I'm going to follow him discreetly (I'm assuming I'm already equipped for travel and I've got the funds I was promised?) and see who he talks too and try and figure out if he's already being tailed and if there is anything significant/unique that might identify who he is, in anyplace I'm going to take careful note of his appearance and mannerisms. Also is the path pretty much open or is there cover on the sides?
I'm going to interrupt their theft, I'm going to intercept the coin purse after they've picked him and tell the thieves in thieves cant that this is my mark and we don't want to make a scene. If they don't back off I'll attempt to evade and call in Johnny Law before I engage in battle.
Skittle. This is excellent thank you. I hope people don't get impatient. This is a lot of work.
Going to open it up to more players soon?
In other words - If you disagree, next turn you are likely to get eaten by a Grue.
This is top shelf content dude. It's like reading a novel.
A quick interjection:
Dice etiquette
This is something I've been giving a great deal of consideration. I've decided, for fairness' sake, I will be making all die rolls on my end, from this point forward. It's not that I have any reason to mistrust any of you guys, but I figure there will be less trust issues, overall, if only one person is to be trusted (me) vs. a dozen people all trusting each other (me + all of you). This will be particularly true in the event some sort of conflict arises between two of you.
I promise that I will be honest and fair with the dice. Believe me, it's just as much fun for me to see if you succeed at an action as it is for you. For me, it means I get to see some randomness on how I get to weave the tale instead of this just being a linear story. If that makes sense?
I will post my rulings on how difficult tasks are: DC10, DC15, DC20, DC25, etc, etc... and I will continue to post the resulting die rolls along with modifiers. So naturally, if you notice that I forgot to add a modifier to a roll that would overturn a failed roll to a successful roll, then I will be willing to change the results. All it means is editing the post that the action happened in. I'm willing to entertain all objections.
I guess what I'm getting at is: either you trust that I'm being fair with my die rolls or you don't. Whether you continue to play or not is up to you.
Skittle. This is excellent thank you. I hope people don't get impatient. This is a lot of work.
Dead Ben
You kneel before the altar and statue of your goddess Chauntea, The Great Mother, Earthmother. Basking in the solitude of your temple, you are just finishing your evening prayers when a loud knocking at the great doors of the temple antechamber stirs you from your reverie.
A moment later a novice of your order quietly enters your door-less chamber.
What do you do?
