Doors and Shadows (5e Game)

["...From beyond the sea? Who do you mean?]

As the others leave to go looking around the wreckage, Ty decides he is feeling well enough to indulge his curiosity, abd follows as he asks his questions. Everything about the wreck seems weird and new but also sort of vaguely familiar at the same time... He wonders why.

As they walk, he keeps his eyes open for anything useful that he recognises, since he has no idea what would be considered "useful" to his new friends.

Oh for...

I'm spending my inspiration for a do-over!

Perception: 1D20+6 = [10]+6 = 16

TYPHOS

You emerge from the boat and also notice the sea colored pack that the others do.
The sand near the buried section of the rowboat also appears disturbed, as if there might be more buried there.

[Quarg]

["...From beyond the sea? Who do you mean?]

(I am basing this on slowly remembering her deep memories based on the comment in OOC If I am going too far tell me.)

Fal slows for a moment. [My mother's house...I should say House...The House of the Hydra...but they are...elves...yes elves...]

When Fal sees the black bird she waves and calls "Ahoy...[Greeting Sailor]..."

[thinkslogically]

"oh. I don't know what that means, but it sounds important! Oh! I think... Look! That matches my colours!"

Ty hurries over to the nice-looking pack and pulls it out of the sand. Then, he will dig around to see what else might be down there.

((Is the elf wearing a lightning badge as well?))

[Draco Ex Machina]

((Yes, the elf is also wearing a badge, though you haven't explicitly noticed it yet.

Just so you know. I'm going to wait till more people have posted again before another update though.))

[spiderwrangler]

Trill turns, raising her crossbow until she sees the same colored uniform she's wearing... lowering it cautiously, she points at her clothing, and points at theirs. As long as they don't respond aggressively, she keeps an eye on them and sidles over to the shiny.

[thinkslogically]

Ty looks up with curiosity when the elf shouts at someone new.

"Oh, another bird! Are you with these people? Do you know what happened?"

[spiderwrangler]

Trill speaks up... in the elf woman's voice, "Ahoy."

She shrugs to indicate that she doesn't know anything.

[thinkslogically]

Ty cocks his head and begins to feel his headache returning...

"You sound a lot like her..." He says to the elf.

He decides to focus on digging for now, and then will look through all the stuff he's found.

[Quarg]

(Oh hell...)

When Fal first sees the crossbow her hand starts to move upward based on pure muscle motion as she narrows her eyes at the apparent threat appearing nearby. When the bird creature lowers the crossbow Fal's arm pauses.

Hearing her voice echoed back to her by the bird creature, she seems to pause and asks, "Who are you?". Her mind beginning to think this creature either is a threat, or needs to learn some manners....

Insight: 1D20+3 = [7]+3 = 10 ((Into why the creature before her might be saying thinks back with her own words...))

[spiderwrangler]

"Like her.", Trill bobs her head agreement... sounding an awful lot like the green guy.

((I will continue referring to her as such, but bird sex isn't real obvious in most species without strong dimorphism, so Trill probably can't be distinguished as a she.))

When questioned by the elf as to who she is, Trill gives off a warbling series of notes that increase in pitch and points at herself.

[thinkslogically]

((I said she because you spoke with a female voice first; if you'd copied Max or ty I would have said he. 'it' seems rude when you're right there.))

Ty looks up when he hears a voice similar to his.

"Huh... How many voices do you have? I wonder if I can do that..."

Ty waits for an answer of some form and then tries copying the others' voices.

He eventually decides that no, that's probably not one of his skills.

[spiderwrangler]

((Oh, I was just saying in general, not calling you out or anything, just something I'd been thinking about but hadn't posted anything in reference to. ))

"I can do that... many voices. Who are you?", Trill responds, splicing together some of the green guy's words with the elf's question from earlier.

[Arch Lich Burns]

"Ah greetings feathered breathern! Calm down my elven friend! It's another one we should help, not attack or abandon!"

Int for knowledge of other birdfolk: Int: 1D20-2 = [11]-2 = 9

► Show Spoiler

sorry, not feeling too well...

[spiderwrangler]

"Ah greetings..", Trill says, bobbing her head at the other feathered fellow, and odd expression on her face.

[thinkslogically]

"I am... I...don't know. I think I came from the sea, and then this large bird rescued me. The pink one is from beyond the sea, but I am sure I am from IN the sea. I think.

Are you family? You are different shapes, but your colours are very alike."

[Quarg]

Fal dropped her stance when the bird introduced herself in her native tongue...well bird song anyway. She sits down for a moment and listens.."I am from an island in the sea...are you claiming your Merfolk?" Fall asks...

[thinkslogically]

"Merrrfolk... I... Hmmm... I don't know. Do they come from in the sea?"

[spiderwrangler]

"Not family... colours... different." Trill points at her black feathers and skin, at the majestic specimen of birdman before her, and at the elf.

"Colours very alike... not... abandon...", Trill says in their voices, pointing at the green, black and silver clothing herself and two of the others.

[thinkslogically]

"oh." He thinks a moment.

"...But my colours are different and this one did not leave me..." He points to Max.

[spiderwrangler]

Trill glances at the tall birdman, then looks away, scratching at the sand as she shrugs. Suddenly remembering the shiny, and with the others seemingly not a threat, she goes to dig it out of the sand.

[Arch Lich Burns]

Max looks at the green one "Hah! I should hope we are not family! We are two different types! Of course I would not abandon you, you were hurt and leaving a person in such a state would be bad!"

ah that was my mistake, I thought i saw Trill as male earlier.

[Quarg]

"Merrrfolk... I... Hmmm... I don't know. Do they come from in the sea?"

"If the stories the old sailors told were right they were either angelic beauties of the sea, or its hell hounds out for the blood of every landlubber they could scrag."

Somewhere in the back of Fel's mind she recalls that Merrfolk don't like her family for some reason...apparently one of her Grandfather's many 'ventures'

[thinkslogically]

"...well... Do I look like that? I don't think I want blood..."

Deciding that Fall seems slightly scary, he'll edge a little closer to Max instead and ask:

"What's angelic, hell, a hound, a landubr and... Scrag?

[Quarg]

"...well... Do I look like that? I don't think I want blood..."

Deciding that Fall seems slightly scary, he'll edge a little closer to Max instead and ask:

Fal shrugs, "I've never met any...that I can remember...just the old stories that old sailors used to tell around the hearth to little girls hiding from their nanny.

((OOC: Fal is a 6'2" elvish beauty remember...she's not scary...just mysterious... ))
