[Jasper carefully grasped the glittery pink die in his paw, shook it for a moment and released it -- a six was rolled! Jasper looks thoughtful for a few moments before laying out his response.]
While traveling with a group was fun, listening to all the chatter and chitchat regarding the current mission at hand, it was awfully boring too -- where was the treasure? The glory? Jasper was ready to collect some treasure, as much as his first four paws could carry. This trip was taking awfully long; he had thought the monster must've been a lot closer to the village based on what he had overheard from the farmers and the rest of the adventuring group!
Suddenly, a glint of... well, something off the trail caught his eye. It wasn't reflective, like his dagger, but it was bright enough to shine in the sun. He glanced furtively around at the other pupps, who were deep in conversation still, and made up his mind.
He quickly scrambled off the path, headed straight for the spot he saw the shine.
It didn't take long to get to it -- though thorns and sticks and burrs had grabbed at his hood and fur -- but he was still out of breath when he finally stole up to the object. It was round, looked and smelled to be carved from bone, and had a few small holes pushed through it... could it be?
Jasper was no musician, but he could certainly recognize an ocarina when he saw one!
It was definitely intricately and lovingly carved, with the tone holes perfectly circular in their bony base. The ocarina itself was carved to look like a singing pupp on one end, with the mouth section looking like the pupp's tail. It was unfinished; no paint adorned it, and the glint that had originally caught his eye was from the bone surface alone.
Jasper made up his mind on the spot, again -- he was going to keep this object, no matter what! While it wouldn't sell for much, due to being unfinished and slightly scuffed, it might be important to whoever had dropped it so far out here in the woods! Surely that would count for something (maybe even... a reward?) if he returned it. If not, maybe it would be useful during the journey somehow?
Suddenly, voices behind him made him pause -- too late to hide the precious instrument. Some of the other pupps had wandered back when they noticed he was gone, and looked apprehensive when they saw the object in his hands.
"It could help us on our quest," he began weakly, but some of the other pupps looked stern. How could he get them on his side?
[Jasper would like to roll his Tail stat to use charisma to convince the group the bone ocarina will be useful! He will try to try to keep it either way, but he wants the group to be on the same page as him.]
Jasper's companions peer at the strange instrument, and one of them asks to take a closer look, holding out their paw...
Jasper rolls a 17 +0, for a 17, succeeding!
Jasper's companion turns the ocarina around in their paws, "Looks like someone put a lot of craftsmanship into this... they say as they hand it back to Jasper.
"Even if its just an instrument, would still be nice to have some music around the fire at night!" One of the other companions chimes in, "You better practice Jasper!"
Back in Jasper's paws, the ocarina looks unassuming, but perhaps it has more secrets...
