Chapter 23 by AeylinFaith AeylinFaith

What's next?

[Encounter] 5 Bullywugs

The frogman had attempted to sneak up on the Mare but with both her mind and body fresh from her rest she'd managed to spot them before they could close the distance. In one swift motion, she came up off the ground, shaking the bow of her shoulder, and took aim at the first one. [Ae 12 > Bu NAT 1] [5dmg]

Her first shot strikes the creature right in the shoulder nearly taking it out with one devastating shot, it gurgles in its own language in what seems to be a warcry as the others charge. "Glrregggglglgl!"

[Bu 8 < NAT 20] Aeylin swiftly trots out of the nets way before taking another shot at the first and successfully takes it out. [Ae 20 > Bu 17, 2] Its warcry stifles as it falls to the ground.

Its brethren waste no time to take a jab at the mare [Bu 10 < Ae 12] but appear so distracted by the dwindling **** that they fail to connect. Especially as one nearly takes two hooves to the face. [Ae 9 < Bu 11] While it dodges the remaining Bullywugs toss out another net but fail to catch her. [Bu 14 < Ae 15]

[Ae 25 > 20, 5] Aeylin releases another devastating shot at the Bullywug, making it think twice about its poor life choices while the others strike again [Bu 24 > Ae NAT 1]. The tip of their spears nicks her on all sides for [5] damage.
The centauress staggers and comes crashing down on her target [Ae 15 > Bu NAT 1] trampling it into the ground to become part of a new life cycle.

The 3 remaining Bullywugs successfully toss a net at her while she comes down [Bu 21 > Ae 21] but she breaks free instantly. [Bu 13 < Ae 16] She immediately dashes over one of the creatures in an attempt to knock it prone or trample it. [Ae 12 > Bu 5] Her maneuver manages to easily topple the creature over and it manages to tuck most of its limbs out of hooves way. [2 bludgeoning] The other two jab at her flank but are unable to reach her. [7 < 16]

Now with some distance, she aims to pick up the easy target [11 > 8] and robs it of any attempt to get back up on its feet.. ever. The two remaining Bullywugs glance at one another and roar a final battlecry as they charge with their spears. "Brglglglglglgl!" [17 > 16] and pierce her with [6] dmg!

Aeylin wasn't prepared to dodge as she was about to let loose another arrow. [23 > 18, 8] and instantly downs 1 for [6 dmg]
His comrade drops its weapon and flees.

  • +363xp (4x75 +38 +25)
  • [1d4 = 4 Magic item] A pearl of water breathing.

As her final opponent flees her shoulders lower, while it could warn the tribe it was far more likely to tell her stories that would make them fear her instead of avenging their fallen brethren. She rummages through the corpses and finds a shiny pearl.. she immediately feels an effect wash over her and recognizes it as a similar sensation she had when she'd drunk the potion of water breathing. She stows it away and checks her compass, still pointing ahaid.. she continues her way after a short rest. [+6 hp]

[Event 3, Hostile territory, Swamp]

After a short walk, she discovers a swamp with several ruins of what once used to be buildings, likely the location these frogmen had come from before.. Her compass still points ahaid.. slowly she makes her way through the mud and sees a large pyramid-like structure rise from the murky dirt water. There are no signs of life but she already feels uneased, it appears she's in the middle of hostile territory causing the hairs on her neck to stand straight.
The murky water reaches to her ankles, luckily she's taller than regular humans and creatures alike so she doesn't have to worry about her upper body. She glances at her compass again.. "the temple".. she curses under her breath but presses on.
