To Prove D&D Exists for Echolon

"Ah, what the heck." Tommary deploys an old reconnaissance technique from an old manual he pulls from his pack, sits down with the otter and rubs its belly with one hand while using the other in a ritual casting of speak with animals.  When completed, he asks, "So what's your story, my friend?"

Elyona moves a bit to the music for a bit, being careful to keep it easy and gentle, before settling down for a relaxing rest.

3+5

OOC:  I added Elyona's CON mod to the HD roll, as that is RAW, but I noticed that Toots/Sposta and Oethe/Halfastbracegirdle didn't.  Did I miss a houserule?

WIll add HP to Elyona's sheet once I've posted and seen rolls.

OOC: RAW you only get back half your level in Hit Dice on a Long Rest.

 OOC: Wow that's wierd. I've been doing it wrong for years!

And you didn't add your CON bonus to your rolls.

 OOC: True, but like I said, Toots was already past Max. Healing for 28 HP instead of 20 is irrelevant when she was only down 12. (She spent a lot of time tuning and only got hit once by that AoE at the end.)

*Toots has already opened the second box, she did it as soon as she saw how cute the first critter was.*

*OOC, lol I forgot the CON mod that adds 8 to my short rest and makes me happier for opting to take the rest in the first place.

OOC: 

SHORT REST

A short rest is a period of downtime, at least 1 hour long, during which a character does nothing more strenuous than eating, drinking, reading, and tending to wounds.

A character can spend one or more Hit Dice at the end of a short rest, up to the character's maximum number of Hit Dice, which is equal to the character's level. For each Hit Die spent in this way, the player rolls the die and adds the character's Constitution modifier to it. The character regains hit points equal to the total (minimum of 0). The player can decide to spend an additional Hit Die after each roll. A character regains some spent Hit Dice upon finishing a long rest, as explained below.

**You can roll your hit dice to heal. You have hit dice equal to your level. You add your CON mod to each die you roll. You regain some of them during a Long Rest

LONG REST

A long rest is a period of extended downtime, at least 8 hours long, during which a character sleeps for at least 6 hours and performs no more than 2 hours of light activity, such as reading, talking, eating, or standing watch. If the rest is interrupted by a period of strenuous activity - at least 1 hour of walking, fighting, casting spells, or similar adventuring activity - the characters must begin the rest again to gain any benefit from it.

At the end of a long rest, a character regains all lost hit points. The character also regains spent Hit Dice, up to a number of dice equal to half of the character's total number of them (minimum of one die). For example, if a character has eight Hit Dice, he or she can regain four spent Hit Dice upon finishing a long rest.

A character can't benefit from more than one long rest in a 24-hour period, and a character must have at least 1 hit point at the start of the rest to gain its benefits

**You get back all of your HP. You get back all of your spell slots. You get back half of your hit dice.

"Ah, what the heck." Tommary deploys an old reconnaissance technique from an old manual he pulls from his pack, sits down with the otter and rubs its belly with one hand while using the other in a ritual casting of speak with animals.  When completed, he asks, "So what's your story, my friend?"

The blue creature chitters and squeaks at you. You get the words/feelings of loss, sadness, fear, and hunger. When it grasps your hand, you feel the heat drain out of it. Your hand and arm become cold as it remains in contact with the creature. 

You see that the fur changes from blue to grey.

*Toots has already opened the second box, she did it as soon as she saw how cute the first critter was.*

The cold is a little uncomfortable but the creature seems pleased and more relaxed as you cuddle it. At the end of your short rest, the creature has changed color from blue to grey to brown. It squats and lets loose a few pieces of ice from its rear, then curls up to nap near you.

 ”Ooohh. The poor dears!” *Toots takes out her blanket and prestidigitates it warm before making it into a nest for them to sleep in. She also casts goodberry again and feeds one to each of the two creatures before passing one out to each of her teammates and pocketing the remainder.

OOC: I added Oethe's constitution modifier to his character sheet.

 They sniff the berries but don't eat them.

 Seeing that, Toots pulls some dried meat from her rations to see if it appeals to them more.

 They don't even pay attention to the meat.

“I wonder if they prefer fresh?” *Toots wonders aloud, her gaze lingering a little too long on the remains of the Gnoll Priest, her fingertip tapping pensively in her chin....* “Hey, Tommary, could you come here please? I’d like you to ask these adorable little critters about their dietary needs, and then depending on what they say I might ask you to do me another favor. Ooh, and find out if they have names too please.”

Tommary pulls out the remains of his sandwich from the base camp cave, between bites he asks the critters if they eat or how they feed.  "That's Toots.  I'm Tommary.  What do you call yourselves?"

The one near Tommary goes by the name Star as she has a patch of white fur on her chest shaped like a star. The other by the name Pipkin.

You get the words/images for water, touching, hugs, snuggles, and sunlight.

"Toots, this one is Star, the one closer to you is Pipkin.  I think they thrive on natural light, hydration, and affection.  So folks, should I flip that there lever before we get moving on?"  Tommary gestures to the lever he identified near the statue.

*Toots starts playing with the two critters, tickling them, nuzzling them with her face, and generally snuggling with them.* “Hunh? Yeah, whatever.”

Elyona, who has been discussing weapon forging with Oethe while they rested, smiles as Toots plays with the animals.   To Hawksley, she says, "That was some good shooting, my friend."

Looking at Tommary, she says, "Give me a moment to get up and be prepared in case something happens that needs a response, then sure."  Elyona then stands up, puts on her shield, and pulls out her battleaxe, holding it loosely.
