(OOC) The Primeval Dark

[Ancient]

Indeed, going to take a bit to wrap my head around that info dump...and...where am I? I was me about to get crushed while arguing with a shadow, then I was a girl in a snowbank, then I was me in a snowbank...am I in this world outside, or in another world outside or in my head, do I know? Am I know this time or another? Do I care? I'm going mad, mad, mad!

Yup. All that. At this point there's nothing really distinguishing what 'real' even is for you while strapped into this maddening roller-coaster ride. From what little you've observed during your latest displacement, you are in your own body in some location which appears to be outside.

[Mornings]

I updated the spoilers in group 2 to reflect the experience and such you gained. Since we skipped through it, not much else gained besides that. Working on finishing Faux's updated currently.

[Mornings]

Updated Faux. Next is Stella then Group 1.

[Mornings]

Alrighty, sorta had to rush through this one, but Stella's is finished. Group 1 is next.

Haha, group 1 is still in the running. I'll have the update out later this week.

[Mornings]

I was working on group 1 but couldn't finish due to some family things that came up. I'll try to get the update out tomorrow.

[Chromascope3D]

Heckin'. Time to find out what's behind door #1. :D

[Mornings]

Kazik Shattering: (1d8)[4]

[Mornings]

OKAY~
Posted group 1 update.

For clarity sake, and simplicity since everyone is in-line with the door, sorta, they're not all totally out of the loop from Kazik's discovery. Walt is able to catch part of the exchange, but not any from after the mysterious knight leaves the room. Erik is able to see directly inside and can watch the exchange with Kazik.

[Stevesciguy]

Oh good. We've got something strong enough to have a name after us. Nice knowing you all

What kind of roll would I need to see if that name rings a bell?

Knowledge history and arcana would suffice

[Stevesciguy]

Knowledge(Arcana)(max 10): (1d20+2)[14]
Knowledge(History)(max 10): (1d20+2)[18]

Alright, first order of business if we live long enough to level up is putting some points into some knowledge skills. Erik doesn't seem particularly well-read for someone with 15 Int

[Chromascope3D]

Same. Sentinel only gets K: Nobility as a class skill.

Climb Checks
DC 10 (1d20+14)[25]. STR check (1d20+4)[21] | (1d20+4)[5]
DC 13 (1d20+14)[32]. STR check (1d20+4)[24] | (1d20+4)[8]
DC 16 (1d20+14)[34]. STR check (1d20+4)[6] | (1d20+4)[18]
DC 19 (1d20+14)[24]. STR check (1d20+4)[6] | (1d20+4)[5]
DC 22 (1d20+14)[18]. STR check (1d20+4)[11] | (1d20+4)[21]

EDIT: Wait, Climbing I lets me roll twice for the climb checks as well as the STR checks, right?

[Mornings]

Same. Sentinel only gets K: Nobility as a class skill.

DC 22 [roll12]. STR check [roll13] | [roll14]

EDIT: Wait, Climbing I lets me roll twice for the climb checks as well as the STR checks, right?

Yup.

[Stevesciguy]

Climb Checks:
DC 10: (1d20+8)[13]
DC 13: (1d20+8)[11] fail, no fall
DC 16: (1d20+8)[20]

Extra Effort:
DC 10: (1d20+8)[19]
DC 13: (1d20+8)[23]
DC 16: (1d20+8)[22]

Reflex Save if necessary: (1d20+9)[16]

Erik's speech might read a bit weird until I get back into him properly

[Mornings]

Looks like g1 is rolling forward. If everyone posts up then ill just get their update out rather than going in order.

[Chromascope3D]

Oh! Sorry, yeah, didn't have time to get it in before work today. I'll try and have it up before this time tomorrow

[Chromascope3D]

Sweet. Gonna add a second roll for that DC 22 then and make another at DC 25

DC 22 *(1d20+14)[18] | (1d20+14)[28]
DC 25 (1d20+14)[18] | (1d20+14)[17], STR DC 10 (1d20+4)[8] | (1d20+4)[20]

EDIT: Nerts

[Chromascope3D]

I think I'm right next to the next doorway at this point so that counts as a fixture to grab onto, right?

25 - 18 + 10 = DC 17 Reflex

(1d20+9)[13] | (1d20+9)[13]

EDIT: Excuse me

EDIT 2: What does "in line with a PC to catch falling creatures" mean? Do they need to be directly below you or just within reach?

[Chromascope3D]

Spoiler: 5 Out of 6 Dice Rolls Agree

Show

Attempting it again passing by Walt

Reflex DC 17 (1d20+9)[17] | (1d20+9)[23]

Well, that's a net 5 feet of upwards progress. Really putting this potential to good work already.

[Chromascope3D]

Is top still among us?

[Mornings]

Is top still among us?

Errr.... apparently he hasn't logged in over the last 11 days. If he logs in sometime tomorrow then I'll wait, otherwise we'll have to press forward.

[Stevesciguy]

I'm not even worried about class skills, just getting that 'trained' status so I can roll higher than a 10 not to mention that it's a bit off-character for the veteran mercenary of the Long Night to know so little about everything

To be fair, most people don't know much about everything. Anyone that's survived survived a trip into tainted land is a 'veteran', but delves are often as bewildering and disorienting as Willowbrook. Most mercs pick up tricks with how to survive and how to escape, while others find records or codices which teach them unique things like how to fight certain enemies or cure certain curses. The range of skill, methodology and experience between veteran mercs varies so wildly there's no real baseline of comparison between them individually. It's largely luck and idiocy, the smart ones that survive usually wouldn't roll the dice a second time.

I think Erik's take on that would be "you can't fix it if you don't learn about it"

I'm mostly just aimlessly rambling. After having a break from him for a while, I'm just noticing all these little errors in how I've built him that add up to make him feel less cohesive than he originally seemed to be

hrnnnng myth-weavers why

Mythweavers down now?

[Stevesciguy]

Mythweavers down now?

Yeah, it's been acting real weird lately. I got a 502 every time I tried to visit it for a while, then had a period of time where the forums were broken but the sheets still worked, and now if I try to use it, it just gets stuck loading until it times out.
