Age of Ruin OOC: Tempting Fate

[Ozzy_G]

Here is the new OOC thread.

And here: http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=101827 is the new IC thread.
The man described at the end is the servant Kohan, who said he'd meet you with his master.
The man who is not very visible with him is Verlyn, I just thought I'd let Lycar describe his own character rather than do it myself and deny him the opportunity.

[Lycar]

I'll wait with a full description until everybody is present.

So what spot DC to spot a certain someone lurking in the shadows, scoping out the setup?

Lycar

[NobleSavage]

I'm thinking this type of headwrap/turban, btw.

Reyhan is in his Darkstalker form, covered by an illusion of his usual self.

Gather Info (1d20+12)[30]
Diplomacy (1d20+11)[29]
Bluff (1d20+14)[33]
Know Local (1d20+11)[28]
Sense Motive (1d20+11)[14]
as appropriate

[Lycar]

She raised an eyebrow in Verlyn's direction; so... he knew.

Uhm... I just took the liberty to assume that Verlyn would recognize Runa.

After all, Kohan told him about hiring her and mentioned no other females, so ... it is a good conversation starter anyway.

Lycar

[knewsom]

oh no, that "he knew" was more about Verlyn knowing she was asked to come.

...she wasn't, after all, in Bemin when the invite came.

[Lycar]

Hm. Betruger, eh? I had to chuckle when I first heard that name in Doom III. After all, I do know what a Betrüger is...

Too bad that Verlyn doesn't, eh?

Lycar

[NobleSavage]

Haha, so maybe an anti-Sumner?

And this is the turban pic I was talking about, realized I never posted it.

[Toliudar]

Apologies for the delay in posting. I should be back into a daily rhythm by Tuesday.

[Lycar]

Okay so the idea with the 'going around to introduce ourselves' and have his aide/servant/lackey start is that he gets to go last obviously.

So if Dion wants to be adressed as 'Sister Dion', that's the time to mention it.

Lycar

[Toliudar]

Dion would in fact make gagging sounds if introduced as Sister Dion.

To clarify: have we been introduced? Maybe I missed something. I'll go back and reread.

[knewsom]

aaaah crap. I coulda SWORN she said her name or that Verlyn did. Should I edit that to say "Miss" instead?

...that's what I get for trying to play DnD with the stomach flu and a fever. *sigh* Sorry guys, I'm mostly better today, will have fewer of those slipups.

[Toliudar]

I'm actually fine with her having said the names - it certainly adds to Runa's aura of mystery. Happy to assume that she did some surreptitious spying/detect thought-ing/whatever.

And, of course, hope you're feeling better soon!

[Lycar]

Hehe. Also it is harder to keep apart what our people know and don't know about each other. After all, we all pretty much helped out one another with making charcaters this time.

For all your guys and gals know, Verlyn is probably just some spellcaster type. Who of course needs someone to save his bacon if something gets too close to him.

Only Skenardo is being secretive this time. I wonder ...

But I was hoping that Dion would mention something along the lines of her being the one having the Cure spells.

Also, I had to make some additions to my CS. I totally forgot to account for Synergy effects. Seems like Verlyn is actually a wee bit better at some things then I thought.

Oh and Knewsom: Get well soon!

Lycar

[NobleSavage]

Mmm, and I added one of them there fancy weapon crystal of returning, lesser to my sheet. 300gp? A steal!

[Lycar]

Hmm, when to leave... what time of the day is it right now? if it is still early, why not leave... right now?

Oh and too bad that Verlyn doesn't really care what Jackel wrote down there (of course he is curious, what with the feline theme and all, but he doesn't show it. Aloof and all that...), because *I* certainly do.

Let me guess... either it's about the 'makes you adress me as lord' part or the 'or I'll have to duel you' part?

Lycar

[Toliudar]

Or just getting the names down so that he remembers the details better than I do...

[Lycar]

Hrm. It seems I need to amend his description a bit.

Verlyn is quite tall with 6'5", but he is also of fairly broad build. He's no weakling, so much you can tell.

Lycar

[The Great Skenardo]

Or just getting the names down so that he remembers the details better than I do...

Interesting guesses, all!

[Ozzy_G]

Hmm, when to leave... what time of the day is it right now? if it is still early, why not leave... right now?

If you remember, you've all met up in the evening.

[NobleSavage]

Just a reminder, guys, be careful leaving the tavern, or walking across the gangplank tomorrow. I get the tingling sensation some low CR monster is about to attack us. Perhaps a portion of the water will animate and rip us limb from limb...

[Ozzy_G]

Does anyone have anything in particular to do over the night before you get on the ship?

[The Great Skenardo]

Nope. Ready to go.

[NobleSavage]

Not so much.

[Toliudar]

I'm assuming Dion will leave half the 100gp with whatever converts or faithful she's found here.

[Lycar]

I don't think so. Verlyn and Kohan will just go to bed and meet up with their new employees next morning.

Also, its so nice to see that all the characters are going along with each other so well...

Lycar

[knewsom]

Well, if an obvious opportunity to run a scam presents itself for Runa, she'll obviously take it... especially with them leaving town the next day.

...like a wealthy merchant's house left unattended while he sleeps drunk, or is out drinking, or even sleeping. She CAN turn invisible after all.

But if nothing interesting abounds, she'll just go to bed.

[Toliudar]

I don't think so. Verlyn and Kohan will just go to bed and meet up with their new employees next morning.

Also, its so nice to see that all the characters are going along with each other so well...

Lycar

Indeed! I feel a bit sorry for the abrasive start, especially for Verlyn, who's going to have to try to herd these headstrong cats. Well, she's a follower of the god of storms! What did you expect?

[NobleSavage]

I'm assuming Dion will leave half the 100gp with whatever converts or faithful she's found here.

Oh, a fanatic. Great.

[The Great Skenardo]

Every group's got to have one, right?

Also: I guess Jackel isn't going to do anything of note tonight, unless there's someone in town he's personally marked.

[Lycar]

Indeed! I feel a bit sorry for the abrasive start, especially for Verlyn, who's going to have to try to herd these headstrong cats. Well, she's a follower of the god of storms! What did you expect?

Uh what? A cat herding cats? That would be... unique.

Yeah well, he's used to people milking their status for all it's worth and then some. So someone having a certain position and not using for leverage... doesn'nt compute.

Still, I am confident that all the hired help will show up tomorrow.
