Son wanders out to see who is outside the cave playing music and chatting with the others he looks at Talon in puzzlement before shrugging.

"Hello, there. You're playing some interesting music. Call me Son, what should I call you? I guess we were on the same boat?"

Once outside he will pause and look around, not having had a chance to really see the island before.

He will wait until people are ready to go to either help him get fitted with some gear or start heading to the forgetmenot pool, being sure to say goodbye to Father.

It's hard to say, you've kind of got a sense memory of the taste, and the more you think about it, the more you think you taste it, but then when you have another sip, it tastes fine.

Talon meets Son, who is a large red reptile, and Son meets Talon, a smaller bird person.

Son looks out from the ledge, a steep drop to rocks below, forest around and rocks above. The view looks out on the beach, and ocean beyond.

"Quaaak!" Talon jumps before composing himself. "You startled me... Hello, Son. My amnesiac name is Talon. Thanks for the compliment? I'm experimenting, of course, I don't remember songs from before... this. I do remember how to fix things and people with music and words, so that's very useful. But I'm sure there's more, if only I keep trying." 

Insight to check if he was complimenting Talon (d20): 15

♪♫ ... and there in his hole in the rock they all went / While I stayed outside to play music and vent... ♪♫

((Son's tone would have been complimentary :D.))

He gives Talon a reassuring smile, with lots of sharp and pointy teeth with bits of mushroom soup between them to re-enforce his sincerity.

Performance?:4

While the others went out to listen to Talon's music, Ember will sit awkwardly across from Father eating her mushroom stew. "This is good, thank you."

She will look around the cave once more looking from shelf to shelf. (If there are shelves...:) ). She is looking for any nick-nacks or trinkets that the old man has gathered over the years that could help her make her firemaking device. 

Investigation (no mod): 10 

Ember spots a bronze device with all sorts of gears and the like, but it seems fairly damaged and non-functional. With the right tools, maybe?

Big'Un will look at the others and ask: "Is everybody rested and ready to go? We need to back-track a little and let Son look at the stash to see if anything jogs his memory and then on to the pool? Where is Ember....we need to tell her we are ready if she is."

Ember is in with the old guy, checking out his treasures.

Blue nods.

"Let’s get moving."

"Oh, caught your eye, did it, little not-ghost? It used to work, but my Son liked to sleep on that shelf, and knocked it off. Never worked right since then. I tried to fix it, but just made it worse. Tell you what, if you can make it useful, you can have it, just so long as you look out for my boy."

He lifts it down and hands you the pile of clockwork materials.

((Ember, feel free to chime in with any RP or questions, just trying to move things along, since Blue and Big Un seemed ready to move on.))

When you all step outside, those of you that joined Father in the cave notice that Guy isn't out there with Talon, and Talon notices that Guy doesn't come out with the others.

Son smiles his thanks to Big'un and the rest.

"I appreciate your backtracking on my behalf."

He is ready to go and will be keeping a watch as they walk.

Perception:19

"Oooh! Yes, it did catch my eye. I have so many ideas, I'm just trying to find stuff that will make my ideas come to life. Thank you!" Ember will put the clockwork pieces in her bag and will walk out to join the others. 

Seeing that Guy was not inside with her, looking around she tries to spot him in the crowd. "Where is Guy?" She says to the others who have gathered.

((Sorry for delay. I had forgotten to mention that we are away camping this weekend. I will try to check periodically.))

"Guy?"

"Was he not inside with you? How do we lose a person?"

Talon get some altitude to look around.

Perception d20: 15

"No, he wasn't in the cave. I thought he was waiting out here."

To Son, "He was a human about this tall." She reaches a hand up to indicate his height, it's a bit obscure because she can't reach high enough. "He was also in the wreck with us."

"He must have wanders off somewhere or gotten taken." Ember will start searching the surrounding jungle, not going to far out of sight of the cave. She will look for footprints or signs of a struggle. 

Survival (no mod) 8 

Ember picks up a bit of a scuffed trail, leading into the jungle, but soon loses it in the denser vegetation. ((Ember, give me a Perception check.))

Mark walks out and looks around, confused.  "Maybe Guy went back to the stash for some reason?  If we're escorting Son there, we can keep an eye out for him along the way."

Perception (no mod) 13 

Blue will try to help Ember out with the tracking, as he'd had some luck with it in the past.

Survival: 8

Near the edge of the forest, Ember spots a row of six wooden and stone markers spaced maybe a foot apart, seemingly of various ages, as some are much more weathered. Scratched into each is the word "Son", though barely legible on the oldest and most weathered looking. Small piles of shells and colorful pebbles are piled in front of each.
