[QUOTE="Nephis, post: 9298351, member: 20459"] [I][B]TORIQ[/B] carries over some of the remaining embers of the now cleansed bonfire to light their own cooking fire a safe distance away. As she nears the site where Mylistra kneels, getting their foodstuffs ready for an evening meal, the warden notices that the witch has paused in her endeavor and is staring upward, at the branches of the surrounding trees--few though they may be. Toriq looks up as well, to see what is causing her friend such grave concern. Crows, hundreds of crows. In every tree along the edge of the clearing. Matching them stare for stare. A daunting circumstance, if one does not understand it. The halforc smiles reassuringly. "They're hungry, just like we are," she explains. "The loggers must have been chasing them off, for one thing. Or at least those machines frightened them off. For another, they--the loggers--have just about killed whatever food the crows might eat here: the berry shrubs, trees with nuts, other vegetation. And with that, the small animals and other birds (and their eggs) that also serve as nourishment." Toriq looks around for a moment, assessing the area. The crows have as much right to eat as her companions and she, but what remains? Their rations will only slightly satisfy, and surely the amount will not suffice for such a large crowd. She scans the area another moment before hitting upon a solution: those piles of cut lumber! "Keep getting our food together, but not too quickly," she murmurs to Mylistra. "Give us a little time to find something more delicious--to them, at least! That should not only occupy them enough to let us eat in peace but also--if I am correct about what I will find--make the birds view us favorably." She then gestures for her brother and their little friend to follow her, before walking over to one of the piles. Toriq then explains what she wants them to help her do. Nemo will help her push over the piles, leaving the soft earth under them easily accessible. Then, Jendi will take one of the machine arms and further loosen up the earth, thus exposing the worms, beetles, and other insects and creatures living beneath. This should not only attract the crows but satisfy them far more than anything else they can offer. When they have accomplished their tasks--leaving many creepy crawlies wriggling in the soil to entice the birds, they return to enjoy their own meal. [/I] [HR][/HR] * Toriq makes a Primary Skill Nature check to find nourishment that will satisfy the crows enough so that they will not need to steal or beg food from the party: r5+10=16 vs 13 Moderate DC. Success. [/QUOTE]
