Re: Masters of the Wild IC
As you bed down for the night, Caspar decides to take 3rd watch instead of 2nd and Glim takes the rest after Ravenor.
As all but Ravenor climb into their bedrolls, smoke flows gently out of the pleasantly warm cavern as the small fire dwindles. The warmth against your back feels so good, you eyelids are so heavy, the cool air from outside is soothing and whispering of deep and comfortable sleep- you drift off into sweet and blissful dreams.
Glim wakes up around midnight, wondering why Ravenor didn't wake him up an hour ago. But when you see his sleeping form, thumb in mouth and a look of comfort on his face, a smile comes to your face. You drape your small cloak over his form as you keep watch through the darkness, the sliver of moonlight illuminating as your keen eyes roam the darkness. Nothing but a few woodland creatures wander around the small cave, and after a couple hours, you wake up Caspar to take his watch.
Caspar sits at watch.Spoiler: OOCWhismur, make your Perception roll.See that cool Teifling? Thanks, potatopeelerkin! If you want something like it, they have more avatars up for adoption in the thread with the same name...

Re: Masters of the Wild IC
As Caspar sits in the early morning, when the sun has not yet awoken, when he s alone with his thoughts and the crackle of firelight, he hears sounds of twigs snapping in the forest ahead. He snaps to attention and looks out into the darkness.
He spots what appears to be a large, rotund creature walking on all fours, a coat of feathers over its body around a decidedly avian face. This creature is smaller, as even with its bulk it stand barely up to your chin at most. The creature looks at you with deep brown eyes and coos once.
What would you like to do?
Spoiler: DC 15 NatureThis is indeed an immature owlbear. It's not very dangerous, but there might be a mother to contend with. It's possible to train this to make it a mount, ally, pet, or beast of burden, but that would only further aggravate the mother.See that cool Teifling? Thanks, potatopeelerkin!

Re: Masters of the Wild IC
Caspar holds still as an unwelcmed visitor comes into their camp. He didn't see any reason to be violent with a beast which, despite its odd appearance, seemed to only be curious. No doubt guided here by the fire, he surmised. He stood up slowly and kept his body small and low to the ground, not wanting to startle the creature. He walked over towards the creature equally slowly, holding up his empty hands. "It's okay, I won't hurt you.
But I don't think you should be here." His voice was smooth, and the tones were flat and focused. He hoped his body language was enough to encourage it to leave, but if he could get close enough, some magic would be more than enough to get the message across for him.
SpoilerAnimal Handling; (1d20)[6] to convince the creature to leave peacefully, but I still have Hypnotic Gaze in my back pocket if things go south.

Re: Masters of the Wild IC
Despite your intentions, the young creature's eyes widen as it comes closer to the campsite. Despite your tone and body language, this bear-owl hybrid comes closer before putting four paws on your chest and staring at your face, a small tongue emerging from the beak to lick you. It goes back to all fours as it begins to whimper, looking back out into the darkness. The whimpering begins to increase in volume. At this point, most of you can hear the whimpering as you begin to wake up.

Re: Masters of the Wild IC
"What's going on?" Glim groans, then he stands up and looks at the source of the noise.He realizes what it is and sees it whimpering and glancing back into the forest. "There's something out there, either mama owlbear or something else. We need to quite this little beast down." He fishes some dried meat from his trail rations and offers it to the creature while gently shushing and trying to calm the creature.

Re: Masters of the Wild IC
Tek blearily opens his eyes, expecting to take his watch only to find the others waking and a strangely feathered beast whimpering next to Caspar. As Glim says something about quieting it down, Tek reaches for his bow. He fumbles with an arrow before realizing what the smaller gnome meant and sheepishly sets his weapons aside. "Y'said there's more?" he offers as he starts to stand up out of his bedroll. "I dunno if I hear 'nything..."
Spoiler: OOCPerception: Voluntary disadvantage for not only just waking up, but the whimpering of the young and the sounds of others waking up.

Re: Masters of the Wild IC
"Oh, wait aaaHUAA-" Tek's interrupted by a yawn, "Ahem, right. Uh, somethin's comin'. Bit big, tramplin' through the brush. I'd say a couple minutes out at this pace, but that can change damn fast, I think." As if hearing his own words from someone else the realization of their situation dawns on him and his eyes go wide. He picks up his bow again and says, "Uh, Glim, you able to take this cub on outta here?"

Re: Masters of the Wild IC
Ravenor wakes up, looking at the cub near Caspar. He tries to focus on his surrounding, trying to see if he can hear or see something else. He stands up. "Look sharp people, whatever might come, we have to be ready".

Re: Masters of the Wild IC
As you extend the jerky, Glim, the cub immediately snaps it out of you hands with its beak, then stands on its hind legs and moves its front two up and down with a joyous expression on its face- a happy dance. It lets out a large coo into the dark woods as it puts its paws on your low shoulders. You hear Tek's cry of alarm right before a mournful sound echoes through the woods, one a combination of a bear's roar and a owl's cry. The cub freezes, climbs off Glim, and looks back into the dark woods before turning back to Glim with a curious expression.
Ravenor catches none of this while he wipes the sleep from his eyes and picks up his trusty blade.
Spoiler: Nature DC 12It seems the owlbear cub has taken a liking to Glim, which may help or hinder you when the mother arrives (the creature who let out the second call). If you had any intentions to take the beast as a pet, Glim would be the one it looks up to the most among you until someone cares for it better or for longer.See that cool Teifling?

Re: Masters of the Wild IC
"What is it?" Faye straightens up to an elbow and looks about the camp.
As she sees Tek and Ravenor up in alarm and armed, she jumps to her feet in a smooth movement, taking a defensive stance. Then she notices Glim and Caspar at the cave entrance, facing the source of the whimpering sound which must have roused her from her sleep. She relaxes, her face brightening. "How cute!" she exclaims in delight. "Look, Glim, it really likes you!"
The sudden alien call cutting through the night hushes her instantly.
"Whatever that was, it sounded close," she whispers after a pause. "We should wake the others." She kneels down to softly shake up everyone who is still sleeping.Last edited by Rogue227; 2018-11-09 at 02:23 AM.

"We have a visitor." She nods over her shoulder towards the pup.
"He seems quite harmless. But there's something out in the woods sounding less pleasant. And it's coming."

Re: Masters of the Wild IC
Elmir has woken up, but has been silent so far. "Can't tell if that was a bear, or an owl, or what." He peers into the darkness toward the sound.

Re: Masters of the Wild IC
Impatient as always, Tek feels the the rush of a possible fight coming on and decides to set himself up before being ambushed. He takes his bow and quiver, as well as one of his shortswords, and flies up into the branches of a tree overlooking their cave-camp.
Spoiler: OOCI'm just positioning in case this goes poorly. No readied Actions as of yet.

Re: Masters of the Wild IC
As you try and dart out of the way of the cub, it makes a playful swipe at you, seemingly without hostile intentions, as it lets out a coo. It looks at you with mirth in its eyes.
Meanwhile, another low and alien cry echoes though the dark woods... 50 seconds.

Re: Masters of the Wild IC
Faye kneels beside her sleeping place and produces several torches from her backpack. She moves over to the campfire and holds them into it in order to enkindle them. "Maybe fire will keep it off."
She passes on a burning torch to anyone willing to accept. Keeping one for herself, she goes about setting up any remaining torches in the ground in front of the cave entrance.
"Glim, can you throw a treat to lure the pup away? If it's mommy furbird approaching, she probably won't bear anyone around her baby."
Spoiler: OOC
Faye has ten torches and will take as many from her backpack as she can handle at once.
Hopefully, the ground in front of the cave is soft enough to set up the torches... if not, Faye will simply lay them out in a circle.

Re: Masters of the Wild IC
"I'll try, but odds are it comes right back here afterward." Glim takes out another piece of dried meat, shows it to the cub, and then tosses it as far as his tiny arms will throw. He then casts mage armor on himself. "If that doesn't work, I can try cub noise illusions to lure away the mother, but I'll have to go out into the woods a good distance myself if I want it to not notice this place."

Re: Masters of the Wild IC
As you expect, it goes out to fetch the meat, then comes right back and puts its paws on your shoulders, licking your face. Faye, the ground has been moistened by the recent rain and is most certainly supple enough to drive torches into the ground. You spend about 20 seconds to drive the torches into the ground and lighting them. The snapping of twigs grows closer, and another cry echoes through the forest.

Re: Masters of the Wild IC
Seeing faye's work, Elmir pulls out wood from the area (presumably from anything used to tend any campfires) and casts druidcraft until it manages to stay lit. "Glim, see if you can make it really happy. At least since it won't leave."
Spoiler: OOCI haven't seen it mentioned, but I'm assuming the characters have brought up their names by now.

Re: Masters of the Wild IC
At the edge of the clearing, Tek spots a lumbering figure, easily twice the height of the cub, charging at a quick pace through the trees, bounding over the roots and rocks of the forest below. Meanwhile, the ring of fire has just been set up between you and the mother outside. You have maybe ten seconds before it comes up to the ring, if that.

Re: Masters of the Wild IC
Elmir has his shield out, and the other hand ready to cast. Chunks of the pelt almost seem to float away from him in the firelight.
