Yeah, I've been a bit worried about this, which is why I was asking if other folks could do stuff with the books. :/ If there's nothing obvious to do, I'll roleplay with whatever is sitting there in front of the party. In this case, it was books.<br/><br/>I haven't played this before. I haven't played any of the PF adventures before. My DMs made their own homebrew campaigns. So, when we get handed a container full of "dangerous books" as part of a will, in a house full of books, and told to stick around for a while, I just assumed we were supposed to read the books.<br/><br/>Blinkin, you seem to know what we're doing (so far it feels like your character, by going into another room and just eyeballing whatever was lying around, has learned more than mine has fiddling with the chest full of books that feel like they have a hidden 'plot device' label on them. XD ). And we have a time limit? OH fun. I imagine there will be some sort of obvious signal of that, soon? Ugh, no, that wasn't a question, don't tell me. :)<br/><br/>It would be entirely in character for my character to sit around studying books and whipping up potions until there is no alternative except to go out and fight whatever dastardly whatever-there-ares. And so far she hasn't any idea on where they are! It was suggested IC (by Timo) that we NOT immediately rush off to the graveyard and look like a bunch of freaky weirdos (too late!), and that sounded reasonable to her.<br/><br/>From her IC perspective, a cult of necromancers, okay, that's mentioned in the diary. It seems like there's a bunch of books on evil gods who have to do with the dead here, so her in-character-reflexive-thing-to-do is going to be to research those and then follow up what Quentan did and cross-check against the Professor's notes...Until it becomes apparent that there is Something Imminent and Terrible that must be dealt with.<br/><br/>OOCly, she's a skill-monkey who can make potions and throw bombs (because stealth and high explosives is such a grand combination). Which means in a lot of non-combat situations she'll probably be involvable.<br/><br/>And I think I'd best go post something, then.
