I'm waiting for a reply to my question about how real this is before we move to the market.

I'm (or Kraawkaw) is also waiting for a reply to his probing question to Haibram as to why someone from Bisola's family can't make the trip, particularly were we to escort them. Oh, and any feedback on the Recall Knowledge (Magaambya) check. To Kraawkaw, it seems a bit suspicious that this task would be worth a potential escalation between the Magaambya and the Town.

Kraawkaw won't dispute Annah's perspective, but he'll probably include a gentle observation that being students isn't the same as being subjects - and that we need to keep our wits about us even with assigned tasks.

But, I would like to hear Haibram's reply - and the Recall Knowledge check result - before my next post and our trek to the Market.

Btw, I'm willing to have @hoverfrog make the Diplomacy check on Kraawkaw's behalf: not only to keep that a 'Secret' roll; but the Dice Roller hates me in any case!)

I'll be on holiday from tomorrow until next saturday. I'll normally have internet access (the hotel should have Wifi), but I might be slower to respond

Have a good trip Farothel!

[hoverfrog]

Sorry for my sudden absence. I'm back now and will catch up over the next few days.

[daltar]

Good to hear hoverfrog! Looking forward to continuing!

To move things along, I'll have Kraawkaw try Diplomacy -- we can always adjust the gp paid out based on success level change from Aid retroactively. IC, I think it would be odd not to hassle/bargain to some extent and I'll buy some other fowl as well so that she doesn't remember us as those folks who only bought the Ojofiri birds.

Hope this is fine with folks.

Follow-up: Looks like the Diplomacy Check was a Success. As noted in the IC post, Kraawkaw wants to purchase other chickens in addition to six (?) of the Ojofiri just so we're not remembered as being particularly interested in them.

I would take all 8, even if we have to pay for some of them ourselves. Olis is okay with adding the extra cost. If we come with 8 instead of the minimum of 4, we show we're good at what we do and there's a reserve, just in case some die (and as they are slow egg layers, having a few more is always good). If you want to buy a few extra from other races, be my guest.

 

EDIT: okay, that roll didn't go as planned. Luckily even with my crit fail on the aid, you should still have enough to keep your success. I think we should leave the roll as is and just buy the 3gp per chick.

If the others agree, that's fine (buying all of them). For whatever reason, I'm somewhat concerned about our interest in Ojofiri being too obvious. And, because we bargained, there might only be seven left ... but whatever.

 

PS guess I should have read the IC board first!

Annah has +7 for both Nature and Medicine (I think that's tops). Kraawkaw has +6 on Medicine and, conceivably, could cast Heal to succor the chicks, though perhaps that might not be 'effective.'

 

Since the Medicine check DC < the Aid DC, I think it is best if we try independently. I'll go ahead and roll Medicine: if that doesn't succeed, others can try and/or K might try casting Heal.

There we go, Annah can be useful!

[farothel]

I was indeed also about to suggest we put them in different cages and thinking of getting some (at a different vendor in my case).

I assume we will need to anyway, as nobody can handle a cage with 12 chickens in it. It's too large and too cumbersome to move by yourself.

Good roll Annah!

Just to emphasize, my wanting to buy a number of other chickens specifically from Makena was to have her memory only be that 'some folks bought a number of chickens' - so that we'd blend in with a host of other customers: not that some particularly strange folk seemed unduly interested in Ojofiri specifically. Maybe undue paranoia, but that's how I was RPing Kraawkaw' interactions: if only to avoid being called out: "hey, you must be from the Magaambya! They've tried to buy up the Ojofiri before!"

Krawawkaw can carry a cage of the other chicks or adult birds along with Olis -- letting Annah care for the Ojofiri chicks. I suppose Marica is about too? I know we wanted to stay somewhat apart just to avoid looking like Magaambya students.

If we can't keep the other birds in the dormitory (or cook therein), I suppose we can gift them to the Mistress of the Kitchens (Lumusi) ... maybe arrange to have our own cadre supply of eggs?

Of course, we still have to get back in one piece!

Apologies for my absence, I've been rather ill for about the last week and am finally in a position to start posting again.

Glad to hear that you're feeling better.

@allefgib is still MIA but @saithor is around. I am AFK tomorrow so I'll give some time for them to add something before moving on.
