Eberron "Side Trek" (OOC); Roll Call

[MavrickWeirdo]

are we tracking Xp, or are you?

I was planning on tracking it, considering in a PbP game everything is written down, it should not be hard to keep track.

Xp awards for the first week

Kaelendor, & Salina each get 200 xp for geting in.

Thaean gets 200 xp for not breaking the truce when the goblin showed up.

Chen the Mask gets 220 xp for "getting by on charm"

Shiva gets 230 xp for being a good sport (any "trap" you survive gives you experience).

Finally

Carver gets 350 xp for getting in, and for his natural curiosity

Woho! Carver has been fun, good to know he's been helpfull too.

Keeper Caedaes finishes with a wish that everyone enjoy the celebration, but keep to the truce.

"Jhonas, is the truce of the elves realy that fragile that they have to be reminded to keep it at every notice? Why do the elves here always fight? I remember reading that many other elves are more likely students and scholars and not as intent on fighting as those of Valenar." Carver inquires.

Am I laying it on too thick?

Am I laying it on too thick?

No, actualy I think it's perfect. It's a hard to explain cultural thing, and I as a player undersand it perfectly and actualy a nice touch.

Honestly, I was looking for a hook for something to say or do, as I felt I was sort of left in a lurch till everything else continued on. I'm sure Carver will continue to pester ask Jhonas some simple questions, which if nothing else, will probably provide some "Insight/Comedy of the child" moments.

Since Carver is not very skilled at carving, but has good tools and is generaly good at crafting, I'm not sure exactly how good the carving is. It should be one of his better ones (he never takes a 10, always rolls for them) as he was hoping to impress the elves and give a suitable gift, so my guess is he at least hit a DC 20. If he happened to roll a 20 on it, he hits a DC 25 (and rolled a 20), but I'm not going to assume hitting a 20 on anything, even a simple RP carving.

It is an "art object" so it's value is based on it's complexity (and materials, however you did not say it was an exotic wood or that it included precious stones.)

Simple Item is DC5
Typical Item is DC10
High Quality Item is DC15
Superior Item is DC20

I would say that the sculpture you described is in the DC 12 to DC 15 range. So tell me the DC you want, and how many weeks you worked on it.

OOC: What time is the disturbance? and does anyone else here this?

which disturbance?

Thaean starts chasing the goblin, in the grooms camp, a little after sunset about 6:30pm. The full impact of this disturbance has not been resolved. I am waiting to see what Ferrix wants to do next.

Thail finds a human, in the brides camp, a little after midnight. I'm guessing there will be less comotion for this disturbance. (solkan_uk I'll have an in game response for you shortly)

D20Dazza,
1st: does Sarina "Interact with"/Notice the other PC's when they visited the gift tent before sunset.
2nd what are Sarina's plans after "dinner"?

I was thinking the chasing goblin, but any other disturbance is good to note.

Just let me know if Carver hears anything.

As for the object, it was probably something he worked on for a week or two. Keep in mind that Warforged don't sleep, so they can craft a bit faster by going all day long. It was just normal wood, but it was carved well. My Craft: Woodworking is +5, and like I said, it's something a bit better than my average. But I'm not familiar with the fine art rules. He's more just wondering what people think of his work.

Here is what I decided about the sculpture. Supposedly, just because warforged can stay awake 24 hours does not mean that they can keep doing the same thing for 24 hours. For a "hobby" skill like carving I will let you do it for up to 16 hours a day (so 2 weeks per week). For armorsmithing, or weaponsmithing, I would not allow over 8 hours a day (unless he was repairing himself.)

I set the DC at 15

so for 4 weeks work his carving check totals were 12, 15, 22, & 12. The successful rolls are multiplied by the DC # for how many sp of work was done. The total was 555 sp (or 55.5 gp). If you look at page 55 of the 3.5 DMG you'll see that is a little over the average value of a "carved bone or ivory statuette". The bride thoughtit was lovely and it does have a place of some prominence in the room

Cool.

Wow, I could make some money off this if Carver actualy cared

Well, your material costs were 18.5 gp, and your craft total for the 5th week (which you did not use) was an 8, which would have meant that you made a mistake which reduced the value of the piece to about 28gp. (Good thing you gave it away when you did )

Just because that is the "appraised value" does not mean you will find a buyer who will actually pay that much.
