Ewan, about those rolls for the teleport trinket?

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

Hmmm...
Well, it's not like many realms tolerate dissent and violent uprisings. Let's not be hasty just because the Empress was fighting off a rebellion. That's not Falkovnia we're talking about. At worst, a Darkon and I highly doubt they have werewolf secret policemen there so probably better than Darkon.

Other than the fact that they are adhering to some polytheistic heresy, it sounds like a wonderful place!

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?
Raen has heard conflicting, unsubstantiated rumors about Azalin Rex attempting to create a ''bridge to another world.''

He knows powerful magic can move people long distances in the blink of an eye.

As for Sir Clive's device...he'd have to examine it to determine its possibilities.

Klokulf would hate to step on the Governor's toes by interjecting with his own questions at this time.

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?

Search looking around the farm, assuming I'm allowed.

0 +13

Fairly accurate, given his impression that "this is just some dumb monsters attacking a farm in the hinterlands."

I won't even bother to check my modifier. It's not enough to beat 10 anyway.

Kat will also try to calm the girl. She might respond better to a woman... and someone with no compunction about white lies!

Diplomacy: 0 + 5

The girl has been calmed and dispatched for further care.

Success!

Alright, the Governor is happy to let you guy at the scene. She's also searching, with her three huntsman. Keeping the rest of the men on perimeter watch for now.

You guys can make search skill checks.

And make any other rolls you think are needed.

After I am done searching manually, I will root around with detect magic, just in case.

At least, he did find the place. With the help of the others. Not sure if he noticed the governor.

I'll do a 'group' roll for anybody else who decides to help, rather than slow down play.
