[QUOTE="CPaladin, post: 8639669, member: 7030144"] [Session 48, cont'd] 8 Chund (Hex 745, 344) 9 Chund (Hex 746, 345) 10 Chund (Hex 746, 346) After a few days of uneventful travel, they approach a large tree reaching out of the water, with branches weeping down around it. Under it are a bunch of mounds of moss. They also see what looks to be the corpse of a mule-sized reptile. They are not certain that it is dead, though—the membranes on its eyes still seem to open and close periodically. Merreep calls out, “Hello!” They eyes definitely move and look at her. “Why?” “Why what?” “Where?” Runor joins in. “Who? Which?” “The tree.” They eyes look up at the weeping tree above it. “Beware!” “About what? The tree?” “The tree. Beware here.” Merreep says, “Are you in pain? You don’t look like you should be able to talk.” “The tree does not permit any to pass.” After a little more discussion, they confirm that it means that it can’t die near the tree. They make a lasso, and throw it over to the reptile thing. They pull it away from the tree, which roars and throws a barrage of small sharp seeds in their direction. They slowly but steadily drage the lizard thing out of the root system, where little roots keep grabbing up at it, trying to pull it back in. They pull it out. Runor heals it so its wounds will close, but it’s missing one leg. “Thank you. Thank you. You do not know... That thing is so vicious. My tribe was angry with me, so they brought me there and sacrificed me to it. I must offer you something in repayment. Thankful I am. I know this area. I can give you information, tell you what tribes there are, and where to avoid the great ram.” Runor is shocked to find out that it doesn’t know what a dwarf is, and asks about legends that it might have heard about. It doesn’t recognize the story, but it knows what giants are—there are swamp giants farther south, though not around here. They are very dangerous. It does recognize the elves as looking like Makers. Some discussion makes it clear that the Makers were the ancient elves. It asks whether Aleep is one of the froglocks that follow the Worm that Bores Beneath, but he explains that he doesn’t. Runor regales the lizardperson, Amet’alox, with tales of Glordiadel. “I am in your debt, though my tribe, the Long Arms, are not, because they cast me into the great tree.” They ask if Amet’alox would like to accompany them. He agrees. They find a small normal tree, and make him crutches and a peg-leg of sorts. [End Session 48. There will be a gap of another couple weeks before the next post.] [/QUOTE]
