Fenal's page

I'll be at a con from Thursday through Sunday. I'll try and check in when I can but no guarantees. Feel very free to Bot me if required

Fenal quickly starts to wake the others up, sending Decos to help in doing so.

Fenal steps up and throws magic weapon on Payngor's axe

Fenal will cast speak with animals and then call out

"Greetings my friend. There is no need to attack us, if you do we'll have to hurt you. Lets talk instead. Perhaps we can become friends and help each other"

shmooze: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20 Assuming diplomacy ok, if I have to use handle animal instead the result would be 14 instead

Why do just one? We should exploit BOTH resources

Fenal is quite happy to hunt or fish

"Uh, which tribe? What did they say when they spoke?"

[i]"Final days? That sounds ominous. I hope that he isn't ill"[/b]

Fenal carefully examines the old man, looking for any sign of disease

heal: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

"Greetings Ashtok. What brings you here, alone?"

Fenal would look for building materials

Would take 10 if allowed (17). If not,
survival: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Ok, I'll take 20 instead :-)

Standing carefully behind Payngor, Fenal attempts to hit it with his longspear
attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Does Fenal have any idea what it is?
knowledge nature: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

I'm guessing not :-(

"What is that? Never seen something like THAT before"

Agreed. Sounds like by far our best option

"We should see if there are any islands in the lake. An Island would be MUCH more defensible. I really like this land except that it seems a little too vulnerable to attack"

Fenal sends Decos flying out over the lake, looking for any Islands that might exist out there. Failing an Island, perhaps a penninsula where the village could be better defended

"East is as good a direction as any, and better than some"

"Excellent. Growing in numbers is good. What are your names?. I am Fenal and this is my friend Decos"

"We will not harm you. Why are the two of you travelling alone at night fall?"

To others, in low voice that will NOT carry to the strangers

"I suggest that we tell them the truth, that we are looking for a place to stay/settle down. Any objections?"

"Hold on a moment. It might be possible to make these people into friends. Or, at least, make them a little friendlier" he says to his friends.

He then calls out
"Is your friend injured? If you'll let me I can possibly help him"

"I agree, we have to press on at this point"

Survival: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
fort: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 1 + 2 = 20

Fenal spends a little bit of time talking out land, chanting in a strange language. Although nobody else can see anything, it as if they are seeing one side of a conversation. As he talks, sometimes the snow whirls and a shape is momentarily ALMOST visible before disappearing,

Fenal manages to talk to the spirits and a couple of them are willing to help the group. With their aid, he manages to lead the group down somewhat secret paths that keep the group out of the worst of the weather

The above is all flavor text explaining his survival roll :-)

So, everybody gets +2 to their fort saves

"It was VERY cold here. With shelter and wood for a camp fire. I'm not at all sure that we'd survive a night in the cold even higher up. Especially poor Lissa. I think that we have to go down to the first ledge and find a path there"

Fenal looks over at Cartimandua
"Thank you for that. "

Turning to the rest of the group
"Obviously we can't make this our home. Too cold. Lets go back down the mountain and look for somewhere better"

Fenal Fort Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

Fail.

Not sure if Decos needs one as well (he'd almost certainly be very snuggled against me. If he does
Decos Fort Save: 1d20 ⇒ 20 Make sit

As a Canadian I officially detest all D&D "environmental rules". They make their economic systems seem realistic by comparison :-)

Camping is good

Fenal will do his share of the chores for setting up a camp.

"We need to set up watches. There are enough of us now that I think that we should have 2 on watch all night. With 7 of us that should be manageable"

Fenal casts speak with animals and then tries talking to the lion. In Lion :-)

"My friend, we do not want you to get hurt. You should leave here very quickly before things get bad for you. There is DANGER coming"

Hopefully a diplomacy check? If Handle animals, it is 6 lower
dplomacy: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26

Definitely ready to move on here

"Agreed. Even if we move on we need to know what is behind us"

"If you and your father join us we will share our food with you. There is strength in numbers"

Fenal steps up behind Payngor
"We mean you no harm. But we WILL fight back if attacked"
Good cop (diplomacy): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33

Fenal puts away his weapons and steps up also

"As she says, we won't hurt you. Please, lets just talk"

diplomacy: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18

Fenal would hang back a little so as to not screw up Payngors stealth

Question. Do we have any salt or the like to actually preserve meat? If not, then we should just let the Ram go as we already have enough meat.

Normally, of course, I'd just assume that we have all the salt we need. But in the survival genre finding salt becomes very important

Sorry, I generally can only post once a day. You guys stop posting so much! :-)

"Well done Payngor"

Fenal stands back and throws a spear at the boar
to hit: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

"Hah. Take THAT"

knowledge nature: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

"I'm not overwhelmingly good at sneaking. Perhaps I should drive the boar towards you?"

Fenal marches back into the camp, carrying 5 dead squirrels.

"I've found breakfast for the three of us. Sorry, didn't find enough for that great beast of yours. I hope that he's eaten recently"

As he tosses the squirrels by the fire one of them suddenly rises and flies of its own accord into the flames

"Riger, stop that! There is no reason to be rude!. Chinkmek. would you please be good enough to pick up that one before it burns?"

The squirrel in the flame slowly rises and floats to where the other dead squirrels lie, landing gently among them

"Thank you Chinkmek, I appreciate it"
