Supercape Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 GM OOC for this thread. This is largely a request from Tiffany as a semi-origin exploration thread for Revenant. I am not opposed to (and will be happy to allow) one or two people joining (particularly as cameo's) but please ask permission from Tiffany first - its her call. (and unless its a cameo, don't make the PL to different!). Cheers, FC.
Supercape Posted August 24, 2011 Author Posted August 24, 2011 Let me know if you want to party away a bit, or cut to the next morning...
Tiffany Korta Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 I'm more or less patied out. Time for a bit of research I think. To the LIBRARY! :)
Supercape Posted August 24, 2011 Author Posted August 24, 2011 Best you make another IC post then, take it from there. If you are doing some research at Freedom City Public Library next day, Without knowledge [history] or Knowledge [arcane] skills you won't find much specific, but by taking 20 and using your INT, you can certainly find press clippings of a "Nora", some female murderess who ate her victims. Interestingly enough, she appeared to pop up all over the world, and was most active about a century ago.
Tiffany Korta Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Actually as she hasn't made her mind up about Nora I was going to start with the house, find out what I can about the owner. First the library then the streets around the home. Which I hope is something I can do with my skills.
Supercape Posted August 24, 2011 Author Posted August 24, 2011 Ah yes indeed! Knowledge [Civics] Well I presume you are taking 20 on the roll, as you will not be in a rush? Poking around public documents in the library you can get the gist of the owner, Mrs Winona Webb, who owned the house for 60 years. She and her husband bought it, at what seems to be a knockdown price post-war, from a Mr. John Boathouse, a merchant navy officer. THe house itself is about 150 years old, everything legal seems to be in order. Gather Information checks round the street, you can roll for or take 10. As oer p 48 of rule book, depends on what kind of information you are looking for - seems to "specific" to me (anything up about Ms. Webb and the house?) so you could take a 10 and succeed automatically - Ms. Webb was an old dear who kept herself to herself. Nice, but... well, odd. Never went out at night and always kept her lights on - seemed scared of the dark and a bit jumpy.
Tiffany Korta Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 I've assumed like as you said I've taken my time to do all the research, a big advantage of not needing to sleep!
Supercape Posted August 25, 2011 Author Posted August 25, 2011 Could you throw me a diplomacy roll for Lucy? I am not sure if attractive counts or not here. So I am going to just fudge it and say no, but give you a +2 situational bonus instead (or in other words, half your attractive bonus)!. So +10 to diplomacy skill.
Tiffany Korta Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 k, Diplomacy (1d20+10=19) Ooohhh so borderline!
Supercape Posted August 25, 2011 Author Posted August 25, 2011 p46 Rules, he was Indifferent, he is now friendly! (15+ to make friendly, 25+ to make helpful). "Wishes you well: Chat, advise, offer limited help,advocate" Enough to get going!
Tiffany Korta Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 More research right? Same plan as above I'll take my time and spend the day looking up the address et al.
Supercape Posted September 1, 2011 Author Posted September 1, 2011 Sure, what exactly are you looking for?
Tiffany Korta Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Felix Drums old address, property etc. And a Will if possible specially if it mentions Nora. That all under Civics right?
Supercape Posted September 1, 2011 Author Posted September 1, 2011 Civics sounds good. Drum was the previous owner of the Webbs house at number 16 (As mentioned in the Journal) His will left all his earthly belongings to the Freedom City Mortuary. There was quite a legal debate over whether he could, as he was declared insane at the time. But without anywhere else for the money to go, there it went (he had three children by different mothers, and limited contact with them - not relevant). You can also find papers related to his insanity and intermittent admission to "mad houses". Yes, he was ranting about "Nora, the cannibal" and all sorts of "mad delusions of paranoia!"
Supercape Posted September 2, 2011 Author Posted September 2, 2011 Coud you thrown in another diplomacy roll for Steve? He is unfriendly at the moment. You gain +4 from attractive feat
Tiffany Korta Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 Diplomacy (1d20+12=20) I'll try a re-roll (1d20+12=16) Well at leasts he's indiffrent
Supercape Posted September 4, 2011 Author Posted September 4, 2011 Ok thats down to zero hero points. However, the reroll is actually effectively 26 (You rolled a 4, which becomes 14 with hero points reroll, then add +12 = 26). So he is friendly!
Supercape Posted September 5, 2011 Author Posted September 5, 2011 Sense MOtive Roll for Rev please. DC 15 to notice that Steve is, in this building, genuinely scared and uneasy (and untrustworthy!)
Tiffany Korta Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 Sense Motive : (1d20+7=22) Does he have the keys to the room or will I have to force the lock?
Supercape Posted September 5, 2011 Author Posted September 5, 2011 No, lets say its locked and he does not have keys. Brute Force may be required! NB: Or lets say: he says he does not have the keys...the liar!
Supercape Posted September 6, 2011 Author Posted September 6, 2011 Initiative Roll, as Steve attacking ya! Steve is a bit hefty but still only a minion: STR 16, CON 16, Attack +4, Defence +4, and wielding a club. 1d20+0=12 for his initiative.
Tiffany Korta Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Iniative : (1d20+2=5), damn these undead limbs .
Supercape Posted September 6, 2011 Author Posted September 6, 2011 1d20+4=22 Steve Smash! DC 20 Toughness save.
Tiffany Korta Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Toughness save(1d20+11=26) Yay for undead skin :)
Tiffany Korta Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 K, Gonna try for a grapple. The attack (1d20+10=19), for the grapple (1d20+17=25) I want him conscious and hopefully talkative… I wanna hold him above me look all bad ass and hopefully get him to talk. As it's all bluster (and I still have no Intimidate ) I'd like to do it as a Bluff. (Oh I missed Super-Strength off my Grapple and my last rank of protection on my Toughness on my updated sheet. Must try harder )
