Taking the liberty to roll survival checks for everyone

It’s still pretty early in the morning as you start your trek towards Lance Rock. The sun is out and you think it might get really warm again in the afternoon, but there’s a pretty strong wind blowing through the trees which cools you down pleasantly. The directions given by Kaylessa has been very good and it seems like the way towards Lance Rock is fairly straightforward.

Your journey is pleasant and uneventful for the first couple of hours, then suddenly in a forest clearing you see something that makes you stop.

A weathered human skull, jaw sagging, is pinned to the trunk of a tree ahead by a big black arrow protruding from one of the skulls eye sockets. There seems to be a bit of black parchment wrapped around the arrow.

Vanri is going to want to source some tinker and smith tools eventually, But it can wait for now. Unless DM Warner’s that Thieves’ tools don’t count for Artificer spellcasting, then I need them before we go.

Welsh walks up to the skull, starting at it in a mix of disgust and fascination. "Ew...that's gross." He unties the parchment, retrieving it, and leaving the skull hanging on the tree. He unrolls the parchment and begins to read.

OOC:

Oops, I'ma let you retcon before going any further. :)

OOC:

I’ll allow you to use thieves tools, then you can source the other tools when you get back to Red Larch

You unroll the parchment and read:

" The Last Laugh

You'll be next!

Valklondar"

Welsh reads it out loud, then looks around. "Huh...that name mean anything to anyone?"

Jul 14, 2020 8:19 pm

Aukan shrugs his shoulders, "Nope. Seems like fun man".

OOC:

'Nope probably someone who thinks too much of themselves.'

OOC:

I think ToDream was out of town this week, so I’ll roll an arcana check for Vanri

Vanri approaches the tree and holds her hand over the skull and the arrow. "Not the skull...but the arrow...it has been marked, not quite a curse and not quite a blessing.... Vanri, you feel like it has imprinted in Welsh after he touched it to remove the note. The energy doesn’t seem to be dangerous.

Ooof, terribly sorry to do this on a nat 20...

You only see more forest, there doesn't seem to be anything else of note nearby.

Aukan the Fearless

Aukan had been looking down over Welsh the Satyr's shoulder and humphed saying, "Yes weird... such an informal message declaring such a challenge. You would think they would properly identify themselves. They must not be proud of who they are nor from whence they came. One would think that such an insignificant person would not make such a bold challenge."

He pauses then wonders out loud, "So should we take these items back to town perhaps someone knows whom this message was meant for as there does not seem to be anyone out here to receive it?"
