@VKAllen

Someone's failed a perception check.

Aye.

I just gave him a natural 1.

Apparently, Crow Eater rolled a nat 20 for stealth.

Arius wouldn't have paid a dragonborn walking into a bar any particular notice and Crow Eater wasn't getting involved in the issue with the man at the door. I wasn't ignoring your post, Arius just has no reason to interact with Crow Eater... yet.

Went ahead and edited my post slightly to clarify this.

I may not be on for the next couple of days. I had an unexpected death in the family this morning. I might pop on for a bit here and there so I will attempt to keep things moving as much as I can. In advance I would like to say thank you for your understanding during a difficult time for my family and I.

@The Mighty Hero Sorry for your loss. For everyone else, a post for myself and Grey should be up soon.

My Condolences.

Mine too.

Sorry to hear it. Wish I had checked here before responding to the IC. If it would work well for you, I could assume we could find a quiet room and move us on towards introductions. Hopefully that would keep us busy for long enough to not require too much DM input for a week or so?

Just for reference, Kethan is speaking only to Tessa so far as they make their plans. He's not being loud at all.
So maybe Tessa might be named, but you'd have to be listening to the Cleric over the booming voices of the others since he's just speaking to one person, not the entire tavern.

Edit: Although technically I could have had Kethan use that Cleric's cantrip and make his Voice Mysteriously Boom, the Ground Tremble, and the Doors and Windows suddenly slam shut.

Which of course is the plan should a Spy attempt to go running to the mayor actually magically slam the door on the fleeing informant and them proceed to interrogate him. Making a joke that if you won't confess, then he'll just have to let the others in their newly formed party hurt you until he's out of healing for the day. Then they can kill him, and when that's done, he will see if your spirit is more talkative, and if that's not enough incentive to talk, Tessa could always use another mindless zombie to serve her biddng.

Morally Neutral Clerics are fun :D!

@The Grey Dust I will check and see if I need to edit. I would expect that my PC would be listening in after someone declared their intention to assist, but if it seemed quiet, she wouldn't intentionally oust them.

EDIT: I checked - Tessa addressed the entire room (which likely helped get the place to quiet down slightly), and Kethan's next words were Tessa's name, and it wasn't stated that it was hushed. I feel like most would have heard her name. If you intended otherwise, I can make an edit as needed. I certainly don't want to be on anyone's bad side~

@JBRam2002

It's fine, although it was to be an aside to Tessa after she made her address. Which is why I'd say she sat back down since he's not very loud. I mean it's not like the whole bar suddenly stopped all noises just to hear people talking across the bar, so I figured if you're not within two feet of an old Cleric you might not hear him very well.

Edited her name out, then. I assume my PC heard it anyways since she was paying attention to them unless the DM wishes me to make a Perception check.

Right, I don't like the silence. What's going on? Are we awaiting @The Mighty Hero to return from the passing of his family member?

@VKAllen I'm pretty sure that's the case, although others could act IC in the meantime as well.

@VKAllen
You posted an action that cannot be resolved and thus responded to by anyone without DM input. Whether your rogue gets caught and presumably immediately attacked by the warrior for trying to pick his pockets (that's generally what happens when a stranger catches you trying to lift their wallet/purse/etc... you get clobbered), or succeeds and just reveals to everyone he's a rogue but not actually trying to steal from the warrior is a pretty big fork in the road narrative-wise.

You mean to say we might get a... Bar Fight?
Although 26 is a high number to beat. Even with Kethan's passive perception of 23.

I would suggest that unless anyone has a passive perception of 26 or higher, none of us likely saw it. We should be able to carry on without acknowledging the pickpocket since we wouldn't know of its existence.

@JBRam2002
We all will absolutely notice it as is, at least after the result, if the warrior makes his opposed check, very likely a fight will break out. If he fails the check, per VKAllen's post the rogue is revealing to everyone that he pickpocketed something.

Mind you, I totally agree that in all likelihood the warrior will fail the opposed roll. But I don't KNOW they will.

Gentlemen there's an simple solution to all this...

DM elects to roll a natural 20.

I apologize for the delay. It was my daughter who passed away so while I have been online checking on things I have not been in much of a mood to RP. I will see if I can get something up tonight.
