Tests and Trials

[Arch Lich Burns]

"Fair eno'gh." Joe looks at the lizard. "Kroshav, do nae worry we'd get ya back ta normal.

He may nay know what be goin' on. We need ta keep n eye on him n stay calm."

[spiderwrangler]

Kro-zard shifts an eyeball to look at little food.

[thinkslogically]

Ves looks in surprise at the transformed Kroshav.

"Yeah this doesn't look like goblins... Can you change him back?"

((What might it be? Nature check- 1d20 = [9] = 9 ))

[spiderwrangler]

Bigger meat is looking at him...

Kro-zard slowly starts backing away...

[thinkslogically]

"Hey... Easy there you big lizard... Don't go getting all skittish now."

Ves breaks eye contact and tries to look non-threatening as she pulls a rope out of her pack.

1d20+3 = [4] = 7

[spiderwrangler]

Bigger food not looking... Can't see run!

Kro-zard makes for the nearest tree and scrabbles up as far as he can go.

[Dlover]

Ohey, Lurn comes in handy here. Speech of Beast andLeaf. Can't understand Kroshav, but can make himself understood. At least as understood as he could be by an equally dense humanoid.

"Friend, friend, come here. We are your friends in this, and wish to protect you."
1d20+3 = [8] = 11
1d20+3 = [18] = 21
(Speech of Beast and Leaf gives advantage on persuasion on plants and beasts. Applies quite well. XD)

[thinkslogically]

"Son of a- "

Ves curses as the lizard scampers off, but is caught out by Lurn's odd speech.

[Rodgeir]

To Ves Kroshav is now a common tree lizard, if somewhat on the large size. The coloration is also not normal but it seems that was probably the point.

Kro-zard makes it quickly past his confused group members and 20 feet up the nearest tree when he hears Lurn call out to him and it tugs at something deep down. Images of a large blue furry not-eat me creature flash through his tiny brain.

((int roll again -4 for Kro-zard))

[spiderwrangler]

AAAHHH! Biggest not-eat food in head!

Int: 1d20-4 = [1] = -3

Kro-zard scrambles into the upper reaches of the tree.

[thinkslogically]

Ves remembers the vines and keeps moving her feet.

"Forget him for now, who did that to him?!"

She turns to Jaq and Joe: "What the hells is going on?*

[NotStickFigures]

"I am not certain, but I think it is mischievous fey folk. Maybe pixies. I've never dealt with them, but stories my dad told is that they are tiny fey that like playing their sort of pranks and that they live in the forests and wilds. So it would fit. They have strong magic, I don't think we will win a fight. We need to stay calm. If we fight we'll probably all end up scattered and changed into goddess' know what."

[thinkslogically]

"Ugh... What do you suggest? Is it safe to stay? We need to get Krishan back, but if we're all about to be turned into lizards too I don't think that'll help him..."

Ves tries to keep an eye on where Kroshav has gone.
1d20+3 = [8] = 11

[Arch Lich Burns]

"We can break tha form by damagin' it but we may hurt Krosav doin' so."

[thinkslogically]

"You sure? I don't want to kill him..."

[Dlover]

"It's rather late for that. Unless a single arrow would do the job, he would be long gone before it worked, and if he dies in the transition my magics cannot preserve him. The safer option, I think, is to force the fey folk to return him to normal. Surely such things cannot be worked on all persons, so I say if Jaq can't talk to them we set the forest ablaze."

[NotStickFigures]

"Hang on, let me try talking," Jaq says quickly, to stop any talk about forest fires.

Persuasion 1d20+1 = [4] = 5

In elvish, "My little friends, can you come out so we can see and talk to you?"
He will unready his bow and try to look less threatening.

[spiderwrangler]

Kro-zard flicks his tongue about, trying to pick up trace of more size appropriate prey. Perhaps a nice bush-tail, or some of the gooshy rocks that the feather-squawks leave...

Perception or Survival?
1d20 = [19] = 19 +- mod

[Rodgeir]

((Can I get a history check from Joe and Jaq regarding pixies. Also Joe's arcana check from earlier would have let her know that polymorph, as done by pixies, is a temporary issue that can be waited out. Normally not lasting more than hour.))

Ves can make out the shiny body of Kro-zard up among the tree's tallest branches. His coloration making him easy to spot even partially concealed 50ft above the ground. The vines seem to have decided to stay underground.

Jaq's inquiry goes out but there is no response. Since the beginning of Kro-zard situation things have been quiet, no laughing or whispering. It seems likely to Lurn they've left the area.

Jolly gets a stricken look on his face, "Don't want to be a lizard, finally going to the temple." He waves his short sword awkwardly towards an empty tree.
---
Kro-zard detects a nest slightly down from him out on a branch. No tasty mommy home but six large, tasty food rocks. Maybe wait for mommy too?

Fuzz tails jumped to another tree...if still maybe they hop back?

Also female near, not in tree but close.

[spiderwrangler]

One now, more later... Ok, one more... One more...

Huh, gooshy rocks all gone. Maybe wait now?

[Rodgeir]

((You keep things this funny and the polymorph may become permanent ))

[NotStickFigures]

History 1d20+1 = [5] = 6

My rolls the last few days!!

[Rodgeir]

((Better than Spider's!))

Jaq really doesn't remember much more about pixies. Its been a long time since he dad and mom were telling him stories about pixies. He does know that they are good and love tricks but not a lot more than that.

[spiderwrangler]

((Hey my egg finding roll was good enough I was able to count to 6!))

[Arch Lich Burns]

Joe tries to remember all she can about Pixies. Joe Average history [1d20+4] = 17+4 = 21
