Heading to the teacher works for me yeah

P2e - Threshold of Knowledge

Starfinger gave a polite nod, putting the badge into his pack. The Tripkee walked along with lengthy strides, blinking frequently. Once Fleur approached, he shrugged, before giving his best estimate for her question. Sure, the green-skinned frogman wasn't 100% sure but he had a decent idea.

"The fish's scales are good ingredients for various potions and elixirs. Water breathing and such."

Then, back around to answering Elaeshor.

"My guess? Flooded ruins, or something in the river that was lost. The Mwangi does that a lot."

Sorry yall, been a rough week- school's been cancelled for the last three days, and guess who was stuck babysitting four rambunctious kids and being the comms hub for a family member in the hospital?

The chef shrugged her shoulders, looking down to Miloh.

"Well, sonny jim, it grows wild here, and every time the wind blows it scatters seeds all over. We tried getting rid of it a while back, but it grows so dang fast it was easier just to figure out what to do with it."

The food in question was some dish of meat, mushroom, honey, cabbage, and other vegetables... stuffed into an arm-sized tube of dandelion stem. Sweet and savory, it seemed that this was a dish meant to be shared. Probably a festival food, given the fact it was being prepared out in the open on a grill rather than inside in the kitchen of a restaurant or somesuch. And, of course, the stall was also selling a drink made with honey and copious amounts of mint that could be identified by the smell... about 20 paces out.

The tall and weathered stall vendor placed a length of the dish on the counter, twirled a meatcleaver in her hand, and gave a grin.

"Right! How much ya buyin' today, y'all?"

There were magical techniques for fishing, sure. Bowfishing was a long-established tradition, one Starfinger... well, didn't excel at, but he was passable with archery. However, Tripkee were accomplished hunter-gatherers. Starfinger had learned the techniques for gathering fish from his grandfather when he still had the remains of his tail! So, while it might be slower than more flashy methods, he took his time. Digging up mud at the river bank, he scooped it out with his large, webbed hands and feet. The hole steadily grew, filling with clean water from the river. Then, two large flat rocks in the river, tilted toward the pool. When the wind picked up, or the river surged just a bit, the water would spill over- and often bring a fish with it. Starfinger sat patiently, watching a few fish steadily filter in. Of course, the largest fish would get tossed back- only taking the big ones would make the fish get smaller over time. The smaller ones weren't really good for alchemical purposes OR eating. Which left him with a few medium-sized fish.

So, I'm just getting back to Guild, and I'm not sure how the dice work. I'll be rolling Tripkee Lore, since their PC2 entry talks about their fishing habits. If that won't fly, probably Crafting to use some Frost Vials for dynamite fishing.

An owl, at least twice the size of a man, flaps its wings as clouds and floating stones whiz by. It tilts its head in curiosity as it hears something approaching from below - as a huge face bursts through the clouds! Screeching in annoyance as it banks to the left, the Owl turns away from the balloon effigy of a jester - one of several jolly decorations trailing down to a floating island where people from all over the Cell of Everwing are gathering. Propeller-driven airships at the docks, flying mounts, and rickety flying machines of all stripes flit about the island. Today is the Four Winds Festival, where the children of Nimbuston come of age by venturing into the "haunted ruins" below. The adults of Nimbuston know full well that the ruins are perfectly safe, but they are the preferred nesting grounds of the Fruit Bats, which they use to make flying mounts that the children must befriend as a test of courage in a rite of passage.

Nimbuston is a bustling community of about 400 souls, well situated between the trade winds. Giant dandelions line many of the fields, used by the townspeople for food, shade, and building materials. Most buildings are constructed of dandelion wood and packed earth from the forests and hillsides. Aside from its trademark Four Winds Festival, the town's main claim to fame is its Batrider militia, who help pacify the nearby Flying Mountains, which are the main source of stone and ore for this particular Cell.

For those from other islands or kingdoms, the lure is a bit easier: Nimbuston's Four Winds Festival is a great way to network, whether it be finding an apprentice or squire, chatting with old friends, or simply buying and selling at the pop-up marketplaces. From street cooks to blacksmiths, everyone has something to sell today, hoping to do business before sundown, when the children must descend into the ruins below. For now, the windswept travelers are free to wander about.

[Alright, sorry to let y'all loose, but you're free to establish what brings you here! Maybe you're looking to meet up with an old friend who comes every year, or hoping to headhunt some talent. Maybe you just really like dandelion salad.]

Alright, should be good to go. Let me see what I can do.

Edit: IT. BEGINS.
