DM  GM, 676 posts Sun 15 Nov 2015 at 19:06	msg #7 Temple: Temple of the Mercurial Dragon"Right.  Just to keep you up, there was an explosion at the prison.  They claims a failed breakout.  Too much arguing among Rast and Grey to be true."  Lucky winks and heads off.
DM  GM, 1357 posts Fri 22 Apr 2016 at 13:28	msg #8 Temple: Temple of the Mercurial Dragon Chapter B A dwarven priest stands at attention near the entrance awaiting visitors to the temple.  He spots Karon, Malgrom, Vun, Derrik, and Aeos but says nothing, staying at attention.
Karon  player, 292 posts  Hobgoblin Manhunter  AC 23 HP 54 F+7 R+9 W+4 Fri 22 Apr 2016 at 15:00	msg #9 Temple: Temple of the Mercurial DragonKaron sports minor cuts and abrasions. Malgrom and Derrick both took major blows in the fight thay have not yet been treated. Yet In this state, they come to the Temple. Karon hands over the coin/medallion given to him and states to the Priest "Cordule said you could help. These two were wounded and contracted the skin oil from a hypnotoad. It affected them to love the toad, which still lives."
Malgrom  player, 90 posts  Hobgoblin Ranger  Known Around Town Fri 22 Apr 2016 at 15:03	msg #10 Temple: Temple of the Mercurial DragonMalgrom tries not to stare as he takes in the interior of the Temple. For as long as he had been in the city, he had yet to see the inside of the Temple. He takes a break from looking around to glance at Karon and repeat his earlier opinion, "It was a nice toad."
DM  GM, 1362 posts Fri 22 Apr 2016 at 15:08	msg #11 Temple: Temple of the Mercurial Dragon"Yes sir."  The priest stays at attention.  "We have an standing agreement with the guard to treat in advance and be compensated at a later date.  This coin is all you need present for services.  I will have a priest look at each of you."  He calls out to several others in a commanding voice.  The priests stride over and each begins to evaluate the members of the group.  Before looking over Karon the priest in charge takes the coin and places it in a pouch at his side. "What kind of toad was this?  Can you explain exactly what happened?"  The priest assessing Karon asks to anyone who wishes to answer.
Vun fain  player, 199 posts  Kitsune Scholar  Beware Everything! Sat 23 Apr 2016 at 01:54	msg #12 Temple: Temple of the Mercurial Dragon "We encountered a group of cultists as well as some oozes and a large creature looking to be a mix between a toad and a horrid lizard. Whatever substance the Toad creature excreted seemed to make the victims adore and worship the beast. I'll admit our knowledge is far from complete on this, but we have figured out that the creature if was an animal, is no longer one, as my attempts to enchant it as if it was an animal were completely ignored."  Vun made an attempt to recount what happened in detail, although he likely missed something.
Karon  player, 293 posts  Hobgoblin Manhunter  AC 23 HP 54 F+7 R+9 W+4 Sat 23 Apr 2016 at 06:31	msg #13 Temple: Temple of the Mercurial Dragon"The oozes were Tar jellies. The toad is an aberration, much like a beholder or an aboleth. Which is probably why a spell tuned to animals didn't work, Vun. It has a technical name I do not recall, but in my studies it was referred to as a hypnotoad. It spit a yellowish goo on Derrik and Malgrom. No doubt there is still some traces of it on their armors. Examining those samples might help you cure them of their enchantment" Karon adds.
DM  GM, 1365 posts Sat 23 Apr 2016 at 15:09	msg #14 Temple: Temple of the Mercurial DragonThe priest examining Malgrom takes a vial and scoops some remnants of goo from a gap in his armor.  Holding the substance up to the light all of the priests gather around to get a better look.  After several minutes of discussion they come to a consensus.  "We believe this substance has compulsory magic.  We will need to break the enchantment, but there may be some prolonged effects.  All of your injuries seem to be basic.  We can use some low intensity healing magic to help mend the wounds."  Each of the priests proceeds to weave their divine magic through the wounds of the group.  Cuts slowly close and bruises fade. "The situation with the toad seems strange.  I have heard of such mutations in the wild, but the substance the creature excretes suggests a purposeful creation through magic."
Malgrom  player, 91 posts  Hobgoblin Ranger  Known Around Town Sun 24 Apr 2016 at 21:03	msg #15 Temple: Temple of the Mercurial DragonMalgrom scratches his head, feeling a little unsure what all the fuss is about.
Aeos Foldstone  proprietor, 414 posts  Proprietor: Black Liquor  In libris libertas Mon 25 Apr 2016 at 06:32	msg #16 Re: Temple: Temple of the Mercurial Dragon Priest of the Mercurial Dragon: "The situation with the toad seems strange.  I have heard of such mutations in the wild, but the substance the creature excretes suggests a purposeful creation through magic." "It bears investigation. There are many things I can not explain happening in Valarez, and this... glorious toad is a good subject to track down." Aeos looks at Flynn and begins to think what measures could be taken.
Karon  player, 295 posts  Hobgoblin Manhunter  AC 23 HP 54 F+7 R+9 W+4 Mon 25 Apr 2016 at 19:35	msg #17 Re: Temple: Temple of the Mercurial Dragon"The toad fled down the passageway after I wounded it. So we will likely encounter it again. Can you recommend anything like an antitoxin that might provide us some measure of protection from this psychotropic substance?" Karon asks as his physical wounds heal over.
DM  GM, 1375 posts Mon 25 Apr 2016 at 19:40	msg #18 Re: Temple: Temple of the Mercurial Dragon"We can provide an antitoxin that will help to resist the effects, but it is not a guaranteed solution.  The guard's agreement does not cover the cost of this though, you would need to donate extra to acquire the antitoxin." The priests finish up healing injuries and turn their attentions to breaking the effect the toad has over Malgrom and Derrik.  They begin to chant together forming a circle around the two adventurers.  The verbal components to the spell are chanted in unison until the spell is completed and the circle is broken. With their business completed at the temple the group may finish their conversation and then head back to O'Malley's to locate Harsk.
Karon  player, 296 posts  Hobgoblin Manhunter  AC 23 HP 54 F+7 R+9 W+4 Mon 25 Apr 2016 at 23:03	msg #19 Re: Temple: Temple of the Mercurial DragonKaron looks at Derrik and Malgrom. "How are you two feeling? Still want to talk to Velkarah? How do you feel about...toads?"
Aeos Foldstone  proprietor, 415 posts  Proprietor: Black Liquor  In libris libertas Mon 25 Apr 2016 at 23:16	msg #20 Re: Temple: Temple of the Mercurial Dragon"Gentlemen, I will take Flynn, I know an apothecary, perhaps he can determine some element or clue as to the mutation of this toad. I will need a sample." Aeos will ask for a small vial and collect some of the liquid from Flynn or from whomever has the substance still on them.
Malgrom  player, 92 posts  Hobgoblin Ranger  Known Around Town Tue 26 Apr 2016 at 02:46	msg #21 Re: Temple: Temple of the Mercurial DragonMalgrom scratches his head and looks slightly confused. He responds in a slightly dazed voice, "Well....I still like toads, but have a vague feeling that big nasty one was making me act like a giant idiot."
Karon  player, 297 posts  Hobgoblin Manhunter  AC 23 HP 54 F+7 R+9 W+4 Tue 26 Apr 2016 at 16:22	msg #22 Re: Temple: Temple of the Mercurial DragonBefore leaving, Karon inquires as to what the donation cost of the antitoxin might run to? Perhaps 50 gold each?
DM  GM, 1377 posts Tue 26 Apr 2016 at 23:48	msg #23 Re: Temple: Temple of the Mercurial DragonOne of the priests hands Aeos a vial of goo.  "We no longer have a need for it." The priest in charge nods to Karon.  "Fifty would be appreciated.  It does take gold to keep the temple running.  How much antitoxin do you need?  We have some on hand.  A larger quantity would require us to create more."
Karon  player, 298 posts  Hobgoblin Manhunter  AC 23 HP 54 F+7 R+9 W+4 Tue 26 Apr 2016 at 23:52	msg #24 Re: Temple: Temple of the Mercurial Dragon"Four. One for each of us. How long will the antitoxin last?"
DM  GM, 1382 posts Wed 27 Apr 2016 at 01:19	msg #25 Re: Temple: Temple of the Mercurial Dragon"It depends on the person.  Typically around one hour after drinking."  The priest sends someone to fetch four vials.  He returns shortly with the antitoxin in hand.
Karon  player, 299 posts  Hobgoblin Manhunter  AC 23 HP 54 F+7 R+9 W+4 Wed 27 Apr 2016 at 02:23	msg #26 Re: Temple: Temple of the Mercurial DragonKaron reaches into his pack, and counts out 200 gold. After a moment, he asks for a receipt. He explains to the others "Harsk might reimburse expenses incurred. You never know."
Malgrom  player, 93 posts  Hobgoblin Ranger  Known Around Town Wed 27 Apr 2016 at 19:48	msg #27 Re: Temple: Temple of the Mercurial DragonMalgrom nods to Karon and says, "I can reimburse you for that now or later if you want to see if Harsk will cover it. Should we resupply or rest up before heading down again?"
Karon  player, 300 posts  Hobgoblin Manhunter  AC 23 HP 54 F+7 R+9 W+4 Wed 27 Apr 2016 at 19:52	msg #28 Re: Temple: Temple of the Mercurial Dragon"Hold off on repaying me for now. Yes, resupply for a dungeon delve if you need to. I still intend to ask Velkarah if the thing likely has any weaknesses, if you want to join me." Karon says.
DM  GM, 1384 posts Wed 27 Apr 2016 at 23:27	msg #29 Re: Temple: Temple of the Mercurial DragonThe priest accepts the donation and asks if you need directions to the other shop you had mentioned.  He doesn't know it but is sure one of the other priests will.
Karon  player, 301 posts  Hobgoblin Manhunter  AC 23 HP 54 F+7 R+9 W+4 Wed 27 Apr 2016 at 23:29	msg #30 Re: Temple: Temple of the Mercurial DragonKaron accepts 4 vials of Antitoxin, and passes one to each member of his crew. OOC: Did Karon get his receipt?
DM  GM, 1401 posts Mon 2 May 2016 at 19:08	msg #31 Re: Temple: Temple of the Mercurial DragonOops, sorry.  Yes, Karon gets a hand written receipt from the head priest.
