Jack shrugs "Sure, knock yourself out" he says as he passes it to Carmen

Carmen removes the stopper and takes a swig. She swishes the liquid in her mouth a bit and tries to place the wine. She swallows and hands it back to Denton.
OOC:
Let me know if some sort of roll is required, Remnant.

Lets go with a perception test to try and place it. Feel free to switch out the characteristic to Intellect in this situation if it's beneficial.Mar 25, 2019 1:08 pm
Carmen tries to place the wine.
OOC:
Went with Average, but let me know if I need to add or subtract a purple. With 1 Advantage, maybe she notices something else potentially useful about the wine or the container it's in?Last edited March 25, 2019 1:09 pm

After a few swishes, Carmen swallows the wine. "So bizarre," she says. "Sophisticated stuff. Expensive stuff if it weren't artisanal, I think. Unfiltered, not quite pure—but wonderful. As good or better than the fancy stuff. Why was this out here in the woods? And how would a hobbyist vintner get these grapes and the equipment to make something so good?"
OOC:
Anyone have Knowledge about local landmarks and so on? Local varieties of grape? Maybe local laws on making alcohol for personal use?Last edited March 26, 2019 8:41 pm

OOC:
Revised Carmen's relation of the information to hopefully better correspond to the questions raised by the wine.

Molly raises an eyebrow at Carmen. "We are on the grounds of a family of winemakers." She tries not to smirk.

OOC:
Haha! Hazard of joining the game late. Seems this wine is some sort of clue, but Carmen (and I) are perhaps not best positioned to interpret it.Mar 27, 2019 1:02 pm
OOC:
Just realized the wine could be very old, especially if we found it near tracks that might have been left by a cannon. Does Carmen detect any hints as to its actual age (as opposed to the possible process by which it was made)?Mar 29, 2019 10:08 pm
Jack shakes his head "Can't see it being too old. These kind of things aren't exactly air tight so if it was more than a few days out of the bottle it'd be like vinegar"

"Interesting indeed..." Carmen points toward the rock outcropping. "Anyone sheltering in there, Calvin?"

While the rest of the party checks out the wine Calvin cautiously searches the outcropping for signs of inhabitants.

Calvin hears the tell tale sound of a rattling as he shines his flashlight at a snake a little closer then he's like.
OOC:
Lets get an athletics or coordination average check with a setback to move out of the strike coming at you. Don't worry it won't 'sweep your leg' unless you fail quite horribly.

Chills run down Calvin’s spine in an instant. Instinctively he jumps back away from the serpent. "ok folks, I don’t think there is anyone hiding in here. "

Calvin moves out of the range but feels a slight pull in his back from the odd sudden jump back. The snake slithers away into the night.
