"Hmm..I think we can close that line of enquiry it would appear that the 'Slavers Ring' was nothing but a set up to trap us. It certainly didnt help us find our quarry so we must now return to the odiferous Fenster and seek his aid"

He pulls the Silver dagger that was found in the puzzle box from his belt.."I believe this should be sufficient payment for his services if required.But first off, some sleep would be good."


Female Human Gunslinger (Pistolero/ Mysterious Stranger) 1

Alleria nods at the assessment eager to see some sleep after the rather sound thumping the group received and post awakening hiding for naught.


Male Human Oracle 4; HP 35/35; AC 18/11/17; F+3/R+2/W+4; Init +5; Per +7

"Certainly a wild goose chase, if nothing else. Regardless, I agree that a little bit of rest is well in order.

And the dagger may indeed serve as sufficient payment for our other lead...if for no reason other than it is silver, but are we certain it is wise to trade it away so soon? We received some funds from Lady Heidmarch for the purpose of accomplishing our mission; it may be a better idea to use that before getting rid of the silver dagger."


Male Human (American) Dungeon Master (Action Movie Director) 17

so you guys going to rest first, or heading strait to go visit Fenster?


Female Elf Wizard (Teleporter) 1

Yera does need to rest and regain spells


Male Human Oracle 4; HP 35/35; AC 18/11/17; F+3/R+2/W+4; Init +5; Per +7

As does Gideon.


Female Human Gunslinger (Pistolero/ Mysterious Stranger) 1

Rest is good, don't want no Endurance check ;p


Male Human Paladin of Iomedae1 (Warrior of the Shining Light) FC

Resting definitely a good thing by my estimation we have been on the go for nearly a full day.


Male Human (American) Dungeon Master (Action Movie Director) 17

Alright. Who's going where, then? I'm assuming some of you will just go home.


Male Human Oracle 4; HP 35/35; AC 18/11/17; F+3/R+2/W+4; Init +5; Per +7

Are there sleeping quarters at the Pathfinder Lodge?


Female Human Gunslinger (Pistolero/ Mysterious Stranger) 1

If I'm allowed home I go home :-p If the Lodge is an option and Gideon goes there, Alleria will follow.


Male Human Paladin of Iomedae1 (Warrior of the Shining Light) FC

"I think it best if we base ourselves out off the Lodge for now..there are always quarters available for those who need them and we will not have to worry about assembling every day."


Male Human (American) Dungeon Master (Action Movie Director) 17

You seek shelter in the Lodge just as the sun is rising above the buildings of Magnimar. Sheila is walking down the stairs as you enter with a cup of some warm beverage. she says nothing, but smiles at you as you all march wearily towards the back of the manor.

Later that afternoon, feeling refreshed, you continue on your search. Fenster's abode is much the same as before.


Female Human Gunslinger (Pistolero/ Mysterious Stranger) 1

I was hoping another round of daylight would make this place more bearable...I was wrong.


Male Human Oracle 4; HP 35/35; AC 18/11/17; F+3/R+2/W+4; Init +5; Per +7

Gideon chuckles under his breath before offering his agreement with his sister's opinion. "Regardless, we have returned, with I should hope a significant enough loan from Lady Heidmarch to satisfy any desire Fenster might have for gold or lucre. The question then is, how much should we leave him? Surely only a few of the coins will be more money than he's seen in many a day."


Male Human Paladin of Iomedae1 (Warrior of the Shining Light) FC

"I don't believe coin will attract his interest so much but if you believe it's the answer I'm willing to try i, what size of donation were you thinking about?"


Male Human (American) Dungeon Master (Action Movie Director) 17

Sooo... what you guys leaving?


Male Human Oracle 4; HP 35/35; AC 18/11/17; F+3/R+2/W+4; Init +5; Per +7

"What about those red gems we found in the puzzle box? Certainly they are less useful than the dagger, in addition to their being three of them. We could try leaving one or two of those. Not useful in a utilitarian way, of course, but surely appealing from a monetary standpoint."


Male Human Paladin of Iomedae1 (Warrior of the Shining Light) FC

"We can try.Let us begin with one,no point in over egging the pudding after all"


Male Human Oracle 4; HP 35/35; AC 18/11/17; F+3/R+2/W+4; Init +5; Per +7

"Agreed." Gideon responds. An accord being reached between he and Sir Basil, he steps forward, removing one of the small red gems from a pouch attached to his belt and dropping it into the small tin platter leaning against the broken sea chest, then stepping backwards a few paces to wait and see if this 'Fenster the Blight' character reveals himself.


Female Human Gunslinger (Pistolero/ Mysterious Stranger) 1

Alleria offers a "thumbs up" to the proceedings. :-)


Male Human Paladin of Iomedae1 (Warrior of the Shining Light) FC

We wait...

time passes, Thorin sits down and sings about gold...showing my age again

GM Screen:
2d6 ⇒ (3, 5) = 8

It takes less than a minute for the grimy Fenster to come crawling out of his hovel to examine your gift. He doesn't acknowledge you, but moves strait to the plate and looks the gem over before sniffing it and, apparently satisfied with what he found, pocketing it. He grins and snorts up a dribble from his nose, then sits on his broken chest.

"What yew want Fenster ta'do?"


Male Human Oracle 4; HP 35/35; AC 18/11/17; F+3/R+2/W+4; Init +5; Per +7

Gideon does his best to hide his distaste for the dirty man who emerges from the hole to come and examine their "gift." Unfortunately he can't stop a slightly unsavory expression from coming on his face when the vagabond hunkers down on his chest and snorts back up a dribble of mucus.

"Well, er...you see, Mr. Fenster...my colleagues and I are searching for a particular group of people calling themselves the Tower Girls. We seek an audience with one of their members and we were told you may be able to point us in their direction. Is there any truth to that?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14


Male Human (American) Dungeon Master (Action Movie Director) 17

Fenster ceases picking his teeth with a wickedly barbed (and very rusty) dagger and perks up at Gideon's question. He sits up and puffs out his chest proudly.

"Aye, I be ther landlord."


Male Human Oracle 4; HP 35/35; AC 18/11/17; F+3/R+2/W+4; Init +5; Per +7

"Their landlord? Well that certainly is interesting. I don't suppose you'd be willing to point us in their direction, would you? We aren't interested in putting anyone out...we just want to see if they know a certain woman we are looking for that we were told had sought out the Tower Girls."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18


Female Human Gunslinger (Pistolero/ Mysterious Stranger) 1

Alleria stands by watching the exchange with a wary eye, continually checking their surroundings to be sure there are no other uninvited parties following their business.

Perception!: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9


Male Human Paladin of Iomedae1 (Warrior of the Shining Light) FC

"Now we do understand that there may be some difficulties with the girls..but I assure you we are not here as officers of the Law.We are the representatives of certain individuals who are concerned with the whereabouts of one particular girl.Natalyah Vancaskerkin..perhaps you know where she is..it weould certainly speed things up to cut out the middle women as it were"


Male Human (American) Dungeon Master (Action Movie Director) 17

Fenster's eyes widen for a brief second and he becomes wary.

"Oh aye," he stammers before regaining his composure. "Fenster knows where she be. But I ain't sayin' nuffin wiffout a better payment."


Male Human Oracle 4; HP 35/35; AC 18/11/17; F+3/R+2/W+4; Init +5; Per +7

Gideon's eyes narrow very slightly at Fenster's reaction to hearing Natalyah's name, finding something inherently suspicious about the behavior.

Sense Motive: 1d20 ⇒ 8

Almost as soon as he saw that flicker, though, he dismisses it, then draws in a deep breath before replying,"What 'better payment' would you require for information about Vancaskerkin's location, Fenster?"


Male Human (American) Dungeon Master (Action Movie Director) 17

Greed glitters in Fenster's eyes. "Well tha' depens. Watchoo got?"


Female Human Gunslinger (Pistolero/ Mysterious Stranger) 1

This is ridiculous you little toad Name an honest price or I am liable to take what I can get from your hide!

Intimidate!: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Alleria menaces with a hand to the hilt of her short sword.

Alleria isn't the most patient in the world. I will take any and all punishment gracefully. Please do note that I am threatening to still pay him :p


Male Human (American) Dungeon Master (Action Movie Director) 17

Fenster cowers before Alleria's sudden outburst and dives behind his chest, peeping over the top. His eyes narrow.

"Yer askin' sumfin danger's. An ole Fenster can't name a price cuz he dunno watchoo got to trade."

Keep in mind this guy doesn't appear to be too terribly bright. Plus from what you've heard he's generally more interested in trinkets that catch his attention than in gold value. That being said he's not an appraiser.


Male Human Paladin of Iomedae1 (Warrior of the Shining Light) FC

Basil pulls out another gemstone.."How about a matching stone to the one we already gave you.."

He is prepared to offer the silver dagger if he has to


Female Human Gunslinger (Pistolero/ Mysterious Stranger) 1

Yah I figured, I just imagined Alleria as sort of a spitfire, impatient type. Basil needs an errant soul to guide ;-p


Male Human (American) Dungeon Master (Action Movie Director) 17

Fenster grins slyly. He looks over his shoulders to make sure he isn't being overheard and continues. "I been seein' her lurkin' about in a buildin' purdy close. She ain't hangin' out wif da udder Tower Girls. Fact, she seems ta be doin' real good ta stay invisible, as t'were." Fenster hops a little closer and taps the sallow cheeck under his non-clouded eye. "Nuthin' gets past me good peeper!"


Male Human Paladin of Iomedae1 (Warrior of the Shining Light) FC

Basil draws the gem back a little..So, point us in the right direction and we'll be out of your hair old man..whare is she "


Male Human Oracle 4; HP 35/35; AC 18/11/17; F+3/R+2/W+4; Init +5; Per +7

Gideon shifts back and forth on his feet, anxiously waiting to see what Fenster's reply to the offer of a second gemstone is.


Male Human (American) Dungeon Master (Action Movie Director) 17

Fenster grabs for it, and frowns angrily when Basil pulls it back. "Dun toy wif me, boy. This's good info. I'm givin'. It be an 'bandoned boardin' house in Underbridge," he says menacingly. "Now this ain't no charity. Gimme my pay."


Male Human Paladin of Iomedae1 (Warrior of the Shining Light) FC

Basil tosses the decrepit fence his reward.."Pleasure doing business with ye..Adabar's blessing on your dealings"

He turns and walks away motioning to the others to follow. until they are out of earshot.

"Well we narrowed things down a bit..an abandoned boarding house and not far away..we need a street urchin I think..some likely lad who'd sell his own grandmother for a few coppers"


Male Human Oracle 4; HP 35/35; AC 18/11/17; F+3/R+2/W+4; Init +5; Per +7

"It's as good an idea as any. Likely much less intimidating than the group of us marching up to an abandoned boarding house, at least. Our target would likely flee at first sight you, Basil."


Female Human Gunslinger (Pistolero/ Mysterious Stranger) 1

Oh no I think it is a fine idea to send a man of Abadar parading into the hovel. "I have questions ladies!". I would pay good coin to see that!

Alleria winks at her brother. Joking aside it probably be best not to flush out our prey just yet...

Alleria looks around to see if anyone looks like the, "I will go look into the building for a silver" type.


Male Human (American) Dungeon Master (Action Movie Director) 17

You're in Underbridge. Let me count the people, lol.


Female Human Gunslinger (Pistolero/ Mysterious Stranger) 1

]Figured :p

I will grab the nearest one, drag them to the paladin and say This man would pay you for a simple task... leaving Basil to charm the interested party into whatever action he conceives.


Male Human Oracle 4; HP 35/35; AC 18/11/17; F+3/R+2/W+4; Init +5; Per +7

Gideon will lend his aid to the task, assisting Basil in the task of convincing whatever person his sister grabbed that helping them find the Vancaskerkin woman was worth the effort...or the coin. Whichever proved more likely to convince, he imagined.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23


Male Human Paladin of Iomedae1 (Warrior of the Shining Light) FC

Basil rolls his eyes slightly at Alleria's somewhat direct manner..

"All we need you to do is lead us to the abandoned boarding house..or point it out if it is within sight of this spot.."


Male Human (American) Dungeon Master (Action Movie Director) 17

The peasant seems more than willing to accept your coin. He leads you to a building that has clearly seen better days. Its clipboard sides are dark with mildew and marred by scorch marks. In places fire has gutted portions of the roof's moss-covered tile shingles, but the building appears to be structurally intact. The building stands near the stark wall of the Seacleft, and scree from several decades of minor rockfalls has piled up along its southern face.


Male Human Oracle 4; HP 35/35; AC 18/11/17; F+3/R+2/W+4; Init +5; Per +7

Gideon follows the peasant closely, his eyesight preventing him from seeing the building until it is nearly upon them. He wrinkles his nose in a clear sign of distaste for the dilapidated old structure, despite its relative structural integrity.

"So...she's in here? What a quaint place to call home..."


Male Human Paladin of Iomedae1 (Warrior of the Shining Light) FC

"I'm sure she has her reasons old boy."

Basil contemplates the building.."Looks like it might fall down if we sneeze to hard though.." he turns to the casters "Do either of you have a spell that might aid us..some divination that we can use to get an idea of what is in there?"


Male Human (American) Dungeon Master (Action Movie Director) 17

Bump?
