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

You'll have to bot Phil for a bit I think


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

Ooooooor will he?

"Hmm. Well...I'm not certain how much assistance my divination could provide presently. I could certainly attempt it, but if I do not draw the right card from the Harrowing, it would prove less than beneficial to us. My present magics are better suited to protecting us from harm. A Guidance spell perhaps, but even that is only a cantrip. Yeralithi, do you have any spells that would prove beneficial? You specialize in teleportation magics, do you not?"


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

Yera nods at Gideon and Basil. "Yes, but only at very short distances. I could maybe teleport from one side of the door to the other, but that is about it."


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

"Well then" Basil replies "We'll just have to do this the old fashoned way then.

He sets out to walk around the building to see if there are any alternate ways of entry..if not he forces the door.


Female Human Gunslinger (Pistolero/ Mysterious Stranger) 1

Alleria follows hand on pistol, ready for anything.


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

Perception checks please.


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

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19


Female Human Gunslinger (Pistolero/ Mysterious Stranger) 1

Perception!: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18


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

Yera:
Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Basil:
Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16

There are two entries into the building. There is the main entrance on the South wall, and there also appears to be a small shack leaning against the side of the building that might lead into it, probably a storage shed of some kind. Boarded windows cover openings into the shack.

As you approach with the clear intent of entering the building, three shabby, but tough-looking varisian men exit from the shack, loudly demanding you to leave.


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

Basil slows down slightly his eyes moving from one man to another judging their threat potential.

"We don't want trouble friends..but if you want to make it..we'll gladly accomodate you" he states bluntly


Female Human Gunslinger (Pistolero/ Mysterious Stranger) 1

Alleria simply raises and eyebrow and shrugs with her hand on her pistol waiting to see what happens next...


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

Are the men within thirty feet of the group? Otherwise, Gideon can't see them.


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

They swiftly move to get right up in your faces.

"There won't be no trouble long as you lot clear outta here," one of them states with a hint of menace.


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

Basil shows no sign of being intimidated by these characters.."Seriously Pilgrim..we are not here for you..unless you want us to be?"

This is one of the times you wish Paladins had intimidate instead of diplomacy..how are these guys armed and equipped?


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

They are carrying morningstars and have crossbows slung across their back.


Female Human Gunslinger (Pistolero/ Mysterious Stranger) 1

Alleria is pretty much just waiting for a move to actual violence and then will pull her gun.


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

"Now gentlemen, there is no need for any violence. Surely we can settle our differences without resorting to such...unsavory tactics. We have no quarrel with you, sirs...we only ask that you do not seek to hinder us as we seek out our quarry."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

I will not celebrate, because the dice bot will get me back later...I will not celebrate...


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

Basil gives each man a piercing look as if looking into their very souls..

Detect Evil on both.


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

Basil:
First round you detect no evil within your view.

"Look, there's bad stuff in there. We wouldn'a want fine upstandin' folks like yerselves gettin' hurt s'all," one of the men says. He flinches a little at the piercing stare Basil gives them all.


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

"While your concern is greatly appreciated, gentlemen, I assure you that we are fully able to take care of ourselves. Trust us. There is nothing to worry about."


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

The men give each other wary glances before the lead one shrugs. "A'ight, mate. Buh don' say we didn'a warn ya. C'mon boys. Le's go." He waves at the others and begins a slow walk down the road.


Female Human Gunslinger (Pistolero/ Mysterious Stranger) 1

Alleria pouts ever so slightly, I guess we'll move on without trouble.


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

"No point in making trouble where you don't need it."

Basil approaches the entrance.


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

The entire floor of this 20'x15' chamber has collapsed into the pool of water five feet below. The earthen walls of this floored subcellar ooze with foul rivulets, and the smell is abominable. Two oozing sewer pipes protrude through the east wall of this pit just above the level of the sewage. Part of the ceiling above the entrance has collapsed, revealing an attic crawlspace above; a rickety ladder leads up from the water below into the crawlspace above. A door stands in the far wall across the sludge pit. A wooden plank balanced between both doors makes a precarious bridge between the two doors.


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

Do not channel Han Solo..Do not channel Han Solo..Do not channel Han Solo..too late

Basil recoils from the smell.."By my honour...that smell is.... incredible" he chokes


Female Human Gunslinger (Pistolero/ Mysterious Stranger) 1

Alleria looks over Basil's shoulder and makes a dry wretching sound, Why did we come here again? I sudeenly can't remember due to the horrid stench.


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

Gideon's nose wrinkles in distaste and he stifles an obvious cough, the stench nearly overwhelming his sensitive sense of smell. "By my word...this is certainly quite the smell we've discovered. Heavens." he says, pinching his nostrils shut with his fingers. Seeing the ladder, he points it out to the others. "I think the best thing to do is get as far away from the source of this awful reek as possibly."


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

In layman's terms, you've basically got three ways to go. There's a door on the other side of the room with a plank forming a "bridge from your position to the door. There's the sludge beneath you. And there's the ladder running from said sludge to a crawlspace above.


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

"I mislike this" Basil says.."none of our options is ideal..however I believe we should try and take the high ground..

He moves towards the ladder and stops at it's foot testing the rungs before beginning to climb it one rung at a time ensuring each is safe before putting his weight upon it.


Female Human Gunslinger (Pistolero/ Mysterious Stranger) 1

At this point Alleria will draw her pistol none too eager to be ambushed in this literal shit hole of a room. Keeping an eye on her brother and the wizard the gunslinger will follow Basil and stand at the foot of the ladder as he ascends.

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

As Basil puts his first foot onto the ladder's rung it snaps almost instantaneously, the pieces clattering down into the sludge.

Everyone:

DC 15 Perception:
The ladder is in terrible shape. It is unlikely to hold any weight whatsoever. However, you might be able to climb up the wooden planking on the walls.

GM Screen:
Yera Stealth: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
Gideon Stealth: 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (15) - 4 = 11
Basil Stealth: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (20) - 3 = 17
Alleria Stealth: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

Goblins Perception: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (10) - 1 = 9
1d20 - 1 ⇒ (12) - 1 = 11
1d20 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3


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

Perception 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18

Basil tsks as the rung gives way.."Shoddy workmanship that" he whispers "however we might be able to progress above using the walls themselves we can only trust that they will be stronger"


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

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

"Climbing the walls directly? Hmm. I am unsure myself, Sir Basil...but I will trust your opinion over my own. My experience in such matters is very little."


Female Human Gunslinger (Pistolero/ Mysterious Stranger) 1

PErception!: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Alleria huffs lightly and puts her gun away. The old fashioned way is it? Can't suffer fancy things like a ladder... The gunslinger swallows the rest of her griping and prepares herself to follow the paladin.


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

Climb checks por favor.


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

How high is the wall?

Climb1d20 - 4 ⇒ (12) - 4 = 8

Basil cannot find enough purchase on the wall to lever himself up with the weight of his armour.

"Hmm..I mislike going unprotected in this situation..but I cannot see me getting up their in Armour" the Paladin muses.


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

Seeing the trouble that Sir Basil has with climbing the wall, Gideon decides to try an alternate tactic; rather than climbing with all his gear, he decides to leave his armor behind. Asking Sir Basil to watch it, he removes his breastplate and shield, leaving him significantly lighter for the attempt at climbing.

"If I can make it up, it will be much easier for the two of you to follow with a rope thrown back down." he reasons before putting his hand to the wall.

Climb: 1d20 ⇒ 19


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

I didn't say it would be easy to make it up the wall. Just not impossible and less likely to cause a collapse. Neither of you make it up.


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

Basil loks grim after the failure by Gideon...

"Maybe we need to find a ladder of our own"..he grumbles

"I mislike this place it has every appearance of being a trap"

hehe First Han Solo now Admiral Akbar


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

"I don't suppose anyone thought to bring a grappling hook or similar climbing aid? I'm afraid I left mine in my other cloak." Gideon asks, pulling his armor back after the failed attempt at climbing the wall.


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

"Sorry old boy hadn't planned on having to climb walls..which is off course no excuse for not bringing one with us just in case.."


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

There's always the "bridge" to the door.


Female Human Gunslinger (Pistolero/ Mysterious Stranger) 1

I never plan to get somewhere by climbing if I can help it. No hook here...


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

"Then it seems the bridge is our best option, painfully obvious as it is. If I may make a suggestion, I believe you should attempt it first, Alleria. We can tie a line to you so we can pull you back up, should it prove unstable, but you are the lightest of us and least likely to make it break."


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

Back on! Natasha, you were sent along with by Sheila after Yera moved on. Feel free to enter in whatever manner you see fit.


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

Basil nods sagely.."Aye that would be the best action..if ye pass safely then I will follow."


Female Female Human (Varisian) Witch 1

I fleshed out her background somewhat - apologies to Philip, I read your background and it was like a challenge and a hook at the same time! Hope you don't mind that I wrote Natasha into your background as your fortune teller...

Several hours before...

In the quiet of the Heidmarch Manor, Natasha Nusashti leaves the study of the Venture Captain in consternation. The wizard Yara and the dwarf Andavar have been reassigned, after some scuffle in the docks. Natasha was landed with the task of joining the team, although Sheila Heidmarch knew only they were somewhere searching out a Sczarni woman called Natalya...well, she was a seer.

Calmly she seated herself in the manor house and cleared her thoughts as she shuffled her cards. Without consciously wishing to she flipped out four cards, then a fifth, asking herself where the people she sought were, and who they were...

The Paladin, a card of strength: Well, Shiela said they were led by a Knight of Abadar called named Basil de Firmer. It would seem that he was a man true and faithful, which was a relief to know. You never quite be working with...unbidden she saw the man, heavily armoured and calmly facing a group of armed men in the Underbridge district.

The Rabbit Prince, a key card: If there was a card further from the The Paladin she had expected among any group, this was it. In that moment she saw her, an agile woman dancing with a lethal weapon, facing her foes and striking them down before she could be touched.

"Strange fellows," Natasha whispered. "A solid knight and a devil-may-care bravo. Where are you, though? And who binds you together." She flipped over the next card.

The Theatre, a card of crowns: the sight struck Natasha as hard as it did the first time, the beautiful man struck blind by the gods, his fate foretold by Natasha herself.

"Him..." Natasha whispered. "So it was no coincidence I met you before," she murmured. "Prophesy, yet sometimes just a fraction too late. But is it my fate to be bound to you all?" She turned the penultimate card.

The Wanderer, the book: no surprise, her own card appeared here.

"So I must join you," she murmured softly. "Now show me where..."

The Demon Lantern....again a card of keys.

"I know where you are," she whispered. Taking her cards she called Butterfly to her. "Little friend, I need the spells for traversing dangers as easily as you do in the city, and...I think I had best be able to unleash fire on my enemies. I think this could be dangerous, and I am no warrior," Natasha sighed. If cats could shrug, Butterfly would have shrugged, meeting her gaze and explaining how to do what she wished.

Then she left, seeking out three people already touched by fate...


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

Don't mind it a bit! I'm glad that the background I came up with for Gideon could serve as a source of inspiration for you. When I first pitched it to the rest of the group as a possible character choice, Devon himself said it screamed of Varisia so much that he asked to make Alleria his sister. Haha.


Female Human Gunslinger (Pistolero/ Mysterious Stranger) 1

Feisty Varisian women for the win!

Alleria pulls on her brother's arms for a minute, Been lifting saddles and hay enough you think you can lift me come trouble? She smirks at the young man and then punches Basil's armor. More like than not your on damsel in distress duty if this goes badly. She winks at the pair as she cinches the rope to her waist and then turns to the bridge.

Don't let me fall boys...

Alleria approaches the bridge and then moves forward...Acrobatics?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
