Well, the place looks like a workshop. So, an experiment conducted by old hunters?
And the writing?
Not sure about that. Season/time it can be activated/most effective? Or something more indirect, like "in time of need"?
Let's check the jar. It probably says "In case of emergency, break glass".
Did everyone see the update?
Nope, will reply tomorrow.
Must have been the boards still being wierd, sometimes it drops the (new) thing
Ah yeah, saw it but forgot to click.
Will check it out when I'm on the computer.
See it now.
I will get another post up probably tomorrow or the next day
I'd like to try to dig up any information about a city under this city.
I'd also like to try to track down the man with the tattoos.
Dominic, you could help with the first one.
Sybille, you could help with the second.
How do you propose to go about doing that?
Don't bog me down with the details, sir. ':D
I had guessed lore hunting would be a Diplomacy:gather information check, but maybe there's a library we could use instead?
I had guessed tracking the man (I think I'll just call him "the omen" from now on) would be a mix of following disappearance reports/beast attacks, asking around if anyone had seen him or the girl, and looking in places where refugees might want to hide.
Well I'm not so much concerned with what checks need be made, I can handle that. I want to know what your plan is.
Not trying to pressure, if you don't have a plan that's valid too. I just want to get an idea of what your character is doing in-game
Asking questions of shady characters, skulking about in the shadows, being obsessive. Just normal stuff like that.
Leveled up. +1 BAB, +1 all Saves, more Acro, Perception, & Stealth, +1d6 sneak attack, and perhaps most importantly, I gained the Scent ability as well as the ability to sense Shapechangers.
If that last part is going to mess with your game, GM, I'll change it out.
IMO normal Yharnam beasts aren't necessarily shapechangers, they are afflicted by a disease that permanently transforms them. What's the range and details on it?
It's a Medium range Divination. Normally that would take 10 mins or 1 spell point + 1 standard action. Of course I took it alongside Scent so I could "sniff out" the afflicted, and took a boon to reduce the normal 10 mins to 1 minute. Or I can use one of my 9 SP to do it fast.
I wasn't sure if they'd actually have the "Shapechanger" subtype or not, but I thought it was a close enough adaptation to the setting. And it's by no means an "always on" kind of awareness. More like "better than a blood test".
Oh, and FWIW I get this by taking the Divination Sphere and already having the Alteration Sphere. You gain "detect x" effects based on what you already know. Since my Alteration comes from the same basic source as the Scourge Beasts, it made sense to me.
They don't have shapechanger but I can work with it
Sybille will help Morgam with tracking - perhaps also asking other hunters if they saw or heard anything suspicious.
Linking the player's handbook, so I don't have to keep searching for it: Player's Handbook
Remind me how we were doing health?
Average +1
What was the name of your contact again?
Is this an invitation for me to create a specific contact?
I'm trying to make sure everyone has agency, so yes.
Sorry between two jobs I lost track of this. Tomorrow after work number one I'll get a post up.
Don't forget to level too if you haven't already.
I haven't yet but I saw the post about it.
I will point out that Sybille made an offhanded comment about the Pthumerians back in the underground. Just so we don't suspect me of suddenly making things up
I remember something about that, but I don't think Morgam knows anything about them does he?
Not that I know, but he has heard the term before. I will try and update the quest for knowledge tonight
Grim are you around?
Sorry, been with out internet for a bit, just go on without me.
Everyone leveled up and ready to continue?
Yessir. Just waiting on the RP to be resolved.
All I have left to do is allocate skill points, so Im good to go.
Don't forget to update your header.
Yup, Dominic is good.
I'm good.
Where do your characters live?
If there's a foreign quarter I'm going to say Morgam lives there. Someplace nice enough but small and out of the way.
Is that kind of what you mean?
That'll do
I think Sybille lives somewhere in the Central Yharnam, either in a house of her parents, or together with her master Ernhart. Or maybe both.
I have to echo Morgam, Sigmund would most likely be considered a foreigner.
I imagine Dominic's family has a place in whichever neighborhood plays host to impoverished but still self-important nobles. So... somewhere near a school or the church?
I will update tomorrow hopefully
Sorry Ive been sick as a dog for the last few days so posting motivation is low. I'll get you my post tomorrow for thursday morning.
Where are the gutters/slums that the Loran refugees congregate?
I want to go there.
Towards the heart of the city below the oldest structures. It's hottly contested among the hunters in the room but you can try and stake a claim.
Anyone wants to go to Byrgenwerth with Sybille?
You wanna go into the darkest forest around which is full of monsters willingly? That's a terrible idea.
I'll go first.
;)
