Do we want to go for those DC 20 and 25 knowledge checks? Aral has our best ratings in both subjects with +6. With assistance from the Professor's and the town hall's library that is a +10 (DMZM- can we just Take 10 to assure that we all assist?) If at least 3 people can assist, then we have +16 and that is enough for Aral to get it by taking 10. I hate rolling for these things because it can cost you a bunch of time if the dice gods are uncooperative. Edit: Just checked and we cannot take 10 to assist, but if three including the NPC's can make the check then Aral doesn't need to roll. If 3 do not suceed at assisting, then we can just hope he rolls above a 10.

The game is based on time. You have 30 days till "D-day" so the way it runs it should build tension as you search for clues and start putting things together and things will get "hairier" as the month progresses.
We are still on day one and you all are way ahead as I see it.
And taking ten might be allowed after you have researched a subject, or used a place for X number of days. This would mean you spent those days searching and not finding anything but you need not go back through all the info again, you have placed it aside. You will need to roll until then, sorry.
Researching takes a whole day - with breaks for meals ;) - and you could go about in groups of two or more. But only Aral is allowed to use the Town Hall spot to research.
There is still the Unfurling Scroll and Harrowstone itself to see about finishing the research part.

Hope no one minds me tryin' to get the ball rolling. I figured after a day of no posting I ought to move it along a bit. :)
(This is my first pbp, so if I'm committing a faux pas, please let me know. I'll gladly conform to social niceties and whatnot.) :)
| Talia Senshir |
Yeah, I'm all for in-character tension, long as it doesn't bleed through (dram should be left to the stage!)
Oh, and mayhaps this is a good time to mention that I've a tendency, on occasion, to write (as my last IC post will attest!) Hope no one minds reading... :)
LOL. I just noticed that Talia's the only good-aligned character in our group. Got my work cut out for me! ;)

Setting myself to move things to the next day THUR night. If you have anything else you wish to do before bed let me know.
Does anyone have scribe scroll?
Yay! I wasn't sure if we were allowed or able to take crafting feats. If so, then I'll likely pick up scribe scroll and/or potions, if that's okay. (Though, of course, I'll have to wait 'till 3rd level... :)

This module is all about the down time. You will have travel time to invest in scroll scribing and down time between things to craft potions and such.
If you were to say sovle the mystery of Harrowstone in two weeks then the group will have two more weeks of "wait time" on their hands till leaving Ravengro.
So if you want to craft it will be no problem.

That will be no problem. :)
Ok wishing to advance SUN night (MON day). Just to let you in on somethings.
A- The Restlands is about 20 mins north of Ravengro.
B- Harrowstone is about 10 mins south of Ravengro.
C- Researching requires most of the day to do. So if you were to spend a lot of time traveling (like going both to the Restlands and then Harrowstone) you would not be able to research.
D- Going to one place and then wishing to come back and research will depend on the amount of time you spend and said place.
So the plan is still for Aral to go talk with Father Grimburrow and then go from there correct? Is the group going along or will they wait at teh Lorrimor house?
| Talia Senshir |
I think the group can go with, but I don't think Talia and I should go in because we have already been there and failed once.
I agree. I'd dread the inevitable "You again?". Or, the even more inevitable, "A divorce already? Sheesh!". :)

Zombie Master :Just a question and I know it would add to your book-keeping : Would it be possible to do research in halfday increment ?
For the other players : In case you do not know, Pharasma is something of a state religion in Ustalav . I would say 70% to 80% of the population is mainly worshipping her due to the traumatism undeath and Tar Baphon had on the public psyche there. Zombie Master will correct me if I am wrong of course.

I will see about the half/researching for you robin.
Been busy this weekend a lot of work and a party to get to in half an hour. Plan- to be to intoxicated to post tonight so tomorrow morning.
Until then Aral will need a couple aid anothers to get his check up.
Anyone wish to assist please make a roll and post in up by noon tomorrow.

I will allow a half a days research to go through on the condition that the two half days are back to back.
You would go to say the Town hall and start researching and thus making piles or sorting. If you don't return the next day then someone else might get into those files and move things. So it is best you do half research on back to back days.
In game I just need to know if you are going to go to the Restlands or Harrowstone or both.
