DF Felltower: Field trip!

Galen and Wyatt headed about a bit under a week ago, seeking the local Drum Circle of Druids.

They're brining the vine suit they found to find out what it is and does.

Wyatt took care to carefully wrap it up in cloth, to protect it from the weather and wear, although he did note it was intact even as it was found with a skeleton. And, to be noted, it does seem to be extremely fresh plant material.

This is tough because no one knows who they are, or what they are doin'.*

They need the council of Warlock, head druid**, and his fellow druids.


Warlock, the Head Druid and Drum Circle Leader

Amusingly, Galen wants Wyatt to "do the talking." Galen has something like a net +4 reaction roll from druids - +5 from Outdoorsman, his Ring of Animal Friendship, and his +1 reputation as a Cleanser of the Garden of Trent Oakheart. Wyatt has a +1 from the same reputation. Even with Galen's -1 for his callous nature, and his -1 for roleplaying (heh, mostly joking), he's the best

They didn't bring anything but the vine suit. I think they're hoping for information in return for information, or the usual PC offer of exchange - "completing a quest." Yes, video games have permanently altered how gamers think of negotiation and personal value. "Are you sure you don't need something killed, or something brought from point A to point B, and way, way, way too much money to give for that?" We'll see how that works - it's a reaction roll at +4, so a 7-22, average 14.5.

We'll resolve their rolls to find the druids (Naturalist), living along the way (Survival), talking to the druids (reaction roll), and getting there and back (Orienteering). It should be routine, given the skill level of Galen.

And we'll quickly, pre-game, sort out the results next Sunday.

  1. Another thing I didn't know Galen had, a Ring of Animal Friendship. What does that do?

    1. What it says - it gives him some levels of Animal Friend.

    2. Actually it's worth noting that he won't get both +2 from Outdoorsman and a +2 from Animal Friend from actual druids. The +2 from Outdoorsman, yes . . . Animal Friend is for animals, only.

    3. Unless the Druid is an animal maybe? I mean, we knew Druid Beary McBearson was a bear... but we didn't know he was a //bear//.

    4. I can't help but imagine Yogi the Bear - Druid
