Break of Dawn [Manzanita judging] COMPLETED

[jkason]

(OOC: Tale? It's actually all true--it depends on how you think of 'continue' and 'proceed', not physically in space but rather on an objective-based sense.)

(OOC: I meant tale only in the "tell a sequence of events," sense. Didn't mean to imply fiction; just plot)

 

[Rystil Arden]

Quarion's face is expressionless as he listens to Aletheia. He thinks, Most tactful. I am impressed.

[sblock=OOC: ]B4cchus mentioned an upcoming XP award that never came. Was it forgotten, or intentionally delayed?[/sblock]

(OOC: Good point. I wish I could say that it might help bring Ally to level 3, but if someone else was closer to the next level, it could be a crucial factor for us)

 

[B4cchus]

ooc: The xp was forgotton. I'll get right on it.
Regarding ally's explanation: since it is bending the truth at the least would you like to roll a bluff check to go with your words or a diplomacy check?

-edit
First, the long overdue xp awards!
Eanos 600+750(time)=1350
Quarion and Mordik 720+450(time)=1170
Ally and Odno 720+300(time)=1020
you may leve right away although it's very, very busy at the character approval side of LEW.

Second: Lord Graven speaks.
As Dunbar leads your horses ot the stablehouse you enter the mansion and through the left hand door in the hallway that leads into the study.
Lord Graven is sitting in one of the comfortable chairs and immediately stands up to great you as you enter.
With clear excitement in his voice and movement he greets you. "Welcome back, brave adventurers! Take a seat. And a drink perhaps? We will have dinner later on. First you must tell me: Do you have it? Also I'd would be very much delighted to hear everything about your travels and discoveries!"

After Ally's news on you not having the amulet his mood drops slightly, but he recovers quickly "You need the other amulet you say? That is not what I expected. Tell me everything about what you encountered first. We must plan a second expedition right away."

(OOC: I'll roll a Diplomacy check. :rolls: Sweet! Rolled a 19, so 28. Someone can grab the DC 10 Aid Another check to make that a 30, but either way that has to be good!

Did Eanos sense anything. Ally will try too (her Sense Motive is cross-class so probably insufficient, but she'll try)

 

[jkason]

OOC: Hrm. I planned on taking the Channeling Fist feat at 6th level and multiclassing Eanos into a cleric of Ayratha (thus the spouting about how Ayratha was testing him periodically; I was doing RP to set up his 'conversion'). I'm not sure how well that works mid-adventure, though. I suppose we could say that it happened on the road back, since he's been in something of a quandry about what his obligations are? Would that be acceptable?

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Holy level gap, Batman! I hadn't realised that Eanos was even close to getting to 6th. I thought he had barely made 5th on this adventure too.)

 

[jkason]

(OOC: Holy level gap, Batman! I hadn't realised that Eanos was even close to getting to 6th. I thought he had barely made 5th on this adventure too.)

OOC: Surprised me, too. Eanos was just short of 5th level when we started, and I really didn't expect him to hit 6th before we were done, or I'd probably have had this conversation earlier...

Oh, bloody heck, I'm a moron. Eanos isn't close to 6th. I read the XP completely wrong (I was dropping a zero on the XP he has / needed or adding a zero to what he was getting. Either way.). He's still a two thousand XP short of 6th.

*slaps head* I'm really sorry, guys.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Yeah, that seemed impossible--consider: a 1st-level character (Ally and Odno) needs 3000 experience to reach level 3, 6000 to reach level 4. A 5th level character needs 5000 to reach level 6, just short of 5th might mean around 6000 in total. Admittedly, the game has had relatively low XP awards for encounters such Eanos's extra time XP dominates his loss on encounter XP for being higher level, but it has still been somewhat close. Thus, to have him gain 6000ish XP while Ally and Odno gained 2200 (the amount we've gotten so far) seemed...off. Or to put it another way--it seemed weird that the level gap was increasing rather than decreasing.)

[sblock=Seeing the light]My other psion travelled with father Eusebius, AFAIK the 1st character getting Channeling fist. He gained his 1st level of cleric when we were deep in a mine infested with zombies; he even found his holy symbol right there. So on my part there's no problem with Eanos multiclassing as he sees fit.[/sblock]

 

[Someone]

Odno coughs a couple times as Aletheia twists the truth, pehaps trying to cover it's screams as it is bent in new shapes.
