Lamentation of Lolth - OoC VIII

[Wilphe]

I will finish off Laurent's equipment tout suite.

Neither he nor I expect a share, and he's not proficiant with a Scimitar yet anyway. That said. We might expect the situation to change after a battle or to where he's usefulness and used a cure stick or two, but right now, it's a non issue for him and me.

That said, if the group decides they want to give him custody of a wand as backup that's cool

Kirinke - What exactly are you trying to accomplish with the diplomacy check request? Teleri's not asking a question that might be deemed sensitive information and is not trying to get anything that Andress might be reluctant to tell her out of her, she's simply trading words with her back and forth, but to what end? It was just a little confusing to see that. If you could elaborate more on what it is you're looking to do?

 

[kirinke]

Well considering Teleri's fairly average charisma score, I was using the diplomancy check to make sure that Andress didn't take offense.

Teleri is in fact seeing which way the wind blows and she is also gauging Andress' character, exactly what sort of priestess she is. In addition, she's also fishing for information as well as establishing herself as relatively harmless as well as forming some sort of rapport with the Illmater priestess, because she is a principle person in Twilight Hallow.

 

[Majin]

That would technically be three seperate checks. Diplomacy to not piss her off, Sense Motive to gauge her and gather information to well... gather information. In the future, if it's not obvious what the skill check your requesting is being used for please write up a small description as to what you'd like to try to do.

 

[kirinke]

Alrighty. Well, I just put up the Diplomancy check, because I didn't have any ranks in sense motive or gather information. About the only thing that might work is a Wisdom bonus to those checks. I dunno.... You're da boss.

And I thought I did tell you what I was going to do right before she left to go see Andress. I could be mistaken though.

 

[Majin]

Whether that be the case or not, on specific instances of skill usage it is better if you be more specific or direct about it, just to be safe so there's no confusion. The whole "concept" behind going to see someone "in-game" and a specific use of a skill have no correlation between each other unless they are both put into action in the same post, if you get what I'm saying.

It's also to protect your characters from being second-guessed by the DM. So as to avoid them doing something that you really didn't have in mind.

 

[kirinke]

Gotcha. No argument there. On with the game?

 

[Majin]

As always...

 

[kirinke]

I should warn you, Teleri is very suspicious of Andress. Just the idea of parading the body of a paladin, whom the priestess has admitted that she knows soul is in torment by some unknown enemy seems.... Ewww. If you get my meaning.

 

[hippocrachus]

Ilmater is the god of Suffering. Parading the body of one who has suffered in the name of Ilmater doesn't seem that suspicious.
I'm a little intrigued as to why Teleri suspects Andress of anything.
