Bree

If the party starts to break into conversation, Bree hops off the table and wanders over to Clayton. Though she can’t help but throw a glance at the samurai as she passes. She’s fascinated. 

“Hey bacon man,” she starts, looking up. “What’s the old girl got on you that you’d leave a pie-baking missus? I think I’d be so fat Mal’d have to roll me places!”

Clayton chuckles, “Afraid it’s nothing too interesting. She helped me and Lisa when we were just starting out. She footed the bill for the whole wedding and then some. Never knew why. Anyway, since then I’ve been looking for a chance to help Syndra out. What about y’all? You said you were covering for someone, that right?”

Quote from ShyVideoGamer >>

While the others are looking over the map, Maldrek is going to attempt to snatch one of the remaining bottles of wine without anyone noticing. (Even if they do notice he's gonna still try and take it.)

Slight of Hand:13

Bree

"Aw yeah, we owe a guy." She glances around and leans in to Clayton's kneecap, conspiratorially, "I think maybe they had a thing, once," she nods towards Syndra. "But I'm not too sure, cause our guy's like, old as the hills." She pauses a moment, looking at Syndra. "Come to notice, your girl doesn't look so good herself. Was she always this, uh, frail? I mean, she wasn't a warrior or anything right, like she's gotta be some kind of wizard or like, an adventuring accountant?"

“Must’ve. I met her a while after she quit adventuring. She was more of a philanthropist by the time I met her.” Clayton thinks for a moment, before looking shocked, “Wait, how old do you think I am!?”

Bree

"Pssht! Age don't matter, Bacon. You got any little ones running around back at the homestead?"

Maldrek lets his sister run off to the human, before he takes a look at the others in the room. It's only then that he notices the girl sitting on the floor dressed in fancy but strange clothes. 'Okay that's weird. Wonder what she's about.' He thinks.  Reaching out for another bottle of wine, he moves and takes a seat on the floor next to the girl. Giving her a polite nod.

"Hey there, princess. What's your name?" He asks, taking a sip from the bottle.

Bree

"Better! We got family right here." She throws a fond glance at Maldrek where he is settling down next to the samurai. "Oh, I think she's way out of his league, poor guy. What a crew, eh?" She takes stock of the group. "Intense and bloody over there looks like he can handle himself. That girl with her eyes rolled back looks like she could use a tonic, but I expect she can dish it out. And I have no idea what that lovely girl can do. We got me and Mal to fill the gaps though, so we're good. What you got under that coat? You gonna take em down with your good looks?"

“Yeah, you could say that. One look,” Clayton manifests and spins a spectral gun in his hand, “Knocks em dead. What about you, magic I’m guessing?”

Bree

"Oh!" She watches the gun with fascination. "Do it again!" When he does (I'm assuming) she watches intently, and when he's done she sweeps her hair back, cracks her knuckles, stands like Clayton did, and recreates a reasonable facsimile of his spectral gun in her hand, spinning it round before "holstering" it in the folds of her clothing. She smiles, delighted at herself.

"What do you do with it, knock people on the head?"

OOC > Since you know something fishy is going on, you can make an Int (Investigation) check vs DC 12 to see it is an illusion.

Investigation: 8

Clayton nods and gives a smile, “Not quite. If you thought that was interesting, check this out.” The gun reappears in Clayton’s hand, but this time fires off a streaking blue bolt of energy through an empty wine bottle. Clayton has cast Eldritch Blast. However, concern runs across his face as he realizes something, “Oh. We should probably help clean that up...”

She is very deft with her magic, you couldn't catch her casting it, but the gun is clearly not a real... uh, ghostly gun. ;)

OOC: But can she duplicate the effect ;)

OOC > No, not quite. ;)

Bree

The little gnome startles as he fires off the spell. "Oh, hey! Watch it with that thing!" Her hands glow red for a moment, but then subside as she comes up from her crouch with a smile. "Remind me to stand behind you, Bacon." She dusts off some pretend dirt (she never did hit the ground) and billows of dust come off her clothes, partially obscuring her. "Oh, hey, that's okay, just a little dusty in here." As the dust cloud clears (unnaturally) quickly, she is carefully picking up the broken glass, but any spilled wine is gone from the table and the carpet, cleaned. She carefully carries the glass to a side table/potted plant/decorative urn and deposits it. "What's a party without a little broken glass?"

 (Nomadic Mind isn't as powerful as Scrying since it only gives proficiency. It also doesn't give direct access to any specific encounters, but it would be as powerful as someone who may have studied the region. I'm looking to determine anything that knowledge checks can discern: Nature to tell terrain or climate (or potentially), Perception to pick up on potential relations with surrounding areas based on geography, History for any lore of the land, Investigation to piece out a possibly favorable avenue of approach. I know I'm basically asking for a Wish, so if you'd like to pick any skill and run with it, I'm totally fine with that. Also willing to ask the host for supplemental info as well.)

OOC: Basically, he can connect to a world-wide, communal pool of knowledge. He is seeking to pull some info about Chult from that knowledge pool. He’s asking what check he can make with this bonus to get info about the island.
