    @El Skid Is she following the others' lead, or is she going off on her own?

    On her own. She's got Winds of Chance active, so she will just wander around until something hopefully useful catches her attention, or she gets bored.

    Apart from where the others are gathered, nothing of note stands out inside the building, since there's some form of magic in play all around. Something about the exterior sparks her attention, though that's if she wants to leave the cabal behind.

    Just want to apologize in advance, its been like 10 years since I played Mage so if I do something wrong, just let me know.

    Oh and also @cj iwakura we never did stat my bird, how do you want to do that?

    We'll wing it as needed, depending on what you're using it for. ('bdmtsh')

    Also, if he brought the bird along, that would definitely raise some eyebrows.

    Oh no, not inside. Bird is outside, hanging with the pigeons in cowboy hats.

    If the group wants to pursue the Hierarch's lead, we can cut ahead to that, assuming they're going together. (And depending on how.)

    I was waiting for Hope to finish her encounter outside?

    Hope entirely missed her thing outside! Let me do that now...

    @Bucketman That is possible, but it will put your familiar out of commission for a significant amount of time, and will warrant an Investigation + your familiar's dots.

    Yeah I figured as much, we have time so I don't mind. I'd rather we know what were walking into.

    Should I roll a d10 for each of my familiar's dots, or do I roll for my investigation then add the dots as 1 each?

    If the team plans on investigating Quadrangle's sanctum, just let me know what means they're using to get there and we can proceed to that.

    @Bucketman
    Your familiar returns wounded, but still capable of flight; barely. One of its wings appears to have been badly burned.

    Yeah a taxi is good. I'm going to stow my familiar in my jacket and keep petting him to keep him calm

    I'll move it along to the next destination then. (No, the cabbie is not a suspicious immortal.)

    Sadly, no one seems particularly mournful, but it has my sympathy. :(

    I'll use mage sight to check for any sort of warding that would be visible

    As in, the Ward spell that inhibits spells?

    Is the PBP format not working? If the group is finding it difficult, we could always transition to something more scheduled via discord or what not if it helps the campaign have more momentum.

    Sorry, I was planning to make a post, it's just been a little hectic.

    Not just you, the others haven't contributed much either, but maybe it's just a bad time in general.

    I'm sorry. My life literally fell apart over the last week and I have been trying to keep an eye on things but I just haven't posted. I'm good with either PBP or Discord

    I can only really do PbP and yeah... just getting settled into a new life right now so posting a bit less. Have my wife and daughter both at home while I work, and still trying to figure out a dynamic that works for everyone.

    Still want to play for sure, and I will try and post a bit more when I have a chance. Sorry!

    No worries then, as long as everyone's good. Take all the time needed.

    I'm going to use Intelligent+ Investigation to see if I can tell where the guy's place is.

    Although you can't tell through mundane means, the presence of the ward is a dead giveaway.

    I've got a point in larceny, is there something I can do to get an idea how this went down, or how likely we are to get caught poking around?

    That would be Investigation.

    Would I roll investigation plus wits then?

    Scrying and/or time could also be useful.
