The darkness was foreboding but not as oppressive as Serpe made it out to be. At least not to Cyrus. "Hey speak for yourself! I wanted to keep a guard out here with Tamson but apparently that's too cowardly..." As the priest walked by, Cyrus would clasp him on the shoulder in a friendly manner, trying to reassure him that his words hadn't fallen totally on deaf ears.

Following after the group, eyes more focused on things trying to sneak up behind them, Cyrus paid little attention to the hole in the floor.

"Search as you like--I'll make sure nothing sneaks up on us," he said as the tomb air cooled him from the misty humidity.

i think this is accurate for who has what.

I have a magic dagger??? Huh. Also no Thorn my beloved! How lost is "lost"?😵

Interesting. I read thru that and it kind of sounds like what we want already but it doesn't say (i don't think) that a business must make something useable indefinitely, just that they have to tell you up front whether it is or not. Which hasn't been happening in the least because no one would buy the game that's designed to be shut off in two years or whatever (that marvel game was shut off in what, 3 months?)

This makes sense. Maybe just sell that rusty junk now?

Found this.

Created random PCs and I think you might be able to make your own PC with it. On my phone so haven’t really played with it.

Interesting. Also on my phone so no go on playing with a form.

@Malkavian Grin I was just realizing that there is no equivalent to the Insight skill in SWSE. Before deciding on Persuasion vs Deception against Kessra, I thought I'd make a check to see what kind of read Nina has on the woman. Is she being honest about being a contractor for Durga? Is she scared of him, happy with her arrangement with him...? But Deception checks to mislead go against the target's Will Defense (not Perception), and Perception can only be used to see through Deceptive Appearances. It can't be used to glean further details from people with whom you are negotiating.

I'm OK with that. It's the rules after all. But if you want to provide some sort of skill or ability check that can do what the Insight skill does in D&D, I'd be curious to know my options. Keep in mind, I did not delve into the rules before making this request. If there are feats or talents that allow a PC to do what I'm requesting, then it would not be appropriate to make a house rule that allows me to do it without the required feat/talent.

I also do not know of all the Talent Tree options in the game. There's far too many to remember, and there very well may be something that does this.

For now, I think I'll just tell you that it feels like she's being honest. We'll forgo a roll since it's not a critical detail. She's nonchalant about the whole thing, meaning she's likely giving you the whole story. She doesn't act like she's afraid of his presence--it's more just acknowledgment that you know he's here. Very matter-of-fact.

I hope that helps!

Heck, maybe these Derro know about the ankheg? I guess we can try that sort of route.

@DoNotFearToTread Does it stink of a dead body in here, per above discussion? I think that'll impact how/if we bring up the corpse in conversation.

I like the plan but Doørfin is stubborn (read: I can't help but try to stack odds in our favor concerning the sand tunnel). Do your thing and hope to miss the Dwarf 😁

I'll have to go back and look for a list of stuff we have to divvy.

That oppressive feeling Serpe gets has to do with his connection to his god, so none of the rest of you can feel it. More on that a little later.

It sounds like you guys are going in, since only Serpe has expressed any reluctance. If that’s not the plan, please let me know.

Cyrus isn't particularly pious, dealing usually in lip service. He's more concerned about earthly creatures eating flesh and leaving these bones lol.

I think we keep Tamson outside as a scout as well as making sure our mule doesn't bugger off. I like the idea of Cyrus also staying outside to scout, but know I'll miss any action in the barrow because of it. Decisions, decisions...

Around the corner the scout saw something she'd hoped not see. Taking a step back into the room with the others, Valthjofr's words slapped Yngvildr.

"I...You can't...fine," was all she could muster in frustration. Her cheeks flared red in the torchlight. The young woman could feel the heat in her face. "I was...I'm not..." she stammered. "I was their slave, nothing more. But if the gods will it, I will heed your words..."

After getting a grip she added, "I think the dead lead us. I saw two more Reapers just now. They disappeared from sight as quickly as I saw them."

I updated the map with positions of each party member. I have no problem with having you meet up by coincidence. I've seen Star Wars.

Lol! I like to think the rule of getting players back until the mix overtakes the rules of making sense. It's not fun sitting on the sidelines and waiting.

To answer you, yes, i believe we are taking Magnus' body back outside before venturing deeper. I'll check the maps when not on this terrible mobile device.

Make sure to add +2 on your strength check due to the debris on the bridge. Then make the dc 5 reflex save.

I was planning to just guard the entrance so Malice would have to fight on uneven ground (hopefully an AC penalty) and i posted as such at the end of my last post. I figure it's more tactical to do that than try to stand off to the side and burn her and potentially let her have full movement/AC

Cailano is great at his job 💜 i must learn the art of "say less" because oh boy... Some of my posts are huge.

"Uh, yeah, what he said," Cyrus added with a thumb toward Tharnakalian. "It's like a picture you'd see on a wall."

The scattered bones and general atmosphere put the archer on edge. He kept tugging at the collar of his armor whilst looking around the perimeter.

"Heard there's a bunch of money to be made in spider silk from the Blackened Forest to the west. Dangerous though. And probably out of our skill range right now," Cyrus said in idle chatter.

Nodding along to the information, Cyrus wracked his brain trying to figure out if he'd heard of the Blackened Forest or how spider silk might fare as a worn item.

"Three hundred coins? That seems fair. I'm no bowyer--I just use the things. Just won't have that for a bit. But I'm sure whatever you put a month's effort into will be excellent. But I'm curious about this spider silk... Does it have a special quality about it? I fancy myself a cloak eh... conn...conney... Uh I like cloaks."

At first Cyrus was impressed by the craftsmanship on display. His eyes looked over the bows and buckets of arrows before turning to meet Valeron's eyes. The Elf was mysterious and held an otherworldly edge to his handsomeness. Cyrus didn't realize he was staring. What was it with Elves?

Shaking himself out of his reverie, Cyrus moved closer and looked the cloaks. He cleared his throat. "So, uh, Valeron is it? These bows are well made. And these cloaks--did you make them? They are... I don't have a word for them... What material is this?"

"Fine, but you will defend him when the time comes," Yngvildr said coldly about the prisoner. "But check his wrist, something silver he covets," she added with a point of her sword.

Then the scrapping sound came and took her attention. Quickly she spun on her heels and moved north to listen around the corner.

I like this plan. Sure, Val isn't really looking to try very hard but she'll at least try a little.

I'm not entirely sure what we're going to say here, though. Are we trying to make it seem like we're aware of the treaty and here on its behalf (in order to leverage the point)? Are we just going to be like "what are you doing here"?

I have a feeling this will devolve into combat quickly, so if our stealth people can get into a flanking position, that'd be most beneficial I think. But I'm happy to defer to your tactics on that area.
