[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 6150004, member: 79141"] [b]Extended Skill Challenge[/b] There are three main strands to the downtime period my main group of PCs is engaged in: training, to gain bonuses and boons instead of items, and to explain character developments such a multiclass feats and paragon paths; narrative progression of their personal plotlines that are not necessarily related to the core campaign storyline; and an extended skill challenge, which I thought I should describe below in order for it to make any sense: The skill challenge involves the whole unit (though some are able to contribute to a much greater extent than others) in an effort to prevent or at least delay the launch of a mercernary fleet sponsored by Black Star Mining and Pemberton Industries. This fleet plans to sail south and strike at the 'deep ones' (aboleth and their sahuagin servitors) to prevent a supposed invasion, open up trade routes with wealthy off-map border states, and obtain the mythical Stone of Not. The unit want to prevent the launch in part because they hate Khaled Valchek, owner of Black Star Mining, and in part because they have been asked to do so by the merfey who fear deep one reprisals. The group can prevent the launch in a number of ways, the most obvious being to have the Flint Council deny the fleet safe harbour or simply to delay its launch until after the break-down of peace talks, when every able Risuri ship will be placed on stand-by by the King. They have three goals: Goal 1 - Political influence. Persuade the councillors to their way of thinking. Goal 2 - Public opinion. Get the vocal majority of Flint to oppose the fleet. Goal 3 - Cause delays (by hook or by crook). Last week, Korrigan's political ambitions dovetailed with Goal 1 and saw him introduced to the workings of the council. He learned more about that this week, and began to realise the extent of the task that lay ahead of him. Next post, I'll provide a bit of detail on the council. [/QUOTE]
