(Q.A.) Discovering a New World

[inspiratieloos]

Wake up, put on clothes and stuff. Then go to the centre of the camp for food.

/absolutely no idea what I'm doing

[inspiratieloos]

have other members of the camp already eaten?

Eat slowly, make small talk until others arrive (especially Kirkstoff or one of the other PCs).

[inspiratieloos]

"You are correct, it is nice meeting you. It looks like it is going to be a fine day for travel. I'm hoping it finds you in good health as well.
Why are you part of this expedition, if I might ask? You do not appear to be the type for these kind of adventures."

[inspiratieloos]

"Ah, that makes sense. I'm not familiar with the TikTik, are you sure you don't mean Tiktuk? They are one of the major races in the city, most of my contact is with law enforcement and quite a few of those are Tiktuk, although I'm not really familiar with their culture. Incidentally, those guys are who got me here, I like helping out around the area when I have nothing better to do and they pointed me to Kirkstoff.

By the way, Arlis, that's your name, right? what brought you here?"

Yeah, I've been waiting to say that since you made your character.

[inspiratieloos]

"I'm done, I'll wait for you guys."

[inspiratieloos]

"Let's go" Heron says, before standing up and moving over. "Lord Kirkstoff" he greets.

ninja'd

[inspiratieloos]

Heron moves over to Saladin and pokes him on the shoulder, they both walk back to the noble. "Okay, you can speak now".

[inspiratieloos]

"Arlis should probably take the ring, he's the one with the most knowledge of otherworldly beings I'd think... Not to mention the guy taking point.

Is there anything specifically we're looking for or is this just to map everything down there?"

[inspiratieloos]

"I think that's it. Shall we be on our way?"

[inspiratieloos]

"Kirkstoff said we can't miss it, so the cave should be close and fairly obvious, there will probably be a rock outcropping or something else unusual to mark it."
difficulty in knowledge: survival to know what to look for/finding it?

[inspiratieloos]

"Found it!" Heron exclaims, cutting away some of the brush. "Well Arlis, after you."

[inspiratieloos]

"Saladin, you had a torches with you, right? Now might be a good time to light it"

[inspiratieloos]

"We should probably light a second torch, in case this one is extinguished"

[inspiratieloos]

Obviously

*Light second torch and hold it*

[inspiratieloos]

Yes

[inspiratieloos]

Keep moving.

[inspiratieloos]

"Hmmm, that sounds like...

4 3-Sided Dice: (1, 2, 2, 2)-8 = -1

[inspiratieloos]

I can't even determine whether it's an animal or human?

[inspiratieloos]

"...Nothing I've ever heard before. Unnatural even." Heron says while drawing his knife. "Arlis, is your ring giving a signal?"

[inspiratieloos]

Is all this on the side of the tunnel or is it a dead end?

[inspiratieloos]

"Hmmm, we haven't seen any splits so far and that sound has to come from somewhere. A hidden passage?"

[inspiratieloos]

Just roll investigation

You can only add one number.

Assuming the man appears to be aggressive and not running in fear
Heron takes a step back so that he is covered by Arlis, then grabs his bow and nocks an arrow, ready to fire as soon as the man attacks.

[inspiratieloos]

"I didn't feel anything presumably. An illusion?" Heron wonders. "Hey Arlis, you were probably on to something on that wall."

[inspiratieloos]

Is the wall now gone, back to normal, or still there but transparent?

[inspiratieloos]

Heron steps closer to the wall again. "What could have triggered it then?"
