Jorune: general discussion

Sure!

I am really digging that talmaron illustration!

Same, and I missed the post about getting new players.. your plan makes sense to me.

Welcome, welcome, can always use some more bronth in the larder, err, the party.

Welcome to the party :)

So, the new guys are ready to join. Is there more that the party would like to do in Ardoth before I do a break to transition to this next vignette?

We could do it one of two ways:
- we can role-play it out, either PCs paying for mounts and doing other things (if any) before leaving, or finding Jates and getting cash from him as well.

- we can each do a quick description of the next few hours, preparing to leave, and then wrap up this sequence and start with the PCs on the wing.

I'm happy to go either way, especially given that players may want to get skill checks done in their foci. Let me know if you have a preference.

When should we roll those checks for our foci? At the end of a sequence?

Yes, but it is optional. You can save the accumulated rolls, or spend them, but only at the end of a sequence.

So...no preference?

Hearing no responses, I'll choose. I think that I'll wrap up this sequence with a montage, and get the next sequence started so that the new players can join. I'll post this a little later today.

Sounds good to me. I though I'd responded, but must have gotten distracted before I actually posted!

Okay, sorry everyone for the long wait. I'm going to wrap up this second sequence and start the third as you are all on the wing on your talmarons, flying to Kaigon. Those of you who have been playing already - Gythaar, Marik, Miniri and Barragar (currently I'm playing him as an NPC) - can choose to roll for improvement with any rolls they've accumulated through use of their foci. Please do the rolls in the System: Improvement thread.

Everyone should decide what their foci will be for the third sequence now.

As always, let me know if you have any questions.

Could you explain foci? I didn't quite get that part...

A clarifying question, Naat: Do you want to do an information search, or something else?

There IS a strong thriddle presence in Kaigon, and where there are thriddle, there are archives. Information Search is for getting information out of inanimate objects: archives, libraries, journals, etc, and Marik is Experienced at that, so you could do it that way (though if you do, I'd like to know a little bit more about what sort of information you're trying to find). Or you could, if you're just trying to detect something as Miniri has done, change that roll into a LISTEN check. Or, if you're trying to engage someone in conversation and glean some information that way, you could do a SOCIAL check (though again I'd like some idea of the information you're trying to glean).

So, you've rolled a 2. Is that:
- to search through thriddle records for something (Information Search)?
- to remain alert and possibly overhear something (LISTEN)?
- to subtly and sociably grill someone for information (SOCIAL)?
- or something else?

Was going for listen, my apologies! Thanks for the clarification

This is awesome (though totally an accident). I had forgotten Ullis was there. I guess this shows the difference in professionalism between the grizzled veteran and the relatively untrained muadra.

Haha, I did to.

Hmmm... a whole link to get on board? I only have 6 yules, that means I need 4 more, right? Or did Jates give us enough cash to cover this too?

You might have to use some skills (Bargain?) or wiles to get on board, or try to arrange to work for passage, or stowaway, or borrow cash from others...
