Shere looks amused at the chittering Toot got in response. But, after awhile, while retuning his lute, his tail snakes. annoyed  "Arre we therre yet?" He says to the scouts.

"If ya mean at a new spot to camp, then I sure hope not. Not unless Toots there can convince his friends not to pummel us anymore." Three interjects. "Oi! Chip 'n Dale! Why you throwing acorns at us anyways? We're just try'na pass through, ya know. Ain't like we're after your nuts or somethin' like those mean 'ol gobbos and such." She assured; her patience losing out, even though she lacked in confidence of being understood anyways.

"No I think Thrree is afterr them." Shere chuckles

"What? Why would I be after their nuts?" Three asked Shere with a look of genuine confusion. "I don't know if you noticed, but I'm more a -- as my brother would put it -- a 'connoisseur' of meat!" She said while trying to pose as some snooty noble.

-Performance: 17. (17)

And manages to put on a fairly good act despite having at best only seen an actual noble from afar! "I'm also still pretty full off that big dino from -- wait! Do you think they want some of that, Shere?"

After a few minutes of the squirrel nut pelting fiasco, they seem to stop as the party continues through the forest. River comes back to the group stating that he found a nice spot to make camp. He then leads the group a few kilometers into the forest, off the normal path. He leads you to a small clearing where it looks like someone had cleared the brush and fallen branches from the area. At the center is a shallow firepit lined with stones. it looks like whoever made this campsite tried to put out the fire, but the wood still smolders, permeating the damp air with the dry smell of woodsmoke. "Look, it's got a nice place for a fire, enough room for a couple of tents or bedrolls, and I'm sure we can find some green branches to use a spit for some of that T-Rex meat that Three collected!"

(Can we cook inside a tiny hut?)

(OOC: Make the hut.  Everyone except the caster can come and go.  We can cook outside and eat inside.  I'm sure someone will bring you a slab o' meat.)  

"Three AND Mr. Shere!" Three declared proudly and tries to rope Shere into a brief side hug. "But either way, good on ya--wait a minute! You say'n you guys didn't set this up and come back fer us?" She asked. "Then... hmm.... Well, I guess that's fine. And if whoever did comes back, we can always share some wit'em as, uhhhh -- payment fer letting us use their campsite 'n all that! Right?" She looks expectantly to Rivon, but hadn't let her attention linger for long before trying to check the perimeter for any signs of dry twigs and such to get the fire going again.

Rivon briefly searches for an inn or tavern where he might take a load off for the night.

"I'm making a place sleep tonight. If you would please fix me some of that meat amigos." He starts ritual casting tiny hut the people that can pass through are the party and guides.

Rivon looks and looks into the dense forest for and inn or tavern and unfortunately does not find one.

Shere creates a small 20 foot dome near the campfire and lets everyone know that they can all sleep inside it. He also requests that someone bring him some of the meat, as he's not able to leave the dome. After the meat is cooked and brought into the dome and everyone has their fill, the fire is kept going for the night. AS you're laying in the dome and just before drifting off to sleep, you realize how peaceful the forest seems at night, without the big lizards stomping around the forest. Sometime during the night, you hear a low growl, then another one, as if there are large cats outside your dome. You then realize the source of the growl as you hear the sounds of two large cats fighting over there perceived territory, or maybe a female cat. Soon after they both scamper off to go about their business. The night fades into the dawn of day and you awaken as what minimal light shines through the thick canopy, the fire having died out through the night.

Shere packs his gear then applies the repellent on himself. "I, was your Inn Keeper Rrivon, Frree of charrge." Shere gives a toothy grin "Thrree, you'rre a good cook, thankyou."  He licks his lips and eats some leftover meat for breakfast. "What, werre those, spices" he purrs.

(OOC: Was feeling fairly good 'bout meself till I noticed me post hadn't gone through sooner. -.-; Sorry 'bout that!)

Three, who had been looking to Rivon and waiting for her chance to ask for more repellent, turned back to Shere with a look of utter confusion. But given a moment or two to process the question, as clearly from the dazed look, the chimera was no morning person, she smiled broadly and said, "You're welcome! Annnnd I dunno! I wound grabbing a bunch of random stuff from Boss' kitchen that tasted pretty good, and figured might be nice for everyone else. 'cause like, nice as it is, I tend to eat most things raw anyways, and not everyone else does. So, ya know..." She shrugs.

"I think there was something labled 'O-dae' or 'O-nay' perhaps? Or was it Obay? That was one of'em tho'!" She assured. "Anyhow tho'! Everyone ready to go? 'cause I know I am! So up, up, up, if you ain't already! 'cause we got lots more ground to cover!" She exclaimed inbetween bursts of yawning and haphazard attempts at getting her own things back together.

(@Bierp: Apologies, but.. was there anything in particular he gave Three during the mini-shopping-sode in the city? I remember vaguely something about traps, but not sure what type, how many, etc. Same for any extra stuff.)

"I used to eat, small lizarrds whole, as a kit, herre in Chult." Shere says as he picks and cleans his teeth with protracted claw  "I am no strranger, to rraw meat but now, I prreferr cooked since the shaman rremoved many parrasites frrom me." He looks distant, his tail points upward in a poofy, question mark. "Nasty crreaturres, even nastierr in taste, potion."

"Oh, I have no idea.  Ask Taman."  Rivon points toward the human.

(OOC: Rivon has rope, a climbers kit, crowbar and 4 healing potions. (Also a shovel, soap, tent, grappling hook, a block and tackle, a steel mirror and a signal whistle.) He'll need to add an extra waterskin, a machete, insect repellent and a sneaky jungle hat.  Hunting traps are heavy, so he'd leave that to someone beefier.  Obviously most of these items are only useful for him, so others will need to equip accordingly.  I'd also recommend everyone carry a signal whistle if they haven't got one already.  They're 5cp and can be a lifesaver.  DM: If you can give me a quote for those items I need, we might be able to bypass a shopping episode.)  :)

Insect repellent = 1 cp, Machete = 3 sp, jungle hat = 1 sp. For the rest use the prices in the PHB.

(OOC: Added all that plus a rain catcher for an additional 1gp).

(OOC: This is what I was able to find, posted 5 months ago.  Unless you picked up a trap, I think we're without one.)

(@Bierp: Nope, she never went out of her way to purchase anything since we've left Waterdeep, and had largely intended to rely on Rivon and others to sort supplies and split as necessary. z.z;a But cool beans, thanks for clearing that up!)

Three grimaces. "Yea, Boss Man told me about those before." She said, but then began to grin softly. "Though he also joked that I'd probably somehow spit those sorta things out, chew'em up, and then eat'em again." There's a long moment of silence on the part of the chimera as she stared off wistfully into space. But if anyone reminds 'her' about needing to be moving on, then it is in something of a frantic effort that Three hurried to finished helping with cleaning up camp before the party officially carried on for the day.

Shere shrugs "I guess we need to vamanos, to get wherre everr we'rre going." He puts some repellent on, packs and follows their guides  He also looks to see, and wonders if, they'll have to put up with squirrels again. 21 perception. While walking, he keeps his crossbow at ready. 

The party finishes eating what leftovers were left for breakfast, then break camp and get ready to head out, but not before a quick inventory check is completed. Shere Keeps an eye out for more squirrels with his crossbow at the ready, just in case. He also takes one last look around the camp and notices that River appears to have already left for his first scouting expedition.

The group heads out to begin the next leg of their trek. You travel for the first part of the day without incident and Flask and River inquire if you want to rest for the lunch hour and to get a break from the hottest part of the day.

Rivon doesn't wait for anyone to answer.  He finds some shade and takes a load off.
