Well, tell you what.  TGT, if you would just answer my question, IE, can Baromir use a Scolastic Lore: Cryptology check to figure out those charts?  You gave me the option of making a -50 Logoc check... when I had a 51 logic.<br/><br/>You also mentioned that an astrogation check would help, and I made one, but you didn't say how it would help.<br/><br/>So we're kinda stuck there.<br/><br/>And until that little scene is resolved, I don't want to start exploring anything.<br/><br/>I could move onto a scene and roll some tech use checks to speed up the Everest's refit.  But that won't last long, since we're not moving on exploring until that scene (with the pirate charts) is resolved one way or another.<br/><br/>... and beaten to the post.<br/><br/>Ignore the above then!  Thanks TGT!
