Father deposits the bite in Son's mouth, before turning to answer the question. 

"Like I said, a bird told me. I said, 'hey bird, have you seen my son and his friends?'. The bird was confused, and it took a while, but I got headed in the right direction. I might be old, but I can be fast when I want."

((Realized I'd forgotten to mention this, but you're all level 4 now! You can take an ASI or a feat, with the exception of Talon and Son (and Ember), who may take both an ASI and one feat. I realize you don't have all the info you might like in determining what to pick up, but I've included your odd scores below, so you will be able to determine how much you need to bump relevant scores to the next mod.))

Blue will take 2 points to Wisdom.

Mark will take Resilient: Constitution

Son will take two to intelligence.

((Son also gets a feat, whenever you get a chance to look through those! You and Talon (and Ember) get both because you're <+7 total mods, while Blue and Mark are nearly twice that.))

((Missed that, and also ouch. Give me a couple hours...))

((Let's do Keen mind. Maybe it will help with navigation and remembering stuff.))

((Given that Keen Mind increases your INT by 1, you'll now have an odd ability score for INT, unless you wanted to split up the +2 you took with ASI.))

(Ya, good point. One ASI to wisdom and one to intelligence.))

Ember speaks up.

"Big Un and I already agreed to go back with... Father, but if you guys are pushing on, you might be able to make use of these. I didn't ever attune to them, but think they're both magical."

She sets the mask and rapier down, and stands, brushing off her hands. 

"Shall we?"

((Anything anyone wants to say/ask before Father, Ember and Big Un exit stage left?))

"Thanks for helping us get this far. We'll come back for you or send someone once we find a way out of this strange place."

(I'll increase Cha twice and pick Observant with the Wis bonus. Do we pick spells?)

((Hmmm good question. What do you guys feel makes sense? I feel like opening up the whole spell list to pick from is kind of against the theme, but also don't want to lock you out of adding spells. Would you be good with taking a bit more of an RP approach? Having your character identifying a need first, then choosing the spell that best fits that? Or basing it on things you've seen, or done so far? A bit more organic than the 'what does the class guide say is the best spell to take at this level'.))

(As a druid, I could maybe pick what spells I have based on the kind of terrain I'm currently in.  Since my magic comes from the land, etc.)

((That sounds reasonable! I don't think it needs to be the same solution for each of you, that sounds like a good plan for Blue. It is a bit different for those who lock spells in at leveling and those who have daily selection, but as long as you're making interesting choices, I'll leave it in your hands, but if you wish to discuss any spell stuff with me, feel free! If you want to let the dice play a role, rattle some rolls up with your spell casting modifier, I can riff off of that.))

You say your good bye for nows to Big Un, Ember, and Father.

"Alright my boy, stand back!"

Father spreads his arms and moves to where he has room, before crouching into a fetal position as dust begins to swirl around him, blocking him from view. The cloud grows rapidly, expanding larger and larger before it dissipates, leaving in his place a huge creature with a long neck, comically large beaked head, and leathery wings extending from its fore limbs.

With a squawk, he spreads his wings, beating the air with his thirty foot wingspan as he gains altitude, snatching up Ember and Big Un with his hind limbs and spiraling upward before winging his way southward.

Son blinks at the change the guesses he should have probably guessed as much.

"Bye Father, fly safe!"

"Scree-oonk!"

Son, the difficulty of resting safely on the island has been weighing on you, and a vine hanging from a branch gets you thinking... what if you were able to climb up into a tree and take a break.... the sudden flash of inspiration comes on you, and you flip to a blank page in your spell book and begin scribbling furiously. It SHOULD work!

 There! That should give you a safe place to catch your breath! Wait... breath... maybe there's a way to replicate your breath weapon magically? 

((I feel I'm in a weird place for spells....I should be praying for them, but since I don't know that I should pray for them, I don't see a good way to do it. Definitely open to suggestions))

((If you want to pray and make your needs known, you can roll a Religion check and we can go from there if you'd like? If you want, once you 'unlock' paladin spells, you would be able to select among them for what you prepare each day?))
