Message: <blockquote data-quote="darkbard" data-source="post: 8936789" data-attributes="member: 1282">CHANVATI discerns the architecture around them: rowhouses, tiled rooves, most everything in good repair. They are still in Middle City, clearly. Maybe Thousand Pagodas? Or Burning Row? Could they have gone so far?Regardless, this part of the city was razed and rebuilt with more modern amenities long ago. Including an elaborate drainage system, unlike the wretched environs of Low City. That's it! Chanvati thinks back to that course on Urban Architecture and Planning at Xerxes's, largely a soporific discourse on aesthetics and the eternal battles between architects and city planners over the years. But he had always been fascinated by how the excavators who rebuilt Burning Row had uncovered the Crypt of Elders beneath Golden Pagoda and how they had to jog subterranean tunnel lines around that ancient place, noteworthy, really, only to scholars and antiquarians. Yet the work tunnels persisted, if largely ignored except by the very occasionally unfortunate crew sent out to maintain and repair such places. Surely the agents of the Imperial Guard and its network of spies wouldn't even be aware of such a place, largely lost to history. So if they can access the undercuts somewhere in the vicinity of the Golden Pagoda, surely he could recall enough from those ancient schematics to guide them to a place of refuge--at least respite to escape the immediate pursuit and chart a new course of action.He floods his neural pathways with psionic energy to sharpen his recall.[HR][/HR]I'm using an Advantage here to wager for 2 Successes (Hard & Medium) vs this Hard DC should I succeed.Chanvati is making a Secondary Skill Streetwise check to identify salient features of the urban environment: r(10) + 3 = 13 vs 10 Easy DC as +2 bonus toPrimary Skill History check (using augmented Adept's Insight), to recall a historical place to utilize as a safe haven: r(6) +10 +2 +r(3)+1 = 22 vs 22 Hard DC. Juuuuust makes it! Success (x2).[HR][/HR]As the Reward for the previously completed SC, Chanvati chooses a Four-Sided Caltrop (L3 Consumable).</blockquote>
