"I'd know these beaks anywhere!" Dewey shouts to his compatriots as he hurls a javelin at one of the birds. "They be the amorous Land Dolphins of Zerxa. Beware their fishy kiss! It has swallowed many seamen in its time!"
Sol Rhea: You recognize these bird creatures, they're Kenku.
Haunted by an ancient forgotten crime that robbed them of their wings, the flightless kenku wander the world as vagabonds and burglars who live at the edge of human society.
The result of all this is a deeply wounded culture that focuses on regaining what was lost.
Each kenku instinctually misses their ability to fly and their dreams take them skyward. Kenku flocks are drawn to high places, and since they rarely have any real resources of their own, they usually settle in ruined towers or high forgotten places amongst the city sprawl. Spells and magic items that provide flight are especially prized, and many kenku study magic explicitly to one day take to the sky.

(Dewey, we'll keep your rolls when your turn comes up.)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Dartagnan pennysworth button down flies over to his fallen ally Kevin and squeaks a plaintive cry, as if to say, "Brother, there may come a day when the strength of Goliaths fail, but today is not that day!". Then, very carefully, dart presses his tiny bat tongue against the Goliath cheek.
Dewey rushes over to Kevin, and hides behind his massive form to stay out of the range of the attacking kinky pikachu. He places his paw on the half ogre. As he slides his "Paladin magic" deep inside Kevin's unconscious form, as if from the heavens a melodic sound fills the air... it is Bon Jovi's "Lay Your Hands on Me." Using his Lay on Hands Pool spell, he releases his entire pool into Kevin's body.
"Ugh-uuhhh... there it is." Dewey says as he restores 5 hit points to Kevin.
He then uses his cat agility for extra movement to sneak around the other side of the crates and flank the attacking kinky pikachu. Stealth = 23
Dewey: After restoring life to your compatriot, you crouch and make your way around the boxes. Your feline agility allows you to move with great speed, but your loud Chain Mail prevents you from slipping around unnoticed.
Sol Rhea: The second Kenku fires its shortbow at you from behind some crates.
Kenku 2 vs Sol Rhea: Attack: 23 Damage: 8
The Kenku's arrow strikes you dead center and you're knocked unconscious. ( OOC: D'artagnan Pennysworth Buttondown II is not effected by this, physically I mean. Emotionally, I'm sure he's a wreck.)
Nature check = 14
Also I throw a javelin at Bird 2 12 Damage = 4
Then, because I lost almost half my HP jumping through that window, I use my feline agility to scooch back another 60 feet.
"I'd know these beaks anywhere!" Dewey shouts to his compatriots as he hurls a javelin at one of the birds. "They be the amorous Land Dolphins of Zerxa. Beware their fishy kiss! It has swallowed many seamen in its time!"

Sol Rhea: D'artagnan Pennysworth Buttondown II lands on Kevin and starts licking his wounds. Unfortunately there is no effect.
Kevin, make a death saving throw. (that's a straight d20 with no modifier)

Kevin: You botch your saving throw, so it counts as two failures. You still have one more failure before you're dead.
Dewey: Do you want to use your original rolls or do you want to do something different with your turn?

After deftly dodging the dodo, Randy cracks his knuckles and extends an extremity extemporaneously towards the attacking aves: Poison Spray

Randy: Your poison spray shoots towards the Kenku and it attempts to hold its breath.
Kenku 1 Constitution Saving Throw: 9
It inhales sharply, a second too late and fills its lungs with poison. Roll for damage.

Kenku 3 vs Dewey: Attack: 23 Damage: 9
You take an arrow in the chest. It doesn't drop you, but you are very low on health.

Kenku 4 vs Kevin: Attack: 18
Damage: 6Lucky for you, it misses and hits nothing but air.
Sol Rhea, make a death saving throw.
