Special Abilities:
  • Fate's Favored: Whenever you are under the effect of a Luck bonus of any kind, that bonus increases by 1.
  • See in Darkness: You have the See in darkness special ability allowing them to see perfectly in darkness of any kind, including that created by Deeper Darkness.
  • Cloak of Darkness (Su): You conjure a cloak of shadowy darkness for up to 1 hour per day that grants you a +4 Armor bonus to AC and a +2 Circumstance bonus on Stealth checks. The duration does not need to be consecutive, but it must be spent in 1-hour increments.
  • Dark Secrets (Su): You can add a number of Sorcerer/Wizard spells equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1, maximum equal to half your Oracle level) to your list of spells known as Divine spells. You can only add spells from the Illusion (Shadow) subschool or with the Darkness descriptor.

Creatures that succeed at a DC 15 Wisdom check notice it plainly (an additional Perception check may be required based on environmental conditions). This telltale sign of wickedness cannot be concealed by Misdirection, Nondetection, or illusions, except those that also affect shadows (such as Invisibility).

Band of Clarity
Description: This crescent of barely solid moonlight merges with the head of the bearer, opening their mind to the song of the world, that they might know the hearts of those nearest to them.

Vote closed, lets see if you can make a stealth based argument.

  • [X] Explain to Cob that while he can't smell the armor's stench, everyone else can, including anyone he is trying to sneak up on. The heavier armor also slows him down and make it more difficult to hide. He can probably sell it when we return to Cauldron and use the money for new armor or something else interesting.
    -[X] Failing that, try to convince him to keep it packed away and only use it when stealth and speed are not a priority.

Arc 3 Post 2: Special Sometimes
  • Threadmarks
    • Special Sometimes ​

    Season of Rushing Waters

    Let it not be said that you did not do your best to argue against that reeking hide sack. "It stinks, it is going to give you away to anyone with a nose"

    "Cob knows how to hide smell, Cob already smells stronger than morlocks and xuls and a lot more than dwarfs unless they have been pickling in dwarf beer. "Perhaps unsurprisingly the goblin tongue uses the same scale for smells as it does for lifting rocks or hearing cave ins down far tunnels, strength, the armor of course is very strong.

    Stealth Opposed roll: 23 vs 33 (Cob wins)

    So you decide to take another tack. "It is heavy and still, it will make it harder for you to move in a fight and kill things." Alas his answer to that is a backflip off the cave well behind him which only brings the offending chest-piece all the closed to nose height

    Cob Back-flip DC 16: 1d20 +10 = 19 (Success)

    "You could..." you cough violently, echoes chasing each other into the long humid tunnel ahead. "Put it away when stealth and mobility is needed. Only take it out when we have to rush someone." Which given the skill-set the four of you have been developing, of trickery, stealth and sudden violence that should not be very often. Hopefully at least.

    Akorian fortitude: 1d20 +3 = 14 (Success)

    That is after all while you are going this way, to avoid the orcs for whom you do not have a head, not even a skull of their old foe. Even if it does mean that Warty now finds himself having to literally chew though dozen of nettle-pads and thorn-stems. Good thing slurks are some of the few creatures willing to stomach them and indeed they seem to take special relish in eating plants that are doing their damnedest to kill them. Or maybe not so good. If Warty had thought less of Cob's choice of armor it might have been easier to part him from it.

    The goblin taken a long moment to consider the suggestion, running long fingers, now dappled grey and grown over the hide. "You're not saying that just because of smell?"

    "Not just." Shallow breaths, that's the key, you tell yourself as you edge away, not too far though. There is no telling what could be hiding behind the walls of poisonous white and leprous yellow.

    "You don't like the armor." The words are not surprising, though the tone is. Instead of an accusation you hear surprise. What is there to be surprised about? Both you and Mina had made your feelings on the matter cleat as stone-water. He must have noticed your expression and He must have noticed your expression as he explains "In old tribe they would have said not to wear armor so that they could take armor... Well chief and spark head goblin would have said that. Others maybe try to beat me up for it."

    "Cob..." you are not sure how to say this without sounding awkward and choked up so you just settle for simple honesty. "We would never steal from you."

    "Didn't say you would," he looks at his leather-shod feet, ears twitching a little. "Just said old tribe would've."

    Old scars, old wounds, you think and do not press though after another little while of walking just as you duck under the leading strand for a cave spider, one of the little ones, hunting bugs not travelers thankfully, Cob nods as much to himself as to you. "Alright, I'll only put on armor sometimes."

    'Contemplative' is not a state that Cob is minded to maintain for long and soon enough he is showing off the rest of the stuff he had taken from the ancient Xulgath's hoard. Apart from the armor and the staff Mina now uses you are carrying fourteen ingots of black duergar steel, sixteen bolts of shimmering silk, yellow green and fiery pink, all of drow weaving from the quality... and a single skull of what Cob had taken for a big lizard but you recognize as a flame drake, or petty dragon as they are called out of their hearing. Personally you would not be inclined to call anything beside 'run' in the presence of something like that. The skull alone is three and a half feet long.

    Gained
    • 14 Ingots of fine dwarf steel
    • 16 Bolts of silk
    • Drake Skull
    What do you do on the journey?

    [] Talk do Gorok, ask about his plans of returning to his tribe

    [] Mina seems to be doing... something with spider webs collected from among the thorns

    [] Try to get closer to Warty. So far the slurk only tolerates you, maybe you can change that

    [] Write in


    Stone-Water - Water that is clear, good to drink as opposed to much water, water which must be filtered as well as boiled before it can be safely drunk

    • That's some nice loot. Easily portable and probably worth quite a bit when we sell it.

    /hug Cob

    Poor guy, he really likes that stinky armor. Oh well, maybe we'll find something better for him soon.

    [X] Talk do Gorok, ask about his plans of returning to his tribe

    I think talking to Gorok would be the next logical step, considering that we've pretty much completed his personal quest, or at least the most dangerous part. Getting his tribe to use the knowledge, once it has been deciphered, will probably be a different kind of quest all on its own.
     
    [x] Talk do Gorok, ask about his plans of returning to his tribe

    I may have missed the discussion if there was one. I saw suppressing our and Mina's sense of smell was one of the options, and it seemed strange to me. Is it not possible to enchant the armor, or otherwise treat it with alchemical reagents?
     
    [X] Try to get closer to warty, so far the slurk only tolerates you, maybe you can change that

    Do not object against Gorok, but want to try something else.
     
    So, guys, after getting a proper recompense from our Mongrelmen friends, we are going to the surface, right?

    Between our right of passage to Sekamina and connections to the surface, we could really arrange some profitable trades.

    If not immediately, then it seems like we should head that way soon-ish. Gorok is going to want to visit his tribe to pass on what he's learned from the Xulgath before long, too.
     
    Hmmm, thing is, we are going to need a contact on the surface...

    Maybe we can go and ask the orc borthers? Or, otherwise, follow the line of the guy importing Russet Mold and either denounce it to the authorities or ally him.

    I can see the Troll mission being done in a reasonably short timeframe if it doesn't require much travel, but following the thread of the dead Caligni woman seems like a much more involved quest that would take us much deeper into the more dangerous parts of the Darklands. Some surface adventuring to get a few more levels before tackling that wouldn't be a bad idea, IMO.

    I agree. The dead Dancer told us to go to a Derro city. I am not touching that thing until we have way more tools than the average Derro

    Another idea for the surface: we could hopefully try to uplift the Iruxi, and base our operations from there. I just hope they are not on Cheliax. We need a better surface polity to be allied to, and Cheliax is too strong, but too xenophobic (leaving aside the fact that they worship devils).

    If they're in Cheliax, I'm gonna seriously consider noping right back down into the Darklands.
