Mole's Attack is difficult at best. He nearly turns himself around, though he quickly regains his composure and his stance though he misses completely.

Varos' first shot goes wide, but his second shot finds its mark. The ray is spitted through its gills and begins to convulse. It sinks to the sea floor leaving a trail of blood on the water.
OOC:
Biscuit and Mole still get their normal action this round. Ray armor class is 6.

OOC:
OK got it
Hey you, overgrown flounder! I'll cut you in pieces Mole realize that tale is too hard to hit and moves into normal combat with the creature

Rolls

Attack normal - (1d20+2, 1d8+1)

1d20+2 : (12) + 2 = 14

The last Ray is shot through twice. It lies dead on the sea floor. A trail of blood is in the water...

An urging is felt by Varos. Mother Hush is calling...
Dec 6, 2025 7:58 pm
Varos will turn back to the room and the apparition "Do you need something Mother Hush?" He is taking it that is her name since that is what the rays said. Wait rays were talking? That is not common he thinks.

She speaks telepathically to Varos.

"The priest has been asleep. I have rendered him such. He has been a pawn in the monster's game. This creature, the Ichor, it calls itself lies in the trench beyond. There is a sunken temple in that trench where the creature lives. The Ixitzachitl, the rays, are it's servants and priests. They were hoping to extend their evil above on dry land using this priest as a surrogate for further influence. Soon all memories, including your own will be consumed by the Ichor. It must be destroyed. I cannot leave the Daggerwake, but I can aid you by providing an item of your choice with which to defeat the Ichor."

I understand. Is that one item or one item for each of us? Varos will then relate the info to Mole and Biscuit.
Dec 7, 2025 5:16 am
OOC:
One item for each of you. That's three items in all.
Dec 7, 2025 4:09 pm
"Can you give us an idea of what items would give us the best chance of defeating the Ichor?"

OOC:
post-combat
Meet your doom Moke tryies to make a parody of voice he hear earlier. Then spit... at least tries to but in underwater it appears to work different than he is used to. Well crap. We can finnally get priest back home now! dwarf sounds happy.

Until Varos informs he they need to go even deeper to do some more fighting

I feel like pawn in this game. First elves give us a gift to lire us here, then this voice in your - Varos - head try to lure us even deeper. dwarf complains. Biscuit, do you think we could even trust this man? What if he is trying to lure? I don't hear no voice he talks about.
OOC:
As much as I can read above it was always only Varos who eve hear the voice. We never did. Is that understanding of mine correct?
Besides, I am still role playing dwarf hate to the deep water dwelling.
Dec 7, 2025 7:13 pm
OOC:
Yes, only Varos hears Mother Hush.
Dec 7, 2025 10:54 pm
Varos will address his dwarven comradesMother Hush has said will give each of us an item to help us. I have asked her if she knows the best items to complete our tasks."
Dec 8, 2025 3:00 am
OOC:
So, this is your chance to get an item that you feel would help you the most. It can be your preferred weapon, a ring, armor, helm, etc. Decide what your character would want if they were to continue on to confront this "Ichor".
Dec 8, 2025 10:55 am
OOC:
I asked Mother Hush if she knew what would help us most against the Ichor. Does she know?
Dec 8, 2025 11:20 am
OOC:
It was very clear that Mother Hush will give us items as upfront reward for risking our lives fighting Ichor.
I am trying to ropleplay following, but feel free to just narrate result skipping role play:
1. Mole don't trust Varos who he barelly met an hour ago. Varos could as well be Ichor's agent, can't he?
2. Mole is reasonably afraid of the mission
3. Mole will ask for a longbow + arrows, but if that does not qualify as a single item then plate male
4. He is going to want know more about that Ichor
I take my own decisions. Mole comments Varos' suggestion to ask Mother Hush what are the best items. But to make that decision I need to know more about that Ichor. Why doesn't it leave temple, or does it? How we know we are killing Ichor not another good creature under control of the Ichor? Should we expect that Ichor to fight us in melee, use magic and mind control, or else?
That's some questions for starters.

This time you all hear Mother Hush. Though telepathically, her voice comes through as pleasant and notably, her speech is in the manner of nobility rather than common.

"This Ichor will try to use its powers to make you forget, even your mission. It is a creature, of ancient days. It has crept up out of the depths from a fissure. It cannot be reasoned with. Upon thee Dwarf, I bestow the Arc of Deep Blue. Use it well."

A Longbow of Sapphire and blue coral appears in Mole's hand.

"How far is this temple?"thinking for a secondI think I would like a nice sturdy staff to replace the one I fight with.
Dec 9, 2025 1:49 am
"Mole, these days I don’t think we can trust anyone or anything." Biscuit wouldn’t mind a sturdy helm for extra protection. If possible, something nice and shiny that would impress the ladies.
Dec 9, 2025 2:48 am
"The Rift is half a day from here. To thee Elf I give the Staff of Scarlet Ribbons and to thee Halfling I give The Crystal Helm."
Dec 9, 2025 3:05 am
The Staff of Scarlet Ribbons
Upon command, the staff may be used in the following ways
1. You may call forth two lashing ribbons that act as a +1 flail doing 2d6 +2 damage
2. You may call forth a long whip like ribbon that can Entangle for 1d4 rounds upon a successful hit, essentially restraining a creature with arms and or legs. You may use this feature once per adventure.
3. You may call forth the enchantment of +1 protection (+1 AC, +1 to saving throws.)

Upon reaching 3rd level, researching the name of the last owner will unlock further powers.
