SUMALEE: Yes. I have–
MATT: Yes you do, because you’re Circle of the
Shepherd.
SUMALEE: Whew!
MARISHA: You got this!
SUMALEE: I was like, “I set this all up and then
I’m not going to be able to talk to the bird!”
LIAM: She’s an Iron Shepherd, kill her!
MATT: You get to mark off one of your 1st-level
spells. As you ask the bird, the bird returns–
and you guys hear her whistle to the bird, and the
bird whistles back quite a bit, this beautiful
song that plays. The bird conveys to you, “Far,
far before my time.”
SUMALEE: It says it’s been this way a long time.
MARISHA: Wow. I mean, how long is long for a bird
though?
SAM: They only live for three weeks, right? That’s

MARISHA: Dagon can live to be 30. She’s going to
outlive us all.
LIAM: Would you like to ask it what is dangerous

ASHLY: The bird’s a party member now.
MATT: It lasts for ten minutes.
MARISHA: Ooh, yeah.
SAM: How far are we from the Mardun house? I don’t
know if the bird is going to know–
SUMALEE: I don’t think the the bird would know the
Mardun house.
SAM: Well, we can describe it: red wood house.
MARISHA: Mansion!
SAM: Red wood mansion.
SUMALEE: Oh, all right.
MARISHA: Northwestish.
SUMALEE: I’d like to send the bird, mentally, the
picture of what that bird’s eye view would be and
to see if the bird has seen that.
MATT: Okay, you focus and express mentally and
through small verbal gestures towards it the idea
of this color and this shape. Immediately the bird
(flapping) takes off.
MARISHA and SAM: (gasp) Follow the bird.
MATT: You guys all start keeping up and jogging
behind it. You watch as it goes (flapping) and it
lands on a post, lands on a little roof, looks
back at you, (whistling) (flapping) and it’s
