[OOC] Quickleaf's Rime of the Frostmaiden [closed for now]

[happylace]

@happylace
So we're on the same page, what specific information are we trying to get out of this encounter with the cultists?

Getting information about the murder itself would be great. Examining the crime scene if possible. Trying to figure out if any of the Aurilites here might have had a hand in it. Basically treating it like a typical murder investigation. We could also potentially try to gleam if there is any specific significance to this constellation pattern, if its part of some ritual, why it might be happening NOW of all times.

Anything else you can think of, those are just some suggestions.

I'm unsure of what to have my character say for that since your character's the one with the idea of how to proceed.

Could you start and Zeth will join in to help?

I’m no gonna lie, I have no idea what’s happening everywhere else. It’s going too fast. I’m still in cause I’m just in a card game, but there’s already 8 pages of stuff and I’ve made, like, three posts, lol.

I'll slow things down a bit on my end. Morning/evening (US Pacific Time) posting seems to work best for my schedule.

Basically, 4 PCs are at the Kennel, getting lead on the dwarf Torrga Icevein's caravan. These PCs are Aric (goblin), Corse (ranger), Logrim (gnome), Russet (harengon).

2 PCs are at the Temple, investigating priest's murder. These PCs are Alma (researcher) & Zeth (warlock).

And 3 PCs are at the Tavern: you, Jack (fairy), and Lumrolur (deep gnome) disguised as a drunk halfling.

Oh it

@Steve Gorak @Kobold Stew @VLAD the Destroyer @domminniti Feeling finished at the kennel, and heading back to the tavern/inn?

 

[Kobold Stew]

Corse is done, but will snoop for an hour to see if anything gets reported to someone else. But yes, done.

 

[Necropolitan]

I'm unsure of what my character can add to the scene he's in.

well jelenneth is coming for your ass atm BUT if you have any ideas about how we could use her mentioning the triad to like. work the priest's murder into the conversation that might be a good start. we have some info on the constellations now, but not a lot on the murder itself. idk just a suggestion tho. do whatever feels natural for the character

Would Zeth relating his experiences and survival in the frozen wilderness give any bonuses to a Persuasion roll?

I think if you were very honest about your experience, withholding only the minimum possible, that might impress her and get you Advantage, yeah.

But depends on what you want to make a Persuasion check for...

Does what I've written work? The first roll was higher so it'll be the same with or without advantage.

@Steve Gorak @Kobold Stew @VLAD the Destroyer @domminniti Feeling finished at the kennel, and heading back to the tavern/inn?

Yep, I agree. Aric will stay with Corse, but I agree that after that hour, we should move on.
Cheers,

SG

 

[VLAD the Destroyer]

I'm done at the kennels as well.

 

[domminniti]

I'm done at the kennels as well.

I will be shortly just after this interaction I think

 

[Quickleaf]

Sounds good. I think we're almost back to getting everyone together at the inn/tavern. Thanks for bearing with the 3 scenes split party.

I'll do the end of the card game post tonight, and more of what Lumrolur has overheard.

 

[Neurotic]

I'll check if I can communicate witht hem without them knowing who it is, might enable them some maneuverability and full denialability...give me an hour ior so to get to the computer

Btw, I thought more about Outlander background feature... Would this work for you, Steve?

Outlander Background: Food by Environs

• In forests & lakes around Ten-Towns, you can find 5 lbs. of food (default).
• In the Sea of Moving Ice & Spine of the World mountains, you can find 4 lbs. of food.
• In the southwestern tundra & along rivers, you can find 3 lbs. of food.
• In the northwestern & southeastern tundra, you can find 2 lbs. of food.
• In the northeastern tundra (worst weather), you can find 1 lb. of food.

Rolling Sleight of Hand for Lumrolur...

Spoiler

for Lumrolur DC 13 Sleight of Hand check to plant the note: 1D20+5 = [15]+5 = 20

That works, we just need to specify in what amount of time (is it that quantity per hour or per 8 hours of continuously searching?).
Also, will 1 pound of food sustain 1 person for 24h? I’m assuming so.
Cool beans!
Cheers,

Ps: there is perhaps a food finding hack using the find animal or plant spell. For your consideration @quickleaf
