Chapter 11 by hotenhornay hotenhornay

Time to move out

Let's nab a seamstress

Shifting my weight to displace Elora from my lap, I set out to expand my harem. I grab my trusty axe and a few Mother's Love leaves -- I should look into getting a satchel of some sort -- and march forth, eager to ravage my unsuspecting prey. As I reach the mouth of the cave, I take a deep sniff to see if my quarry is within range. Lifting my nose to the crisp air, I attempt to sniff out a group of three elves (ranger advantage, sniff test, 1d20, 14 v. 12 or 5 v. 12, success) and catch the slightest whiff of them at the 300 ft periphery. Marching directly towards them, I take the opportunity to peruse my surroundings on my way there.

I pass a few dragonberry bushes but decide against picking any for now; I have much sweeter fruit to enjoy. Placing a hand against one of the towering trees that line the forest, I notice an inch-thick ivy-like plant winding itself along the trunk. Grasping the corded vine in one hand, I yank almost fruitlessly at the plant.

Syl'anor Creeper is a common growth in the Syl'anor Forest. Both quick and hardy, it can grow up to 10 feet in a day. Elven folklore suggests the Creeper is the primary cause for missing juveniles, its overgrowth trapping any foolish enough to sleep unguarded in the Forest.

Well, that's ominous. But hey, if it's strong enough to capture elves on its own, it's strong enough to be my new source of rope. Giving it another yank (Land Lore: Forests strength bonus, 4+2 v. 7, fail), I barely make the thing budge. Stubborn bastard. I bring out my axe and swing at the base of the vine (Land Lore: Forests strength bonus, 10+2 v. 5, success) and sever it from the ground. With a final yank (Land Lore: Forests strength bonus, unrooted debuff, 17+2 v. 7-2, success), I secure a length of Creeper vine about 30 feet in length. Spooling it about my forearm, I create a loop of vine that I'll carry on my left shoulder. I should start developing some traps around the mouth of the cave; the weak bitches who fall there will be the lowest level of ****.

Picking up the scent again, I sally forth, eager to meet and beat my new elven conquests.
