[ACG Playtest] The Sarkorian Prophecy
Human Investigator HP:70/70 | AC:21 | T:15 | FF:18 | CMD:22 | Fort:+7 | Ref:+12 | Will:+9 | Init:+2 | Perc:+d6+10 | Sense Motive:+d6+14 (better of 2 rolls for d20 & d6)

Barlo quickly stows his crossbow, and chugs an extract.
"I can point her out at least..."

Drink Echolocation extract, and will switch to Limning Sword Cane.

Barlo steps back to give Chara room to swing. He stows his cane, and loads his crossbow with cold iron bolts.
"Your suffering will soon come to an end, hag. Her resistances dull your strikes. Swing harder and she will soon fall."

using Inspirational Expertise (Ex):
: An investigator successfully
uses a Knowledge check to identify a monster’s special
powers or vulnerabilities he can expend one use of
inspiration pool as swift action to grant allies that can
hear him and are within 30 feet of him +4 insight bonus
on attack rolls against that monster or type of monster
for 1 round. An investigator must be at least 7th level to
take this investigator talent.

Barlo creates a small ring of debris around him as he casually enters the ground, and emerges on the far side of the hag a few moments later.

(burrow 15' movement, double move)
(incidentally, I had the wrong bonus on my knowledge roll. With a +24 instead of +10, my result was actually 34)

Is there a link for the second map?
I don't know how far I am from an adjacent position.

Barlo draws the blade from his cane, steps back and studies the changes the creatures form takes.
"Well that certainly isn't going to change my mind. I'm afraid you are still not invited."

Know(arcane, local, nature, or planes): 1d20 + 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (8) + (2) + 10 = 20 (15 if another knowledge is needed instead.)
5' step + draw weapon, swift begin Kirin Style

"Mhmm... terribly sorry, but he is right.
I hope you understand as a soldier... caution is not an accusation, and ..
the mission comes first."

diplo!: 1d20 + 1d6 + 12 ⇒ (2) + (6) + 12 = 20 using soldiery pragmatism so as not to upset her

Barlo extricates himself from the earth after tunneling his way to the barrow... He casually eyes the woman as Kasei approaches her with a healing touch.

"You have been here a few days?
How long ago were you separated from your unit?"

sense motive (better of 2d20 + better of 2d6 + 12): 2d20 ⇒ (2, 7) = 9
2d6 ⇒ (4, 6) = 10
7+6+12=25

Barlo feels another blast of stinging winds halt his progress.
"Alright.. alright.."
He takes a vial from his belt, and chugs it.
"I'll meet you there!"

Str: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
move action:failed movement, std action: drink Burrow extract.

Barlo wills himself forward through the hot stinging winds and flying debris. His thoughts become focused on the words.. "get there.. get there.." repeating through his head like a mantra.

str check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

double move

Barlo starts to wrap his cloak several times around his head while answering Alcibie.
"Not by any mundane means. Unstable... containment would be near impossible. Even through arcane means... it would likely be a poor return on investment."
He tries to keep up, but the winds temporarily halt his progress.

Str check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
kn(nature): 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (2) + 22 = 24 (looking signs that the duststorm or its movement toward us differs from what could naturally occur)

Sorry just got back from unexpected 20 hour roadtrip.

I think I am ready. Ready for inspection anyway.

Barlo closes his journal and stands. "I don't believe I have any questions. If our job is simply to retrieve the prophecy, I don't believe I need to prepare myself to fully grasp its meaning."

He turns to the samurai as he stows his writing supplies.
"Not terribly religious myself, but I have always had an affinity toward Irori. I admire those who attain greatness armed with little more than an unquenchable will."

Barlo Balfori bows his head in farewell to Venture Captain Thurl.

Barlo sits pondering the words... rolling his steepled fingers across his pursed lips. He then copies the known portions of the prophecy into a journal, and underlines certain words.
Though his face is wildly expressive while solidifying thoughts in writing, he speaks with the even tones of a calm pragmatist.

"It seems a fair assumption about the Ten being a reference to the Decemvirate. All that is needed to crack a code is such a key. I have some initial thoughts, but I would prefer to mull things over a bit first."

know(history)+1d6 inspiration at no cost: 1d20 + 1d6 + 24 ⇒ (8) + (4) + 24 = 36
(regarding what the Eye could be... first thinking of Sarkoris history)

know(planes)+1d6 inspiration at no cost: 1d20 + 1d6 + 24 ⇒ (3) + (1) + 24 = 28
(assuming a tie to the "outsider influences" if the worldwound is involved)

relevant inspiration quote:
The investigator can use inspiration
on any Knowledge, Linguistics, or Spellcraft skill checks
without spending a use of inspiration, provided he’s
trained in that skill.

Dunno if you still have someone making one, but I've been working on this Investigator...
