But it was a SPY HAWK, totes threatening

Aeti · 09-30-2012, 10:31 PM

I realize that people have busy lives and such, but can we try to move things along a little better? Atm I'm hoping Nic says something about the wall, maybe knocks or searches it in some way, because he's the only one who knows about it.

Shakedown · 10-01-2012, 08:15 PM

follow the stream to find a town or enter the settlement to look for dwarves? Maybe settlement, they can take us through the mountains since we're trying to go south right?

Aeti · 10-01-2012, 08:43 PM

The Seeker probs isn't a dwarf, maybe we can throw him off our trail! Unless that hawk is his, then yeah bad times. But if there's a nearby non-dwarf settlement, I would've expected some trading between them, and this area doesn't have a visible path, does it? So either there's another entrance, or there's no other non-dwarf settlements, or there's no trading between them because of what Aunt Mary said about Chief Rockbottom's eldest daughter.

I'm all for visitin tha dwarves.

this is my search check, didn't like me and didn't want to double post.

Search - (1d20+3)[5]

Edit: Totally fits!

lando_zeus · 10-01-2012, 08:52 PM

My search

(1d20)[4]

Aeti · 10-01-2012, 08:53 PM

Perfect! Now we just have to wait for a dwarf to poke his head out and tell us to "stop making that racket'

lando_zeus · 10-02-2012, 02:56 AM

Actually, is this pretty dumb? Shouldn't we just be taking 20?

Shakedown · 10-02-2012, 10:48 AM

Andrew and I rolled pretty high I think we'll probably find something.

!rorak · 10-02-2012, 11:33 AM

Who's the seeker, anyway? I feel like this is something Tharin would have told duncan.

Shakedown · 10-02-2012, 12:47 PM

The dude who apparently kidnapped us and brought us out into the boondocks. The goblins were working for him. We don't know very much else.

Aeti · 10-06-2012, 01:11 PM

Did you try rolling a bardic knowledge check about him when we first heard his name? I can't remember and too lazy to check, but mebbe we'll roll lucky and Jacinth will happen to know his complete history.

!rorak · 10-07-2012, 04:28 PM

Bardic knowledge can be kinda limiting though. I'd suspect you'd hear something like:

'They call him the Seeker, he's been searching low and high. He won't get what he's after until the day he dies.

You ask several other bards--Bobby Dylan, The Beatles, Timothy Leary--but they can't help you either.'

DrunkyTheClown · 10-07-2012, 05:00 PM

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure we did those rolls already at the very first mention of the Seeker.

lando_zeus · 10-08-2012, 12:38 AM

Yeah it already happened.

Aeti · 10-08-2012, 08:41 PM

Someone's approaching from behind! Do we hide and lie in wait? Run away? Confront them?

lando_zeus · 10-09-2012, 01:51 AM

Just checking, can everybody hear these steps or just the dogs?

Aeti · 10-09-2012, 01:53 AM

That's no way to talk about Jacinth!

lando_zeus · 10-09-2012, 11:33 AM

Hah, sorry.

DrunkyTheClown · 10-10-2012, 05:49 AM

Gah, sorry about the bad rolls guys.

Aeti · 10-10-2012, 12:12 PM

Still better than the triple 1s from Enthusio and his Bold Companions at the Tower of the Confectionaries.

DrunkyTheClown · 10-13-2012, 05:48 PM

Whadda you guys think? Hostile or no?

Aeti · 10-14-2012, 01:16 AM

Well, they're looking for us specifically, so maybe it's a group of dwarves sent to get rid of the adventurers poking around the secret entrance? Nothing stopping the Seeker from using Sending and offering a reward for our capture at every settlement from here to the Westwall Mountains though. If they ARE enemies, then Valette would still want to meet them, if only to kill them all and conceal our presence.

Shakedown · 10-14-2012, 06:05 PM

Yeah we may as well meet them. They've already seen the dog and it'll give us something to do. Hopefully they are friends!

lando_zeus · 10-17-2012, 10:06 PM

Jacinth and I aren't hidden.

Aeti · 10-18-2012, 08:21 AM

Oh I thought Duncan was hiding with me. Guess it's just me! I have my crossbow out btw.

lando_zeus · 10-18-2012, 10:23 PM

what did the dwarf say in dwarf language?

Aeti · 10-19-2012, 05:49 PM

"Can you pay the Bartender? I'm a little short."

DrunkyTheClown · 10-20-2012, 04:32 PM

"That's a pretty tall order."

Arf isn't hiding anymore, he's doing what everyone else is doing because he's a dog. :3

Nic, I think the dwarf just repeated what he said in common.

jm_jazzman · 10-21-2012, 01:09 AM

Sorry, should have made that more clear. He did indeed just say the same thing.
