I updated the riding order. Let me know if there are issues with it. ---

I thought you were from Chicago, Don’t you mean Da Bears! 🙂 ---

I do live in Chicago, but I’m from Green Bay originally. Though, now, I’m totally picturing our two in-game bears talking with Chicago accents. 😃 Wisconsin joke: Q: How do you keep bears out of your back yard? A: Put up a set of goalposts. ---

So you have an interpreter. Please ask the bears questions, decide about crossing the Great Anduin. Find out more. ---

Out of curiosity (I haven’t played D&D in a LONG time), what are the **Portents** in the main thread? Rolls on a d20? Thanks, Brian ---

The Divination Wizard gets to Portents Rerolls to use. After each long rest, roll 2d20. You can replace any attack, save or ability check by you or a creature in sight with one of these foretelling rolls. * * * My postings will be sporadic for the next 3 days. We’re doing our part of the closing on the house sale today and most of the final packing. Tomorrow we’re running the cats & stuff we’re taking with us to where we’ll be for the next month+ and Wednesday is our move out day. I should sneak a few posts in, but won’t really be around until Thursday. ---

Finished up today. Our life is moved into 3 storage units for now. Visited some friends, though it was a chilly visit. Nice couple of hours. Then when I got home took a quick walk and started packing my parents belongings into Goodwill, Garbage or some bags of clothes for my Mom to go via my daughter to my oldest sister. Hit a few items in my Dad’s dresser that had me close to tears. He still had his old Air Force Combo cap and one of my Dixie Cup Sailor hats. * * * I’ll try to post a game update tonight or more likely tomorrow. ---

Could some of us do any nature/history checks to figure out what these creatures are or if they even previously existed? I know some party members are more qualified than Ninthel. Also, some perception checks please? ---

> [@TrashDragon](#): > > Could some of us do any nature/history checks to figure out what these creatures are or if they even previously existed? Felareth will make some skill checks. In order: - 1. Perception. Scan all around to make sure there is no enemy ready to take action. (16 + 7 = 23) 2. History. Has the Enemy (whether Morgoth, Sauron or any of the Ringwraiths) ever sheathed the natural weapons of animals with metal? (20 + 7 = 27) 3. Nature. On the offchance that this might be natural. (12 + 2 = 14) 4. Arcana. How might this be brought about? (14 + 2 = 16) 5. Perception. Another sweep to see whether anywone snuck up on the party while he was thinking. (18 + 7 = 25) To ease the DM’s task, @discobot roll 5d20 Take the five rolls in order presented for the skill checks: 16, 20, 12, 14, 18. ---

She checks in with you, you have to wait for the check in. Wait did I say you can contact her? I can’t remember now. ---

Either at once or when **Windwing** reports, **Ghan** can try **Perception** / **History** / **Nature** / **Religion** as well.
