"Memories of this place? You remember your previous lives? or those of your ancestors?"

"In part yes, it is fuzzy, but I remember the lives I had before, well some of them at least"

"Wonderful! How far back it go? It is like our memory, with some event in the past sticking out and remembered in in detail and some fuzzy or completely forgotten?"

Sid is clearly excited. After a moment

"Sorry, sorry, I don't want to pry too much, but I am extremely interested."

"Its alright, I see this is the first time you have met a Samsaran, but to answer your question, it is exactly like your memory, some events, life times away are as clear as the day they happened, many, many others are but the tiniest, faintest glimpses. But I can not tell you how far back I remember"

Tomid listens fascinated. he had no idea that memories could work that way. Finally he changes the subject asking So, when will we get our first assignments?

Mouse sighs "You'll get one when a job... suitable... for you lot comes around"

"Tomid is eager to show his worth, but I suppose someone will interview us to learn what we are able to do, before they give us a job."

Sid shrug.

"I doubt we will stay here cooling ours heels for long."

The three shake their heads at Sid's comment, The blue one then says "No, the guild finds out what you're good at after the first few assessments, usually after one or two successes and an equal number of failures, as long as you survive that long."

Feeling a little put in his place, Tomid hushes up and eats. He listens to the crowd to try to pick up news and rumors though.

Make a perception check

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 Oh well.

Tomid

Oh great. Tomid thinks as he sits tight lipped and listens for more.

"What's life like here in the Guild Hall, when there's no mission? Do guild members gamble, spar, read books, make up bawdy drinking song lyrics? How does one pass the time?"

Hanz replies "We do what we like! Most keep to themselves, some like to wrestle, some like to read, some like to get drunk at the bar!"

Sid winces at the last words.

Kiriko nods "what notable services does the guild offer"

Tomic looks around for signs of a bar. Now there is something I can help with. he thinks.

Mouse "Access to magic items is the biggest thing, after that is access to spells, then the stuff you can get anywhere"

"I have some small magical ability, I mus speak with someone to let them know that my spellcasting services are available? Or you mean the trading of spells to add to spellbooks?"

Mouse "If you want people to constantly ask for your services you can always advertise you are a caster, but yes you can trade spells for your spell book"

"When we first arrived, two peculiar beings seemed to be concerned about us being in the library. Now that we are officially part of the Guild, are we permitted to use the library to its full extent?" Bennevy ask.

"You should be fine" says Mouse

Finishing a considerable amount of food Tomid stands and announces Well, I'm gonna go find that bar. Likely they need me working there, even if they don't realize it yet.

Sid smile at Tomid words.
"There is an infirmary here? Maybe I can work there, I have some haling skill."

"are there any places we are not supposed to go"

"beside the obvious, like locked doors or private quarters"

"Not really, you will know if there is a place you're not supposed to go" says Hanz

Alright so, what do you guys want to do, for those who are not trying to get some work?

And for those who are, how long you willing to work for?

"that is good to know"

Kiriko plans to make herself familiar with the layout of the guild and the surrounding area, first by looking at maps followed by looking at the relevant areas , with a focus on escape routes and hiding places. Afterwards she plans to pick some pockets at the nearby markets (preferring easy marks and avoiding guild members) keeping her ears open for useful info.

"Besides the library, is there any other repository of knowledge, a museum or artifact room of some sort?" Bennevy asks.

"No, but you can always talk to someone knowledgeable if you must" sighs Mouse

Tomid is still working to gather information about this place, its leadership, its dangers, etc. and he figures he can do that best at the bar. He plans to show up, tell whoever is there that he has been assigned to work there (by himself of course) and start working. He does not ask about wages but sets up a tip jar if one is not already there and begins to ply his trade - which is not bar tending - its gathering information through bar tending. He is going to work hard at least the rest of the day unless someone comes and gets him and will likely work there until something happens to interrupt his schedule.

Alright Tomid, you work for the rest of the day, make a diplomacy check and a sense motive check

Diplo: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Sense Motive: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4

Makes sense since SM is not trained. Tomid tries hard to come across likable and trustworthy. People tell bartenders things all the time that they would not tell good friends. :)

Tomid

Bennevy decides to return to the library. Now that he has no concerns with being there without permission, he begins researching on two fronts: first, the undead, specifically any references to those that came from the sky. Second: he uses the notes and pages he salvaged from the book store fire as a starting point to research information about the fragments of subject matter they contain.

Sid will try to find work in the infirmary or as a scribe for the Guild.
Beside being a way to get some needed money, it is a way to get himself know and (hopefully) liked.

That way we should get better jobs that what is usually handed to newbies (with better he mean "non almost suicide", he get the vibe that there is a lot of deaths in the newbies ranks). Making ourselves useful would reduce that risk.

He will keep hi hears open, but for now he will not push for information.

Alright Bennevy make a knowledge religion check with +5 bonus

Sid make a diplomacy check and a sense motive check

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Sense motive: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

If I need the make checks for the two jobs I would normally take 10.
Heal is: +4 (plus equipment bonus)
Profession (scribe) is: +4 (plus equipment bonus).

Tomid, we are both great at making friends but not so great at reading people. :)

Knowledge, Religion: 1d20 + 7 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 7 + 5 = 30

Sid

Bennevy

When Sid meet the others before bedtime:
"I think we have some stuff to share. From what I have heard in the infirmary recently some guild member has disappeared, at least 5 and there is talk of sending a group outside the city, to one of the nearby kingdoms. You have got something?"

From what I hear its likely we will be that group. They pretty much consider us expendable.

"I found a reference to the undead army. They serve a being known as the Nameless King. They bring their notion of justice down on those who have failed him; however that failure is defined."

what should I roll?

Kiriko roll perception, stealth and sleight of hand

Perception : 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (9) - 1 = 8
slight of hand : 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
stealth: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

Kiriko

Alright moving on, come the next morning, you guys are summoned by the guild master for your first task, you are to see him just before breakfast

"I guess this is it. Time for us to earn our room and board," Bennevy says with a sigh. "I guess we'll see if it's worth the price we're about to pay."

Tomid carefully puts his gear making sure each tool is assessable and in good repair. He spends some time with a whetstone honing his blades. Finally he is as polished as he gets and is ready to to.
