Sorry for any mistakes I make in the next couple of days, my internet broke and I'm posting from my phone.

[Zero Prime]

Ouch! Phone posting sucks man! Hopefully you can get it all sorted in short order!

Might I make a knowledge arcana roll to have heard of the Whispering Way? I'll go ahead and roll it just in case: (1d20+6)[24]

[PhyrexianShovel]

Wow, nice! With that roll, you've studied the Whispering Way extensively, and you perhaps even knew someone involved in the cult.
The Whispering Way is a sinister organization of necromancers that has been active in the Inner Sea region for thousands of years. Agents of the Whispering Way often seek alliances with undead creatures, or are themselves undead. The Whispering Way’s most notorious member was Tar-Baphon, the Whispering Tyrant, although the society itself has existed much longer than even that mighty necromancer.
The Whispering Way itself is a series of philosophies that can only be transferred via whispers— the philosophies are never written or spoken of loudly, making the exact goals and nature of the secretive philosophy difficult for outsiders to learn much about.
Exact details on the society are difficult to discern, but chief among the Whispering Way’s goals are discovering formulae for creating liches and engineering the release of the Whispering Tyrant. Agents often travel to remote sites or areas plagued by notorious haunts or undead menaces to perform field research or even to capture unique monsters. Their symbol is a gagged skull, and those who learn too many of the Way’s secrets are often murdered, and their mouths mutilated to prevent their bodies from divulging secrets via speak with dead.

I'm out right now, but I'll get an IC post up soon as I get home. As an FYI, I'll be glad to discuss our course of action, but the Barbarian won't be contributing much to academic investigation or library research.

[BramsesII]

I'll get a post up tonight at some point. Today was not nearly as hectic as yesterday so I should be fine to put up a longer post.

[PhyrexianShovel]

Oh, whoops! forgot to mention in my previous post that you all get 150 XP each for Kara knowing that.

[Zero Prime]

Hey, Pherexian, is it cool if you just tell us when we level up, or do you want us to keep a running tally?

[BramsesII]

Could I do a linguistics check to see if I can figure out what the titles of the books in the unknown language are? Or, failing that, at least figure out what language they're in?

Spoiler: Linguistics

Sure!

One of them is in Infernal; it's title is The Umbral Leaves - University Edition. The second is more difficult, but you notice looking very closely that underneath the title, in common, Serving Your Hunger - translation and annotation by Petros Lorrimor is written.

Edit: If no one wants to respond to Luna by around afternoon tomorrow (for me), I'll probably use it as a segway to you all getting lodging for tonight to keep things moving. If you want to post and just didn't get the chance yet, tell me so I don't do that.

[Syless]

I couldn't come up with anything meaningful to say IC so I could add to the conversation about how yeah, splitting up for investigative stuff would be nice since I can't keep up with everyone else's conversations IC.

[Zero Prime]

Beefy barbarian is heading to the church as well. I am fine with advancing the scene to the church itself ... or talk on the way there, whichever.

[PhyrexianShovel]

Don't have time for a full post today, will post sometime (hopefully the morning) tomorrow.

[rs2excelsior]

Unless Kuzit has strong feelings otherwise, I'd say let's see Vashien first.

If you have ranks in diplomacy, you can take the lead and I'll assist. Otherwise, here goes: (1d20)[9]

[Syless]

Kuzit's actually remarkably diplomatic, even if she's a weird little kobold. But as mentioned IC, if we want to see Vashien, we'd be best off just waiting around for him to come back, since he's busy right now.

[rs2excelsior]

Ah, right, true. Sounds good, then, lead off!

[PhyrexianShovel]

By the way, folks, it's Vashian.

[ylvathrall]

Kara is quite diplomatic. I'll post after this real time game.

[PhyrexianShovel]

OK, for the sake of keeping people invested, the rest of the group can show up at Gharen's house (feel free to describe your own entrance, and keep in mind that the door is wide open)

[PhyrexianShovel]

Zero and Bramses, it's been 4 days since your last post. Friendly reminder to try and stay involved in the game.

[Zero Prime]

We talked to the Church, the other's are taking the councilman, I am waiting til the next day. Sorry for the confusion.

[PhyrexianShovel]

Oh, OK. In that case, are you staying with Kendra, or do you want to get housing at the tavern/inn?

[Zero Prime]

Since I don't know of the offer about the Inn yet, as we haven't gathered together to share info, I will return to Kendra and make sure cultists don't try to gank her!

Would you like a narrative post as I return?

[PhyrexianShovel]

Up to you .

[Zero Prime]

Posted, he grabbed some listings from the job boards to read on Kendra's porch lol

[PhyrexianShovel]

Ok, but btw the listings aren't actually in the town square. Wandering around enough would have easily found them, though. I'll send them to you in a PM or in the IC thread (whichever you'd prefer) later today.

[Zero Prime]

Whichever works for you. Luna won't hide anything, and if there are big words, may need someone to help him read it lol.

[BramsesII]

Maronne will help out.
Sorry for not posting for a few days. Life's been awfully busy.

[Zero Prime]

Poor Luna misses out on saving the cat lol! Oh well, we'll get street cred with the towns folk one stray at a time!

[PhyrexianShovel]

Sorry, haven't really been paying attention to this game the past few days. If Bramses doesn't respond tomorrow, I'll assume Maronne's on the floor to keep things going.
