"There's a perfectly serviceable non-mosquito corpse right here, if someone wants to carry it... I'm not though, it's gross. Then again there's lots of loose bits, if he doesn't want a -whole- corpse...uck..."

All will search further despite the mess, and make the trade for two berries to one mushroom if she has time either prior to or post search.

Ah of course, sorry SW! :oops:

Attack mosquito, offer trade if thats a minor action, otherwise just attack and I'll leave the rest till the following turn. If someone attacks and kills the mosquito before me, I will salvage proboscis (if possible) and offer trade :)

Caravan Route Under Threat! Turn 6

That mosquito is nothing if not persistent, but Leaves once again dodges its attempts to land on him.

Costa apologizes to her as he uses Bloodsong to collect Mosquito Mouthparts and a pair of Mosquito Wings. He lets the rest of its body fall into the dirt.


All swaps two Small Hard Purple Berries for a Small Grey Mushroom in between Leaves' attempts to fend off the mosquito. Returning to the silk mound, she notices that the edge of the silk is sticking out a bit. Grasping it, she pulls upwards and the sheet of silk lifts off the mound of decaying flesh. It seems to have been placed over top of the bodies and tucked underneath rather than wrapped around them. Setting the silk to the side, she doesn't get much of a chance to inspect the mound before the smell makes her eyes water. It doesn't have a lasting effect though, and wiping away the tears restores her sight.

Leaves' first blade doesn't make solid contact, and his second one whiffs entirely as the mosquito dodges...

... right into Mines's fist.

He shakes the goo from his knuckles and they both breathe a sigh of relief.


Steals collects the Severed Rat Head and Headless Rat Body, and moves over to inspect the log... his/her hopes for epic loot dashed as it seems to be just a plain old log, and likely too large to carry back to the GAL unless multiple goblins were to work together on it. It has been lying on the forest floor long enough to grow a sweet shelf fungus though.

[thumbnail]https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/C870g ... 58-h768-no[/thumbnail]

Remedy, still a bit muddled and bloodthirsty, is all set to take the rat to pieces, but can no longer spot its body. She does spot the Human Rib Bone with some bits of meat clinging to it the rat had been chewing on earlier, and collects that. Looking up, she doesn't spot any spider webs, but those things ARE notoriously difficult to see, even after you walk right into one and it gets all over your face.

Mines will inspect the bodies. This story of spider attacks is seeming less likely, and he finds himself tempted to go the "wrong" way at the fork, after all...

Leaves will collect mosquito mouthparts, and will move over to the sheet of silk. If the mosquito was too badly smushed to harvest, Leaves will instead try and extract the silk sheet and roll it up, it may come useful in future. He points to the fork, indicating they should perhaps take the 'wrong' path.

I feel armored enough that I feel like I could go partly alone one way, maybe with another person with a lot of armor or healing capabilites, making us able to investigate both places. I'll have Steals continue onwards in the right direction for now though.

Steals the man gives Remedy a weird look as the beserking axe influence her talk.
"You are welcome to come along, I'm not sure how we'll go about this quest as the trader made it seem like a scam or he tries to ambush us by 'warning' us of the other path. This all seems so suspecious, I'll continue onwards towards the spiders anyways though. It'll be a vacation for my brain compared to the last quest. Burning and pointy end goes into spider."

Directional right, or 'correct' right?

"I want to see what, if anything, we can learn from the bodies and the web. The creepy quest-giver was oddly emphatic. I'm not sure whether or not to trust him. But if the spiders were framed, I'm not going to charge after them. I don't want to split the party, but I won't attack without good reason."

Caravan Route Under Threat! Turn 7


Mines heads over to join All in inspecting the bodies...

[thumbnail]https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/u7_PJ ... 66-h865-no[/thumbnail]

... the jumbled pile seems to consist mostly of the rotting corpses of two horses, but around the backside, All spots the arm and booted foot of a human... perhaps the driver of one of the missing caravans?

Leaves cuts free two Mosquito Mouthparts before heading over and rolling up a swath of Stinky Silk.


Costa, after a brief period of forgetting which is his left and which is his right, starts down the path to the right... in the distance he can spot another sign, but is unable to read it from here. He hears a whining sound that sounds rather familiar...


[thumbnail]https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/QNWHv ... 53-h792-no[/thumbnail]

Steals and Remedy head further to the left. Before long they see another downed log... this one has a green snake on it that begins slithering into the undergrowth as they approach. Remedy's ears pick up the high pitched drone of more mosquitoes... louder than the first swarm that attacked them.

Leaves will switch the crossbow, and go straight from where they approached the danger sign, as opposed to left or right, just for a little bit of reconnaisance and no great distance.

(Sorry, I wasn't sure if it was a crossroads or a T-Junction. If its just a T-Junction, Leaves will follow after Costa.)

All will follow Mines, assuming he's going to go down the 'wrong' route after what he said, with her mace out and ready to defend herself. "This is definitely weird, I think we're doing the right thing by checking out this other path..."

"Little snake, wait. Can you help us or tell anything?" she says, walking after it. "There are mosquitos coming, can you hear the faint hum in the air growing louder?" she says to Steals. "I wish I knew if the snake did run from us or them. Maybe we should follow it."

With All agreeing that things seem fishy, Mines, with a worried glance over his shoulder who turned left, will take the path which is both right and wrong. "I was really hoping we'd stick together. I hope they'll be okay..."

A bit late with this response, but it's alright for Remedy to take her trophies from the rat. We can also split up in two equally large groups going different ways (or 3 groups to investigate the last one as well :lol: )

"I think you might waste your time trying to talk to a snake but feel free to follow it I guess."
Steals then turns towards either a group of mosquitos' or a really giant one, and swings his burning sword trying to hit one and scare the others with the fire.
