Artesia speaks quietly to her comrades. "My halfling sense says we're being taken for a ride, but if we aid them, it may be worth our while. What do you think?"

Iroven whispered to Artesia, "I think they are not able to deal with their current problem and want to see how capable we are."

Koram pulls his senses back to himself then steps forth and joins Haitith, walking closer to the others. He looks over the strangers and nods in their direction. "I agree, on all accounts. These wild lands are not teeming with potential allies. We may do some good here, and gain friends in the process."

"Well, we found this opening under the roots," Belguese explains.

"Probably some animal den once upon time," Arvis adds. "Our hypothesis is it probably pulled in some unsuspecting hunter and it's spirit is what's currently haunting the area."

"Oh, sure. Blame the poor animal" Tomas mutters from the back.

"Show us the way then," Koram suggests. "We'll see what we can do."

You enter into the cave and it leads into a small den of some kind, lots of small tunnels lead off in several directions. You have barely had time to get your bearings when several roots on the ground start moving about and you hear two voices speaking at the same time: "Ooooh... I am the ghost of vengeance... I will eat your blood!"
OOC:
You can give me an Initiative roll.

Tomas springs into action.

Rolls

Perception - (1d20+12+2)

(14) + 14 = 28

Iroven drew his sword and shield at the sound of the voice.

Rolls

Perception - (1d20+11)

(4) + 11 = 15

Artesia chortles. "It sounds more like our 'spirit' is a pair of children playing a prank." Still, she brings out her holy symbol.

Koram and Haitith ready themselves at the strange voices calling out.

Rolls

Koram Perception - (1d20+9)

(17) + 9 = 26

Haitith Perception - (1d20+10)

(17) + 10 = 27

You have arrived into a small den barely big enough for all of you, tunnels lead of into several directions. Tomas and Koram think they can spot some movement in one of the tunnels and the two of you may act.

In the dark tunnel Tomas call on the clarity of the day. An orb of light shimmers into being in the tunnel where he glimpsed movement, moving to help him investigate.
OOC:

2 actions: Tomas cast Light in the tunnel,
1 action: then sustains the spell to move it close to anything interesting.

As the light spell lights up the cave you can see several pine leshys hiding in the dark who fall over themselves laughing and giggling. "You should have seen your faces," one of them manage to get our between laughs.

"I thought as much," Arestina says with a chuckle. "Our 'spirits' are a couple of merry pranksters."

Tomas snorts, then sighs "So is our new crusader friend 'spirit' problem solved?"
Nov 19, 2025 9:47 am
"They had it coming, they were rude to the trees!" one of the pine leshys says, sticking out their tongue in the direction of the exit where the three soldiers are still waiting.

One by one, several leshys crawl out of the tunnels and number six in total.

"Finding the source of their worry, I agree! You had them shaking. Well done! We have no ill intent toward your kind, and certainly no reason to be rude to the trees. May you tell us what they did to earn your ire?"

Rolls

Diplomacy (Cha) - (1d20+14)

(19) + 14 = 33

Iroven released a sigh of relief when he saw the leshys. He sheathed his blade and spoke, "I humbly apologize for whatever the crusaders did to earn your ire."

"They took trees to build their camp without showing respect to mother," one of the leshys replies. "But mostly we just find them fun to play with."

You can see one of the leshys being annoyed. "Your not supposed to talk about mother," she says quietly to her companion, though still loud enough for you to pick up on.
