Rip will paint the face one while noting "If you don't like it or want to change it it's just a simple wave of my hand"

Crownsguard looks at his reflection in the water, “This will do nicely. I appreciate your assistance, Rip. This is much better than mud or dirt.”

Flint climbs down from the cart and spits out a broken tooth while glaring at Boris. He then quickly checks the wheel bindings before stretching his limbs and back in a very exaggerated way.  "Where ta  from'ere?"

“I am unsure. Perhaps Marav may know?”

Quote from Awaypturwpn >>

... The Evermoor Way continues north, and a couple miles to the northwest you see the destination mentioned by the soldier yesterday—a lake fed by a stream from the Rauvin, surrounded by tree-topped hills.... 

Pointing toward the lake, Ink comments, "There... Let's hurry before it gets too dark. I want to see what evidence the frost giant left."

Ink nods at Quill who flies up and circles, keeping an eye out for dangerous things that might be attracted to the mass carnage and decay  

Marav comes out of the bushes looking tired. "The fog is too much. A herd of giants could sneak up on us and we'd never see them. As to where to go from here? Hmmm"

Survival: 25

He then snaps a finger and Quill reappears, a feint smell of brimstone stretching through the air. He whirls his finger in the air, and between breaths says, "Patrol." Breath.  "Observe."

 After a moment, you sense alarm from Quill—and it doesn't take long to discover why. Several carrion birds, vultures from the looks of it, are flying low a ways down the shores of the lake, circling. Smaller black birds are flocking further in the skies above and in the nearby trees. 

Ink sensing the distress looks into the distance and says while marching towards the lake, "Looks like we may have some large vultures to work around while investigating. Hopefully, they won't bother with us if they're sufficiently distracted with their meal. That said, keep your guard up - we know not what other scavengers a scene like this might attract."

"Wonder what they found. Birds like that circle over the dying waiting for them to die."

"Well let's not tarry then!"

"Actually, let's tarry a bit. Let me have Steele go take a looksie and report back." Marav sends Steele out telling him to not engage, but to see if his eyes can see what the vultures are so interested in.

//While Steele is gone Marav will ritual cast Speak with Animals

// Go ahead and make two checks for Steele: a Dexterity (Stealth) check, and a Wisdom (Perception) check with Advantage. 

// While Marav is casting his spell as a ritual (10 minutes), what are the rest of you doing anything?

Crownsguard will wait for Marav’s signal and then ride Horse to the site.

Steele Dex: 15
Perception: 17

Watering boris  and getting ready to ride out

Seeing Marav cast a spell to understand animals, Ink takes a cue and casts as a ritual comprehend languages. 

After climbing high into the air, Steele comes back within a minute, flapping frantically and screeching at Marav. Ink can also feel Quill's agitation growing from a short distance above him.

Marav forgoes the ritual and casts the spell. "What is it? What did you see?"

Ink uses an action to see through Quill's eyes.... 

In the shadows of the late autumn afternoon, Ink can briefly see miles through the owl's eyes, over the foothills of the Nether Mountains to the north and the vast High Forest to the south, shrouded in dark clouds...or was it smoke? 

Down below, Quill owl eyes see something disturbing—over a dozen dead bodies lay in a dry ditch above the lake, between forested hillocks. Among the bodies a pack of wolves are scavenging. Vultures and crows are gathering around, some flying low, buzzing over the wolves, trying to get at the bodies. But the wolves are viciously defending their find, even as they tear at the dead humans.
