Think so, Ive moved to another game all ready
At Jozaidirs words Rosa stops and looks at the group. "I'm NOT being immature! they are in DANGER!" She Blushes red with anger then looks down at the floor.
"I'm I being immature?, could I just be rushing off to add to every's troubles, but the children are in danger, the look of the warped gnome, of gods, if it happens to them, Baltazar is right I can not carry them back, what was I thinking, O gods I doing it again, I just don't know what to do. I know I must help but o what to do.." She looks back up at the others tears in her eyes. "What if what happened to the wood cutters happens to them, I could not..." She stops and looks away visibly upset.
She stops at the door at Sir Baltazar words. "Then we should make all hast to the Gnomes home, every moment we wait those children may be in danger, those are fay woods and this sounds more and more like a horrid fairy tail with no happy ever after." She moves to the door once more. "I will fly slow, but hight lets me see more, under the trees you must look. So if your going to come, come, and we shall seek them as best we can."
Rosa at last can talk her shock wearing off, she says with some urgency. "I do not need you Zaharin for what I am about to do, unless you can fly you will only slow me down. I will and I must find those children, it is a matter of faith with me and some thing simply I must do. I have to make clear to you all what I will be doing next here." She takes off her sleeves and her cloths turn back into a fine dress, then placing the magic sleeves back on again they her cloths transform into a blue flying harness the same shade as her hair. She straps her things to it and then takes out her wayfinder and campus, She looks at the Gnome. "Tell me quick witch way they went, if I am fast I may find them before any harm comes to them." Once she is shown she walks to the door, stepping outside she spreads her wings and with two beats is off into the air, heading the way she has been told, Slowly and carefully just above tree tops.
Just as Lady Rosa starts to tell Porter what little she knows of gnomes, Zaharin's comments hit the group shock her into silence, she looks on worriedly as Glyndon responds to them saying what she herself is thinking.
Yep Happy Holidays, everyone :) GM, could we have a call here: its not a big one and I happy to go with GM word of law on this. Im saying you do not need to roll AKA take 10, on a skill to know about Gnome Bleaching as its common knowledge about a core race. Glyndon says is not common knowledge and warrants a knowledge skill roll, if not a Gnome, as its common knowledge for gnomes but not by fault other race etc. (I hope I have that right Glyndon.) I think we both agree this depends on the World the GM has made etc. If your happy Glyndon with a simple GM call on this, I think we have laid out our augments well, I'm not going to add any more, and will happy abide with what ever the GM says. :)
this is my point of view and its just that my view: With respect, But I am not responsible for your emotions, you comments would have been right if related to a full outsider, but a native one is linked to the prime and lives there. Also as a Cleric and a healing on at that, Rosa has and dos deals with Gnomes ailments on a day to day bases, when not running around the woods for the Pathfinders. The sickness known as the bleaching is well known. Just limiting it to race, is I feel limiting, you have to take into account exposure to knowledge from Class and back story. I find looking at the full richness of a PC as to most games, would you not agree. I'm not trying to be a pain just pointing out its commonly known to healer. I can see that I seem to have hit a pet-piv of yours and yes knowledge that is genuinely hard to come by should be under the knowledge skills, but as I have said this is not hard to come by knowledge, most who live and work around Gnomes, healers who deal with them, and any one who's seen a bleached Gnome beggar and ask whats happened, they are core race not some thing odd larking in the lake you only see now and then. Gnomes are known for there chatter and getting the to NOT tell you their dread of the bleaching would hard to do, or the family members "whos, showing the signs" would be very hard to do. This is a thing that effects an entire core race, it would be like saying, "O you don't know Half Orcs have a bit of a grumpy side and Temper wile they do like to smash things". Yes in a game world where half Orcs are not often seen, but here in this one, We just came from a city, and my PCs and educated healer, " Today we will be studding Gomes, Class 101, there main, illness and healing needs, To start, rashes from riding dogs and the bleaching..." I do so hope you see my point here, its a take 10 on heal, local you name it. :)
Gnomes and Knowledge Skills: I think your over thinking this and as has been pointed out here.
Q: What is GNOME bleaching? A: Given
Its about Gnomes and not fay, yes some info about fay is in there but the bleaching is known, very very very well known, its a Historic fact of a complete PC race. The Fay part comes into play in Gnome history, Its a well known and often talked by a PC class. 'The Bleaching' is a Curse that affects very middle aged Gnome that does not adequately seek out new and interesting experiences runs the risk of experiencing the Bleaching. Each year that the gnome doesn’t act to mitigate their boredom, they may start to suffer from The Bleaching. Gnomes -> common Knowledge.
Now if the Q had been how are the FAY linked to GNOME bleaching you could say a "Monster Lore" roll was needed, and so you would be right, as Nature is the fay Monster Knowledge skill, but it was about Gnomes
see Monster Lore Below are listed typical fields of study. Arcana (ancient mysteries, magic traditions, arcane symbols, constructs, dragons, magical beasts)
Note/ Humans, elf, dwarf etc no core races are in there,
As its a well know fact to the point is DC10 or less and so taking 10 etc no roll is needed, but if one was then under the rules it says. Untrained You cannot make an untrained Knowledge check with a DC higher than 10. If you have access to an extensive library that covers a specific skill, this limit is removed. The time to make checks using a library, however, increases to 1d4 hours. Particularly complete libraries might even grant a bonus on Knowledge checks in the fields that they cover. As its a 10 take 10 etc, but I would say as its so well known a roll is not needed. Using skills for all facts as has has been said in overview-of-pathfinders-skills-knowledge-and-linguistics a Knowledge Tax. Knowledge Skill I'm happy to take that post back but I feel it would lessen the game. GM call I Think.
Merry Xmass and a Happy new year one and all
Lady Rosa looks at Porter and dos her best to explain. "Gnomes, are linked long ago to the 1st world and the life of a fay, in this world Gnomes need to be stimulated, like fay they need a life of color and metal richness, if they do not get that, they start to fade from the world, they bleach in color going gray and there hart sinks, until they just end. It can take years, but all Gnomes dread it, for it means the end to most, for this old Gnome to have Bleached and still be in the world, takes some thing akin to unlife, but not undead, its a state of mind I am told some get post Bleaching. I have never meet some Gnome who has, I wander what has kept him in the world"
Lady Rosa looks very worried. "That is most worrying, you say children, if this is a thing in the woods then they could be in great danger, We had best hurry and find them, could you tell us just how we could get to this wise Gnome and the way the children may have taken to his home in the woods"
Lady Rosa walks in , not a happy look on her face, the gnomes on the way back worried her. "what could have dine this to them, gods help us if this contiguous" Once they are close to the Inn she will say. "I think would should keep them away from any one in doors for now. this could be contiguous, of course we could have it but lets not take the risk with them."
Naples, nice, have fun man.
"yes says Rosa looking at the others, lets go back, this place feels like death."
Rosa gos with him back to have a look to the blood splatter.
The light from Rosa arrows glows weakly in the darkness as she strains to see what the others are doing, Shadows and moment her Porter walking slow good ready, there Glyndon? or was it a shadow, Now Baltazar looking around a wood pile. What could they be doing, she knows to stay back, they are used to this kind of thing and look like they know what they are about. She looks at the trees and shudders. "what hellish magic has happened her, what corruption of nature, do not like this one bit." She looks at the implacable elf by her, his face as hard as the ice under foot, eyes every where and always seeking whats in the dark. She feels safer knowing he is close. But still a feeling of Dread in this land of cold.
Lady Rosa stays with the stern Zaharin.
"There is magic but its, odd, some thing I have just never come across before" she says before the others head off
"I do not think they are possessed its more like an infection, some thing has changed them, not taken them over, I would know if it had. But I have never seen the like, they do not seem to be magic, so that rules out a spell as such. They seem to have been transformed its more necromantic any they thing but they are not undead, I am at a loss. Its as if they have been tainted by a deeper older power, it could be Chaotic? " She looks once more that the gnome.
"Yes Poter you are right, I feel bad that we did indeed kill one and I have not the skill or powers to being him back to the land of life, fit and well. Nor can I see how they became as they are now. There is some strong magics are work here I feel. Would that we could find one unharmed to tell us the tail"
"Well I have no idea what has happened to this poor gnome"
Rosa will go over and look at one that tide up, what happened to the poor thing and can it be undone.
Once Rosa has healed who needs to be, she will cast light on 3 Arrows and shoot them into the camp lighting there way in.
"If you have been harmed please come with me I will heal you" Rosa walks away so as not to heal the evil Gnomes
Droping her bow she takes up her Short Spear
Rosa whats to fly up, but with the trees she can see no clear way. So she moves back and using her bow shoots at a Blood Gnome
as Rosa is walking in the dark and some one may fall and hurt themselves she will of course light up, unless told other wise. and hand every one a small stone she casts light on every 10 mins. Halo: Some aasimars possess the ability to manifest halos. An aasimar with this racial trait can create light centered on her head at will as a spell-like ability. When using her halo, she gains a +2 circumstance bonus on Intimidate checks against evil creatures and on saving throws against becoming blinded or dazzled. This racial trait replaces the darkvision standard racial trait.
Rosa dos a little dance to the door, Feeling good about healing da darr
Rosa will fix the Gnomes leg, then pack her medical things away. "Well that should be it, stay off it for a few days, but should be better" she walks over to the others and follows them out when they go
Rosa will look at her leg, taking out her healing kit,
Rosa looks up, "err yes, yes we should"
"Yes I agree that constitutes a disease of some kind, but lets but mistake A disease, often construed to be a medical condition associated with specific symptoms and signs. In this case Gnomes going or acting wild. Caused by internal dysfunctions, such as beaching diseases, with A disease caused by external factors, such as infectious disease, a Glammer , Cursed or even a plan charms that my affect most prime native beings. How ever a "disease" means broadly in refer to any condition that causes pain, dysfunction, distress, social problems, or death to the person or persons afflicted, or similar problems for those in contact with the person. In this broader sense, it sometimes includes injuries, disabilities, disorders, syndromes, infections, isolated symptoms, deviant behaviors, and atypical variations of structure and function, while in other contexts and for other purposes these may be considered distinguishable categories. Diseases usually affect people not only physically, but also emotionally, as contracting and living with many diseases can alter one's perspective on life, and their personality. In this case they seem to have forgotten civilization and become wiled, or reverted back to a pre-civilized form, add to that the fact we have been told this is a Fay area, it leads me to think may be some of the 1st world is leaking out here, to some other magic art is in play, of course this dos not rule a mundane course at play such as simple addiction to a new recreational drug, tainted foods or even poisoning pay a 3ed party and ...." She says all this wile making notes, as the other fall silent wile she talks, she stops and looks up, blushes furiously then looking down again, silent once more, scribbling faster then ever in her small note book. "I did it again!, making a fool of myself, now they are all looking at me, when will a learn to keep my mouth shoot, stupid stupid.."
Rosa nods at Zaharin comment, "that seems like a very plausible explanation for what may have happened" She thinks to herself.
Rosa takes out her not pad and silver point pencil, to note down what the Gnome says.
