Cora makes another attempt to sign at Nim to see if it understands her.

Pleased with how smoothly that went, Vincent does try and make an effort to learn sign language alongside Lulu.

Int: 7

He will also follow up with Force Grey to see if they happen to know anything about the attack and can give him some additional information.

Drusilla will also try to learn sign language and if she succeeds, see if there's anything Nim needs now that Nim is living in Trollskull Manor.

Int:18

Vincent: Although the sign language seems to escape you for the time being, upon talking to Force Grey they do mention that if you want to patrol the city looking for the nimblewright, you may be able to use a griffon that is in training. That is, if the griffon will let you. 

Drusilla: You get the sign language pretty quickly and get Nim settled in easily. All it wants is stuff to tinker with. 

Heishe: You get the right people hired to finish the tavern and learn the same thing as Vincent, although you also are told that there are rumors that the Zhents had a part in the incident

Lu-Lu: You now know the sign language needed to communicate with Nim.  

After mastering communications with Nim, Lu-lu spends her time tagging along with whoever is going out, especially Vincent.

”Oooo! Did you say griffons?!” Her eyes sparkle.

Drusilla will sign back to Nim and say that if it wants to tinker with something, it can ask Heishe for something to do.

“Mm... Never really flied before but I’d be willin’ to give it a shot if it would let me...” Vincent says, scratching the back of his neck. “Well, what’s the worst that could happen?” He pauses, then says. “Don’t answer that question.”

If anyone wants to try and learn to ride the griffon, Bonesnapper, make me an animal handling check. 

“Bonesnapper? Well ain’t that a nice name...”

Animal Handling: 6

It is a very nice name, in fact you get along rather well with your new large feathered friend. 

Drusilla will not attempt to ride the Griffon, but if Vincent opts to tell the group that he can ride it, she'll suggest that he look for the Nimblewright in the sky while the rest of them search the ground.

"I will search on foot." Cora said, plainly. "There's no way i'm riding that..thing. End of story."

Vincent is surprised in himself that he managed to get along well with the griffon. “Will ya let me ride you for a bit to see if we can find a bad bot?” He asks the bird, giving it a good pat on the neck. “And his name is Bonesnapper, Cora. Don’t be rude now.”

“Gee, I wonder why it’s called that.” 

For searching the city, you have a single nimblewright detector, which group is going to have it? Also is there anywhere you want to focus your search? You live in the North Ward, there are also the Dock Ward, the Sea Ward, the Castle Ward, Trades Ward, Southern Ward, and the City of the Dead. 

Cora takes the nimblewright detector. Since Vincent is going by air, Cora suggests that the rest of search ward by ward, starting with the Dock Ward.

Drusilla will start searching the Dock Ward.

Perception:12

In the Dock Ward you do get some pings from the detector from two ships at the docks. You recognize them as ships of the Sea Maiden's Fair, a carnival. 

Vincent make me 3 perception checks from the air to see what you can see

"Alright Bonesnapper," Vincent says, patting the griffon on the neck. "Let's see what we can find!"

Perception: 16, 7, 20

(****in awesome!)

Well, you don't find MacCabbe's that's for sure.
