millie did make this same comment earlier at the house on stilts... about the phrase
Rose has been on-and-off pondering Luc's phrases. They're out of order in some way;
now we have it in correct order it seems
"The night of evil shall descend on the land, when this hexad of signs near at hand."
and dont forget that millie is there, even though I am posting like 1 per day she is still there, its almost like you guys are ignoring that fact.
Alright guys! you have made it to town!
I have put up a town map on Roll20 so you guys can see where you are and where you can Explore, investigate, or other stuff!
Now, there is a system for investigating, if that is what you are interested in doing. There are informational clues around town that may or may not be helpful to your goals.
@Millie, I hope now that we are in town Millie will be able to feel more involved and less ignored, especially now that everyone is aware you were beginning to feel that way.
not a huge thing on the interactions with the party - because thats the way it goes sometimes,
@GM
please explain the investigation system I have not heard of such a thing, short of Listen, Spot, Search, Gather Information ( perception )
Alright so
"Gossip" can be attained at different locations around the town. At each location a diplomacy check can be rolled to see if you are able to get that location [person] to "pour the tea". You get one chance a day to roll for gossip at each location. Others may assist with diplomacy to give better chances.
As you can gather from your interactions from Brucian, a non-human aiding or being the main diplomacy, will have a higher DC to gain the "gossip" but its not cumulative, while aid another with diplomacy is cumulative, if you have a 1 main roller and the other 5 attempt to aid, you can provide up to an additional +10 to the main roller.
For how this will play out, you as a group tell me where on the map you'd like to go, and roll diplomacy. I'll post results, any "gossip" gained, and you can respond with any follow up questions, and any other things you might like to do at the location before heading to the next.
Your current location is marked by the small red circle on the map.
Guess we should see who has the highest Diplomacy bonus, Grey has +9.
Just looking.... and yea, its Grey with +9, ms. Pendergrast, is right behind with a +8.
Just remembered Grey could cast Enhanced Diplomacy, so his bonus should be +11. If everyone is fine with it, I think he should take point in rolling Diplomacy with the others providing assistance.
Duration 1 minute, yea that should be enough, casting it before approaching, that'll work. Good thing its divine magic ✅
Do we get to know the DCs for the Diplomacy checks? For example, Cheyanne has an untrained +4. If the DC goes from 10 to 15 it's statistically less likely she will be an improvement on things if she tries to help.
If its DC 12 from DC 10, though, it's worth it to try. Do we get to know?
That's a fair question.
Base DC is 15 as your group are outsiders at this moment, it becomes a DC 20 with the non humans. But, if all 6 of you work together, it can effectively be a DC 10, due to the +10 from aid another.
Side note, the priest does not respond to your calls
(OOC: in a mix of languages none of which are common <elven,dwarven,sylvan,draconic,celestial>)
millies swear jar ( 1 )
but in a nutshell is offended that anyone should treat anyone differently just because they look less than a normal human
@Cheyanne
The DC to aid another is indeed 10
So, are people fine with me rolling Diplomacy? I mean, it's something that affects the whole party so I would like to know what everyone is thinking.
Since I have everyone's numbers, to prevent a slow down, ill roll all the aid another rolls in a single post here in the ooc, when I assume Grey, rolls diplomacy.
Looks like you just need to start exploring.
I'm good with it, Bunny Commando. I just needed to know that it was worth it for Cheyanne to try and Aid you. That has been confirmed, so I'm good.
Just saw that people were having trouble seeing the map, has this been fixed?
Nope, don't see much.
This is what I see.
I believe I have fixed the issue, try now, your tokens are off map for use later.
There are about 15 key locations in town, you won't know for sure what each place is until your standing in front of the building. With exception of the church and inn/tavern which you can guess at. 1 looks like it could be an inn or tavern.
Also, note that you are standing west of town, not north.
Dang, that compass rose is gonna annoy me to no end. Thanks, TSR. :smallbiggrin:

I am guessing this is 1 silver piece, 1 copper piece? - What time of day is it at this point ?
