Welcome to Gaia! ::

~ Papa blinks as the fire is behind him. He checks his body for burns. He then moves forward. Seeing the shadow pony he stops and looks around. I have a bad feeling ~

RNG 1-20

The flower comes free of the ground easily and abruptly the snow melts, though instead of melting into the ground, the water spreads and before you know it, there's water surrounding you and it's getting deeper. Soon it will be lapping at your feet.
Do you
Dive into the water
or
stay put and hope the water stops rising


The pony lunges for you, only to vanish into smoke. You cough as it passes over you and you find yourself standing in a charred forest. The fire is gone at least. With the path ahead clear, you walk forward through charred and smoking trees until you find a small clearing, little more than blackened brambles. In the middle of them is a single yellow bloom, the only thing around you that isn't blackened by the fire. Surely this is what you sought, but there's one bloom and two of you.
Roll 1d20 to see who manages to grab the bloom



The water is cool and seems inviting, but as soon as all feet are in the water, you sink like a stone. No amount of flailing helps you. This water might as well be air as you plummet through it, except you can't breathe it.
You black out, and when you come to again, you find yourself soaked and lying at the entrance of the swamp, safe but elimnated from the search.


You hear a 'click' as you try to pull the yellow bloom out of the vase and before you can move, the floor drops out all around the table, plunging you into darkness and water below. A laugh echoes all around you before something grabs your legs and pulls you under.
When you awaken you are soaking wet, lying at the entrance to the swamp, alive but eliminated from the search.

Oh no... not this again... Echo Moon fidgeted in place, fear causing his ears to go flat. His tail, for once behaving itself (though possibly due to being cowed by the swamp), bumped his shoulder and made a faint sound. Nodding, he let the tail take the flower as he glanced at the rising water. "I humbly ask for safe passage once more." He wasn't going to risk staying put at the rate the water was rising...


(( Diving into the water, but asking for safe passage first. ))

The other pony gets ahead of you, and as they grab the flower, something else grabs you. You see the shadow pony from earlier with its grip on you and with a laugh, it engulfs you. Choking and coughing, you struggle to clear your lungs, and when you finally do you find that you stand at the entry to the swamp, a bit lung sore and eliminated from the search.


As the water closes over your head, smells of spring surround you and pedals from flowers erupt around you, blocking your vision. When your vision clears you find yourself standing outside the witches's hut.


You successfully grab the flower moments before the other pony. Smells of spring surround you and pedals from flowers erupt around you, blocking your vision. When your vision clears you find yourself standing outside the witches's hut.


The witch looks at both of you in surprise. "You're back...I mean, you're back! Congratulations on your success!" They look at the blooms you hold. "Quickly now, quickly! Smash those flowers! Grind them into the dirt!"

Roll 1d10. Final round when you have both rolled.

Yeah burning this swamp to the ground was sounding better and better by the minute. The flower power storm was not helping her mood. Oh she followed the witch’s instructions alright but she was very annoyed. “Quest completed for your satisfaction?” She looked at the kitsune and witch wanting to slap both of them but at least with this the issue would get resolved well enough.

I'd love the Kitsune please~! emotion_kirakira heart
