Huzzah!
Note - the struck-out word was indeed typed before I corrected it. I guess we lack action.

Turn 8 ------------
Players: I'll put the things that were in my casket back in my casket, and try to make it up to Nirur by helping him search.
I sulkily search for the lost items, while throwing angry glances at Cheeetar.
Begin singing and talking to increase Charisma
Go for a quick sneaky scouting session in the surroundings.

CheeetarNirur TorirOrgErrol"
----------------
Deciding that simply sitting here is way too dangerous in their situation, Errol leaves his companions and goes for a quick stroll through the
surviving surrounding grassland. While he's away, Cheeetar and Nirur combine their efforts to search for the items lost from Cheeetar's casket. To inspire them, and likely for his own sinister ends, Org has decided to bless the nature with the sound of his voice, singing a ballad in a forgotten language, from times long past. So clear was his voice, and so masterful was the performance, that both Cheeetar and Nirur became momentarily enthralled, their hands blindly feeling the ground before them. Org's song coninued, and o wonder! Little birds began to flutter around him, almost a dozen of them, of all of the rainbow's colors! They began to land on his outstretched hands, on his shoulders, on his head, in his...
urk... In retrospect, no musical note, no matter how clear and beautiful, should justify leaving your wide mouth open for half a minute when little inquisitive birds are around. Completely concentrated on outperforming himself, Org doesn't care about anything until he tries to inhale and chokes on two ounces of meat, bone and feathers. Despite his panic, he almost manages to perform a Heimlich manuever on himself... except the bird has its own reservations. Utterly confused, the poor thing scrambles its every resource in an attempt to
climb! Scratching Org's throat with its tiny claws, the bird keeps forcing its way..
into him! All of Org's attempts to get the creature out fail, he desperately needs help! Thankfully, the bird is rather small, and still allows some air into Org's lungs with its struggles, but it won't be that way for long.
Having their meditative state abruptly ended, Cheeetar and Nirur spend a moment to assess their findings before looking at Org. They total to eight copper and five silver coins, two plain bronze rings, and one plain iron bracelet. While they stare blankly at each other trying to figure out how that's possible, Errol returns from his scouting mission. He has good news and bad news. Good news - he found a village a short walk from here. Bad news - he also found a sneaky scout-looking person who hastened to run away when he saw him.
------------
Background: [7] For what it's worth, everyone notices Org is struggling to breathe. While scouting - more just wandering, actually - Errol spotted the remains of a cart, but it was further away than he planned to walk. It's on the way to the village, though.
