LOST TRAILS OOC

[alhoon]

So...

Aside of married fathers, who else would prefer to go to the insta-teleport large world of knights with the big libraries instead back to our backwater tiny plane?
Also Raen is pretty sure the Empress can use the device to kill Clide if he betrays her. It's a must-have safeguard in his mind.

[Wolfglide of the Fraternity]

If they have powerful teleportation magic and extensive libraries, it might be a very good place to go to find the way home, though we would first have to find where this Empire is among the myriad worlds.

[alhoon]

We have Clive that this Empress might be able to locate and we have his mysterious device that allows teleportation (and probably allowing the Empress to kill him at will). It's not too much of a stretch to assume it is possible for the device to "beam" through planes and not just within the same plane to execute transport the knight if needed.
Even if not, since it's teleportation magic it probably has something in its magic that would help us "tune in" with the original plane even if this device can't do it.

Or at least... that's what I think.
Ewan: Can I roll Spellcraft and\or Arcana to see if the above theory has any merit? I am not saying that Raen would cough up the magic formulas without even taking a glance at this device. I am just asking if Raen with supposedly greater knowledge of how spells and magic (spellcraft) work and how magic items operate (arcana) and how the plane fabric is (planes) has any better understanding of that miraculous device than me?

Also, We're talking about a Darkon mage.
- Is Raen aware of Azalin's 40-year experiments to get out of Barovia with Strahd? I think it's assumed common knowledge that they worked together for decades to find a way to escape but the "known" version of the events is that Azalin just "Walked out" on Strahd after several failures. But that's the "Barovia" version I think. Not sure what Darkonese think with Darcalus et co.
And not sure what is known in your Ravenloft version.

- Is Raen aware of that device that feeds on souls and gets people out of Ravenloft that one hag made In Martira Bay (my guess is... "hell, no" but it never hurts to ask)?

- Is Raen aware of other such wonders that move people around through domains \ planes?

Running the back and forth of an interrogation is a little slow IC. Want me to roll a diplomacy or something and you can give the high points?

Yes.. Try Gather Information.


Does he have the investigator feat? If so, don't forget that it grants a bonus to this skill.

I don't, but I have +9.

Adam the player has a suspicion that these are Gnolls. However, I don't know if Bennedict would have ever heard of them.

0 +9 Nature check.

That's good. And he did hear the Governor mention gnolls, on the ride.

Yes, he can speculate it might have been gnolls.

He'll need more evidence to confirm that notion, of course.

DORGIO once mentioned finding the corpses of ''wolfmen'' who did not seem to be lycanthropes.

Gnolls don't have much in the way of weaknesses. Soooo....not much I can do to help specifically.

Arcana+9, planes+5, spellcraft+10:

WOW! I got above 10 after a couple of months!
27 / 19 / 12

Gnolls also don't have much in the way of power either though, so beating them up or firing lighting at them works perfectly.

Raen tries to calm the girl. He... avoids treading to why her brother and sister would not wake up or move. He tells her that they are all in a nice place, that they will be with her all the time and such. If he has any sweet rolls from the town he will give the girl one. Or all.

He is also now determined to stop those things from making more orphans.
Should I make a diplomacy check?

[ewancummins]

LORE results:

Some old tales suggest gnolls show a strong interest in green precious stones.

They happily eat carrion.

They use slave labor. Lazy creatures who don't do their own work. Stories suggest they will purchase slaves from kidnappers.

who else would prefer to go to the insta-teleport large world of knights with the big libraries instead back to our backwater tiny plane?

You mean the brutal autocracy where any dissent is crushed even if it takes generations of war?

Hmmm...
