[OOC] P2e - Threshold of Knowledge

[PatientBean]

Shoulda stuck with Fleur y'all

[Digizel]

Haha, so it seems xD This chaotic scene of people rushing through a busy street, bumping into craftsmen and stuff and then cut back to the elf in the background who's just stopping by somebody and politely asking for directions and making her way there so serenely. And then you cut back to a race already in progress where no doubt people are getting knocked aside and the like~ And then cut right to the goblin handing coins and a potion to a taxi and is just like "Follow that dwarf plz"

EDIT: Oh yeah I just remembered I should probably put my Acrobatics here too rather than just leaving it in the post to make sure it gets seen more easily: 22

[Digizel]

Oh man, a Nat 20 for a total of 27, I'm not used to being the lucky one xD Iirc in PF2e, a Nat20 escalates the success level by one, so this is probably a critical success no matter what they roll~

So out of curiosity, @wanderingwolf I know taking the Hide action doesn't normally give anything for crit successes, but since they're already together, could he use this roll to help out Thornharp on her own Stealth check and give her some kind of bonus? Or whatever kind of check she uses to try to avoid the guards if Apheline doesn't use it?

When I was looking through the rules on the Archives of Nethys site, I saw the piece on circumstantial bonuses, so I figured I'd ask and give it a shot. But of course, I leave it to you. I'm fine either way~

[wanderingwolf]

@Digizel Rather than use your critical success to Aid, I'll allow you the opportunity to roll a separate Aid action roll with a flat DC of 15 to see if Saur can Aid Thornharp in her own stealth roll! Saur was so ready to hide that he can take the opportunity to try to help one other person to hide as well.

Now it's your turn to describe how Saur would Aid Thornharp to hide, and roll against that DC!

[Cleveraptor]

@wanderingwolf I'm afraid I'm going to have to bow out for personal reasons. That being said, I'm very thankful for the opportunity to try my hand at TTRPG for the first time.

[wanderingwolf]

@Cleveraptor I'm sorry to hear that; we wish you the best and I'm glad you joined us for our race!

@clanjos You're up to swap in, if you're still keen!

@wanderingwolf

Understood~ I'll include this in my post when I make it, but I also want to make sure that Thornharp wouldn't resist before I go through with it completely, and that's totally up to @apheline~ So I'll await her input before I make a post like this. But since the two are together and rushing away, as Saur sees the guards being summoned, he is going to try to take her by the hand and run with her to the side. Using his experience in finding hiding spots, he is going to try to find a spot where they could both lay low; since they're both small in stature, it shouldn't be too difficult I wouldn't think. He is going to find a place where he can break line of sight with all of the guards and then try to pull her into a hiding place so they seem to just kind of disappear. I think the ideal way to do this would be to jump into the stack of hay...but then move through it and emerge on the other side, that spot being too obvious for his liking. He would elect to then proceed down one of the other nearby alleys and hide from view there; that way they might even be able to keep moving after the guards lose sight of them. He rolled a 21 for his Aid.

@Cleveraptor - Oh dang, I was looking forward to Saur and Alwin meeting since they're both rangers of different walks of life, but it is what it is. Hopefully what you've got going on isn't too bad for ya. Good luck friend~

[wanderingwolf]

@Digizel Good thinking to see what Thornharp wants to do. In any case, your aid roll passes the DC 15, and Thornharp would get a +1 to her stealth roll, if she takes one.

@apheline, FYI if you make a Stealth roll, Saur has aided Thornharp and you'll get a +1 circumstantial bonus to the roll, plus Thornharp's modifiers.

@Digizel@PatientBean@rush99999@apheline

While I'm thinking about it, how is everyone feeling about the 2 day pace of story posts? Is this too quick? Would you like to keep 2 days between story posts, or perhaps move to 3 days between?

Any thoughts, feelings, or suggestions are welcome.

[PatientBean]

I am fine with the pacing, but I would not be opposed to extending it to 3 days if that makes it easier for people.

[Digizel]

Only gotten one post in thus far, so I can't really say one way or another. But I've been able to keep up pretty easily thus far myself. So I'm kinda the same right now. I don't NEED it set to three days, but my opinion on that may shift as it progresses. We'll see. xD

[rush99999]

I have no strong feelings one way or the other.

[wanderingwolf]

Sounds like we'll be sticking to 2 days unless @apheline has other feelings. Thanks for the post @patientbean.

I have rolls for:
1. @patientbean
2. @Digizel

I need rolls from:
1. @rush99999
2. @apheline

@wanderingwolf

Oh shit I knew I was forgetting something!

Could I get a Recall Society Knowledge roll to figure out the best way that someone who isn't athletically inclined could quickly clear a blocked latrine canal.

[wanderingwolf]

@rush99999 Yes indeed, do you want to use your Athletics stat for this Recall Knowledge?

Sorry, just re-read that you asked for Society. One moment...

[wanderingwolf]

@rush99999 Jenk succeeds the secret roll:

Jenk remembers reading something in the Nantambu Clarion, a local newspaper, about how these canals have been getting stopped up from time to time. The article was brief, but listed several techniques used by the governing authority to temporarily address the issue. The first was leverage of a wide wooden beam hoisted and suspended above the canal and used to clear the path. This method was expensive and slow, scraping all the way to the bottom of the canal. The second, and most often used, was to dam off the canal, drain it, and clear the blockages this way. The third was used in a pinch... The gases rising from the sewer aqueduct were flammable, and under the right supervision, a simple flint and stone could ignite the refuse at the top, burning off the top most layer and loosening the blockage as a whole.

@wanderingwolf

What must Jenk roll to be the right supervision?

[wanderingwolf]

@rush99999 Since Jenk is under pressure, but it's not too hard to start a fire, go ahead and roll with Jenk's Crafting stat and I'll set a DC.

[wanderingwolf]

Since I put a bit extra into the last post, I'll give a little more time for players to respond. I have tapped one other to swap into our group, but I may have to tap the next one after.

[Vertigo]

Any chance to be added to the wait list? With a Gunslinger, preferably, if a class matters at this point.
