Episode 74: Roots Between Worlds

Bells Hells, in seeking answers surrounding Ashton’s history, and possible opportunities to prepare themselves better for the coming showdown with the Ruby Vanguard, you find yourselves in the Shattered Teeth, a collection of islands left in the destruction of the once continent Domunas. Here, you’ve gone onto a ghost ship to find passage to the island of Kalutha. Upon taking this journey across the sea with them, you helped bring a long separate romance you helped bring a long separate romance to a singular unit between the captain and their navigator. You had a celebration, and then were dropped off rather rapidly on the outskirts of the island you seek.
As you perused the black pebble beaches, you found a couple of caverns, one that led up to the actual clifftop surface of the island itself for a better view. Upon clambering through the caverns, a sight was missed on one of the creatures that apparently called it home, and you did a battle with a terrifying massive worm creature that was intent on making you its next meal.
Surviving the encounter, destroying the creature, and gathering a few odd objects from its nest that gave you some clues as to the denizens of this island, you clambered out to the surface, where you could see the mist shrouded island stretched out before you. Not as dense as the central sea, and the previous island you had ventured towards, but still somewhat obscured by the shifting fog but still somewhat obscured by the shifting fog that seems to blow with the wind over the stretching jungles and rainforest before you. The mounting massive shadows of the three mountains that mark a central portion of this region of the island, seemingly a signifier of your destination.
So, Bells Hells, having taken a short rest, stepping up into the late morning midday obscured sun, the disparate disseminated fog filled daylight that gives some visual perspective on the path before you, what would you like to do?

    The shadow gnomes that did the necrotic damage definitely remind me of a Ghibli creature. I’m thinking Mononoke Hime.

    The recent sponsorship from Mortal Kombat 1 is with Warner Bros, the studio behind the Barbie movie. I have a plan for a character based on “Weird Barbie” as a Wild Magic user.
