Oh sweet. What would you consider cutting it down to, within the 5 hours?
Hey guys, just wanted to let you know I'm going to be at a con until late Sunday evening, so I probably won't have much opportunity to post.
Sure, Nishoh.
Nishoh's gear has been updated. Woohoo for 3 pistols at level 1 haha.
We need to make another round of checks for goal two right?
Yes, but I'd like to have Alyssia and possibly Leon roll before we move to a new round to avoid confusion. If Alyssia doesn't post something by tonight, I'll just roll for her and then we can move on to the next round.
Sounds like a plan, thanks.
Alyssia might still be sick. I hope she's feeling better!
Aurlia has two sets of manacles now. Do we have any more? The touch of the sea/air crystals idea is interesting, we are going to be a boat. Also, yay for having a fancy dragon pistol!
All these guns. What happened to just punching someone in the face? ;-)
Sorry, guys. I'm at my parent's place for Labor Day without a computer.
You guys can start a new round of skill checks. I won't have a new post until you hit goal 2 or you begin round three.
Goal Two
• Alyssa - Sense Motive -
• Fortinbras - Diplomacy -
• Therie Gorget - Sense motive -
• Leon Hatcher - Diplomacy -
• Jesselle Wesmere - Sense Motive - (unless a +1 is added for detect magic use.)
• Nishoh - looks like the GM counted your Perception check for Goal One (saying you can only roll once, the 2nd roll was not counted for Goal Two)
• Vivian Darr - looks like the GM counted roll for for Goal One, though the description does seem to indicate it was for Goal Two
• Aurlia - needs a Goal Two check
Unless we can try different aspects (make more than one roll for the Goal Two challenge with a different skill than the ones attempted) than we did not reach 6 success. It would be hard to do so as well, a 6 success of 8 checks makes Goal Two a very challenging goal.
I also believe that we need to be clear about which Goals we are rolling for, it does seem that some of the checks counted for Goal One were meant for Goal Two.
Do we move on then? Goal Three is much easier at 3 success.
The way I read it, Jesselle's first check got us past Goal One and we moved on to Goal Two. At least that's what I thought when I made my first roll but I should have put that the roll was for goal two, that was my mistake.
If you add mine and Vivian's first rolls then we're at 5/6, possibly 6/6 if Jesselle's gets the +1 bonus.
I was doing goal 2, and I read it as Aurlia read it.
Sorry sorry. My brewery is gearing up for a beer fest in northern Michigan this weekend. Things are crazy right now, but it should be all cleared up by Sunday. I'm going to try and get a post up first thing tomorrow.
This is where I'm at in the Skill Challenge.
The party is currently in round 2 of 3.
The party is working towards the conclusion of Goal 3 with 1 success out of 3 required.
The only players that have participated in the second round have been Therie, Jesselle, Aurlia, and Vivian. So I still need checks from Alyssia, Leon, Fortinbras, and Nishoh.
Also, for Goal 3, every check gets a +2 bonus because "Telesan" shared his skyseer vision with the rest of the cell.
I'm still in Goal 2? I posted an action for it earlier--it was my Diplomacy check to wrangle up some kids.
I thought I participated in round 2 as well.
Like the others I am a little confused, Jesselle has only made 2 roll attempts, Goal One and Goal Two. I had asked if a +1 bonus for the use of detect magic while scanning the crowd for possible suspects was possible, as it would have pushed the check to 15.
I think the confusion is coming from the language of "rounds" and "goals."
Think of the "rounds" like combat, ie. you get one skill check per round. A round is not over until every member of the party has made a skill check. This accounts for everybody's actions in that, in this case 10 minute, time period.
In skill challenges, you have a number of "rounds" to reach certain checkpoints, which I've been referring to as "goals." You can work towards more than one goal in a round, as long as they're done in order.
You should be making one skill check per round, not per goal.
This my current tally chart for the challenge. I'll try to explain how I've been following your actions so that we can avoid future confusion.
Round 1:
Jesselle: Knowledge (Local) to Help Brief the Local Authorities = Success (1/1 successes required to complete Goal 1, the party can now roll skill checks towards Goal 2. 1/11 total successes required for 100% completion.)
Vivian: Sense Motive = Success (1/6 successes for Goal 2. 2/11 total successes)
Aurlia: Diplomacy for Cop Recruitment = Success (2/6 successes for Goal 2. 3/11 total successes)
Nishoh: Sense Motive = Fail (2/6 successes for Goal 2. 3/11 total successes)
Therie: Diplomacy = Fail (2/6 successes for Goal 2. 3/11 total successes)
Fortinbras: Diplomacy = Success (3/6 successes for Goal 2. 4/11 total successes)
Leon: Diplomacy = Success (4/6 successes for Goal 2. 5/11 total successes)
Alyssia: Sense Motive = Fail (4/6 successes for Goal 2. 5/11 total successes)
That concludes the rolls made in Round 1. Now Round 2 begins.
Round 2:
Jesselle: Sense Motive = Success (5/6 successes for Goal 2. 6/11 total successes)
Aurlia: Diplomacy for Cop Recruitment = Success (6/6 successes for Goal 2. Skill checks can now be made towards Goal 3 as described in a previous post with a +2 bonus because Aurlia shared her vision with you all. 7/11 total successes)
Vivian: Perception (Observe the dissidents) = Success (1/3 successes for Goal 3. 8/11 total successes.)
Nishoh: Sense Motive (Confrontation) = Fail (1/3 successes for Goal 3. 8/11 total successes.)
I hope that clears everything up!
Missed Therie's horrible Perception roll in Round 2. Not that I'll complain if you let me re-roll....
Now that makes sense, and yes I have been mixing up rounds and goals. Thank you for the clarification.
NOW it all makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up! I'll get my post up when I'm home. :)
Like Therie, I'm fine if you'll let me have a reroll, but it seems to me you're ignoring Leon's Knowledge (local) roll that I posted before (it was a failure).

Bah. I did miss that. I've updated my tally.

I'm ignoring it because it wasn't relevant. Jesselle had already succeeded on the roll for Goal 1. Your roll wasn't required, since you can't put Knowledge (Local) towards Goal 2. That's why I used the Diplomacy you rolled after that. :)
Oh, okay, cool. I'll roll for Round 2 then.
Sorry if this is confusing, guys. These types of things are infrequent, I swear. :)
It's just new. Or maybe I like it because it is testing skills I'm good at. :-)
Hey, guys. I've got that beer festival this weekend. The festival is on Saturday, but it's about 8 hours from where I live, so I'll be spending most of today and Sunday travelling.
I will try to find a quiet moment to post, but I can't make any promises until Sunday evening. After that, my schedule clears up and it's back to normal.
No worries. Have fun at the festival!
Thanks for letting us know, have fun!
I'll give Leon the night to post before I push on. Just keeping everybody updated!
Oops, yeah, sorry, I got swamped with work at school and such, things have been nuts the past two days. I'll get a post up later today, I think.
Blah... what are the odds... a 1, and than a 20 to try and fix the failure.
I failed to mention in my latest post that the skill challenge is over. We can roleplay the rest of this free of rounds.
I just wanted to check, do we still get the +2 bonus to the good cop/bad cop routine even though we've passed the round 3 checks?
Sure.
Hey, just got back from a double gameday weekend. I'll be posting tomorrow when I get back from work.
Posting dropped off, guys. Is there more confusion about what's happening?
I'll try and post tomorrow, I had a minor family emergency come up. Alyssia, if you want to talk to our perp first feel free, otherwise ill get something up tomorrow night
I think I'd prefer if 'Telesan' talked to our perp first. Alyssia's a little more blunt, and it wouldn't be a good way to start. :P
Hope your family emergency is going okay. =[
When it comes to suspect interrogations and the likes Therie is taking a back seat for the moment. She's more there to protect Fortinbras, and the civilians. Been waiting for his response... Therie can take the lead if is needed but he mentioned he should be back to posting today.
So I'm leaving for a different province right away for my wedding social (Think giant hall party thing). No idea what my internet availability will be till Monday, so may or may not be able to post anything signficant.
Hey all, just letting you know I won't be posting much for the next couple of days. Tomorrow I'm running back-to-back PFS slots at a local convention, and the day after is my birthday, so I'll have family stuff going on. Try not to move too far without me!
Just a heads up for everybody: I'm going to be moving to a new place on Sunday, so the only access to the internet for a little while will be at work. My posting will be limited in that time frame.
Were Aurlia and Jessele forgotten? We were trying to get the Duchess her room. Unless i missed it of course.
No! I just ran out of time to write that post up earlier. Something will be up shortly.
I apologize to everyone, but due to a new work and home situation I don't believe I will be able to continue this campaign. I wish everyone else all the best.
I'm sorry to hear that, Therie. The door is always open if you want to come back.
Not a lot of posting going on right now. Am I pacing this too slow?
Sorry, starting at a new university this week, and my schedule's been a little crazy.
