Rolled a 3: Your character encounters a friendly animal (magical or non-magical), how does it aid them on their quest or help them make their way through the woods?
Mochius makes her way through the woods with her party, taking in the sights and sounds of the woods. It really was beautiful out here! The various members of the party chat amongst themselves, and though she's too shy to really chime in, she listens idly and laughs at their many jokes.
Her mind begins to wander eventually, losing track of time as she navigates the winding paths. Finally, dusk is beginning to settle and someone suggests they make camp for the night once they find someplace a bit more sheltered. Mochius' attention snaps back to the present as she joins her companions in looking for a good place to make camp.
Before too long, she notices a glimmer though the foliage. She ducks off the path and heads towards the glittering light. She is shocked to find the glow is coming from the fluttering wings of a butterfly. The creature's brilliant golden wings seem to be shedding glitter with each beat. "Whoa..." Mochius breathes, taking in the sight. Finally, she realizes that the butterfly seems to be circling a small cluster of plants on the ground, making it's way around them in wide, lazy loops. Curious, she stoops to investigate. Maybe it was pollenating the plants, assuming the glitter was actually pollen? Maybe it was magical pollen? In that case, were the plants magic, too? Her eyes widened. Even if they weren't, she tried to remember everything she'd read about healing plants that could be found in the woods. She was a healer, after all! Maybe the butterfly just wanted to show her something to aid her on the journey.
Mochius decides to roll Nose to see if she can puzzle out what these plants are.
The butterfly flutters around Mochius' head, sticking by her as she takes a closer look at the plants...
Mochius rolls a 3 +3, for a total of 6, failing!
The plants are very pretty, but Mochius is stumped as to what they can be. The butterfly lands briefly on the tip of Mochius' ear, but soon enough flutters away into the woods. The plants are there for the taking though, and Mochius is able to grab some, maybe one of her companions will have some insight!
Mochius puzzles for what feels like an eternity, but she can't come up with anything. She sighs heavily. Even the butterfly seems to grow bored, and she watches it disappear into the woods. She frowns and begins to gather some of the mystery plants to her chest. She'll keep thinking about, maybe even ask the rest of her party if they recognize it.
Making her way back to the trail, she has to hurry to catch up with the rest of her group. The sky was growing darker, and they had found a place to settle under a canopy of leaves where the trees were densely packed.
"Mochius, where were you?" One of her companions, a fearsome fighter, asks.
"I found these plants!" She holds them out towards him, but he scoffs and walks away. She tries to show them to a few others, but they're all busy setting up camp, and no one seems interested.
How can she convince them to pay attention? The plants could be important! The butterfly had to mean something. She frowns and decides to roll Tail to see if she can get anyone to look at what she'd gathered.
Mochius' companions busy themselves with setting up camp...
Mochius rolls a 13 +5, for an 18, succeeding!
But Mochius' tenacity convinces them to slow down a bit. Looking up from where she is stirring a pot over the fire, one of Mochius' companions, the party wizard, waves her over. "Let me see those plants of yours," she purrs, reaching out a paw to accept the plants.
The wizard sniffs the plants carefully, thinking for a moment. "Hmmm, quite interesting..." she says, before tearing a small leaf off the plants, tasting it. "Just as I suspected, these are Shell Ferns! A very useful plant, drinking a potion made using these will make a Snailcat's Shell tougher, for a time. If you'd like I can brew us up some potions with these, it may be helpful if we have to fight later on."
Mochius wriggles excitedly when the wizard finally acknowledges her. It doesn't take long for her to explain what the plants are, and Mochius' eyes widen. "Shell Ferns! Of course!" She'd read about them at some point, but had totally forgotten. She is awed by the wizard's ability to identify the plant, and is suddenly aware of how much she still had to learn. It was terrifying, but also sort of exciting!
"Yes, please!" Mochius beams. "Actually, I'd love to help, if you don't mind? I might not be the most knowledgeable about magic, but I would love to learn everything I can!"
Thinking quickly, Mochius rolls for Nose, hoping to show the wizard that she could be of assistance.
