800 Dragon Break (Inactive)

Game Master GamerAim

In an 1800s-themed fantasy world that's forgotten its roots, you hunt undead, aberrations, monsters of all sorts. The public has to be kept in the dark, but whether under contract or going by your gut, you do everything in your power to keep them safe - whether they know it or not.

Rob responds rudely to Frank, "I'm not his boss and you aren't mine, buddy. I don't know who you are and I haven't even seen Timmy today, so if you aren't going to dance or buy, then shove off." He pushes your shoulder. "The only reason I'm letting you stay is because you're with Beth, and Beth is good people."

Lala watches as Cass engages the King in conversation, and Racine overhears something about a guy named Antonio. Cass seems to be looking for him, and the King points at a nearby door to what seems to be a VIP lounge area. Accordingly, she heads off in that direction, the two never giving any indication of sighting either Lala or Racine.

Racines keeps hiding between the crowd and the shadows, stalking Cassie. It would be easy, wouldn't it? Just say "Hi, guys, I have a problem, could you help me?" instead of luring us into an obvious trap. Oh, the evening is barely underway and I already want to shoot someone in the face. Bet ten silvers that I'm going to before midnight.

If someone guards the VIP Lounge
Racine stops just out of sight of the guards, bending a hand in a ritual gesture. In the softest voice she can muster without hampering her casting, she says the words to bind a microscopic portion of the universe's energy. "Tańczące światła"
Casting Dancing Lights as a humanoid figure to distract the guards, Stealth to slip in.

Lala quickly moves to join Racine as Cassandra disappears through the door, his long legs easily closing the distance. He spots the mage's gestures and waits patiently for the distraction, trying to slip into the VIP room right behind Racine once she starts moving.

You guys are gonna notice I like taking ten whenever I can, cause I'm gonna do it again for a DC 22 Stealth check.

Nothing wrong with taken 10, do it up ;)

"Easy there pal. I get it. You are not the one to talk to. I will keep that in mind when we divide up the score. I will be sure Beth gets something nice with what could have been your cut."

Frank turns his back on Rob and heads back to the dance floor. He takes a few moments to survey what has been going on while he was engaged.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16


Everyone gets 1 hero point. You can use your hero points as normal, but start with 0 (not including the one I just gave you), don't gain new ones at every level, can't take hero point feats, spells, or magic items, and can have a maximum of 6 points. I'll be awarding them for completion of certain tasks and all players will receive them, regardless of involvement in the particular scene.

Frank notices little more than before - Beth is dancing rather intimately with another young gentleman, people still look drugged out of their minds, and Caedus and Long are awkwardly trying to dance with the young two-legged folk. You notice two strange figures, whom you recognize as your friends, enter what appears to be a lounge area.

The VIP lounge is not guarded, and as you enter, you see how true that is. The "VIP lounge" is filled with kids getting stone-cold drunk, propping up on the walls, and lounging on overstuffed furniture with expressions of complete bliss - those who aren't passed out, that is. But it's the only place in the whole building to sit down in, so at least there's that.

Cass sees you enter, "Oh hey, sorry I've not been around. I'm looking for a...friend. His name is Antonio; have you seen him? He's dressed kind of like Timmy, but is more handsome and less of a slob. One of his friends said he last saw him in here - he was supposed to meet up with us here for my birthday!" Cass sounds excited but also melancholic as she speaks. "You're welcome to sit down and relax while I look for him." The answer is no, you haven't seen him.

"Relax?" says Racine, incredulous. "You mean taking a dose of... what are they taking? Dreamtime? Euphorica? Hazemind? Essence of Bliss? Cassie, I like you a lot, but I can't think of any reason you would come to a place like this! Or is it about Bethany?"
Her lips narrow, images of her mother flashing back in her mind. "This place is bad, Cass. Believe me or not, there are magic symbols on the walls, a focusing tablet on the ground, and these substances are just... evil. You can't tell me you don't see it. Please, I know we failed in the past, but if you could trust us, tell us what's wrong and let us help."

Frank waits and watches looking for his opening. When it comes he moves in bumping and pushing the young guy out of the way. He states dismissively without looking at the guy.

"Thanks for keeping her company. I got it from here." He then looks to Beth.

"Whats with Cass>? Haven't seen here since we got here. Thought she would come dance with us."


The Longstrider nods in agreement with Racine's disapproval, "Cassandra, this place isn't safe. These 'friends' of yours are up to something, and it's not some common drug ring." He places a hand on Cassandra's shoulder gently, "At the very least, let us stay with you and help find this Antonio fellow."


Beth laughs at Frank pushing the other man out of the way and continues dancing as she talks, "She's probably looking for that boyfriend of hers, Antonio. I introduced them, you know? He's one of the Kings, and was supposed to meet up with us when we got here. Who knows what he got up to."

Cass is taken aback at Racine's accusations, pushing Lala's hand away, "Geez, all I said was to sit down while I looked for my boyfriend, not to go get high as a kite! No one made you come, Racine, that was the one thing in my life you got to make a choice about. I know the Pigtown Kings are into drugs, but Beth and Antonio are different - and if you aren't going to help me find him, then at least stay out of my way and let me salvage some good part of this night!" She turns away and starts searching the room.

Boiling in rage, Racine strides away from Cass, heading towards the King the girl was talking to. Silly young girl, she's got no idea how dangerous these things can be. I've been hunting the things in the dark for half a century and she's so sure of herself as not to listen. Why do I have the feeling that this Antonio has met a bad end? Probably stumbled on something bigger than himself.
Intimidate: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
Grabbing the Pigtown King's shirt, forcing his eyes down on her, she speaks in a growl, making sure he sees the musket hidden beneath her cloak.
"Listen to me, you tupenny scum-dealer, I've little time and a bad temper. This club is one big flytrap, and my friend can't find a certain Antonio. You may think you're big and bad, but take this on faith, I've killed worse. Now tell me what's going on before I put a bullet in your brain and set fire to the place, not necessarily in this order."

"I see, well that won't sit well with the others knowing how uptight they are. Is he usually flaky? Or is he there when he says he will be?"

He asks Beth.


Lalavonvrei gives a heavy sigh at Cassandra's reaction and watches Racine storm out. He decides to fall silent, not wanting to upset the girl any further, but stays to keep an eye on her.

Caedus rubbed his temples. This was going to be a long night.
"Seriously, guys? How did you think that was going to go?"
Caedus will break off from the group, and find Cass. Once he finds her, he will adopt an apologetic tone.

"I'm sorry about them, Cass. Their hearts are in the right place, I promise. They're worried about you; it's just that their skill set is a bit more "blast an eldritch horror to smithereens" than "tactfully broach sensitive subjects with people they care about."

Caedus paused, considering his next words.
"I don't think any of us believes you've become an addict or anything like that," he began slowly. "That said, Beth's behavior is...concerning. As is this place. Apparently it's marked with eldritch sigils of some type...I didn't see them myself. But I trust the others; even if they've got all of the social grace of a blunderbuss. Just know that I always have your back. Please, don't hare off without us. I've got a bad feeling about tonight, and there's really nothing I want more than for you and Beth and Antonio to be safe and have a good time. I promise I'll do everything in my power to make that happen."


The intimidated King gives a sign to the bouncer that he's got things under control, fearing that if anyone else got involved, it'd end poorly for him. "L- look, alright. Antonio got here before all of us, it's the truth, I swear! I don't know here he is! But he tends to hang out in the lounge, so if you haven't found him, he's probably in there! I think it's his girlfriend's birthday, so I bet he's throwing her a party or something, okay? Please don't hurt me."

Beth responds, "I don't know, but I'm sure he's around here somewhere. He tends to arrive early to prepare things."

Cass warms up to Caedus, "Thanks. I know they mean well, but- this is my life and I can handle myself. Those weird sigils are just decorative - the theme of the club of mysticism and transcendence. Not everything in my life is some monster that needs hunted. The only demon's are mine and Beth's. Please just...look for someone who looks like a more handsome and less slobby Timmy." She turns around to continue looking, when she spots someone passed out in a corner - Antonio. Excited, Cass runs over and jumps onto Antonio’s lap, saying, "Wish me a happy birthday!" As soon as the words escape her mouth, Antonio’s head, previously obscured by a brimmed hat, lolls back and Cass lets out a piercing, sustained scream.

"Good, lets not worry about it then." He grabs Beth and pulls her in close as if about to kiss her but instead whispers to her.

"I could drink a ale. Want one?" He then dips her and then spins her a step away when bringing her back up. He then approaches the bar and motions for two drinks.


Lalavonvrei gives a small smile as Cassandra seems to spot her boyfriend and runs off to talk with him. He almost turns around to say something to Caedus before the girl's shriek of terror has him speeding over to see what's wrong.

Doc had been carefully dancing a young lady toward the VIP section.
If you call this flapping somnabulism 'dancing'

Fortunately, he heard the familiar shriek over the music. He quickly kissed the girl's hand and spun her into another group of dancer's before sliding through the unguarded entrance to the lounge.

Despite his injury, Caedus is at Cassandra's side in a flash, weapon and shield making their way into his grasp. Caedus looks at Antonio.
What does he see?


Female Elf Magus (Eldritch Archer, Kensai) 5 / Fighter (Lore Warden) 1 | HP 40/40 | AC: 21, T: 19, FF: 12| Fort: +5, Ref: +5, Will: +5 | BAB: +4, CMB: +5, CMD: 23, R.Attack +10 [2d10+1]| Init: +3 | Perception: +12 | Arcane Pool 7/7

Racine snarls at hearing Cass scream. Lalavonrei, keep her safe, I'll be back there in a flash.
"That's half of the question, piggy boy, now for the second part. What's with the drugs, the symbols and the dancefloor? I don't think you have the skills to work with that kind of energy, so who, or what built this place? What's its purpose? Don't say it's just a club or so help me the ancestors, I'll burn it to the ground."


Upon hearing the scream, Beth is startled, knowing full-well what Cass sounds like when distressed, "Cass?!" and runs off to the lounge. She pushes through all the people to get a look at the scene, and puts her hand over her dropped jaw as her eyes widen in horror and surprise. You look at the corpse, and if it is Antonio, he's aged about 50 years - what you're told is a 20 year old man looks about 70. The scream attracts people to the scene, and the bouncer by the stage moves cautiously towards the lounge to investigate. You have about one or two more rounds (i.e. GM posts) until he arrives.

The man Racine is intimating is startled by the shriek, "What was that?! Is something going on? L- look, I just sling the product, okay? Only Timmy, Kenny, Joey and Antonio know any more. I just work here, I don't run the place! People come, enjoy the faux-mystic aesthetic, dance and do drugs. If there's anything more, I don't know about it! Please don't burn it down I need this job."

Ah, wasn't sure we would be able to hear it so didn't respond.

As Beth is alerted Fran too hears the shriek. He follows behind Beth helping her to push through the crowd. Upon sight of the body he takes her hand.

"Don't look." Knowing by the crying Cass and Beth's reaction that this must be Tony.

Well that can't be right. He is aged way past his time. A ghost? Only thing I know of that can age people supernaturally.

Frank looks to his companions standing around. As he tries to comfort Beth.


Lalavonvrei gently pulls Cass away from the body, handing her off to Beth and Frank. He turns to the others and mutters, "What do you guys think? Some sort of draining? Vampire, Succubus?" His hand rests anxiously on the magic pouch concealing his rifle and glances at the door, "Think the bouncers will give us any trouble?"

Frank looks to Logstrider then to the crowd then back to Longstrider and shakes his head.

"Smooth Lala smooth. What the hell you talking about? Just an old dead guy. What none of you seen a dead guy before. Get back to your parties." Frank starts trying to disperse the crowd.

"Go on, go on. Nothing to see here."


Female Elf Magus (Eldritch Archer, Kensai) 5 / Fighter (Lore Warden) 1 | HP 40/40 | AC: 21, T: 19, FF: 12| Fort: +5, Ref: +5, Will: +5 | BAB: +4, CMB: +5, CMD: 23, R.Attack +10 [2d10+1]| Init: +3 | Perception: +12 | Arcane Pool 7/7

Of course I find the guy who knows nothing. Just my luck.
"Get an honest job." she snarls. "Life expectancy is low in this field."

She then runs back to the scream, taking in the surreal scene. "Not good, not good at all. What do you make of this, Doc? Wykrycie magii."

Opening her senses to magic again, she looks closer at the corpse. What makes a man look like this? Magic? Undeads or outsiders, as Lalavonrei said?

Caedus put a hand on Cass's shoulder.
"We need to get him out of here. We need to see if we can puzzle out what has happened."

Caedus looked over at his companions.
"Cover for us; we need to examine the body. Tell them we're just escorting a drunk friend home...we don't want to deal with this here."

Caedus moves to gather up the body, planning on carrying it as one would escort a drunk friend through a club.


HP 22 | AC/T/FF 17/17/14 | CMD 20 | F/R/W +1/+7/+8 | Init +3; PER +12 |

Doc can't spare time to console Cassandra. He looks to the corpse and what's around it in situ to make sure no clue is missed.

After a brief examination, he says quietly, "I need time alone with him." His eyes slide pointedly over to Cass, indicating that in addition to outsiders, she absolutely shouldn't be there... so whatever he has in mind, it isn't pleasant.

I'm good with trying to get the body out the door but with the shrieking, it may be too late to pass him off as a drunk. It might be easier to try to get him out of sight if there is a panic over the death.

Not sure what checks are appropriate, so here's a bunch. I'm looking for any sign of injury and/or what might have caused it, or creatures that might be the cause.

Frank is able to keep everyone away from the body while Long and Racine look it over, but can't stop curious people from looking over at it - regardless of what Frank says, the shriek, Caedus and Beth trying to comfort Cass, and the party's interest in the body makes them wonder what is going on. Then the bouncer arrives, pushing his way past the drugged-out clubbers, and confronts Frank "What's going on over here?!" He knows that something is up, and when one of the civilians tells him that someone died, he has no choice but to assume it's the truth, "What?! Everyone clear out and go contact the police!" He looks the party over, "Tell me who you are and let me see the body," he demands of Frank.

Racine doesn't detect any magic radiating from the corpse, and Long cannot determine an accurate biological cause of death under these stressful circumstances. All they notice on the body is a dogtag around his neck that confirms his identity as that of Antonio Burns, age 21. The dogtag is marked with a symbol that looks like an upward arrow behind the letters "PK." While they can't pin exactly what did this, it does appear to be some sort of age or energy drain - possibly a ghost, vampire or other form of negative energy creature or outsider, or some form of powerful spell or alchemical agent.

"PK? Pigtown Kings, likely. Oh, this smells. I was in the police for a while, I can try to deal with them, but there's no love lost between us. We'd better get to the Kings."

Intimidate: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
"You want to know who we are? We're your best chance of getting out of the evening alive. Tell me where Timmy, Kenny and Joey are, and tell me now, or we're going to leave you to the mercy of whatever killed Antonio."

"Hello friend. Look, I get it your paid to keep the place running smooth and the people safe. Who I am, doesn't matter. Is there a dead guy? Sure. Can you do anything about it? Nope. So go back and make sure people get out of here without trampling one another. They don't pay you enough to cross me friend."

He places his hand on the bouncers shoulder and squeezes a bit. Showing his strength and sheer size advantage.

"Do the right thing here buddy. We are trying to help the Piggy kings out here."

He then looks over to Racine.

"Yo. Rac, have a little tact. Why don't you go help Beth. You want the pigs, there up on the stage. I got this. No reason to get our friend all excited here by making threats."

I swear all these guys don't try and protect the public at all. I thought I was brash and strait forward.

Doc plays off the bouncer's words and authority, addressing the watchers remaining in the VIP lounge as well as the others in the doorway. "You heard the man - clear out! The police will be coming soon... and you don't want to be caught here stoned, do you? Now, leave in an orderly fashion. You've got a few minutes."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23 to persuade others

I'll wait until we've got some privacy before doing anything else.


Lalavonvrei gives a heavy sigh as the bouncer steps in and interrupts their hasty investigation. While not usually the best choice for dealing with people, he decides to help Long clear the room and hopefully convince the bouncer to let them work. "Stay calm and leave everything to us. We'll have this all taken care of as quickly as possible."

Aid Other: 1d20 ⇒ 20


The bouncer stands up to Racine, "I'm a bouncer, not a babysitter, and the only reason I haven't bounced you is because your friends are either helpful or crying." he looks over at the corpse, which looks much older than the bouncer knows Antonio as, "Funny, the dead man has the same name as a guy who works here." He turns to Long, "You seem to be a doctor, so I'll leave you with the old guy while I get these people out and let the police in. Old guy probably just wanted to go out blazing, but I want to keep this on the up-and-up, so everyone who saw anything needs to stay until you've given a statement. The last thing I need is my boss getting on me about the police." The bouncer starts ushering all but about a half-dozen other people out.

Bethany leaves Caedus to comfort Cass as she confronts the group, "What the hell is going on here?! That- that can't really be Antonio, right? I mean, he wasn't the nicest-looking guy on the block, but he wasn't that! Now Cass is crying and the police are coming, and what are we supposed to say?"

You have about 2-3 minutes until he returns with the police. If you want to take any actions before then (heck, you might even want to leave before then), you can.

Doc nods to the bouncer, reinforcing the man's misinformed ideas and lets him get about clearing the room.

Alright, guys, how do we play this? I've got a spell that may be helpful but it will take a minute to cast plus it will seriously freak out the normals. So, we can either try to get time with the body alone after the cops have it which may be problematic - or some of you folks will have to clear the room (especially Cass and Beth) so I can get to work.

Turning towards the room, Racine whispers to Frank in a casual tone. "Call me Rac one more time, Steel, and I'll shoot you in the face."

I don't know how we could get people out of the room, considering the bouncer is intending to keep them inside. I could weaken him with a Ray of Enfeeblement, but I don't know if it'll help.

Caedus can help Cass better than I could. Let's try Beth. "What you say, Beth, is that you came here and found him like that, which is the truth, as far as you're concerned. We'll find out later what really happened. Probably an overdose of some new drug, would you know anything about it?"


HP 22 | AC/T/FF 17/17/14 | CMD 20 | F/R/W +1/+7/+8 | Init +3; PER +12 |

Good point, Racine. GA could you give us a better idea of how many civilians are in the room? Is the bouncer making sure the club is empty and basically trusting us to keep the witnesses near the VIP section? In other words, is there some way I can sling magic and the results unobserved or are we out of luck there?

Frank gives a "Yeah Sure" nod toward Racine.

He then starts rounding up people with the bouncer.

"Alright, the cops are not going to be happy if all these people are left hanging around the crime scene. Doc has it under control." He looks to the bouncer.

"Help me get these folks back out in the club area. I know you wouldn't want the cops telling your boss how "good" of a job you did by allowing the crime scene to get all mucked up."

Frank nods to Doc.

Not sure what you got planned old man but make it quick. The elf definitely has some anger issues. May not be suited for field work.


Beth eyes Racine distrustfully, "I've never seen a drug that could do this before!"

Meanwhile, the bouncer, sufficiently persuaded, moves the civilians out into the dancefloor. "I'll give you a few minutes to console your friend while the police question the others. I'll bring them in when we're done in here."

Sorry it took so long! I waited until Monday because Frank and Caedus were out, and then I had stuff come up (some unexpected, some expected). AFAIK, I should be good to reply every day for the foreseeable future (well, maybe not the 25th)!

Caedus gently grabbed Cassandra by the shoulders.
"I'm so sorry, my dear. I know it's hard, but I need you to try to focus for me. Had anything about Antonio struck you as odd recently? Do you have any idea what may have caused this? I'm afraid it's too late for him, but if we can find out what happened we may be able to prevent similar horrors from occurring."

No worries GM, I don't usually post on weekends at I travel a lot and hate posting from phone. We are gone pretty much every weekend until the 2nd or 3rd one in February :)

Frank continues to help and escort all non essential people out of the VIP area. Once done he returns shutting the door.

"Alright we have a few minutes. If we move the body the police are not going to like that. Let's just be cool answer any questions and let them be on their way. We can get all the time we want with the body if we visit at the morgue. Late at night should only have one or two guys. Should be easy to persuade or buy some time with the body."

Frank waits a few moments to see if everyone is in agreement. If there are no objections he opens the door to the VIP area back up and awaits the police arrival.


"N- no," Cassandra responds as she pushes back tears to speak, "He seemed fine when we talked yesterday, and he said he'd be here tonight." She looks at the body, and bursts once more into tears.

I'll bring in the police tonight or tomorrow morning if no one has anything else to add.


The bouncer leads two members of the SCPD into the room with you. They both walk silently over to the body, and one leans down to investigate, while the other man, older with a graying mustache, takes off his hand and speaks in a thick drawl, similar to Timmy and his friends, but without the slang to muddy it up, "My condolences," he says as he puts his hand on Cass' shoulder to comfort her, "It's truly awful to encounter such a grisly scene so unexpectedly." he says to comfort her, before turning to the party, "Now, if you could all tell me, one at a time, please, what happened here, I'll let you get on your ways. I understand it may be hard, so do take your time."

Racine sighs in relief, since she knows none of the two policemen. She looks up to them and speaks calmly, apparently untroubled by the nearby body.
"We had come here for Cass' birthday, and we found the corpse while looking for her boyfriend."
I have a license for my rifle, but let's just hope they don't notice it under the cape.

Technically not a lie, does someone want to bluff?

"Exactly as my friend said. We're old friends of Cassandra and came into town for her birthday. She wanted to come to this club, and we were looking for her boyfriend when we happened across this poor soul. He was like this when we found him."

Doc adds in less consequential facts. "My name is Long, Officer. I'm on the faculty of the University of Heath-Uxbridge. I was dancing with a young lady just outside the lounge when Cassandra cried out. I came in immediately... the sad scene was as they described. Knowing you gentlemen would be arriving shortly, we secured the body and made sure it wasn't touched more than necessary to ascertain the man was truly beyond help."


"I see. I will have to ask for all of your names just as record of the happenings, but depending on what my young associate says, I think I can let you go on your ways." The younger man checking the body stands up, He's dead, Jim, he says to the older cop, handing him the dogtag found on the body, "Near as I can tell, it was just old age, which is funny because it says here his name is Antonio Burns, age 21, which means he either stole this, or it's an old tag. No idea what these letters here mean, though." Jim holds the tag in front of you, "Anyone know what these letters mean, or recognize the name?"

"Letters?" Doc says, moving over to look at the characters and avoid that pesky question about the victim's name.

Nice Trek reference! Are these characters in a standard language or something that requires a roll?

"Well seems you boys have it under control from here. Beth, help me with Cass, we should get her home." He then looks back to the officers.

"Steel, Frank Steel. For your records. Same as the others said. "

Racine tries to subtly motion Cassandra not to say anything.
Bluff(secret message): 1d20 ⇒ 19

"My name is Racine Meweli. M-E-W-E-L-I. Do you want me to write it in Elvish?"


"No, I think I've got everything alright. You folks best be off on your way, now." the older officer says, motioning for you to leave while him and the younger man wrap things up.

Caedus nods, puts a comforting arm around Cassandra, and moves to leave.
