[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 5593451, member: 16069"] Cinara looks hard at Grim, he has changed somewhat from Thorgrim the Dwarf she knew, albeit briefly, as to the changes then... Cinara suspects that Grim is as he states Thorgrim, only some new aspect, charged with a task to complete... Alas Cinara cannot fathom the puzzle with certainty- this much she knows, Thor/Grim is back... [GM]Sorry if that's a muddle but your Religion 12 is not helping things.[/GM] Cinara moves over to inspect the ragged Dwarf, the dead one, notices for the first time that the Dwarf has a number of 'Honour Raings' hidden away in its matted beard- the creature is covered in filth. 'Honour Rings' are rewarded in civilised Dwarven societys for acts of bravery, they are usually awarded to martial Dwarves that have proven themselves in battle. Now Cinara looks she sees that both of the ragged Dwarves have a fair collection of Honour Rings, the rings are of course valuable- most are made of base metals but edged, etched or chased in silver or gold. There are ten of the rings between the two Dwarves, each with a value of 15gp, however value aside this new information leads Cinara to think again- these were once stout Dwarven guards, Tannheim- most likely, they fought well and defended their kin. They were once honourable Dwarves, and now... now they are nothing more than babbling wrecks. Something terrible happened here, something befell the Tannheim... Which leads Cinara to consider the following questions- What happened here? How did whatever it was leave the Tannheim corrupted? How many more of them are there in the hold? [GM]The above are the results of your Perception, Insight and Dungeoneering checks. Funnily enough the skill I wanted you to use, and thought I was hinting at... you didn't attempt. And no, I'm not going to tell you what it is, but it is a skill that two of you are trained in...[/GM] Just an update now Healing Surges have been spent- [sblock=Combat] Encounter Turn: Initiative (* = Next to play) Len Kazzagin Krogan Mardred Cinara HP & Conditions PCs Cinara 29/26 Surges 10/8 Kazzagin 31/31 Surges 13/10 Krogan 34/34 Surges 10/6 Len 29/29 Surges 11/6 Mardred 25/25 Surges 7/7 Monsters Actions To Date Turn #1 [/sblock] [GM]Oh, and I need a seperate Perception check from each of you... I'm not going to tell you what for. Lastly I will be happy to finish off this section, and get back to the adventure once I have had your perception checks (even Grim, and this is a new/different check Cinara). Although feel free to continue your investigations as regards Grim and the ragged Dwarves, clearly there is more you can discover.[/GM] [/QUOTE]
