Anyone interested in playing either a rogue type or arcanist in DND 3.5: Return to the Temple?

Also I did ponder combining the Forest with the Temple since it was down to 2 it seems. Like Hiromi ignores what happened and shows up at the temple? Think that is best to keep the game flowing.

Everyone may level to 5.

Would anyone mind if I skipped ahead and did what I listed in the Temple?

Got any games I might be interested in?

updated post

Basically, Cal is just asking questions. He knows of the people there but not sure why they left or what happened just that he knows them, and knows they were helping the daughter. He knows about them but not sure how they were involved-just that they left.

In a nutshell he wants to know about the ceremony for the daughter to be 'brought back'.

Also there's several healers, some shugenja, sohei (very few). Most are monks.

Just to clear up a point of some confusion. When the word 'mentor' is used, is that to refer to the person who was previously called the Master? If not, then please explain who this 'mentor' is?

Mentor/Master same thing. The one that was attacked by the daughter. To some he's a mentor, others he's a master. Some he's a friend. He's well thought of to most people in the temple :)He's in charge but doesn't act on it often, offers wisdom, ect.

If curious what he is make Knowledge checks. He does look human.

Lost the druid do to IRL issues.

Waiting on Koko :)

The temple is pretty self-sustained. There's place for crops on the outskirts. No village around, besides the small village probably near the base of the mountains. Its a temple in the mountains.

Also you got no tracking ability. Survival makes it so you can survive in the wilderness-not track anything at least not easily. You can try to track it if its able to be tracked but the group knows the daughter climbed up a wall easily. You can guess which way she went as Koko followed in her general direction. Having Track just makes it easier.

There's a varity of things the group could do-possibly use magic. Warn the towns around the temple, ect.

If not sure about something, feel free to ask here or in a PM :)

You up for me shooting ahead? I will take in account using Zok'is Detect Magic as well?

As long as you take into account that Setsuko will be sending out people to the small village to warn them of the potential danger.

Also, Setsuko will try to get all the information she can on the places, people, animals, and dangers that they might encounter on their way.

What kind of magic or other advanced items are available to Setsuko for use on their trip. It would be nice if she could better outfit herself.

1) You can do it if you can convince them to leave or convince the head person right now to send them out. I'd say you could do that easily enough. Also you can just send out word via pigeons.

2) You can go to the libary but that's more along the lines of arcana and history, possibly religion and some nobility. Its really the history of the temple. But you need to make a Knowledge (Nature) check. Also it really depends on where your going. To the village, it depends. There's nothing but mountains and forest. If going after the Daughter, its a Knowledge (Nature) check. Survival works only if going out. Knowledge (Nature), Knowledge (Dungeonerring) ect. All are useful. Geography.

In a nutshell:
places: Knowledge (Geography)
people: Depends on the person(s)
animals: Depends on where you want to go so probably (Nature) or (Dungeering) but could be another type as well.
dangers that they might encounter on their way: Pretty random.

You can definatly try of course!

3) Your pretty limited on magic gear. It really depends on what you want. There's probably a storage area.

Also the group isn't in charge. You can talk to the ones in charge. Keep in mind Set and Zok haven't left the temple as they haven't had a reason other then the mission to get the flower with Qing. Koko has.

Didn't want to give the group anything too powerful but wanted to make them useful.

Cloak of the Resistance: +1 to all saving throws
Amulet of Alertness: +2 to Spot and Listen Checks
Kimono of Stealth: +2 to Hide and Move Silently
Sandles of Speed: +2 to Initative and Jump checks

Cure Light Wounds x2
Magic Fang
Shield of Faith +2

So who is taken what?

Tried to pick things as this is a Orienal Game.

So sandles instead of boots, kimono instead of a vest, ect. Just feel it fits a temple too!

BTW Sandles were used by Samurai. Boots of course were used.

There's gonna be some things of course if encountered like boots, regular clothes, ect :)

IMO:

Sandles of Speed: Koko
Amulet of Alertness: Set
Cloak of Resistance: Zok
Kimono of Stealth: Cal

But no need to do the above. Cal has a cloak of resistance.

Also keep in mind there's no need to give Cal anything. He's fine either way.

For potions:
Magic Fang: Set
Shield of Faith: I'd say Set but works for anyone
Cure Light Wounds: Zok, Set or Koko

To find out more about Blood Magic:
-Need to possibly find someone that uses it or knows about it
-Find a libary for it (that is if it can be taught through books)
-Find a place where it was used (not the dragon temple!)

Cal doesn't really know much about it besides its evil, probably takes over the soul/mind.

I'd also lean more towards the cloak for Zokiro, as the sandals and kimono enhance things that she is terrible at, so would only make her slightly less terrible.  The amulet is much the same - Zokiro has no stealth skills, no particular perception skills, and doesn't really jump much.
