Manbearcat
Legend
Level +1(9)/Complexity 1 Skill Challenge (DCs 12/17)
2/4 Successes (0 Hard DC available)/0 Failures/1 Secondary Skill Available/0 Advantages available)
Goal: Stealthily infiltrate, surveil, exfiltrate the cult's hidden sanctuary of Lirr Manor to verify their hidden sanctuary in Easthill and the cult leader's identity (earning the final 1 Success in the macro-SC).
Valak straddles either side of the stack near the bottom of the chimney, using bottom tension and flexion to keep him anchored in place. He can smell the ashes below him from the previous days' fires, but, luckily, today the conditions, while still cool, haven't warranted usage.
Despite the soft music of a lyre constantly strummed, he can vaguely hear the obstructed chorus of whispers (perhaps as many as six different voices and then the lyre player) by the many cultists in the study/ball room. They are both quiet and speaking in an encoded tongue, obscuring conversation via metaphor and arcane allegory.
There is definitely a sense that, at the far end of the room, they are all signing some kind of logbook, the scrawling can be heard rhythmically after encoded language exchanges...something that conveys oath and perhaps portends the when/where/who/what of a ceremony.
What do you do? Lots of possible action declarations at the MEDIUM DC here to move things along.
