Soooo you're not going to research the prisoners?

That would be my choice, but then again, info is power. :)

And experience points...

Can we research them at the Lorrimor home?

It doesn't say you can't, so yes though the Lorrimor place only gives a bonus to researching the Whispering Way. The best place to do research in general is the Temple and through Ingrid, I've given you guys a great in to the Temple.

The Lorrimor Place: Kendra offers to let the PCs use her father’s
personal library to research, free of charge and
regardless of the PCs’ current Trust point total.
Lorrimor’s library provides a +2 bonus on all Knowledge
checks made to research the Whispering Way.

Ravengro Town Hall: The records kept at the town
hall provide a +2 bonus on all Knowledge checks made
to research Harrowstone or the Five Prisoners, but the
town council normally does not allow visitors to use
the building at all. A DC 25 Diplomacy check is enough
to convince the council to let one PC use the site.
Once the PCs accumulate at least 31 Trust points, though, the
council lets the entire party use the site for research.

Temple of Pharasma: The temple of Pharasma has
extensive notes on the town’s history, and is perhaps the
best site for research. Using the temple’s records grants
a +4 bonus on all Knowledge checks made to research
Harrowstone, the Five Prisoners, or the Whispering Way,
but securing permission to use this site for research
requires a DC 25 Diplomacy check or a Trust score of 30.

The Unfurling Scroll: This building is a combination
schoolhouse and magic item shop run by one Alendru
Ghoroven; using its small library provides a +2 bonus
on all Knowledge checks made to research Harrowstone.
It cannot be used to research the Whispering Way at all.
Alendru asks for a 10 gp payment for each day that he
allows anyone to use his school’s resources, unless the PCs
reach a Trust point total of 27, at which point he waives
the fee and allows PCs to use the library free of charge.

XP Awards: Conducting research into the town’s
history also brings experience awards, as listed for each
DC result below. Award these XP rewards only once—the
first time these pieces of information are learned.

Ravel, with a will roll like that, I think you might be posessed. :)

I was almost expecting to fail that...

Sorry Ake!

:)

My players amped their saves as far as possible when we played.

Even now, it still tickles me silly when this stuff happens.

hehehe!

I think I have the amped up saves.
Standard cleric, and then steel soul.

Glory of old mixed in there already. :)

And the first damage to a PC award goes to....

Ravel!

To Ake, in the kitchen, with claws!

Tell me Ravel, how does it feel to be one of handful of creatures that has damaged a PC and expects to survive longer than the next few rounds?

:)

You know you go out there and you try to play a good game, and it's a team effort really, and tonight we gave a hundred percent. I'd like to thank the angry vengeful spirits of Ravengro, I couldn't have done it without them.

Roflmfao, I love you guys.

Also, Happy Turkey Day!

We are having Tia/Chinese today, sending the girls to grandma's house for two days then having our day on Sunday.

Chinese because my wife feels my cooking skills are...not up to her standards.

Happy Thanksgiving to you, too! I got roped into making the ham... again. I swear, you make the ham one year and it turns out really good and all the sudden you have to make it every single year.

My older brother, who lives with me, and I are going to our little brother's house this year. My daughter stayed the night with my mom last night, and we're picking them up along the way.

Happy T Giving from a Canuck. :)

"Don't worry, Torag will heal this!"

Torag looks down "WTF??? Why is he healing a goblin?"

*sub par healing*

"So uhm.. where are those bandages again?"

Thats the reason. But he also thinks that all things can be redeemed. :)

Just don't get on his bad side. :)

And turkey coma is over! Everyone eat up then shopped til you dropped?

I don't do Black Friday.

I am staying as far away from department stores this weekend as I can possibly get.

I'm working, but my store doesn't do Black Friday so we're super slow. After this weekend we'll be dead until Spring.

Well that kinda sucks :/

Actually, it's good. Management doesn't care if you're fiddling around online as long as there is no one around and you're job is pretty well and done, so my gaming activity will go up some.

Lol, nice!

Lol, what kind of store is it?

Normally wouldn't except my TV died at about 7:30 last night. Quick trip to Target, got a great deal.

@Ioann: Local general retail shop that specializes in appliances and small tools. I'm the generalist, able to sell pretty much anything but since I'm not a specialist I get paid rather poorly...

Dice roller still hates me, even if someone else is rolling the dice.

@Orin: That sucks, I am a commission based salesman myself, but my pay is quite good for a person without schoolen'.

I'm not leaving my house til Monday. Got my best friend over so we're video gaming and playing Pathfinder in between watching movies.

Ake, it hates you?? I thought it hates me.

Lets see, one more roll on this side.
But it doesn't count. :)

channel: 1d6 ⇒ 6

oh sure, now it get a good roll. :)

Sorry, been a bad couple days for me mentally. Hopefully I'll be better now.

Gellius, take care of the health, and the rest will come along. :)

I agree with that.

Also, I have noticed that Ioann is drawing quite a bit of attetion... if you want, I can tone down his jerkiness! I don't want anyone to enjoy the game less because of the way I play him.

Damn Grimburrow, you're smooth! :P

Ioann being frustrating is fine with me, as long as the characters can work through it. Not everybody gets along immediately and it's nice to ruffle some feathers.

I agree with Ravel, nice post GM!

I agree as well.

Make your research rolls whenever. I'll get the info up tomorrow. This one's a little trickier. I'll explain it as we go.

all I will and can do is assists unless it is religion or arcana.

OK, again, you can actually use the knowledge skills untrained according to the AP while doing research in one of the buildings laid out in the book.

Using any of these sites to research

information about Harrowstone or the Whispering Way
allows a character to make Knowledge checks untrained
(although doing so negates any bonus on skill checks the
research site might provide).

Whereas it doesn't specify the five prisoners, it is implied in the rest of the text. The five prisoners are basically an extension of the Harrowstone topic.

That being said, Ravel, there is nothing left to learn about Harrowstone itself you guys have already hit the highest DC on both Harrowstone and The Whispering Way. All that is left to research is the five prisoners.

I understand that from an OOG perspective, but IG Ravel doesn't know that she won't discover that information, hence why she was looking over Harrowstone (and after the fact justified by the low roll)

That's fine, I appreciate people sticking to what their character would do. I just wanted to make sure that you understood.

Ake, you're up in the new game and if you're checking for traps in this one then make your rolls.

Traps..traps...roll...

HAHAHAHAHAH!!!

Sorry if I'm being slow to post the last couple of days, guys. I've got an ear infection that's kicking my butt.

No worries on my part. Health first, the rest falls into place after that. :)

:D thanks. Just be glad I'm sparing you guys from my whining.

lol about the whining! Hope your infection heals quickly!

As if I'm not used to your whining :P Heal quickly, punk, so you can kill us faster.

Here's wishing a speedy recovery!

Get better soon, and whine all you want.

Listens deeply at the monitor, hears nothing

I can not hear any whining from this side of the ...oh, right, text has no sound:)

Heal up!
