"Did the old loon mention if we have to drink from this every day, or just once?  Considering how dangerous everything on this island is, I imagine he would have kept some in his cave if he needed to keep drinking from it, rather than coming back all the time."

"He wasn't that crazy." Son ponders for a bit, " No, I don't think he did say if we need it every day. The trip here was dangerous enough that I wonder if he could make it?"

Blue shurgs.

"Still can't hurt to keep track of it."

"Well, we can always experiment with that tonight. Who wants to volunteer to maybe lose everything they've remembered to see if it works more than a day? Talon excluded of course."

He gives a sharp toothed grin,

"Alternatively we could ask Father on the way to the beach."

Looking at Talon he says,

"If it is any help, you could sing and play music so people got healed? Not like this kind of magic," Son demonstrates frostbite on a nearby rock. "More sparkly motivational?"

((Sparkly glitter was Blue, Talon just told them not to give up.))

"I would offer to go without the magic water since I have the least to lose at this point, but that won't actually prove anything..."

Talon is intrigued by the instrument and tries playing it while the others deliberate.

Performance: 6 (better put the crystal glasses away)

Looking at his weapons, Talon asks the others: "Did I show a preference towards any of these weapons yesterday?"

"The crossbow? You mostly just flew around shooting down and yelling encouragement. Completely avoided the hairy six armed person and many legged insect things."

"Talon" holds the lute awkwardly and tries to strum it with the opposite hand the rest of you saw him using yesterday.

Son quietly  reaches over and switches his hold around and gives an encouraging nod.

Ember tries to hold in a chuckle (Deception 4), but gives Talon an encouraging smile and claps in applause at his attempt. 

"Well done, Talon." Ember thinks back to Talon's actions the previous day. "You could also mend things with your music. It seems your music is magical."

Mark nods at Ember's words.  He looks back at Talon and grins.  "You were also able to hum at a lock to make it open.  Much easier than me fumbling with those tools we found."

Mark heads back in and starts to collect his things.  Returning to the mouth of the cave, he looks around.

"I don't think we're going to get anything more from here....Talon may remember things easier by actually doing them.  Unless anyone can think of a good reason for us to stay here, I recommend we use as much daylight as we can to try and find our way off this cursed island, or information about it and/or us."

"Agreed, down we go."

Son has little to his name so he is ready to go.

Blue shrugs.

"I'm ready."

Ember must have had a bug fly up her nose, because she snorts a bit and waves a hand in front of her, looking around a the offending insect. It must have been really small, no one else notices it as she watches it fly off towards the forest. ((Ember has a +0 to Deception))

((Where is the party heading?))

Mark will show Talon the path we used to get here, and ask him to take a look from above to continue on instead of backtracking.

The path was mostly leading to the cave you went to, at least once you turned up towards the mountains. Part of it would continue on north along the coast, but set a bit into the jungle.

((are we going North?))

Talon will take to the air when Mark asks him to look around and he'll try to find an easy route.

Perception: 4

Son goes wherever is decided as best.

((To the beach 🏖️))

Blue is fine going wherever.

To the coast it is!

Following Talon's directions from above, Mark will ready his axe and shield then lead the way along the coast.
