|
Imban:
|
A few days after your victory in the
Vents, you have been going from one party and/or bar to the next
due to people wishing to meet the new heroes.
|
|
Imban:
|
Following the directions you were
given to this one seems to have led you down a dark back alley,
however. Maybe it's in an underground club?
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
Why are we going here again? This is
obviously a trap.
|
|
Faiz:
|
YOU'RE THE ONE WHO SUGGESTED IT
IN THE FIRST PLACE.
|
|
Threden:
|
OBSERVATION: This location is "seedy".
|
|
???:
|
You took a wrong turn, friends. Too
bad it'll be your last.
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
I did not! It was the pixie who
is....no where to be seen.
|
Tilus:
|
"Even if there really is a bar here,
it most certainly isn't in the most... savory of places."
|
|
Faiz:
|
WHAT.
|
Adric Kain: (( Hey Tilus Impersonate
yourself ))

|
Threden:

THREAT: Do you think this is a logical
move?

OH, WOW. THAT'S EVEN BETTER.
|
|
Human Guard 1:

Good money in it.
|
|
Serra:
|
"Indeed. We've already sent back
numbers considerably greater than this on more than one occasion.
Surely you don't intend to fell us with just this."
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
How good? We're heroes you know. We
might be able to do you better.
|
|
Faiz:
|
YEAH YOU ARE SO GOING TO BE FLAYED
LIMB FROM LIMB AND I AM GOING TO MAKE A NICE PAIR OF BOXING GLOVES
FROM YOUR SKULLS.
|
|
Human Guard 1:
|
Uh. Pretty good. Also you guys don't
really seem like the kind of people who would track us down and
murder us halway across the continent for not doing our job,
whereas our current boss totally would.
|
|

Shut up about the boss already and
kill them!

Why would he waste time sending his

sending the assassins after us directly?

typically unaccommodating of failure.
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
I have an idea.
|
|
Faiz:
|
I DO LIKE YOU, BUDDY. YOU HAD THE
SENSE TO GET THE HELL AWAY FROM THE RAMPAGING DEATH TRAIN WHEN
THINGS WENT SOUTH FOR YOU.
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
Let's keep this guy around. Like our
sidekick. Then when the assassins inevitably come for him, we
slaughter them and tortu...interrogate one of them for more
information?
|
|
Faiz:
|
SO LIKE, IF IT WERE UP TO ME? TOTALLY
WOULD LET YOU GO. AT LEAST UNTIL YOU POINTED THAT STUPID SPEAR AT
ME AGAIN.
|
|
Faiz:
|
THEN, Y'KNOW. HEAD, CRUSHING, ALL THAT.
|
|
Human Guard 1:
|
"Uh. Actually I'm thinking I'm getting
out of town."
|
|
Human Guard 1:
|
"My name's not Zevran, after all."
|
Serra: (( Would this name be familiar? ))
Imban: (( Only if you have Break 4th Wall
trained. ))
Serra: (( I could History -> Break Fourth
Wall! *runs so fast* ))
|
Adric Kain:
|
Think about it. If you have assassins
after you would you rather be on your own, or surrounded by a
group of heroes who have braved all kinds of impossible odds and
came out triumphant?
|
|
Faiz:
|
ALSO WE ARE HUGE.
|
* Mechalomaniac rolls: 1d20+11 Diplomancy check sure why not => 16 + 11
= 27
|
Human Guard 1:
|
"...you have a point. I'll stick with
you for a while."
|
|
Faiz:
|
AHAHA.
|
|
Human Guard 1:
|
"Well. Some of you have LOTS of
points. Like the one with the falchion."
|
|
Faiz:
|
BUT YEAH YOU TOTALLY SAW WHAT I DID TO
ONE OF YOUR BROS OVER THERE, RIGHT?
|
|
Faiz:
|
WHAT WITH THE FIST AND THE CHEST AND
THE SPINNING AND THE THROWING AND GRINDING?
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
Good. Just don't backstab usor you'll
suffer one of the most painful deaths I can imagine. And believe
me. I've imagined quite a few.
|
|
Faiz:
|
WE HAVE A GUY SOMEWHERE AROUND HERE
WHO DOES THAT LIKE ON A MINUTELY BASIS.
|
|
Human Guard 1:
|
oh god why
|
* Faiz perks up a bit. "WHERE IS
HE, ANYWAY. I THOUGHT HE DIDN'T HAVE TO SLEEP."
|
Adric Kain:
|
Forge?
|
|
Human Guard 1:
|
Anyway, if you're going to find Modra,
you'd best ask around town, rather than seek out my bosses.
|
|
Serra:
|
"They must have all gotten sidetracked
themselves. That's the only explanation."
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
He, the pixie, and the distrubed bird
emmissary of a dark god decided not to come with us for whatever
reason.
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
At least I assume Sun Vulcan is some
kind of dark god.
|
|
Human Guard 1:
|
So, uh. I guess you should go do that.
And I'll skulk around and hope noone with particularly sharp
knives or poison arrows notices me.
|
|
Human Guard 1:
|
Sound good?
|
|
Faiz:
|
OKAY~!
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
Sounds good.
|
|
Human Guard 1:
|
Human Guard 1 is healed and gains 0
hit points.
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
What's your name anyway?
|
|
Serra:
|
"Sounds like a plan to me."
|
|
Human Guard 1:
|
Why, it's...
|
|
Imban:
|
A name screen pops up in front of
Adric.
|
Unknown command: "oof Pfft". Try /help for a list of
commands.
Faiz: (( "Buman Guard 1" ))
Adric Kain: (( Meg Ryan ))
Serra: (( Too many letters! ))
Faiz: (( AT LEAST Umb should get that. ))
Threden: (( ○×∆□* ))
|
Ryan Dale:
|
Ryan Dale.
|
|
Faiz:
|
SURE, WHY NOT.
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
Congratulations. Your chances of
surviving this chapter just jumped up by about 500%.
|
|
Imban:
|
Anyway! Take a short rest, and then
it's time to search around the city for Modra!
|
|
Imban:
|
This will be a skill challenge!
|
* Adric Kain plays the healing song
* Serra burns a HS.
Faiz: (( You songin'? ))
Adric Kain: (( I'm songing. ))
Faiz: (( THE PARTY JOINED THEME ))
|
Faiz:
|
Faiz is healed and gains 17 hit points.
|
|
Threden:
|
Threden is healed and gains 18 hit
points.
|
Serra: (( And the healing button broke again.
+13 HP for me please. ))
|
Serra:
|
Serra is healed and gains 13 hit
points.
|
|
Faiz:
|
SO, BUDDYFRIEND. WHAT'S A GOOD PLACE
TO GET ALL UP IN GRILLS WITHOUT THE WHOLE VIOLENCE AND CLANDESTINE
SHANKERY TO HAPPEN TO US, HUH?
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
Whores.
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
Don't look at me like that.
|
|
Imban:
|
You can use Bluff, Diplomacy,
Intimidate, or Streetwise to search for Modra directly. You can
also use Acrobatics, Athletics, Insight, Stealth, and Thievery to
make your job easier.
|
|
Imban:
|
Also, if you're making a Bluff check,
you can spend 50 gp on bribes to make it easier.

Faiz puts on a show of lifting and
tossing heavy objects in the town square. While people are
watching him, he overhears a rumor.
|
Threden: (( Threden forgets to take the cat
ears off his helmet, and so is not that threatening. ))

Imban:

“Modra is a dark creeper, and well
known in the city’s criminal underworld.”
|
|
Imban:
|
Also, he gains a +2 to his next Bluff,
Diplomacy, or Intimidate check!
|
|
Imban:
|
Adric asks around about other people
who have been attacked by the Lost Ones, and starts finding some
patterns behind it.
|
* Imban rolls: 1d10 => 4
|
Imban:
|
He also hears a rumor.
|
|
Imban:
|
“Modra is a dark creeper, and well
known in the city’s criminal underworld.”
|
|
Imban:
|
Threden attempts to glare his way into
a Lost Boys safehouse, but has the door slammed in his face. Also,
he thinks he might want to keep a low profile for a while.
|
|
Imban:
|
(Threden cannot make any more Bluff or
Intimidate checks!)
|
|
Imban:
|
Serra also listens to what people have
to say about the Lost Boys, and finds out some clear information...
|
* Imban rolls: 1d10 => 9
|
Imban:
|
“Modra was in the city three weeks
past, but he was keeping a low profile. He had a squad of dark
creepers with him, must have figured they’d stand out.”
|
|
Imban:
|
You meet up and exchange your
information. Time for round 2!
|
* Faiz is an awfully huge and kind of
dark-armored robot with a sword that eats the blood out of people.
He is pretty goddamn scary.
|
Faiz:

Imban:
|
Faiz knocks down the safehouse that
Threden got kicked out of. Literally.
|
|
Faiz:
|
BITCHES! I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS!
|
Serra: (( I'm sorry, Threden! I'll take my
init rolls back! Just get back to your regular skill rolls! ))

Imban:

“Look, Modra was in the city three
weeks past, but he was keeping a low profile. He had a squad of
dark creepers with him, must have figured they’d stand out. Please
just leave!”
|
|
Faiz:
|
I... BUT YOU SEEM SO NICE.
|
Serra: (( Man this thing loves its' duplicate
info. ))
Threden: (( Seriously? Dupes of BOTH pieces
of info? ))
Threden: (( Lawl. ))
|
Imban:
|
Adric figures out where he should ask
around next, gaining +2 to his next Bluff, Diplomacy, or
Intimidate check.
|
|
Imban:
|
Serra listens to more people
complaining about the Lost Boys, but figures out that all the
information they're going to get out of that has been gotten.
|
Imban: (( Diplomacy is now disabled for the
rest of the challenge! ))
Faiz: (( Can we keep up with the
Acrobatics/Athletics/etc shit and get extras? ))
Imban: (( Yes unless I say you can't ))
Adric Kain: (( Oh poo ))
Serra: (( Alas. Thankfully there are other
avenues I can go down! ))
|
Imban:
|
Threden... doesn't totally make a fool
out of himself while lifting weights.
|
|
Imban:
|
He gains +2 to his next
Bluff/Intimidate check.
|
Threden: (( That he can't make. Woo! ))
Imban: (( Sure can't. ))
Imban: (( Round 3! ))

starts threatening headaches on them until she gets what she's looking
for. => 4 + 10 = 14
Serra: (( (Intimidate) ))
Faiz: (( Well you do have creepy
solid green eyes now, I guess that's kind of scary. ))
* Threden rolls: 1d20+2 Streetwise, as the giant robot wanders around.

Faiz builds a fuckin' statue. It looks
sweet. (+2 Bluff/Intimidate)
|
* Imban rolls: 1d10 => 4
Serra: (( ..... ))
|
Imban:
|
He also overhears people talking about
it...
|
* Faiz has done an astounding service to the
community harrg
Threden: (( Derp ))
|
Imban:
|
“Modra is a dark creeper, and well
known in the city’s criminal underworld.”
|
Faiz: (( also JESUS WHAT ))
Faiz: (( Throw us a bone here, holy shit. ))
Serra: (( KIIIIIIIID ))
Imban: (( You don't have to hear all the
rumors. I'm just laughing at the repeats ))
Adric Kain: (( The way this works is
hilarious ))
Serra: (( Even when we win we lose. ))
Adric Kain: (( look let's just CLICK THE
HELL OUT OF THESE TOWNSPEOPLE ))
Faiz: (( CAN WE JUST PRESS THE A BUTTON ON
THE SAME GUY LIKE FORTY TIMES AND GET THE SAME END RESULT? ))
Adric Kain: (( When they start saying "Me
not that kind of orc!" we know we got everything ))
|
Imban:
|
Adric pretends to be a member of the
Lost Boys and sits in a bar with a cloak on, mysterious-looking,
and waits for people to give him jobs!
|
* Imban rolls: 1d10 => 9
|
Imban:
|
“Modra was in the city three weeks
past, but he was keeping a low profile. He had a squad of dark
creepers with him, must have figured they’d stand out.”
|
Serra: (( .................. ))
Serra:
(( This is just getting silly now.
))
|
Imban:
|
Serra is bodily thrown out of a
seedy-looking bar for being a little girl.
|
Imban: (( No more Bluff/Intimidate for her. ))
Adric Kain: (( While I'm there, any
attractive women who look like they'd try to slit my throat the second I
turned my back? ))
Imban: (( Yes! ))
Serra: (( So no more anything for me now. XD ))
Adric Kain: (( Awesome. ))
|
Imban:
|
Threden wanders around and hears a
rumor, while keeping a relatively low profile. ...for a robot.
|
Faiz: (( We know you're totally up for that
kind of thing but remember your blood is MADE OF FIRE so I don't think
they'd appreciate that, so much. ))
* Imban rolls: 1d10 => 8
|
Imban:
|
“The dark creeper is just the front
man for arms dealing in the city. No one knows who’s behind the
operation, but rumor says it’s bigger than anyone in Overlook will
ever know.”

Imban:
|
You all meet up afterwards. Time for
round 4!
|
|
Faiz:
|
Intimidate = 27 Rolled: 17 Bonuses: 10
|
|
Serra: (( Oh wait I can streetwise. ))
Adric Kain: (( See the logic is the
attractive women there who DON'T look like that would do it anyway, but
it's good to be up front about it. ))
|
Adric Kain:
|
roll 1d20+13 More bluffing. For info.
|
* Mechalomaniac rolls: 1d20+13 more bluffing => 19 + 13 = 32
Imban: (( oh, wait, Thievery is a primary
skill, too ))
Imban: (( my bads. ))
* Tilus rolls: 1d20+5 Surely she can find a way to ask her way around
for better info! (Streetwise) => 6 + 5 = 11
* Threden rolls: 1d20+2 Street wandering again => 17 + 2 = 19
Faiz: (( Serra just pickpockets peoples'
brains. ))
Adric Kain: (( She fences them for illithids
))
Imban:
|
Faiz knocks over ANOTHER Lost Boys'
safehouse. They beg him to leave.

* Imban rolls: 1d10 => 8
Imban:
|
“The dark creeper is just the front
man for arms dealing in the city. No one knows who’s behind the
operation, but rumor says it’s bigger than anyone in Overlook will
ever know.”
|
Serra: (( Pffffft. ))
Threden: (( Oh random chance. ))
Imban:
|
Adric asks the girl who looks like
she'll slit his throat if she'd like a drink and to tell him
everything she knows about Modra.
|
Imban:
|
The answer is yes.
|
* Imban rolls: 1d10 => 8
Imban:
|
“The dark creeper is just the front
man for arms dealing in the city. No one knows who’s behind the
operation, but rumor says it’s bigger than anyone in Overlook will
ever know.”
|
Serra: (( Sheesh. XD ))
Imban:
|
Threden keeps a low profile, and hears
a rumor...!
|
* Imban rolls: 1d10 => 6
Imban:
|
“Modra met up with a shadar-kai witch
a month ago. Some said she was doing a deal for weapons, but she
didn’t look much like a warrior.”
|
Imban:
|
Serra listens to what she can, but
doesn't end up with much except getting hit on.
|
Imban:
|
Everyone meets up for round 5, when...!
|
Serra: (( RANGERNIS ))
Faiz: (( OH NO RAPE SCENE ))
Faiz: (( OH NO TYTH SCENE ))
Adric Kain: (( EBBY YOU'VE RETURNED TO US ))
* Half-Elf Ranger suddenly stops Serra on her
way back to the alley and pushes a longsword up against her throat.
|
Half-Elf Ranger:
|
"You're making my job harder, you
blithering idiot."
|
|
Serra:
|
"....."
|
Adric Kain: (( if she mentions Deep Wang,
kill her ))
Faiz: (( Can we see this? Can I totally just
walk up to her and start with the flailing and the revving and the
explosions of deathblood? ))
Faiz: (( Or DIFFERENT ALLEY? ))
Half-Elf Ranger: (( The rest of you arrive
from the other side and see Serra talking to someone. In close quarters.
))
Faiz: (( "HEY YOU DON'T NEED SWORDS TO TALK"
))
|
Faiz:
|
...HUH.
|
|
Threden:
|
STATEMENT: Back away.
|
|
Faiz:
|
YOU DON'T NEED SWORDS TO TALK.
|
|
Half-Elf Ranger:
|
Tch.
|
|
Faiz:
|
UNLESS YOU'RE TALKING WITH SWORDS.
|
|
Faiz:
|
SHE DOESN'T HAVE A SWORD.
|
|
Faiz:
|
YOU'RE DOING THIS ALL WRONG!!
|
|
Serra:
|
"...Who are you, anyways?"
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
I'd listen to the large robot people.
They can get....messy.
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
Especially Faiz.
|
|
Faiz:
|
I HAVE A SWORD IF YOU WANT TO GIVE IT
ANOTHER GO.
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
I think the description I often use is
a hurricane of blood and gore.
|
|
Reniss:
|
"Name's Reniss. I was looking for
Modra, when you incompetents made it known across half the city
that people are looking for him."
|
|
Faiz:
|
...DO YOU... SEE US?
|
|
Faiz:
|
I MEAN I'M NOT EXACTLY SUBTLE.
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
Well...I was subtle.
|
|
Reniss:
|
"Yeah. This is why you should leave
adventuring to the professionals."
|
|
Faiz:
|
YOU ARE BRIGHT RED AND MADE OF ON FIRE.
|
|
Reniss:
|
"Anyway, why are YOU jerks looking for
Modra?"
|
|
Faiz:
|
ALSO HEY, HEY. I'M TOTALLY
PROFESSIONAL!
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
He's trying to kill us.
|
|
Faiz:
|
ASSFACE.
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
Or, well. Have us killed.
|
|
Threden:
|
OBSERVATION: The last group of
professional adventurers we encountered were markedly less
efficient at their duties.
|
|
Reniss:
|
"Oh. He probably killed my sister,
too."
|
|
Faiz:
|
YEAH, THAT.
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
That's tragic.
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
And a damn good story hook.
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
I mean. I'm sorry for your loss.
|
|
Reniss:
|
"Yeah, especially since she was a much
better adventurer than your sorry lot. Her name was Jen,
and she was with the Farstriders, the most elite adventuring band
of Overlook."
|
|
Faiz:
|
...OH, THEM.
|
|
Faiz:
|
YEAH THEY ALL DIED HORRIBLY.
|
|
Faiz:
|
LIKE, MEGA SUPER BAD.
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
Oh....OH! I remember her.
|
|
Faiz:
|
THEN WE FINISHED THEIR JOB.
|
|
Serra:
|
"Unfortunately, he's telling the
truth."
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
She was cute.
|
|
Reniss:
|
"...uh."
|
|
Faiz:
|
BECAUSE THEY WERE BAD AT IT AND WE
WERE BETTER.
|
|
Faiz:
|
ADVENTURERS!
|
|
Reniss:
|
"You mean after they cleared the way
for you with their lives, you managed to run the last step. Right?"
|
* Faiz does a little jazz-hands flourish.
|
Faiz:
|
NO, NOT REALLY.
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
It will be more heroic in the book, I
assure you.
|
|
Faiz:
|
WE KIND OF PUNCHED THEIR LEADER IN THE
FACE, THEN SET HIS SKULL ON FIRE.
|
|
Faiz:
|
WHILE IT WAS STILL IN HIS FACE.
|
|
Reniss:
|
"...uh. Well. ...damn."
|
|
Serra:
|
"It wasn't exactly a breeze for us to
get there, either, for your information."
|
|
Threden:
|
OBSERVATION: Most of the defenses in
the ruins they were navigating were still active by the time this
unit arrived.
|
|
Reniss:
|
"...aaaaanyway, Jen sent me her dying
words, which were just the name Modra. I tracked him here, then
found that you guys made sure everyone in town knew people were
out for him."
|
* Faiz turns his head a bit to Adric. "HEY WAS
HER SISTER THE ONE WE FOUND MAULED BY ORCS AND BEETLES OR ONE OF THE
ONES MAULED BY ORCS AND TROLL?"
* Adric Kain facepalm.
Serra: (( We seem to be doing grand at these
skill challenges, aren't we? ))
|
Imban:
|
Orcs and beetles, for the record.
|
|
Reniss:
|
"..."
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
Ok, we're all after Modra.
|
|
Faiz:
|
YEAH, PRETTY MUCH.
|
|
Reniss:
|
"Yeah, well, I guess you can kill shit
pretty well. Even if you can't keep your mouths shut."
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
Let's....compare notes
|
|
Reniss:
|
"Sure."
|
|
Faiz:
|
YELLING THINGS IS A VALUABLE
INTIMIDATION TACTIC.
|
|
Faiz:
|
ALONG WITH PUSHING HOUSES OVER.
|
|
Reniss:
|
"He's a weapons dealer, but I've heard
he's been on the run ever since the Battle of Bordrin's Watch."
|
|
Faiz:
|
HOH.
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
He probably bet on the wrong horse.
|
|
Reniss:
|
"Anyway, while I was hunting around, I
met a dark creeper who was close to death. I bandaged him and
asked him what happened, and he said he was jumped for working for
Modra."
|
|
Reniss:
|
"Said people are out to kill Modra.
Didn't sound like you lot, either."
|
|
Faiz:
|
...YOU HELPED SOMETHING THAT...
SNAGGLY?
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
We helped bait.
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
I mean...Ryan.
|
|
Faiz:
|
I MEAN I THINK WE FOUGHT ONE OF THOSE
THINGS DOWN THERE AND HE KIND OF LOOKED LIKE SOMETHING THAT
KICKING IN THE TEETH WOULD MAKE PRETTIER.
|
|
Reniss:
|
"Anyway, he said to look in this
almshouse in Tradetown called the Happy Beggar, and that's where I
was headed to next when I heard that everyone in the entire city
would know I was coming."
|
|
Reniss:
|
"Oh, after I bandaged him I slit his
throat."
|
|
Faiz:
|
...THAT JUST RAISES MORE
QUESTIONS.
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
That's nonsense. Everyone in the
entire city will know we're coming. They don't know anything about
you.
|
|
Faiz:
|
I THINK I CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT
TOO, REALLY.
|
|
Reniss:
|
"Right. And knowing your guys' modus
operandi, which is apparently..."
|
* Reniss looks at Faiz
|
Reniss:
|
"...to kick in the doors and kill
everything they see..."
|
|
Faiz:
|
ENTERTAINING.
|
|
Reniss:
|
"...there's going to be pretty tight
defenses whereever Modra is."
|
|
Faiz:
|
I'M AN ENTERTAINER.
|
|
Faiz:
|
ALSO A CONSTRUCTION WORKER.
|
|
Reniss:
|
"So while I could go it alone, I'm
pretty sure it'd be fucking stupid."
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
Subtle doesn't work when you travel
with three warforged, a religious zealot, and his bizzare chimera.
|
* Adric Kain totally ignores the fact the
religious zealot is actually the sneaky one.
|
Reniss:
|
"So the point is, I'm joining you
sorry assholes."
|
|
Faiz:
|
NEAT!
|
|
Faiz:
|
WE FOUND THIS ONE GUY WHO KIND OF
JOINED US EARLIER TOO.
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
Excellent. More supporting characters
for the book!
|
|
Reniss:
|
"Human?"
|
|
Faiz:
|
WHEN WE... KILLED EVERYONE ELSE.
|
* Reniss looks at him.
|
Reniss:
|
"Yeah, fine."
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
So...what do you do?
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
Stab things? Shoot things? Magic
things?
|
|
Faiz:
|
COMBINATIONS THEREOF?
|
|
Reniss:
|
"I shoot things and they stop being
alive."
|
Faiz: (( I like how Tilus has been quiet
this ENTIRE TIME. ))
Adric Kain: (( Clearly Serra is shell
shocked ))
|
Faiz:
|
EXCELLENT! WE HAVE SOME OTHER
PEOPLE WHO DO THAT TOO.
|
Serra: (( Yeah, I've been distracted. ))
|
Faiz:
|
UH. ONE OF THEM YOU TRIED TO STAB.
|
Adric Kain: (( STOP WATCHING MY LITTLE PONY
DURING GAME TIME TILUS ))
* Faiz tilts his head up. "SHANK? IMPALE...?"
Serra: (( I don't do that. XD ))
|
Reniss:
|
"Sometimes I also stab things. You
robots take things so literally."
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
Shank requires something smaller. Like
a dagger.
|
|
Reniss:
|
"Anyway, this way."
|
|
Faiz:
|
I KNOW "CLEAVE" AND I KNOW "REND,"
THIS IS ABOUT ALL I'M INTIMATELY FAMILIAR WITH.
|
|
Faiz:
|
THE REST I JUST MAKE UP AS I GO ALONG.
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
You should try decapitate some time.
|
|
Faiz:
|
OHH.
|
Imban: (( Move to the new map: Happy Beggar ))
|
Adric Kain:
|
And if we ever get the opportunity?
Defenstration is amazing.
|
Adric Kain: (( THIS IS A VERY LARGE INN ))
|
Prashant:
|
"Greetings and welcome. You are just
in time for tea and songs of devotion. Please, join us!"
|
|
Faiz:
|
I LIKE THIS PLACE ALREADY.
|
|
Ryan Dale:
|
"Ugh, the Happy Beggar. This place is
known for being a bit overly holy."
|
|
Prashant:
|
"Some tea, dear?"
|
|
Ausma:
|
"Of course."
|
* Faiz turns his head over to Adric again.
"WHAT ARE SONGS OF DEVOTION?"
|
Adric Kain:
|
And Azar is missing it.
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
A song showing your devotion
to...something.
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
For you I'd recommend a little tune
called "Let the bodies hit the floor"
|
|
Faiz:
|
DO WE HAVE A SONG OF DEVOTION?
|
|
Faiz:
|
OH, WE DO.
|
|
Faiz:
|
YOU'RE THE BEST.
|
* Reniss whispers.
* Serra listens in.
* Adric Kain also listens in
|
Reniss:
|
"Anyway, this place is run by
Paladins. If there's anything going on, it's got to be hidden
somewhere.
|
* Serra nods.
|
Reniss:
|
"I'd recommend having Ryan there
distract them while the rest of us head downstairs to look."
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
That's a good plan.
|
|
Threden:
|
AGREEMENT
|
* Brenat coughs
* Brenat stands up, wobbly, and wobbles his
way over towards the heroes.
|
Faiz:
|
...HI!
|
|
Brenat:
|
"Oh, adventurers... so rare that I see
young ones like you in my old age..."
|
* Adric Kain wanders over to Ryan. "Go mingle
with the crowd while we have a look around. You'll be safe up here."
|
Faiz:
|
WHY?
|
* Ryan Dale mingle mingle
|
Faiz:
|
PLACE LIKE THIS IS AWESOME. YOU SHOULD
TOTALLY SEE US LIKE EVERY OTHER DAY OR SOMETHING.
|
|
Brenat:
|
"I mostly keep to myself nowadays...
the old bones aren't what they used to be."
|
|
Brenat:
|
"What brings you all here?"
|
|
Faiz:
|
...STUFF.
|
|
Brenat:
|
"Ah, stuff. The stuff of legends..."
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
It will be.
|
|
Threden:
|
RESPONSE: Exploring the city.
|
|
Faiz:
|
AHAHA.
|
|
Brenat:
|
"And what will they tell of your
legend here?"
|
|
Faiz:
|
WELL, I DUNNO. WE CRUSH THINGS AND HE
WRITES ABOUT IT, REALLY.
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
I translate it into more eloquent
words than crush, of course.
|
|
Brenat:
|
"Ah... and so you have come here to
crush tea leaves? Or something more interesting?"
|
|
Faiz:
|
WELL I LIKE TEA...
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
Oh, we're just taking a look about.
You never know where a legend might pop up after all.
|
|
Brenat:
|
"I see, I see..."
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
And what brings you in here?
|
|
Brenat:
|
"Ah, just to hear the praises of
Pelor. It reminds me of my youth, fighting dark creepers in the
mountains as a younger man. Then I took an arrow to the knee."
|
|
Faiz:
|
...I FEEL ANGRY ALL OF A SUDDEN.
|
Adric Kain: (( /roll 1d20+5 I'm stabbing
this asshole in the knee ))
Adric Kain: (( No ))
Serra:
|
"That must have been painful, indeed."
|
* Serra looks to see if there's any noticeable
limp in this guy's walking.
* Serra casually, of course.
* Faiz also ruminates on the concept of this
"Pelor" dude, momentarily.
Brenat: (( Roll Perception ))
|
Adric Kain:
|
So see any interesting sights around
here, aside from ourselves?
|
|
Faiz:
|
Insight = 6 Rolled: 3 Bonuses: 3
|
|
Brenat: (( or Insight ))
Faiz: (( For personal purposes~ ))
* Tilus rolls: 1d20+2 Ara ara ufufu? => 13 + 2 = 15
* Mechalomaniac rolls: 1d20+8 PERCEIVE => 1 + 8 = 9
* Imban rolls: 1d20+9 Bluff the goofy Serra => 17 + 9 = 26
Adric Kain: (( Wow this half elf has nice
boobs. ))
*
Brenat took an arrow to the knee.
Faiz: (( Blaine is so going to quit the
group now, ahaha. ))
Adric Kain: (( Or he'll kill the guy ))
|
Brenat:
|
"Just remember. If you have cause to
fight Dark Creepers yourselves, strike no bargains with them.
They're so deceitful, they are..."
|
* Brenat begins hobbling towards the door of
the inn.
|
Adric Kain:
|
That's puzzling. Though I'm sure Faiz
will be happy at the concept of take no prisoners.
|
|
Faiz:
|
I AM A TRAIN OF DESTRUCTION!
|
Serra:
|
"Indeed. I hope he isn't going to
reaggravate his leg if he keeps walking around like that."
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
You'd think he'd have a cane.
|
|
Ryan Dale:
|
"So there I was, with this giant metal
man in front of me, and just like that, the sun dawned and he
mercifully decided to let me go."
|
|
Faiz:
|
WHAT.
|
|
Reniss:
|
"I think that's our cue. Let's head
downstairs."
|
* Serra looks around to make sure Ryan's still
distracting the veterans' club.
|
Reniss:
|
"This means you too."
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
Good idea. So far as I know that's the
only story he owns.
|
|
Faiz:
|
HI!
|
* Serra nods.
Adric Kain: (( knows, even ))
|
Faiz:
|
THIS IS VERY CRAMPED.
|
|
Reniss:
|
"Anyway, let's search around."
|
Reniss: (( Everyone roll Perception! ))
* Tilus rolls: 1d20+2 Ara ara ara~ => 18 + 2 = 20
* Faiz looks around kind of flustered; this is
way too small.
|
Faiz:
|
Perception = 27 Rolled: 19 Bonuses: 8
|
|
* Mechalomaniac rolls: 1d20+8 Perception do better than last time => 17
+ 8 = 25
* Threden rolls: 1d20+2 Robot sensors => 5 + 2 = 7
Imban:
|
Adric notices there's no other way out
of here unless there's a way through the collapsed cellar in the
south.
|
Imban:
|
Faiz, on the other hand, notices that
the "collapse" is entirely unnatural.
|
Imban:
|
And there's totally a door behind it.
|
Imban:
|
Amateurs. Not even collapsing things
right.
|
|
Faiz:
|
I FOUND A DOOR!
|
|
Reniss:
|
"Oh?"
|
|
Faiz:
|
I KIND OF FELL THROUGH IT.
|
|
Faiz:
|
THROUGH YOU.
|
|
Faiz:
|
ODDLY ENOUGH.
|
|
Faiz:
|
HOW DID YOU NOT SEE THIS THING?
|
Serra:
|
"As expected of Faiz. Let's get going,
then."
|
|
Reniss:
|
"It... uh."
|
|
Reniss:
|
"There's a door there?"
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
There either is now or will be after
he makes one.
|
|
Faiz:
|
JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE HALF ELVEN DOESN'T
MEAN YOU HAVE TO HALF LOOK AROUND TOO.
|
|
Reniss:
|
"Argh, just shut up and open it
already! Stupid!"
|
|
Faiz:
|
UH.
|
Faiz: (( roll that shit or just kick
through? ))
|
Adric Kain:
|
I think she likes you Faiz.
|
Reniss: (( just kick through ))
* Faiz is a spring breeze of demolition!
Faiz: (( AND JUST FOR GOOD MEASURE ))
|
Faiz:
|
Athletics = 29 Rolled: 17 Bonuses: 12
|
|
Imban:
|
Behind the door is a steep, narrow
path! Faiz keeps his footing, though.
|
Imban: (( Everyone else, roll Athletics as you
move down the path. ))
|
Faiz:
|
HAHA THESE ASSHOLES DON'T KNOW HOW TO
TUNNEL IF IT BIT THEM IN THE ASS.
|
Serra:
|
"And of course they HAVE to make these
hidden pathways treacherous...!"
|
* Mechalomaniac rolls: 1d20+1 Athletics Can I just ride Faiz like a
snowboard? => 19 + 1 = 20
* Threden rolls: 1d20+9 ROBOT BALANCE => 9 + 9 = 18
Faiz: (( Oh man ))
* Tilus rolls: 1d20+1 Serra, world track star! (Not) => 12 + 1 = 13
Faiz: (( Can I like... TERRAFORM THIS SHIT
and "help" the checks? ))
* Imban rolls: 1d20+4 Reniss Balance => 3 + 4 = 7
Imban: (( Well, you could, except everyone
already headed down... ))
Faiz: (( YOU ARE ALL JERKS AND SOME OF YOU
ARE BAD AT NOT SUCKING ))
Imban:
|
Faiz and Adric get out of the way as
Serra, Threden, and Reniss slide down head-over-heels and end up
in a pile.
|
* Faiz just... stares.
* Imban rolls: 1d6 => 1
|
Reniss:
|
Reniss loses 1 hit points.
|
|
Faiz:
|

|
* Imban rolls: 1d6 => 1

|
|
Faiz:
|
IT IS NOT HARD.
|
Serra:
|
"Owww oww owww..."
|
|
Faiz:
|
YOU DO NOT WALK WITH YOUR FACES!!
|
Serra:
|
"It is for someone who spent half her
life in a library like me!"
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
I'm a writer.
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
I stayed upright.
|
|
Faiz:
|
WHAT'S HIS EXCUSE!?
|
|
Threden:
|
OBSERVATION: Some creature fell into me
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
...goddamn bats.
|
Faiz: (( I'm starting to like this socialing
thing. ))
Imban: (( Minor reality quake. ))
Imban:
|
A flurry of movement erupts from the
shadows of the ceiling. Four enormous bats shriek as they drop
toward you, their bladed tails slashing the air!
|
Adric Kain: (( Do more show up for every
step we move? ))
|
Faiz:
|
OH GOD WHAT
|
|
Imban:
|
Unfortunately, they've ambushed you!
|
|
Adric Kain:
|
It sounds like goddamn bats.
|
* Shadowhunter Bat 1 slashes at Faiz with its
tail!
* Imban rolls: 1d20+10 vs. AC => 7 + 10 = 17
* Shadowhunter Bat 2 flies by and slashes at
Serra with its tail!
* Faiz tilts his head as he hears a
far-too-close scraping sound ._.
* Imban rolls: 1d20+12 vs. AC => 10 + 12 = 22
* Imban rolls: 1d6+4 => 6 + 4 = 10
|
Serra:
|
Serra loses 10 hit points.

too? ))
Shadowhunter Bat 3: (( No ))
* Serra Elan Barriers that.
Serra: (( I take 4 less damage. ))
* Shadowhunter Bat 3 flies by and slashes at
Faiz with its tail!
Serra: (( Healing button still broke. ))
|
Serra:
|
Serra is healed and gains 4 hit points.
|
Faiz: (( Goddammit I HATE THESE TYPES OF
THINGS ))
* Imban rolls: 1d20+10 vs. AC => 13 + 10 = 23
* Imban rolls: 1d6+4 => 2 + 4 = 6
|
Faiz:
|
Faiz loses 6 hit points.
|
|
Faiz:
|
FACE WHY

Serra with its tail!
* Shadowhunter Bat 4 does too.
* Imban rolls: 1d20+12 vs. AC => 8 + 12 = 20
* Imban rolls: 1d6+4 => 5 + 4 = 9
|
Serra:
|
Serra loses 9 hit points.
|
Serra:
|
"I am not tasty bat food, you creeps!"
|
|
Imban:
|
As the heroes ready up to fight the
bats in the dimly-lit cavern, hopefully Forge, Azar, and Wolfsbane
come down behind them!
|
|
Imban:
|
We'll find out next time...!
