Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

Fogdance's voice came again. "Listen, I don't understand why we can't come to an agreement about this," she says. "We're all in the same boat, after all."

"So you keep saying," the unfamiliar voice responds. "But I still ain't convinced."

"If you want to search the whole stronghold again in search of your fellows, me or the twins would be happy to give you yet another guided tour."

"Well, obviously, you wouldn't be just keeping them out in plain sight," the stranger continued. "You could have them hidden away somewhere. We're small, after all. We don't take up too much space, unlike some creatures I could name."

Another equally high-pitched voice chimed in. "Well, I still think one of you might have eaten them," they said.

"Now that is preposterous," Fogdance answers. "Absolutely preposterous. When in the history of all the Isles has a dragon ever eaten a pixie?"

"Well, actually, there have been some reports of accidental consumption of-"

"Not helping, Tamba!" Fogdance cut in quickly, silencing the voice of the younger dragon.

Garrock merely nodded in response, his mind clearly too occupied with his own solemn thoughts to speak.

Just as Skobeloff says, it's not long before they set eyes upon the Stronghold. As they approach the hollowed out tree, Skobeloff will note that the air feels a lot less still, less lifeless, than it did before, as if living beings other than himself have recently come this way. This becomes more apparent as they draw close enough to the tree, as they can now hear voices coming from within. Upon entering the stronghold, Skobeloff will recognise Fogcloud's soft voice, accompanied by a much louder, higher-pitched that doesn't seem particularly pleased. This second voice isn't quite shouting, but they sound as if they would like to. These voices seem to be originating from the kitchen area that Skobeloff was in earlier.

Stargaze's attempt to locate the source of the Darkness takes some time, as there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the vines and thorns growing around them. In fact, she quickly realises none of the plantlife on this island would normally grow like this, meaning the corruption in this area is very strong. Strong enough to warp living beings into something else, something contrary to what nature made them to be. Just like it did with the brownies.

As she is trying to pinpoint what on Adulare could have made this area like, she suddenly becomes aware of breathing. At first, she assumes its one of her companions, but the more she focuses on it, the louder, raspier, and downright uncanny it becomes. Like the breathing of something that doesn't need to do so, that isn't used to breathing. As she follows the sound, she raises her head to see that there, just a few paces in front of her, seperated by a particularly large partition of thorny vines, is a dragon.

Or at least, it's a shape that resembles a dragon, seemingly of bearded age judging by its size. It's crouching, its head lowered as it seems to be watching the group. Upon realising its been seen, the breathing abruptly stops and the dragon begins to back away slowly. The vines surrounding the group start to twitch, as if expectant to see what they will do next.

Thank you!
IC Post with roll incoming! ^_^

@Guardian Angel Haruki

I didn't realise until just now: Haruki, on a 7 you are able to ask 1 of the questions for Survey An Area:
- What resources does this place offer?
- How can I gain access to this place’s secrets?
- What here harbors Darkness?
- Who else knows of this place?
- Are we alone?

Rime of the Frostmaiden

I'm doing alright. You?

@rush99999

I'm fine. Tired, but fine.

Rime of the Frostmaiden

It's been pretty quiet around here. How's everyone doin'?

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Waiting for either Rush or Krog to respond before I have Jub do anything else. He's just hoping that Brut doesn't squish the Lornling.

Di'Siveks: Adventure (A D&D 5E Game)

@Birdboy I am also cool with you returning, if everyone else is.

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

Hmmm...

Do I need to roll another Survey the Area to find anything like a core or the source of darkness?

@Guardian Angel Haruki

You can roll Survey the Area again, yeah.

Sorry for the wait. ^^"

Trying to figure out what to do next.

@Guardian Angel Haruki

Sure. If you want more clarification on the surroundings, feel free to ask.
