[QUOTE="The Shaman, post: 2178563, member: 26473"] Taking 10 on the Research check requires 1-4 hours to complete - taking 20 means that the Research check takes 20-80 hours. If the check is interrupted for any reason, I calculate how much time you've spent and give you that much of the check as your roll - for example, if you attempt to take 20 and you're interrupted in hour 20 of a 40 hour check, your roll for the skill check is 10. Considering you still need sleep or risk being fatigued, you have about 24 useful hours between Friday evening and Sunday morning before "checking out" of Dr. Martin's guest house - this would constitute an interruption of the skill check. Does that give you enough information for you to plan your actions?Good players make all the difference. :) If a space comes open, we'll go ahead and have you make your character then - IMX it's easier to tailor the character to the campaign at that point, so the character can be dropped into the action a little more readily.
