Dice Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus - OOC

[WlfSamurai]

Okay, Felis and... someone else was there, but I can't remember who. Here's what happened in Elturel.

The city was quiet until Grand Duke Ulder Ravengard's visit. Once he and his retinue arrive, there was a brilliant flash of light and a massive crackle of energy. Then, the entire city was gone and a crater was left in it's wake.

Hopefully, this doesn't force too much of a reworking of your backstory. Sorry.

 

[WlfSamurai]

I just now see you were asking again about the attack in your backstory. We can add one if that helps. Either on the city or maybe you and your squad were sent out to attack something threatening the city.

Oh, don't worry. It's partly on me for not asking what exactly happened to Elturel in the first place.

That second one should work, thanks. If they weren't sent too far from Elturel, he could have been distracted by the flash, and I can still keep most of what I have. What sort of threat would be good to use for a reason to send them out? Bandits? Some sort of monsters?

Edit: I'd change some of the traits/bonds/... around a little or expand on them, too, since some won't completely fit with the changes in backstory. It won't be too drastic, though, I think. Hope that's alright.

Sounds good. Yeah, let's say a group of Orcs were seen moving through the area. On your way to track them down, they attacked a small village. Your group engaged and neutralized them. Even being a few miles away, you would have seen the flash and the city disappear from the horizon.

I'll roll cuz why not


Edit : now that's a way to start a campaign

Alright, I've edited it now.

I'll roll for insight, too, then.
I have +1 to Wisdom, so that makes 16 total, right?

 

[Felix]

Can I still do an insight check or was I too late for that?

 

[Ilikepie]

Insight is fun

Nah, you're all good!

 

[Ilikepie]

wanting to poke the metal person came randomly while I made that post and don't worry felix the poking is going to happen soon enough.

 

[WlfSamurai]

Was giving room for people to post if they wanted. Does anyone want to ask any questions or do a anything? Or do you want to go straight to Elfsong Tavern?

 

[DreamingBlackbird]

WlfSamurai taking a shot in the dark here but can the City Secrets feature be used while we travel to Elfsong Tavern? Or is it near enough from where we're currently at?

Absolutely. You can get the group there in half the time. 100%.

I love that Melody is a “writer”. I was wondering before we started how often that was going to come up. I like that she’s mentioned it a few times.

 

[ValkyrieRose]

I like to imagine her spellbook is encoded as a book she's writing.

Besides that it's more a way to explain how she sees the world and what led to her going into Lore Mastery as her school, which I can have her explain at some point

 

[WlfSamurai]

I love it. So good.

 

[Ilikepie]

Shadow not being the one to gamble means the group everyone doesn't have to worry about possible problems coming from attempts at cheating at the game.

 

[DreamingBlackbird]

What check should I use if I'm just looking around the tavern and tryna see what else I can find? WlfSamurai

 

[Felix]

I want to look for shady looking types or people preaching, can I make a check for that?

Give me a few. I’ll put it in the main thread as a roll you both can do.

 

[WlfSamurai]

Or anyone can roll it, for that matter.

 

[DreamingBlackbird]

Is it alright to roll the die on my last post? Since I already mentioned Saoirse's eyes darting around and all?

Go for it.

 

[Felix]

I already interacted with the hooded dude, so you can investigate someone else.

 

[WlfSamurai]

Felix , can you also roll the perception roll on the thread? You could do it on the same post. We need to know if he saw you see what he was doing.
