Q'Barra: Facing Truth

[EvolutionKB]

[sblock=ooc, Pebele] So is the roof able to support me, or do I come back inside? Was the roof ten feet high? If that is the case I will make a jump check to reach the roof, then I'll take 10 on a climb check to pull myself up. I need a 16 jump check to reach the roof(2 ft vertical jump because of 8ft vertical reach). Without moving I fail on first three attemptsJump: 17; three previous failures. Keep in mind I am doing this out of sight of the watchers. Of course this is void if I can determine that the roof won't hold me(which is pretty likely, w/equipment I'm about 210lbs).[/sblock]

Charles executes his plan to talk to the figure. He likely sneaks passed another house to appear behind the figure and slowly walks towards him, but not in a silent or threatening manner. He makes himself appear preoccupied staring at the stars above.

(Do I need to make new rolls? If not, then...)

Nice night, ain't it? I arrived here and wow, I must say I am impressed with the view.

[sblock]Sorry for forgetting to answer you. I was a bit tired last night.

It seems unlikely that the roof will support your weight, it is obviously a temporary roof mostly to keep the elements out.[/sblock]

Okay I edited my post in response.

The figure looks over to Charles, makes a non-committal grunt, and goes back to watching Kassel's house.

~*~*~*~*~*~

When Kaelan enters the house, John Kassel looks to him. "Where's the other one? The one who followed you outside?

Some of the townsfolk disagree with me for trying to stop The Children of Winter. But I won't have you people hurting my citizens!"

"The Children of Winter? Hmm...

Charles rolls his eyes in annoyance. Well, I guess I'll have to chase this aggressively. He clears his throat and continues. Uh, hmm, I guess it's rude of me to speak without introducing myself. My name is Charles... you? He extends his hand for a handshake.

"Where's the other one? The one who followed you outside?

"Probably still out there, I didn't see him. Children of Winter? Are these the ones that are threatening you and the people here? Does anybody know anything about them?"Knowledge Nature and history: 5 and 19

(I thought the various major druidic sects were common knowledge...if not, I'll edit this post...clearly, Knowledge skill might reveal things that were -not- common knowledge )

"The Children of Winter," Trebuchet recites, "I have heard the name in reference to a radical druidic sect. Unfortunately, I have not found time to follow up. I don't know more than that."

 

[Pebele]

(Shayuri: I don't think that the Children of Winter are really a large enough sect to be common knowledge. It is possible that Trebuchet could have heard them mentioned in passing, but only in as much as being a radical druidic sect.)

Kaelan searches his memory and recalls that small settlements in the Eldeen Reaches and in Aundair have had problems with the Children of Winter. He remembers that they seem to be some sort of radical and terroristic group with delusions about the end of life as it is known.

Catherine also searches her memory, and recalls the Children of Winter taking up a fair portion of her recent religion classes. They are a small, but powerful apocalyptic sect that worships death and decay. They have an affinity for vermin and disease, and they believe that a series of terrible disasters will usher in a new Golden Age.

She also remembers that they are strongest in the Eldeen Reaches and in Aundair, but have not yet been encountered in Q'Barra.

As Charles introduces himself, the figure turns from Kassel's house and looks directly at him. The figure appears to be male, though his face is obscured by a dark cloak. "Viktor Rozchenko. I am busy, I do not wish to speak with you."
