[IC] New Crobuzon & the World Beyond

[GM Marvel]

[OoC: I want to give Kubo and Crozar a chance to share any ideas they might have before giving any more clues.  

As for ability checks...

Simon has a very poor Wisdom so that will affect the number of times he can roll.  His Intelligence of 22 so normally this would give him 4 rolls but his Wisdom 6 will drop that down by 2 (minimum 1 check).  The same penalty would apply if his Int and Wis scores were reversed.  Simon is the only character who has a penalty to either stat.  

Simon:  Int check 1: [1d20+6]=10+6=16, Int check 2: [1d20+6]=3+6=9; 1 success!

Tomeal: Wisdom Check: [1d20+2]=16+2=18; 1 success!

Nang: Int check 1: [1d20+4]=12+4=16, Int check 2: [1d20+4]=3+4=7; 1 success!

Ning: Int check 1: [1d20+5]=1+5=6, Int check 2: [1d20+5]=2+5=7, Int Check 3: [1d20+5]=6+5=11; Failed!

Betimi: Int Check: [1d20+1]=4+1=5; Failed!

Tegab: Wisdom Check: [1d20+1]=13+1=14; 1 success  (Can a Wolf-Hound offer advice?  Lassie or The littlest Hobo (Canadian) sort of could...   )
