Clapper was surprised at the snake starting to play music, but isn't surprised at how horrible it sounds.
Finishing the song, he starts talking to the snake.
"So, my name is Clapper. You?"

To Kirby121

"My name isss Hisssssscssssssssssssssa." The snake wipes his venom-drenched tongue onto the wall and plucks your lute with his tongue. "Where can I find thisssss... thisssss..."

Thankfully (or perhaps not, considering the message's contents) Whisper knows Elvish. Her eyes widen as she reads the clay plate, trying to make sense of it. She feels paranoid suddenly and glances around as she places it into her pack. Perception 21

To EmileTherese

Your wise perception tells you that you're not scared enough. It also tells you that clay won't be permanently stained by blood and can be washed off to see the full message.

Realizing the blood--agh, it's blood!--can be washed off, Whisper retreats into a shaded area and enters stealth. Stealth: 25. She pulls out her waterskin and pours some of it onto the plate to remove the blood, wiping it gently with her sleeve.

Specter Fields (farmland)

  These farmlands are the only source of food. The plants and animals here are all there are left in the world, since the known world is deep below endless caverns. But death is somewhat broken here; the plants and animals do not wither, and neither do the elderly, and specters are known to haunt the soil. Some say they protect the crops, others say they want revenge. And rumor has it that something buried far beneath is causing this.

Linos ‘Beans’  only ever known shepherding and lately the birth rates have been low.  Linos’ is searching for answers.

If Thruder's hawk is still perched on the cave, Whisper will tell it the message from the plate telepathically and to tell Thruder right away.

To HunterOrien

[welcome to the game!]

The fields are slightly chaotic lately. The specters have been taking care of the plants like they have been their past lives, but even with their extra help the crops have been dying out. Between the fields and the village, a small crowd has gathered, a few people looking at a small cave entrance just outside town. Meanwhile, specter try to help the crops and give life to them so the humanoids won't go extinct here.

Thrudor approaches the cave and does not see Whisper. He patiently waits for them. While waiting he hears Whisper's whisper through his hawk. His eyes widen taking in this information. He does not enter the cave but instead takes several steps back. "This cave should be sealed until we are ready...." He mutters to himself.

[ready now, or waiting on someone else?]

You hear an insect-like chattering from inside the cave, and with this strange sound dust begins falling. out of the cave in small clouds.

Morgot steps up to the man on the ground and says, "I better warn the king then." and slams the flat of his sword over the guy's head, hoping to knock him out. 18 to hit for 12 bludgeoning damage. 

I'm gonna get a message to the king, then go to the cave. They can already have entered it, but he will be arriving. 

To RippedRhinoVikings

You find the king eating a banquet. He stands up and says "Lets see. No, you're not my bard. What has brought you here?"

Clapper pulls out an older, out of tune harp. "Here, try your hand tail at this. You know, most people seem to think of you as a monster. But I believe that though yes, you are a formidable opponent, you simply have a passion for music, and want to hear it as much as you can. And what better place for that than under the kings castle? He constantly has minstrels playing for him. Am I right in this?"

To Kirby121

"Yesssss. I love musssssic and ssstay here to lissssten. I oncccce had a harp made of sssspider sssssilk, but it broke when the wallsssss began to move." He begins playing the harp with his tongue with Performance 11 [+1 because he at least has experience listening to music]

Morogt says, "There was a suspicious man at a bar. I questioned him about his intentions and, with a little persuasion, he admitted that his thieves guild was making an attempt on your life. Not sure how much truth there is to it, but I thought you and your security ought to know." After the conversation, he wanders around and notices Thrudor and Whisper outside the cave, and approaches them quietly. 

"Well." Clapper is a little lost as to what to do.
"If you'd like, you can keep mine! Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to leave now. I'll try to come back tomorrow though, and we can have a little jam session!"
Clapper will quietly exit the room, closing the door behind him. If thee guards are still here, he'll ask them to kindly take him to the king. If not, he'll do his best to get there by memory.
history check with advantage, since it wasn't very long ago. 19

To RippedRhinoVikings

"An attempt on my life." The king looks only slightly concerned. "I can't say I'm surprised. Guards, you know the drill!"

[You wait outside the door, where Thrudor is waiting, and I'd assume Whisper]
