[OOC Thread] Delving the Mists (seeking recruits!)

[Salzorin]

Wasn't expecting there to not be a roll... but I did retrieve the bag from Goilon earlier, before we had sorted out even his name(posted my looking for it before the man had even been moved actually)... and while I said I was going to take the bag from the guy and inspect it, everyone else focused their attention on Goilon. Nobody said they were going to look to see what was in the bag, so I think that counts for something.... pretty easy to take 5pp when nobody's looking at you.

Whether or not he's "behind" all of us when he does it, we're still paying more attention to Goilon right now than Quilan. But, yeah, he better roll well on his Sleight check...

Natalie is definitely paying more attention to Goilon. She wants to know who he's working for, so she has someone to blame for her being woken up to slosh in some sewers, rather than her allies. And if she does spot him pocketing the coins, she probably wouldn't say much yet... the coins would be the hardest to return to their rightful owners anyway, unless our criminal masterminds kept records of who they stole from and how much.

Nothing wrong with PCs doing a little underhanded stuff behind the party's back. In fact, Natalie may have to start scaring the perps that way.

Not going to have time to play this out because I have to leave right after work. But the way I see this happening is that Quilan picks up the sack and tries to pocket the gold unnoticed (rolls Sleight of Hand) and everyone else gets one chance to see him cuz he's gonna be quick about it (thus a Spot check). If any one PC succeeds at the Spot check I'll describe what they see (more or less depending on the degree of success) and let them decide how to react to it if at all.

The SRD describes Spot as being primarily used to detect creatures or creatures who are hiding...so it isn't much of a stretch to say it should be used to detect people trying to hide an action. And being behind a PC and whatnot doesn't really apply in D&D because there are technically no facing rules...but if you picked one specific person of the group (because they are all facing in slightly different directions) you could probably negate their ability to catch you.

 

[Pyrex]

Rather than picking one person who doesn't roll, it's probably easier (and cleaner mechanically) to give Quilan a circumstance bonus to his Sleight check as we're paying more attention to Goilon.

That works too...although I don't think anyone has much of a chance besides Natalie with her +12 mod (+14 if her owl is there....er, IS her owl down here? ) to beat Quilan's +16 mod.

Perspie, Natalie's owl, is far wiser than she is, so... no, he's not down here.

 

[Gramcrackered]

Works for me.

You do realize that I am in a room alone with jewelry. And that my first class was rogue?

Er...you just meant Omar not Onar, right?
