OOC: Death House (5e)

[VAN]

When we are ready Van will go to room 5.

[kintire]

Kimber is attempting, hopefully subtly, to shift Burdur's sympathies from the "royalist" group and more towards herself and Vorj. Not in terms of politics, just in terms of the social relations within this group. Taking advantage of the Gnomish idea of comedy and her previous agreement with him about the general situation!

Persuasion:

Persuasion to defeat/ subvert Kimber's attempt

1 point out that Burdur actually shouldered aside Van, the first volunteer

2 Thank Burdur for taking the risk in Van's stead, for all our good.

4 remind Burdur he's our comrade

5 include Kimber on the team by mentioning her name in the thanks


Subtle or not so subtle signal to Steve's guy for backup.

Trying help Gnorric in persuasion

Last time, ALhoon let me use a best of two d20 on a social roll like this when we we working together. If ( I make no such definite assumption -- DM judgment call, not player stuff) he does do again:

[dice]0[/dice]

[ewancummins]

Heh.

No crit fails, but no great shakes.

Van, what about you?

[ewancummins]

Don't you have to post RP to have an effect, Steve?

Anyway, Kintire suggested her PC was trying to be subtle.

I don't want to abuse player knowledge, so let me roll a deception check as an informal way of determine if my PC picked up on what was obvious to me from IC

[dice]0[/dice]

[ewancummins]

Naw, he missed it. It's not really plausible, then, that he would directly try to counter her like that. I will edit a wee bit.

He still mocks her, because she is asking for it.


On a metagame note, you guys know we are all gonna die because there is no party and no leader, right?

Persuation aid Gnorric [dice]0[/dice]

I was assuming we will die from the traps/bad guys the name death house isn't that conforting!

[alhoon]

This time, I would go with disadvantage for Gnorric but Bunder's attempt negates the disadvantage. So we go for the first roll.

It's persuasion. Ewan, what's your first roll adjusted for training\ability (charisma)? Kimber, what's your total?
DC is 15 for Kimber, unless Gnorric's total goes above 10 in which case he negates the effort completely.

NOTE: This can potentionally turn Burdur a tiny step towards one or the other side. He's stubborn and a person's allegiance doesn't change over some insults or over some compliments. At most, Kimber could manage to make Burdur a little less friendly to the rebels and a little more sympathetic to the escaped captives. I want this to be clear.
NOTE: I go against 5e in that making it a longer road.

Don't you have to post RP to have an effect, Steve?

Yes, he has. So does Van. You can't get a second bonus though. If either of you manage to help you (Van failed), then you negate the disadvantage.

[ewancummins]

Naw, Gnorric fails to alter things with those rolls. Doesn't bust DC/

That's insight roll, and unless Kintire changes her post to make it more subtle, I would say... roll with advantage.
Kintire: Apologies but Kimber's effort wasn't exactly subtle.

[alhoon]

VAN: Van has already checked room 5 and found the engravings etc.

If someone starts peeling wallpaper or breaking the paneling, please tell me. Strength check DC 12 to break the paneling, no check required to start peeling off wallpaper, provided you have a knife or something to tear through it. 1 minute clears a 10' x 5' part of the wall from paneling or wallpaper.

Please, read descriptions in the map thread to see which rooms have what, and where. For example, the kitchen doesn't have either.

Right, I thought it was pretty obvious. But I wanted to honor the player's intent and not metagame too much.

RE skills, me sheet reads:

Persuaion CHR 2= +2

To me, that looks like it is saying I spent two points on a CHR based skill. But somehow the generator failed to subtract the low CHR mod?
It was the Pathguy generator, which for 5E is a work in progress.

Anyway, I think it should be a flat 0 total modifier (two skill offsets low CHR adj).
So an 8 for first roll.
Unless the advantage or the attempts to aid another actually h,lep (low, but not terrible rolls, so I dunno) I am assuming this won't hit the DC of 10.

Also, what does roll with advantage actually mean?
