In the far-off, northern island of Mended Horn, the party there has learned that they face an enemy they have dubbed "The Traveller." They have decided to go to an old, abandoned village there in hopes of rescuing some communist sailors.

In Baltimare, Dark Star tries to get things in order, while Virgin Flame looks for her old friend.

"I came into this mission expecting a Stalliongradii or other force working in tandem with, attempting some military espionage. It seemed cut and dry. But this,... this is increasingly beyond my ability to comprehend, OTHER than that we need to kill it, and fast," he finishes, and with a DC [1d20+5 = (14+5) = 19] spot check, one might detect him mutter the phrase "if we even CAN kill it"

It was not declared

The proposed staryu pic and ettin oic would be said to occur while I was passed the fuck out and GM was opeating Brie who had the camera.

The idea is precipitated on the notion that GM would have known to have Brie take a choice oic or two in advance of the surprise round. This has not been properly adjudicated.

On the camera front, Im really gonna micromanage this:
1 shot of the suicide doctor pone
1 shot of the crazy-stilts-ettin thing (cuz surprise)
1 shot of one of the starfish bitches
Would seem to be at 23/26

Or, 25/26 with the suicide picture. Either way, we have documents to very heavily reinforce the spoop that will be WELL documented (at the expense of immediate murder e,_,e) murder, so any pics not previously taken will hopefully be sufficiently validated (and maybe a bureaucrat ALSO gets stabbed)

Posey goes over to this to see that there is a single interior wall with a doorway, meaning that 80% of the area is a single, big room with a big opening for a door (the frame has since collapsed in on itself), the floor of this room is fairly rocky. The other room is maybe 20%, and has a stone floor. The outer walls are mostly preserved, and there is even a corner in the smaller room where a tiny portion of the roof remains.

A few cups, plates, and pots. Most are broken, but a couple are intact.

The ring seems to be mundane, evidently contains a symbol, presumably a signet, and is probably very expensive for this evidently poor village.

Very well. The ring and the coins can go into the bag, to be divided at the end of the mission.
Does the Signet look familiar?

Aside from searching for treasure, examining loot, check-in for clues, or helping Silver with the interrogation, idk what else there is for her to do.
If anypony can think of something helpful for her to do, she would help with that.

Though more could be said, the basics is this

Past a half circular bay, and up a hillside, is a large, green hill that tapers down as it comes to a tip. And around the tip, some ways above the water, is a white painted light house. It isn't incredibly tall, and Brie can't see the base, as it is partly on the other side of the hill.

RIP Kultainen

When Cavaliere sees the seventh photograph, he grips it such that it is bent slightly as the edges of his mouth bend in a fierce scowl. Nevertheless, he has the presence of mind to examine the other photographs to try to notice anything familiar.
Survival: [1d20+3 = (4+3) = 7]
Knowledge (Arcana): [1d20+7 = (11+7) = 18]

Later, when talking to Silver, he says, "It's a small miracle any ponies have survived from this ship at all, but they don't look like they will last much longer if we don't act immediately. This entity has murdered eighty ponies in cold blood, and as it cannot be brought to trial we must end it ourselves. It exudes a gas with unknown effects which means we should locate masks if the ship has them. I have these photographs and documents that have some helpful information."

Posey could probably tell if they're healing potions (if a drop burns her tongue, it's a healing potion), but otherwise she has no means to identify them.

Brie lowers, to offer the potions to Posey (who he is cautious of, but wanting to avoid any unpleasantries) "I thought they might be poisons, but on examination they may be potions of some sort," he holds them out for the taking. "I havent been given any sort of description, so Moon knows what they might be."

Dust looks over the pony's shoulders to see the potions and attempts to identify.
Craft (alchemy)? I don't really have a knowledge skill like herbology for this [1d20+9 = (2+9) = 11]

"In spite of appearances I'm the sort to have written out a lengthy bit about pulling out a wire from my thieves kit, cleaned/spat out the anti-rusting oil, and with precise skills, dipped the wire in one of the potions. But then I realized that this is all spoopy shit, and who knows what an as-yet undescribed potion could do. Maybe it has to do with this Traveler in some capacity. No, for the time being I'm preferring not knowing their effects, if it means avoiding needless risk," he says, pocketing the vials.

>Identifying Potions
>In addition to the standard methods of identification, PCs can sample from each container they find to attempt to determine the nature of the liquid inside. An experienced character learns to identify potions by memory—for example, the last time she tasted a liquid that reminded her of almonds, it turned out to be a potion of cure moderate wounds.
If we've had these potions before, we should be able to recognize them.
3.5e Wealth By Level absurdly subtracts the value of all of the consumables the character is assumed to have used from their starting equipment (Pathfinder corrects this), so any lvl 5 hero is assumed to have ingested a wide variety of options.

Posey can tell if a potion is a cure potion, because cure potions burn her tongue.

Posey puts a drop of each vial on her tongue, to see if it burns her, to make sure the potion is genuine and not poison.
