#ferments — Public Fediverse posts

Saps els gossos, que sempre volen el plat de l'altre? Doncs sembla que els humans fem el mateix.
Ho fem amb les medicines, i ho fem amb els aliments.
Ara mateix hi ha un munt de gent fent Kimchi i kombutxa i koji, i molt poca fent olives.

I no tinc res en contra dels fermentats foranis, però aprendre coses noves, sense conservar els coneixements propis, ho trobo absurd.

No se m'acudeix un aliment més mediterrani que les olives. I a més, com a fermentat, són meravelloses.

A part de ser probiòtiques, les olives en sí són plenes de compostos benèfics, i a més s'adoben amb herbes medicinals, que alhora tenen molts compostos benèfics, que les olives atraparan de forma molt eficient, fent-los disponibles a la nostra digestió.
Perquè hi ha compostos liposolubles (solubles en oli) i hidrosolubles (solubles en aigua), i les olives contenen oli i aigua i per tant els poden extraure tots

I a més a més, són delicioses.

Ferments, Sessions three & four: Mud mephit slide, wake, fey chwinga

In session three the focus was on Keesrah. A duet session handled on Discord due to let turnout, session three was a fine example of the intent behind The Ferments campaign — always find a way to play D&D.

Session four was held at Logan Brewing in Burien, as is typical. Keesrah and Guarese attended.

What did the other characters do? We’ll use downtime to talk about the use of their homesteads as bastions, Xanathar’s downtime actions and/or improving their defenses for Militia Actions. And, due to player feedback we’re including traps in Militia Actions to embrace the case where a homestead may be solo or light on membership.

The Ferments reading;

• One sheet
• Common knowledge
• Sesion one
• Session two

Session three

Keesrah heads into the scrub mountains for food to celebrate the visit of the liquor-creating family of halflings from downway. Her mom is on the trip.

During this trip in horrific weather a mudslide forces a change in path, and eventually she is attacked by mud mephits. It’s a fierce encounter on the edge of failure. But together the two managed to hold off the mephits.

Later in the trip home they notice a fox, Rennard. Using spellcraft, Keesrah learns that fox is the companion to Taier Henkel. Tier is missing, and presumed dead.

Keesrah and her mother, Velthuria, need to cross the mudflow to return home. Using some craft, luck and Crow the Raven the two managed to safely cross the mud mephit slide. Keesrah is punched by a mud mephit swimming through the flow.

After the flow and storm subsides Keesrah and Caile (the brother) head into the hills to talk to the Henkels and then the Drudzhars. One of these conversations goes much better than the other.

As a sign of fellowship, and because of Caile, Taier’s memorial is to be held at the Trading Post — there’s also easy access to the liquors from the visiting family.

The celebration goes well, except for the fight between Caile and Keesrah.

Learned clues

• Keesrah Maltunyn learned that the Henkel halflings get along with Clan Drudzhar.
• Caile is friendly with both the Henkel halflings and Drudzhar.
• Taier Henkel washed away in the mephit mudslide.
• Keesrah rescued Taier’s fox Rennard.
• Taier’s body was encased in mud by chwingas claiming he gave them a piece of his soul.
• Chwingas released Taier when Guarase Spinebloom said he’d find them another bit of soul — maybe his.
• Ken raiders with an ambush drake made their presence known. One donated its soul.
• Guarase earned a Charm of Heroism granted by the semi–domesticated fey chwinga that now live in the Spinebloom’s rice marsh.

Session four

This was the first session featuring the Spinebloom homestead. It is a series of mostly underground dome structures in a desert environment. Many Spineblooms have some druidic magic and they use this and their traditional growing methods to have the least influence on the environment as possible.

The same river that goes past the Maltunyn’s flows to the Spineblooms. Since The Ferments are infested with extreme elemental influences the desert and scrub mountains are close than is practical in a typical world.

Keesrah and Caile travel along that river to try to find Taier’s remains. That journey includes meeting Guarase who helps them search. There is a mud casing hidden in the rice marsh the Spineblooms farm.

Unfortunately there are also chwingas, little elemental sprites whose morality is not the same as humanity. These chwingas rescued Taier, but kept him cased as a way to protect him during the mephit mudslide.

In order to get Taier free the chwingas demand another soul. Somewhat confused, Guarase agrees. Then the goliath figures out that they mean his soul.

During this exchange the non-chwingas notice two advancing elves and an ambush drake. Keesrah sends Caile and Taier home.

Guarase and Keesrah fend off the elves, while the drake and those elves destroy a third of the rice marsh including many chwingas. When one of the elves is dropped unconscious in the marsh a chwinga captures its soul.

The elves also damage a Spinebloom home.

Keesrah and Guarase learn of more threats to The Ferments, more friends that could be made and the challenges to come in a land that threatens their livelihood.

Ferments, Session one: Smog buggy and fire snakes

The East marched on West Thundermoon Trading Post.

Wrapping up a typical day, Keesrah noticed a thick, acrid cloud coming from the east. At the same time a not-unusual goliath walked up the packed dirt road from the south.

The goliath, Guarase Spinebloom, reached the gates of the wooden palisade enclosure a few minutes before the smog buggy. Keesrah starts closing the doors.

The smog buggy encounter was one of three random encounters rolled by the three players taking part in today's session.

In a thick accent, the boss of the smog buggy, a goblin with driver and second passenger, demands/requests entry to escape “fire snakes.”

Keesrah messages her mother. This takes nearly a minute because it is the spell. She opens the gate and lets the rancid smoke engulfed clackety buggy into the trading post.

Mere feet behind them are fire snakes.

This was not a euphemism. They are snakes, made of fire.

Fire snakes were also rolled on the random encounter chart.

The fight is swift with another Trading Post visitor, a halfling with six tiny terrier companions, Luke with a silent and non-appearing q in his name. Luke is a cleric and joins in the defense. He was picking up farm implements from Keesrah’s father, a smith whose forge burns over an open lava seam.

Luke, Keesrah and Guarase try to defend these goblins. They have difficulty conversing with the goblins. Though the goblins know common (Telsian as we’re using cultures not languages)the two dialects known aren’t similar between the Ferments-born and the Essians (goblin born).

A unique use of Create Water by Luke reduces the fire snake effectiveness for a round, while also limiting the spread of fire in the walls.

During the fight the fire snakes kill one of the goblin minions and damage everyone, as well as a bit of the palisade. It’s a win, but with a hefty loss.

A mistake the DM, me, made was having four fire snakes. Standard fire snakes have too many hit points for three 1st level characters, even with their allies.As soon as I realized the error I dropped them to 13 or 14 HP. That meant the fight was very difficult, but not a campaign ender.

A morale roll means that the smog buggy driver will likely never leave the trading post again. Their best friend is gone, burnt. Malk, the goblin boss needs to repair their buggy, which is also crispy, and find a crew and find the resources to use as fuel. The goblins normally use tar trees, but outside of Essia those are extremely rare.

Malk and Keesrah’s father talk about the possibility of using lava to fuel the smog buggy.

After a bit of rest, and setting up a guard by Keesrah’s family the group tries to recover. They talk a bit.

Looking around the Post they notice the overflight of dozens of hunting birds. The Maltunyn family rivals up in the hills almost always bond with birds. At a heightened alert, the group of Luke, Guarase and Keesrah notice that one of the smaller doors out to the game trails is open. Keesrah’s younger brother is gone.

The overflight was the third random encounter rolled.

Key learnings (SlyFlourish would call these secrets).

• Goblins are searching The Ferments for a resource that can fuel their smog-tek.
• Fire snakes are now aggressive, rather than passive. They will chase outsiders in the area.
• Keesrah’s brother snuck out at night. That raised an alert from the adversarial clan nearby.
• Community helps community. No matter the challenge and the danger.

This was the first session of The Ferments, an East Marches Campaign set in the World of the Everflow.

It is an experiment in using random encounters, defensible places, and a West Marches style to talk about community, control of knowledge and love of pets.

Yo, how do you make sure not to get #botulism when making flavored oils? I have some #fir needles that I straight up stole from a privately owned forest and I want to put them in some oil and then spray it all over my food like a maniac. But I don't want to be killed by some little stupid #bacteria. All the boring websites say either get ph-value of below 4,6 or get some salt, which makes sense for #ferments or get 121°c for 3 min if #canning. But what about in oil? It is #anaerobic, so risky

Me pregunto cómo estará el primer chucrut que he hecho en mi vida. Lleva 18 horas fermentando y se veía así cuando lo dejé en el mueble. Espero que no sea muy problemático que haya parte de col sobresaliendo (a parte de las hojas para presionar hacia abajo), pero no lo pude prensar mejor. :blackcat_11124:

Tonight we ate some #sauerkraut that I made this fall. If I die, y’all know why. Because I’m totally an #amateur #fermenter 😂

Also apparently fermenting is way safer than #canning and #botulism is crazy rare in #ferments? Hope so!
