Urd Valaak, Druid of the Circle of Spores Urd walked point, well ahead of the skittish mules. He had only pinched a flank once to check the tenderness and fat layers of the meat, and even that more out of curiosity than real hunger. But the beasts remembered and flicked their ears in distress if he drifted too close. However even without their dancing worry Urd would have walked point. He felt most at home riding the ripple the caravan made through the wilderness. The alarm calls of birds, the scurrying of furred things to waiting burrows, the occasional bounding shape. All driven ahead of a creaking wagon and the occasional clank of metal. Urd's mind was deep in the mud as his mentor used to say. Conscious thoughts crawled unhurriedly across the colder, more instinctive part of him. It was an ideal state for a watcher, less so for clever study of magical arts. In this state the unexpected would not trigger surprise, merely recognition and surging action. Trusting the quiet focus of his predator's trance, Urd thoughts drifted to his current companions. Gray Rock Soldier was as solid as his name suggested. Used to fighting and living in a group. Quick Seeker was restless. She always watched you as she spoke. Urd was unsure of her abilities as yet. Twitters At The Sun. Urd recognized the conviction in him. But who can touch the sun? A fickle guiding principle. Silver Blade At Night was a hunter. Urd understood this and gave him space. Warm Voice Cold Eyes was a strange one. Urd did not understand him yet but he had eyes that reminded Urd of his kin.

Ambush! Urd sprang forward after the arrows hit Alwyn. As he moved he channeled power into to his staff. Ephemeral mushrooms glowing with faint blueish bioluminescence sprouted all along it. He brought it down overhand but the goblin danced back. Its triumph at the dodge was short lived however. The same delicate, translucent mushrooms began to grow from its exposed skin. Attack:d20(5) + 5, miss Halo of Spores deals 3 poison damage Urd shouts in Goblin, "Your hunt is failed!"

Urd Valaak, Druid of the Circle of Spores The goblin he had swung at repositioned. Not interested in being harassed by arrows or leaving escape as an option, Urd followed closely. He whipped his staff crosswise as he caught up. It connected with the side on the goblin's neck with a very audible crunch. The creature falls in a heap. Delicate fungus continues to sprout from the corpse. Not Alex fucked around with this message at 15:33 on Mar 26, 2018 |

Shouts drew Urd's attention back to the last visible goblin. It had slipped away from his companions. He knew how evasive a goblin could be if it was trying to flee. They had seconds before it was lost in the trees and beyond their reach. He ran back to the road and held his staff out before him. With a few whispered words he brought the staff down against the ground. A riotous tangle of fungus erupted around the fleeing goblin. Stalks twisted up and hyphae networks entwined. Urd casts Entangle. The goblin needs to make a DC 14 Strength save or be restrained. Also the ground beyond it is difficult terrain.

Urd was content to leave the talking to those more enamored with it. The earth will not lie. The lizard slowly paced the perimeter of the scene of the ambush. Grey Rock Soldier joined him but seemed distracted by the need to keep watch. Urd rolls 24 on Survival. Urd grunted. He looked up at Grey Rock Soldier and pointed. "Twelve or so. Dragging two bodies." Not Alex fucked around with this message at 22:15 on Mar 27, 2018 |

Urd Valaak, Druid of the Circle of Spores Urd marched forward, crude arrow still sticking from his shoulder. As he moved, he blossomed. Frills of fungus fanned from beneath scales and his cloud of spores thickened visibly in the air. The arrow shaft rotted away and a morel sprouted from the wound, pushing the arrowhead with it. Urd's quarterstaff also became ringed with delicate fungus. Coming to the edge of the thicket the shots had come from, Urd peered inside. A goblin was drawing another arrow back. Urd made a broad sweeping gesture. The wounded goblin immediately collapsed in a fit of coughing as a wave of spores swept over him. Death from the toxic spores was swift and soon the tiny, beautiful mushrooms were shrouding the body. Urd activates Symbiotic Entity, casts Shillelagh as a bonus action, and spends his reaction to deal 6 poison damage to the wounded goblin with Halo of Spores.

Urd Valaak, Druid of the Circle of Spores Urd hissed urgently, "We cannot wait now. If the cave is alerted the dwarf is in danger." He contemplated the yawning darkness of the cave opening and turned to face Twitters At The Sun. "Can you command light?"

Urd Valaak, Druid of the Circle of Spores The whistle of arrows sent Urd into action. Weaving among his allies he scrabbled up the narrow defile. At the landing he spotted the group of goblins ahead, readying more arrows. His hand whipped forward and a lashing tendril of plant matter sprung from it and whipped towards the nearest. It yelped and ducked against the cave wall. The thorn whip slashed against the stone and withdrew. Urd cast Thorn Whip. 7 misses.

Urd Valaak, Druid of the Circle of Spores "Truce, or this human dies!" Urd planted his feet in response. "That one's life is the stem by which your own hangs. Speak accordingly." Fungus and plant matter twined from his upraised claw. Urd readies an action to cast Thorn Whip if the goblin moves to harm the prisoner.

Urd Valaak, Druid of the Circle of Spores The bugbear's javelin struck true, piercing Urd's tough scales. Urd felt a seeping weakness leach into his limbs, and a corresponding surge in the tiny jaws within him. Mushrooms bloomed and unfurled around the wound. Urd pulled himself up and lurched towards the goblins, teeth snapping at the life in their throats. He missed but had drawn close enough for the cloud of spores to envelop the nearest goblin. It fell choking. Urd activates Symbiotic Entity. He misses with Hungry Jaws as a bonus action and spends his reaction to spore the nearest goblin to death.

Urd Valaak, Druid of the Circle of Spores Urd keeps his stooped posture and leans on his staff. He's learned not to loom in human towns. "What meat does your kitchen provide?"

Urd Valaak, Druid of the Circle of Spores "Fate shows her teeth. I'll take a leg of lamb in my room. Thank you." Urd makes his way to the room. Using his abilities consumes much of his reserves. He cannot wait to properly sate the gnawing hunger. Dried meat eaten on the move only goes so far.

Urd Valaak, Druid of the Circle of Spores Hearing the clash of steel from down the road, Urd tossed open the window and dropped from the sill. He did not doubt it was his companions in combat. He got his feet under him and sprinted down the cobbled road. Rounding a bend he saw the thugs arrayed against his friends. Not Alex fucked around with this message at 18:37 on Jul 8, 2018 |

Urd Valaak, Druid of the Circle of Spores Urd nodded to his companions and made his way upstairs. On the way he knocked on Sildar's door and rasped through the wood, "Red clad thugs count this town as their hunting grounds. We have killed some. Secure your den." Urd awaited the man's response.

Urd Valaak, Druid of the Circle of Spores Urd woke vastly refreshed. Making his way downstairs he sat down across from Tharr, carefully making sure his tail doesn't knock into any furniture or patrons. His eyes lit up when the server mentions eggs and he ordered six, over easy. He turned to Tharr. "So... we hunt the hunters?"

Urd Valaak, Druid of the Circle of Spores "One must hunt one's own meals in the wild. Jaws will grow weak otherwise." Urd follows Tharr, his bare scaly feet making little noise as he pads forward. Urd rolls a 20 on stealth to creep behind Tharr.
