If you have a question or disagree with a DM's decision, you can just bring it up regularly tbh, no need for all that passive aggression.


That's a very uncharitable reading of my statement. Mayhaps you should look to your own concerns, first. GAH already discussed it with me, right here for all to see. No hurt feelings, and no bad blood. She's a big girl who can address those kinds of concerns on her own. I was just poking a bit of fun at the situation.

I've RPed with GAH before, and have no issues bringing up matters I genuinely have a grievance with. No need to make mountains out of mole hills.

-snipped for space-

Apologies if I hurt your feelings, wasn't the intent, just wanted to give a general tip going forward 👍 Should also note that I didn't bring into question GAH's ability to handle anything, at any point.

I think what happened was that something got lost in translation when the Insight post was written. I did get the Passive Aggressive tone from your previous post about the Insight as well.

Now, we're not laying any blame on anyone here. I know I've written my own fair share of posts in the past where they had a worse tone than I actually intended. It's just something to watch out for and beware of when writing in the future.

@Guardian Angel Haruki It's unlikely, but what would I roll to see if Voth knows anything about a 'Will of the Feywild' who has enough beef with someone to warrant a bounty?

@Guardian Angel Haruki Does the 18 succeed?

Yes, an 18 succeeds. Sorry for the delayed response. I am now able to post. ^^"

Voth has been in Prismeer for long enough to have heard about the Hourglass Coven and how they usurped rule from Zybilna, the original Archfey Ruler of this plane. Voth can reasonably guess that one of the Hags put the bounty out for this "Will of the Feywild"

However, considering he just arrived into Thither with the party, he has no idea who Will of the Feywild is.

@Guardian Angel Haruki Understood. Not enough information for Voth to say anything about it at the moment, but I'll keep it in mind.

And I was just thinking of writing a DM Post to help move things along here. XD

Perfect timing @rush99999. (And another note regarding the Roll: Jeez, again?! XD)

OK. I am going to go ahead and get a DM Post up. For the purposes of preventing another instance of one group waiting for another one: We are going to say that the party is not splitting. As Brutrumukk leaves, everyone is following him.

So, when you are writing your posts, you are welcome to write how you conclude the meeting before following Brutrumukk along with the reactions to what you find for the Random Encounter. ^_^

EDIT: Also as a quick correction, the Wanted Poster is signed by Granny Nightshade.

Would you by any chance be in agreement with Baldur's Gate 3 that Speak With Animals can work on owlbears. If so, would the owlbear's huff and growl mean anything to Brutrumukk if he used his new feat to cast Speak With Animals?

Unfortunately, I am not in agreement with Baldur's Gate 3. ^^"
Speak with Animals helps with understanding creatures that are Beasts. Owlbears on the other hand, are labeled as monstrosities.

This is why I made Eleanor a Mark of Handling Human in Lurking's game. XD

That is a good point. But consider these three counterpoints...

Counterpoint One: Dragonmarks are from Eberron lore, so the restriction on Speak With Animals is only really enforced in Eberron.

Counterpoint Two: Brutrumukk comes from the Forgotten Realms, where dragonmarks don't exist and where Baldur's Gate 3 and its associated owlbear conversations take place even so.

Counterpoint Three: ...Pretty Please?

@rush99999 Fair Counterpoints, but here is my rebuttal...

Counterpoints One and Two: The party is currently in Prismeer, a Domain of Delight, which is its own Feywild Plane, far from the Material Plane. As the DM, I know how the other worlds besides the Forgotten Realms are included in this game. So, Ebberon lore is just as valid as the Forgotten Realms.

Counterpoint Three:

I'm afraid the internet has ruined me. I see fantasy art, and my first thought is almost immediately "That looks like it was done by AI." Which is completely ridiculous.
WotC didn't start using AI programs for their artwork until "Glory of Giants", released in 2023. "The Wild Beyond the Witchlight" was published in 2021.

That aside, @Guardian Angel Haruki what would I need to roll to check for signs of "people" nearby? Footprints, broken branches, fallen leaves, etc. Would it be perception for looking at a glance, or survival?

You are correct, Sir! That particular piece of artwork was created by Craig J Spearing according to the Module.

As for looking around for signs of people nearby, that would be a Survival check.

EDIT: Investigation can also help here.

@Guardian Angel Haruki I went ahead and added guidance, as I intended to cast it for an active search.

That said, natural 20, for a total of 28.

O_O WOW!

Alrighty then...I would say that is a definite success.

So, with that, Voth notices that the area around the cart has no footsteps, no broken branches, and not even a fallen leaf that's out of place. If anything, he only finds the tracks of the chariot's wheels and the owlbear's footprints, revealing that the owlbear ran here.

With the Natural 20, Voth does think to check the chariot itself. While there is nothing inside, Voth does find claw marks on the interior front of the chariot. From there Voth can naturally conclude this...

Something large, with taloned claws grabbed the rider from the chariot. Considering that there were no other footprints, he can also reasonably guess that whatever it was: It is capable of flight.
