Cool thing about play by post, is things don't necessarily have to happen in the order people post.

Turul can wait for his guild, I think he mentioned that earlier.

I guess I missed the posts here haha, looks like the knowledge one is going to win that vote. Though we should come up with a rankin of importance. I am on my phone which complicates things for me though I'd say something like.

Recluse - intel
Kings hand - master dephicerers
Black hand - trappers / lotus - physical

Shadows - stealthers / hidden - masters of disguise


Ravens maw - masters of manip

The ones with / mean that taking them down is of equal importance due to how annoying they can become late enough in the game. It is dam near impossible to find someone who has a high enough stealth or disguise check. Same for trappers, imagine having set of a 10 part trap -_- or having to deal with a sneak attacking leap attacking bearwarrior D: just some food for thought.

Edit: I'll make a post reflecting this in game later. My phone has been misbehaving on me.

Turul will need a few hours for the forgery, he can keep chatting though even if he starts right now. Can't leave any sooner than that though. Also, since it's a secret roll by the DM, because these are fairly generic documents (Merchants logs and notes), I'm guessing I get the +8 to the roll. Just a guess though.

Side Note: I don't know how the DM plans to do things, but I kind of got the impression that the guilds are in place and won't be "scaling" much, the difference is simply how aware they are of us. I could be (and probably am) wrong though. In a lot of ways I certainly hope I am wrong, or else we may be taking on someone much higher level than us, when we get higher level that won't be so bad, but right now...

Overall I don't have much intention of "scaling" the guilds. because a guild of 5th level members could take out an epic party in the right circumstances. & you're dealing with guilds that use circumstances

Xbow, I'll stick with whatever the DM rolled for the forgery checks, it's taking hours because he's forging many documents. The list I'm imagining includes:
Trade Certifications from various cities (to show he's licensed to operate there, reputable traders would have them from several cities).
Bill of goods carried, traders have to carry something to trade (in this particular one we're heavy on coin since we didn't have a wagon when Turul started).
Receipt of trades from several other towns (Can't tell if you made a profit unless you know what you started with, can't tell where you made a bad trade unless you know what/where all of your trades were)
Contract of service for a catfolk mercenary/bravo, along with associated cost.

Turul is making these for several cities, since no one has told him which city they will be traveling to, and he doesn't know where the Hidden Ones base is. I as a player am assuming they know the general country, but Turul does not know the specific city.

So that is at minimum 1 page for the license, 2-3 pages for the bill of goods, 30 or 40 receipts, and a 5-7 page contract for the catfolk. I count 60-70 pages if I have to do licenses for several cities, which eats up a huge portion of his paper and parchment stock, and will take hours to write it all out.

Also, if I recall you can only take 10 or 20 when you can verify how good the work is in a pass/fail sense. I don't think forgery would let you do that, but that's for the DM to decide.

Honestly, for all the skill checks that the book says the DM is supposed to roll, I don't think it should be possible to take a 10 or 20. Because that defeats the purpose of why a DM is supposed to roll it

@Night Shade: What is your pronoun of choice? I thought we were using "he" but over here GodRosen is using "she".

I would love to keep posting, but thus far we have been plopped down in the world and left to our own devices.

Oops, sorry about holding the game up. I hadn't realized that everyone was waiting on my character to do stuff.

On a good note, we now have a name and a place to go to, Documents to get us there without suspicion (assuming Turul didn't fail the forgery check), and some kind of transportation to get there (assuming everything went well with the ostler).

@Night Shade: Updated character sheet to reflect the parchment and paper used.

If KevinFipps' character is out, the in character response (at least from Turul) is to hunt him down and make sure he can't rat us out now that he knows our faces (either by discrediting him to the point where no one will ever believe him or by murdering him).

Is this something we want to do or are we playing it off as game attrition?
