Flight (25'), Darkvision, Speech

Peek slowly flaps his wings, white speckled feather, each one an artwork, apparently pleased by the compliments he's recieving from Eireann. Circe, well aware when Peek is preening and posturing, tries hard not to roll her eyes at this and almost succeeds. "Circe'd be lost wi'out me n' no mistake. Ma mistress gets lost on the way tae the outhouse.", jokes Peek, revelling in toilet humor. Circe sucks in her cheeks a little at this, but otherwise seems as unmoved as she is unimpressed.. well except for a ghost of a smile.

Some of this is undoubtedly due to the fact that she's clearly keeping one ear on the conversation between 'homeless brain addled tinker' and Crastug.

And people ask me why I don't talk to people more., she thinks to herself, her lips narrowing to a thin line in irritation upon her realization that they are dealing with someone a few items short of the full tool box.

The winter afternoon is not as bitterly cold as it was when you first arrived. This far from Zybunny, it's relatively wooded. There doesn't *seem* to be anything too odd about.

I need everyone to choose an Exploration Activity.

Terast is using the Scout activity.

And roll a DC 5 Fortitude save to see how you're dealing with the cold.

Flight (25'), Independent, Speech

She notes that others seem to be shrugging off the cold, though she is feeling it. She's clearly stealthy though not Eireann stealthy.

Circe scouts with her owl familiar Peek, which has independence, so it gets one free action per round, independent of Circe. It's the party's eye in the sky. She uses 1 action to get it to scout continually, then uses her other two actions to sneak and keep an eye out herself, moving at half speed, but her half speed is still pretty quick.

Crastug exhales into his hands to warm them and stamps his feet to keep the blood moving. He's obviously feeling the cold but seems to be handling it well enough. He produces a vial from within his coat and downs the contents.

While following Terast, he allows the trapper to look for bear tracks while he attends to the environment around them, hoping to discover something that will shed light on this mystery.

Mechanics

Using one of his infused Eagle Eye Elixirs (+1 to Perception, +2 to find secret doors and traps)

Crastug will InvestigateYou seek out information about your surroundings while traveling at half speed. You use Recall Knowledge as a secret check to discover clues among the various things you can see and engage with as you journey along. You can use any skill that has a Recall Knowledge action while Investigating, but the GM determines whether the skill is relevant to the clues you could find. for his exploration activity. Nature and potentially Arcana and Occultism seem like they might be relevant. I suppose Religion as well.

There's little to chatter about as they move along and doing so would only spoil their attempts at silence, at least for some of them. Ash remains quiet as she moves along with the group and keeps her eyes open for anything unusual. * I like this weather... I bet this could make for a wonderful slide if it were packed down suitably... like a wave only better support in fact... * She studies the snow, how it falls and shifts, under its own weight and under her feet as she moves, and the natural formations it makes with the environment around them. She finds that it captures much of her attention and she simply doesn't focus nearly as well on remaining quiet as adapting to this new environment.

descriptionAsh, the shortened version of her name that she primarily uses, especially with the scaleless, is an empathetic young female lizardfolk. Always concerned with the care of those in need, particularly the wounded, she goes out of her way to assist them, even complete strangers. Its why she became a field medic and followed the Way of the Water, for which she had a marked affinity.

She's quite small for a lizardfolk who are typically about the same size as a larger human. Her tribe, a cliffscale species is instead much smaller, slender and lithe, almost identical in size to that of a typical gnome but with a long slender tail of course. Her scales are a sandy tan and gray with darker mottled spots and her hands, feet, fingers, and toes allow her to scale sheer surfaces with ease. Most of her clothing is tan or a shade of gray-brown, her favorite color, and tends towards being short and non-binding or custom fitted, allowing her a freedom of movement more restrictive clothing simply won't. | application | pb sheetAshara'Rusa Chua'Kaolo, a.k.a.

OOC

I'm looking at pictures of bears and wondering, *Why aren't there any pictures of bears in winter?* And then I realize it's because bears aren't out and about in the winter, which is the entire bleeping premise of the adventure I've written and am currently running.

Knowing there's a bear about, your group moves relatively slowly and cautiously. You estimate it should only be mid-afternoon by the clock, but the sun is already low in the sky. The first thing you spot is a silo, but soon you see a shorter barn near it. You can hear crashing sounds and a sort of mournful moaning.

As you get within a stone's throw of the barn, you spot two bear cubs break through a hole in the roof and drop to the ground, then take off toward the north.

Madadh · September 26, 2023

Tethyr, Half-Elf Magus

The half-elf frowns, watching the cubs flee. Keeping his voice low he nods in the direction they went.

"Odd. Something is definitely afoot. I sense magic on the cubs," he says to the others as they approach. "We should be on guard and make no assumptions about what we encounter."

The Eyeball Kid · September 26, 2023

"It's been suggested several times now, but this seems further evidence. I'm not sure those are cubs. They are far more adept than I would expect for bears of that age. Of course that's not going to matter a great deal if the mother is convinced they are cubs.... Circe, can you make sure Peek keeps an eye on them and, perhaps, gets a good close look before removing himself from danger? Are you capable of seeing through his eyes?"

Vega watches in fascination as make their escape. "I'm surprised that the mama bear hasn't mauled anyone out of frustration. She would be totally justified with those cubs". She dryly comments.

Getting focused on the task, she suggests "We should check out the barn to see what the cubs were doing. Also we should be on the lookout for the signs of fey or spirit involvement. That wasn't typical bear behavior - even if they are enchanted with magic"

Flight (25'), Independent, Speech

Circe, her characteristic reserve on display, essayed a nod regarding Ash's assessment of snow, thinking perhaps snow was novelty for the lizardfolk, which would make sense after all, but Circe discovers she has nothing to say about it in reply.

Like the others her eyebrows crease together at the oddness of the fleeing bear cubs, something which Tethyr quietly put into words for all of them. "If the cubs are the criminal twins, I vote we let Mother add them to her winter fat stores.", she remarks, in common, quietly with a shy, self-effacing smile, which does tend to imply she's joking, then again....

She shakes her head when Crastug asks if she can see through the eyes of her familiar. "I wouldn't put up with his mouth, if I could have him as a glorified glove puppet.", she replies somewhat archly, once more in Common. And, speak of the devil, moments later, Peek descends from out of a frozen albino blue sky, settling on falconer glove. He in greeted there by Circe's version of a 'light up the room' smile, which might light up a corner on a good day. He visibly takes note of his mistress' smile and drawls.. "Awright, what'd I miss?", he asks, turning his head in near circles clearly hoping someone will fill him in.

Circe interrupts what was brewing up to be a rant in the making. "Crastug here was asking if you could keep an eye on the cubs for us? He's asking for a close look, the current sentiment being they're not cubs, just look like cubs.", she informs her familiar, her tone matter of fact, rather schoolmistressy.

Peek's bill drops open, he blinks once or twice, then... "Keep tabs... right ye are pal, but a 'close' look at something that's probably magic, on me lonesome, distant fae any help. Outnumbered two to one in a 'freeze your bollocks off' landscape. Yeah, ah'm thinking ah'll gi' that one a pass, you know like a pass so hard ye could cut gems wi' it."

Circe takes all this in and turns her gaze to Crastug. "Welcome to 'my' world.", she says, dripping sarcasm all around.

Peek blinks at this from Circe." Good one. Tell ye what tho'. Next time they go in somewhere I can hang around.. wall between me and them like, and see if they do anything besides shitting in the woods.. you know. Something no ordinary."

When Vega proposes a course of action, Circe asks.. "Isn't mother still at the barn?"
