first one "we didn't find anyone"
second one makes a stab motion
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
could you describe the stab motion more please? Was it at me, or him, or just a general one?
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
just a general one, aimed at the space between you and them

Hey guys, just go back from vacation. It seems our party has left the village, followed some tracks, and ended up near a well. Aerian is up with the party while Philip is down talking to the 2 skeletons. Nothing really for me to post for now until the story develops further. Just letting u guys know that I have returned.
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
"so, you checked the tower from top to bottom, and didn't find anything? It was completely empty?"
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
first one "we took note and left, no checking tower"
second one "note, note" pointing at a little note which has some diagram on it but nothing else
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
"Really, can I see the note?"
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
it hands it to you, if you look closely it looks like a map of the tower but the area around the tower looks different, like if it was in some other town
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
"Is it ok if I can borrow this note for a while?"
If he says no, then I will use Sleight of hand to sub another piece of paper for it. Sleight of Hand 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
both skeletons go "no" but you manage to trade the paper fine
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
"Well it was nice talking to you, but I have to go now. Bye."
Philip then returns to the rest of the party.
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
ok you have the note, nothing new to it, what are you guys going to do now?

Maybe the map shows the buildings as they were before the cataclysm (or whatever we should call it)? Maybe we should go back to the town and compare the map to the ruins? I don't know.
(Although I have gotten the impression that the tower was constructed AFTER the destruction.)

"Let's return to the town and compare the map to the actual village, maybe some clues will popout."
Male Elf Monk 1
"Before we go back, why don't we just show the map to Wilhelm to see if he recognizes it?"
I am with you all on searching the ruins to see if we missed any clues. I feel if we go into the well now, we'll be stumbling into the unknown.
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
"Sure thing Aerian. Wilhelm, does this look familiar to you?"
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
"no, this looks like another town, my father used to say there was one not that far from here that that might be like that"
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
"Can you take us there, Wilhelm?"
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
"i'll try but i've never actually been there"
Male Elf Monk 1
"I say we check out Wilhelm's village, then the other one. Wilhelm is familiar with his town, might make things go faster."
M Human / Skeletal Champion Racial 2 + Cleric 2
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
at the town
Wilhelm "what do you whant to look for?"
M Human / Skeletal Champion Racial 2 + Cleric 2
How many ruined buildings are around? Are there any signs to indicate what those building might have been, or what they were used for, before they were ruined?
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
Also, any signs of activity around a specific building?
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
14 larger buildings dotted around and 23 houses, from the larger buildings one was a library, another was a forge and the last recognisable one was a brewery, everything else is too destroyed to find out what it was for. there are lots of signs of activity all over the place but it all looks random and frantic, nothing specific or recent
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
"We should start with the library first."
Male Elf Monk 1
M Human / Skeletal Champion Racial 2 + Cleric 2
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
the library is a burnt down place, half of the books are destroyed but the other half have survived, there is a fair amount of blood stains all over the place
so what are you looking for?
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
Philip starts looking through the legible books for any references to the other towers mentioned by the skeletons.
Male Elf Monk 1
Aerian looks for flesh corpses as well as skeletal corpses.
M Human / Skeletal Champion Racial 2 + Cleric 2
While Philip and Aerian search, Filleox keeps a lookout for attackers.
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
at the library you find 3 references of towers, all at least a few days travel from here
there are 2 fleshy corpses and 1 skeletal one (flesh having being burnt off)
no attackers
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
"Well, the way I see it, we have a couple of options, one, check out one of these other villages and see if we can find the tower pointed out in the map. Or, two, return to the well, and see if those other skeletons have anything further to add. There may be more areas down there, I did not go very far."
Male Elf Monk 1
"I say we check out a few more towers. Wilhelm, do you recognize any of these bodies?"
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
he recognises one of the bodies as being the librarian
Male Elf Monk 1
Aerian searching the bodies for any clues.
"Can anyone in the party examine the wounds? Maybe we can derive some clues from the cause of death..."
OOC Nalalie is now officially a party member, but what does she do exactly? What class is she?
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
she's a lv1 cleric, with rather limited abilities
she looks at the bodies "I-I think they bled to death, from their wounds"
M Human / Skeletal Champion Racial 2 + Cleric 2
"Aerian, what else do you want to check out, exactly? Because I have to admit I'm drawing a blank here."
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
"Yeah, we need to go to this next village, and see if we can find the next tower in the map."
Male Elf Monk 1
"I know our investigation hasn't turn out much, but let's be thorough. Let's check out the forge & brewery. If there are nothing there by corpses, then let's head out to the next town."
I admit that I, too, am losing a bit of steam from the jumble of events and lack of insight. If there are nothing noteworthy at the forge & brewery, I propose that the DM speeds things up and take us to the next town.
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
"Yeah, I guess we can peek in there, just don't know what else we will find in here."
Not too worried about the lack of urgency in this game, it has a sandbox feel to it. Nice change of pace.
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
ok, i'll speed things up, at both places you find corpses, but nothing note worthy about them, in the forge you find 3 finely crafted swords hiden in a barrel and in the brewery there is a little diary but its in code, so it will take time to break it
moving on to the next village that Wilhelm takes you, unfortunatly there is no tower here, but you see a large number of skeletons there, around 20, they don't seem to be doing much, just wandering arround
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
Philip admires the swords, and decides to pocket one of them for his own use. Appraise on the swords 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
He looks at the diary, written in a code he had never heard of before. He shows it to Nalalie, and asks her, please work on deciphering this for us, since we don't know about stuff like that.
Once the group arrives at the next village, he looks around for any signs of a ruined tower. Perception 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6. If that fails, then he will ask one of the non-hostile, more intelligent skeletons, "Do you know of any towers in the area?"
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
theres a big assumption there that there are any non-hostile, more intelligent skeletons... make a spot check to see if you can find one
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
Perception 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
M Human / Skeletal Champion Racial 2 + Cleric 2
Filleox tries to spot one too.
Perception = 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
Filleox you manage to find 1 skeleton who looks sentient, its sitting on a door step reading a scroll
