Chapter One: The Iron Sphere of Sthombo

A shorebird? This deep in the forest? That doesn't make sense. Felor furrowed his brow.
"Aye, something's not right here," he says to the rest of the party. "I swear I just heard a bird call that has no place in this neck of the woods. Just off to the west. Sounded like maybe... A greater cliffgull? That or a spotted fisher I'd say. They're easily confused. They look completely different of course but the calls are nigh-on identical."
Felor gets momentarily lost in a reverie about a time he caught a fat sea trout and cooked it on the beach with some gulls eggs before a thought strikes him.
"But... You don't suppose that's a signal of some sort? From whoever it is those buggers were supposed to meet?"

"A signal? What do you mean?"

OOC: Vad isn't really the outdoors type.

"I mean it might be our man out there making the noise, waiting for his men to signal back."

"Ah, I hadn't thought of that", Vad says, realizing that he hadn't thought of that.

"Shall we attempt to signal him back?"

"I can be quite adapt at mimicking sounds, if you would like me to call back." Tzipporah posed to the others

"Aye, you go ahead lass. It's worth a try."

Cupping her hands around her mouth Tzipporah leans her head back to the sky and attempts to mimic the call.

I used performance for this but if I can use deception add +2 to the roll.

Rolls

Performace Check - (1d20+5)

(13) + 5 = 18

Performance Check Advantage - (1d20+5)

(17) + 5 = 22

Tzipporah makes a pretty convincing answering call. There's a long pause, and then the call from the west repeats. It almost seems...hesitant this time.

(Why do you get Performance advantage? Not doubting it, just wondering)

I actually asked the same thing in the other thread

[Actor Feat says You gain advantage on deception and performance checks to impersonate someone else, you can imitate the sounds or speech of another creature, and you gain +1 Cha. It could be interrupted two different ways I suppose. If you say no advantage then disregard the second die result. I good with it either way.]

No it's good. I was guessing it was a background thing.

Apr 15, 2015 4:42 pm

[I probably should stated it when I made the roll. Just to avoid confusion. Will do in the future]

Who wants to make a Perception check?

Apr 15, 2015 5:33 pm

Felor listens to the second bird call.

Rolls

Perception skill check - (1d20+2)

(16) + 2 = 18

Apr 15, 2015 5:35 pm

The call repeats again, and to Felor's ear it sounds a little closer this time.

Apr 15, 2015 5:37 pm

Tzipporah calls out again. Putting some force behind it this time.

Rolls

Performace Check - (1d20+5)

(1) + 5 = 6

Performance Check Advantage - (1d20+5)

(20) + 5 = 25

"I think he's getting closer" Felor mutters in lowered voice. "We best get ready to receive our guest."
Felor unshoulders his shield and positions himself behind a section of wall inside the longhouse, ready to ambush the "bird" as if he enters the longhouse.

Where is everybody positioned? Is anyone looking outside?
