The main part of the party in Mended Horn is wrapping up a matter at an Abandoned Whaling/Sealing station... somewhat. Virgin Flame has made her return and is celebrating with exercise and tea after recovering an important marble statue head and vanquishing several amoebas in the process.

Silver: "If that is what everypony is agreeing on. It sounds as if all of major locations on island are equidistant from each other, so distance is not factor.

Technically the modern village is a little further than the lighthouse or old village

The flying things are nearer the old village.

The lighthouse is on a kind of promontory north of the whaling station, and to the side of the north bay. To get there, go the direction towards the small whale bones and beyond, either going slightly inland and going up the hill, or stay on the beach and hug the coast.

The old village is on a hill kind of near the center of the island, inland and between the northern and southern bays. To get there, go in land from the whaling station, basically just going the opposite direction of the boat.

I was really hoping that map would be ready by now...

Even if he can't determine the exact metal, perhaps he can figure out certain properties of the metal it's made out of.

Goodies! Cavaliere stows these items away, putting the map away in his map case That is, if OOC it's not ready. If it's ready he will have a look at it and the compass and telescope in his backpack. He still is bearing a medium load, though the extra pounds are irksome.

I assume that the telescope is similar to the spyglass from the handbook, though it might have more magnification. There's no description of any compass. Would it grant a survival check bonus?

It would be valuable in this setting because it might help with spot checks at a distance, but the window for usefulness is narrowing due to fog and diminishing sunlight.

Cavaliere lends the telescope to Brie, saying "You're a skilled lookout; see if you can make good use of this."

He spends his remaining time on the boat searching for something that could use this sort of key.

Now that he's getting a closer look at the equipment, Silver grows even more perplexed. Clearly, this was made by someone who knew at least a little about smithing, as evidenced by the clearly intentionally decorative touches added to the helmet. But this alloy is odd. Again, whoever made it knew what they were doing as clearly they put in a lot of work to make this metal serviceable, but it looks a bit like it's made out of metal scraps, and probably bad metal scraps at that with as many oxides are present. But that only brings up more questions, such as why was this made in the first place if it was made out of scraps? The spearheads made sense, the griffons here needed spearheads and had little in the way of proper metal to make them with, they're practical. What could be the practicality of such a helmet as this, and why was Curwhinny so interested in it as to have it in his lair?

Perhaps getting some insight from Posey on its potential magical capabilities may answer some of these questions, and Silver has to remember to go to the university to get it properly examined once they return.

Is this what Brie would spend his time on?

I don’t know, I haven’t looked up the weight yet

Cavaliere knows from his search down stairs that the fuel line to the engine has been cut

Yes, the lure of a safe would be irresistible

>"Um, tea?"
Vir chuckles at the cuteness before her. Surely, Flowercup has to have a charisma score beyond thirty. ^^

>Sri... Cervidea?"
"Sorry," Vir says through a chuckle. "Didn't mean to put you on the spot."

>"It's an older container we have from overseas. I thought I'd bring it out for you."
She scratches the back of her neck. "I don't really know anything about tea myself. Never drink it, to be honest. It sure was tasty, but you didn't have to."

Hello, the zeeber is not dead. Just preoccupied.
I guess I'll join in the looting unless any more medical help is needed? Of course search is an Int skill.

Oh, yeah. Considering zoober is likely only gonna find his boat with that search check....
Mr. Zeeb walks up to the bat where he sits, safe cracking, and raises a hoof with a slight glow to it. He looks at Brie with an inquisitive look.

Dust arrives just as Brie is getting frustrated, pulling off his mask so that the sweat of exertion stops soaking into it. The strange camoflage paint he uses forms a porous layer thats oil based and really hard to get off once it dries. But at least his mascara never runs.

Dust looks at Brie and gestures the glowing hoof towards his ears.
Brie can't tell if he's not talking cause he's a quiet fellow, the ear thing, or some secret third thing. As for permission to heal, since one party member doesn't believe in healing spells....

Brie realizes what's being offered, nods briefly and pulls out a cigarette and a match. He relaxes visibly and lights the cigarette. "Much appreciated! I can't imagine that went how you envisioned it. There was a moment where I was seeing red, fortunately I couldn't move and by the time I could bullets were flying. No hard feelings!"

"But, if you can cause that affect to any adersaries we encounter, I can make short work of them indeed!"
