There are two groups of Gray Maidens in the immediate area. A group of 5, casually shooting the bull after working a long shift at the graveyard wall, and a group of three clearly on guard at the door to the DollHouse.

The two groups are maybe 20' apart. Approaching either group will be noticed by the other group, though they're not likely to care or take much notice.

So, do you approach the on-guard, or the on-break?

Those on break.

Dandi approaches the ones on break, taking time to wander down to the other side of them if possible, so that they are between her and the official group on break.

"H-hello. I was hoping you could help me." She flashes a shy, disarming smile, and practices looking harmless. Her hair, dark nearly to a Chelish Black, sweeps into a soft braid that curls over one shoulder, hiding her scar, though it is nearly non existent. Her clothing is nice, but aged, as if the family has seen nicer days. And really, hasn't everyone? Her ears are rounded via the veil, helping her appear as human as the next person.

I think Fondo was coming with her, but I am uncertain and did not want to speak for him, just in case I was wrong.

Briar watches Dandi go from a distance (120'), hoping to help if things go badly.

You get the attention of the group easily enough. They pay little attention to you, though one does ask your business, "What sort of help do you need?"

Briar, the house does sit on a corner of sorts, and the road follows away in a more or less straight line, but you lose any sight of the house at 120'. The furthest you can be is ~50' and still see the proceedings. Just for fun, give me a perception to see how much of the conversation you can hear at that distance (probably quite a lot!).

Briar is also willing to climb to a roof, if necessary.

"I... I wish to talk to Sabina, Sabina Merrin? We knew each other once... but I've had no luck reaching her . I was hoping you could tell me the best way to do so."

Dandi wrote:

"This isn't what I had in mind. We should be hunting dragons, or mantises, or even wizards. They look like a nest of ants and we're the boot. There is nothing subtle here, and once we've kicked it, they'll be all the more likely to swarm."

She turns to the others blinking a little, as if coming back to herself a bit. "Does this seem right to you? I mean eventually, yes. But here, now?"

Barael nods. "That's why we don't want to kick. That brings the bite. If you think that you can speak with them and convince them to do what we would like them to do, then nudging isn't kicking. And you do have a way with nudging." Barael raises an eyebrow with a light smile. You've nudged Wyrms, what are ants to you, but... ants?

He watches Dandi walk up to the maidens, more worried for the maidens than for her. He tries to blend in, away from Briar and Nik, choosing to remain somewhat nearby.

Stealth: 1d20 + 21 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 21 + 3 = 33

She laughs and says easily, "No one reaches out to Sabina - she reaches out to you. If you've had no luck, it's because she doesn't want to see you. Now take off would you, we can't help you here."

Briar, I thought you wanted to be nonchalant? 'Flying' around on rooftops will be noticed. Those who see you might not care, but someone is bound to see you. Presuming you're 50' away for now, but please make stealth checks if you head to the rafters.

Oh, and with that role, you can hear just fine, though Dandilion and the Gray Maidens are not shouting. Barael doesn't catch the whole conversation, just bits and pieces carried on the wind.


Male Human (Init +7 | Per +16 | Fort +16 Ref +15 Will +11* +1 enchant, +4 language & sonic | AC 32 (f25/t19) | CMD36*)

Fondo accompanies Dandi up, counting on her to draw the Maiden out a bit before weaving his story.

At the Maiden's laugh, he gives a dry chuckle that mixes humility, respect, and an attempt at rapport. "Forgive us, er, milady. Our master asked us to deliver a message to her. Lady Sabina was his charge once. He has important information for her regarding... Well, it is a matter for the ears of she whom our queen chose to command her forces. He said Lady Sabina would want to know, but that it is for her ears alone. Do you know of some way we could get message to her?" He looks at the woman's metal helm with just enough deference.

Bluff: 1d20 + 20 + 20 ⇒ (4) + 20 + 20 = 44

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (17) + 26 = 43

+1 for Charming on both rolls if they be inclined towards menfolk.


The collective group laughs a little at the pair before them. "You give the message to me, I give it to the sarge here, she gives it to the captain, she gives it to the lieutenant, and so on until someone gives it to Sabina."

Another quips up, "Or you could just go to the castle and request an audience." - which garners a few chuckles as well.

Mirth spent, the sergeant (or at least someone of higher rank than the other four) speaks up, "That's your best bet actually. You want to talk to Sabina, go to the castle, but I warrant you'll get a chilly reception there. There are many rebels who would love to get alone time with Sabina if you know what I mean. She's well protected that our city may survive the recent troubles."


Male Human (Init +7 | Per +16 | Fort +16 Ref +15 Will +11* +1 enchant, +4 language & sonic | AC 32 (f25/t19) | CMD36*)

Fondo thinks quickly about any new information he may have gleaned about Sabina's relationship with Vencarlo, and of particularly well-defended places for a meeting.

Knowledge (Nobility): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Sighing inwardly, he presses on.

Fondo's acquired face takes on a worried and pained look. "Oh dear. Oh dear. Our master said we should only speak with General Merrin. Perhaps... Perhaps if we spoke with your captain directly, that would be enough. I apologize if this is an inconvenience, ma'am, but it seemed to be a matter of some... Delicacy and... Urgency. For the good of our great city." He smiles, oozing sincerity and respect.

Briar remains where he is, waiting for the outcome of whatever Dandi is doing.

C'mon, Waif. Suggest something.

"I think that sounds like what we'll have to do. I don't suppose you could introduce us to the captain? It's always nicer to meet someone with an introduction. It *is* very important." Dandi offers, agreeing with Fondo.


DM Rolls:
1d20 ⇒ 7

The sergeant laughs again, but not at you, more at their situation.

"Oh, we have no captain here. Well, we're supposed to have, but she got pulled for other duty. We're supposed to get another in a few days. I think Owanda is still here, but she's not in charge anymore."

"You really need to go to the castle. You'll get no help from a dim little outpost like this. You want to see the boss? You go to the bosses house.", she says with some conviction.

"I... I suppose we will have to try at the castle then. I just didn't want to bother more people than necessary. Thank you for your time." She nods and then motions to Fondo. They should go, these people cannot help them.

Fondo nods ingratiatingly at the maidens. No doubt their captain's Ileosa's newest whipping lass. He offers his arm to Dandi and walks back past the watching party, if she so consents.

Once around a corner, he suggests, "It seems their hierarchy leaves them ill prepared to send a message to their general. A force that's truly ill prepared to stop those who wish a changing of the guard. Let's check with Charlie briefly, 'fore we find another path."

Charlie’s scry… works! Charlie’s message… works!

He whispers a hello to Sabina and there is a little confusion at first as she believes he is Togomor, the Queens wizard and seneschal of Korvosa. That is sorted out quickly and Sabina grows quiet and uneasy. She is indoors during this scry, having a light breakfast at a desk piled high with maps of the city and other documents.

Charlie, as per his plan, acts as a mouthpiece for Vencarlo who speaks directly to Sabina and speaks from the heart. He entreats her to stop supporting the now obviously evil Queen. He speaks of her skill at arms and the beauty of her maneuvers and how that reflects an inner soul also beautiful and with a purity all her own.

He outlines the Queen’s crimes - her horrendous treatment of prisoners, the withholding of the cure from elements of the populous, the declaration of martial law and all the criminal activity going on under those auspices. He speaks openly about the Queen’s evil. He also talks about the dismantling of the cities defenses, the disbanding of the Sable Marines, the gutting of the Guard, the tearing down of the tallest military structure in the city. He fails to mention her dress however in his haste.

He wonders idly at what the Queen may have planned - what evils does Sabina herself know about that cannot be spoken of.

There is a pause, and Sabina seems unlikely to speak at first, but in the end she relents - and defends her Queen! In her tirade back at Vencarlo - her former trainer - she speaks even of the love and devotion the Queen shows her. She talks about the good things the Queen has done - some of which are things the party did, but the Queen now takes credit for (in particular the curing of the plague).

As she goes on and on, Charlies high Sense Motive reveals something clearly, Sabina is under the effects of an enchantment of some kind. She herself may not believe all the things she is saying, but there is a power speaking through her. A power that is controlling her.

When it becomes clear that simple communication will not win the day, Charlie ends the scry and looks to Vencarlo. Vencarlo looks tired, worn through. Charlie notices fresh injuries on the poor man who explains, ”It was a long night. I’ll be fine after I see the priests.”

Charlie lays a healing hand on Vencarlo He casts whatever is needed to make him whole over and above what the feast provides for him.

"It is hard to see a protege like this. Know this though. She is under the Queen's magical control and we will see to it that she will be free. Free of it by magic, not by force."

Charlie shares what is found during the scry with the party.


Vencarlo is about 80hp down and could use ~2 lessor restorations (5 str damage and fatigue). Use whatever resources you wish to heal him.


Male Half Elf (PER +8 | FORT+7 REF+5 WILL+13 | AC 23 (F23, T10) CMD10) Luckstone

Charlie will cast Heal on VC.

"We should make finding Sabina and curing her of her enchantment our first priority. When we do there will be all sorts of secondary benefits."


Yowzer, OK. The Heal spell cures all - so save your lesser restorations. :)

Vencarlo looks surprised at the older man, "Thank you." he stammers, clearly surprised at the power coming from his fingertips from those who so recently were weak by comparison.


Male Human (Per +18 | Fort +12 Ref +16 Will +12 | AC 24 (f 19/t 17)| CMD 30/f 25)

Barael chirps up as the scry is finished. "So, we need to subdue Sabina first, or do you have the means to shatter the enchantment before we come to blows?"


Male Half Elf (PER +8 | FORT+7 REF+5 WILL+13 | AC 23 (F23, T10) CMD10) Luckstone

I think a dispel magic will work?

I'd rather bring her to our side without attacking her, if we can."


Charlie would know that it should work with a little luck.

However, Break Enchantment will work even better - though it too requires some luck. It will at least affect every effect on Sabina while Dispel Magic will tear them down one at a time...


Male Human (Init +7 | Per +16 | Fort +16 Ref +15 Will +11* +1 enchant, +4 language & sonic | AC 32 (f25/t19) | CMD36*)

Fondo smiles at Charlie and Vencarlo as the party returns and takes a moment to peak in on Ruan. Returning, he says, "We shall not kill, that I promise true. Subdue her, yes, if fate should will it so."

Knowledge (Arcane) re: enchantments: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

"We may need stronger magics than the one that you suggest. But first we must locate and draw her out. Could you determine where she was?"

Turning to Vencarlo, he smiles. "You look well. Our Charlie's meals have that effect. Tell me: Has Blackjack shown his face in light of day? What do the smallfolk say of him these days?"

Vencarlo looks around, "Shhh. That persona is still a private one. I hear though that that scally-wag beat Trifaccia last night. Couldn't finish the job though as he was run off by a squad of Gray Maidens at the moment of triumph, but Trifaccia can be beaten. I would hazard a guess that he'll hunt for him tonight - if Trifaccia dares show his face in the city again."


Male Human (Init +7 | Per +16 | Fort +16 Ref +15 Will +11* +1 enchant, +4 language & sonic | AC 32 (f25/t19) | CMD36*)

"Did Blackjack happen to mention to your contacts anything about Trifaccia? Mayhap he could some help obtain from, say, a daft Varisian. Though first you should mayhap my sword arm test. A friendly duel?" He smiles, all friendliness and jest.


Vencarlo gives an odd measured look to Fondo.

"Don't you have better things to do with your time than spar with me? I know I do. Now that I am rested, I have another full day's activities working with the nobles. Then another night of combat and further work."

"What are you doing this morning? Same as yesterday? More meetings?"


Male Human (Init +7 | Per +16 | Fort +16 Ref +15 Will +11* +1 enchant, +4 language & sonic | AC 32 (f25/t19) | CMD36*)

Fondo smiles. "Finding ways to capture generals when we're called to leave the guard untouched... It takes a bit of planning, no? But have no fear, we shall pursue her 'fore the sun does set."

He puts his hand on the rapier at his waist, partially drawing it in a friendly fashion. "And has it ever hurt to bandy blades with one's true friends, in preparation for a fight? Or did your students merely sit around the school, learning from charts?" He gives a goofy grin that's clearly meant as friendly jest, not a true insult.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Vencarlo smiles, "That is a difference between you and I Fondo my friend. You are yet preparing for a fight. I'm already in one."

"If you'll excuse me, I have some nobles to convince of the Queen's treachery. Let me know if I can help any further."

Vencarlo bows and walks down to the tunnel and into the Vaults heading to the finer houses on the 'slopes.

"He's right about one thing. We need to move. My ideas didn't work out, so now we'll need another. How do we get to Sabina? It sounds like I might be able to help in a pinch, but I dont think I have magicks strong enough to make the job as quick as we might wish."

Her mouth twists like the ends of her hair as she considers the trip the maidens, so much wasted time.

"...but perhaps I can convince someone to take us to her, if we find someone that actually can."


Male Human (Init +7 | Per +16 | Fort +16 Ref +15 Will +11* +1 enchant, +4 language & sonic | AC 32 (f25/t19) | CMD36*)

Fondo sighs. "His soul's too weary for good-natured jest. But he speaks true. We need to act as one, and not withhold what assets we may bring to drawing out our prey."

He looks to Majenko. "My little friend, have you the means to locate our Sabina from afar? Or understand this scroll?" He takes out his scroll of locate creature. "Of course, a search for dragons might serve, as well. The spell extends, I think, for several hundred feet." 680 to be precise.

Majenko agrees readily, "So running water blocks the spell huh? Good thing the castle has no moat!" he laughs gleefully and takes the scroll.

"My, uh, scrying ability only reaches 500' and there are many areas of the castle and city that I cannot see. I wonder though. Maybe you could give Sabina a gift, a little Pseudodragon idol or painting or something. A wood carving maybe, or a bit of jewelry. Then I could see her for sure!"

"So when do I read the scroll. Now? Are we ready now? I can find her I'm sure of it. Let's go now." he hops up on Briar's shoulder with his scroll ready to go.


Male Human (Init +7 | Per +16 | Fort +16 Ref +15 Will +11* +1 enchant, +4 language & sonic | AC 32 (f25/t19) | CMD36*)

"We'll need a link with you that carries far. And then a plan to draw her out, unless you all would storm the castle's walls themselves...? I feel quite sure I have a chance to talk her free of Ileosa's hold, but there's no guarantee, and we know not what wards and guards await therein."

Thinking a bit more, a light turns on. "With my scrolls I could port three if us inside if the distance is not too great. Have you others means as well today?" Dimension door.

Yes, more talking, more planning. Fondo doesn't like it any more than I do. :-p


Male Half Elf (PER +8 | FORT+7 REF+5 WILL+13 | AC 23 (F23, T10) CMD10) Luckstone

"That sounds like something I can do, too. Once a day through my Ring of the Sophisticate, if Sabina is w/in about 400' I can hone in on her. We'll have about an hour and 20 minutes to find her."

ROS

"Alternatively, I wonder if attacking the DOLLwarrens might bring her to investigate."

Barael can't suppress a snort, as Vencarlo proves to be the better at parrying Fondo's puppydog pokes. "Trying to make a fool out of Vencarlo like you did with Nik, eh, Fondo? At a time like this?" Barael shakes his head, and snickers.

...

Barael listens as plans are recast. Broken blades can be reforged to keener purpose, so we'll take what we have and figure out how to reorganize our strength. His eyes barely glaze over, as something tells him that the next step is not too far away.


Male Human (Init +7 | Per +16 | Fort +16 Ref +15 Will +11* +1 enchant, +4 language & sonic | AC 32 (f25/t19) | CMD36*)

Fondo gives Barael a look that says, Are you nuts? "Brov, mine were words of play. Friends poke fun. There's love enough in finding mirth in times of strife. Alas, Signore's out for blood today. I pray we'll help him find some joy again ere long."

Was my tone not clear? Like writing on a page, without the melody of levity? Or has this civil war relieved him of all joy. That does indeed bode ill.

He nods at Charlie. "Always full of that what's perfect for the moment's need. You've managed much this morn. And Jell'enedra, let's not call your plan a waste. We've learned a lot. The Maidens are reliant on their captains to a fault. And they in turn rely on fair Sabina's word. Let's hope they'll act like men and not as chickens when they lose their head." He smiles. "Kako, shall we hunt?"

"I have a better idea. It is a magic-heavy solution and a touch more subtle. If Briar will cast Wind Walk on me and everyone else, I'll use the Locate Creature capabilities of my ring.

Briar nods at Charlie's suggestion.

"I could aid in a casting of Wind Walk, but it would not cover the party. A second would be helpful. Furthermore, we might be seen...but might also be mistaken for clouds," Briar replies.

Briar considers the weight of Charlie's plan.

"Wouldn't you be willing to ask Sabina to meet us first? Or just tell her we that we are going to assault her guardhouse at an appointed hour? That might draw her out. Unless we are willing to storm the castle, this plan might go no where."


I believe there is one, possibly two, scrolls of Wind Walk still in the party. Remember Laori cast the Wind Walk that took you back to Kaer Maga from Scarwall so your return trip scrolls were not used.

As for Sabina meeting the party somewhere, Charlie thinks that's unlikely given the way she was talking through the scry. It is possible she'd meet you to fight you - but she'd bring every available weapon to that fight, she would not underestimate you. So drawing her out will mean her plus who knows who or what else. I think. You may have a better plan than I can think of at the moment. :)

Korvosa does get some fog from time to time - usually in the early morning. It's still fairly early, so it's possible you could be taken for a few wisps of morning fog. Not a great chance, but not nothing either.

Fondo looks appreciatively at Kako, moving his head in a combination nodding and shaking motion. "If she's enchanted as you say, she'll come in force, not on her own. Or so I would suspect... To take to wind would be a boon, if for naught but quick escape should teleporting fail. We have a scroll, if Briar has another prayer. Were there windows in her office, through which a cloud might pass?"

He shrugs slightly, not wanting to be a killjoy. "In any case, methinks to teleport would be a quicker, more surprising entry, no? Flying, man-shaped clouds might still the guard forewarn. In any case, once we're inside, I may be able to with words entice her to cast off her chains." That is, the Shake It Off Inspiring Command.

Barael tries to follow the discussion of magical siege and espionage. He largely fails to follow, but understands that contingencies are being thought through. He hears Briar speak of assaulting the castle, and decides to speak in that moment.

"The castle really holds all of our focus. It contains Sabina. Togomor walks the halls, as does Mantis, likely. If we hit Sabina's office, and can secure her assistance, won't her office become a staging ground for our assault? Does the thing enchanting her stand a chance of understanding the moment in which the enchantment is lifted? Or might she be able to go about her business for the better part of the day, before raising alarms?" Barael eases up, trying to look a couple of moves ahead on the chess board, but getting frustrated with the complexity.

"I say we assault the castle."


Male Human (Init +7 | Per +16 | Fort +16 Ref +15 Will +11* +1 enchant, +4 language & sonic | AC 32 (f25/t19) | CMD36*)

"I'd sooner strike and bring her out, that she might turn her troops away from Ileosa's side. In any case, her knowledge could prepare us for a more full fledged assault. That is, if we can win her free of domination's call."

Briar rolls his eyes.

"I think that is...uh...less good plan," Briar says, trying to be diplomatic. "It doesn't make sense to me to attack the Castle. That is where Sabina AND Trogmor AND the queen are AND most of the Grey Maidens AND the supposed dragon," Briar continues. "We strike right into their strength when we could be dividing their forces."

"We should ask Sabina to come out...bring as many of her forces out as she wants. We can take them out...nonlethally if that makes you happy. I don't care one way or another."

Briar opines more.

"Or we could take down a few of the Statue stations. Kill or incapacitate the Maidens there...give their arms and armor to our people. We gain while they weaken."
