I'm here--thanks for running the game!

updated in profile, need to update status bar when I get to work

Checking in.
Mohag is a Clr1, so he mostly heals and buffs.
His Bit of Luck ability is useful on a combatant or skillmonkey.
And with Inspired and Inexplicable Luck, he can hit a high-DC skill check 1/day.
Will probably rebuild him after this, but I think he'll be an asset.

who does he worship?

Desna.

Nice! I like her favored weapon.

I don't.

His stat bar is updated :)

I understand we need to move things along, but talking to a portrait of the Earl feels risky. Is there a psychic connection? Will the Earl now know who we are and what we are doing?

Mohag doesn't know enough about such things to be certain, but he's at least concerned about the possibility.

This is an interesting question.
You could try detect magic.

Thanks for the bone, I've taken the liberty of Detect Magic and making a Knowledge(Arcana) roll. I don't yet have Spellcraft (I know, rookie mistake)... @Drelluandast ?

I've been resisting the urge to speak to the woman, presumably the curator, as she's explicited addressed Remy whilst the rest of us are distracted talking to the painting.

You or anyone can for sure jump in.

Rolled a 2 when I have a +9, ee gads! Sorry for the first failure gang.

No worries--it happens!

Not if you Take 10 like Arrius did! ;)

I love Take 10 and am often surprised at how many GMs think the "Adverse consequence for failure" clause is for Take 10 (it's for Take 20).

Mohag can almost auto-succeed at one skill check per day (using Inspired and Inexplicable Luck) so if we think this is the time, he'll do that. Normally Diplomacy is his best skill of those required here, but since that check has been attempted, he can try Bluff if nobody else has a better option.

He also has Bit of Luck to help others succeed at their skill checks, but the short duration means I think it doesn't work for social interaction.

But unfortunately not in this case!
For the future if you try influencing people please roll to gain successes.
But your second try should autosucceed!

Ok, who's up next to try a check? I have Knowledge (history) +9, but I don't want to hog all of the rolls (and failures...)

Go for it!

If you are the best at it do it.

The next two weeks are going to be nuts with preparation for finals and administration and grading of final exams.

FYI, as a sort of scholar-ambassador, Arrius is pretty good at knowledge checks and social interactions, but don't expect much from him when it comes to non-underwater combat :)

Bethamy is supposed to be a scholar-ambassador too, though the dice/RNG don't seem to be on my side and his abilities can only improve the results a little. I'm definitely looking at Psychic for a future character, Telempathic Projection is great! :-)

Sadly you shouldn't expect much from Bethamy in any combat either, let's just hope his dice rolls improve...

He is supposed to be sneaky, lol and good at throwing things.

I'm worried there's a glitch in the dice roller--that would be an incredible span of luck for Arrius, with three natural 20s. I'm going to test out a few rolls here.

1d20 ⇒ 11

1d20 ⇒ 2

1d20 ⇒ 10

1d20 ⇒ 3

Well, now I have no idea.

lol

Sorry folks, went to an unexpected businesstrip, had only 5 hours of sleep last night and am quite plastered. Will poste tomorrow!

No problem. Hope it is/was a good trip!

Take care

Well, unexpected business trips rarely mean it was a good situation.
Back to business ;-)

I have been doing pre birthday and Christmas prep.

I wish you all a happy X-mas.
Take very good care and the best of times!!

Merry Christmas to all!

Happy NeW Year. I have been in bed the past few days fighting off a cold and catching up on Star Trek Voyager. I think it is my favorite of the Trekkie series.

I'm going to a convention early tomorrow morning till Sunday late afternoon. Please bot me as needed.

Have fun!

Apologies for the radio silence all. I had an accident which left me bed bound and unable to use computers for a while.

It looks like I haven't missed too much in here, would it be OK if I bring Bethamy back in?

Of course!

I hope that you are feeling better, Bethamy.

I had to teach W-F evening after a full schedule at school and then I was teaching all day yesterday. Trying to fight off a sinus something, so trying to catch up :)

Apologies folks, but it appears I overestimated my ability to get back into PbP. I'm still catching up on real life and thus feel I must retire Bethamy from this game.

Best of luck with the rest of the scenario!

Just out of curiousitys sake, what is WF.
Also, out of combat we can say that a tap with the CLW wand always treats 5-6-5-6 HP.

I think he means the days of the week - Wednesday to Friday.

Yes.

Is this chandlery combat using Slide # 3?

Yes

We are almost done.
Please if you want to do something special add this now.
