Well, that would suggest INTELLIGENCE. I guess you're implying that we see no clues to suggest the "non-hostile" part. Then again, I assume none of these skeletons are attacking each other.
"I think I'll go up and say hello to that one. Philip and Aerian, will you come with me? Or do you think you should stay behind and protect Nalaliel and Wilhelm?"
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
Sure thing, Filleox. We haven't seen any sign they are hostile. Just to on the safe side, Nalaliel and Wilhelm, you two, should stay here though."

Filleox approaches the reader and says "Good day to you. My name is Filleox. These are my friends, Philip and Aerian."
Filleox pauses to give the reader a chance to react. Assuming the party doesn't get attacked at this point, and unless the reader says something of substance upon which to start a conversation, Filleox goes on.
"We are strangers here, and we were wondering if you knew of any tower - or the remains of a tower - nearby."
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
"My good ma- yes... yes I do know of a tower... why do you ask?"
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
"We are trying to track down where the owner of the tower vanished to."
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
"that might be hard, you see there are many towers around the... area... what tower are you talking about specifically?"
Male Elf Monk 1
"The one owned by Master Themon? You heard of him?"
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
"why yes, he was a good man... then not so good, and finally not so... man, has he been causing trouble again?"
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
"Ummm, yeah, he has been causing trouble again for us. What has he been doing here?"
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
"hasn't been here for a long time... though he did some terrible things in the past"
M Human / Skeletal Champion Racial 2 + Cleric 2
"Like what, for instance?"
Male Elf Monk 1
"Anything to do with demons & devils?"
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
"oh I don't know about him and outsiders, but he did use to go around truning people into frogs or turning them to stone"
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
"Turning people to stone? Wow, I would like to see that, could you take us to where he did that?"
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
he points at two statues in a house that where out of view "you can check them out if you whant"
M Human / Skeletal Champion Racial 2 + Cleric 2
"Do you have any idea WHY he turned people into frogs or into stone?"
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
"not really, though he is... a little easy to annoy"
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
"Really, would you know if he likes talking to visitors, or does he like his privacy?"
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
"I doubt that he is a talker"
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
"Can you tell us where we can find him?"
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
"not really, I've had no news of him for a long time, he left long ago and never came back as far as I know"
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
After he gets a reply, Philip turns to his companions, and says, "Well, what do we do now? The only clue is where he pointed out the statues, I guess we should check that out."
Male Elf Monk 1
"Sure, might as well."
OOC: Can't help but feel that we're straying from our original mission, which is find this prophet...
M Human / Skeletal Champion Racial 2 + Cleric 2
"Yeah, let's see the statues."
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
the statues are of a dwarf and an elf, both in what looks like a heated discussion between the two, the dwarf holding a stone mug, the elf waving a stone rag.
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
Philip will examine the statues for any clues or other info he can discover. Perception 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Male Elf Monk 1
Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
not much, just a few odd emblems that where not from around here and a bit of a note on one of the trousers saying something about a tower by the sea
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
Philip gathers the note and compares it to the other note he got before, trying to see if the towers are the same or not.
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
they look suprisingly similar
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
Do the notes show where the towers are located?
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
vaguely, its a costal town, known as Rum Port but not much more is said about it
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
Do the tower notes say where Rum Port is located, or how far away it is from here?
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
no, though there are other ways to knowing hint, hint
M Human / Skeletal Champion Racial 2 + Cleric 2
Assuming that Nalaliel and Wilhelm are still with us, I ask them if they've heard of Rum Port. If not, and if Philip and Aerian can think of nothing else to do here, then let's go back to the reader and ask HIM where Rum Port is.
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
Nalaliel says she's heard of it in her visions but can't remember to what it was connected, now the reader gives you good instructions on how to get there and a little of the history, which was basically a small trading port known for its Rum (obviously) but also for its fishing
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
"Well, I guess Rum Port is our next destination. Shall we leave now, or is there anything we missed here?"
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
so your now going to rum port? or do you want to gather more information here?
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
"We can look around here for a while, but I doubt we'll find anything else."
Male Elf Monk 1
I am sorry, but I am losing focus on this game.
The world ended, we became undead, and then we set out on a quest to find a prophet. Nalaleil was suppose to show us the way, but we were interrupted by finding Wilhelm. At that point, the quest transformed into exploring a tower and now we're finding towers, without knowing what these towers really do/fit into the story.
What is going on?
M Human / Skeletal Champion Racial 2 + Cleric 2
You know, Aerian, you're right. We don't know that the towers have anything to do with the prophet. I guess I was thinking that we don't have any other real leads... but that could be wrong. We could be asking Nalaliel what she saw in her visions, and ask the reader if he knows anything about THOSE. What do you think?
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
The way I understood it is we are trying to find Themon because he may know where the prophet is, also he may have been involved with the catastrophe to begin with. If this guy is a red herring, then we can just go to where Nalaliel says the prophet is located.
Male Elf Monk 1
Can ulgulanoth give use some clarifications/verifications on what Filleox's and Philip's view of what's going on?
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
ok, i don't particularly whant to spoil the plot here, but there is a connection between Themon and the prophet, and the towers, yea it is a little of a vague connection but it is leading you guys in the right direction plot wise
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
That is what I thought, this Themon is related to the Cataclysm somehow, not to borrow from the Dragonlance world too much, and I think he would know what is going on.
M Human / Skeletal Champion Racial 2 + Cleric 2
Okay, let's just go back to the reader and ask him if he had ever heard of someone named Gerov, and if not, then if the reader ever saw someone wearing red robes or carrying a golden staff with a gem on top. Most likely, the reader will say no, but we should try that to minimize the "metagaming" problem. Then we can say "Well, we have no other leads," and go look for this Rum Port.

Male Elf Monk 1
I second the agreement. Let's go.
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
the reader hasn't heard of Gerov, but he says there was someone matching the description that was seen heading to the coast, exactly where he didn't know
