WuJen replies "Sure, so long as you do not use them against us. You will have to excuse my paranoia. I know it's rude but this place is very trying for me."

Re: 3B - One flew over the cuckoo hut
The satyr happily accepts his flute and speaks at great length to Wujen in Elvish. Occasionally he seems to shout in a sarcastic tone, usually staring at the centaur when he does. The centaur does not respond and simply stands near the door, staring outward.
- For those of you who speak elvish...:
- "Thanks, I appreciate it. I don't blame you for being nervous in here. Everyone wants out and half of the people here will backstab you in a second if they think it'll get them some favor with Baba Yaga. Paranoia is healthy in here.
"The centaur doesn't talk. At least, I've never seen him do so at any rate. Believe me, I've tried. Sitting by yourself all day with no one to talk to, you get stir crazy, you know what I mean? The guy hasn't said a word to me in all the time he's been here. I'm like, 'hey buddy! What's your story?' and he just stands there as still and stoic as a statue. I can't tell if he's just really stupid, mute, or doesn't speak good ole elvish, but he's never responded no matter what I said. Totally bizarre.
"Anyway, the fella was brought in by Baba Yaga a while back. Seems he had a fancy spear that she took away from him. He didn't say anything about it, but he didn't look happy when it happened. Of course it could have just been the fact that he was getting locked in a cage. That doesn't tend to make people happy. But maybe if HE'D SAY SOMETHING LIKE A SAPIENT BEING I MIGHT KNOW A BIT MORE ABOUT MY FELLOW CELLMATE. Other than the fact he's the big, strong silent type, that is.
"I'm sure the oaf wants out, but I can't vouch for his trustworthiness. He could be scheming against us to get his spear back and stab us all with it for all I know. Or he could be a perfectly great upstanding citizen; the type of fella you can sit down and share a mead with. Which is he? Friend or foe? I don't know! BET YOU WISH YOU HAD TALKED TO ME FOR LIKE A SECOND OR SO NOW. EH, HORSE GUY?
"Or maybe he doesn't give a goblin's behind. Who knows? Not me!"
Kinsley appears to be quite bitter at the fact that the centaur never responds to him, which grows more and more obvious as he continues to speak.

Re: 3B - One flew over the cuckoo hut
"He is annoyed that the Centaur never talks. As you can see, the Satyre talks alot.
I don't seem to be able to cast spells into the cages, likely as a result of whatever Ward is keeping the caged creatures from projecting powers out."
WuJen goes to the Centuars cage and unlocks the door. "You can come with us if you want, or whatever else you choose.". WuJen attepts to get the message across with pantomime as well, hoping for a good response.
He will do the same with each cage, saving the Nightmare for last. After he opens the pegasus and griffon cages if he does not get some kind of response h will attempt a mind probe, looking for memories of being taken in or out of the stables, and surface thoughts hoping for better communication.
Assuming nothing horrendous happens he will again try to talk to the nightmare, carefully unlock the door and being ready to shut it again quickly should it prove hostile and try to probe it's thoughts as "respectfully" as possible.

Re: 3B - One flew over the cuckoo hut
The centaur gives a respectful nod to Wujen for releasing him. The satyre's jaw drops to the floor as he stares at the centaur incredulously and goes off into another rant in Elvish. The centaur ignores him.
As Wujen opens the other cages, the various beasts are happy to step out of confinement, but have no other response for him. A scan of their thoughts provides images of boredom as well as Baba Yaga harvesting things from them like hair or feathers. She doesn't seem to harm them particularly, but they do wish they were outside rather than in captivity.
The nightmare is just a bundle of rage. Wujen manages to get a brief glimpse of its thoughts before having to quickly shut the door in response to an incoming gout of flame. He sees images of some kind of Hell metaplane with flames everywhere and demons flying in a crimson sky. He also gets a rapid flash of a variety of violent images of people being burned alive, trampled to death or torn apart in a fury of razor sharp nightmare teeth. Finally, there is an image of the nightmare travelling through a doorway from the Hell metaplane to a dream one. Wujen gets the impression that it lives in the former, but feeds in the latter and was somehow caught while feeding on Baba Yaga's dreams.
- For those of you who speak elvish...:
- "Are. You. Freaking. KIDDING ME?! I spend days, months, years, or gods knows how long trying to get you to even acknowledge I exist and this guy strolls up with a key and a few words and suddenly you're BEST FRIENDS? What the HELL, man?! I thought we were pals: united in misfortune! Us against the witch! We'd dig out of this place together with spoons and go build a boat together on some beach or something! You and me!
"But I see how it is. Seduced by a pretty boy elf and his fancy key to freedom. WERE WE EVER EVEN FRIENDS?!"

Re: 3B - One flew over the cuckoo hut
"Ok... Screw that thing" WuJen says as he locks the nightmare's cage again. "It seems to have a firm grasp on where it's home is, but it's not anywhere we want to go, not is it willing to play nice with the group."
"So, we have more of us that would be better off elsewhere, but still no elsewhere to go.. Anyone got any ideas on where to go next? We could try the closet that supposedly goes to the foyer. I don't think it will work but at this point it's all I got other than trying to find Baba Yaga and asking politely to be let out which is historically not something she seems inclined to do. Might win us points for imagination though. Downside to that is we probably want to try it before herding pegasai and griffons through the house... Seems rude."

Re: 3B - One flew over the cuckoo hut
Sun starts counting. A flying horse, a gryphon, and a flying broom. Those are airborn. Then there's a unicorn, a centaur, a satyr, Sam the frog, Ichigo, WuJen and himself. 3 flying vehicles and 6 earthbound creatures, 7 if you count the pocket-riding Sam. Sun scratches his chin for a moment. "Closet sounds good. Seemd we can't just fly away."

Re: 3B - One flew over the cuckoo hut
Between the animals freed, the regular members of the party, the ogre and the other freed prisoners, the room is pretty crowded at the moment. Two doors lead out of this stable and one mysteriously opens on its own. Everyone turns their head to the door and sees Booger peeking out from behind the door. "Oh," he says, "You let out Baba Yaga's horses. She won't like that one bit. On the bright side, it looks like I don't need to risk my life feeding them today."

"Hi Booger. You don't ever feed the hut itself, do you? Or know anyone that does? I'd like to communicate with it directly and was hoping you knew a way, or someone that interacts with it."

Booger shakes his head and says, "No, I just take care of the horses. Goober sometimes feeds the hut. He's sick today, though. He shouldn't be disturbed. He's resting in the servant's quarters."

"Thank you Booger."
Consulting the map WuJen looks for the shortest route to the servants quarters.

Re: 3B - One flew over the cuckoo hut
Booger's shoulders droop a little. "Awwww.... man. She's the worst one to feed."
Consulting the map, Wujen finds a quick route to the servants quarters by way of the Black Cat room, but it is clear that the animals in your quickly growing party are going to be difficult to herd as they do not really seem to know what is going on. The hippogriff and pegasus charge towards Booger's open door, apparently seeing it as a means of escape. The goblin squeals as they come after him and runs just as the two beasts shove the door wide, revealing the Weighting room, where you first met Booger. You hear screaming and the sound of a door opening, though the scream is cut short with the sound of a door closing, presumably caused by Booger running into another room.
((don't suppose anyone has outdoors(animal handling) as a skill?))

Re: 3B - One flew over the cuckoo hut
((Hm... On second thought, I think it will have to be a GM ruling. The skill group Outdoors is based on Intuition, so it would be Intuition for Outdoors. But, the book didn't include Animal Handling in the Outdoors skill group. It's in there as a house rule. And Animal Handling is listed as a Charisma skill in the book.
So, if you get back to it before the GM makes a ruling, just roll whichever one is higher between charisma and intuition and say which you're rolling and what the dice pool would have been if you had rolled the other one))

((No... I can't, either. The images for the dice have been broken lately. I can tell by looking at the page source code that you rolled 3, 5, 3, 1, 2, 3. So, 1 hit.
The GM set up a way to roll that will output just text instead of pictures, for at least as long as we're having this image server problem. It looks like this:
