I think Matt already had the petshop thought out before Molly died, and the peacock was supposed to be an impulse buy for our tiefling😭😭

[@Asgardian30]

Yea I saw that too.

[@Arcyo]

Travis is dying on the inside, and I love it. There is some real-life trauma when he sees those impulse purchases.

[@PerfectChaosZeta]

That or he's thinking about how his marriage almost ended over Trinket and a broom in campaign one. He fears the things Laura gets attached to in these things. At least now as not-Grog, he's a lot less likely to bork shit up like when he slapped Trinket on the ass lol.

That would be adorable

[@dabaron7015]

This is either the most adorable or most twisted thing Matt has done so far. It's a miracle Kirri got out unscathed, so this feels like they are pushing their luck, especially with so many animals. The question is, does Nott eat the weasel or the owl?

lets hope Jester is better at rolling animal handling checks than Vex.

I love the idea of pets in D&D. In a campaign I’m in, my Aasimar Bard bought a mammoth and awakened it. So now the two are best friends and ride together wherever they go, they are basically inseparable. Also, it’s also in Bard style to just show up out of know where riding on a mammoth that’s barded, ready for battle.

[@chrismais]

The look on Talesin's face is making me laugh watching this...

[@ARCTIC9924]

This happened in a campaign I was playing in, but it kinda got weird fast. We got a blinkdog that stuck with us long enough to fully grow, and had enough of a bond with our abnormally small gnome wizard that the wizard would ride him. Along with the fact that my dm ruled that their magic was attuned in a way that the wizard could be teleported with the blinkdog if he was riding him.....
