Herbology 420 - December 23, 2016

- New kitchen stuff is new!
- Internet stalking is difficult without a last name.
- Apparently bar-tending is the road to acting and music
- Tempering chocolate is tricky.
- Great British Bake-Off
- Loud phone is loud.

- After more discussion of the horrible, murderous plan, T makes The Sad, Lip Face for about half an hour straight
-A red, rashy, itchy Thessalie suits up in her thickest clothing and gloves, folds the waxed fabric she had in her bag for the Lellzutho parts and uses that to carry the cursed sword up into the mountains a bit, but she's exhausted after only about a mile.
- Felosyal takes a turn carrying the cursed sword, but she quickly tires. It's hot in all those layers of fabric.
- It is at this point that Sharai thinks to cast an Unseen Servant to carry the sword. (She's been hanging out with T too much.)
- Now that T is not burdened with heavy clothes and the sword, she examines the plants as they walk, and finds enough herbs good for the skin to make two doses of poultice for her and F's rashes
- Near the end of another hour of walking, FST find a shallow cave with boulders suitable for the purpose of hiding the cursed sword
- T Shapes the Stone around the sword so that it is embedded with 5' of stone in every direction for maximum magical concealment
- Outside the cave, T uses the same spell (Stone Shape) to shape another boulder to match a fallen column she remembers (with S's help) from the ruined city and write BOHITCA in Dwarven ruins on the back of the column where it's not easily seen by a random passerby
- FST head back to the ruined city and the kobolds
- T makes a poultice out of the herbs for her and F's skin and they apply it to each other
- S again makes a Hut for F & T and then a separate one for only her again
- S spends the portion of the night talking to the Orbs. She tries to get information out of them about the kobold's disease, but they are less than helpful.
- The next morning, Thessalie's red patchy spots are a little smaller, but F's have gotten a little bigger and worse
- T gets permission from F to take a small sliver of her skin from her forearm to test some herbs to see if she can find something that will help her without risking all of her skin.
- S goes to talk to Kimkek to ask where all the openings leading to the cave where the sick kobolds are for the walling them in part of the terrible plan
- She then examines one of the statue kobolds, but she can't sense anything new about the disease (Nat 1 on Arcana check)
- She tries to get T turn use Stone Shape on one of the kobolds, but T is too busy testing herbs to help, so she busts one up with her staff, "Can't you just do it with a stick?"
- T doesn't want to start closing holes yet, but S grabs her arm and drag her to the back entrance to the cave that Kimkek, she tells T that there are four more entrances
- F goes hunting, but after four hours she only comes back with one squirrel
- While F is hunting, T goes looking for more of the plants that helped her and finds enough in the lower hills to create fifteen doses of the poultice
- T mixes up some more poultice for her and F, and S sleeps in her open separate Hut again
- The next morning, T has no more visible rash on her skin, S has no visible rash on her skin, but most of F's skin is now gray, and she's extremely fatigued (Exhaustion Level 1) and the tips of her fingers are starting to calcify (toes too)
- T is very peeved that her poultice is not helping her friend
- S contemplates very strongly considers doing a Sending to Sensani to tell her to fuck off
- S tries to convince T to close up the only remaining entrance to the cave where the sick kobolds are, but T figures that something is up and refuses. She intends to hunt herbs in the hills to find something to help F
- S says she'll come help, but when they look over at F, she has red stripes from scratching up and down her arms.
- S & T make F put on her gloves, and T uses linen bandages to ties them to her wrist to prevent her from scratching, so S stays behind to ty to prevent her from damaging her skin, but she just ends up rubbing the itchy spots and the calcified parts of her fingers are starting to wearing her gloves thin
- T comes after a few hours with a small mountain of herbage. She begins making a variety of poultices to test on F
- While T is out, S and F go looking for the Orbs kobold pile, and they find a cave in the side of a hill with slashed and chewed up kobold corpses outside
- S does not sense anything magical about the cave. F says it looks like a large animal has been chewing on the kobolds. S examines the bite marks and marking in the dirt, but she doesn't get any additional information, so they just turn around and come back
- T goes Nurse Ratched and starts ordering F about, but she still can't seem to stop scratching and her calcified fingertips are starting to poke through her gloves
- S tries to convince T to wall up the only other entrance to the cave to the sick kobolds, but she still refuses and is too busy dabbing thing onto and poking F to prevent scratching to argue with S, and so the day passes
- S sleeps in her own Hut again
- The next morning F's skin color is improving and her fingertips are no longer calcified, but she's still
- T concocts a plan to Stone Shape F a bathtub and make S heat the water to brew a tea-like bath for F to soak in with all the herbs she collect to cover all her bases
