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.

"The journals of a dead Equestrian doctor suggested that the foil delays influence, but doesn't prevent it entirely. We might find ourselves at a disadvantage of any of us falls asleep on this island."
She pauses
"The traveller will undoubtedly be surrounded by many of its thralls. Are you prepared to blow them up as well?"
"In all honesty, I do not believe that will be enough to kill a creature that was able to survive impact from atmospheric heights. Then again, I cannot be sure my plan to rot it from the inside out with blackweave is any better... At least your plan saves us the risk of having to fight through the thralls."

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?

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."

"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.
