Daggerheart: The Witherwild

Pepper Celestina Brevil

---

Pepper was willing to wait for the Ribbet to remember, but she hoped that she wouldn't take too long. Every second counted when lives are on the line. Before she could even say anything, a rustle of plant life caught her attention. She looks to the sound and she sees a large, woolly auroch limping out. While the animal is large enough to reach the bottom of the village on its hind legs, she noted that this animal is most likely to be an herbivore considering the bovine qualities.

But that basic assessment did not do anything to quell the fear that stirred. She notes something red, pulsing beneath the fur on its belly and side. She squints trying to see whether the red is blood or a growth, but she couldn't make anything out. It was too far, and it's clear that she had her nose in the books for too long. She needs to get herself farsighted spectacles when she gets the chance.

Regardless, she does spot what exactly has her instincts screaming of danger and set her on edge: The eyes.

The eyes of the auroch are glazed over and unfocused. It's not properly taking in the sights of its surroundings! That's never a good sign when it comes to medicine and health.

She isn't familiar with how to handle animals, but she at the very least knew that right now, it's not aggressive. She needed to make sure that the animal wouldn't become aggressive any moment, which meant no sudden movements. She slowly moves her hand to her wand, while slowly taking a step back towards the stairs.

She looks to the Ribbet Guard, and realized that she needed to say something. But calling to the Ribbet might cause the Auroch to become aggressive. Pepper, despite her fear, decided to take the risk.

She calls to the Ribbet Guard, "Something's not right with this Auroch! Get help!"

I'd say it would, so that would be 9 with hope then.

I'll say from the physical signs she can see, Pepper can tell this is definitely not rabies or any similar, but other than that, what this creature might be suffering from is unknown to her. The creature doesn't seem aggressive right now, but... something definitely is not right with it.

Thank you! ^_^

Post incoming!

I'd say for that... give me a Knowledge roll.

@XxFellsingxX

OK.

O_O...
7 with Hope? I rolled really low with that one...

I don't suppose her Experience, Major in the Healing Artes would help with this? ^^"

I had to double check just to make very sure, but yeah, you do add both dice.

Hmmm.... 16 with fear, let's see...

Pepper sees a large, woolly auroch (one of these guys, but imagine them with long, thick fur like a woolly mammoth has) limping out of the woods. Pepper would have heard of these as a creature extinct practically everywhere else except for the Fanewick. In its side and belly, she notices something red pulsating beneath its fur. Maybe it's a lot of blood, an infected wound or some kind of growth, but she can't tell from here. Its eyes are hazy, clouded, like it's not properly taking in its surroundings.

Also, when I say, large, I mean big enough that if it stood on its hind legs, its could almost touch the bottoms of some of the buildings nestled in Alula's trees. Animals can grow to practically kaiju sizes in Fanewick.

@XxFellsingxX

Interesting!

Since its eyes are hazy and clouded, what should I roll to determine if it is state similar to having rabies? Is it going to attack anyone?

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Apologies for my delayed post, life is a bit busy. I'll work on getting one up this next week.

@Lurking Krog

No worries. Completely understandable. ^_^

Looking forward to your post! XD

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Ok, so we each make our own and then just embed the link to the roll?

@CajunRobinHood

That is correct.
You create your own dice thread to generate your rolls, and then embed the link to your roll. ^_^

I’ve never done a tabletop-based pbp before. Is it pure RP, do we have dice rolls (and if so, how?)

Also, I have an overnight shift of work tonight so I’m gonna try to catch up on as much of the IC posts as possible

@CajunRobinHood

We do have dice rolls. ^_^ We roll them in the site's dice threads.
For example, Zavakri's Con Save: 22

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

@Guardian Angel Haruki

How’s it look?

@CajunRobinHood

It looks great! Thank you very much! ^_^

Go ahead and post Oskarr in the Characters Tab, and I'll let you know when it's time to introduce him.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

@CajunRobinHood I took a look at your character sheet, and I should have clarified something: We are only using the 2014 content. Circle of Stars from TCE is acceptable. No 2024 content please. ^_^

Sorry about that. Please be sure to adjust your character sheet accordingly.

The Wild Beyond the Witchlight

Awesome! I haven’t settled on a name yet, but my basic character idea is a dwarf that had his beard stolen at the Witchlight Carnival. This lead to him being exiled from the mountains he called home. He wound up living with a community of halfling druids who were happy to have a stout new friend and didn’t care about his appalling lack of facial hair.

What would be the best way for me to meet the party? I read the summary you posted a while ago

@CajunRobinHood

Interesting!

Considering the party found one of the items they were looking for and a key item to progress, I am thinking of introducing your character when they return to meet with a certain NPC. I'll let you know when that moment of introduction comes, of course. ^_^

Feel free to post your character in the OOC thread for review.
