Ardour got an 8 from that Perception. So much for scouting ahead, I assume. Hrm.

Oh nooo, Ayame, what have you done!
I should probably wait for OwO and poor Dahlia before my next post. I apologize in the fox's stead.
And... I really hope nothing bad has happened to Risque, and that she will come back eventually.

The kobold didn't wait for Caw to gather his wits. As soon as the arrow whizzed by its head, it started to scurry away. Like a rat. Or a kenku. Or... any other living creature, fearful for its life.
Vaal spoke to it, but though Caw could've perfectly replicated every word he heard, he understood none of it. And yet, as if to test the new, foreign language on his tongue, he repeated a word at random. The last word, because he remembered it the clearest.
"Live."
Whatever it meant, he liked the sound of it.
No one else moved to give chase to the fleeing kobold or indicate a will to see him do it, and so Caw did not draw another arrow.
Unsure what else was expected of him, Caw walked to retrieve the two arrows he'd shot; one from the ground, one from the chest of a now-limp kobold. As he pulled out the latter, he caught Vaal at a curious time. Caw was by no means an expert on emotion, be it displaying it or recognizing it, but the kobold seemed... different, somehow. Confused too, maybe. He was staring at a claw for a long time.
Caw walked up to him. Standing next to a creature so small was... new. Caw was used to feeling small and useless, always the one to be protected or helped - or used as a disposable fodder, as it were. But now, he felt like he was the big, strong one. He rather liked it.
"Reasons..." Caw pondered in the kobold's signature drawl as he regarded the bodies.
Then, head tilting, he turned to the sorcerer himself, trying to discern how the other was feeling over the death of his own. "Kin," he gestured at the deceased, then switched to the gentle voice of a lady. "I'm sorry."

I'll try, since Caw is going to talk to him! Lemme try that insight check...
Got a 12! Eh, decent but not exceptional.

@Vertigo If you'd like to scout round the corner let me know. I put those numbers there because I considered it the most likely place people would want to move forward from, but that doesn't have to stop you checking things out.
Hmm, I actually might! Just to get a sense of what's ahead. I'm guessing a Perception check would be in order?
Though I don't know if I should wait for Lauder to post first, since Aurix is the one to calm the horse down. Might be a bit weird if I made mention of that before it technically happened.
For position, Ardour would probably be in the front again, for the same reason as before. Reconnaissance! Now if only he could get one more level and get that Shadow Step...
I'll have him react to things in my next post, though it's mostly just him dying on the inside and wondering how he got stuck with this group of all people. |D

Was going to wait for a few more posts, but I'm catching up and can get a little something up tomorrow!
Sorry not posting yet. Had people over so couldn't really write over the weekend. Got a post started today, and will finish tomorrow. Excited to get goingg.
Working to catch up on replies I owe, and just wanted to check--- is this still a thing? Are we just waiting for everyone to get a post in, or?
Post all done! Ayame is--- so not enjoying her day so far, ha. But I am.
Also apologies, I didn't know about your eyesight! I figured maybe you hadn't noticed the status thing, since it initially took me a while to notice as well. On that note, I usually use the silver color for my posts, but if it makes reading more difficult due to the lack of contrast, let me know and I'll drop it.
