now and go running around, that is one time that
you cannot become a crocodile to eat somebody’s
face off.
SUMALEE: Yes, and I would like to eat somebody’s
face off.
LIAM: Okay. I think, let us reserve that for now
because Frumpkin can do the job. Let’s get closer
to this place and it would only take five minutes.
He will go.
SAM: In owl form?
LIAM: Yeah.
SAM: Okay. He’ll only be able to see from the sky.
We should still do that, though, first.
LIAM: I mean, I could turn him back into a cat,
but then he’s slower, he can’t get over the walls maybe.
SAM: Go for it.
MARISHA: Just send the bird.
LIAM: How far have we traveled at this point?
MATT: About an hour into it, a sound catches your
ear, Keg. It catches yours as well. (growling) You
hear the faint breaking of tinder and dry branch.
ASHLY: Do I know what this is off the top or must
I make a check?
MATT: Make a straight intelligence check.
ASHLY: (singing) Ooh, that’s not going to go well
for anyone.
LIAM: Unless you roll high.
SUMALEE: 20!
LIAM: Nope.
SUMALEE and MARISHA: Oh!
SAM: Yeah, but it’s minus one.
ASHLY: So it’s zero! Did I help?
MATT: You have no idea, but it sounds unique.
LIAM: Ducks, you guys. It’s ducks.
ASHLY: We’re fine, keep going.
SAM: Oh, great!
ASHLY: But Nila also recognizes it?
MATT: You hear it as well. What’s your perception?
Your passive perception?
SUMALEE: 14.
MATT: 14. You’d actually hear it as well. You guys
all put your hands out, stop, and hold still. You
see a heavy shadow moving through the dense
forest, just south of where you are.
MARISHA: Nobody move. You want to send an owl
towards that shadow, see if Frumpkin sees what
that is?
LIAM: Ja, okay, that’s easy. I sit down on the
ground and send Frumpkin into the air.
MATT: Okay. Under a branch, Frumpkin takes some of
the low branches of these trees, underneath the
canopy and gets a look. Through Frumpkin’s eyes,
you see what looks to be a black bear, but black
bears that you’ve seen in passing before have
been, maybe, eight feet, ten feet end to end. This
one’s closer to 15 and about ten feet to shoulder.
Its fur is long and matted, almost greasy in
patches. At the shoulders and the elbows and
ridges on its face, you see bone protrusions, like spikes.
MARISHA: Those were the bone spikes.
