[sblock=fireinthedust]If we were sitting at a table playing this game, I'd be having the same conversation with Gandalf. We would have eventually gotten to the RP reasoning.

Also, Kain suffered 10 cold damage from the mold already, so he knows it's bad news.

Also also, you're right - we should be PMing or using the OOC thread for this.[/sblock]

If we were sitting at a table playing this game, I'd be having the same conversation with Gandalf. We would have eventually gotten to the RP reasoning.

Yeah, I thought of that. Sort of a table-top discussion informing the IC action rather than the other way around. It could be argued that the OOC is an aide to the player, who isn't the same person as their character, to understanding what their character knows and would do. Makes sense.

Also, Kain suffered 10 cold damage from the mold already, so he knows it's bad news.

I'd forgotten that... good call! However, whether or not Julius is covered in it now, or that it's damaging him, hasn't been communicated.

Also also, you're right - we should be PMing or using the OOC thread for this.

Almost. OOC discussions are fantastic, and actually your spell is a great plan I hadn't thought of (!), I'm just trying to keep up the novel-style of PbP games' IC portions. What you guys did, discussing the plan, was great. What would have made it perfect would have been the IC component.

So basically, do exactly what you guys are doing, but could we please talk about it in IC first *then* post the OOC.

Y'know, I guess it isn't a big deal; I'm just used to being anal about "you know this" and "you don't know this", whether or not it influences actions. [/sblock]

 

[fireinthedust]

So: Kain, are you casting Resist Elements on Julius, knowing (as you do) that the mold is chilling anyone it touches?

Renya taps Jack on the arm, points to Julius, and flashes a couple of quick hand signs.

[sblock=Sign Language]
Julius cold
Can the Priest help?
Try to warm him
[/sblock]

With that she hands him the torch and sprints for the wagon. Quickly rifling through the supplies she grabs a blanket and a bundle of the kindling kept in case there is none to be foraged. Hurrying back she drapes the blanket over the shivering Julius, and gets him to sit with his back to one of the other pillars. She starts to arrange the kindling on one of the huge stone slabs of which the temple floor is constructed. Retrieving the torch, she motions to Jack to collect some branches, while she tries to start a fire going.

Are any applications of the Heal skill applicable here? Does Julius appear to have come into contact with spores of some sort; if so, could the sort of remedies typically used for diseases be of any use?

[sblock=Heal Skill] Hmmmm, excellent question. The sort of thing that could require a Nature or Heal check to determine!

He does appear to be covered in brown mold.[/sblock]

 

[grufflehead]

[sblock=OOC]Best be careful I don't rub any mold off on myself!

Renya's Heal is better than KS:Nature so let's go with that
Heal check 1d20+12=32

Wow. Normally I'd consider that a potential missed crit, but if it helps save our companion's neck, then I'll gladly take it

"Keepiru!" shouts Jack trying to get the priest's attention. The big beast stares down at the torch as Renya starts the building of a bonfire to warm Julius. "Wait." He continues to stare and one could almost sense the cogs turning in his little brain. "Fire make mold hurt us with cold. No fire. Use..." One clawed hand waves in the air as his imagination fails him.

Sindri hearing the tone in Jack's call turns to the priest. "Something is really wrong back there." He heads back to find out what it is.

 

[SelcSilverhand]

Hearing his name called, Keepiru pushes the ladle into the scholars hands and rushes over to see what the commotion is about. Seeing Julius being bundled in blankets by Reyna he says, "What's wrong?" Seeing that she has already begun looking him over, he begins to assist her. He frowns as he notes the blue tinge around the extremities and other signs of frostbite. Seeing the strange substance coating him he asks aloud, "What is that stuff? Did you touch something?

OOC
[SBLOCK]
Heal skill is +8, and I'll use it to aid Reyna's attempt to treat him.

"No, it jumped at him from that door. We're trying to remove it with fire, but theres alot of it."

 

[GandalfMithrandir]

"Fire's not helping here" Julius says thorough shivvering teeth "When we tried to burn the stuff on the door it didn't stop that, maybe it feeds off of heat, and that's why more jumped onto me after we burned it, and why everything around it becomes cold"
