"Um, okay?" I wait until he is fairly far ahead of me, and then start to follow him. I rolled a 19. I got 25 total for stealth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chasmgoat Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Once inside the tavern, Vito took a seat in the corner and put his hood over his head. He covered any parts of his skin with his cloak and over the course of six seconds, his skin faded to pure white and he morphed into Lander Hornraven. He removes the cloak and decides to wait a bit to not be suspicious. Rolled a 12 with a +5 modifier so 17 in total for stealth. Quote Also, if you think this is slow, wait for combat 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He nods. "Of course." He gets you a drink and pockets the money. He goes to get you some change, but looks at you expectantly. She holds up her hand to forestall the change, and gives him a nod. (It's clearly meant to be a reassuring nod, but with a 7 charisma it just comes off as sightly strained.) Taking her drink, she grabs a seat in a corner of the room, where she can keep an eye on things. It's not far from "Lander", actually. She doesn't roll high enough on perception to notice the transformation (12 total) but she's trying to pay attention to everyone in the room. You'd probably notice her watching you, @Chasmgoat Edited January 31, 2021 by Rushu42 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it does make sense, it wasn't what I had expected. I turn around, and quickly head back to where he asked me to stay. I rolled a 17. I got 23 in total for stealth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it has some kind of beneficial effect, but we didn't test it long enough to find out." "I mean, of course there is a beneficial effect. Why would anyone create a sword that is only detrimental to the wielder?" Edited January 31, 2021 by AmazingGoob 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd probably notice her watching you, @Chasmgoat Got a soft 20 on perception, I think google dice really likes me. Maybe I should switch to a different dice simulation... Lander, formerly Vito, sees a young female dwarf watching him. Hopefully, she didn't see him change. He thought he covered it well enough. He tries to see what other people in the tavern are doing. I got a 19 on perception... It probably looks like I am cheating... I am not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushu42 Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 I'd like to make an Insight check to see if Kodwola picks up on anything strange about Lander (enough to go talk to him, for example).
