Re: Part 2b: The Northern Contingent: Something in the Water
"Or has one of ye a notion where the flood come from?" Bürd squints at the river,"I'm squeezed out an' drained, but we should maybe have 'nother look?"
Maybe tracking rolls or something, to find some clues where the corpse came from or what might've caused the flood? Anyone? We're up here to figure out the flood after all, and we don't really know much more than before...

yes, and if I understand fortunes favor, Smokey can help the smartest one of us get an extra shot on a roll.mb. wrote:"Or has one of ye a notion where the flood come from?" Bürd squints at the river,"I'm squeezed out an' drained, but we should maybe have 'nother look?"

Re: Part 2b: The Northern Contingent: Something in the Water
Abel's INT is the same as yours Smokey.
Abel hesitant and a bit off from the sudden blindness of the fire once oriented again. "Alright if this will get us home sooner." attempts to search for "clues" back where the body originally was located.
INT Check[1d20] = 9 WIS Check[1d20] = 17
one pass one fail even with a 16 WIS I failed lol
after looking around and attempting to locate any signs other than their own. Abel just examines that area around the bridge again. "All flood signs on one side and not on the other and the bridge itself took a lot of damage other than the stonework...Very perplexing."

You come up with nothing more decisive than that the flood must have been unnatural in origin.GreyWolfVT wrote:INT Check[1d20] = 9 WIS Check[1d20] = 17
Anyone else want to try anything before heading home?
Re: Part 2b: The Northern Contingent: Something in the Water
Bürd walks around the area, up and down the bank, carefully across the bridge, up and down the other bank, ostensibly investigating the area, but mostly going over what's happened, and over and over the old songs he learned back home…
Check for Ancient history, INT 15, Bürd rolls [1d20] = 7

Re: Part 2b: The Northern Contingent: Something in the Water
Bürd comes back from his investigations looking a little haunted, but only says, "let us for home friends."
I think we're all agreed, so we start back to town the quickest way, which is the road I assume...

Re: Part 2b: The Northern Contingent: Something in the Water
It is mid-morning when you leave the still-burning pyre and head south.
Travel goes quickly across the roads. You notice the tracks of several carnivores along the road, but they mostly appear to be from before the rain of two days ago.
Passing the way point, you see that vultures have found the bodies of the slain dogs.
If you press yourselves, you could make it home tonight, but it is unclear whether Smokey can keep such a pace. His face is purple and swollen with bruises and he is prone to dizziness.
If you wanted to stop for the evening, Smokey's cabin might make a good way point.
You may also recall that you have some of Simon's goodberries on hand. You have seen the effect of these berries before. They have miraculous healing properties.

Re: Part 2b: The Northern Contingent: Something in the Water
The berry is delicious, sweet and tart and somehow unlike any berry you've ever tasted. You immediately feel better, and a little more alert. You've still been beaten to shit, and look it, but you don't feel like you're about to keel over come the next stiff breeze..Dizlexus wrote:Smokey

Re: Part 2b: The Northern Contingent: Something in the Water
We trudge back home as swiftly as we can, intent on being there by nightfall, munching berries (Bürd could also do a few - how many do we have) as we go.

Marcus walks along, quiet this entire time, lost in thought. He is not sure what is coming to the village or that he will be able to stop it... but he will save as many as he can.
Life is a roller coaster, if you don't stop to enjoy it then you may as well not even ride.

Re: Part 2b: The Northern Contingent: Something in the Water
Definately one more for Smokey depending upon how badly off Bürd is I might just say let Smokey take them both.
