Avenger Assembled Posted June 7, 2009 Author Posted June 7, 2009 Both Doctor Archeville and Dark Star notice an unusual field of energy beginning to emanate from Odysseus' armor, a low hum just audible beginning from the magically-enhanced metal.
Dr Archeville Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Some flavor of Knowledge check to see if Doc can tell what kind of field of energy it is?
Avenger Assembled Posted June 7, 2009 Author Posted June 7, 2009 Why, that appears to be someone attempting to open a portal in the Cosmic Coil itself!
Avenger Assembled Posted June 8, 2009 Author Posted June 8, 2009 Haven't forgotten this one. You guys have surprised me, I'm thinking about what to do next. :D
Dr Archeville Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 People with an Int of 30 tend to do surprising things ;)
Avenger Assembled Posted June 9, 2009 Author Posted June 9, 2009 Odysseus has spent an HP on his Ultimate Bluff and so has a Sense Motive DC higher than you fine gentleman can make.
Cyroa Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 LOL DS is naive enough to have just believed the guy straight out from the spiel! "People might/possibly/could be in danger? You want me to follow you to help them. Oh, ok!" It's basically a minor complication that I'm playing for for and eventually will fade away once he gets some sense smacked into him! :)
Avenger Assembled Posted June 9, 2009 Author Posted June 9, 2009 All right, gentlemen, this time I can actually run the plot successfully whichever way you go. But you must go! :D
Avenger Assembled Posted June 10, 2009 Author Posted June 10, 2009 Gentlemen! DC 20 on the check to know the real names of the Crimson Katana and Baron Samedi. Also, I need a Notice check from Dr. Archeville.
Avenger Assembled Posted June 10, 2009 Author Posted June 10, 2009 Oh, I would think History, Streetwise, or Current Events would do the job for you.
Dr Archeville Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 With his Cthulhoid Brain set to Enhanced Int, Doc can get a 20 by taking 10 on any untrained Knowledge check. Assuming things are calm enough for him to Take 10. And Taking 10 on a Notice check -- again, assuming things are calm enough to do so -- also gets a 20.
Avenger Assembled Posted June 11, 2009 Author Posted June 11, 2009 Dr. Archeville knows who those people are. He also hears Medea's voice ringing loud and clear in his head, terror in her voice like he'd never thought to hear from the evil sorceress: "KEEP YOUR FACE STILL! DON'T GO WITH HIM!"
Dr Archeville Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Hrrmmm... Bluff check to keep a poker face up?
Avenger Assembled Posted June 11, 2009 Author Posted June 11, 2009 If you like. Your DC is 20. Odysseus is crafty.
Dr Archeville Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 ... Archeville is not as crafty (7). *HP to re-roll* (2 HPs now) Archeville is craftier (23) ;)
Cyroa Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 DS is clueless... Skills is next on xp spending spree. ;)
Cyroa Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 question: Does DS know anything about Farsiders? from my reading, I thought they were basically 'good' guys just isolationists. and using senses to search/snoop.
Avenger Assembled Posted June 13, 2009 Author Posted June 13, 2009 Dark Star is From the Depths of Space, so he knows a little about the Farsiders automatically. They've had occasional moments of villainy when the wicked Lady Lunar seized power and ruled them as an absolute monarch, but for the most part they're basically a nice if isolationist people. They're the sort of people who would say hello if Dark Star passed by, but wouldn't invite him in for dinner.
Dr Archeville Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 Setting E.S. to Super-Senses 5 (Acute Analytical Radius Tracking Detect Dimensional Frequency). Or something like that. And, no, he doesn't have a "Transdimensional Communication & Transfer System"... but he could probably build one Plus, the readings can be put to other uses ("the sites of all these battles has traces of otherdimensional radiation, of the same frequency as Odysseus' home dimension!")
Cyroa Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 Thanks. Also, I'm assuming I don't hear any of that telepathic conversation going on...
Avenger Assembled Posted June 13, 2009 Author Posted June 13, 2009 You are correct, Dark Star. (Even this Medea isn't very nice, and is inclined to think that obvious non-humans like Dark Star are inferior in one way or another.)
