[QUOTE="Manbearcat, post: 6270729, member: 6696971"] That looks great. You can flesh out the other elements of backstory later. We have enough material to begin play at this point. You've put your cornerstones at tension with one another. That is excellent. The scene bangs (openers) are perfect. Once we have more to go on, we will devise Minor and Major Quests for you. For now, let us begin Your Passive Insight (18) is sufficient to pass the Medium DC (15). You can discern that the cadence of the chanting is undoubtedly ceremonial in its delivery. All of the voices are in lockstep. The language is unfamiliar to you. Although, the voices are distinctly human, there is a level of disturbing detachment to it. Your Passive Perception of (24) is sufficient to pass the Hard DC (23). The soaked, but warm, tufts of your bears fur press against you. You only now realize he is here as well and it is a comfort. His sense of smell is the keenest of all the animals you have been around (passive perception 26). He sticks his nose to the air and he rears onto his hindlegs momentarily; a telltale sign that all of the natural smells inherent to acts of aggression and fear in the animal kingdom are afoot. The distant orange glow is clearly a controlled fire, and not a small one. The screams are multiple. They are male and female. And they are younglings. You don't know where you are. Your head is a thick fog but your senses are locked in. What is your intent here? Are you wishing to perform stealthy recon on what is happening at the fire? Something else? [B]On Format[/B] If you would, please [I]sblock [/I]all mechanics under a "mechanics" header and [I]quoteblock [/I]your relevant narration of events. Any exchanges between you and I for clarification of rules, scene/situation/setting material, or of intent of action, we can just use standard text. [/QUOTE]
