JZ's Carrion Crown - COMPLETE! (Inactive)

Game Master JamZilla

Just wanted to wish everyone a happy new year. Loving the campaign J. In it to the bitter end!

With all the grim stuff that keeps happening it might be bitter too...

J. Any campaign info on this town?

What do you want to know? A knowledge local will tell you basically what I said in the description - that it's a university town, also famous for its standing stones etc. As you discover areas I'll also place them on the map and update the campaign tab with notable NPCs

Was just wondering if there was standard info like you had on Ravengro. No probs dude. We'll find out what we need to as we go.

I would like to apologise for my lack of posting recently it's been a mix of illness lack of internet and laziness I shall up my game from now on sorry guys

So J. The beast has stolen a statue of Cthulu?

......I don't know what a statue of a scary tentacle monster from beyond the stars makes you think of cthulu.

I've added the money to your loot, if you see anything I've missed let me know/ update me with what you buy.

Time to get your deerstalker caps on guys, there's detective work to be done!

Can we get a link to the loot please markus

Whoops sorry thought i had linked it, but her you go.

Loot Link.

You haven't added and taken off the master work full plate I bought before we left Markus just so you know

Morast is about 8 miles or two and a half hours away by foot. Less if you decide to hustle and risk fatigue or take horses.

Well it looks like we may have to buy a horse probably a wise investment since the next few days we will be all over the place

As well as investigating the three crimes you may want to look into the break in at the university also - but that's up to you.

Ok, to make things easier what have we all decided about staying and going? I'm not sure why we should split up we'll get to Morast about 6 PM i see us only taking 20 minutes makes with the beast. We may have to split up in the next few days as our time begins to run out thought.

So to make this easier and quick on Jam what do people vote? since we're 2 for 2 against staying and not staying.

My vote is not to split up everyone has different knowledges and skills and we may need them all to get all the clues we need. Though I suppose only one of us can speak in court so who ever that is may have to be apart from us. How does the court system work jam?

Basically it's a diplomacy check to presentevidence or rebutt evidence the prosecution present. What you say and the evidence you have grants you modifiers. So no, not everyone is well suited to it

Sorry for the absent posting guys - today and tomorrow will be complicated for me to participate much - got an upcoming Accountings Exam... Gotta love it :/

Will try to update later today.

I'll be honest. My diplomacy sucks so I won't be the best to stand up in court. That should be our top diplomat which is probably Markus or Cara I assume. There's too much info gathering to be done to all move as one. We need two groups so that's my vote.

No worries Cara, good luck with your exam!

Guys, before I move on I need a definite answer to the following questions;

Are you splitting up?

If yes, who is staying and who is going?

Thanks

So if I'm understanding this correctly, Seb and Jon are getting horses whilst the others talk to the Beast but then everyone is going to Morast.

Can someone just confirm if that's right?

Going through Gameplay right now - updates in a few, but you guys know me - I am always in favour we sticking together, not only because we are tough as nails as a group [:D], but also for game terms - splitting up is dodgy.

Though in this case it may be useful - I am finishing my read.

Boys, boys, boys... The lady goes out of the room for TWO minutes, and you are already getting yourselves into trouble, and causing a ruckus... :D

Wouldn't it be easier for us all to go to the stable after talking to the beast rather than Jon bringing them all the way through town since I'm assuming the stables are on the out skirts of town if there is any common sense in the building of the the town so people aren't always bring horses through the streets. Plus arguing is good role playing lol

Yeah. Thats right j. We'll all go to morast together once Jon and I have got the horses. My gather info and diplomacy is poor so in this scenario I'll not be much use. So i'm Concentrating on the practicalities to save time instead.

I would imagine we can bring horses through the city to the courthouse , we will leave from there saves going back.
The beast looks bad ass by the way no wonder they want to burn his ass.

Bribery is an act of giving money or gift giving that alters the behavior of the recipient. I would say that would including changing someones attitude to give you information and yes sometimes they do give rewards for information in cases but that is all gotta be aprroved by judges and courts and done legally not just on the fly by someone helping the defense that would be my argument to why I am against it in game

The dwarven bonus of +4 dodge bonus to AC against giants I'm guessing is just against giants not those of the giant sub-type

Yes its against humanoid(giant) so includes trolls, ogres, ettins. Etc

That is cool I will have to remember that

Think all we can do here is play a waiting game. Hit cover and wait for it to come out of that cloud. When it does we need to hit it with every ranged attack we have.

J. How tall are these trees?

About 20 feet.

Levelled up! Took point blank shot as a feat because you need it for precise shot. Thanks god I get a feat every level.

Also can I use 2pps to get 3 skill points?

Court Rules

I will also post this in campaign info tab.

Any evidence collected must be submitted to the Clerk of the Court by 9am on the morning it is due to be presented at trial.

Once the evidence is submitted, the group will be held in the Defense Chamber until called to the stand where you will be questioned and dismissed.

While multiple members of the group can be called to the stand, only one PC can present each piece of evidence.

Only one PC can make the check for a specific piece of evidence and only one check can be made for each piece.

The trial works as a series of Diplomacy checks made by the PC presenting the evidence to the court in response to Kaple's questions and the prosecution's cross-examination. The diplomacy check is modified both by the quality of evidence and the quality of roleplaying to deliver it.

Proceedings take place between 10:00am and 14:00pm for the next three days.

Bring it ON! I've been watching ally mcbeal religiously in preparation for this! I am so ready lol ;)

Prosecutor Otto Heigel is gonna tear you apart on the stand, Jon.

Wow. Lvl 5 came quick! Will lvl up kater j.

Wohoo! Level 5 :D

Caradwen is updated

Levelled up j. Got lazy and took average HP.

At some point someone might want to keep an evidence log on their character sheet

Ok, what's the plan? Who going to stay in court and who's going out to investigate [the university and find out about the tools] we'll all head out to hergstag to investigate? Get your votes in.

I'll look into tools and the uni I'll be no good in a court room

What time does the trial finish jam? Im just wondering if we all go investigate after the trial will we be fatigued the next day? Also will witnesses be in town now the trial has started or in their villages?

Finishes about 2pm and as for the witnesses, they are in their villages. Only Karl, the assistant from the sanctuary fire lives in town.

fatigued isnt that bad.

Telegraphic post from my phone, more in a few: perhaps we should not gather all the 'diplomats' in court - we may need such skills also to investigate the University?

So... Now I am in front of my PC :D

What I meant to say was that, if we decide upon how many evidence we would like to present - I guess in this case the two that offer us any bonuses would be the most appropriate - this means that we should only need two people at court, right? One for each piece of evidence.

Or are we forced to present all that pertains to these particular events in and around Morast on the same court session?

I was also reading back our conversation with Hugo, and noticed there was a tidbit here about his friend, that we actually didn't investigate further I believe...

That being said, and if we do not have to present all the evidence regarding Morast today, I would bet on a group with two 'diplomats' in court, and another with one 'diplomat' investigating the University in the morning. What do you say?
