[Fangor the Fierce]

Telsar, armor is done I simply went with breastplate. Here's a link if you need it: link

Note: I still need to spend a considerable amount of money...

I also have that delima about needing to spend a lot of money. Never got around to it, and from the looks of things, we might not have a chance soon, lol. I guess we can just take what we want from all the corpses that are piling up already...

I'll find something but having lots of coins would probably be very in character or him...

Telsar, question for you, I was looking at Accalon’s character sheet tonight and I noticed that I didn’t have synergy bonus for bluff, and sense motive on his diplomacy. Is it okay if I add them for here on out?

Yeah, the body count is mounting. As far as spending money goes, as long as you don't buy something that you really would have used previously, I don't care if you go ahead and mark it down on your character sheet and we'll say you've always had it. Otherwise, you can buy stuff during a lull in the excitement.

BTW, you're description of how Aligor moved around, and had the others do so too, was a bit confusing, but I think I got the gist of it. Just a problem with me not mapping anything. So, to see how much trouble it's going to be, a threw together a quick, simple, ugly map of the area you guys are in, and I'll attach it here, if it lets me. On this map, you guys are "Alv", "Alg", and "Su", and "Grl" shows where the girl was and the direction she ran. So I'm assuming, Sunedilar and Alev moved to position L16 on the map, with Aligor at G16 watching both them and where the Girl ran. Then Aligor followed them, and everyone proceeded to L12. Is that what you had in mind? (Of course, if the map doesn't attach, ignore all that. )

It should be added to your character sheet, in a way that I'll notice it and remember to count it.

The SRD says the following about Diplomacy synergy:
If you have 5 or more ranks in Bluff, Knowledge (nobility and royalty), or Sense Motive, you get a +2 bonus on Diplomacy checks

That implies to me that it's +2 total if you have any of those. Not +4 if you have two of them, or +6 with all 3. So your synergy bonus is just +2.

That's not how the book has it but it also states many times it's up to the DM judgment...

Yeah, I can see the confusing part. The map helps a great deal! Aligor's intention was to head towards G16, covering the others as they moved there, and then down towards K16, peering around the corner and seeing who else she had with her. They would then try to surprise attack the enemy by moving down to L12 or L13 and attacking.

I can't find any reference in the PHB that says they stack, and the reference I cited implies they don't. Plus... I don't think 3rd level characters should have access to a total Diplomacy value of +12, not even counting Charisma and feats. So, that's my ruling, but I still wouldn't mind seeing where you think it says they do combine.

And in case it helps with any descriptions or tactics, I've attached a rough map of Madame Brie's foyer and showing room.

I'm also not sure what "other entrance" to which room you're telling Lydia to go to. 'Course, I don't need to know, and maybe Lydia already does.
Which is probably all moot since he came out into the foyer.

Sure, simple enough. (I'm fine with the ruling BTW.)

Skill Synergy

It's possible for a character to have two skills that work well together, such as someone with both jump and Tumble. In general, having 5 or more ranks in one skill gives the character a +2 bonus on skill checks with each of its synergistic skills, as noted in the skill description and on Table 4-5: Skill Synergies. In some cases, this bonus applies only to specific uses of the skill in question, and not to all checks. Some skills provide benefits on other checks made by a character, such as those checks required to use certain class features.

Insert table 4-5 Skill Synergies (I'm to lazy to convert a chart right now but I will if it's truly needed)

Your DM may limit certain synergies if desired, or he add more synergies for specific situations.

Yeah, I guess Aeweth might need a map... Accalon is probably going to grab is cloak and move on...

I'm also not sure what "other entrance" to which room you're telling Lydia to go to. 'Course, I don't need to know, and maybe Lydia already does.

I wasn't sure what else to do I didn't want us to be an easy target by being grouped together and no maps had been shown so I took the liberty of stating that there was another entrance to the room... I figured that when Brie made her rounds, she was littler moving around in a circle.

Which is probably all moot since he came out into the foyer.

Very much so, but nice entrance anyhow as I had not a clue what he was.

Isida, I posted but I have no issues with editing my actions my last post. (link) I was simply wanting to write tonight. So if you have plans besides leaving let me know?

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

If she can do that, she will try to get out of immediate ear-and-eyeshot of the archon to see if Brie knows an alternate way out.

Isida, hey Lydia could in all honestly walk out the front door... Ezuvial just wants us to leave. (Just don’t go to far as Accalon doesn’t know anything about where the others are.)

Do you want Accalon to get your armor while he's upstairs retrieving his own items?

(I also replied to your email. )

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

I'll get my own freaking armor once celestial-boy leaves! Right now I just want Brie to pay us before she bolts.
