Also, I know you said I recognize the sign of the maiden, but shouldn't the other Sid in the party?

Ooh, stuff happens! Intriguing! I wish I had time to post tonight but I probably won't. Going to try and set aside time tomorrow evening.

Hi guys. Sorry about the delay.

I'm waiting on The_Snark for a post (and Stealth roll against Penumbra), Guancyto to post their character's introduction, and Lix to roll her Wits+Stealth check. Once one or more of these things happens, I can move the game forward.

Given the overall silence, I'd like it noted that trying to play Xanatos Speed Gateway with Occult 0 and an insane pileup of unfortunate coincidences (from Skandi's point of view) is, in fact, at least as fun as it looks. Especially the failing part.

Which, narratively, is probably a good thing, as it'll get her noticed by the party. Yay!

Apologies. Assume that Maren is waiting at least a few seconds before following, and that she fails the Stealth check (because she's not expecting to be spied on from above and really, ten successes? Probably wouldn't matter). Actual IC post in the next day or two.

It's oddly difficult to stunt interpreting an omen when you don't have any idea what the omen will be. Oh well.

Also, after all that I forgot my Stealth roll to see if Penumbra can see her (answer: yes). Rolling Wits + Stealth, since Dexterity doesn't seem to fit here:

Is Child's starmetal powerbow concealed by charms, mundane means, or not at all?

Waiting to post IC until Sierra gets a chance to talk, but to answer Tavar's question: Skandi isn't wearing any insignia that would indicate rank.

Bleh. Been up since 3:50 this morning. Since it's now 10:30, I'm going to go to bed.

I'll catch up and post for Rose in the morning, okay?

According to her sheet, Aya only has Discreet Essence Armor. I'm ruling she doesn't seem to have any artifacts.
