Mate, dont think about it in terms of skills. You could advance and investigate the scene for example. That's a skill you do have.
All im asking for is you to tell me what your PC is doing. I'll then call for a skill check if required. You narrate your PCs actions, I'll ask for skill checks if necessary.
Im only mentioning this because yourself and the Fighter are non participants out of combat largely (you guys largely keep quiet when combat isnt happening); I ordinarily wouldnt care, but that is kind of the purpose of the experiment remember.
This goes for the Fighter as well, who not only has barely interacted with any NPCs so far, he also hasnt really told me what his PC is doing other than 'shoot the bad guy.'
Again, this isnt a criticism. It's just me trying to nudge you two into interacting with the environment and so forth a bit more.
Cool!
Bartholomew's opinion here is that this is a curiosity that should not be interacted with if possible. Approaching to investigate is likely to draw unwanted attention to us which is a distraction from our goal. That's why I tried to gauge the scene at a distance.
Since the Sorcerer has already gotten closer, there isn't that much reason for us to hang back at this point. So, if anyone else wants to move closer to investigate, I'll follow their lead. Though, again, not sure that this is relevant to our goal!
