Cooking (WIS)
Cooking Skill is used to make meals that offer an array of bonuses to those who eat them.
Check
A Cooking Skill check takes 1-4 hours, depending on the type of meal being prepared. At the end of the time spent cooking, a Cooking check is made. The DC of the meal must be met or exceeded, or the meal will be ruined. Depending on how well the skill check was made, the quality of the meal is determined, which affects how much a meal can sell for. There are two types of meal, simple meals and complex meals. Simple meals take only an hour to prepare and make. Complex meals take 1d4 hours to prepare and cook, with certain higher tier dishes requiring more time. While it is not necessary, it is recommended that each meal is prepared with Herbs & Spices, as without them the check suffers a -2 penalty, as the meal might come out too bland. If the meal is prepared with Masterwork Herbs & Spices, there is a +2 bonus on the check.
Meal Qualities
Quality
This is the quality of the meal. The quality of the meal determines the potency of the different effects a meal may have, as well as the price. Assume that food obtained in poor conditions has a max quality of bad, common conditions have a max quality of average, and good conditions have a max quality of good. Higher quality meals may be obtained at high-end restaurants, royal courts, or special events.
DC Modifier
All meals have a set DC, but a cook can alter the DC of that meal by changing the quality of the dish.
Effect Modifier
All meals grant a minor bonus (often +1 to a certain skill) but depending on the quality of the meal that bonus may be amplified. Multiply the effect of the meal by the effect modifier to determine the bonus.
Price Modifier
All meals have a set base price, but depending on the quality of the meal a
Flavors
Different people enjoy different flavors. A person may enjoy any number of flavors, but may only have one favorite flavor. If a character eats a meal of their favorite flavor, they become Sated for the next 8 hours. A player may roll 1d12 to determine a random flavor if they do not decide one themselves.
Textures
In the culinary world, food does not only have flavors and aromas but also textures. Listed below are the basic textures of food someone might run into. A person may enjoy any number of textures, but may only have one favorite texture. If a character eats a meal of both their favorite flavor and texture, their Sated bonus is doubled for the next 8 hours. A player may roll 1d12 to determine a random texture if they do not decide one themselves.

"...Debts must always be paid, sometimes in more than blood and gold. But this is Ordo Ursa," Ren places his hand on Erakas's chest, right where the Dragonborn's heart is. "Right here. And it always has been and always will be. Don't ever forget that. Because I won't."

Cooking check, please... Wisdom roll, if you have utensils add your proficiency. If you are using ingredients other than basic stuff from a ration, roll with Advantage.
Also, roll 2 d12's. ((OOG Taste and Texture))
If making a complex meal, roll 1d4. ((OOG 1d4 hours))

Over the next couple hours, Kash will make a stew that when tastes is minty, yet creamy. It's very delicious!

Kora, having seen to the horses, and cooed over Feathers, will stand guard at the mouth of the cave, or perhaps on top, somewhere with a good vantage.
The mouth of the cave would be best, the top of the cave is heavily littered with trees and overbrush that would make it difficult for guard duty.

Sylrie spins quickly to face LT, "Orders from Fairhaven? Delivered by Lady Aria?" Sylrie's mind began to wander as to what orders might have come down .
Sylrie:
"Your loyalty has not gone unnoticed. I have been sent orders to let you know, and this isn't right away..." She pauses for a moment, "You're to report to Fairhaven once our missions here are done. It seems your time with Greywind will be limited. When this is said and done, you are to report to the Royal Court in Fairhaven, there you will find a round alabaster tower with two heavy-lidded eyes carved into the stone near the top rises from the northeast portion of the great keep. There you will report to Master Thuel Racannoch."

Aria comes into the cave looking quite pale, and nods briefly at the people she passes before making her way over to Feather, murmuring softly to the pegasus as she untacks her. "Looks like we're going to be here for a while, girl. You're going to get a lot more exercise than usual." She bites her lip and glances briefly at where Dot and Sylrie are speaking further into the cave, then gently lifts Sivi off her shoulder and sets him on the ground. "You can go exploring, but stick close." She reinforces this with the sequence of clicks that tells Sivi he's free to move, the color slowly starting to come back into her face, then turns to the others. "Right. What can I do to help?"
Kash looks at the newcomer with reservations and then looks towards Misq and Dot awaiting an explanation before acknowledging Aria - his mage hand slowly stirring the pot of stew.
Percival looks at Aria, deduces that if she's still here and asking how she can help, she likely just became a part of the unit. "Set up your bedroll, make yourself comfortable, and have some stew once it's ready. He might not look it, but he's a rather good cook and his stew will taste much better than the rations." Percival says, now using the refined accent that he normally uses, since Aria established herself as an ally.

Sylrie murmured the name, "Master Thuel Racannoch" aloud briefly before looking back to the LT, "Do you know Master Thuel Racannoch?"
OOC: If that's someone Sylrie would know then you can fill me in and I'll edit.
Sylrie:

"I do not know him personally, no. I have heard of him, they call him the Shadow at the Queen's Court. Most have never seen him, and those who have are just spreading rumors more often than not. My question for you is this, do you know of the alabaster tower in the Royal Court of Fairhaven?" Dot doesn't wait for an answer, "It's where the watchers be. Keep that in mind for when you actually get there."

"Aye, the stew is smelling good, Kash!" Sarge says as he sets up his bedroll against the back wall of the chamber. "This one here," pointing to Aria, "She'll be with us from now on. Orders from the Crown itself, it be."

Aria gives the rest a faint smile. "And on that note...I do want to introduce myself again, in a situation where I'm not worried about getting ambushed by Ashbound or bandits. Hi, I'm Aria d'Vadalis, and I look forward to working with you all." She bites her lip and, still a bit pale, takes a camp bowl out of her bag and brings it over to Kash.
Sylrie felt excitement rush through him, the Watchers, the Alabaster towers. It all seemed so far away here in the reaches, but these orders, they gave him promise. Finish the missions here and then he was off to protect the Queen, to finally fulfill his goal. But then his mind began to race and he felt anxiety rise up inside him.
"That's good news, thank you LT" his words were solemn, he wanted to say more, about how Greywind felt like family, how he was still reeling from the loss of Isuzu, how he was unsure how he would protect the Queen if he couldn't protect Isuzu. But he kept all that inside, buried.

Role-playing since that keep on those borderlands. I love it so.
Percival will set up his bedroll as well and take up a place by the fire with Kash.
