Murderverse Falls

[Kennifer]

Eki assumes responsibility for recovering the cabybara. Trying to pluck the cabybara out of the water with their bare hands would be reckless. They will have to approach this carefully. Eki may be wrong since all their knowledge of cabybaras comes from an article they read one day, but they're herbivorous, right? Using some fresh grass, Eki will try luring the aquatic rodent onto dry land.

The article Eki read had some good information, and they are easily able to lure the capybara out of the water with the grass. (Rolled 8 +1 for knowledge retention for a total of 9.)

Oh dear. Not only is this capybara pregnant, but it's about to go into labor. Using some sticks, Eki fences off a fertile spot near the camp for the capybara. Does Grunkle Ed have any spare bedsheets? If so, then Eki will borrow some to make a comfy nest for the cabybara to give birth. They'll also set aside a dish of water for her. As for food, Eki will search the woods for more grass, alongside a bunch of leaves. That should be enough.

Grunkle Ed is not about to give up bedsheets for this without getting some extra money out of it, and Eki doesn't seem to have the cash with them, so the nest is lacking. They also can't find enough grass or leaves that the capybara wants to eat so the whole labor takes, er, a lot of labor. (Rolled 1.)

While Eki is busy tending to the capybara, Anya will venture into town to figure out where it came from. She'll ask the locals for clues, and check if there's any zoos and nature preserves nearby. Hopefully the townsfolk will be cooperative and not obsess over her pointy ears and tail or pedal outrageous conspiracy theories at her. Anya will also scout the area with her skysail, checking for any signs of other capybaras and/or cabybara owners. She better not be accused of spying on this town.

This goes much better; Anya is charismatic enough that the townspeople (who've seen stranger anyway) point her in the direction of some likely places. With the help of her skysail she easily locates the capybara's home. (Rolled 8, +1 for charisma and +1 for skysailing skills for a total of 10.)

Eki and Anya have a total of 20 points.
