The Red Horns spent many hours perfecting his painting, which slowly came to being as a three dimensonal...being? Statue? Nangnang was certainly solid, and fleshy, and somewhat moist, just as she looked in the painting. She looked real enough to walk and talk. She didn't, of course. But with enough magic, hopefully it would look like she was.

The morning of the ritual dawned bright and clear. The grungs were busy all day. Some were cooking and setting up long tables full of food and drink. Others were weaving flags and kites out of reeds and setting them to flap in the breeze. Children ran around, laughing and splashing each other. A steady stream of attendants came and went from the shrine, helping the king prepare for the ceremony. Krr'ook had little enough time to check in with you once or twice, concern in her lidless eyes.

The sun goes down quickly, as it always does, and fires are lit around the village. The villagers enter the water, watching the shrine while half-submerged. King Groak, wearing a ceremonial robe of orchids and reeds, strides out of the shrine to stand on the top steps. Krr'ook steps forward and speaks prayers and words of supplication to their long-absent deity. Groak's eyes shine in anticipation of meeting his beloved, and he wrings his rubbery hands in anticipation. Sacred herbs are flung into fires, and the commoners break into a worshipful song that fills the village with the sound of loud croaking. Finally, the cacophony fades away, and the village is quiet. It's time to reveal Nangnang.

So, here's what I need from you. A description of what you're doing. Be specific. Animating her successfully requires a Deception check (DC 12), advantage possible based on your descriptions. Convincing Groak her words are genuine requires Deception or Performance, (DC 15), at disadvantage if he can't understand her language (he only speaks grung). Selling her blessed departure as being temporary requires Deception, Persuasion or Intimidation (DC 15), at disadvantage if not in grung, possible advantage to any roll based on what exactly you're doing. So...take it away! Let the performance of a lifetime, begin!!
