Try really really hard to remember how to dispel the cage

[Dustan Hache]

Turn 4: The GM loses track of time again.

Amanda bounces lightly on her feet casually And in a excited tone joy in her heart.
"I'm Amanda Loveheart nice to meet you Arnav!"

Spoiler: who is this kid? (click to show/hide)

[4] The Sylvarians don't seem sure what to do with you, but they decide you're not a threat.
"What are you doing so far from your homelands? the forest is not safe for something so young." Asks Arnav.

Tarsus isn't exactly sure what the hell a bunch of knights and himself are doing in some backwater woods, but hey, if its God's will that he does something here, It shall be done.

Follow soldiers, try to instill the love of God into these miscreants along the way

Spoiler: The word of god says nope (click to show/hide)

[1] You start to preach from your book, but someone launched a small bolt of fire which strikes the hand holding it, causing you to drop the book in surprise. You are mostly unharmed, though your hand stings a bit and you got a knight who looks ready to start bludgeoning you over the head. [-1 HP]
[4] You finally reach the fort, which opens the gate and lets you all in. you are told to get some rest after the long and tiring march, but are free to explore.

Vanessa sets upon the rock golem whilst he is relatively still sleepy. She interrogates him for any and all information she can get, especially about those demons.

Spoiler:  You keep choosing actions that don't really need to be done. (click to show/hide)

[no roll] You didn't need to, because your boss was right back on them the moment they awoken. they are discussing dreams and some sort of location.. You think you hear mentions of a place called coridem. The monsterologist is practically shaking the poor golem apart with excitement.

Try to eavesdrop on the monsters' discussion.

Spoiler: Cross game interaction gone wrong. (click to show/hide)

[5] despite having no idea what the beetle is saying half the time, you can make out from the Sylvarian side of the conversation that they are planning some sort of siege, and that the soldier plays a part in it. You've heard about wars against monsters, but you've never heard of monsters waging war back. It's rather troubling, and you get the feeling that you need to get back to base and soon.
[1(you) vs 6(them)] You turn and trip over a root, alerting them to your presence with a loud thump. The beetle turns it's attentions on you, and several sylvarians go try to block your escape before you can get back to the fort.

Wesley doesn't speak, instead just smiling. No wait.

"Home sweet home!"

Wesley continues towards the city... is he... dancing?

Spoiler: home is where your heart is. And maybe your liver. (click to show/hide)

[4] You remember the roads so easily that you might as well be dancing through the streets. You find your father's house with ease, but hesitate to open it. What if the revenge seekers are inside? they would be upon you in seconds...

Unable to sleep because of the uncomfortableness of the sand, Daji attempted to communicate with the beetle.

Using speech, then probably using the spell if voice couldn't convey his thoughts, he asked :

"You...do you have a name ?"

Spoiler: Talking with bugs. (click to show/hide)

The beetle seems confused as you simultaneously convey the concept and speak the words. Eventually, after a bit of thought, it lets out a short buzzing sound. In your head, you hear the word "No". Apparantly it doesn't have a name.[2] Neither of you can rest, though tiredness is setting in. Maybe it's because you're afraid that going to sleep at this time will kill you. Maybe your link to the beetle is suppressing your urge to sleep, as the beetles rarely do so. Whatever the cause, you remain restless. [+1 HP, +1 MP]

Try really really hard to remember how to dispel the cage

Spoiler: Setting yourself on fire again. (click to show/hide)

[6] You remember that the cage automatically dispels when you run out of mana, regardless of everything else going on. As a result, you instinctively cast the largest razzle dazzle you can.... And set yourself ablaze in the backlash.
Good news is, you're out of the cage. Bad news is, You're on fire! [!!-3 hp each turn till extinguished!!]

[Coolrune206]

Vanessa didn't trust monsters. She didn't like monsters.

But she pitied this one. Once the professor got into something, he could literally smash boulders to get to it; and in this case, that analogy might become a reality.

She quests around the exterior of the camp, on the watch for monsters.

[AbstractTraitorHero]

Amanda smiles and in a sincere and honest tone.
"I come from the village nearby and I came out here to find all the monsters and be their friends!"
Amanda tells her goal to the great sylvarians in the above speech.

[FallacyofUrist]

"Okay... time to plan a bit. Just in case. And get ready to save my father!"

Wesley heads to the nearest potions ingredients shoppe, otherwise known as an herbs shoppe, otherwise known as a boon... Once there, he gets the plains carver's head appraised, and if it's valuable but not as an alchemic ingredient, he sells it and uses the money to buy some useful ingredients. If it's useful as an alchemic ingredient, he keeps it. Also, he checks to see if his father's house's door opens inwards or outwards.

[TempAcc]

Explore the possibilities of food, you're hungry

[NRDL]

"Woah woah woah I come in pea...y'know what.  Fuck it."

Throw the quarterstaff at the beetle as a distraction, then charge in, fists swinging.

[Nakéen]

Daji ponders. Strange. He feels some...kinship toward this beetle. He explains the meaning of a name to the beetle :

"A name is what define yourself from others. For example my name is Daji Tajemal. It is the proof that I am unique and different from everyone else. Mmh...I can't call you "Beetle". What about Aradji, your name will be Aradji."

Look outside. If the surroundings seem safe, head out, looking for an oasis. Ask Aradji if he or she knows of a nearby oasis.

"Are you a male or a female ?"

[Dustan Hache]

Turn 4.1

Vanessa didn't trust monsters. She didn't like monsters.

But she pitied this one. Once the professor got into something, he could literally smash boulders to get to it; and in this case, that analogy might become a reality.

She quests around the exterior of the camp, on the watch for monsters.

Spoiler: You dig it? (click to show/hide)

[1] You go to the edge of camp, where you start acting as lookout, before something drags you into the ground. You don't even have time to scream as you emerge underground in some sort of cavern with large moles coated in plate-like stone.
[2(Them) vs 5(you)] However, the moment you can see again, you easily take the advantage of the one that dragged you down and punch it in the nose. you're fairly sure you did some major harm in doing so, because It's flailing around in a panic!
[6,2,4] one of the other moles shoves it's way between a unwary smaller mole and their flailing comrade, and gets clawed brutally for his efforts in saving them! the other one avoided harm, but can't reach you effectively.

Amanda smiles and in a sincere and honest tone.
"I come from the village nearby and I came out here to find all the monsters and be their friends!"
Amanda tells her goal to the great sylvarians in the above speech.

Spoiler: Making friends and influencing people. (click to show/hide)

[3]The other Sylvarians are a bit wary of you, but Arnav seems to trust you.
"That is good to hear, But the forest is hardly a place for you at this time. I will take you to the edge of the forest so that you will be out of harms way." He then picks you up and carries you on his shoulder. It's a bit uncomfortable considering all the twigs sticking out of said shoulder, but it's tolerable.

"Okay... time to plan a bit. Just in case. And get ready to save my father!"

Wesley heads to the nearest potions ingredients shoppe, otherwise known as an herbs shoppe, otherwise known as a boon... Once there, he gets the plains carver's head appraised, and if it's valuable but not as an alchemic ingredient, he sells it and uses the money to buy some useful ingredients. If it's useful as an alchemic ingredient, he keeps it. Also, he checks to see if his father's house's door opens inwards or outwards.

Spoiler: Don't think you can barter with me like one of those darn shopkeepers. (click to show/hide)

[3]You take the head to the shop, and while they are interested in it, they inform you that it possesses no alchemical value, and is only worth three silver at the most. Unfortunately, the ingredients Are all worth more than that, and while you do have 87 copper in your pockets, that's not enough to cover the difference.
[3]You remember that the door goes both ways, but has to be pushed open. It won't provide you with any cover if you try to go inside.

Explore the possibilities of food, you're hungry

Spoiler: Hungry? More like starved! (click to show/hide)

[6]You quickly begin rummaging through the fortress supplies, much to the annoyance of the guards. Grabbing a couple of vegetables, a bit of venison, and the bread you still had in your pack, you make a feast to eat. Some of the other soldiers seem angry, and a couple storm off, probably going to talk to the commander.

"Woah woah woah I come in pea...y'know what.  Fuck it."

Throw the quarterstaff at the beetle as a distraction, then charge in, fists swinging.

Spoiler: Player Vs GM is always !!fun!! (click to show/hide)

[6(Me, as rolled by nakeen) Vs 2(you)] You throw the quarterstaff well, but the beetle is too quick. It dodges out of the way, and then surges forward, surprising and knocking over Sylvarians as it pins you to the ground. It makes a buzzing noise that hurts your head a bit, but seems to convey words into your head. "Why are you here alone, human? Answer me, or I will extract the knowledge from you myself."

Daji ponders. Strange. He feels some...kinship toward this beetle. He explains the meaning of a name to the beetle :

"A name is what define yourself from others. For example my name is Daji Tajemal. It is the proof that I am unique and different from everyone else. Mmh...I can't call you "Beetle". What about Aradji, your name will be Aradji."

Look outside. If the surroundings seem safe, head out, looking for an oasis. Ask Aradji if he or she knows of a nearby oasis.

"Are you a male or a female ?"

Spoiler:  Don't tell me you're thinking of dating a beetle!? (click to show/hide)

[3]Neither you nor the beetle sense any danger, but you also don't see any oases nearby. Aradji seems to mull over it's new name, before answering the question as to it's gender. "I am female, though I am not of the noble brood. Why do you ask of me?"

[AbstractTraitorHero]

"......"
Amanda is quiet and thinking looking at the trees examining the Sylvan as throughly as you can without touching them.

Examine my friend! "

[Nakéen]

Spoiler:  Don't tell me you're thinking of dating a beetle!? (click to show/hide)

((Now to travel across dimensions to fetch Dr Merenio Estobari, and together we shall create a Monster Girl Elixir. Daji will then date Aradji the Aradian Beetle-Girl, and together they will fight against discrimination and for cross-species marriage laws.))

[Coolrune206]

Vanessa summons three phantom blades, and flings them rapidly at each of the three creatures.

(if RNGesus makes it so, I will laugh.)

((It would require a lot of RNGesus for that. But now, you really gave a new goal to Daji... At first when he encountered Aradians, I just thought of making him curious about monsters. But now, he will seek to understand why humans and monsters aren't so different when they can communicate...)

Upon hearing Aradji's answers, Daji himself didn't know what to answer :
"I wonder why too. Probably because I can't tell Aradian Beetles gender."

They keep walking in the sand, still not finding an oasis. A lot of questions waddle on his mind.
"Say, how was your life in the colony ? Din"t you want to return there ? And why did you accept to follow me ?"

Keeps walking in the desert, looking for a safe place.
