Korihor grumbles to herself. "I hate riddles." She paces, agitated, as the others discuss the riddle. "Is it possible to do this on the move?"

Zevon turns to his companions:

"to summarize: some of the clues possibly point to the lava tubes below Cauldron. Rumor has it that some of them might have formed quite big caverns. Unless you can make something of the other clues or know someone who can guide us down there, I think our best bet is still the orphanage."

kn.local about guide or s.o. who knows the lava tubes 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

"so I agree with Korihor - Let's go


ZEVON you know of one group thats been in the lava tubes and its the storm blades,the other local adventuring group the captain warned you about


Male Goblin Wizard 1 HP:17 /17 AC:16 F+4 R+6 W +5 Perception:+3

Yes, the clues may make more sense as we to along.


As you leave the temple for a second time is the group taking the same route to the orphanage you see the city streets still quite busy with merchants and patrons buying and selling thier wares.upon arrival you all notice the orphanage is well kept,a short staircase leads up to well made iron-banded wooden door. A large door knocker in the center.


Korihor strides up the stairs, banging the knocker. "You think kids from the streets bang this knocker and run off, just to drive the adults crazy?" she says with a smirk to Lumen.


Female Duskblade 4

"Without a doubt," Lumen replies with a grin. She stands a few steps below the landing so as to be at likely eye level with the person opening the door.


As you wait for someone to answer the door, you can hear childern playing and laughing within the building


Male Goblin Wizard 1 HP:17 /17 AC:16 F+4 R+6 W +5 Perception:+3

As they wait, Daxur gazes up at the building, trying to see the physical security measures.


you see reinforced barred windows and narrow ledges under them impossible to climb in or out of the windows


Female Duskblade 4

"Whoever took these kids didn't use a window"


male human Fighter 3/Urban Ranger 1 (HP 45/55 -- action points 6/7 - perception +8)

while we're waiting, Zevon looks out on the streets to see if anybody is paying attention to them - particularly if the elves have followed them to the orphanage.

spot 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 edit: nevermind I guess

"Our prior captive used a form of magic to assume a mist for and escape her bonds. If the same agency did kidnap these children, it stands to reason they might have used similar means."


"I was thinking the same thing, Three." Korihor says, looking back down the stairs at the rest of the group. She lifts the knocker again, banging the plate hard. "Lets hope they didn't use a device on the kids similar to what they sent me." she says under her breath.


A couple of more minutes pass when you hear an small voice say:who is it its not visiting day come back tomorrow.


"Zevon, Lumen. If you would be so kind." she says, gesturing at the door and stepping aside.


Female Duskblade 4

Lumen moves up a few steps drawing her massive sword as she does.

"Whoevere's in there... you have three seconds to either open this door or move away before we break it down. We are investigating on behalf of the watch."

"3..."

Intimidate 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14


you hear the woman shift behind the door, when she says; Go away who ever you are you cant have any of my childern,I will have Captain Skellrang haul you to the stocks. Prove that you are with the watch! Let me see your papers!


Female Duskblade 4

"Through a closed door? How's that supposed to work?"

"....2"

At Lumen's words Beauregard's face meets his palm. When the Chatelaine of the Orphanage calls out with rightful concern he takes a deep breath & interposes himself between Lumen & the door. "Perhaps a slightly less...
aggressive approach might be called for?"

Turning back to the door, "I should very much like to show you my affidavits gentle goodwife, unfortunately I can hardly do so through this door." Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
Motioning the others back a few paces, "If you would be so kind as to provide a means whereby I might present you with my particulars?"


I want proof or the stocks for you,hold your papers to the window by the steps. you see a window on each side of the staircase,and at least a foot away.


Halfling Rogue 3/Sorcerer 1 30/39 HP, AC 16/t14/ff14, F 4, R 6, W 6, Init +3, Listen +10, Spot +3

Beauregard pulls out his papers, folding the booklet open to the House Jorasko seal prominently displayed therein.


why good man,you remind me of my grandson, I'll open the door please have your papers ready. Skellrang would have gave you a letter of marque that the temple of the Host has hired you


and she opens the door slowly,


Halfling Rogue 3/Sorcerer 1 30/39 HP, AC 16/t14/ff14, F 4, R 6, W 6, Init +3, Listen +10, Spot +3

Beauregard will have that (the commission) out for her to see once she opens the door. As the bolts throw he will turn back to the others,

Sense Motive DC 20:

untrained Bluff: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20, to subtly relay the message to the others that they should be ready for trouble, but not start it.


you see an aging halfling woman in her mid-seventies How may i serve you Master Jarasco? Please forgive me,I have been jumpy as of late.

Engineer stands impassive and quiet.

His presence is all the intimidation he really needs.


Female Duskblade 4

Lumen looks down at the woman and nods in approval before sheathing the greatsword on her back.


Halfling Rogue 3/Sorcerer 1 30/39 HP, AC 16/t14/ff14, F 4, R 6, W 6, Init +3, Listen +10, Spot +3

"Being presently without portfolio from my House at the moment, I have taken the opportunity to assist Captain Skellerang in this matter. I was informed by Priestess Jenna & he that you might better answer certain of the questions that have arisen. I & my associates also hoped that a personal physical examination of the site might also provide answers."
If necessary, Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11. Not certain if my previous roll is still in effect or effective. Although with that roll, I hope it was...


Male Goblin Wizard 1 HP:17 /17 AC:16 F+4 R+6 W +5 Perception:+3

Daxur eyes wide from expecting certain disaster from Lumen's more aggressive strategy, visibly relaxes as Beauregard's excellent diplomatic efforts achieve success.

"If it wouldn't be too much of an imposition Chatelaine."


male human Fighter 3/Urban Ranger 1 (HP 45/55 -- action points 6/7 - perception +8)

Zevon turns to the mistress of the orphanage:

"Good morning, Mrs Tashykk. Sorry for the rude behaviour earlier, but since the Captain & Priestess Jenna asked us to help them yesterday evening, we had our fair share of trouble with the Last Laugh - who seem to be involved with the missing children as well. So, you're not the only one who is more edgy lately. But that tale is better told inside.


Female Duskblade 4

Lumen shrugs as the others trip over each other apologizing.


Korihor leans in to whisper to Lumen. "Why are they apologizing? It could have been a kidnapper, or a Last Laugh member in there, telling us to go away." When Lumen shrugs knowingly, Korihor rolls her eyes.


your first roll works with grechten

Please Master Jorasco,you and your associates come in and I will the best i can. Would you like some tea and crumpets?

"I require no tea or crumpets. I appreciate your offer, however."


How about everyone else?


Female Duskblade 4

"No thank you."

Lumen stands near the window strategically placed in regard to the door, occasionally glancing outside.


Male Goblin Wizard 1 HP:17 /17 AC:16 F+4 R+6 W +5 Perception:+3

Smiling his toothiest most charming smile, Daxur sketches a bow to the woman and says "I'd be delighted"


She rings a bell,moments later a human male in his late forties enters the room. Grechten says:Get our guests some tea and crumpets please. He nods and exits the room, a few minutes later carrying a tray with the the goodies. Ask your questions, but I told the watch and two elves all I know.


"Who are the elves?" Korihor asks her. "I'll bet she didn't tell them that." she whispers into Three's ear-plate with a mischevious smile.


thier names are, let me think ah yes Fellian Shard and Fario Ellegoth they were hired by the Lord Mayor Vhalantru


"Hired by the Mayor to do what?"


To find the childern as you all are doing. That is what you are doing is it not?


Korihor turns to the others. "Beauregard, you have a kidnapped orphan in your pack?"


How can that be!yells grechten


Korihor smiles at her. "You see? It's not alchemy. We don't have the kids. So why are these elves following us? They may as well follow The Lord of Blades."


I told you they seek the childern the letter of marque had the mayhor seal! and she passes out


Blythe looks at the woman unconcious on the ground. "By the Six." she seeths.

Looking up at the others, she sighs deeply, clearing herself for a moment. "I will stay with her. Look around. Question everyone. Let's see what we see, rather than what she sees." She picks up the small woman gingerly, and places her on a couch. "She'll need a blanket. And someone should get on the roof to watch for those elves. I don't trust them anymore than a Lhazaaran Prince offering me his hand."


this a big house with 11 total bedrooms,den,dinnning room ,kitchen,sitting room, sunroom. Who is going where and talking to whom.

"It may be best if I remain on watch for the elves following us, as well as any enemies which may approach. My skills lie apart from traditional interrogation techniques."

Engineer pulls out his crossbow and tinkers with it a bit, before taking up a position on the roof.
