Game Master S's "A Festive Operation" [Tier 3-6] (Inactive)

Game Master Chris Marsh

This can be done untrained, so I suggest Ysh' try it...

Despite her lack of hunting knowledge, Ysh’ start butchering the corpse.

Survival: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (4) + 0 = 4
Survival (Reroll 2*): 1d20 + 0 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 0 + 2 = 20

Ysh'yaal is about to give up when she gives it one more go and finds just what the doctor ordered!

When you return from hunting, Alora is ecstatic and promptly asks for help cooking.

Successfully cooking the family recipe requires you succeed at Profession (baker, chef, or cook) check, or a slightly harder Culture or Life Science check. The PCs gain a +2 circumstance bonus on this since you found herbs. Additionally, since you calmed Alora down, she automatically succeeds at an Aid Another.

If you don’t help Alora cook dinner, you can instead attempt to spread holiday cheer and joy among the Cembars by attempting a vareity of things, bonuses are available for good posts. Some possible skill checks include walking the pet squoxes (Life Science or Survival), hosting craft time with the young ysokis (Diplomacy or Engineering), socializing with the adults (Bluff or Diplomacy), and playing games with the skittermanders and ysokis (Athletics, Bluff, Disguise, or Sleight of Hand).

Sir Feighnswelle: Go!
Kaath: Go!
Ysh'yaal: Go!
Zoey: Go!

Trust me, I'm from Akiton! Zoey shouts with an accent that betrays she is anything but. She folds a napkin into a chef's hat and does her best impression of a KA-2000 DICEBOT cooking robot. With a deep voice she says I've got five settings for chopping Arabuk. None of which involve dropping it.

Culture, +2 bonus: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 2 = 22 Assuming that is enough?

Zoey chops the veggies and stuffs the arabuk, all the while singing and pretending she is presenting a cooking show

This special spicy sauce we have prepared earlier! Now let's see how our meat is doing. ooh, look at that color...

---
Get up! Get up!
Get up and grab a plate
A layer of cream
A layer of fruit
A layer of happy
A layer of good
Just don't eat the cherry
The cherry is fake!
Stand up and enjoy
STRAWBERRY MACHINE CAKE

"I suggest adding some fish sauce," Sir Feighnswelle suggests to Alora. However, realizing that his skills may be more appreciated amongst the game players, the pinniped slumps toward the skittermanders and ysokis and begins to toss a few about.
Athletics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

Sir Feighnswelle and Zoey both find comfort and success at the end of the mission...

Sir Feighnswelle: Success!
Kaath: Go!
Ysh'yaal: Go!
Zoey: Success!

Kaath has little experience cooking but will try to assist

”The Cosmos is a vast cauldron of experiments in chemistry and thermodynamics. My understanding of cooking is much the same but at a infinitely smaller scale.“

survival : 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15 or assist

”The Cosmos is a vast cauldron of experiments in chemistry and thermodynamics. My understanding of cooking is much the same but at a infinitely smaller scale.“

If you can't stand the heat death, get out of the kitchen! Zoey responds with a wink.

Kaath is enough!

Soon, dinner is served and everyone, including you, gathers at the long dining table, which is surrounded by colorful chairs and set with mismatched porcelain and cutlery. Alora sets out roast arabuk packed with apelos stuffing, mashed purple and blue root vegetables, stewed greens, sticky rice, gravy, and numerous pies. Before anyone is served, Alora asks everyone to take a moment to remember their loved ones, both lost and found. After a minute of silence, she invites everyone to enjoy the Reunion feast. It feels good to be part of a celebration, and not being shot at for once. The evening passes with merriment!

Upon returning from Akiton, you find Camellia waiting for you at the spaceport’s arrival gate, wearing a new holiday sweater and beaming with joy. They greet you by name and reiterate how grateful they are for your willingness to help everyone enjoy their holidays. As a token of their appreciation, Camellia offers each of you a gift: a glittering flower, much like the one upon Camellia’s head, that will never fade or wither. This blossom is a flower of celebration—a magic flower from the First World that enables them to share their sparkling spirit whenever and wherever they want.

Congratulations! We pretty much end 2023 on this note! This was a rather different scenario, but fitting for the time of year. well done everyone. You can grab your chronicles HERE. I'll leave the thread up until Monday or everyone confirms that the chronicle is good as is. Happy new year!
