Q'Barra: Facing Truth OOC

[EvolutionKB]

Pebele, is there time to get a signal whistle before we leave? Or is there a certain kind of skill check you'd have us make to imitate a bird call or something. Does everybody agree with what is proposed? That is, Kaelan and Sepoto to either side of the group, with Charles hidden further up front. Then on the actual trail have Catherine, Treb, and Darrick.

A signal whistle would be something that those of you with stealth training would have, right?

So, in the interest of actually getting this thing started, just go ahead and add it to your inventory if you have the gold for it. It's quite likely that someone would consider that it may prove useful.

Added to inventory; cost 8sp

 

[Pebele]

Hey all, you're actually approaching your first encounter, so I need a little help from you.

I have the positions for the three on the trail (Catherine, Darrick and Trebuchet), but how far away are the three 'scout' characters?

How far off the trail and how far ahead of the others are you three? Also, are you all making an effort to remain undetected? If so, then for each day I need you three to roll hide and move silently checks. Also remember that if you're moving more than half speed you need to take all appropriate penalties.

 

[EvolutionKB]

I am five feet off the trail, right on the edge of the jungle, on the right flank; at this point I am keeping up Treb. Hide and MS I'll post in the IC thread. I'm going to post the checks assuming we are moving at normal speed, if people decide that wouldn't be a good idea(we move slow and steadily or normal paced) just add +5 to the checks if that is alright with you Pebele. I'm including Darricks +3 as well

 

[Rookseye]

Sepoto is moving within fifteen feet of the trail, left flank, staying as near to trees as possible as he proceeds. I'm also assuming we are moving at full speed.

 

[Pebele]

Ok, I just want to make sure I'm clear on this:

Catherine is the slowest party member, she only moves 20. So, I assume that the group on the trail is moving with Catherine, so they are going 20.

So, Rookseye, EvolutionKB, will you be moving at 20, to keep up with the trail group, or at 30, which is your own base speed?

 

[Rookseye]

Sepoto is moving at his full speed, I envision he and Kaelan as being slightly ahead of the main column, and to either side, almost at a diagonal, with Charles taking point.

Or perhaps, EvolutionKB, we should alternate, with one keeping pace with the main column on their side, and the other slightly ahead in order to easier reach Charles?

 

[Pebele]

Well, alright then. So at any given moment, the 'scouts' are at least a few miles ahead of the others. Got it!

 

[Rookseye]

Since you put it that way, 20' sounds reasonable...clanky armor in the jungle, slowing everyone down.
