Define adventure.
Established owner of demiplane is good.
Are evil nobles in the pocket dimension [33%]?


23:02, Today: Arek rolled 67 using 1d100.  33% - likelihood evil nobles in Kelarn.
23:05, Today: Arek rolled 86 using 1d100.  Prime material world nobles (75%).
23:06, Today: Arek rolled 69 using 1d100.  25% people banished from Kelarn.
23:11, Today: Arek rolled 33 using 1d100.  another demiplane (33%).


23:15, Today: Arek rolled 60 using 1d100.  Event focus table.
PC negative: [random PC - visiting demiplane particularly bad?]
23:17, Today: Arek rolled 3 using 1d5.  arek, ant, torvi, gay, har. - TORVIL.

23:19, Today: Arek rolled 23,87 using d100,d100 ((23,87)). Action, Subject
Judge, Hope - estimating situation hopeless ? - "gnolls among other creatures of evil are seen as irredeemably evil" - they are discriminated against in the demiplane where Arek and co are going.
May be hypocritical statement - is demiplane evil, or just the nobles?

12:46, Today: Arek rolled 50 using 1d100.  Demiplane evil - 33%.
Plane is actually neutral, but also
a) has evil nobles.
b) discriminates against monsters.

How does the adventurer's guild impinge on Kelarn's operations, or offend Kelarn, and so why does the ruler have a vested interest?
May not be sure the nobles are evil? [say 33% - fact-finding mission rather than shutting down - would the ruling wizard intend to send people to 'register' him ?

12:49, Today: Arek rolled 69 using 1d100.  Ruler sure that the nobles are evil/up to no good? - 'fairly sure'.
12:55, Today: Arek rolled 62 using 1d100.  Has monitoring been going on for awhile (50%)?
NO - hence, quest isn't to acquire their 'archives'.
12:56, Today: Arek rolled 33 using 1d100.  Was this prompted by a recent event? (50%).
Doubles - can roll for nature of event.

13:00, Today: Arek rolled 37,93,91 using d100,d100,d100.  event focus, action, subject.
Move toward a thread; proceedings, weapons.
Hidden motive of 'adventurer registration' - the ruler has determined already that the 'adventurer registration' was set up as a way of cataloguing specifically what magical weapons adventurers have (this is a suspicious question being asked). The purported purpose is simply to allow for better defense of the kingdom in the event of adventurer's 'going rogue', but the nobles are probably, actually searching for a particular magical weapon - something that would be useful to their purposes. There is a good chance then, that if this weapon was located, then they would either buy or murder the owners of it.

13:07, Today: Arek rolled 81 using 1d100.  Likelihood weapon already in possession (33%). - NO.
Question then: does the ruler A) want the weapon located, or B) need to find out specifically what they're after and why?
Are there any events which could lead him to conclude WHAT they are after? [40%]
13:09, Today: Arek rolled 9 using 1d20.  Are there any events which could lead him to conclude WHAT they are after? [40%].

Verging on extreme yes; considering attitude to 'evil humanoids' before..?

13:07, Today: Arek rolled 81 using 1d100.  Likelihood weapon already in possession (33%). [of evil nobles]
13:09, Today: Arek rolled 9 using 1d20.  Are there any events which could lead him to conclude WHAT they are after? [40%].
13:10, Today: Arek rolled 55 using 1d100.  Specific monster type ravaging city? [33%].
13:11, Today: Arek rolled 57 using 1d100.  Magic weapon destined to threaten evil plans? [50%].
13:13, Today: Arek rolled 66 using 1d100.  Magic weapon useful in evil plans (33%).

"Proceedings" - weapon may have legal implications, but isn't specifically evil or useful against a specific monster.
Both prior questions - specify 'magic' - is weapon actually non-magical ?

13:18, Today: Arek rolled 64 using 1d100.  Is weapon magical? (50%).
13:19, Today: Arek rolled 84 using 1d100.  Is weapon technological (explains PC involvement)? [33%].

Adv 5 - reincarnation quest

Recapping: non-magical weapon that has historical/legal (non-magic, non-prophetic) purpose wanted by evil nobles, who are registering adventurers/ their weapons to try to get a hold on it. Likely to want to seize it when found.
How does this concern Kelarn ? How could it be stopped i.e. what do PCs do? Can they be sent to find the thing [scryed out] ?
Presume the item is somehow worth political power (symbolic, i.e. belonged to past ruler)?
And nobles are just enemies of Kelarn/the ruler.

13:27, Today: Arek rolled 90 using 1d100.  Fetch wpn (50%); plant fake (25%); assassinate nobles (25%) .

i.e. quest involves going into pocket dimension (probably) and killing a guy who is an enemy of Kelarn. Send by 'good guy' (LG) ruler who however, sees the approach as justified in preventing further bloodshed - this will stop him doing anything bad with the sword when they find it.

Assume they can transport to the pocket dimension (via fixed portal with 'checkpoint'), then can use their own planar travel to get out (conveniently). One reason they get stuck with this is that the assassin's guild is now disbanded.

They need to be not detected and/or be a 'deniable asset' (not having seen the Governor for 13 weeks helps).

Noble random determinination (DMG tables) - 11th level human magic-user.

13:36, Today: Arek rolled 22 using 1d100.  non-human (20%); barely human - nonhuman bloodline? - say tiefling.
13:35, Today: Arek rolled 11 using 1d6+6.  random base level.
13:34, Today: Arek rolled 84 using 1d100.  random character.

21:35, Today: Arek rolled 71 using 1d100.  NPCs can provide transportation there (85%). - Yes.
[assume fixed portal].
21:55, Today: Arek rolled 82 using 1d100.  Other support available from wizard (70%).
- probability of guard checkpoint 75%.
21:36, Today: Arek rolled 4 using 1d100.  Is there a guard checkpoint (75%).
EXTREME YES - lots of guards, higher-level.


Other Support (70%) ? - no.
Calling demiplane 'Dulorn'.
Taking gnoll along (can explain that he's reincarnated)... [His -6 might translate into say a -2 to others Cha roll if they can explain]
I think can instead be translated into a 'group check' (Cha roll each, majority successes needed - a la 5E - needs mechanics since no player/GM interaction).
Need a cover story. Trading something abundant in Kelarn (magic items) for something rarer in Dulorn.
Additional equipment - anything useful would be suspicious

08:05, Today: Arek rolled 14 using 1d100.  magic item for sale in Dulorn (50%)?
Not selling magic items - PCs cashed up enough they could be BUYING magic items, a specific item not available in Kelarn (searching for) at reasonable rates.
[Actually true - if looking for e.g. Ring of Resistance]

Antaeus - Cha 6
Gaynor - Cha 12
Harcourt - Cha 12
Torvil - Cha 9, -4 to check ('bestial habits' can be assumed not to apply - haven't seen in action, can claim he doesn't have due to Reincarnation).
Arek - Cha 12

Assume magic not common enough to allow for probing - expensive.
.

08:13, Today: Arek rolled 20,4,14,11,10 using d20,d20,d20,d20,d20.  Arek, Antaeus, Gaynor, Harcourt, Torvil - Cha rolls.

Results - Arek - failed. "Any crimes you've committed?" - Regicide
Antaeus - pass - think they let him off for 'normal dwarf rudeness'
Gaynor  - fail
Harcourt - pass - main spokesman (smarter than Gaynor)
Torvil - fail even before gnoll penalties.

Gaynor - trying to explain why regicide is a good idea.
Arek - DEFINITELY can't come personally (roll of 20). Others as a group achieve a 50% success rate (about what you expect with Cha being 9-12) so OK.
Possibly should be a bonus.

[Antaeus - OK with going without Arek; should be able to do stuff with Psychoporting]
May be able to get into portal 'after hours' also.
-Arek can read mind of portal operator to get command word with Telepathy.

20:09, Today: Arek rolled 58 using 1d100.  ring of resistance for sale in Dulorn (20%) ? - not for sale (using 20% - not expensive as is 5000 GP, just weird).

21:01, Today: Arek rolled 79 using 1d100.  Able to tell them address (or show house) - 80% (scrying).

At Kelarn end - other alarms going off. Can report (in morning) that they have failed. Did try however. Given that Reincarnate has virtually no cost, and a repeat mission would absolutely be a failure, the job has to be given to other adventurers. At this stage - say, that they owe a 'favour' to the ruler of Kelarn, and also they are likely to be tried and executed if they ever return to Dularn.

Random event - central casting - 'learn to use unusual weapon' - ignore as inappropriate.
