Re: Group 6 OOC

Of course.  Sometimes, a good hiatus is all you need to get back on top of things.

Diarmuid is still here. Quietly watching.

Re: Group 6 OOC

Oh Sikhandyn, where are you? :P

Jos - where are you whilst Harry is talking and Diarmuid is lurking? If you wish to do something else that is fine, I have no issue with split parties.

You're competely right about hiatus(es?). I learnt that at a young age when I spent weeks trying to get past a certain level on a computer game, took a good break of a month or so out of frustration, then nailed it within my first few tries when I went back to it!

I'll be roaming the nearby streets, eyes peeled for any groups moving toward where Harry is at.

I believe Harry is back, so we should be able to get movin' soon.

*Hoping we don't have to replace Sikhandyn as I rather like him*

Re: Group 6 OOC

I am indeed back in this game too!

I had worked out what Harry was going to say before I left - let's see if I said it. If not I'll have to try and remember it.

There was a PCR (i.e. molecular biology) lab manual with all sorts of tips. The favourite tip was, "When things really aren't working, take a week in Hawaii."

That looks like a bare-faced lie to me...or to put it another way, please roll a bluff check :P

Re: Group 6 OOC

Well, not quite. I learned from reading the Stainless Steel rat as a kid that the best lie was one which was as close as possible to the truth.

11:55, Today: Harry the Bastard rolled 22 using 1d20+7. Bluff.

I believe that's what we call a tactical withdrawal...

All back together again (heavens know where Sikhandyn is).

Diarmuid scares me sometimes, and I'm the DM!

Gah! Scooped! Giving Diarmuid a wink and carrying on as bait was my plan...  :(

Still...good to see we are on the same wavelength :)

Re: Group 6 OOC

Yep, I got the idea Diarmuid, just hadn't the chance to post until now :)

Hmm, no-one followed...

I've left it open as to whether you meet Harry outside the inn or inside, that's up to you. If you do go in it's a pretty nice inn, since we're in an area that has several noble and merchant houses - middle class around here.

Re: Group 6 OOC

I assume the usual time and place is Tom's Tubs around nightfall...mind you, I also assume Diarmuid knows this and is as close as he gets to making a joke!

About Sikhandyn - there's a character with the same name and dsecription in a different game, who also hasn't posted for about the same length of time. This leads me to believe Sikhandyn is away or having connection troubles or some such, so I'll be waiting a bit longer before seeking a replacement.

Diarmuid and Jos (mostly Jos) - please describe to me what you're doing to appear inconspicuous (if anything!).

Re: Group 6 OOC


Diarmuid is chewing on some bread and the like even while walking his horse, since riding it is far more intimidating. He appears to be a messenger on his way somewhere or coming back, not too unlikely in the noble district. He's looking around like he's not entirely sure of where he is in an attempt to reduce the intimidation value even more. He keeps Jos in sight as far as he's able to do, the idea being that there is never any direct line of sight between the quarry and Diarmuid.

Re: Group 6 OOC


I think our plan is screwed. Diarmuid is going to be pretty obvious following Joss if Joss is ahead of the man he's tailing.

Oh hello who are you and what are you doing here? asked Tymin
Oh my name is Diarmuid and I'm following that man up ahead who is meant to be following behind you so I can hang back unseen since I have no skill whatsoever in sneaking. As plans go it's a complete washout so I guess I'll have to kill you now.

Re: Group 6 OOC

Jos is behind Tymin - when he said walk faster than the guard he meant relative to their two speeds so that he catches up a bit.

Don't worry, you don't need to murder anyone just yet.

Recap

As promised, a recap!

Client: Lady Erina Chersoot. Ugly spinster noblewoman with a lazy eye. Known for having a strong will.

Pay: 300 gold worth of coins and gems.

Job: Find and return Erina's father Heiroth, whether or not he wants to come along.

What you know about Heiroth:
Mage, and powerful enough not to have to worry about bandits.
Though reclusive, always appears at the Mizzen Fair each year - except this year. Fair took place a few days ago.
Found an old keep a couple of days travel from Guril-Forsihe, and had been spending a lot of time there.

Other things you know:
Two men were asking around the marketplace about Heiroth, a couple of weeks ago.
One was Tymin, employed by House Ermineshield.
T'other was Mateus, working for House Ab'Shal.
Neither was in livery while doing the asking.
The two houses are not known to work together.




That ok? Let me know if I've missed anything. If it's all good, we'll turn this into the Quest Tracker(TM).

And a hint of sorts for Harry:

In character knowledge - the map-seller is being offish probably because you look like a servant or commoner, which means you can only be buying for your master. Except you don't seem to know what said master wants.

OOC: For research like this (good idea, seeing if you can find anything out about the tower, or whether Heiroth came around to do same) you're better off making a general post describing going into several places and chatting up the owners. In fact, this'd be a perfect use of your Urban Tracking skill - since that's what you're doing!

And for everyone:

Remember that finding Heiroth is the key - whys and wherefores aren't important unless you want them to be (eg., for later use...blackmail for example!).

Think about things like - where does Heiroth usually live/go? Has he any friends or enemies?

Re: Recap

Splitting headache, but let's say the IC post is a final effort at Bluffing the guy into saying something useful, then a more general urban tracking roll.

11:03, Today: Harry the Bastard rolled 21 using 1d20+7. Bluff.
11:03, Today: Harry the Bastard rolled 26 using 1d20+9. Urban tracking.

That's right! You did!

I think it is time to head for the tower, unless the others come up with anything.

Well, I already said that IC...
