I'm in Warwickshire. I do have a little sympathy for the exam boards. They had a good plan last year but then the politicians lost their nerve. This year, it feels like they have decided to protect themselves by offloading all responsibility onto teachers and calling it 'flexibility'. All they want is assessed work that they can look at to verify teachers' grades (like they do with coursework). Apart from that, they're keeping well clear. The problem is that they suggested that they would give us more guidance and support, including assessment options, and then left us, last minute, saying 'What? Is that it? We have to do it all off our own backs?' If we had known that much earlier then we could have been much better organised.

Sorry for going AWOL lately. Work/Life got crazy for a little while.
I should get back on track with all of my games over the next few days.

Jon, you can't two-hand a rapier (or, at least, there's no mechanical effect). However, you do have a bunch of daggers on your sheet. Daggers do slashing (and piercing) damage. 1d4+x is much better than 1d6+x-5

I feel as useless as a level 1 wizard in 3e! I wish I had more cantrips available: having disrupt undead would be fun right now. Mainly, Voronwe is a poor scholar. Next time he gets some cash, he'll definitely invest in a few alchemist's fire and holy water vials.

I forgot to say this before, despite crushing the knowledge check. "More of these zombies: use slashing weapons to tear at their flesh." Voronwe moves forward, getting in a position to help if he can find a way to be useful.

Sorry for not posting much lately. I am waiting for a new laptop and I broke a finger on Monday, so posting on the phone is difficult as well. I will get back to proper frequency once the new laptop arrives.

I'm always wary of guessing what knowledge check, in case it's something like a construct or an outsider that looks undead. Voronwe moves into the room behind his allies, "Undead, my spells won't work against them."

One of these must be relevant. dropping knowledge: knowledge (arcana): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19 knowledge (dungeoneering): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 knowledge (engineering): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15 knowledge (geography): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 knowledge (history): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19 knowledge (local): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 knowledge (nature): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 knowledge (nobility): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28 knowledge (planes): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29 knowledge (religion): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

As Jon makes the boat safe, Voronwe produces a notebook and jots down a few observations about the island, the trip and the birds, "Beautiful creatures, aren't they?" Looking down into the darkness, he ponders for a moment then produces a beach pebble from his pocket, "I did swipe a few, lovely things..." The elf takes a dried firefly from his pouch and scrunches it between his fingers into a fine powder that falls over the stone. As he does so, he mutters a few arcane syllables, words which, to those not versed in the arcane arts, seem to slip in and out of meaning and memory.
He holds out the stone, "I could drop it down? Or someone could carry it?"

Voronwe did not get in on the big splurge from Lavinia so I don't have any coin to throw in. Sorry. Voronwe slaps Bhru on the shoulder, "Well played, Master Angraddson." As the boat is made ready, he watches everything that Spinnaker Jon does with interest, "I have no talent for seacraft but I do enjoy getting out on a boat. Is there anything I can do to help?"

Voronwe ponders Jon's words, "Hmm, perhaps Lavinia can make a connection. Her family might own some coastal property? Or there might be a place he has mentioned?" "Perhaps tomorrow we can speak with Lavinia, then try to gather information in the rest of the city's districts?"

diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11 "Oh, erm, hello. This is a nice place, isn't it. Charming. Yes." Voronwe stops himself, "Sorry, babbling. We were hoping you might be able to help us track down Vanthus Vanderboren. Apparently, he was in your shop a little while ago." |
