The Pod-Caverns of the Sinister Shroom (Game Thread VII)

[Jenara]

"I have no spells left, Paladine gave me enough to help you, so you can help with the horses.." She grins, telling the story, "You should have seen his face, he was quite surprised!" She giggles, watching the horses.

"There is the potion I suppose, like Ulster says." She motions to the Vial he carries, if he offers it she gives it an expermental smell.

[JadedDM]

Ulster hands her the potion. It strongly resembles the ones they've found so far in the caverns.

[Jenara]

Giving the potion a chance she feeds a little to Jerrard, if there are no ill affects she carries on.

(OOc: shot in the dark, hope it pays off ok)

[JadedDM]

Jerrard comes to, the worst of his injuries healing quickly. He's still badly beat up, though. He awakens to find he is covered in bandages, Locky is standing over him, and Babushka is cooing a pair of...riding horses?

==========================

Jerrard is healed (2d4+2): 8 HP. He regains consciousness.

[Jenara]

(Yay)

[Jerrard]

Jerrard rises in confusion, what was going on? Horses? And what happened to the Shroom?

"What happened? What are these horses? The Shroom." He rubs his wounds, a look of disbelief in his eyes.

[Jenara]

"Ohh you should have seen it, I sent a Stone at the Shroom and it hit the middle of his head, and then, I picked up this bottle I found, it had horses on it you see." Her face lights up, animated telling the story. "Well it exploded and out popped these two horses and squashed the Shroom." Locky smiles, she looks so happy, pleased.

[Breila]

Babushka had listened to Locky's story while tending to the horses, smiling. When the story is done, she leaves the two pacifies horses, comes over and hugs what she can reach of Jerrard. "I'm happy you will be OK, like me" she says.

"Now, we should go back to the others, they will be worried about us, and rightly so.
We all need rest, and then we can think about how we get everybody - and every animal - out of here."

[Jerrard]

Jerrard smiles, his body aching he just about manages to lift the little Gnome, embracing her tightly. Kissing her hair he sets her down. "I am glad, once again we are saved by a Kender, Locky is definately not your average Kender is she?" He notes with a grin.

"We can barely walk, perhaps a horse could carry us? At least while the roof is suitable?" He takes the book Ulster is carrying if offered, does it have any runes on it?

[Jenara]

"Ohh!" Locky replies with glee, raising her Hoopak above her head with a big smile. She then sets about checking the Shroom and the rest of the room. (Does he have any interesting things on him?) She picks up the broken wand, absentmindely placing it and a few pieces of broken bottle in her pouches.

[Breila]

"Do you remember the steep incline we went down? They can't walk up there with weight on them.

But we might be able to ride them to where the mushroom garden is, perhaps they would even be more comfortable there.

And I'm not so much worried about the roofs than about the ladders between us and the outside world"

(ooc: will need to add to my maps, seeing if they might be a way out, that'll take some time)

[Jenara]

"They'd like that, can horses eat mushrooms?" Locky ponders, her eyes wide with wonder. "They really are lovely horses aren't they."

[Breila]

"Oh yes, these are very beautiful horses, and very valuable. They are a real treasure.

And no, they probably can't eat mushrooms. But they might be more comfortable there than here on the naked ground"


(ooc: anyone horse-savvy here? could it be dangerous to let them alone with something that maybe they shouldn't eat?)

[JadedDM]

Jerrard discovers the book's cover is identical to the book he found in the Shroom's library. Inside are a collection of spells.

(OOC: Most fungus isn't edible. Horses need 5-10 gallons of fresh water a day and about 20-25 pounds of food a day. Then again, these horses were summoned up by magic, so who can say?)

[Jenara]

(Well the river has water, but where do we get food?? hmmm....)
