least you get the sense that there is at least a
symbiotic relationship with some wildlife in the
bit of the forest you’ve been in.
SUMALEE: I’d love to take one of my goodberries to
draw one of the birds and see if I might talk with
it and see if it could tell us anything about
before.
MATT: Make an animal handling check.
SAM: Ooh, what is this? Druid stuff.
SUMALEE: 12 plus seven. 19.
MATT: As you hold the goodberry out, which, with
your arm length, is a good nine, nine and a half
feet up towards the lower hanging branches, and
you (bird song) give a little counterwhistle to
the sound of one of the birds you hear. You hear a
retort (bird whistle) and you return it (bird
whistle), and then it returns (bird whistle,
flutter), and then down onto the edge of your hand
you see this tiny little blackbird with a white
stripe that goes down the edge of each wing. It–
(chirping)– and starts eating the goodberry,
messing the edge of its beak.
LIAM: – giant shitty rooster.
ASHLY: (squawk)
MATT: It’s eating the goodberry. What would you
like to do?
SUMALEE: What would we like to ask it?
SAM: First thing that pops into my mind is do you
know Kiri, but I don’t think that’s relevant.
MARISHA: You have to stop thinking that all people
who look like each other know everybody.
SAM: Don’t they though?
MARISHA: No!
SAM: All right. Maybe, “How long has this curse
been here? How long has the forest been
"spooky-ooky?”
MARISHA: Do they know how much further the
Marduns’ keep is?
SAM: Are there any monsters out there?
SUMALEE: That’s too much, one at a time! How long
has the forest been like this?
MATT: Are you using a spell or are you using your
firbolg ability?
SUMALEE: Oh, I’m using my firbolg ability.
MATT: That allows you to speak to animals.
SUMALEE: Oh yes, I have to use a spell. Sorry.
Wait, which one is it?
LIAM and SAM: Wait.
SUMALEE: Do you know which one it is?
MARISHA and LIAM: Speak with Animals.
SUMALEE: Speech of the woods!
ASHLY: Nila’s just staring at this bird.
MATT: Speech of the woods is your firbolg
ability.
SUMALEE: Oh. I know I have it.
MATT: If you look on your spell list, the cards
you have prepared, do you have Speak with Animals prepared?
SUMALEE: I know I have it. Oh, it’s because I
chose my Spirit Totem.
MATT: Oh right. Because you’re Shepherd.
