Llyarden Posted November 14, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted November 14, 2023 Okay, info time! Sorry again for the delay. *hopes he hasn't forgotten any important plot points during the interim...* Velras The response you get from the critters of Altea is...limited, despite the offer of cheese (!). Eventually a couple of rats and a pigeon do make an appearance, but once they hear what you want them to do, they merely snatch the crumbs of food away in exchange for the rather limited answers of "Scary!", "They'd eat us!" and "Nope nope nope nope." (Clearly the pigeon has spoken to people before.) Zella The wall is very well maintained. It's actually probably better, at least in terms of protecting what's inside the wall, than it was when it was owned by the White Doves, when mostly it was just a means to make sure everyone came in the gate so people didn't get overwhelmed. Although as noted before it's only ten feet tall, so while sturdy it probably isn't much of a hindrance...unless there's more to it than she can see. The gate is indeed locked from the inside. Without getting to a higher vantage point, you can't tell whether or not anyone's watching the wall from the inside. You don't see anyone watching from the cloister, though. Khefu Your clairvoyance sensors reveal...not a whole lot, actually. The sensor at the top of the cloister finds itself in a bedroom, with an unmade four-posted bed and a musty bearskin rug the main features, along with a few scattered papers. The middle of the main building is actually also basically where the front door is. It's the main gathering room, which once would've held a number of tables, chairs and the like to enable discussion; nowadays the furniture has long since been removed, leaving it empty, with a couple of tattered white banners the only sign of the Doves Assuming you put your clairvoyance sensor in the other main room in that ground floor, you find the infinite-food magic item still thoroughly emplaced and, presumably, functional - you can't see any signs of damage, at least. Nowhere, however, do you see any people... Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss Muro Posted November 14, 2023 Clone Share Posted November 14, 2023 Interesting. What's the dust situation in the rooms Khefu looked at? Was it the kind of thick coating of dust, one would expect after decades of neglect? Were there any areas noticeably less dusty than others, as if people had come through the area?

Llyarden Posted November 14, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted November 14, 2023 More like years of neglect rather than decades (even though the cloister has indeed been unused for a couple decades), but there wasn't any sign of the dust being disturbed.

Boss Muro Posted November 17, 2023 Clone Share Posted November 17, 2023 I think we're all on board with waiting until nightfall. I don't think it's been mentioned what time it is. Can we say it's late afternoon now, and that it'll be dark in 3-4 hours? Also, it might be simplest to just vote on how we make our entrance. top of the tower, front door, or other? I vote tower.

VennDygrem Posted November 17, 2023 Clone Share Posted November 17, 2023 Yeah, I agree. Going through the place top-down seems the best option. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llyarden Posted November 27, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted November 27, 2023 Sorry, I missed the question about the time. I was originally envisaging it being kinda mid-morning, but for convenience sure I'll say it's three hours to sunset, another hour after that before it gets properly dark.

Boss Muro Posted December 6, 2023 Clone Share Posted December 6, 2023 I think we're agreed that we're moving in after dark, and we're just waiting for a time skip? Velras mentioned that we're wasting a few of his spell points doing that, but it didn't seem like a huge problem.

VennDygrem Posted December 7, 2023 Clone Share Posted December 7, 2023 I believe that's true. I'll also need to know who needs darkvision in addition to my clearsight effect. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
