I excitedly go to cook one last time to make lunch before we leave. We eat lunch, more thorough conversation happens about recent events. The caravan is very interested in learning all about it. This is clearly how the news gets shared between camps. #cooking #encounters/caravans

The guard checks our paperwork and tells us to be safe out there, and sends us on our way. #encounters/guards

There is no obvious spot to put a gem on the turret. #encounters/turrets

I approach the desk. I feel two darts hit me. I make two CON saving throws and take 5 damage. It came from up north.  There is some blue light from the upper room where I can see there is a turret. I use my last shield spell but it hits me anyways as it strikes again. I take 2 more damage. #encounters/turrets

“Hello, friends, greetings! We come in peace!” I say to them. #encounters/gemeaters

I prepare Slow when they reach 120 feet. Arachne casts Beacon of Hope on everyone but Elzira cause he is too far. #encounters/umberhulk

During the fourth hour of the long rest, there is almost what sounds like [[Shrieking]]. It is inhumanly loud. #encounters/unknown

We see a caravan moving with a lot of supplies, perhaps cargo for a store. The driver from a distance waves hello at us. He seems way too enthusiastic, everyone on the caravan is exasperated. #encounters/caravans

I order a round of drinks for the group of 5. I tell them I support a group who can have such a good time so early in the morning. I get an interview with their weird organization on Friday at noon. #encounters/brainwashing #groups/synrgus

At the gate is a guard and a mechanism, presumably to open the gate from the booth. The wall is large, smooth, and difficult to climb. There are two more people sitting down in the back near the booth. They ask our business as we approach. I declare that we are problem solvers and give my name to pass on to Orna Julianna. #encounters/guards

Somebody steps up in front of the class. “Today we want to start as we always do, say it with me: Synergy. Say it with me: Synergy.” This goes on five times and I join in on the last time. I double Nat 20 a WIS save. I feel a kind of a brain fog for a moment, but it shortly passes. #clues #encounters/brainwashing #groups/synrgus

Arachne and Star look out for creatures for Twinkletoes to talk to. They see a reef shark and shout out about it. Twinkletoes casts Animal Friendship on the shark and dives in with a rope tethered. It appears to work! It swims up and boops her leg. #encounters/sea

Arachne pops up as an octopus attempting to hold two orbs and a pen. On her way up there was a rumbling for about 5-10 seconds happening in the water. It resonated her entire body. #items #clues #encounters/sea

He replies: “I can't stop, the authorities are annoying if they can catch you. I have been known as that. Nice, if you find me we'll talk.” #encounters/discothief

As we enter, the figure becomes visible wearing the robe. Underneath is brunette hair and possibly the ears of an elf. #encounters/discothief

There are now guards constantly patrolling. #encounters/guards
