[IC] The Protectors of Greensfen (Part II)

Everyone is up

Joshua and Blay engage in a rather convincing display of drunkenness, no doubt greatly enhanced by their life experiences. (OOC: Bluff with aid another = 20 - success).

Kraegyn has more difficulty finding a house than he does battling a hostile fighting force - he looks the part of a tourist, despite his efforts (OOC: fail)

OOC: Everyone's turn is up.

Karis and Rellek: 2 successes/0 failures
Rest of Party: 1 success/1 failure

Taking to the shadowns with Karis, Rellek felt more comfortable in the shadows away from the glare of town life. To him, being in a city was akin to an Orc at a ball, he felt happiest where his awkwardness would not be noticed. But though he felt more comfortable in the deepening shadows, it wasn't the time for slouching. Their enemies had already been able to locate them, this was disturbing. Rellek didn't like to think of the enemy being able to pluck at them with such immunity.

As they moved stealthily past blithly unaware townsfolk going about their evening activities, Rellek's piercing eyes sought to unearth every clue available to him, every snatch of conversation or sign that might tell them more or offer some clues to what might be going on.

Ok here is my role for Perception 23...

Still clinging to the shadows, Karis watches carefully for anyone who seems out of the ordinary. Unfortunately, her eyes keep straying to Kraegyn, whose rubbernecking is hard to ignore. Come on, elf. Concentrate, she reprimands herself.

ooc: perception 12.
 

Blay and Kraegyn are next

While Karis has a little trouble focusing (OOC: fail), Rellek's eyes and mind are both wide open as he scans the streets. (OOC: success). He carefully guides Karis through the darkness, keeping them hidden as he searches the immediate vicinity for danger. No threats manifest themselves.

OOC: Blay and Kraegyn are next, then everyone

Karis and Rellek: 3 successes/1 failures
Rest of Party: 1 success/1 failure, Joshua aid successful
 

Kraegyn realized how much of a spectacle he presented, but this sort of activity was not his strong point- he usually preferred to be obvious and straightforward. But in this case another approach was called for...

He tried to mime a stumble- perhaps his behavior could be mistaken for a simple alcohol-fueled meandering. Hopefully one of the others could keep track of the route to the 'lodgings'. Unfortunately his 'drunken' stumble proved ill-timed and he actually lost his footing, landing with a clatter of armor which drew even more attention.

OOC: Try Bluff, I guess; 1d20+3 untrained= 5 (fail); roll Roll Lookup
 

Kraegyn's tough dragonborn frame proves no match for the powerful, vindictive ground on which he walks. He tumbles to the ground, chastened.

OOC: Blay is up, Karis and Rellek may proceed as well. Work has been, well, work. Trying to get things going again...

Karis and Rellek: 3 successes/1 failures
Rest of Party: 1 success/2 failures
 

Rellek continued to move silently all the while seeking not to miss any important clues that might be gleaned from the streets, houses and present occupants around him. Since the party were doing a good impression of being drunk, or clumsey, Rellek couldn't be sure. He slowed his pace using the delay to take his time as he looked around as the evening drew on.

NT I am taking a moment to use the slower pace of the party to take my time if time allows it. My perception allows for +8 but if opportunity allows me to gain any bonsus from going significantly slower owing to the the parties stumbles then I am using that not to move and instead take a good look around.

As it stands I rolled 15 for perception -so that makes that a fail, unless my slowing down forgoing movement and taking a longer look affords me any bonuses?

Karis pauses, struck by the thought that if she were trailing the main group of the party, she would try to do so unnoticed. She resumes her examination of the area, concentrating on places where an observer could remain hidden from the party.

ooc: I'm shooting for some kind of synergy between stealth and perception here; not sure how you want to play it, so I'll just note that Karis has +8 perception and +10 stealth, and post the raw d20 roll: 2. Argh!
