He doesnt yet know he got a 1 on his hide check
>>181425>>181426A griffin turns back, and looks towards Brie
>>181422^^
Goodnight. I'm falling a sleep in my chair.
It was great fun^^
Have we decided where we're going to search next yet, or not?
Let's just as the griffons which of the locations is closest, and go from there.
>>181433"Ze zijn een beetje een vergelijkbare afstand. Het oude dorp en de vuurtoren. De vuurtoren staat op die heuvel, langs de nok van het midden van het eiland tussen de noordelijke baai en de zuidelijke baai. De vuurtoren staat langs de kust als je hem rechtdoor volgt. Het ligt op een voorgebergte in de richting van het water."
>>181432Should have put points in Gungan >>181433The white griffin slowly comes closer, and in a strange accent, asks
"Where are you from?"
We should probably go to the lighthouse first because it's on higher ground, that way we will be able to see smoke/fire that the Marines built to keep warm if they're in the town.
The lighthouse probably has provisions and comm equipment in it, and the Marines would know that. They would be predisposed to go to an official building for refuge, and as Marines their standard protocol would be to make camp on the highest possible ground when in contested territory.
>>181437"I agree. Let us go to the lighthouse."
>Should we waitWe could just roll the check for what we find, and then appraise/count the loot after we finish the mission. No real need to count shekels now.
I would like to get started in the lighthouse search tonight.
>>181439He looks around with great uncertainty.
"I am glad you came. This has been a terrible day."
>>181441Silver: "It could have been far, far worse day."
>>181444"I thought it would be until you came."
>>181443Yes... I do... I was moving to Equestria."
>>181445gasp"How do you know our names?"
>>181446Silver: "There were many notes left behind in your village. Some in Ponish we could read, others in your native languages we could not."
Silver gives the white griffon the notes they've collected.
Actually, now that I think on it, wasn't at least one of the griffons injured before they encountered them, or at least was covered in blood?
>>181446>>181447Cavaliere follows suit, and gives the notes he had stowed away in his backpack.
"Pardon the intrusion on privacy, but when we came across your camp it looked abandoned. We read your letters to better understand what happened."And yes, they had stab wounds.
>>181447The yellow one is described as such, but the white one has visible blood stains as well.
He looks at the note
"My letters... I thought Olaf had destroyed them. It looks like he tried to."
>>181448"Oh, that makes sense, I guess."
>>181443"He did."
>>181449Correct me if I'm wrong, but this means that its been confirmed that the captain remembers fuckall but put the crown on, went eldritch crazy,... involuntarily.
Does Brie need to roll a check to connect that the crown may have mind controlled the captain possibly without it even being in his possession?
>>181450The crown mind controlled the captain... without it being near the captain?
>>181450>>181451Brie definitely doesn't know griffons well enough.
>>181450He found a cursed crown, and put it on because that's what people do when they find jewelry.
Then it mind controlled him.
>>181449Silver: "He did not try very well if he did. I would have thrown them in outhouse or something to that effect. We saw there was pistol and bottle in there." Silver looks over at his blood stains. "Are any of you injured? Do you need one of us yo take look over you?"
>>181455Probably immediately after he found it.
>>181454"The bottle... Olaf probably dropped one. Or hid it maybe. He tried to hide his alcoholism. A gun? Maybe that was Ingerstadt? I missed that part.
Yes, several of us are wounded. I've been stabbed... I think what happened was... the wounds were chilled and dried with salt to stop the bleeding."
>>181455Brie can ask in-character if he wants, the other PCs all have a pretty good idea from the letters they read.
>>181457I checked and his name is Egerstadt."That would explain all the blood in the curing shack. We had thought one of you were murdered in there." >>181456Im not asking for probably, Im asking - in detail and in character if needs be - where was the crown found, etc etc.
This is weird shit to Brie, hes not used to being surprised.
Brie expressly asked in character for an account from the captain if remembered, an account from the crew surrounding, and the other non-loot question was answered
>>181458scrunch"I'm almost surprised we were not. It was brutal..."
>>181459>hes not used to being surprisedRolling to sneak up behind Brie, and surprise him
Move silently
[1d20+9 = (9+9) = 18]Intimidate
[1d20+15 = (19+15) = 34]".......... BOO!"
>>181457Silver: "If you will permit us, we can have look over your injuries. I do not believe we are so strapped for time that we can not tend to some wounded griffons. You all may end up moving more swiftly as well while patched up."
>>181463"Yes." He nods. He moves his jacket to show what appears to be a stab wound. The wound itself cannot be seen, but a shirt tightly wrapped around it that is soaked in blood, can be.
>>181465We could just have the Cleric heal them.
Cure minor woulds should stop the bleeding. What's he using lvl 0 slots for?
>>181462Youd have to roll a bluff check opposed by spot to do that
>>181464Heal: With the current absence of our resident zeeb, Silver takes up combat medic duties, tending to the white griffon's wounds to the best of his abilities.
[1d20+5 = (8+5) = 13] >>181463Brie clears his throat more than obviously at the mention of healing
>>181470The wound seems mostly competently handled for now. It could use more pressure though, to make sure that the wound coagulates and does not come apart as they move.
>>181472Seems simple enough to take care of. A fresh bandage, tightly tied, and a dose of antiseptic to prevent infection should be enough to tide him over.
>>181471What all is ailing the bat? I know there was the Sound Burst, but was there anything else causing him problems?
>>181475The sound burst that did 8 dmg to the hollow-boned (it was a dice roll, but still) bat
