[Blue Rose]

Oh yes, taking 10 on Diplomacy. 21. Assuming Attractive does not apply, because that would be ew.

[Blue Rose]

If Thaelia's fine with it, Sam's going to do her shadowy teleporting mystic stuff to get them back to Claremont so they can wash up and change real quick. Then, it'll be on to the cemetery.

[Brown Dynamite]

Alrighty. Go ahead and narrate the wooshing to Claremont and away in one post. And then I'll describe out the scene at the pet cemetery.

[Blue Rose]

Notice. 19+5=24.

[Brown Dynamite]

Alrighty.  Sam is able to spot an upturned grave, duh, but unlike the other disturbed graves the body is still inside this one.  What was a skeleton of what could best be described as some sort of cat from what she could tell.  A skeleton that was curiously broken open.  There were various powders, spices, and the like surrounding the grave.  With some sort of arcane carving set into the stone tombstone.

[Brown Dynamite]

Notice Check: 1d20+1 13

 

And Glam sees everything up to the powders, spices, etc.  Nor does she notice the arcane etching on the tombstone.

[Brown Dynamite]

And with the marking pointed out to her Glam takes a Knowledge (Arcane Lore) check: 1d20+5 24

[Blue Rose]

Computers to access the pet cemetery's surely immaculate database.

1d20+5=22

[Brown Dynamite]

Alrighty.  Sam is able to gather that Ophelia's, the non moving dead cat in question, grave plot belonged to a Myra Ayre.  Myra's listed address was a small home about a mile and a half South of the pet cemetery.  The cat is listed as having been buried with a ruby pendant around its neck.  There is no current contact number listed for Myra in their database.  Past a bit of chicken scratch and medical jargon that's all she really gets.

[Brown Dynamite]

Glam for her part has no luck Searching the File Cabinets: 1d20+2 16.   She finds some paperwork related to the burial, but obviously it was missing parts of the entire file and lacks anything that Sam couldn't find on the computer.  They've seemingly mostly gone digital in that respect.

[Blue Rose]

Take 10 on Diplomacy for 21, assuming Attractive does not apply. Because ew.

[Brown Dynamite]

Take all of the attractive use.  Take it.  Kidding.  But it's probably easier to mention when you think it might apply than when it doesn't.  IE when she's actively trying to use it probably.

[Blue Rose]

Eh. Every time I assume Attractive doesn't apply because ew, it amuses me. Which is why I keep saying it.

[Blue Rose]

Taking 10 on Bluff to try and egg her on to more rambling without setting her off.

Result of 23.

[Brown Dynamite]

Sense Motive vs Bluff (DC23): 1d20+10 24 She doesn't take the bait.

[Blue Rose]

Second verse, same as the first.

 

23 for Bluff, this time to get info and/or stall while Glam gets info.

[Brown Dynamite]

Sense Motive vs Bluff (DC23): 1d20+10 19 Turns out you can fake sincerity!

Glam is taking Knowledge (Arcane Lore) Check : 1d20+7 22 She had a +2 circumstance bonus due to the book.

[Blue Rose]

Diplomacy for "What's in it for me?"

 

More interested in how the witch responds than the actual offer.

 

IC's either down or not loading for me.  Using Orokos.

1d20+11=25

[Brown Dynamite]

Well she's unfriendly, but not in the mechanical sense.  There she's indifferent.

 

Diplomacy: 1d20+5 21 Impressive but not enough she is socially maneuvered.

[Blue Rose]

Of course, improving disposition's not really something Sam cares about at this point. She's gauging the reaction.

[Blue Rose]

Fa la de la dong ding, now I am a witchling.

[Brown Dynamite]

[Blue Rose]

Sam will use... um... Investigation?

Since they're close, depending on the accuracy of feather-based tracking, she can do some three-point triangulation to get an exact bead on the relic's location within the house, like if it's close to the window or deeper in, more like where a laundry room is.

Also, Magic Awareness kicks in. Is she feeling multiple magic signals floating around, or just the one? (Or nothing, despite knowing full well the one should be there.)

And, a Knowledge roll to suss out the general floorplan based like what I could expect it to be based on external observation and the layout of similar houses. Which, in conjunction with the Investigation roll, will hopefully get me the location of the relic down to a room level. I'm not actually sure which one it would be, since nothing really covers architecture. Art, Streetwise, History, Physical Science? So, I'll just roll the lot of 'em.

Investigate: 1d20+5=7

Notice for Magic Awareness: 1d20+5=12

Art: 1d20+5=20

History: 1d20+3=6

Streetwise: 1d20+3=7

Physical Science: 1d20+3=6

[Brown Dynamite]

Will give a situational +3 bonus from the feather to the non Knowledge things.

 

Sam  and  with a little feathery assistance figures out their target is upstairsish.  She also feels two blips on the ole magical awareness radar.

 

We'll go with Physical Science/History.  Technically Knowledge (Architecture) itself would be the best one or a Profession (Architect) but neither are applicable here.  And the Former isn't one of the default knowledges.  So we'll go with Physical Science/History.

 

She isn't able to formulate an exact floorplan.  But is able to make out where a contractor would have been likely to install an attic, cellar, and a general idea of the materials used in the construction based on the style of the home.
