Nothing like the smell of rotting ape corpse in the morning

Who: Newt and Everyone Who Either Commented or Is Listed in This Post
What: Searching that Monkey Compound
When: 10/7
Where: Everyone's on a D8
Warnings: Rotting monkey corpses? IDK, tag ur stuff, friendos


"Picking over the remnants of that bloody battle will prove quite advantageous, as long as you don't mind the smell. Not only did the monkeys fashion several abodes mounted in the branches of the trees in the compound, but they had quite a supply of various items on hand. For those who may have been concerned about islet over-crowding, it seems they need not worry; most of the homes remain undamaged, and aside from the strong smell of monkey, are completely habitable."

"Investigating the back of the compound will reveal a very small plot of farmland, where several rows of plants with dark green leaves can be seen growing. Anyone with a knack for identifying useful plants - or anyone who's simply willing to take one for the team and give them a taste - will soon discover that these leaves are the plants from which the monkeys drew their sedative. It makes quite a useful anesthetic in a pinch!"

"The sigil etched deeply onto the door itself will, as the Storyteller warned, be quite effective in keeping people out. The door repels any and all efforts to break through it; those sensitive to magic may note that it does indeed exude a very powerful and dense aura that makes its origins difficult to discern. One thing is clear, however: it will take a great deal more than teamwork between mortals to get through it." ( x )

[Welcome to the Mingle Log, Fam. Around you are the rotting corpses of many dead apes. There's also many items for you to lay claim to. Or you might feel like checking out those sweet sweet monkey nests. Or checking out that door. Whatever you feel like doing, leave a top level for people to pester you with. Or pester other people with top levels. The Mingle Log is your Oyster.]

I. Remains of the Day

[Jack hadn't been at the battle, if it could really be called that. He had heard it and had seen the stragglers. But being face to face with the corpses being eaten away by nature and the passing of time, the thing now feels very real, not just a surreal thing off in the background.

He finds one particularly large creature and crouches down near to it, taking a closer look, nose scrunching and mouth turn down in repulsion from the smell]

Good god [He murmurs under his breath]

II. General

[Jack can be found in the general area, poking about and examining things. He's clearly erring on the side of caution, giving things that might be dangerous or diseased a wide birth, while at times being brave enough to dig through a pile of debris.]

Were you here when all this happened? [He might turn to ask someone who passes nearby]

[Muffet nods wearily in answer to his question.]

Regrettably, yes.

[She doesn't sound devastated, but she doesn't sound very happy about it either. Just tired and sorrowful at the sheer waste.]

[Jack chews on his lower lip in thought as he looks her over, taking in her less than enthusiastic demeanor]

Would you be willing to tell me about it?

[A pause]

Of course I'd understand if you'd rather not.

[She looks thoughtfully at him, and nods.]

It's likely better for us to keep each other informed as much as we reasonably can, in case something turns out to be important in the future. What did you want to know about it, in particular?
