[OOC] Realm of the floating islands: A Strife in the Sky

[purplerook]

Alright, wracking my brain for what my poor non-spellcasting Rogue can do. How about a bit of camouflage to break up the silhouette of the ship or make it look less like a ship? Blankets or cloths in the webbing around the airbags? A ship-sized Gillie Suit. Even a blanket over the Crow's Nest.

Khat has Deception as a Skill and Disguise Kit as a Tool.

Let me know if that works, and I will RP Khat, and the Airman doing what we can in the time available.

But it is currently moving by engine, yes?

[LeDragon]

@purplerook: a blanket will hide the dark crow's nest on the light envelope.

@secretID: the airship is still flying in silent running mode.

[purplerook]

Sweet. I don't know if Khat's plan will work (throwing a piton overboard to strike something far below, but she rolled awesome to do it - 18 (roll) + 6 (Deception) +5 (psi-die, if the initial roll failed).

[secretID]

I'll leave the Fog Cloud to one of the others, since I think it will require a 2L casting.

[LeDragon]

I travel with my family to Vienna this weekend. I will post on Monday again.

[FatherDondo]

Cool. My folks saw it during their river cruise, they loved it

[purplerook]

@Players,

Khat is no longer going to be doing any scouting. A level of exhaustion means she is at a disadvantage on Stealth and Perception checks. She can still fight.

[secretID]

LeDragon, do we take disadvantage on the Perception roll if we fail the CON roll?

One level of exhaustion is disadvantage on all ability checks (including initiative).

RAW, a level of exhaustion can only be removed by a Long Rest (or certain high level spells and potions), which means that unless LeDragon rules otherwise, any characters exhausted, are exhausted for the remainder of the adventure.

[secretID]

Yeah, my question was whether the checks were consecutive or simultaneous. PT Will have disadvantage, but I didn't know if that started before the perception check or immediately afterwards.

[LeDragon]

First CON save, then perception check, please.

[LeDragon]

I wait for delpinator and Pinotage to drop off their characters, then we'll see what's hiding there.

[secretID]

LeDragon, it sounds like there appear to be the corpses of two separate groups, the crew and some orcs - correct? The orcs don't appear to have been crew, and there doesn't appear to have been a third group?

[LeDragon]

Right. There are two groups of dead:
1.) Crew members: humans, elves, half-elves, dwarves with the usual aeronaut goggles and cold protecting clothes. Most of them have cuts of blades. The human dead show also signs of post-mortal bites.
2.) Orcs in armor. Some have a kind of goggles, most of them don't. They were ripped in parts or pierced with short spikes.
