Her team's traipsing through the jungles of Chult, chasing down their latest lead for the Shield Guardian's amulet (since the more they can bring to bear against Acererak, the better). Liliane is paying close attention to the geography, to help with returning to where they left the rowboats, when a giant snake with a mirror for a face appears in front of her. Her hand goes to her flail, but before she can otherwise react, it's on her. She flinches, and is elsewhere.
"A whole host of creatively bad things! But, yeah, there's always people striving to go good, too."
Zerri exhales and settles her shoulders. "Yeah. They can be hard to find, but they're there." She glances around the room at the two members of her crew who are in it.
"My team usually manages. Sometimes despite themselves, we have a few... characters. I got lucky with them."
"Yeah." Small laugh. "The monk once launched himself out of a catapult. We had to go rescue him from the jungle."
"Fly, apparently. And he thought it'd cut down on walking back to the ship, but he overshot."
"Yep. And then six hours later, you're bruised and banged up, are only half way to solving your problem, and you realise it would have only taken you an hour to do it the normal way.
...not that I'm speaking from experience or anything."
"Pro tip: Don't tie a bunch of herdbeasts together, so you can 'lead them all at once,' unless you particularly like being dragged across a field, and having to spend the rest ofthe day catching them."
"That sounds like something our bard would do, more than something the monk would do. Probably with the benefit of speaking with animals, and attempting to get them to stampede so it's 'faster.'"
"Oh no. I mean, being able to speak with the would have helped? But somehow I think being able to speak with them just increases the ways you could get in trouble."
"Ehh, I guessed it was probably the second thing. Not sure how much convincing wild animals really need to act like wild animals.
Though convincing dinosaurs to do anything sounds dangerous. Potentially the fun kind of dangerous, but still."
"She once rode a dinosaur in a no-holds-barred race, which she wasn't supposed to be in in the first place. Still somehow won, without any major injuries even."
