@Digizel Apologies for fat fingering that! I'll get a reply up tomorrow morning.

@Digizel Give me his nature modifier and I'll roll a recall knowledge for Saur.

P2e - Threshold of Knowledge - [Ended]

Battle:

Just to reiterate:
Small, skittish insects swarm around a pool of violet ichor spilling out of a cracked bowl on the desk. Another, larger group of insects, each the size of a child’s palm, descend from the walls and ceiling. They land throughout the office and begin to aggressively hiss and snap!

Initiative Order:
Saur: 28
Flash4: 20
Flash3: 16
Flash2: 13
Jenk: 11
Fleur: 7
Starfinger: 7
Flash1: 7
Ele: 6

@Digizel is up! We have 3 strong beetle initiatives on deck, then @rush99999!

@Digizel@Vertigo Initiative in P2e is interesting in contrast to DND for that reason! As you say, if Saur was sneaking before an encounter, he could use his Stealth modifier rather than Perception. Normally, Perception is the go-to for initiative, but cases can be made for other modifiers as well! It puts a bit of flavor on rolling initiative so that players can have some added control and flair over how the enter the fray.

Thanks everyone for rolling up! I'll get a post up tomorrow for the beginning of battle!

Also, Vertigo don't worry: you can't critically fail an initiative roll :D. We'll take your modifier on top.

That's a good clarification for everyone though! I'm not going to chase you to make sure you added your modifiers for things. That's up to you! Make sure you're getting those bonuses!

@clanjos@Digizel Waiting on you two!

Scene:

As Saur, Fleur, Starfinger, Elaeshor, and Jenk made their way at a brisk pace back to the Magaambya, they made a brief pit stop to the sight of Saur's acrobatics display amid the bustling trade corridor which lead to Alandri's. The baker was no longer collecting his goods, in the hours that had passed, and the guards were no longer interested in any retribution. Guardsman stood lazily leaning against walls, and the baker was situated glumly behind his stall, selling what goods were untainted by his mishap this morning.

Saur delivered his apologies and recompense in the form of the fresh fish he had caught, bucket and all. The baker, having had some time to cool down, accepted Saur's apology, offered the kobold a soiled flatbread, (he couldn't sell it anyway) and the group were on their way to Teacher Ot's office.

The top floor of the Heron Archives is dimly lit with lanterns of blue glass, but a sliver of amber light escapes Teacher Ot’s room, reflecting off of the stone through the network of hallways. The door is slightly ajar, and beneath it, a puddle of water trickles into the hallway. The tapping of dripping water emanates from within the room in a dissonant rhythm. With each tap, the expanding pool of water reddens
with a thickening cloud of blood. Inside, Teacher Ot’s office is in total disarray. Chairs have been overturned; books, scrolls, and writing implements have been knocked off a cracked walnut desk; and tiny bits of paper float in the puddles along the floor. The glass skylight overhead has been shattered; its jagged fragments litter the damp floor, glittering in the afternoon sunlight. A large glass display case along the left wall has also been smashed open—its contents are nowhere to be seen. Small, skittish insects swarm around a pool of violet ichor spilling out of a cracked bowl on the desk. Another, larger group of insects, each the size of a child’s palm, descend from the walls and ceiling. They land throughout the office and begin to aggressively hiss and snap!

Storyteller's Aside

@vertigo@Digizel@rush99999 @clanjos @patientbean

We're going to get started with our first combat! Let's keep things organized.

* I'll post an image of the battle map. Please let me know if your character would be somewhere else in the line up.
* We'll roll initiative.
* Everyone gets their three actions each turn, however, if you want to wait for a response for your first or second action, please make it very obvious that you need me before you can finish your turn.
* I'll try to get a response up ASAP. We don't want rounds to take forever, and I'm sure in this format they could drag on.

If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know!

Roll initiative!

I'll get a post up to move us to Teacher Ot soon!

Thanks for checking in. It has been quite a while of us cooling our heels.

For the sake of the story, would the group like to pick up at Teach Ot's and have an aside that Saur found the baker to make aments? @Digizel @patientbean

@clanjos@Vertigo@rush99999, it looks like real life is taking its toll. Do you have any preferences for the question above?

Alright @Gunther@Bugman@Xandrya, check the Google Chat for a link to a crew-wide JP. We'll get an intro paragraph written up then we can jump in.

Hey gang, checking in as it's been a few days. Do you all want to play out going with Saur to the baker? Would you rather all meet up at Teacher Ot's office?
