Session 6
Now that the bear has been killed the party loots his hoard, finding a shit ton of treasure and grisly bear meat. The problem is, they have to talk about how to split it, and also how to actually carry it. There’s so much loot, they actually have to talk about weight.
Belladonna obvious gets most of it, because most of the rest of the part isn’t that interested in treasure (Rocks is of a prosperous culture, and Larkspur only cares about nature) They end up burying several barrels worth of gold ore rocks, with Arendir having the discern which rocks have the most gold in them.
Rocks at some point pulls Arendir to the side. They go off on a long-winded story of how they used to do a lot of shrooms when they were young, and now they think this ‘rock’ they found is actually some kind of drug rock (they thought the power of the seeing stone giving them visions was hallucinogens) So they give it to Arendir because dwarves have knowledge of rocks and stones. He realizes the power of the stone and shows it to the party, not before berating rocks for keeping to to themselves.
“In all fairness, do you really think Human Warrior can handle hallucinations? Have you met the guy?” -Rocks.
Leswen tries to use the seeing stone, but because of her player IRL poor rolls, she doesn’t see anything. Frank takes a jab at it, and by using a SICK RHYME (and his player IRL getting a good roll) not only is he able to use the seeing stone, he can use it to the extent he can actually see EXACTLY where the Munroe, evil hobbit in Laketown who put him in jail, is. He can also see he has another piece of the shard.
Much like the interrupted session from last time, they talk about the anti-poison bracelet, silver sword, and magic ring.
The bracelet is given to Leswen, the silver sword is given to Larkspur. The ring is given to Arendir by Frank. We IRL joke about how Arendir and Frank are now engaged.
The bit about Rocks showing the other hobbits a fidget spinner is a reflection of how I, their player IRL, use a spinner throughout the session for hours because my usual method stimming is crunching dice in my hand, which causes Leswens player to have over-stimulation.
Almost out of Mirkwood, they come across a shoddy camp of Goblins and Orcs. The party sans the pacifists like Leswen and Rocks decides to kill the party to get them out of the way.
Larkspur and Belladonna decide to sneak inside, they eventually get caught and a fight encounter is started. We have to work our way around poisonous briars and mushrooms in this fight.
Frank takes a rage potion that makes him super strong, but super out of control because neither his race nor class (knight) are adept at handling rage like Arendir.
We joke around how Rocks singing ‘Songs of Slaying’ is basically heavy metal death growl singing.
Larkspur has seal/cat teeth. She looks cute until she yawns, and then just sharp teeth.
Around this time, Leswen starts to show how much of a tsundere she is. The party name actually comes from Leswens player IRL calling her and Larkspur ‘super best friends.
