Sonny moves forward to the body and begins to examine it. "Recently dead. Fell from a great height."

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Heal: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Perception DC 20: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Perception DC 15: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Pontia doesn't know what she's looking at, or for.

If someone else in the party makes the Perception checks, can Pontia make the Knowledge (Arcana) checks?

Perception DC 20: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30

Heal DC 10: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

2d Perception DC 15: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30

Know Arcana DC 15: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Vivian looks around, and studies the body, using the years of knowledge she earned as a servant of Pharasma (even if her younger rebellious self would never admit that fact!)

Well, that dead man's looks like a Voltario, maybe a son? Died by hitting the ground from an high place. There are some obscure mystical symbols under the body, I can't determine what it it. Maybe Sonny and Pontia will have better informations on that, but let me check ffirst if the symbols aren't a trap

Perception vs magical traps, Trapfinder: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 13 + 2 = 28

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17 +2 in Forests

Heal: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18 +2 in Forests

If someone else in the party makes the Perception checks, can Pontia make the Knowledge (Arcana) checks?

Yes, since Vivian spotted the symbols, you can try and decipher them.

Knowledge (Arcana) check: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (3) + 20 = 23

Not sure why I bothered....

Second Knowledge (Arcana) check: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (11) + 20 = 31

"Those symbols are definitely summoning runes of some sort. They're not tied to another plane, though...I believe they're for calling up some being of the Dark Tapestry."

Well, a +20 skill check should be reason enough to at least have bothered!

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30

There is something up, right above us. Probably waiting to attack us. Beware!

Sonny looks up to see where the creature is.

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18

As Vivian points it out, a loud shriek is heard and you see a creature larger than an elephant, this scaly, bird-like creature has a vaguely horse-like head and vast, slime-encrusted wings.

Pontia Canario: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Sabola: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Sonny Wright: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Vivian Deberth: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Shantak: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Initiative Order/HP
Shantak 19 (?/?)
Sabola 17 (79/79)
Pontia Canario 14 (46/46)
Vivian Deberth ? (66/66)
Sonny Wright ? (66/66)

As this thing starts to turn around in flight preparing for an attack, you each have 3 rounds to do domething (run? LOL!). This thing will take its turn at the top of the 4th.

Knowledge check to identify (+20 if Arcana or Planes, +18 if Religion, at least +12 on all other monster ID skills): 1d20 ⇒ 13
