His heart drops even further as he realizes it's [i]worse this time.[/i] His leaves are gone, and so is his satchel. His [i]satchel[/i]. All of his supplies, [i]gone[/i]. Epiphany is in the same dilemma. Aeon is... not. Nettle isn't sure how to confront that information. "I'm going to... to follow the trail," he decides, putting the Aeon revelation off for [i]later[/i]. "Maybe it wasn't washed away- maybe there's kelp, too..." He trails into muttering, planning his next leaf-hunt to himself as he wanders towards the tidepools. (@Autumnfall123 would it be possible to investigate around the pools where the trail leads and see if anything can be found?)

The first few he finds don't seem to have his items, but vague dark shapes at the bottom of one could be Epiphany's items. He follows the trail to a further tidepool, discovering his items with the giveaway of a few leaves floating on the surface. There are a few dragons nearby and more coming from the cliff-wall hotel by the moment. At present, the nearest dragons were in far tidepools, but the newcomers could very well enter the tidepools containing Nettle's and Epiphany's items if Nettle didn't hurry.

Leaves- not seagrass or random ocean-plant leaves, [i]his leaves.[/i] Already becoming waterlogged and sinking below the surface to join the rest of his stuff, though. ... It looks like Nettle isn't done swimming. But first, he whips around to wave his short arms in the air at his companions. "EPIPHANY," he calls in a jubilant rush, "YOUR THINGS MIGHT BE HERE- UM, JUST A LITTLE UNDERWATER."

To his horror, he couldn't find it [i]anywhere[/i]. He dug through the sand, only to come up with nothing. He started to hyperventilate until Nettle's voice finally broke through his panic. [i]Spoon![/i] Epiphany followed Nettle's voice to the tidepools. (@AutumnFall123 Action to try and retrieve Epiphany's spoon and possibly other stuff?)

He first reaches in to recover a leaf still floating on the surface, pulling it safely to land. [i]You're safe now.[/i] The rest won't be so easy. With a swallow, Nettle steps up to the edge of the tidepool and begins the hunt. (@/Autumn hello could I also attempt to retrieve whatever possible?)

They look at each other, count down, and slip into the water. [center][emoji=d20 size=1] Epiphany's Luck: 4 out of 20[/center] Epiphany forgets to plug his nose before plunging in, and is forced to return to the edge of the pool so he can cough and choke out the water.

The two swim deeper in their tidepools... [center][emoji=d20 size=1]Luck: 15 out of 20[/center] ...with little to no trouble and are able to retrieve all of their things.

He deposits them on the shore with wide eyes, shuffling through his items until he's [i]sure[/i] everything is there. He can hear Epiphany doing a similar scramble nearby. Thank the Gladekeeper. Oh, and the Stormcatcher, since this is his domain and probably his mercy. Nettle spreads the leaves out in a line in the sun, waiting anxiously for them to dry and firm up a bit before he can wrap himself up in them again. And his [i]poor[/i] satchel. The knife is really the only thing he owns that isn't now a sopping mess. Nettle finishes spreading his things out in the sun and then collapses a bit dramatically next to the display. "Did you get everything?" he asks Epiphany in a grumble, exhausted. But he can't shut down. Not with a party to keep together.

"Oh, hell", he said as he pulled his waterlogged stuffed animal from the water. Buffy would need to sit in the sun for hours after this because she, uh, looked like a wet, sloppy rag. Epiphany gathered his items close as he turned to the shoreline. Nettle had retrieved his own items while Aeon simply watched on from the distance. It was highly suspicious how she hadn't lost a single thing. Epiphany pulls his stuff even closer to him. "I got everything. I just hope Buffy will be alright." Epiphany frowned. This trip had really sucked. [i]Really[/i] sucked. This was not the first time Epiphany thought this, and it was certainly not the last.

[center][img]https://i.ibb.co/0t1YZq1/Game-1.png[/img][/center] [Center][Size=7][b][u]~Final Night~[/u][/b][/size] @pinglist-30155 / @pinglist-30170 [Size=6][u]~Chapter Summary~[/u][/size][/center] [quote="Story Progression"] As Nettle and Epiphany returned to their makeshift camp with soggy items in tow, they discovered the very obvious absence of one of their party members. "Where did she go?" Nettle asked quietly, partly speaking aloud and partly asking Epiphany. The tiny veilspun raised his shin in the air and marched forward, making a bit of a show at his pretend searching for Aeon. "Well! It looks like she [I]finally[/I] took her leave!" Nettle glanced at Epiphany in slight confusion as he began to lay his flora on his body once again, relaxing as each strand and leaf went in place. He'd wanted to let them dry on the sand, but Nettle didn't trust the hyper crowd of dragons that was starting to gather around the tidepools. "What do you mean? You think she wanted to leave?" Epiphany turned back to Nettle while hugging his emotional support spoon. "Maybe! Maybe not! But it only makes sense that she's been causing all these problems. First she ate all the sour kelp, then she caught the ship on fire and [I]now[/I] she tossed out stuff in the water! But her stuff was safe. Hmph! Serves her right, leaving without a word. I never want to see her face again!" At the end of his rant, Epiphany fluttered up onto Nettle's shoulder as Nettle began walking along the beach, hoping to see someone who could give directions to them. Or rather, who they could ask. Nettle had had enough of other dragons for a lifetime, but he had made a friend along the way. Maybe having a friend wasn't so bad. "Hey, Epiphany? If it was her all along, who tried to- y'know, uh, kill her? That night?" Epiphany thought for a few moments before shrugging rather pettily. "Maybe she lied about that too. We're better on our own." Nettle wasn't so certain, but he couldn't argue. It [I]did[/I] make sense. This adventure was exhausting for Nettle, who just wanted to get home. "Maybe you're right. Uh... Do you need to go anywhere, or something? If you need somewhere to stay, you could stay with me for a bit, maybe?" "Welllll...." Epiphany grinned at the wonderful idea. The bestest idea! "That sounds perfect!" He would get a break from his parents yet! And so, the pair made their way to Nettle's clan, the last remaining characters of their party enjoying the peace of the gardens. Until Epiphany's parents came to get him, at least. They were [I]not happy in the slightest.[I] [/quote] ----- Tl;dr: [LIST] [*] Aeon eloped with herself [*] Epiphany and Nettle walked into the sunset together.
