I'm so confused. Is Daos messing with us right now??   Can't....can't Mal just be a guy?

[Daos]

I'm probably messing with you.  It seems like the sort of thing I might do.

[Matt4]

Of course he's messing with us, all his suggestions were so silly! Mal is probably just a Demon Lord who likes to mess with other evil entities' plans.

First roll of the game! And it's a success! Barely! :')

Daos as a priestess of Renos that's lived in this city for a year, would it be reasonable for Zemora to have already been at the temple of Renos where the body is kept? And know someone there?

[Marvoch]

Point-blank question because I don't know about this system being the first time I play the game. Is it a feasible idea to split the party with first-level characters?

If we're going to be actually fighting people: hell no. I suggested it because I don't anticipate any combat while we're just going around investigating.

It's as Gravity says.  Combat in 2E is heavily teamwork dependent, especially at lower levels.  If you split up, you can cover more ground but if anyone gets into a fight, they'll be in big trouble.  If that were to happen, I'd recommend fleeing.  Even melee, front-line characters won't last long alone in a fight, even an easy one.

And it's conceivable that Zemora has been to the The Blaze of Passion Temple.  It's largely meant for students and other academics, though.  One would assume if Zemora wanted to attend a place of worship, she'd go somewhere closer than trek over to the other end of the city.  But it's not impossible she might have visited it at some point.

I don't think we will encounter battle scenarios either (I hope), so I trust your assessment, Gravity, you being the veteran. And I'll keep well in mind that we should get the hell out of the way should things take a nasty turn xD

Thank you both for the opinion (:

[Daos]

I will say this:  Combat is not out of the question, although it's not guaranteed, either.  The city is a dangerous place.  It depends on where you go, when (it's daytime now, so it's safer now than during the night, at least), and what the dice say.  I have random encounter charts for all parts of the city.  If you go somewhere like the Slums District, you might run into thieves, press gangs, ruffians, etc.

Other parts of the city have their own dangers.  The ONK, or even just fiends walking around.  They won't necessarily be hostile, but...better safe than sorry.  Definitely act with caution, and don't be afraid to run away if things get hairy.  (And don't expect the ONK to necessarily side with you, especially if you're in a conflict with fiends or tieflings.)

How likely is it that that's a trap? It seems so random lol

But I am too curious to see what will happen if we accept, although I understand it's probably my nasty addiction to secondary content that's speaking xD

[Daos]

I mean, it is a random encounter, so yeah, pretty random.

Same, I'll definitely go check the casino eventually.

And I wish there was a sort of sense motive/insight to assess those weird social interactions ;_;

[Marvoch]

I don't know if this is an unconventional request, but would it be possible to have a post in the character stats thread that lists the personality and appearance of all five party members? It would be convenient for reference the info we have on the others as we progress with the game (for now, I have it listed on a note, but I am extremely untidy and it always takes me ages to find it; having it here readily available would be very convenient).

[Daos]

I could do something like that, yeah.

Not sure about putting it in the Character Stats thread, though.  It's already pretty cluttered.  But the Places and People thread might be a good place for it.  It's already containing descriptions and information of NPCs in the game, so adding the PCs to it too works pretty well, I think.

Great! Thank you.
