Well a nature, arcana, or history check may determine that.
Aww, int-based skill checks. Kythor's no good at them. In any case, Kythor wants to try one to figure out if they have a language that they might be able to use to help explain the more "complex" concepts that may come up during their conversation - specifically things such as stealing and suggesting that they should ask permission before taking others' things.
Intelligence(Nature) Check:
1d20+2=8(and of course by the time I finally am able to get this post up, somebody's already rolled higher than me - unless otherwise stated, I'll just assume that Kythor's results are the same as Jitter's and Kendra's results)
As for whether or not we should grab one of the chwingas, Kythor himself is pretty against the idea of attacking these creatures at this point, especially given how we've sat down and effectively made peace with them for the time being. The way he sees it, diplomacy is the path of least resistance at the moment, so in his mind it might be best to try and figure out a way to persuade the chwingas into coming with them to Good Mead. Maybe we could offer them more baubles to play around with or something? Kythor could try offering them a Goodberry, maybe... Actually, now that I think about it, Dannika probably has a lot of strange and unusual baubles and trinkets the chwingas might be interested in playing with, since she's a researcher and all. That might be a good point to try to sell.
If we can't talk the chwingas into coming with, then he'll be more than ready to try and scoop one up, but for the time being he feels like if they can avoid engaging in direct conflict with the chwingas, they should.
EDIT: Also, no IC post from me tonight probably. Sorry. Kythor's just gonna keep observing the chwingas for now, sort of fascinated at being able to see one up close.
