Male Revenant (Half-Elf) Rogue

Hearing the avenger's warning, Carver proceeds to do the same - finding someplace to obscure his form in order to follow their own followers.

Stealth: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31


Male Revenant (Half-Elf) Rogue

Carver tries to recall something (anything!) about Selune.

Religion: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1


Male Revenant (Half-Elf) Rogue

Carver , not having any preference, follows the others to the temple of Ohgma.


Male Revenant (Half-Elf) Rogue

Elias keeps his face averted as the City Guard approaches them, preferring to remain unnoticed as much as possible - more of an old habit rather than any real reason to avoid the authorities here.

As Lady Jasmine escorted them into the city, he takes a closer look at the guard's uniform, and the state of the city around them.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7


Male Revenant (Half-Elf) Rogue

Free: Reload
Standard: Sly Flourish
Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16Damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Carver quickly reloads his crossbow and fires yet again at the creature. "What IS that thing, anyone know?" He calls out to the others.


Male Revenant (Half-Elf) Rogue

[Carver - no action monster knowledge check]

Arcana: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5
Nature: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21

The revenant tries to recall if he can remember anything about this monster before them.


Male Revenant (Half-Elf) Rogue

when i play at tabletop, the DM lets us know which skills are needed in order to make the monster knowledge check.

over pbp, what i see done sometimes is just to make a d20 roll and indicate what are the mods for all the relevant skills: religion, nature, arcana, dungeoneering. the DM (who knows what type of skill is applicable), then relates the info based on whether the DC is met.

the first approach tends to be faster, the second approach more 'realistic' since the PCs may or may not know what type of creature (fey, aberration, undead etc) they are up against.

which do you prefer to do?


Male Revenant (Half-Elf) Rogue

Do we guess which skill to use? or do you tell us?

Also, are we still using the map on roll20?


Male Revenant (Half-Elf) Rogue

so... can we make a monster knowledge check?


Male Revenant (Half-Elf) Rogue

I'm not sure where i am on the map either - none of the tokens are selectable.

Move: Stand up
Minor: Draw hand crossbow
Standard: Sly Flourish
Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21Damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Carver springs to his feet as quickly as he can, his hand crossbow coming up to aim at the monster as he releases its quarrel.


Male Revenant (Half-Elf) Rogue

Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9


Male Revenant (Half-Elf) Rogue

Welp, still failed DC25... I'd have needed to roll a 16...

There is a rumble in the distance and the ground vibrates underneath all of you. Need a Athletics check

Did you mean Acrobatics? Or Athletics?

Athletics
1d20 ⇒ 7

Acrobatics
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18


Male Revenant (Half-Elf) Rogue

what are you using?


Male Revenant (Half-Elf) Rogue

Should be under 'My Campaigns'

Be sure to click on the link the DM provided


Male Revenant (Half-Elf) Rogue

Nice map


Male Revenant (Half-Elf) Rogue

Carver nods in acknowledgment. He actually didn't really know whether to really believe it himself. Instead of being distracted, he kept his eyes on the road.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

But only notices the pretty rocks along the way.


Male Revenant (Half-Elf) Rogue

"Since i'm in the company of such a learned group of... clergy, perhaps I should ask if any of you - including the not-so-religious - has ever heard of a huge, blue worm that can speak into people's minds? " Carver interrupts at an opportune moment. "I overheard someone speaking about it back at the tavern. Looked like an underground worm, and apparently took someone's arm."


Male Revenant (Half-Elf) Rogue

So, we have a paladin, avenger AND cleric of Oghma in this party? Wow. You guys better ace all those knowledge checks.

j/k

Did you all take the same Oghma's Faithful theme?


Male Revenant (Half-Elf) Rogue

"I try not to mistake you for a dwarf, good Tavar," says Carver dryly. "A task that is becoming increasingly challenging." He finishes, as he wipes the choked ale off his hands.

Looking at the newcomer, he extends his now-dry hand in greeting. "Carver. Elias Carver." He introduces himself. "Nice to meet another one of you Oghmanytes." He assumed that was the reason Tavar had called this one 'brother', since the physical resemblance seemed rather... different.


Male Revenant (Half-Elf) Rogue

"Sounds good..." begins Carver, "But you may want to cut down on your drinking this early in the morning." He finishes, pointing at the mug that the paladin is holding.


Male Revenant (Half-Elf) Rogue

Its a skill that uses your Charisma mod. according to the Mythweaver's sheet you linked in the recruitment thread, your mod for Jade is 0.


Male Revenant (Half-Elf) Rogue

Streetwise
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9


Male Revenant (Half-Elf) Rogue

"Perhaps," says Carver, but he's not very hopeful. He did better with ships than with horses - for some reason the creatures tended not to like him very much.

"In either case, let's leave town as soon as we can." He suggests. "Our mission awaits."

Not to mention, this is still too close to Luskan.


Male Revenant (Half-Elf) Rogue

It was supposed to be fun, but then i caught a cold or something... feeling like crap now.


Male Revenant (Half-Elf) Rogue

"I guess we'll wait for you here," nods Carver as the ranger heads outside. He didn't really enjoy the sunlight too much - it didn't hurt, but it wasn't pleasant either.

ooc:
Maybe we should see if there's a bounty on pirates.


Male Revenant (Half-Elf) Rogue

Would it be cheaper to book passage via ship for all of us, than to get horses?


Male Revenant (Half-Elf) Rogue

Carver tilts his head to one side, considering, So... we get paid 150 gold each to attend to Lady Jasmine's problem - any idea what kind of trouble she's having?

ooc:
The first post actually said 120gp, but the later post said 150gp - is it 150?


Male Revenant (Half-Elf) Rogue

I may have missed this, but where are we in terms of city/town? How long will the journey to Neverwinter take?


Male Revenant (Half-Elf) Rogue

Nudging the paladin with his elbow, Carver makes his way to the dragonborn, hoping that Tavar will take the hint and follow. "I don't know about the 'hero' part, but what services do you require? " he asks politely.


Male Revenant (Half-Elf) Rogue

I think he meant you :)


Male Revenant (Half-Elf) Rogue

cool. here's hoping the paladin doesn't think too badly of the undead thief :)


Male Revenant (Half-Elf) Rogue

Walking in behind Tavar, Carver was content to let the paladin take the lead while he tried to blend into the background. He never did like too much attention to himself. His nose twitched at the many smells in the taproom - some pleasant, while others less so.

Seating himself next to the paladin, Carver softly requested, "Pale ale. Please." From whichever server was closest.

He took his time to take in the atmosphere in the room, his eyes scanning the crowd to discern people or incidents that seemed... interesting, though by habit, he would also size people up based on their wealthy appearances.

Noting the dragonborn talking to the shifter in what he guessed was a business transaction, his interest was piqued.


Male Revenant (Half-Elf) Rogue

Carver is from Luskan, so I doubt he would know anyone unless they came from there. He would likely have met Tavar at the docks, if that's ok.


This is my alias for Carver.

The crunch is in the iplay4e link. Will be adding background soon in the alias itself.
