P2e - Threshold of Knowledge

I'll get an update out soon!

P2e - Threshold of Knowledge

@clanjos Sorry for the late reply. Do you want to Recall Knowledge? I can roll your Tripkee lore to see if Starfinger remembers anything about fishing that might help here.

Or you can roll a Crafting check, or both!

Let me know. If you do want that Recall Knowledge I'll give you the info here.

@Vertigo Sure, Tanraeth can see that there are some other people around the river. If he wants to approach them and engage with them, feel free!

Also, it's no trouble to rename your character. Just let me know what you'd like to change it to!

@Digizel I love where your head is with this.

1. Yes, Saur can Hunt Prey (he's a hunter after all!). That will give Saur a +2 to his Survival check.
2. For Saur's Foraging feat, sure you're not Subsisting, but story-wise there is not a difference in my mind between Saur fishing for himself/the group and Saur fishing to fulfill a task. You can use Forager for this. (This will be in effect off his Stealth roll below)

"While using Survival to Subsist, if you roll any result worse than a success, you get a success. On a success, you can provide subsistence living for yourself and four additional creatures, and on a critical success, you can take care of twice as many additional creatures. You can choose to support half the number of creatures with a comfortable living."

2. Is Saur Trained or an Expert in Survival? Forager lists a larger haul for Expert.
3. Roll Survival to find the fish that are particularly valuable to Alandri. (You get a +2 circumstance bonus to this roll for Hunt Prey), a success can give you a +1 (success) or +2 (crit) bonus to your Stealth check to capture the fish.
4. Roll Stealth to see if Saur can stand perfectly still to let the fish swim toward him, in the perfect location. (Success will catch 1 fish normally, 2 for a Forager. Crit would catch 2 fish, 4 for a Forager.) <- If Saur is an expert, double the Forager success amount.

UPDATE:
Here's the DC for your Survival roll so you can write a post around it's success (for your Stealth).
DC: 8

Firefly - Second 'Verse

@Gunther Love that walk through of Serenity! Very cool project. Can't wait to see it after they do the full detail modeling as well!

P2e - Threshold of Knowledge

Scene:

As Saur, Tanraeth, Jenk, Fleur, and Starfinger finish their breakfasts, (coffee, scrambled eggs and roe, fish fillet on craggy hot cakes and the like) Jenk was the only one of their party to heed Alandri's advice and eat the scale with the meal. With breakfast hastily finished, Alandri explains her method of fishing in the Vanji river nearby. Some of the more challenging quarry she hopes to catch swim through the river early in the morning, and she needs the prospective student’s help to acquire them before noon. After going over safety measures and instructions, she leads the group to the river bank to seize her catch for the day. Under her arm, the fisherwoman has brought supplies to make nets or other contraptions, and she lays them out along the bank, should someone choose to utilize the resources.

Fleur, seeing the manual labor ahead of them, reconsiders on her desire to stoop this low for the sake of learning and bids her adeiu to the group, to Alandri's disheartened surprise. With a wave the elf retraces her steps across the foot bridge that lead the group to Alandri's shack, and she disappears into the throng of the city.

Alandri and Jenk, having eaten their bubbling scales, undergo a transformation in the morning beams of sunlight. The goblin's body becomes covered in deeply blue, pearlescent scales, in fact, even the air tastes more pronounced. As the same happens to Alandri, she reminds the group that the scales allow for them to hold their breath longer under water. Alandri draws her hair back into a tight bun as she gets ready to dive into the Vanji river.

End Scene

Storyteller's Aside

Alright everyone, have a think and consider how your character will catch a fish(s). You can choose any skill you'd like to try, and roll it for me in your next post. Alandri will be available for questioning, should anyone need clarification, but she will be busy diving into the river herself before long.

Good luck!

Hey all!

I've got a few days off to travel and celebrate an anniversary, so I'll get a story post up tomorrow morning to corral everyone into the next scene, then I'll give another story update next week.

P2e - Threshold of Knowledge

@Vertigo Tanraeth recalls the following regarding the scale:

Tanraeth knows the object is as a 'bubbling scale' and this dark, iridescent scale is about the size of a small coin. He recalls that when one swallows the scale, one immediately begins to grow a patch of scales that cover the majority of one's body. For one hour he remembers, the imbiber will be able to hold their breaths for an extended period of time. After this time, the scales wither and fall off one's body.

Alandri:

Alandri considers Saur's words, "It's possible," she scratches the back of her neck as her eyes wander, "Until now, he's showed up immediately when the bracelet called. There could be an explanation, but this is the first he hasn't shown."

Alandri holds up a glittering scale to Saur and the others before popping it into her mouth and chasing it with a forkful of scrambled eggs with roe.

Sounds good @Vertigo!
