Male Human Ranger/3

Fresh air, well as fresh as air can be in this town. I hate being cooped up inside buildings. It will be nice to be in the forest again. Hopefully we'll leave soon for Ravenmoor; it will be good to be on the road again.

Tomas finds a nearby tree and sits down placing his pack next to him and his bow across his lap. He pulls out a knife and a piece of wood and starts whittling away humming a song his grandfather use to sing to him.


Seeing that you are all on board and that you're ready to head out Jeminda smiles "Thank you all for agreeing to help me. I believe you have all the information you need. Taking the land route should put you in town just in time for their monthly harvest festival. I've never been to one but I've heard great things so if you get a chance I would check it out. Come find me in the tax office in Magnimar with your findings." With that she says her goodbyes and heads out, taking care of the bill for any food and drink that the party had ordered as an extra act of kindness. She also requests that the barmaids stop serving Eve as she's noticed that the woman isn't holding her ale very well tonight.


Male Half-Elf Urban Ranger/3

Linflass watches her go. Then he turns to his new companions.

So. Should we meet at the northeast gate in two hours and head to Ravenmoor?


Warpriest 1 HP:9/9 AC:16:12:14 Saves:3:2:5 Init: +2 Skills: Dip +5, Per +7, Sense +5, Stealth +2

Eve looks pass the window to the outside from her seat and says

"The sun will set in about three to four hours, and traveling at night is not the brightest idea.
That and the wind looks like it's blowing from the northwest, meaning a storm is also coming. I can tell the wind from the trees outside in the distance.
So I think we should spend the night here and go in the morning when the storm has past, and the sun will be up."


Male Human Cleric/Level 3

"Let us leave in the morning then"


Does everyone have enough gold for a room at the inn? It will cost 5 silver/room. I'm going to assume that someone is going to go find Tomas and suggest that he find shelter.


Male Human Cleric/Level 3

Eldwin has enough gold


Warpriest 1 HP:9/9 AC:16:12:14 Saves:3:2:5 Init: +2 Skills: Dip +5, Per +7, Sense +5, Stealth +2

She has more than enough silver, and she inform Tomas of their plans outside and relay the info on Ravenmoor culture.


Male Half-Elf Urban Ranger/3

Linflass, who had just arrived yesterday, sighs as he thinks about tomorrow's trek back home. I am going to get some air. I will be ready at dawn.

Nodding farewell, he heads up to his room to puts his bow under his bed. Then he goes out into the town.

GM:

He is going to try and learn anything he can about Jeminda and her brother in law.

Knowledge - Local roll gets +2 with humans.

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

He has money.


Male Human Cleric/1

Tomas has enough but decides to sleep under the stars.

Brand nods to Eve as she approaches and puts away his knife and block of wood. He stands while she tells him of the groups plan to stay in town for the night. When she finishes he picks up his pack and he tells her he prefers to sleep under the stars and he'll meet the group in the morning at the northeast gate.

He then heads out of town to set up camp and forage for food.

Survival Check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10


Female Halfling Rogue 3

Norn can afford a room


Warpriest 1 HP:9/9 AC:16:12:14 Saves:3:2:5 Init: +2 Skills: Dip +5, Per +7, Sense +5, Stealth +2

as Tomas goes to the woods she says aloud
"You do know a storm is coming in from the northeast for the night right, and it looks like a good sized one to boot."


Linflass:
You go around town and gather as much info as you can. You're able to figure out that Jeminda has been working as a low level bookkeeper for the last 5 years and is very afraid of making a mistake and loosing her job. Her younger sister Emma is the one that married Elias and it put a lot of strain on the relationship between Jeminda and Emma. It's known around town that Elias is a fall down drunk who has anger issues when he's been drinking. His reputation for getting kicked out of every bar in Magnimar stands strong to this day. There are a few that think that Elias was physically abusive towards Emma and his temper when drinking helps support this theory but Emma always denied any accusations. You get the feeling that it was Emma that suggested Elias go and collect the taxes and that Jeminda was very reluctant but eventually gave in. Things have only gotten worse between the two since Elias has disappeared.


Male Human Ranger/3

At Eve's words Tomas looks up at the sky to see if she is correct in her prediction of a coming storm. Survival check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

If there is a storm coming he will change his mind and get a room for the night.


It does look like rain

The next day comes sooner that some of you would wish with the rather long journey you have ahead of you. You all meet at the Northeast gate.


Male Half-Elf Urban Ranger/3

Linflass, having taken a good breakfast at the inn, was first to arrive at the gate and waited for his comrades.

I guess we'll find out how we will get along on this long trip.


Male Human Ranger/3

Tomas glances around the group gathered outside the northeast gate as he adjusts his backpack. "Myself and another person could scout ahead this way we can avoid potential ambushes; that is if everyone is in agreement.", he says to the group.

Does anyone have a horse that Tomas can hang his pack on?


You guys will be traveling by land so horses will be suggested. If you mention that your on official city business you might even be able to get them for free.


Female Halfling Rogue 3

Norn is quite willing to rent out horses.


Male Human Ranger/3

Tomas will try to requisition a horse using the reason of official city business.


You guys head to the stables in town and while they are a little suspicious at first if any of you shows them the note from Jeminda the stable master will give in and give the party free horses. You'll have to bring the back when you're done of course.

You guys head out. You travel through foothills, forests, and marshland on your way to your destination. From Magnimar you head along the Lost Coast Road and take that into Galduria, arriving in around 3 days. From there you take a well traveled road on the western shore of the Lampblack river. You take this path until it splits north towards Riddleport. Instead of following it north you break off on a trail that seems like time has forgotten. The further east you head the more and more bleak the landscape becomes. You've seen nothing but moores and swamps for the last 3 and a half days and the ravens hover constantly over head during the day. At night the mosquitoes come alive and you spent most of last couple of nights swatting bugs instead of sleeping. You're bones grow tired of being on horse back for so long but finally you make it to your destination in a little over a week.

As you approach Ravenmoor I need Linflass to make me a perception check.


Male Half-Elf Urban Ranger/3

Perception:
1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28

Along the way, with much time to chat, Linflass had revealed the following to the party:

I found out a few things before we left town. Elias is a drunk. An angry drunk who causes trouble in taverns. Jeminda's sister pressured her into getting him this assignment. Probably had some hope of getting him 'straightened out'.

He rolls his eyes.

Didn't work out too well, eh?

When we get home..er, to Ravenmoor, we have two ways to start.

I'll begin asking around the drinking spots. I guess someone can come along. The rest should go to the town hall. Find out what they can about the official side of his visit.

He laughs. I'd bet we learn more from my side of things.

He also shared some more information about Ravenmoor, but nothing important to the task at hand.


Male Human Ranger/3

During the journey to Ravenmoot started training his horse for combat. Each evening after camp is set up.

Tomas nods in agreement with Linflass and says, "I'll tag along with those going to townhall." looking to the others to see where they stand.


Female Halfling Rogue 3

"Townhall it is then."


"I'll go with Linflass and have a few drinks"


Warpriest 1 HP:9/9 AC:16:12:14 Saves:3:2:5 Init: +2 Skills: Dip +5, Per +7, Sense +5, Stealth +2

Though a few drinks sounds good, it would be better to investigate while sober.


Before you guys split up you all hear a little boy calling "“Aaaaaaplesaaaauce! Here boy! C’meer boy!”" followed by some whistling, as if he were calling a dog. Linflass you spot the son of a villager on the side of the road, looking through the weeds. He straightens up a little and calls out again. [b]"Aaaaaplesaaaauce...where are you boy!" As he straightens up Linflass recognizes the boy as Ornigaard Korzha, the son of one of the local farmers. Linflass also knows that Applesauce is Ornigaard's pet stirge.


Warpriest 1 HP:9/9 AC:16:12:14 Saves:3:2:5 Init: +2 Skills: Dip +5, Per +7, Sense +5, Stealth +2

Oh yes, this event.


Silence you...don't give away the evilness of my plan


Male Half-Elf Urban Ranger/3

Linflass looks at the boy calling out as they approach.

Ornerix. Ornery. Ornigo. Ornigaard. Yeah, that's right.

With that mental recognition, he gazes around rapidly as he pulls his masterwork dagger from its sheathe.

Ornigard. Did you lose that blasted stirge again? Has it stung anybody or anything yet?

He continues to search for the stirge in the nearby brush and swamp.

I had all of Golarion to roam and I chose a place where they keep stirges as pets to settle in.

To his comrades: The locals don't like it if you kill a pet stirge, even though it's draining your blood. Try and pry it loose without killing it if it latches on. But get it off before you lose too much blood.


Ornigaard jumps at hearing the voice and spins around on his heels. Seeing Linflass on his horse(assuming you're all still mounted) he smiles a little though it fades once he sees the others.

"I don't know...I just let him out to take him for a walk and he just flew off...I hope he wasn't hungry. Who are you're friends? he says cautiously pointing to the rest of the party.

As he askes Eve you feel something land on your back. It feels like a large bug as you feel 6 legs brush against your back as it lands.


Warpriest 1 HP:9/9 AC:16:12:14 Saves:3:2:5 Init: +2 Skills: Dip +5, Per +7, Sense +5, Stealth +2

She gentlely gives it a shuwing with her hands, to give it the hint to "bugger off, I'm not a meal."


Male Half-Elf Urban Ranger/3

Do we need to roll anything to notice the stirge on Eve's back?

These are some friends of mine coming for a visit.

Gives Ornigaard a serious expression. They aren't used to being around stirges. You should find Applesauce quickly.

Continues looking for the stirge.


Male Human Ranger/3

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Stirges as pets. What is wrong with these people? Tomas looks around for the missing stirge and says,"Stirges as pets. Strange town you have here Linflass."


Warpriest 1 HP:9/9 AC:16:12:14 Saves:3:2:5 Init: +2 Skills: Dip +5, Per +7, Sense +5, Stealth +2

"I think Applesauce is behind me."

No need for the roll now, since I pointed it out.


Male Half-Elf Urban Ranger/3

I'll not deny that. Though at least I'm not at risk of being attacked by a werewolf here...

Linflass turns at Eve's words. Grins. He must prefer sweet blood. Guess I'm safe.

He nudges his mount next to Eve's so that he is at an angle that would allow him to take a safe stab/swipe at the stirge with the dagger in hand. Safe for Eve, that is.

To Ornigaard. Boy, get your pet before we have to carve it off of her. Quickly. My friends won't be laid low with swamp fever.


Female Halfling Rogue 3

Norn keeps her distance not wanting to aggrevate the bug.


Eldwin also keeps his distance.


The boy cautiously approaches Eve, not really sure he can trust a woman of her size and obvious power. "Applesauce get over here" the boy calls and the Stirge detaches from Eve and flies over, landing on the boys shoulder. Applesauce then nuzzles against the boys neck. "Yeah yeah yeah I've missed you to" the boy says as he attaches the leash to the collar around the stirges neck. He then looks up to Linflass "Thanks for not hurting him... his words trail off as his eyes scan the rest of the party. "I don't know what you people are doing here but Pa always told me not to talk to strangers" he says before running off, applesauce flying quickly behind him.

You are now free to split up if you wish or you can stick together. I'm okay with what ever you want to do.

Just an FYI I probably should have mentioned before...we're doing story based xp so you/I don't need to keep track of who has what for xp.


Warpriest 1 HP:9/9 AC:16:12:14 Saves:3:2:5 Init: +2 Skills: Dip +5, Per +7, Sense +5, Stealth +2

List of areas we can go to investigate, please.


Male Half-Elf Urban Ranger/3

Linflass watches the boy and his pet stirge go off.

Shakes his head. A strange place I've found myself in.

Would anyone go with me and Eldwin? We'll ask some folks I know for word of Elias. From what I heard back in the city, I don't think he could have sworn off the drink, even if he meant to to do his task well.

The rest of you, I'd start at the town hall. That's where all the government work gets done. Well. The official stuff, anyways.

He would tell them where it is, plus the name of any official that seems relevant. XXX below is the name of whatever inn the GM uses

How about we meet at the XXX around supper time to compare notes? You can ask anybody for directions to it.


D'oh I knew I forgot something yesterday...I meant to rip the town map out of the module for you guys...for some reason the library computers won't let me do that. I'll get a map up for you guys tomorrow

Linflass you would know that other than the festival grounds and the local festival this is one of the few small towns in Golorian that doesn't have a tavern(I know I find it odd to). So you all end up going to the Mayor's mansion.

In the way there one of the locals stops your group. Linflass you recognize him as Viorec Korzha, the father of Ornigaard. He stops the group. "Linflass you know better than to bring outsiders in here...what is there business in town?"


Male Half-Elf Urban Ranger/3

the jury will disregard all previous statements about taverns.

Linflass looks at the newcomer with a frown, then a sarcastic grin. Viorec. I was a stranger and look how great that worked out.

He drops the grin.

We are going to see the mayor.

that's it unless Viorec is a man of influence in town. If so, he adds

come along if you want.


Male Human Cleric/Level 3

"I'll go with you Linflass"


The mans eyes narrow as he looks over at the group. "What business do you have with the Mayor?"

Anyone can feel free to answer...and sorry forgot the map again...I really should make my self a note...


Warpriest 1 HP:9/9 AC:16:12:14 Saves:3:2:5 Init: +2 Skills: Dip +5, Per +7, Sense +5, Stealth +2

You also forgot the list of places.

I am planning on asking near any routes out of town to see if Someone saw HIM leave.


Female Halfling Rogue 3

"We want to see him about a tax collector that seems to have disappeared."


Male Human Ranger/3

Tomas frowns looking down at the man and says, "Our business with the mayor is just that our business." Tomas glances at the others and shrugs saying in a low voice, "Don't like to be questioned."


The man looks at Norn, his face looking like he's deep in thought. "I do seem to remember a man coming into town last month seeking to collect back taxes...though I figured he got what he was looking for and moved on. If he's absconded with our money that should be reported immediately...though how do I know that's what you are truly here for" he asks still looking a little suspicious.


Male Human Cleric/Level 3

Eldwin pulls the hood of his robe down and stares at the man sternly "It's true because we said so. We intend to figure out what happened, but we need the help of those who last saw him. A little trust if you will.
