Amie looks up to see Hans and the other two new people (she hasn’t met Coraline yet). She immediately draws out her holy symbol. Moving closer and bowing to the two new comers she smiles at them politely.
“I see your friends have been wounded Hans, allow me to attend to them quickly.”
Raising the holy symbol high she calls on the power of her deity. “In the name of Erastil!”
'Thank you lady, your kindness does your station proud, Erastil's chosen prove thier faith in their acts, not just in thier words.'
Diego stays by the wounded Hob, keeping an eye on him for any signs of movement, escape or a return to consciousness. He nods to the druid, but seems a bit distasteful at the sight of a full elf.
He also takes a moment to cast Detect Magic on the items found and rolls for Appraise:1d20+7=11, 1d20+7=13, 1d20+7=16, 1d20+7=15, 1d20+7=9
Hans introduces himself to all of the other heroes and asks their names.

To determine the properties of a magic item, you must cast Detect Magic or Identify in conjunction with the Appraise skill. The DC for Appraise is 15 plus the caster level of the item. None of Diego's rolls were high enough to beat their DC without the benefit of Identify. Some of Coraline's rolls (posted in the OOC thread) were high enough, but she does not have access to the Detect Magic or Identify spells, and you unfortunately cannot combine her Appraise checks with Diego's Detect Magic.
Diego can try to identify them, but will have to wait 24 hours to try to appraise them again. Amie, Sevegny, Red Feather and Hans all have access to Detect Magic as a 0-level Orison, if any of them wish to try.

"I am Red Feather, Legend speaker of the Shriikirri-Quah Shoanti, son of Laughing Moon, son of Bright Stone". "May you always find shade and water".
"My name is Diego Dellarillos, heir to dragons and wielder of the Scarlet Flame! May your, um, fires always burn quite warmly!"

Diego would love to identify them. Which ones were magic and which school?

** spoiler omitted **
Okay. You are able to identify the following:
+2 Mithral Chainmail, Silenced
+2 Longsword
+1 Light Wooden Shield
+1 Ring of Protection
You could not identify the studded leather armor or the longbow (which I may have neglected to mention is actually a composite longbow), though you can tell that both are magical.

Calling upon the powerful of a magical glove, Coraline is able to identify some of the items. The studded leather armor and the bone composite longbow remain unidentified. The armor is of the Abjuration school (weak), and the bow is of the Evocation school (strong).
Amie smiles and gives another slight bow to Coraline. “Thank you for your kind words. I am Amie Stargazer. It is my pleasure to help others in need. Please let me know if I may assist any more.” As she stands her eyes appear blue-green in color.
'Coraline Chadrila of the Cups, but many call me Claret, and this is my puppy, Barley Rye.'
Barley 'Prosterior Rectus Bitus' Rye:
*Woof*
Amie’s eyes turn a light blue at the sight of Barley Rye. Her smile grows as she kneels down on one knee and offers a bit of the jerky Tate had earlier given her. “He is a beautiful hound. I had one of the same color when I was younger, though Mitt was quite a bit smaller.”
Amie will scratch Barley Rye behind the ear if he accepts the jerky.
Barley Rye: Wooooooof, wooooooof...
Tail: Wag, wag, wag.

"Well met, all. Hmm... I wonder why the goblins are so restless of late. Is something disturbing their homeland? Maybe one of these captives can tell us."

Are you using the Identify spell, or Detect Magic? The Identify spell adds +10 to each of those rolls. And if you are using Identify, I need to know which item each roll is for, because the two remaining items have different DC's.
Amie stands given Barley Rye a final pat and turns to Hans, her eyes growing darker as she changes her focus to the matter at hand. “I believe there is more to this than just the goblins growing restless. These aren’t the random raids we are used to. They are organized. Skelt has been hit a number of times and we have recovered banners that the goblins seemed to be marching under. No one in the town has ever seen goblins under a banner before. Once these two come around we most definitely should question them. Can any one speak their language?”
Sure. That's actually a good idea.** spoiler omitted **

Coraline rasies her hand.
And whispers 'know thy enemy'.

Diego nods at the idea of questioning the hob. He drags the hob over to a sturdy tree, throws a bit of rope over the branch and begins hauling the hob up, so that it dangles from its feet, its head just three feet from the ground.

If you only used Detect Magic, then you're not able to identify either one of them. Without giving away their exact DC's, I will say that all of you who have examined the items so far seem to find the bow a bit more elusive than the armor.
Barely Rye looks on eagerly at the hob leader's rump.

The rulebook does not list Intimidation among the skills that get the Favored Enemy bonus, but for the life of me, I can't make sense of why that one isn't included. So unless somebody can give me a good argument for why Intimidation shouldn't be included when Bluff is, I'll allow it. There's probably a fine line there that I'm just not seeing, and if anyone knows what it is, please tell me!
Diego will take one of them for questioning. First, he'll cast shocking grasp and make a point of holding the charge mere inches from the hob's face. In Common he'll say "I'm going to ask you questions. If you answer without lying, you'll be stripped of your weapons and armor and set free. If you lie to me, I'll make certain you suffer before you eventually tell me anyway and I kill you with great delight. Because, believe me, everyone talks eventually."
Intimidate: 1d20+11=16
Amie goes to her sack and pulls out a folded banner. “This is a banner the ones in Skelt were carrying. I was allowed to bring it to show the elves. No one knows anything about it and when I left the scholars were still pouring through books to find a reference.” She unfolds it and lays it on the ground for the rest of the party to see, a red fisted hand on a black field.

Which one are you doing this on, the leader or the archer? If the leader, then Coraline had a 24, and yours would be a successful aid check, but it would not quite succeed on its own. It would succeed on the archer, though.

I'll be happy to aid Coraline in any way possible, nudge nudge, and I'd rather question the one that seems in the lead anyway.

Cal is back and eying that mithral chainmail with a look of greed bordering on lechery. If anyone needs help banging on imprisoned hobgoblins, he'll assist in the good cop/bad cop routine. He's pretty adept at both roles.
Did Cal benefit from the healing? I am assuming yes. How much?
Hans picks up the banner and blows his nose on it ostentatiously. "At last! I have something worthy of wiping my dog's backside with. At least, that is, if he doesn't turn his nose up at it. Ye gods! It's a gaudy thing, isn't it?"

Amie walks away form the questioning, knowing there was little should could do to help she focuses on the two items still unknown to the group. The long bow was what caught her eye immediately as she favored the weapon strongly. Noticing the runes she first closes her eyes to get a feel for the weapon. Then she begins her close inspection of both the long bow and the jeweled armor.

Anyone can aid on that knowledge roll. For anyone who does not have ranks in Knowledge (Nobility), the check is just a straight Intelligence check. Anyone who wants to aid will need to roll an Intelligence or Knowledge (Nobility) check, and each success will add +2 to the final roll.

Unfortunately, neither of those appraise rolls is high enough to identify either of these two items. Anyone else want to try? If not, Amaranth can try, but the PCs get first shot at it.
