Trouble with Kenkus

The task of our group was to gather enough followers in this small town to convince the gatekeeper of the nearby cathedral that the religion we followed was real, in order to allow our “highest priest” to enter. The dragonborn fighter in the group, assuming it would be easy, chose to schmooze everyone he saw. The party were directed to an old lady that may help us if we could help her.

As we approached the old woman sitting on her porch, the fighter said aloud “well isn’t that the sexiest woman I ever saw!” Blushing but otherwise unfazed, the old lady sent the party to work.

The party consisted of three adventurers, the dragonborn fighter, and two birdfolk, one a Kenku. Now, Kenkus are supremely intelligent, as they can speak and understand 5 languages, as well as mimic any sound they hear (such as sizzling bacon). However, they can only communicate through sounds they have already heard, making conversation very difficult.

The party struggled but was successful in fending off giant rats in the old lady’s basement. They made off for the mayor’s house, because they heard he had lost his kid. The mayor tells the adventurers his 5 year old daughter ran off, and needs to be found. The adventurers traveled through a cave, in which they could not find her, before returning to the Mayor’s home and finding the girl up in a tree not but feet from the house.

Instinctively, the Kenku shouted “well isn’t that the sexiest woman I ever saw!”
