"Then we have an agreement." With that she withdraws and takes to the sky.

As the elf seems to prepare to join the party, Tkk-tkk worries. Still, if there is hostility, it is better to get it over with. She will approach the elf and wait, about fifty feet away. When noticed, she will nod. If the elf returns a positive signal, she will approach slowly and openly. "I am Tkk-tkk. I wish to assure you that I will not start any hostilities while we travel together. My hunting skills will keep me fed without seeking out any elf-meat. I swear this by the Earth and Sky." As she sears the sand ripples into circles below and the winds circle around.
Tkk-tkk is staying back to avoid triggering the elves. After all, some of them have completely unprovoked hostility towards the Kreen.
Tkk-tkk will signal the caravan to approach slowly. He'll come to the ground a ways back, not wanting to start trouble with the elves. He'll warn the group that there are elves there at the moment, and they should wait cautiously.
Tkk-tkk will circle down lower in order to see if there are any threats waiting at the Oasis.
Tkk-tkk will look over at Daqas, "We volunteer to scout from above."
As the others rise, Tkk-tkk greets them. Before dawn she digs out a small area and covers herself with sand to meditate and prepare for the day. Then she takes to the sky and circles to scout out a good path for the caravan.
Tkk-tkk will circle down to signal that they aren't a threat right now. "They are miles away, we need to keep an eye out, but people can go back to being dead." She pauses, realizing this wasn't right. "Asleep. You can go back to being asleep."
Tkk-tkk looks over and tries to judge how close the wolves are. If they aren't close, there's no need to alarm, just caution. Still, something was wrong. This many creatures being attracted to the caravan seems unusual.
"I will watch while you all go unconscious." says Tkk-tkk. she looks away as she says this, as if this strange behavior is contagious.
Tkk-tkk will swoop down to finish killing the last one.
Tornadoes? that's scary. I'll stay over here with the earthquakes and wildfires.
I will say that Anakim makes me think of a certain whiny young jedi... I'd also like to ask the DM if it would be alright to take a psicrystal in place of a bloodline familiar. He let me take a psicrystal as a shamanic familiar. But I do have stone as my primary spirit.
in the recruitment, will having an elf and a kreen be an issue? I am Jeral, not Tok'sa. I have self-control. I have not eaten elf so far, despite the temptation. It won't be an issue from my side so long as we have other food available. When it comes down to "eating people in the caravan is necessary for survival", then he'd obviously be first on the block.
Circling arounr, Tkk-tkk attacks the left one from the air.
Tkk-tkk calls back to the main group, "Warriors Come!" and will fly towards the threat. He'll gesture to Daqas to circle the other way.
"Oh, I understand that many species require cooking meat to consume it safely. I'll eat dried or smoked meat when fresh prey is not available. But the taste and spirit are gone from such flesh. It is for mere survival of the body, but our kind cannot thrive on offerings to the fire.
She flies off to bring Daqas some of the kill. (raw or cooked as his preference) She does not feel the need to speak, but to be there for him.
Seeing Tkk-tkk return with a deer, Børak moved to his pack taking out the cast iron pot and a few wooden skewers. Holding the pot up in one hand, and the skewerers in the other, he made gave an odd whistle, that sounded almost like the Kreen word for "Preference?" She looks confused at first, then slightly put off. "Neither." She will take a portion of brain and of liver and leave the rest to be parceled out. She enjoys her meal naturally, without ruining the flavor and texture through burning.
As the other deer move off, Tkk-tkk begins preparing the deer and bringing it back to feed the group.
Tkk-tkk will fly to pursue the fleeing prey. It would be disrespectful to not complete the hunt.
Tkk-tkk does what instinct tells her. She hunts.
Tkk-tkk will look over at Daqas, to see if she should come forward to assist. He seems affected by something for a moment.
As they day nears it's close, Tkk-tkk will look to see if there is anyplace well-suited for the caravan to stop for the night.
Having seen games die when everybody is waiting for somebody els eto post, I think this is a good thing. Plus I'm playing a character from a race that expect an explicit pecking order to form in a group, so it's okay on a character scale too.
Tkk-tkk continues circling, watching for other predators while they make sure the plants are dead.
I'm too high for hasting. Then again, it doesn't help as much when I'm doing ranged attacks.
Tkk-tkk spends a moment to gather the winds around her. She spins them about faster and faster before sending them down on one of the plants.
Tkk-tkk will remain in the air, ready to launch an air blast if the plant begins approaching the caravan. Internally, she is revolted by plants hunting.
Tkk-tkk signals the caravan and circles around the plant to support the fight from the air.
Well, we'd better make sure that doesn't happen.But what happens if somebody doesn't get around to writing the post that somebody replied to? Isn't that a paradox that can destroy all of space and time.Oh, they use fusion power for this, taken from the 24th½ century.I love the paizo forum software time machine.I wonder how much plutonium they burn each time this happens? Very true.
Normally flying characters need the same rest as walkers. If it makes a difference, my flight is the equivalent of a fly spell. I was thinking that Daqas and I would be 60' in front, 60' up and each 60' to the left or right. That way we're not too far away for support or communication. We might want each of the fliers to have a couple of colored flags. That way we could do a signal that could be seen even back at the main caravan. Maybe: Red for a monster or obviously hostile group.
We would shake the flag vigorously to show that what we find is bigger or more numerous. We can point it which direction the issue is coming from. My perception is +17 (27 with take 10)
Tkk-tkk will nod in agreement. "And we will look for good hunting to sustain us." with this she will begin pitching in to finish the packing.
I like when everybody posts their actions. Possibly with an alternate if the situation changes. The towards the end of the day the GM posts the round. Sometimes shifting initiative to make it dramatic.
She pauses to think, before continuing in Kreen "I know of no Tik-Lik, "
Børak will find that he is being watched intently for a moment. "Are you part of a clutch already? ... Or have been?"
She seems interested that he knows their writing. It's not common for soft species to know it. He seemed to understand speech, so she answers "I am Tkk-tkk" She pauses, not quite understanding the second part. "From the desert?"
Tkk-tkk will watch the exchange of gestures. Once she sees that some wouldn't work well with her hands, she puts it out of mind and turns to help load the wagons.
Hi GM, I updated Daqas's gear with the ones from the Emporium. I just kept a single magical item from PF: a traveler's any-tool set (250 gp). Is it okay? I use it for his mapmaking, but I can replace with like a mw artisan's toolkit if you prefer. Aarakocra with any any tool? I'll have to start calling you MacawGyver.
I assume that some of us will be able to hunt part of the time for our ourselves and to supplement the caravan. Daquas and I have fly speeds that should let us keep up with the caravan while foraging at half speed. With +17 survival for foraging in a desert, she should be able to feed herself and provide a little more. Daqas is similar.
"We both hunt from the sky. He flies, and I jump very well." says Tkk-Tkk. She will jump up ten feet with no effort... and not come down. She hovers there for a moment before drifting down. "From the sky we can see prey... and other hunters."
Approaching the caravan area comes an unusual pair. It's rare to see an aaracockra and thri-kreen travelling together. They land at the edge of the area and come in on foot. Neither seems to be armed with weapons beyond what they were born with. As they approach, Tkk-Tkk will buzz in their version of common. "We were hired as hunters and guards."
And now the hunt begins!
Yes. The crafting feats should have a story associated with them under the Dark Sun. Does the yes mean that we are suing ABP? And is it the base level or the no magic items level?
I think it would be just fine! My character isn’t too old or experienced either. Just what we should expect from a level 6 monk, basically. The fact she speaks Auran is a big plus! My character is lawful good as imaginable (monk/aarakocra) and worships the neutral good aarakocra goddess (from the plane of air), but it’s mostly a peaceful hunter trying to find his place in an apocalyptic world. As a soulknife (soul bolt)/soul archer, he uses his mind to generate a psionic bow that shoots psionic arrows. He’s a lot more about wild power than study. Like all aarakocra he loves shiny objects, but doesn’t really use armor or anything of the sorts. Sounds good. I'm lawful neutral, and I use air blasts and natural weapons. Maybe we could play up the carnivore angle. One of us is chasing prey that runs toward the cover of rocks. The other comes out from the rocks and finishes it off. I expect I'd be down among rocks. We both watch each other warily from a distance, but don't attack each other. Through gestures at a distance, we indicate that we'd be willing to share and draw closer. As we split the carcass, we find ourselves talking and learn each other's similarities. And then we are attacked by something wanting our meat. We fight it off and the rest is history.
Cool, that's fixed.
I have a problem with Ptokchuk. Can you choose a different spirit animal? I guess I should ask what your issue was, so that I know not to select it with my next familiar.
Well, what would you think of a thri-kreen who flies? She also speaks Auran. It wouldn't like go back that far, but they could have met recently.
