Welcome to Gaia! ::

Task four- rolling, rolling, rolling
19: You find an herb known for its curative properties on your way to your safe spot. You take a break to eat some and recoup. Heal 5 HP.

Sheltered paused, noticing a plant from Corrosives lectures on things you should know. He nudged the sand dog into laying down for a rest before taking a mouthful of leaves, chewing on the herb slowly to help recover some energy.

You travel with your charge 5 units. You help bear its weight or alleviate its pain as you travel, gaining 3 trust.

Sheltered helped the sand dog walk along a steeper path, helping bear the slight animals weight so she did could favor her leg. Close, just a bit farther along.

Sheltered traveled, wandered knowing he would find her when he was suppose to. Eventually it became familiar, the winding streams, the smell of herbs and flowers, and a neat olive tone doe that looked at him with dark knowing eyes.

Corrosive grinned sharply, eyes gleaming. "Hey, Sheltered, what brought you here?" She tipped her head, the curling horns wide and heavy.

"I need some help." He said and listened as Corrosive started to speak, bringing up points and plants, watched her motion to them and found himself leaving, without any of the herbs or plants spoke but knowing he needed to find them.

-to the barrier- Part 5

There was a large barrier. It was huge and sprawling and sharped thorn and it was between him and where he needed to go. Sheltered blinked at it, thinking about how to get through it.

How? Frowned and shifted, kicking out at the thorn wall.

Sheltered guess he should try to chew through it even if it was rough on his mouth.

Maybe it was frustration or anger or just, he wanted to finish this. His mouth was bloody and he was nearly through. He wanted to heal the sand dog.

The Curing - Mechanics

Roll 2d10 and compare your results to the table below. Once you succeed, you are done, and you must follow the end prompt and the wake up prompt to conclude your adventure. Fill out your posts!

Your character must gain 30 progress points to finish constructing the cure. Once they've administered it, describe what it is and how it helps - then describe your kin waking up to realize it was all a dream.

The first die represents the amount of progress points you gain on that turn.
The second die represents additional effects as follows.
1. The animal observes you, and seems to like what it sees you doing. +3 trust
2. The animal seems spooked by a smell or a sound that you make unintentionally as you work. -2 trust
3. Ouch! You've hurt yourself in your haste. -3 HP
4. You hum as you work. The animal seems pleased. +1 trust
5. Maybe it's the scent of whatever you're working on, or maybe it's the relief of being in your safe space again...you're relaxed enough that your muscles seem significantly less fatigued. +5 HP
6. The animal bites you playfully as you work, but its injury has made it unsure of its own strength, and it bites harder than it intends. -1 HP
7. The animal seems almost familiar with what you're doing. It can't really help, but its esteem of you has grown. +3 trust
8. You need to retrieve something behind the animal, and you move to do so. In response, it swings around, intimidated. -2 trust
9. You work slowly and methodically, leaving the animal to its own devices. +1 trust
10. After working a bit, you step back and allow the animal to approach and examine your work more closely. +2 trust


Kin who wake up having successfully completed the dream will find that wild animals seem to trust them a little more on instinct for the next two days. They won't necessarily be friendly with your kin but they'll be less wary of them. Obviously, however, if your kin proceeds to attack the animal, that trust will be broken and the animal will react as normal.
