Investigation: 24

Quote from LanceKehisato >>

Sorry for responding so late,

As Fen leads the group to the docks you all get a glimpse of why this city is called the merchant city. A massive amount of ships line the city's crescent shaped harbor. Two massive light houses/ guard towers adorn the ends of the crescent guarding the harbor from any attacks. Many warehouses also spread throughout the area.

Roll an investigation check:

15 or higher:

Out of all the rumors you hear, five stand out. The first, is that these rifts appear only on the la-line cross points scattered throughout the world. The second rumor, is that there is no rhyme or reason to their appearance. A third rumor, is that a man in the Volstand mountain range knows more about it then anyone else. The fourth rumor, is that the same man is the one responsible. The final rumor, is that the end of days is approaching. This rumor is being spoken by one of those end of the world people, his reasoning is that the barriers between the planes are falling apart, and the create convergence is upon us all.

 14 or lower:

You are unable to determine anything from any of the rumors that you find.

 

 New page on the thread? Time to move this over to it to save on time for everyone. Also, something I forgot to mention, Nat20s on stuff like investigation checks and perception checks might earn some special information that gets PMed to the player. Kinda like when you fulfill certain requirements in a video game and get a secret bonus.

Rweni starts feeling a bit frustrated that most of the discussions are outlandish rumors or drunken fools making poor attempts at conversation.

”Andarel, I am beginning to see your point. This may have been a poor decision on my part. These fools have nothing to offer other than rude and nonsensical remarks!”

Investigation: 14

After several hours of wandering through the port, listening to rumors and drunken sailors, the day begins to grow long, as the sun begins to set on the horizon. What do you all do?

"Sleep in free bed, stupid to waste. Set off tomorrow. Anyone hit gold? Sailors only spouting codswallop." Andarel shrugs her shoulders and waits to see if anyone has a good reason to stay in the docks, or leads to follow. If no-one speaks up then she will start making her way out of the docks, keeping an eye out for anyone that might come too close, or 'accidentally' bump into her whilst trying to lift her coiin purse.

“I agree with Anderal. We ought to rest the night, get our wagon and set off.”  Rweni walks with the group. “We have no leads right now. Maybe, in the morning, something will strike us as to where to go.” 

I got some good, but non specific info... not that useful right now. Possible location of one person behind it all, but they are allegedly a powerful wizard.

Andarel perks up a little at Trilaxa's words, "Powerful magic, powerful wizard. Best plan so far."

"We might have stumbled on the same time of rumors. I also heard about this person, but we've yet to see if they hold any good info."

“Oh, Trixala and Fen. I should have let you lead this endeavor on. I am afraid nobody along the docks wants to speak with me. This possible location, then. Shall we journey over land or by sea? What direction shall we set off for?”

"They say this mysterious man might be somewhere in the Volstand mountain range. I'm not sure which transport method is better to get there, though..."

(Do I know where the Volstand mountain range is, or at least its general direction?)

(History check if needed:  I accidentally rolled it on the sheet and it was a 9)

 It is to the west, away from the sea. that is all you know

"I believe we might have to get a wagon and figure out the rest on our way there," Fen says to the group. 

"Sleep next, eat breakfast, use wagon, find wizard. Simple. C'mon." The little goblin seems set in her mind on the course of action now, and continues walking back to the inn where the group had met but a few hours earlier, before being attacked by rift-spawned chickens, and travelling the docks for clues to a nationwide crisis. It certainly was not how she had expected this journey to start, it was interesting though. That it would likely get more dangerous was never in doubt, so she carried on back to the inn, plan in mind, and hoping tomorrow came.

“I think Andarel is onto something there.” Rweni follows the little goblin girl back to the inn to requisition the wagon promised to them.

”A good nights sleep won’t do any harm either.”

Two things,

1. I wanna rephrase something I said earlier about the Volstand mountains, while yes they are west, they are also towards the sea as they border the western end of the continent. This is something one could easily find on a map so that's why there was no roll.
2. Assuming everyone is in agreement then I'm gonna continue on

As the party makes their way back to the inn, having obtained some knowledge and possibly a clue as to what they must do, they make the necessary steps to ensure they have obtained the necessary supplies for the trek west. The merchants having already been informed, say that there will be supplies for the first two weeks of your journey ready for pickup at the western gate, where the party will get a carriage. A magic seal is handed to Rweni. That seal will allow you to claim said items. Once back at the inn, you all head to your rooms to rest for the night.
Who wakes up first?
