<Bunton> "Straal? You okay?"
<Bunton> "You went silent there for a while."
<Snowshoe> She coughs, then shakes her head. "Yeah, fine, sorry. I wasn't there when they picked it up, couldn't tell you what the rat looked like."
<Bunton> "Hm... well, no great worry"
<Snowshoe> She's still got her hand out, waiting for her bow.
<Bunton> Ninny looks over to the kettle, which has now been on the fire for a few minutes.
<Bunton> "Want some tea?"
<Bunton> Ninny is still absent-mindedly holding the bow.
<Snowshoe> "Depends on what's in it. Can I have that back?"
<Bunton> "Hm? Oh, this."
<Bunton> He hands it back.
<Bunton> "Well, have you ever had devil's blood?"
<Bunton> "If yes, you probably won't want to try this."
<Snowshoe> "I think I'll pass, thanks."
<Bunton> "Well, up to you."
<Bunton> Ninny pours a liquid from the kettle into a mug.
<Bunton> The liquid is dark red, and pulsing.
<Snowshoe> "Are you /sure/ that's tea?"
<Bunton> "It's... something resemling tea."
<Bunton> Ninny adds a teabag and stirs. It takes some effort to make the liquid move.
<Bunton> After a few moments he takes the teabag and spoon out. The spoon is heavily corroded.
<Bunton> "Bottom's up, as I believe they say."
<Snowshoe> Straal weighs whether or not Ninny's death would really be a bad thing.
<Bunton> He attempts to drink.
<Snowshoe> "I think you should pr-"
<Bunton> "Oh!
<Bunton> *"
<Bunton> "Oh no!"
<Bunton> "I forgot to add milk."
<Bunton> Ninny realises he doesn't have any milk.
<Snowshoe> "You should probably not drink that."
<Bunton> "Erm... oh. Oh well."
<Vivax> (There are udders in the walls)
<Vivax> (JK)
<Bunton> Ninny puts the mug to his mouth and tries to drink.
<Snowshoe> Straal sighs.
<Vivax> It tastes awful.
<Vivax> Like sulfurous Earl Grey.
<Vivax> It's also salty.
<Bunton> Ninny swivels it around in his mouth and tilts his head.
<Bunton> ~Eh. I've had worse.~
<Vivax> Do you swallow?
<Bunton> Yes.
<Vivax> Fort
<Snowshoe> Straal scoots away from Ninny.
<Bunton> (One sec...)
<Bunton> 1d20+2
<CROM> Bunton: 13 (1d20+2=11)
<Vivax> Ninny passes out for about 30 seconds.
<Vivax> And wakes up with a hangover.
<Bunton> "Eurghhh..."
<Bunton> Ninny groggily gets up and steadies himself, with some effort.
<Bunton> He then takes another sip.
<Snowshoe> Straal walks away.
<Vivax> Fort save Bunton
<Vivax> :|
<Bunton> 1d20+2
<CROM> Bunton: 10 (1d20+2=8)
<Vivax> You pass out /again/
<Vivax> When you awaken the room is moving.
<Vivax> And your hangover is just as strong as before.
<Bunton> Ninny awakens, grunting and screaming.
<Bunton> He clutches his head as the world spins.
<Vivax> G: "Ninny..."
<Bunton> After a while, he finds his mug.
<Vivax> George waddles up.
<Bunton> 1d20+2
<CROM> Bunton: 17 (1d20+2=15)
<Vivax> You /pass/ this time.
<Vivax> G: "You should stop doing that."
<Bunton> "Well... you're a dwarf!"
<Bunton> "You can't tell me what to do!"
<Vivax> "It's /me/ Ninny"
<Vivax> George nuzzles.
<Bunton> "I KNOW IT'S YOU, TABLE."
<Bunton> "That's what I just /said/."
<Bunton> Ninny lies down/
<Vivax> George discreetly takes the mug and dumps it out outside.
<Vivax> George returns to cuddle.
<Bunton> Ninny finds an empty journal.
<Bunton> He attempts to drink from it.
<Vivax> You fail!
<Bunton> "Oh, hello George."
<Bunton> Ninny cuddles.
<Vivax> G: "Hello"
* Vivax George snakes around Ninny.
<Vivax> G: "It's just like your Ole' Uncle Gangles says Nin. Wait for your liver to work"
<Bunton> Ninny thinks for a second.
<Bunton> "Didn't Gangles die of alcohol poisoning?"
<Vivax> G: "No. Treason."
<Bunton> "Oh yeah."
<Bunton> "What did he do, again?"
<Vivax> G: "Um...Stole Scythian state secrets. Very alliterative crime."
<Bunton> "Oh yeah."
<Bunton> *N:
<Bunton> N: "But he did know how to throw a brunch."
<Vivax> G: "Wouldn't know...never got invited."
<Bunton> "Well... dad was always scared of you."
<Bunton> "I mean, it's not your appearance."
<Bunton> "He always found that very endearing."
<Bunton> "He was just afraid the police would burst in, see you, and arrest us all."
<Bunton> "Much better to give the police nothing to see when they bursted in."
<Vivax> G: "Is that why everything was always covered in blankets?
<Bunton> "That too."
<Bunton> *N:
<Bunton> N: "But it was also because mum's half-step-sister was afraid of the colour grey."
<Vivax> G: "Ohhhh"
<Vivax> G: "That explains the sweater incident"
<Bunton> "Yeah... George, I still don't want to talk about that."
<Bunton> "I've just gotten over the night terrors."
<Bunton> "Why would she put an owl there anyway?"
<Vivax> G:
<Vivax> "Dramatic effect?"
<Bunton> N: "Maybe..."
<Bunton> N: "Anyway, how are you holding up?"
<Bunton> N: "You got hurt pretty bad last night."
<Vivax> G: "Spell healed me right back up, but I don't want to fight one of dem wolves again"
<Bunton> N: "It was pretty scary, yes. Shame that some creatures can't just coexist with... well..."
<Bunton> N: "Others."
<Bunton> N: "I still think we should have just run. Spared both us and the wolf."

<CROM> Bunton: 21 (1d20+8=13)
<Vivax> Since you just fought the thing (and you have common sense) you realize the only person who could outrun the wolf would have been Straal.
<Vivax> And given the thing's nose and "frost breath of doom" running would have been a painful proposition, if not a lethal one.
<Bunton> "Well... running probably wouldn't have helped, on second thought."
<Bunton> "But at least we left it alive and nobody died."
<Bunton> "Speaking of which..."
<Bunton> Ninny looks over at Straal.
<Bunton> "Did anyone manage to bring those deer from before?"
<Bunton> "I'm getting a bit hungry."
<Snowshoe> "I think everyone was a bit busy running for their lives. We brought trail rations."
<Vivax> (You could hunt)
<Bunton> "Hm... we should prbably go get them soon."
<Bunton> "Before scavengers come along."
<Bunton> "Though... I'd certainly be interested in oberving the local fauna."
<Snowshoe> "If they've been laying out there bleeding and laying in a pool of vomit for a day or two, I don't think I want to eat them."
<Bunton> "But we'd need bait, and that means we'd need spare- hm?"
<Bunton> "Well, speak for yourself!"
<Bunton> "But I need an extra pair of... claws, to bring them in in as few trips as possible."
<Bunton> "Mind helping?"
<Snowshoe> d20+11 that flower thing from the other day
<CROM> Snowshoe: that flower thing from the other day: 29 (d20+11=18)
<Vivax> The flower looks like one that will only grow in moist areas in shade. The flower could be used as an indicator that water is near. The flower's shape may be used to catch insects...
<Bunton> "Hey, what's that?"
<Bunton> "It looks delicious."
<Snowshoe> "You don't get to eat it."
<Bunton> "Aww...
<Bunton> *"
<Vivax> Your fingers itch, the flower may be producing some kind of irritant or poison.
<Vivax> If properly prepared it could be medicinal...
<Snowshoe> Any guesses as to what it might do, medicinally?
<Vivax> It may help with snakebites...or serve as a contraceptive.
<Bunton> "Straal?"
<Snowshoe> "Hm?"
<Bunton> "The deer, remember?"
<Bunton> "..."
<Vivax> (50000 deer run past at the speed of sound)
<Vivax> (Boom)
<Bunton> Ninny wanders out the door with George.
<Vivax> Ninny finds a possum skull.
<Bunton> Ninny stops.
<Vivax> It glitters.
<Vivax> So very skully
<Bunton> Ninny picks the skull up.
<Bunton> He gives it to George to taste.
<Vivax> G: "Skull flavored. Skull and dirt."
<Vivax> 'After taste of woe...and magic"
<Bunton> "Woe?"
<Bunton> "Oh dear."
<Bunton> Ninny puts the skull away in his satchel and continues on.
<Bunton> He is at this point near the clearing where the battle happened/
<Vivax> One carcass has been dragged off by a large animal.
<Vivax> The other is covered in ravens.
<Bunton> Ninny tries to scare off the ravens.
<Vivax> *Caw!* *Caw!*
<Vivax> *Caw?*
<Bunton> "Um... caw!"
<Vivax> *Caw!!*
<Bunton> "Caw?"
<Vivax> The ravens are...oddly okay with you.
<Bunton> Ninny tilts his head.
<Bunton> "Geeeooorge."
<Vivax> One of the ravens tilt's it's head back.
<Vivax> G: "Yes?"
<Bunton> "Er... nevermind."
<Bunton> Ninny approaches the carrcass and takes off a slice of meat.
<Vivax> The ravens let you pass.
<Vivax> They look at you curiously.
<Bunton> He then heads to a nearby push, places the slice a good bit in front of it, and sits down to observe it.
<Vivax> *Caw!?* *Caw?* *Caw...*
<Bunton> "George, if you see any ravens go for it, scare them off."
<Bunton> "Anything else, let be."
<Vivax> The one raven lands on George.
<Vivax> It looks into his eyes. *Caw?*
<Bunton> *bush
<Vivax> Another raven breaks off and flutters toward the meat.
<Snowshoe> Straal looks out the entrance to the ruins, towards the treeline. Look safe?
<Vivax> 1d20 George tries to scare!
<CROM> Vivax: George tries to scare!: 1 (1d20=1)
<Vivax> George purrs.
<Bunton> Ninny tries to scare it off.
<Vivax> Intimidate check!
<Vivax> Snow: Perception!
<Bunton> 1d20+3

<CROM> Snowshoe: applying favored terrain: 27 (d20+11=16)
<Vivax> SnowShoe: Seems legit.
<Vivax> Bunton: You do your best impression of your Grandmother.
<Vivax> You are /scary as hell/1
<Vivax> !
<Bunton> Ninny contorts his face and screeches.
<Bunton> "RZXRRGGGH".
<Bunton> "ZZXRGGH".
<Vivax> The raven hops back as a few of them flutter dramatically.
<Bunton> Ninny goes back to hide behind his bush.
<Vivax> But when you finish...they land in a circle around you.
<Vivax> And look up at you expectantly.
<Bunton> He stops as he observes the ravens.
<Bunton> N: "What?"
<Vivax> *Caw?* unison headtilt.
<Bunton> "..."
<Bunton> Ninny repeats himself in Oroo.
<Bunton> "What?"
<Vivax> (give me a handle animal)
<Vivax> The ravens caw again.
<Snowshoe> Straal enters the trees, watching for anything frosty or wolfy.
<Bunton> 1d20+7
<CROM> Bunton: 25 (1d20+7=18)
<Vivax> These ravens are clearly tame. Your screeching may have sounded like a command to them.
<Bunton> Ninny thinks.
<Vivax> Straal enters the woods.
<Vivax> The light filters down to the understory.
<Bunton> He starts speaking carefully and slowly in infernal.
<Vivax> You see a bats darting about in the dusk.
<Vivax> *bat
<Bunton> {What do you want from me?}
<Vivax> *Caw!!*
<Snowshoe> Straal heads for a sturdy looking tree and sits with her back to it.
<Snowshoe> ~So...~
<Vivax> Straal finds the hell out of a tree.
<Vivax> One of the ravens gets closer to Ninny and pecks at his hand.
<Vivax> Gently.
<Bunton> Ninny stares.
<Bunton> "...George, what's going on?"
<Vivax> 1d20 What /is/ going on?
<CROM> Vivax: What /is/ going on?: 13 (1d20=13)
<Vivax> G: "Pets?"
<Bunton> N: "Maybe... but..."
<Bunton> N: "Whose?"
<Vivax> G: "Ravens for the Ravens?"
<Bunton> "Perhaps..."
<Bunton> "I'm still not sure if the ravens are even humanoids."
<Bunton> "Maybe these /are/ the Ravens."
<Bunton> "Hrm."
<Vivax> *Caw!*
<Bunton> "Caw indeed."
<Vivax> Some of them flap off to the carcass.
<Vivax> Perception check.

<Vivax> Bunton: You see a significantly larger raven up in the trees. It's the size of a small human.
<Bunton> Ninny looks up.
