Ah, forgot about the change to Toughness. Well, it's not obvious from the write up. My gut would be +3 at 1st level, +1 thereafter, but I'm sure one extra hit point isn't going to be a problem - you'll probably need it at some point - so I'm going to go with your interpretation.

HolyMan, sure, that would be fine.

If your character was once one of the Little Lamms, he will already know Edmond and Djhan, since they were also part of that group. You may want to determine the nature of your relationship with Neurotic and Ambrus as well.

Hopefully ready to bring you guys in soon.

Mowgli, HolyMan, might be a little while before your characters are introduced. I had hoped to get this knife fight over by the weekend, as I'm away all of next week. So, probably looking to week beginning 3rd August now, I'm afraid.

I will be mostly out of touch starting monday until August 15th.

I hope we can resolve this before that, if not, NPC Edmond as needed.

Thug is now prone, is he on or off the table? Could you give little bit If Edmond can raise him by his arm and turn him so his back is toward him he could pin him without much trouble. It helps that we are already grappled

Edmond uses Expertise to avoid the knife and simply bashes his fist into thugs face (relying on a) prone b) off hand c) expertize for defense

No problem. I'm eager to get started, but I've got plenty of irons in the fire to keep me busy as well. I've subscribed to the threads, and will be keeping up as new stuff is posted.

Holyman, Mowgli, just to let you know I'm still here despite the outages, and we should be able to bring your characters in v. shortly.

Glad you're not throwing in the towel! I figure slow posting is better than no posting . . . Manachan's ready when you are.

Holyman, can you put your character up in the Rogue's Gallery, please?

Just re-read and noticed that Neurotic is away until the 15th, but shouldn't be a problem. It actually makes it a bit easier at the moment as that makes the current situation a solo for Ambrus.

Thanks! I'm blessed to have a good friend who is a fantastic artist. This is a pic he did of his character for a HERO game I ran here on ENWorld a year or so back. I've shamelessly absconded with it for Manachan's appearance 'cause I like it so dang much.

I'm sorry Doc, but I feel I have to ask. Do you reroll the opposed Stealth/Perception checks every round? My understanding is that the opposed roll is rolled only once per scene as soon as there's a chance that the one using stealth might be detected. Since Dj'hân wasn't noticed when he first left the backpack I figured he'd be alright as long as he remained concealed. It seems a little unfair to continue rolling opposed rolls; its inevitable that an unlucky combination of rolls will eventually occur if one rolls over and over again.

Ambrus

No, not every round, only when circumstances change.

1. Dj'hân moves from the rucksack to the stairs. Most people are otherwise occupied.

2. Devargo approaches the stairs where Dj'hân is standing. Dj'hân manages to slip out of sight in time. From here, he can follow Devargo to his room without problem, since Devargo hasn't noticed him and isn't looking for him.

3. Dj'hân finds a new hiding place under the table. Devargo turns around and walks past Dj'hân's hiding place.

Now, I wouldn't necessarily make checks all the time, but Devargo is depicted as a very shrewd and canny individual. I think he'd pick up if something was out of place in one of his own rooms, even if subconsciously.

As for unlucky rolls, well, yes, but that's the same for anything in a d20 system. The chance of failure makes the risks more worthwhile. You wouldn't want sneaking into the inner sanctum of a ruthless crime lord to be without risk, would you?

I'd disagree that circumstances changed sufficiently to require new opposed rolls; Dj'hân started out hiding from Devargo and never stopped. I could similarly describe Dj'hân's stealth abilities as being uncanny and preternatural; but that wouldn't normally grant him the ability to reroll skill checks. The extent of his abilities are defined by his stats.

But if that's your call then I'll go with it. Unfortunately, I have no exit strategy for getting out of this war zone.

Edit: Out of curiosity, what light source is there below decks?
