Day 8: alt. Electrocution

Eliot being tortured with a shock collar as a cheeky little bonus for Day 8

Ficlet below the cut

“Move and we shoot.”

The voice was nearly as cold as the barrel of the gun pressed against Harry’s head.

Eliot froze.

He was several metres away, where he had guided the fight to keep Harry out of it.

And now he was too far away to get to him, to do his thing and make this guy with a gun go away.

“Frank,” Eliot didn’t growl, but his voice was hard and even more threatening than this Frank guy with a gun’s was, “Let ‘im go.”

“You don’t get to make demands here, Spencer,” Frank replied, “Now stay still.  You know I won’t hesitate.”

Eliot glared, but he obeyed, staying perfectly motionless with his eyes on Harry.

Of the four other goons who had attacked them, two were unconscious, and one had blood pouring liberally from his nose. The remaining one, apparently following some signal from this Frank guy, moved closer to Eliot, smirking when his adversary did nothing but glare.

"Right ear," Frank said, "Comm unit. Take it out and smash it."

The gun shoved against Harry's head.

"You too, Wilson."

Harry slowly raised his hand, extracted the earbud and held it out. Frank took it, dropped it, and stamped, presumably crushing the comm as thoroughly as the other hitter had crushed Eliot's a short distance away.

"Phone," Frank demanded, and as he accepted Harry's phone, instructed his colleague, "Check him for phone and weapons. Spencer usually has a knife or two stashed somewhere."

And Eliot did.

As Harry watched, still held in place by the gun to his head, the other hitter retrieved a pocket knife, a multitool and too throwing knives from Eliot, as well as his phone. He tossed all this away, shot the phone with a loud crack that made Harry jump and Frank laugh.

By now, one of the others had woken up and the nosebleed of the other guy had been stemmed enough for him to get involved, which he did with evident relish.

"Get the collar on him," Frank ordered, the hand not holding the gun coming to grip Harry's arm, twisting it up behind him, "Watch closely, Wilson. This is the fun bit."

As if Harry had a choice but to watch.

Eliot remained fixed in place, his attention on Frank and Harry, as two of the other men roughly fixed a rigid collar around his neck, yanking his hair out the way and making a point of briefly choking him as they pulled the contraption on. And, it was a contraption. Not just a collar. There was a box on one side of it with a little red light.

Smacking Eliot unnecessarily on the back of the head as they finished, the other hitters stepped back, one pulled out his phone, and then, suddenly, Eliot tensed, teeth gritting, and dropped to his knees, as the collar light turned blue.

Harry instinctively made a move like he might run forward, try to help, but the grip on his arm grew tighter and more painful and the gun knocked against his head.

"Shock collar," Frank said with a smile as the light turned red and Eliot was left breathing heavily on the floor, "Made special just for Spencer."

The light went on again, longer, bringing Eliot all the way to the floor.

"Do exactly as your told, or we'll see how long it takes for that thing to kill him."

With those words, the gun was removed, but almost immediately, there was darkness. A rough, imperfect, darkness. A bag thrown over his head, and two strong forms on either side were half-dragging Harry away.

Out of the building, into a vehicle, the same guys who had been dragging him pressed close on either side.

They didn't drive for very long - not more than an hour, but long enough and with enough turns that it wouldn't be easy for the others to track them from their last location. And they had to be on the way by now. Hardison and Breanna would have used the earbud GPS before they were destroyed, or maybe be tracking their phones.

There would be a Brick and Basil truck en route to where they had just been, and hopefully soon after to wherever they were going now.

When they finally stopped, Harry was manhandled once more, bringing him across a hard floor, into another building, an elevator, and then, at last, into a wooden chair.

The bag was whipped off, and across from him, behind a large, fake mahogany desk, was a man he knew perfectly well.

"Austin," Harry greeted, adopting the false pleasantry he always did with clients, "I'd love to say it was a pleasure, but..."

He nodded to the goons stood either side, taking that motion as a chance to look for Eliot.

Not in this room. A small office with two doors, the desk, some chairs, a mini fridge, and a large conference TV screen.

A bit of a downgrade from this former client's upmarket business address with its tropical fish tank and wet bar.

"Harry Wilson," the man smiled coldly, "You're a hard man to find."

Harry shrugged noncommittally, "What do you want, Austin?"

"I need you to do a job for me. I have a certain legal matter that needs taking care of, and the lawyer I had hired is, quite frankly, not worth the air he breaths. I need you to make an airtight case for me and present it in court," he pushed a pile of documents across the desk, "Everything you need is here. You have three days. This office..."

"No," Harry cut him off. He had worked for this guy before. He had helped him cover his tracks after he destroyed the lives of several of his workers and interns, leading to the suicide of one. This man was one of the long list of regrets burdening Harry's mind. He was two bullet points on the redemption list.

Harry would not work for him again.

"I expected you may say that," Austin stood, walked around the desk towards the screen. The goons rotated Harry's chair, forcing him to turn to watch.

"That's why I have invested in this incentive."

He used a small remote to turn the screen on, and after a second of blackness, a video feed was displayed, showing Eliot with his hands handcuffed to a metal loop fixed to the floor. It looked like a basement, but it was difficult to tell.

Austin pulled out his phone, and a few seconds later, that collar glowed blue again, electrocuting Eliot as he knelt chained to the floor.

And not just a short warning. It didn't stop. Austin wasn't going to stop unless-

"Okay!" Harry yelled, and the collar turned red, leaving Eliot unmoving on the floor, "Okay. I'll do it."

Austin smiled, "Good man. Now, as I was saying, those are the files. There's paper, pens and so on in the desk drawers. Water and food in the fridge. Bathroom through that door. You have three days."

He moved towards the door, the goons following.

"Oh, and if you fail to deliver..."

On the screen, Eliot was subjected to another shock, his body tensing, but nothing more. Harry wasn't even sure he was conscious.

"These gentlemen," Austin nodded to the goons, "Will wait outside. Their colleagues will be with Spencer."

He left, the door was locked, and the screen was left turned on, Eliot still not moving.

Harry spent about an hour searching the office and bathroom for anything that could be useful to escape. Weapons, air vent...anything.

But, predictably, there was nothing. And, even if there had been something, if Harry made an attempt, there were still those other hitters with Eliot, and no way Harry could get there in time to save him.

Harry was just going to have to play along for now. Get to work, start building a case...as a last resort, he would do what Austin asked. He would pull out all the past evil lawyer tricks, hopefully then get Eliot and himself back to safety, and Leverage could deal with the aftermath.

But that was a worst case.

Hardison, Breanna, Parker and Sophie would definitely find them before that. They had three days, and a collective set of skills beyond anything Harry had known or imagined before meeting them.

Three days was more than enough time for Leverage to track people down.

Harry kept this in mind as he spent the first day, working at the case, trying to ignore the itching of his conscience.

There was one moment, towards the end of that day, that robbed Harry of all his forced focus.

He hadn’t expected to see Eliot being treated well, but without cause - Harry had been doing as he had been told - two of the hitters from before had entered the room to amuse themselves.

Harry had no way to contact anyone. He couldn’t get to Austin to convince him to make them stop, refusing to work unless they did. But he didn’t really have the leverage. They were hurting Eliot, but not killing him, and it was within Austin’s power to let them do so.

Harry watched until the hitters disappeared from view and Eliot was left unconscious on the floor, blood pooling beneath his head from the repeated blows they’d delivered to his face.

And, facing the screen so he could see when Eliot woke up, Harry turned on the desk lamp and resumed the arduous task of figuring out how to help the rich and powerful crush those they had wronged.

He had no awareness of falling asleep. At some point, near midnight, he lay his head on his arms, just to try and let his eyes rest…just a bit.

He woke to a hand on his shoulder, a whispered voice in his ear.

“Harry.”

It was Eliot, crouched beside his chair, watching him with evident concern.

The collar was still on, and in places it was shining with blood that seemed to come from Eliot's lip and cheek. The handcuffs were on, but the chain between them broken, links draping on Harry’s shoulder.

"Harry," he repeated as Harry was still registering the situation and deciding whether or not it was a dream, "You alright?"

The hand on his arm was very real. Strong and familiar. And Harry probably couldn't accurately dream the fine details of the collar that he could see now up close.

Harry broke into a smile, "Better now. You're a good person to be kidnapped with."

That drew a small laugh from the hitter, his teeth showing bloody, "Ain't my first rodeo. You good to go?”

Harry nodded and quickly began gathering up all the documents on the case - it could come in handy later.

“What’s that?” Eliot nodded to the folder.

“The reason we’re here,” Harry replied, “And better off in our hands than his.”

“Former client?”

Harry wasn’t sure how Eliot knew, but they didn’t really have time to get into that, so he just nodded and followed Eliot towards the door.

"We have an exit?"

"We're gonna make one."

"What about..."

The collar.

Eliot had stood and moved to the door already, was looking out into the corridor.

"Looks like only some of the guards can set it off," Eliot replied quietly, "Took out the four who grabbed us. Hopefully we don' run into any others, but if we do..."

He paused, looking back at Harry.

"If we do an' I'm incapacitated, you gotta run."

"I can't just leave..."

"Yeah you can," Eliot tapped his arm and moved towards the door, not allowing any further arguments.

Harry followed closely, trusting Eliot to know when to freeze and when to move, and they managed to get into a stairwell without meeting any guards. Their luck ended there, but only for a moment or two. Only for as long as it took for Eliot to disarm and knock out the three guards they met as they moved down ten flights of stairs, and out into a carport.

No one there. Cameras, but no people, and no cars.

"What now?" Harry whispered, "You know where we are?"

"No. We gotta get somewhere crowded. Somewhere with people," Eliot replied, "We can lift a phone an' call the others."

"I don't think we need to," Harry smiled as he saw a familiar set of headlights approaching from the other direction. Eliot turned and broke into his own smile, bloody toothed, but just as relieved as Harry's.

As if summoned by willpower alone, a Brick and Basil truck stopped just outside the building. Harry wouldn’t be surprised if there had been some sort of planned dramatic entrance that culminated in such a welcome and timely appearance.

But they didn’t exit immediately in a dramatic, heroic manner. They were still inside the truck, probably planning their entrance, hadn't seen Harry and Eliot, based on the various screams, gasps, and almost punch that were thrown their way when Eliot opened the back doors.

"And here we busted our asses trying to get here quick as hell," Hardison complained teasingly, grabbing Eliot into a hug as they entered, "Coulda stayed in bed."

"Everyone okay?" Sophie asked, looking them both over, "Breanna? Can we get whatever that is off Eliot?"

"On it..." she immediately began inspecting the collar, while Parker picked the handcuffs, muttering something about more lock picking practice, and keeping hold of Eliot's hand for longer than necessary.

Harry was grateful for the cup of coffee Sophie produced and shoved into his hands, ushering him into the front with her so Hardison could set off driving, getting them the hell out of there.

"Who took you?" she asked.

"Former client," Harry said, drinking the coffee down more quickly than he should, "Wanted me to do a case for him, and used Eliot as leverage."

"Someone we need to take out?" Hardison asked.

Harry considered.

The court case would probably lead to twenty five years in jail if Austin lost...the man was practically already taken out as it was. Provided he lost the case. Harry knew who the prosecution team were, he knew the case, he had more than enough information in the folder alone…

Harry smiled, "I think I will take him out myself."

And he would make sure the team, especially Eliot, were at the trial. After all, they needed The Gloat.

The Killing Dance

Warnings: captivity, restraints, torture, forced to watch, electrocution, burns, stabbing, drowning, asphyxiation,

"Whumper," Team Leader said from the chair Whumper had tied them to. They were careful not to make any eye contact with their team as they spoke with Whumper. If they did, they might lose their resolve and Team Leader couldn't lose their resolve.

"Yes, Team Leader? What is it?" Whumper said as they held a dice in one hand and a dice tower in the other.

"Forget the game and you can have me. Do everything you want to do to me. Forget the game and let my team go."

And just as Team Leader had anticipated, their team began to shout their protests from their own seats they were tied to. All Whumper did was chuckle. "But Team Leader, that is exactly the point of the game. I do get to do whatever I want. To all of you. It's all up to chance."

Team Leader couldn't let Whumper hurt the others. Whumper had to hurt them ad only them. "But--"

"Hush now, it's not your turn." Whumper turned back to Smallest Teammate. "So what do you think you'll roll?"

"What does it matter, you're going to hurt me no matter what," Smallest Teammate said with a glare.

Whumper clapped their hand to their forehead. "I forgot to explain the rules! How silly of me! Six sides of a dice, six options for what happens next. And it's all up to random chance," Whumper turned and smiled at Team Leader. "Roll the correct number and I won't hurt you. You win the round. But roll the others and well, let's just say I get to have my fun."

"This is stupid. You're going to hurt us. So why taunt us."

"The rules are simple," Whumper continued on as if Smallest Teammate hadn't said anything. "Roll a one and I get to shock you until I'm satisfied. Roll a two and I get to try out my new fire poker on you. Roll a three and we can see how many times I can stab you in one minute. Roll a four and we'll see how long it takes me to revive you after you've drowned. Roll a five and we'll see just how long you can hold your breath while I choke you. And roll a six and," Whumper smiled even bigger, "you are safe for the round."

"I'm not playing your stupid game," Smallest Teammate shook their head with each word. "I will not participate in my own torture."

Whumper frowned. "The tower rolls for you, silly. I'm not untying your hands. Any of you. I know just how lethal your hands can be. And besides," they smiled once more, "you don't get to decide if you play or not."

Whumper put the dice tower on the table in the center. "Let's see if luck is on your side, Smallest Teammate," Whumper said as they dropped the dice into the tower. Whumper grinned wickedly as the dice tumbled down. "Two. I'm so excited to break in the fire poker."

warnings: mind control, restraints, electrocution, swearing, accidentally hurting a loved one, the Joker

Summary:

@ailesswhumptober Day 18: Mind control, possession, “Everybody will end up despising you.”

Day 20 Alt 6: shock collar

Day 30 Alt 8: kidnapping

Zakiko and Damian are captured by the Joker, and he seems to be intent on bending them to his wishes.

notes: a bit of my Damiko collab fic with the lovely @ablatheringblatherskite, to whom Zakiko belongs. Zaki’s POV - Aster | Damian’s POV - Me

SORRY IF DAMIAN IS OOC I HAVEN’T WRITTEN HIM MUCH BEFORE

Damian groaned and blinked open his eyes. His head was pounding, though from a knockout blow or knockout gas he couldn’t quite remember. The very fact he couldn’t was worrisome. 

There was another groan to his side. Zakiko clenched her jaw in pain. Her head felt like it was ramming against the inside of her skull and she didn’t like it. What the hell…?

“Well, good morning, little ones. Have I got an exciting day planned for you,” a dreadfully familiar voice cackled, and Damian twisted in his restraints to see the Joker’s malicious grin directed towards him and Zakiko. 

Zakiko opened her eyes to see the clown leering at them, and she blinked several more times in slight confusion and annoyance. “A clown? Really?”

“Don’t underestimate him,” Damian told her under his breath, glaring at the villain. “He’s wreaked havoc on my family before.”

“Hmmph, is that so?” Zakiko narrowed her eyes at the clown, her wrists jerking against the restraints. She looked down at herself to see that she and Damian were trapped in strange chairs, their wrists restrained by metal clamps on the armrests. She jerked against them again, swearing as the metal dug into her skin. 

Damian narrowed his eyes at the Joker. “Just tell us what you intend and get it over with, clown.”

“Yeah,” Zakiko spat. She writhed a bit more against the clamps, straining against them and ignoring the way it dug into her wrists. “Or how about you let go of us instead?” 

She wasn’t going to waste time on this clown and immediately tried to use her Marionette-ism on him, willing his body to transform like countless people have before at the hands of her abilities. But nothing happened. Her eyes widened in confusion and horror and she tried again, but when nothing happened, she spun her head around to look at Damian in panic. “Damian—my powers. They aren’t working.”

“What?!” he hissed. “What do you mean, they aren’t working?? You’re not the kind to get some kind of maintenance error.”

“I know!” she hissed back, trying to activate her abilities again. But none of them were working. “And these aren’t made of Sea Stone…” She turned to glare at the Joker with wide, angry eyes. “What did you do!?”

He laughed at her, walking in a figure eight around his two captives. “No powers in Gotham! It wouldn’t be fair to those of us without, now, would it?” He waggled a finger at her reprimandingly.

She growled and tried to bite his finger, but he pulled it away and booped her on the nose before dancing out of reach.

“I come bearing gifts!” He reached into a box and took out two black collars, fastening one around Damian’s neck despite his struggles, then going over to Zakiko. “Now, now, no more of that, kiddo. Uncle Joker just wants to give you nice stuff!” 

“No, don’t you dare touch me! Leave him alone! You little—” The collar clicked around her neck, and he patted her on the head. 

“There we go. You two look so pretty in your matching trinkets. It must be twu wuv.” He cackled again, unlocking their restraints. 

The first thing Damian did was lunge for the neck. 

His fingers were almost brushing Joker’s skin when pain erupted across his body and he dropped to the ground, screaming. 

“Hey!” Zakiko tried to lunge at him as well, aiming a kick to the chest, only for her to collapse to the ground screaming and spasming as well.

Damian clawed his way towards her as the lightning faded, breathing hard. “Stay… away… from my girlfriend.”

The Joker gasped comically. “How chivalrous. But chivalry is dead. And if you don’t sit back down like good little blades, you know what else will be.” He danced around, waving the collars’ remote at them. 

Zakiko’s screams stopped as her spasming ceased. Her muscles, her skin, her bones—everything hurt. She looked towards Damian, scanning his body worriedly. “Are—are you okay?” 

“I’m… fine. He won’t be.” Damian glared up at the Joker, pushing himself to stand and return to his chair. 

Staggering to her feet, Zakiko glared at the Joker murderously. “What do you want with us, shithead?”

“Simply put, I want you two to break.” His eyes glinted sinisterly. “I’ve had my fun with two other Robins. This one will be a fun challenge.”

Damian scoffed. “Unlikely. My brothers’ training, while adequate, is nowhere close to mine.”

“And I’m not so easily broken either.” She smirked at him as she sat back down too, crossing her arms. “I’m a Roronoa. It’s gonna take a bit more than a few little zaps to make me crack.” Damian matched her smirk. Joker was going to get much more than he bargained for with Zakiko. 

“So maybe it'll be in your best interest to free us both before we both kill you horribly,” she finished with a grin.

“And slowly,” Damian added. “Very, very slowly.” The clown had brought enough dishonour to his family, and punishment was long overdue. 

The Joker smiled indulgently. “How sweet. Look at you two. United in murder. Awwww.”

Zakiko simply lifted her hand and made a very rude gesture. Damian had to resist the urge to let his own smile show on his face.

The Joker paced towards Zakiko, twirling the remote in his palm. “Don’t you wanna know what those pretty collars are for? Aside from decoration and those little zaps.”

She narrowed her eyes. “I’m guessing not fashion?”

“Clever girl. You see, I’m going to make you two my cute little puppets.” He grinned. “You simply won’t be able to escape each other, and both of you have such wonderful maiming ability!”

“Puppets?” Zakiko glanced at Damian, as if asking for help translating what he means. He shrugged back, but couldn’t help a cold feeling of dread at the words. Whatever Joker meant, it couldn’t be just dangling them from strings and waving them around.

She glanced at Joker again, raising an eyebrow. “Sorry, bud. The whole puppet schtick is already my thing, so…” She shrugged exaggeratedly with a mockingly apologetic expression.

His sinister smile deepened. “After today, it will be in more ways than one.” 

“Good luck with that.” Damian gave him a withering look. Puppeteering, turned against Zakiko? Unlikely.

She just crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes at him. “What he said.”

“Why don’t we test that out?” Joker held up the remote. “Birdie, slap your girlfriend.”

Damian scowled, ready with a scathing retort, then everything went white. The next thing he knew, he was standing in front of Zakiko, a red mark visible on her cheek. 

What the fuck did I just do? He recoiled, a sick feeling roiling in his stomach. 

She was clutching her cheek, head turned to the side and eyes wide with confusion. “What the hell??” she cried, looking at him in alarm. 

“I- That wasn’t me. That wasn’t me!” But his hand was only just coming to rest, and he stumbled away from her. No. He isn’t like that anymore. He wouldn’t hurt her. He wouldn’t. He didn’t. He did. 

The guilt and panic in his eyes was clear, and Zakiko felt her anger grow. She rounded on the Joker, eyes dark. “What did you do to him!?” Damian would never hurt her. He’d never lay a hand on her like that. Right?? No, of course he wouldn’t, the clown was trying to get into their heads. 

The Joker grinned wickedly. “I’m just showing him what he can do, sweetie. Didn’t birdie find that fun at all?” Damian swallowed and shook his head frantically. Zakiko clenched her fists.

“Leave him alone.”

“Hmmm.” He made a show of thinking about it. “No. Birdie, choke her.” 

Then Damian was on his feet, pinning her to the wall, one hand wrapped around her throat. 

Zakiko’s eyes widened in horror and panic, and she gasped for air that wasn’t there. She scrabbled at his hand desperately. “AGH—!”

Her feet kicked uselessly against him. He was stronger than her. She couldn’t deny that. They’d sparred enough, and more often than not she’d end up with her face flat against the mat. And without her powers, he had the clear upper hand. She clawed at his hands desperately, choking and gasping, and her eyes beginning to water. “DAMI—!” But he wouldn’t relent, his grip like iron around her neck. 

“Okay, that’s enough for now.” At the command, he let go of her. 

Damian blinked and Zakiko was bent over, gasping for breath. “Zi?” His voice had an uncharacteristic waver to it, and he backed away, his hands starting to shake too.

Her vision was slightly blurry as she clutched her neck, coughing and wheezing. She looked up at him wordlessly, trying to catch her breath as she blinked away the tears that had formed. She had never seen him so… afraid before, and it scared her.

Nononono- His back hit the opposite wall, and he stared at her. Joker can make me do anything. He can- He can make me kill her. The realisation felt like bile rising in the back of his throat. 

Zakiko quickly hurried after him, reaching for his hands. “No, Dami. It's not you. He's—he’s controlling you somehow! Don't let him get in your head!”

He pulled away quickly — too quickly. “Stop. Just- stay away. I don’t want to hurt you again.”

She stopped, eyes wide. No, no. She glared murderously at the Joker. “I’m gonna kill you.”

Then she grabbed Damian's hands forcefully, looking at him almost angrily. “Don't you dare pull away.” 

“Zi-” He stiffened. But she wouldn’t let go, and he found himself pulling her closer. “I’m sorry,” he whispered. 

She tightened her grip, almost glaring at him. “Damn it, Dami. Apology not accepted, you idiot.” 

“But-” He looked up at her with watery eyes.

“No,” she growled. “You're mine, okay? Whether you like it or not, you little shit.” She smirks a bit, though her voice wavers just slightly. “If you're gonna be anyone's puppet, you're gonna be mine. Not his.”

Hers. He liked that idea. Damian took a shaky breath. “It is… acceptable. But- how do you explain what I just did?”

“What else?” she turned to glare at the Joker as she said this, hands tightening around Damian’s protectively. 

“Yes, yes. I must take full credit for that wonderful display. Why not do it again?” Joker grinned. 

“Wait, no-” But it was too late. Everything went black again.

AI-less Whumptober 2024 - Masterpost

Another year, another Whumptober completed! This time, using the excellent prompts from @ailesswhumptober

My posting schedle was a bit of a mess this year, with about half front-loaded to the beginning of the month so I could cross-post with Corrie Guard Appreciation Week (13 fills, Fox was having a bad time... as usual), but I did manage the full 31 prompts by the end.

Session 31 Notes

We continue our journey in the Anesh desert, fight a few worms, find Perfection, and make plans to beat up the matricidal babies in town.

Alt Title: Tremors 8 - The D&D AU

@gher-bear​ @aradow​ @telurin​ @epimetala​

On this day we continue our journey across the Anesh desert, have a nice spot of lunch just outside the valley, and then in one fell swoop, discover exactly what Perfection’s problem is along with what those mole hills all over the desert were about. Somehow our camels all survive!

We kill a few giant worms, then sneak off from the remainder to check in on the town asap. There we find the town infested by an equally unrecognizable creature with only 3 remaining townsfolk all up on their roofs.

We get on a roof as well, use message to communicate with the others and hatch a plan.

In our pause we discover these new creatures are parthenogenic, two of them hawking up whole new babies ready to fight. Lovely.

(Read More)

Over the journey across the desert, we note that Rana and Diem have practically swapped roles with Rana energetic and smiley while Diem in their Tarma guise remains quiet and stoic.

Rana tells Edea all about the meteor and the detour she has planned that the rest of us don’t know about.

First morning there are more birds in distance but hard to see in the sun. It’s a quiet morning with meat stick breakfast on the go, good and early to make the most of the last hours of good travel time.

Eventually we see mesas and get close enough to also see that it’s the lip of a large basin.

The little valley below is more green than rest

Edea’s in good mood so she tells us about the surrounding area with Pebbles interjecting.

Mostly the whole area is made up of sandstone and limestone

Natural springs dotting the landscape ahead, no visible people, though Phi spots some buildings and glimmer of water.

Rana notices the road area has been widened for more traffic very recently

Tarma-Diem is too interested in storytime to do much talking (though they aren’t nearly as expressive under the Tarma guise)

We get just over the lip to the main area of the road close enough to the cliffs for shade and stop for real food (lunch).

Tarma-Diem summons the hut for this, much to Edea’s amusement (though she also partakes of the comfort). One of us (Rana? Phi? Lingers outside the hut for a bit because looking through transparent walls at the view just isn’t the same as seeing it unfiltered.

Then...breadsticks!

17 con check, I manage an hour of scribing alarm.

(”Big like hell underground monsters and they’re coming after you guys, they’re comin right now!”)

Up on camels again, we get in the valley and Phi notices a whispered thing as Tarma-Diem’s method acting fails to make them even reasonably perceptive.

Phi calls out and points at poofs of dust moving toward us but it goes away before anyone else sees it.

Phi: You guys didn’t see it?

Phi describes it as foof foof dust lol

Rana gets off the camel to perceive while feeling more connected through direct contact with the ground, but it doesn’t help. She definitely senses nothing in time to avoid getting grappled by two snake like things popping up out of the ground.

Another pair pop out near me and try to hook my camel, but Jadrie dances out of the way.

Edea stoneskins Pebbles

I stay on my camel.

Edea: Everyone stay off the ground!

I cast fly on my camel in response, it hovers about a foot off the ground and I’m able to steer it forward a little toward the rocks and away from the snakes, but not up.

Rana nature checks: These are not purple worms

Rana tries to polymorph one of the snakes into a mouse. It turns into a clinging mouse on her leg.

Rana: I have one, don’t touch it!

She tries to grab it by the tail. She nat 20 animal handles that shit to set the mouse on the ground and climb back on the camel. “One’s a mouse!”

Phi shoots at the furthest snake in front of her - one of the two that tried to snag Jadrie (since Rana said not to touch the one that’s a mouse now lol).

She does 7 dmg.

The one she shot and its nearby buddy both slink back into the ground, leaving loose earth where they were.

Phi runs the camel (east) in the opposite direction from Diem, and up another bit of rocky area but only gets animal handling of 4.

Phi’s camel gets a nat 20 on dex save when 3 pop up at her camel and it freaks out, then belatedly realizes why she was trying to make it a rock climber. Said camel manages to get up on the rock after all. One of the 3 has an arrow sticking out of it still, grasping blindly at the rocks trying to get her.

Pebbles moves himself and Edea up onto the rocks.

Ixayl’anu drives the elk toward the ones after Phi to try and take a stab at one of the worms that are still trying to get to Phi. She misses. 2nd swing hits for crit dmg 20. They all go underground.

Graboid mouse tries to bite the camel for 1 pt of damage.

Camel flings mouse away but it’s light and doesn’t take any damage, is thrown about 10-15 ft away, squeaking angrily.

Edea: “Get to the rocks!” 

Edea then casts silence on Rana’s area, just enough for Rana to get on a rock - Rana suddenly goes deaf, Edea motions her forward.

Rana rolls low on animal handling check, Rana slaps its side with spider climb and tries again.

Phi holds her action for next one’s appearance. Ixayl’anu also holds her action to the same end.

Mouse runs after last spot of sound, but freaks out just inside the silence circle and stops moving.

Whole huge graboid head comes out of the ground at Ixayl’anu.

15 to hit from Phi, it skitters off the hard armor plating of its head.

Ixayl’anu misses. Her 2nd attack succeeds - 6dmg

Creature attacks back - 16 dmg on Ixayl’anu directly, she rolls a nat 20 on her dex save. It let her go because she stabbed it. However, it does not completely retreat, withdraws only a tiny bit back.

Edea casts 5th level blight on the graboid next to Ixayl’anu. 48 pts necro dmg

It shudders and rests a little on the ground, too hurt to go under.

11 pts of eldritch blast from Tarma-Diem finishes it off, electrocuting it with prismatic lightning eldritch blast making it stiffen up and scream, shuddering and exploding all over Ixie.

Tarma-Diem to self: Dammit, I’m gonna be the one cleaning that up later…

Rana watches the mouse trying to figure out what to do. She can’t shout anything to anyone, so Rana has her fist raised to get attention while watching her mouse.

Phi is confused why Rana is looking away from the giant worm with her hand raised, but she also sees two more puffs in the distance, and Rana still has the mouse. Phi: Good job Diem! Two more over there (plus words I missed).

Tarma-Diem, nodding toward Edea: Pretty sure that was mostly Edea, but you’re welcome!

Pebbles passes his action.

Ixayl’anu charges up on her mount, Rana waving a frantic no, Ixayl’anu casts nature’s wrath, restraining the mouse in little tiny vines, Ixayl’anu sees it’s mouth opening up but doesn’t hear any of the angry squeaks. No one hear’s the mouse’s deadly anger. It is so hungry. But no one hears. No one cares. Edea has put up a censor blocking out all of its foul language.

Dex sav throw for Ixayl’anu’s elk as 3 new little guys pop up around her - 15: The elk is grappled by one, wrapped around its leg.

More vibrations are part of what Rana was trying to no no no about, to no avail.

Edea drops the silence and attempts to cast polymorph on the one on Ixayl’anu. It turns into a rat, still clinging to the elk’s leg.

I hold a toll the dead for any new emergence that has not been polymorphed: “What do we do now?!”

Edea: I think we found their problem.

Rana: What do we wanna do about the polymorphs?

Tarma-Diem: Well, Phi said there’s more out there.

Phi: Yeah, there’s more out that way (points vaguely at two spots south and east)

Rana holds erupting earth in that case.

Phi holds an arrow and then uses rat speak to say to snake ~hellooooo friend~ all menacing like.

The rat whips its head around to her and just screams at her.

Phi screams back at it.

Rana tries and fails to perceive a dirt cloud

Pebbles passes

Ixayl’anu tries to stab the rat twice since it’s still clinging to her - 8dmg, *whole worm pops up above ground* 

All held actions come into play.

Tarma-Diem: Holy shit that’s huge! *toll the dead for 12 dmg*

Rana casts erupting earth at it and does 8 dmg. Area in the 20 ft square becomes difficult terrain until cleared.

Phi shoots it, but it skitters off the head armor.

Ixayl’anu misses her 2nd swipe, the moving earth fucked it up. Ixayl’anu moves up on top a rock with her elk and bonus action casts shield of faith.

The graboid submerges in the freshly turned earth.

Mouse graboid bites at the vines and gets free. It huffs and looks at Ixayl’anu with all the fury of a no-longer-blind rage. 

Edea: If ya’ll get over here, I can hit us with pass without a trace so we can get out of here.

Rana: If you can get Diem, I’ll get Ixie and Phi - Phi get closer to Ixie!

Phi: I don’t think my camel can get there.

Rana casts pass without a trace on herself, which pops the mouse at full health above ground (concentration switched).

The submerged one notices her movements, but her camel rolls really well, notices the snake tongue and lifts it hoof up very slow, very gently sets foot back down  because Rana and camel’s goals are one now lol. Basically, that gif up at the top happens with camel toes instead of cowboy boots (yes I chose that wording on purpose. You’re welcome)

Rana slaps guidance on her camel with a pat, +4 to next dex roll as she gets in range to stealth up Ixayl’anu and Phi.

Ixayl’anu gets a 17 stealth to move closer to Rana.

Phi gets a whopping 35 stealth. Where did she go? We don’t know!

I got a 14 on my stealth, when my camel touches down it makes enough noise they both worms focus my direction. Tarma-Diem casts toll the dead on the one above ground and does 12 dmg, it dives away from them.

Rana’s head whips around, Tarma-Diem makes a shushing motion (like: I did it, but over there, away from us, keep going). Otherwise Tarma-Diem is actually taking all their cues from Edea and heading south with their camel.

("I don’t care what they’re doin, long as they’re doin it waaaay over there.”)

Edea quietly gestures us farther down the road, and falls back to be last in line. Rana takes point.

We move ahead quietly, keeping an eye out but nobody sees anything, despite Phi’s 26.

New stealth I do the worst at 14 (again). We later decide this was because I was too busy cleaning up smelly monster guck from Ixayl’anu.

We’re all distracted for the walk, except Phi, who notices disappearing cows in the distance and sends it message stone to us.

Rana is ever practical (this is literally ALL I wrote here lol - I think it’s referring to her not at all minding that they’re busy eating the cows instead of us?).

Tarma-Diem cantrip-messages back: I guess that’s why they’re leaving us alone.

Edea motions us to move a little faster as a result, seeing Phi’s motions.

Last stealth check my gentle whispers helped Jadrie get a 27 on her stealth this time around. Rana practically disappeared (nat 20). Phi got 32, Ixaylanu got 24.

Perception rolls coming into town, Rana and Tarma-Diem are too focused on sealthiness (AKA we’re too focused on looking at the ground)

Ixayl’anu notices this town is VERY quiet. (The townsfolk are wabbits?)

Phi: Woah, looks like some shit went down here…

Rana and I look around at those words and see the wreck of Perfection, blood spatters on walls, doors shoved in, buildings caving in, walkways shattered and more.

Human on roof, tries to quietly make hand gestures like what are you doing, get on a roof, off the ground (Later introduced as Lee Beck, a research student).

Edea casts wall of stone for all our mounts to theoretically keep them all safe, letting us know she’ll have to drop pass without a trace after we all get our mounts on the stone corral. 10ft high walls on either side so the mounts can get out. She concentrates for 10 minutes until it’s permanent.

Rana hung hamlet pouch off camels, phi copied that and told them to stay.

We follow rana into nearest building with door ajar and she sees a creature rummaging. Little flaps raise off the top of said creature’s head and it screams

Rana had her arms out to stop us from passing and slams the door shut.

3 thuds hit the door with echoed screams. Rana tries to hold it shut.

Phi tries to parkour up the building across the way. 22 to get up. She looks around a little from her new vantage point and sees 5 more behind her in the courtyard, other side of the building she parkoured up.

Phi lets us know and says that’s probably what that lady was motioning about, getting off the ground.

Meanwhile, one of the others on the other side of the door from Rana manages to break thru like heeeeeere’s Johnny from the shining, but can’t really open it’s mouth.

Edea reaches out and confuses it - it fails and is sitting there dazed and blocking the others.  

(”Everybody...get up on your roofs!”)

Ixayl’anu misty steps herself and rana to the roof with Phi. 

I cross to that same building and pull out my rope, make it tie off on the roof. Edea and I climb up and I slip it back into my pack as we duck down low.

2 of the original 3 scream again as they all bust through.

Their flaps raise and they scream one more time, spotting us. We got a 28 stealth from the second group on the other side of the building though, so they see nothing and don’t seem to be responding to the screams.

Rana gestures toward Tarma-Diem then the villager who was playing charades earlier. 

Tarma-Diem nods and pauses to sort out exactly what to say first about all this. 

Tarma-Diem to Charade Lady: Well...what the fuck do we do now? You can respond to this message.

Charade Lady: We don’t know they just showed up they don’t hear but big ones do, so try not to make too much noise.

I relay these messages

Rana: Why are we whispering?

Tarma-Diem: Because she also said the big ones might come back.

Through some back and forth messaging we establish that her name is Lee Beck (I don’t care where, we just do, okay?) and that we are indeed with the druid who’d been sent this way to answer a call for help. That we’ll take care of it and just need caught up to speed on everything that’s happened.

Lee Beck, together with the half orc female and male human on two other roofs (Val and Earl, respectively) drove big ones away with some explosives, staying behind to do so while the rest of the town got to safely up in the mountains, but  now they’re out of explosions and these new screaming guys just showed up.

I ask how long ago and how many. The rest of these exchanges are relayed piece meal to the group, but I didn’t record most of our chatter.

Lee: New ones are very recent, used to be only be four and we’ve counted and killed at least twice that many now.

Tarma-Diem: Where do they come from?

Lee: *exasperated* We don’t know they obvs look the same in the face but they’re different.

*We talk amongst ourselves about that, Phi suggests maybe each piece becomes a new one, maybe?*

Tarma-Diem to Lee: You’re sure when you killed them it wasn’t some sort of hydra situation?

Lee: Yeah we’re sure, the one’s we’ve killed have stayed dead.

We talk amongst ourselves again about just going for it vs. coming up with a plan, trying to figure out how many we’re up against, etc.

After much of this back and forth, Tarma-Diem to Lee: We’re gonna start a fight then over here, so if we shouldn’t...you should respond to this message.

Lee: Be careful to keep it quiet, the big ones are still around and they get smarter - learn from their mistakes, plus they’ll just wait us out, go off and eat cattle, come back.

We do a little bit more planning in response to this. We talk about whether or not we should try and lure them out of the town to avoid as much damage as possible to the remaining structures. How we’d even get out there though, whether or not we’d even make it very far or be able to draw out all of them without having to worry about attracting more of the big ones back into town.

Eventually I message Lee again asking about any better places to start the attack, stronger structures, whether or not, in her experience, she thinks luring them away from town would work.

She informs me she is just a researcher and the two guys behind her are just local handymen, but the person who lived there got swallowed whole and there’s not even a floor under our building any more. Overall though, without any more explosives, the three of them wouldn’t be of much help even if we all did gather on the same roof.

About this time, as Edea has been studying the group not occasionally shrieking at us, she gets our attention to tell us they’re parthenogenic. Two of the ones behind us had each hawked up a new baby, now smaller, but apparently just as capable as they forage around.

Tarma-Diem messages this back to Lee, just to keep her up to speed, just in case.

Lee: Lovely *she just sits down, completely done with this day*

Thursday the 28th for next session 6pm est
