LIAM: Is there anything to add to– ooh.
SUMALEE: Ten.
MATT: Ten, okay. You still have your Luck feat if
you want to, unless you want to save it.
SUMALEE: Oh, yes.
MATT: You have two more points left.
SUMALEE: I think we should use it. Yes. I would
like to use one Luck point.
MATT: One more Luck point.
SUMALEE: 17 plus seven. 24.
MATT: 24, okay!
SUMALEE: We shall survive.
MATT: Not only do you swiftly manage to find the
portions of the wooded paths that are least
blockaded by thorny brambles and fallen
half-rotted trees, but you also manage to help the
party avoid a few small openings that look
uniquely and uncomfortably welcoming. In the midst
of a wood like this, you know from your experience
as well, that it is not always a good idea to step
where it seems most inviting, when you know the
wood around you to be less so.
MARISHA: (whispering) Yes, yes.
MATT: As you crest around the second of these open
groves, you notice how the ground itself seems to
shift slightly, and you watch as for a moment it
seems to almost pit as elements of the dirt suck
inward. You know the antlion funnels that appear
in the sand and begins to come in towards them.
The ground almost seems to sink in for a second
before righting itself. The grove stands flat once
more, but thankfully, due to the survival
instincts of your firbolg leader, you manage to
careen past two of these patches without issue.
Pushing on at a fairly intense speed, within three
and a half hours, not even the full four–
ASHLY: Hey!
MATT: You manage to make your way to an area where
the color notably changes ahead of you. The
somewhat still purple-gray color that suffuses
most of the natural landscape within the
Savalierwood, gives way to a patch of green in the
distance. This is the first sign that calls forth
that warm sensation you got when you had checked
this path within your smell bag. As the rest of
you begin to gather up behind Nila, the closer you
get you begin to watch as these winter trees, that
comprise most of this northern forest, give way to
green oaks and swamp-based plant life. The
temperature, as you get to a certain threshold,
begins to be not quite as biting cold, slightly
warmer with each step. Looking around immediately,
the first thing that catches your eye is this
large wall of tangled vine and thorns. The same
purplish-gray color. The green is still ahead of
you. Do you guys want to continue on? Anything you
want to do?
ASHLY: You said there’s a wall of thorns?
MATT: It looks like a natural wall that curls up
about five or so feet.
ASHLY: In our way.
MATT: In your way, yes.
