Wayward Expeditions - Rise of the Runelords - Episode 09
 	Intro: For much of written history world events followed chartered routes. Oracles and seers mapped out the future in the stars above and their prophecies always gave a reliable view of the ages to come. Until a god died a century ago. No one saw that coming. And now the old prophecies are failing, oracles go mad and seers desperately tried to account for the loss of the future. While some cry out that the world is at an end, they've been doing so for a hundred years now and the world is still here, it's just unclear where things are going. The future of Golarian is open, ready to receive the triumphs and failures of a new generation of heroes. Welcome to Rise of the Runelords!
 	
GM: 

Markus: Ok, so that's first move, and second move.

GM: 

Markus: Ok. We never officially established what happened to my little pet, which was normally kept in his coat pockets. Does that mean it's basically got left behind? Or would it potentially still be with him?

GM: 

Markus: Ok.

GM: So.

Markus: High to have it with me.

GM: 

Markus: Yeah ok. 

GM: 

Markus: Yeah, he would have leapt up onto his back and climbed up to somewhere relatively stable so, probably shoulder.

GM: 

Markus: Yeah. 

GM: 

Markus: Ok, then I guess that's me done.

GM: 

Morana: 

GM: 

Morana: 

GM: Sure. 

Morana: 

GM: 

Morana: 

GM: 

Markus: Ok, so that would be first move completed and still no sight of him. Can I retry  Perception again?

GM: Sure.

Markus: Oh that roll not much better than the last time.

GM: 

Markus: Ok. I take it, it is completely dark down here?

GM: 

Markus: Ok. 

GM: 

Markus: Oh ok. 

GM: 

Markus: Yeah. 

GM: 

Morana: 

GM: 

Morana: 

GM: 

Markus: Sorry I'm just a maths in my head. And I think that's about as far as I can get assuming I've counted diagonals correctly. And obligatory Perception check to see if I can pinpoint him. 

GM: 

Markus: Ah, much better.

GM: 

Markus: Yeah ok. 

GM: 

Markus: Yeah, I know someone's there just not who.

GM: 

Markus: And given Taury wouldn't be able to keep pace this long, it's either Morana or Loyal.

GM: 

Markus: Ok.

GM: 

Morana: 

GM: 

Markus: That was 20 feet I just moved, wasn't it? Yeah, no, 20. [Sighs] Brain playing tricks. Ok.

GM: 

Markus: Wait. Opening?

GM: 

Markus: Oh, is that actually...? Oh right! Ok, I didn't realize that was an opening. Because it looks like it's more rock there.

GM: 

Markus: Ok. In which case, would have been a request of trying to work out which way he had gone. So Perception.

GM: 

Markus: Ooh.

GM: 

Markus: Just flat Intelligence?

GM: 

Markus: So based on that, I believe I went the right way.

GM: 

Markus: Sorry I just want to be clear. Right is referring to that direction, yes?

GM: 

Markus: Ah, ok.

GM: 

Markus: Ah right ok. Well, I've taken my full move now so yeah.

GM: 

Morana: 

GM: 

Markus: Ok. I'm going to move in a particular direction, and as I do so I want to be obviously looking around the cavern.

GM: 

Markus: The aim being, that if he happens to be in line of sight, I want to make it look like I've gone past him, and have kept on moving kind of thing. Does that makes sense?

GM: 

Markus: I'm assuming this is the point at which a Perception check becomes relevant?

GM: 

Markus: Ok.

GM: 

Markus: Good. That's possibly good, possibly bad. Can I tell which direction they're coming from?

GM: 

Markus: Yeah ok. Is it only the high pitched voices? There's no sign of a low pitched voice responding or anything?

GM: 

Markus: Ok, I'm going to go there, which is a half move, and I'm going to try and... can I try and hide here? You want a Stealth or not?

GM: 

Markus: Ok.

GM: 

Markus: The plan is basically to hide from that direction, but also to keep an eye out behind me because I don't know where the voice is coming from.

GM: 

Morana: 

GM: 

Markus: First order of business is to try and identify where all the sounds are coming from.

GM: 

Markus: Ok.

GM: 

Markus: Yeah ok, um what do I have with me? Yeah, none of the stuff that would be immediately useful. Ah, ok. I am going to move down the tunnel. I'll do the movement in a second. But what I also want to do is I want to quietly, if I can, start dropping like copper coins so that their visible at the entrance and going into the tunnel. Because in theory, they should shine in the dark?

GM: 

Markus: Yeah, fair point and yeah, I would know because I could actually see them. Would they be distinct enough under dark vision that they would like distinguish themselves from actual physical terrain?

GM: 

Markus: Ok, yeah, that's close enough given I'm improvising here. Yup, so I'll do that. And then movement.

GM: 

Markus: Yeah, that's that's fine.

GM: 

Markus: Yep, my I turn over then?

GM: 

Markus: Yeah, the plan was to leave several so they're effectively pointing a line down the tunnel.

GM: 

Morana: 

GM: 

Morana: 

GM: 

Morana: 

GM: 

Markus: Oh, that's a good idea. Can I retroactively do that as well or not?

GM: Sure.

Morana: 

GM: 

Markus: Ooooh! Yeah ok. Glad, I picked a particular direction then.

GM: 

Morana: 

GM: 

Morana: 

GM: 

Markus: Can I still hear the footsteps from ahead?

GM: 

Markus: Excellent. Judging from what I see, does the room actually split off?

GM: 

Markus: Can I tell which direction they're coming from?

GM: 

Markus: Ok.

GM: 

Markus: Ok well I, yes I will want to do that, at least for the next round but I have, I've double moved this round and moving there is the limit of my movement. So do you want the survival now or next round?

GM: 

Markus: Hmm yeah that's... If I can't identify a direction I might, but anyway that's next round.

GM: 

Morana: 

GM: 

Morana: 

GM: 

Morana: 

GM: 

Morana: 

GM: 

Markus: First things first, let's see if I can identify which direction he's gone without needing to track. I'm guessing that's probably a no?

GM: 

Markus: Ok Survival then... Better.

GM: 

Markus: Ok. Well, that's me moving half speed so. Oh, also at this point, I take it there's no sign of the light anymore? I assumed when Stealth was involved, but doesn't hurt to check sometimes.

GM: 

Morana: 

GM: 

Morana: No.

Markus: Vision range Furtive.

GM: 

Morana: 

GM: 

Morana: 

GM: 

Markus: I think we'll start with the obligatory Perception roll.

GM: 

Markus: Oh, interesting. Do they sound like they're the the same sort of cadence, the same sort of rhythm, walking, running, etcetera?

GM: 

Markus: Ok, with that roll am I... I'm assuming I'm also aware that Morana is present?

GM: 

Markus: Yeah, based on that, Markus will obviously gesture towards Morana, making it clear that he's noticed presence and will basically point, make gestures of pointing sort of like that way and left.

Morana: 

Markus: And then set off running this direction. I believe that's my full move so.
