Thinking about it that's actually a good point.  I'll update last post to include

Isn't Niamh going to translate Marduke's last utterance?

Marduke has Kothic at a Basic Conversation level.

Just choosing not to use it?

I posted that she did...

<quote>Niamh was always ready to translate Marduke's comments when needed. He struggled through Kothic reasonably well, but some things needed nuance. She had always had a knack for languages and it showed in just how quickly she picked up new ones.<quote>

He wants a direct statement, like, Marduke said.."this."

So update my message without Language translation?

Marduke has Lvl 1 with Kothian. A few words.

Well, I suppose I can do that. Does everyone want me to do that? Crom?

???  A few words

You paid 1 point for a few words?  Is that even useful?  Clearly not because you're not using it.

Points are precious

Nooooo per Language Fluency Table 6E1 p80 1 point buys you Basic Conversation.

I wouldn't get all fancy, keep it simple, simple terms, simple sentences.  Heck throw in a wrong word now and then if you want to play it up.  But for 1 point you definitely know more than "a few words"

I mean, Tiberio doesn't even have Kothic, he has to make INT rolls to try to understand it using one of the languages from surrounding kingdoms, and he uses more than a few words

I needed someone to tell me this. I own the Big Book 4th edition and no later editions. I'll make that change now.

Good thought for everyone, if you put points into something and you haven't used it, talk to me.  There are never enough points to make your ideal character so ever one you have is precious and better be benefitting you.

If it's not let's see what we can do to change that.

Edited my last post to be understood by all. Basically, Stealthy people to the front to eliminate guards without being discovered. If they posted guards, that is. Marduke is Stealthy and is ready to take point.

WIoth what light source?

And do you really think that going up a bare set of stairs, with no cover allows for Stealth?

Might these enemies see better at night?

The light of the moon?

Stealth can be silence as well. Those in front can spot sentries if they have any out, and can use the ornamentation aling the stairs to cover part of their movements.

It's crazy and foolish, but how much crazier than the situation we find ourselves in, at the base of a Black Ziggurat with some kind of weird Dark ceremony and sacrifice about to happen.

Hope that the Gods of Cubic Probability are on your side.

How soon after Marduke starts should the rest of us move? Oh wait, that's right, nothing said about that, so we will have to guess. A minute will be good enough.

Those darker lines on the walls above our heads (at our current position), are they indentations in the stone providing hand- and foot-holds for climbers?

Thats a good question. From the groups current location how far up to the next level?

Updated last post with details to your questions

Should have next post up tonight; sorry for the delay

Will be out of town (camping-no electricity) for the next three days (through Saturday).

Hope all are well.

Lucky!

Hope you're somewhere cool; gonna hit 100 here

We are in segments 1-3. That means only Chang and folks who held actions can go.

It seems like an mistype to me, two different actions, one above and ours, I choose to post rather than wait.

Doh!

Fixed

Please proceed to maim and kill at your leisure

Back from camping.
