    Alright. I'll assume Bolten is just about as flustered and nervous as Shandara, but letting her handle the situation.

    Sorry for being MIA for a bit again, had an unexpectedly hectic couple of days, but things should calm down again for the next bit.

    @mrabdiel, I think your current scene is about done, anything in particular you wanted to do next? Do you want to make a scene out of Maria's planned visit the next day?

    @windstruck, could you roll me something suitable for looking harmless and innocent? I think diplomacy makes sense, but if you have something else that you think fits you can use that instead.

    As always, no sweat on the MIA.

    As for the next day, sure; I’ll set up a scene when I get home. I do want to earn Maria’s trust, after all.

    Oh, I didn't see that you wanted a roll. Well, I guess diplomacy is it.

    @windstruck, you're able to identify that this spell uses a metamagic you've read descriptions of before called Denuvos' Rigourous Masking, which makes a spell take significantly longer to cast but also far, far harder to determine what it is actually supposed to do if you can't see its effect. Unfortunately, you can't tell anything more about it than that.

    edit: oh, and lets say renting the covered wagon and horses sets you back 3 GP, with a 40GP deposit.

    Ah, well that's a cool metamagic thing I've never heard of before.

    And I guess thankfully, I learned at least that much. I think because of that, no matter how high Shandara may have rolled on spellcraft, I guess she wouldn't have learned anything. That's the most silver lining I've ever gotten out of a pesky 1 before.

    I'm guessing that maybe it's just a divination spell that counts how many unique objects are there, or something along those lines... either way!

    Anything else to do in this scene, or will we be moving along? I do intend to have Shandara ask Xavier what that all was about, though I have some guesses as well.

    You could have, but it would have required a natural 20 with your current bonus. If you ever feel like learning this metamagic yourself, it essentially adds +20 to the spellcraft check.

    edit: there is one more thing to this scene once you're ready to leave. I think you are, just waiting if Bolten has anything more.

    Re: Maria, I’ll spend the 1/3 of 1gp needed to make a fresh uniform for Maria. It’ll only take three hours and 3s, 4c to do, so he’ll knock it out overnight. He’ll put in time to make furniture and so forth for Maria’s room over the next week, but since the build of the room includes furnishings and that’s all paid for in time and cash, we might just handwave that if you’re happy to do so, DeTess.

    Also I think Aiden will need to get an artist from the Society to help him design a logo (it’ll end up as a crossed Fiddle and Saw) and probably pay for it with an owed favour you can call in at whatever interesting time you like.!

    It's fine to just handwave that. Do you want to make a scene out of looking for an artist?

    @windstruck, @prehsyterical, if you wish, you may roll a perception check.

    But.. you'll just make another compelling NPC I'll feel obliged to adopt!

    EDIT: I did some fantasy accounting because I wanted to. For combined expenses (as per the SRD) of Cost of Living , wages for Maria, a 2 silver a day retainer for Misha's ongoing help, food for Markel, Cliff, Aiden and Maria with the assumption Maria is making it from fresh ingredients, and fodder for Ambrose and the rats (assuming the combined rats eat about as much as Ambrose), I'm looking at 2.3 gold per day or 839g5s5c per year. These are rookie numbers. I need to pump up these numbers.

    Nope, just slowly dying from the heat, which has been sapping a lot of energy. I'll get a post up today, but then I'll be gone for a couple days due to a short holiday. I should be back next friday.

    edit: @windstruck, @prehysterical, feel free to kick things forward to when you reach the quarr (which is about a 20 minutes drive at your current pace) and start setting up for your tests.

    Uh. Just a reminder, I did say somewhere in one of those OOC things that the wagon was a covered wagon. Not sure if anyone could still easily peek into it, but I don't think weather should be an issue?

    Hopefully it's a correct assumption that we just get there without incident. Like, I hope DeTess isn't secretly rolling on random encounter tables...

    Yeah, that's a safe assumption.

    And I'm not rolling for random encounters this close to the city, so don't worry.

    Edit: @prehysterical, could you roll me something to represent non-magical focus/concentration, a will save for example?

    I will hold off on the roll for a moment. Bolten would trust Shandara to give him a bit of a helping hand with magic.

    lol this is kind of funny. I was choosing cantrips and thinking, "hmm this would probably be useful to help Bolten or somebody (but probably most likely Bolten when he tests the thing).

    Now I'm doubting myself and check the sheet. Welp, Bolten already has a cloak of resistance! But did Shandara know that? I doubt it...

    Oh well. Continue on, my wayward dwarf!

    @prehysterical, can you roll me another one of those concentration rolls, but add an additional +1 for slowly getting used to the device's quirks.

    You know I was thinking. In 3.5 d&d they had a concentration skill. But pathfinder replaced that with something like a caster level check + the casting stat. I think...

    I wonder for controlling something like the SCORP, could either will save or (class level + wis modifier) work? But maybe only for an appropriate class.

    ALSO, I think we all know what the roll modifiers for Bolten would be. 7+1 is 8. Any issue with just.. rolling it yourself?

    Yeah, but that's explicitly for spells which is why I felt it wasn't as appropriate in this case.

    I could, but I prefer people to roll themselves. If people indicate they're fine with me rolling for them in situations like this, I will do so in the future.
