Message: <blockquote data-quote="Iron Sky" data-source="post: 5472335" data-attributes="member: 60965">The group, after sitting down and weighing the options, decides the tunnels will be the safest, but only time will tell...Advancing into the labyrinthine mix of natural and artificial abandoned crisscrossing paths proves to be quite a challenge and the group quickly risks getting lost. To make matters worse, while most of the dead are packed into the halls the group avoided, some are still wandering here and there...[GM]In my systematic (slightly OCD) way, I assigned 2 points to each person's top pick, 1 to the second, and 0 to the third. I considered H.M. to vote 0 for each and Mewness as voting 2 for tunnels and 1 for each of fight and trapsResults:Traps: 7Tunnels: 7Fight: 2So, tiebreaker, 3 people voted tunnels as their top pick, 2 picked traps. Tunnels it is.As a side note, thanks for being guinea pigs as I tinker with my skill challenge system. I think it's getting close to where I want it. Feel free to give any criticism/feedback about it that might help me make it better/more fun.[/GM][sblock=Skill Challenge]Objective: Make your way to the dark temple at the heart of the warrens by navigating the treacherous hazards of the long, dark tunnels leading to them.

Otherwise, the roll applies to the challenge as usual.Scout: One player may elect to be the Scout - they make both a Perception and a Stealth check and applies one to the challenge and one to "undead avoidance" - player's choice.[sblock=Undead Avoidance]Skill Check Result:15-: the group has caught the attention of many of the dead, all DCs are raised by 2 for the rest of the challenge as the group must also avoid the dead.16-20: the group has aroused the suspicions of some of the dead, all DCs are raised by 1 for the rest of the challenge as the group must avoid the dead.20-25: the group avoided notice this round.26+: the group has slipped past any of the dead and doesn't have to worry about having a Scout for the rest of the challenge.[/sblock]Rounds: 3[sblock=For Later]Round Results:Fredrock: Eithal: Toeto: Yishim: Kaz: Scarn: Challenge Total: 0 Points[/sblock]Individual Skill DCs:15-: 0 points, -2 to next round's skill check16-20: 1 point, -1 to next round's skill check21-25: 2 points, +1 to next round's skill check26+: 3 points, +2 to the next round's skill checkNatural 1: -1 point, lose a healing surge due to exertionNatural 20: +1 point, stumble upon treasureRound Totals(6 PCs):0-5 total points: 0 victory points and Disaster6-11 total points: 1 victory point and Complication12-17 total points: 2 victory points and Advantage18+ total points: 3 victory points and MiracleVictory Points: Individual round totals will determine progress   and impediments to crossing the warrens.
