Supercape Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 OOC for this thread. (Meaning the snake in the grass in latin!) Etain and Quentin engage in some Da Vinci Code Investigation!
Aoiroo Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 You do know she didn't say the first part out loud, she just thinks in Latin.
Supercape Posted November 4, 2010 Author Posted November 4, 2010 Aha! Me bad. Have edited accordingly! :o
Aoiroo Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 So what will Etain find out if she looks around at what's displayed.
Supercape Posted November 4, 2010 Author Posted November 4, 2010 If she is studying the texts on display, Knowledge lore: Arcane! DC 20: A little - hints of witchcraft etc in Freedom City. Real stuff, not hocus pocus. DC 30: A lot - Genuine witchcraft occured, the vatican got involved, and references to some pacts between demons and priests. Details up to you.
Aoiroo Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 No DC 25 which has an inbetween? Thirties hard to swing, though taking ten will probably make her suspicious enough to look at the archives regardless. So, I'll take ten, ten plus arcane lore modifiers for Etain (+10).
Supercape Posted November 4, 2010 Author Posted November 4, 2010 DC 25 you can ad lib something in between at your leisure. Its not materially important, so go ahead!
Aoiroo Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Etain turned them invisible, it's level ten concealment so there is no trace of there presence including any sounds them make unless they touch someone. The area of the illusion is just herself and him, and the illusion hasn't been cast on him, so he can hear and see themselves normally, no one else should be able too.
Aoiroo Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 Alright, Etain is looking for clues and hints, Notice check?
Aoiroo Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 10, : P is Quentin going to search with her, I'm guessing she could do another knowledge check reading the books.
Supercape Posted November 6, 2010 Author Posted November 6, 2010 Quentin 1d20+3=13 But, taking 20 which will take longer, a couple of arbitary hours, will certainly turn up something. A reference to the Latet Anguis in Herba, a pact made with Una (from FC sourcebook) by some unscrupulous INquisition agents, to help track down some witches living in FC 4-5 centuries ago.
Aoiroo Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 Right, time to cheat, how about a book that has been touched by magic recently. Etain can spot that out of the piles of books like spotting a flamingo in a flock of swans.
Supercape Posted November 6, 2010 Author Posted November 6, 2010 Recently....noooooo..... But that won't matter. Its enough to home in like a signal beacon with even a faint trace. Post as above, its not going to be a roaring tome of Necronomicon standards, but other than that the artistic licence is yours. In essence, it will give "proof" historical that the Inquisition made some deal with Latet Anguis in Herba, Una, for her help in tracking down witches in the New World. The Inquisition clearly felt they had the legal expertise to make sure Una never took advantage of this deal.
Aoiroo Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 I was thinking she found a paper with a powerful spell that tracks and lists the true names of magic users in the area.
Supercape Posted November 6, 2010 Author Posted November 6, 2010 I was thinking she found a paper with a powerful spell that tracks and lists the true names of magic users in the area. Good stuff!
Aoiroo Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 So, Quentin is visible now but Etain is not, and the next conversation will have several suggestions on Etains part.
Aoiroo Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 No language bonus's to help out this, but sense motive check, 21, so what can Etain tell from the body language and general tone of the conversation.
Supercape Posted November 6, 2010 Author Posted November 6, 2010 Good stuff! Learn some Italian!!! ;)
Aoiroo Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 Umm what? That doesn't answer the question. She can obviously tell what the discussion is about from the tone, or at least some hints and if the monks have done anything vaguely magical she'll know about it.
Supercape Posted November 6, 2010 Author Posted November 6, 2010 Sorry was being silly and combined it with bad communication! From the sense motive you can tell that Rozello is scared and trying to bluff, and the two hooded monks are very intimidating.
Aoiroo Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 Taking ten on Etain attacking, which is twenty, which would hit a cultist, 25DC will save.
Aoiroo Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 Intimidate roll, 8, yeah, anyway, Quentin should still be invisible, the cultists are greatly within Etain's range of illusion which to be far, should be fairly far because she has progression with each round and she has been using illusions quite a bit even if it's just to use concealment. They should, be afraid, very afraid. Quentin can see the cutlass, which isn't real, but if she cuts them with it, they will bleed and feel very very real pain.
