In reply to Tommy (msg # 604):

"Perhaps. But the tiny amount of the right poison will kill even the largest of beasts. Do not underestimate your research...it might be more valuable than a battery of siege.weapons."

Jendrich shakes his head. "I don't know much about poison... but if you try to kill that, you should figure out what's above it. Just in case it starts trashing the area in it's death throes."

In reply to Jendrich (msg # 607):

"The roots of that tree wend deep... its death throes would collapse the caverns around it.  Agitating it further might cause it to move further..

oh my these are some delicacies!"

with the trade goods, including the slorn eggs and some of the meats harvested by Ulo, and especially the bales of hemp, Rush and his investors look to have made a considerable profit even with the anti-orc price gouging by the hobgoblins wh we n selling the hemp.

While looking around for the potions that were mentioned, Virgilio smiles.  "I'm glad the trip did well, at least.

"No, we wouldn't want to do anything to make that beast thrash more than it already has.  What we want is something that will make it go quietly to sleep before we administer something deadly.  Or else, just keep it asleep; I don't want to picture something that size decomposing in water that connects to I don't know where.  A little out of my usual line of research, but if I could find the right library here in Northport..."

OOC: Do we manage to heal up?

In reply to Dne Utrotare (msg # 610):

the trolls offer a feast of roasted cave fish, and some other meats, and assorted fungi along with some root vegetables.

some bitter tasting healing potions are offered as well.


are all of you partaking?

In reply to Narrator (msg # 611):

Tommy, and presumably Brunhilda, is.

Bitter medicine is better than no medicine.  Virgilio will take at least one dose (needs 9 points healed), two if needed.

He makes a bit of a face.  "My dad told me beer was an acquired taste because the hops are bitter -- but I don't know if I could acquire this taste.  Hopefully I won't get hurt often enough to need to."

Syvanus partakes selectively of those things he can identify. Mushrooms are Fungi, so that isn't much of a problem.

Dne partakes.  He figures he'll die soon if he doesn't get healed.

Remembering the potency of troll ingredient, Jendrich braces himself as he starts eating.

In reply to Jendrich (msg # 616):

I need a basic HT roll from each of you; trolls have universal digestion and resistance to Metabolic hazards, so their cooking is a little... flavorful.

4hp back to each potion drinker, per dose.

Grohm also partook of the offered food without complaint.   Almost anything was better than trail rations.


[Private to GM: Grohm also has resistance to Metabolic hazards like the trolls do.  Racial trait. I can still roll if you need one.   Also, I forgot if Grohm was injured or not, but if he was, he took a potion as needed.]

In reply to Grohm'Tahl (msg # 618):

Grohm'Tahl feels a mild euphoria and his Night Vision sharpens a bit... his eyes are a little dialated.

Virgilio perks up as the potions take hold, then eats a light meal, paying little attention to the nature of the food.

[Private to GM: 18:37, Today: Virgilio Hohlfeld rolled 14 using 3d6.  HT (11) eating troll food.]

In reply to Virgilio Hohlfeld (msg # 620):

Virgilio has sharp digestive cramps, causing a 3 pt fp loss

Virgilio, just happy to be (almost) healed, grimaces a little but says nothing in full voice.

"Note to self -- ask what's in unfamiliar food before eating."

[Private to GM: 08:47, Today: Jendrich rolled 7 using 3d6.  vs HT (12).]

The meal hits hard, but thanks to Jendrich's previous experience, he knew to take his time eating the stuff.

In reply to Jendrich (msg # 623):

Jendrich temporarily gains a little night vision, but bright lights give him a headache.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 624):

After the feast, the orc negotiates the sale of the Slorn eggs, the assorted clith, cheese, wood, and smokeable hemp, along with Grohm'Tahl's honey, mead, and smoked meats.

Dne revels in his new power of darkvision!  Now, if only there were some bugs he could hunt...

In reply to Dne Utrotare (msg # 629):

Brunhilda also has some injuries, and would take as many potions as we're needed to heal her...
