Ah well, I'm still surprised a cantrip, on top of now being usable infinite times per day can also repair magic items- I could be wrong but I don't remember Mending being able to do that in 3.5, so the PF team must have really felt 0th level spells were underplayed or something.

Moving us along. I'll send you a PM to advance your story as well Avianna.

Sorry for another delay. It will be up tomorrow for sure.

No hurry on my end, still trying to think if there's anything Kuldar would add...this guy is kind of being a jerk but I  feel that Intimidate, even from a small-sized source was rather effective.

Yeah it was a good roll and his counter roll was also very good but there may still be consequences of the roll yet unrevealed ;)

Actually if I am correct, PF simplified Intimdate to have a fixed DC based on the target's HD and Wisdom modifier rather then being an opposed roll.

Hmmm well look at that. Learning something new every day. Time for a little rewrite.

It's a commonly disputed change from 3.5, personally I'd say for important NPCs allowing an opposed roll is in no way game-breaking, the common issue being that it's much too easy to Demoralize people now but...hey, it IS just Shaken after all. If it could be used to Cower or Panick someone, then yeah I'd say that deserves to be very difficult, considering it was limited to magic(and special class features, and special creature abilities) normally.

Wow I'm so sorry guys, I just realized that I had the finished post sitting here in preview when I thought I had submitted it like three days ago.

Sure, sure. You just don't love us anymore... *sniffs*

:p

Oh he loves all of you, especially when he can craft more devious encounters to possibly ensure your doom (and mine).

Kuldar, Skraag, and Solomon, you guys still around? Haven't heard from you and would at least like to know you're present. If you don't have something to post, let me know and I'll move us forward.

Still here. You can move forward as far as I'm concerned.

In reply to Skraag (msg # 786):

Ditto

Nothing to add now, no.

Wondering if I should try tossing up a Glibness before we go in...if they noticed that would of course just cause issues because, what honest Dwarven Noble would need such a ruse in a courtroom >.>

If it helps I have Zone of Truth prepared.

You should ask first, but it sounds like it might be useful.

Hey everyone! Just thought I'd let you guys know what's up on my end really quickly. So today was a midterm and a presentation, tomorrow is an essay due, saturday is having to judge a debate tournament for 11 hours, sunday is my little sister's birthday, monday is the day i'll be writing two 7 page papers due on tuesday as well as an online workshop assignment...So needless to say that I may not find the time to get an update, especially this next one since it is likely to be rather long, until tuesday afternoon once everything is all turned in. Thanks for your patience everyone!

Done a bit early so I should be able to be back up to snuff from here to the foreseeable future. Sorry about the delays. Let's get back into gear! Post in the writing now.

Alright, that was a weekend from hell...at work right now so I won't really be caught up till later today.

It seems like a lot of us had a weekend from hell. I guess it's as they say, when it rains, it pours.

Whew...big ole post, hope I didn't overdo it, if a guard would interrupt with a swift armored boot to my Dwarven teeth and/or nads just let me know when I get cut off.

Sorry to Solomon, if you feel that I really said too much I can edit that and split up his case over 2-3 posts...possibly getting a response from the King before I go off on my monologue >.>

Yeah...in hindsight this seems like a much worse approach, I was just a little trigger happy after not getting to post for so long. If the 30 Diplomacy saved me a bit cool...but like I said, if the option to edit is still up I might take it

Feel free to speak your mind.  I have no issues about how you or anyone else plays their character.  I kind of figured it was just an attempt to move things forward.  And well, I kind of expected as much from a bard anyways.

You guys are free to assume that you now move out of the castle and are ready to conduct your investigation. Is there something you need clarification or DM posting to move us along?
