The Dragoon: Day 1

... This is very close to Meta-gaming... I discourage Meta-gaming alot. For the simple reason that Carlos doesnt have the knowledge to make this assumption, therefore why would you, playing carlos, suggest this to the group? Although this is a bad example of what
im taking about, because Carlos could determine this, after seeing Tunaster and Al`Ertu wearing the same robes. Carry on though, I was honestly waiting to see something like this just to make a point. Although I probably could have waited for a better example of Meta-Gaming, or provided my own.

Example; Everyone knows Trolls regenerate and are weak to fire. But does your character? Probably not, unless he's encountered those creatures before. --Prime example. I'll Continue the story when more people post, or later tonight, which ever happens first.

Severain: Vagues doesnt make any sense there whatso ever... I believe your trying to say, Gauges. Vagues means 'hardly' as in 'He vaguely hears the merchants Meaing, he hardly hears them. Gauges would mean to discern; Severian gauges the words of the merchants I know english isn't your first language, but I had to point that out.

You feel that something is odd, but most of what they are saying seems true.

Carlos never met Tunaster, and thus could not have made that connection. Yes, this is a kind of metagaming, but it's exactly the same kind of chatter that goes on around the gaming table. It's just a case of players negotiating with players over what direction they want to go so they can contrive believable in-character actions to support it. There's a vast difference between the kind of metagaming a player already does to get his character to coincidentally join a group adventurers, who coincidentally happen to be the other player characters, who coincidentally banded together despite meeting coincidentally in the same tavern only hours ago, and the kind that that goes on when a geographically-challenged wizard (who, say, rolled a 1 on the knowledge check) just "happens" to fill his slots completely with Endure Elements and fire spells when told he's being portaled to Vaasa (unless it's been previously established that he's a pyro). I really don't want to argue and split hairs, but that was, as you said, a pretty weak example.

Everyone roll perception checks if/when you make your way toward the tomb entrance.

you see a hooded gnome sized humanoid coverd in black robes. He is perched on a narrow ledge just inside the opening. The little being doesn't seem to notice you just yet, there are a few big rocks between you and the opening.

You are close enough to see that there is no door to the tomb. The inscription on the lintel reads "Chonis".

The 'R' is Radour, the Backwards 'R' is Regwald; The ruined walls are 3' high, the only standing column is 15' high

Yes, you can charge or run to the tree and ready a ranged attack, since Carlos can't see the figure. And no one has pointed him out just yet. Also Everyone roll Intiative, execpt Hung Wei, BTW, Hung Wei, I rolled your jump check for you.

That's all I was asking. Carlos has no idea what the scouts were hiding from, just wanted to be ready in case it was hostile. The round concluded with no enemy visible to Carlos, so actually having something to attack is moot.
