"Oh! I just came across the most amazing seasoning! You will love it!" Skip would add excitedly. "My name is Skip! Skip Fluffawitz! The husky halfling would say as he removes his chefs had and gives her a small bow. "I would love some help with the cooking... A nice snack and a drink make any conversation better!" He would add with a smile. before continuing to prepare the food with a new excitement about him. "That is Tibby.. you talked to him already... and over there is Jaeson and Yessica. I have been trying to help my friend Jaeson get back on his feet after a rough time recently and Tibby and Yessica both have some interesting leads on some new adventures that we were planning on starting tomorrow..." He would add with a grin.
Cooking! 14 plus 4
"We are heading to a shine of Savras in the morning. We were told though that our work there should be pretty easy so I am sure it is a different shrine than what you are talking about.. " He would casually mention as he works on cooking the food.
Bree would be caught up in helping cook and pretty much forget why she was there until Skip mentions the Shrine. "Oh, no, that is the shrine where the orcs are suppose to be." Bree tells Skip as she helps with the meal. "I have a couple friends who you should meet, they can fill you in better than me. One is a hobgoblin and the other a giantess, so don't be scared of them when they come. My other friend is Noa, and he is currently scouting the shrine for us..." she sends a mental command to Scat to nudge Pyrsy into heading on in. "Hey they are fine, come on in..." She calls out through the door as well.
Kuori taps her foot somewhat impatiently as she stares out one of the windows of the building, waiting for some kind of sign or signal from her companions. I can barely see a foot or two past the wall...perhaps I should go out to follow her, just in case. No. Follow your orders, and the plan will see you through.
So, Kuori reaffirmed her intention to stand in this exact spot, keeping watch for a sign. That is, just in time for the sign, in the form of a treesym named Scat, to almost fly directly into her face. After taking a steadying breath or two, Kuori realized what the creature's flapping about must mean. "All of you, stand guard over our position here, I'm going to go question these other travelers with Bree Hill and Perzy'S. Make sure to raise an alarm if any harm should threaten or come to any of you."Having given her parting instructions to the goblins on watch, she follows Scat out of the building and toward the other group of adventurers.
Shortly enough, the Goliath warrior arrives at the opposite campsite and, upon arriving at their doorstep, leans into the frame that is the entryway to address the other travelers."Greetings, strangers! The scent of the meal is inviting enough, but perhaps it would be best if I requested leave to join you, first and foremost?"
"By the nine hells, you're a big lass!" Tibby exclaims as the newcomer pops into the door frame. "Oye skipper, if you feed all the strays we find its going to start cutting into our profit."
"Now Tibby! That isn't how you greet a guest! Don't worry, I'll cover all the food costs myself." Skip would shout as he puts down his cooking utensils and moves to meet the newcomer. "I had no idea that my food would bring pretty woman out of the fog like moths to the flame, but I cannot complain!" The hardy halfling would say with a laugh. "I always make plenty to go around so don't you grab a bowl and sit. " He would say motioning to the very tall woman as he held out a steaming bowl of meaty soup. "Don't mind Tibby, he is actually very nice and you might even talk him into playing a bit of dinner music.. or maybe it is second dinner music..." he would say as he taps his spoon to his chin. "Doesn't matter... hungry bellies need filling" He would say with a smile. "You arn't hurt are you." He would say looking from the food to Bree and then to Kuori. "Hard to imagine much could hurt a lass like you though... Ya know what.. Let me get you a second bowl" He would add as he moves to get another bowl of soup. "My name is Skip by the way. I work at the inn back in Phandalin.. well... used to. I kinda never returned to finish my shift so I suppose I am a bit of a freelance cook now." The halfling would say with a bit of worry before shaking it off. "Oh, and that is Yessica and Jaeson.." He would say as he points his large silver spoon towards the female fighter and male warlock.
Skip laughs and blushes. By the second chorus he is singing along as he continues cooking with Bree's help.. not sure how many more people will be wandering in from the fog
Perzy'S and crew minus Noa are now in the same place with skill and crew. The goblins are guarding the 2nd camp and Noa is scouting the Shrine. ( I will post a basic layout of the shrine tonight)
I will be offline for a bit today so I can work out the details as this will be an important and action heavy segment.
As Daishi heads further down the stairway he finds a chamber 50'×75'. A sarcophagus in the center of the chamber with a carving of a knight at rest out of stone as the lid. The room itself has small alcoves with large tin shallow bowls with oil burning shedding light throughout the room. The walls have more carved scenes depicting the virtues of knighthood.
Anyll- are you doing any exploring around the outside of the crypt?
At this point, Jaeson is stirred awake, both by everyone having a rowdy, merry time, and the smell of Skips cooking. He is initially startled and on edge at the sight of the newcomers, though Skip and Tib seem to be getting along with them well enough. Reaching into his pocket, Jaeson strokes his new amulet for a moment, calming himself. He would rise after a moment, a smile on his face. "I must say Skip, your cooking is bringing guests in from across the realms. Hello all. I am Jaeson."
Kuori takes the amicable tone of these comments as ample welcome and steps past the threshold of the "campsite". She laughs loudly at Tibby's comment before crouching down and raising an eyebrow as she makes eye contact with the Halfling. "There's certainly an art to being so brash. Let's hope you're more an artist than a fool, shall we?"She leans in with a wolfish grin before chuckling at her own words. "I mean you no threat, sir, only to have a laugh at your expense. Kuori "Tactless" Thuliaga. And you are...?"
Her question was quickly answered by Skip's remonstrations. An amused smile adorns the Goliath's features as she offers a bow to her new host. "The compliment and the food are both duly appreciated, sir. I take it you're the chef to thank for this meal?"As Skip speaks about Tibby and the meal before them, Kuori simply scoffs and rolls her eyes halfheartedly. "I'm sure he's as harmless as you claim, however, your estimation of my endurance is somewhat off the mark. A confrontation with a bugbear has left my shoulder wrenched and my side with a few more holes than it ought to bear. However, these are injuries that I can withstand, nonetheless."
She nods with confidence at this summation before seating herself around the cooking fire. "Skip, then? Well met then Tibby, Skip, Yessica, and Jaeson. Your hospitality is not spent without all due gratitude."
"Now we just need Perzy... well and Noa, but he might take some time." Bree speaks up as she settles back with her own bowl of the food. She sends out a mental question to Scat to see where the hobgoblin is at. "I don't know anything about tactics, so they will have to talk with you about all of that." Bree explains as she starts to eat again.

Anyll Sungold- Crypt Entrance
As Anyll goes to follow, but something is amiss. While it wasn't exactly fear, he knew it would be wiser to wait...
The half-elf turns to Ashe's departure, but only responds with suspicion. He nods to the halfling's road of thought and weaves into the surroundings to try and see if he can have a look around entrance that could cause the elf's sudden departure...
"Oh! I just came across the most amazing seasoning! You will love it!" Skip would add excitedly. "My name is Skip! Skip Fluffawitz!

She calls out through the door as well.
"So this wine shrine, would it be a good place for a base of operations for a glowing spoon business? Just asking... hypothetically...."
"Like the way you think." Bree says with a chuckle. "We'll have to check it out, since I have never been there myself"
Tibby starts to work on a new tune for the glowing spoon restaurant located at the wine shrine. [Tooltip Not Found]
i'm doing song of rest for everyone
[OOC: Bree, would your familiar go to inform Kuori as well or would you leave her to wait for Noa?]
Bree would send Scat out to get the giantess as well.
Kuori taps her foot somewhat impatiently as she stares out one of the windows of the building, waiting for some kind of sign or signal from her companions. I can barely see a foot or two past the wall...perhaps I should go out to follow her, just in case. No. Follow your orders, and the plan will see you through.

Picture of Skip

(DM what time of day is it? Pretty sure night, but how late?)
Tibby takes the cue and stars playing his lute, "this one is called 'when a half man loves a full woman'"
Skip laughs and blushes. By the second chorus he is singing along as he continues cooking with Bree's help.. not sure how many more people will be wandering in from the fog
Dm
Time of day in Conyberry is about 10pm.
Perzy'S and crew minus Noa are now in the same place with skill and crew. The goblins are guarding the 2nd camp and Noa is scouting the Shrine. ( I will post a basic layout of the shrine tonight)
I will be offline for a bit today so I can work out the details as this will be an important and action heavy segment.

@ Daishi and Anyll
As Daishi heads further down the stairway he finds a chamber 50'×75'. A sarcophagus in the center of the chamber with a carving of a knight at rest out of stone as the lid. The room itself has small alcoves with large tin shallow bowls with oil burning shedding light throughout the room. The walls have more carved scenes depicting the virtues of knighthood.
Anyll- are you doing any exploring around the outside of the crypt?
At this point, Jaeson is stirred awake, both by everyone having a rowdy, merry time, and the smell of Skips cooking. He is initially startled and on edge at the sight of the newcomers, though Skip and Tib seem to be getting along with them well enough. Reaching into his pocket, Jaeson strokes his new amulet for a moment, calming himself. He would rise after a moment, a smile on his face. "I must say Skip, your cooking is bringing guests in from across the realms. Hello all. I am Jaeson."
Daishi moves a gloved hand over the surface of the carving, wiping away dust and cobwebs. Curious, why has this brought me here?
He pushes at the lid to see if it moves. Do I really want to see what is inside?
Kuori takes the amicable tone of these comments as ample welcome and steps past the threshold of the "campsite". She laughs loudly at Tibby's comment before crouching down and raising an eyebrow as she makes eye contact with the Halfling. "There's certainly an art to being so brash.
