Child-of-Planes shook his head, his eyes returning to their normal iris-less white. Unless anyone stopped him, he'd cast stabilize on the unconscious thugs. "Well—I don't know who Lomrick is, but here's hoping the General I just channeled didn't actually kill any of his men. Is it safe to stay here?" he asked, a bit morosely.

  • "Probably not," Vincent sighed. Vincent turned to the feline woman and smiled, "I hope these vermin didn't harm you? If you are injured, I can help to mend your wounds." Quietly, so the rat-man could not hear him, he added, "After my friend there finishes questioning that one, we should all see about moving to a new location. It wouldn't do to be caught here if they come back with reinforcements, and I would love a chance to speak with you concerning our mutual enemy, Lomrick."

    Vincent cleared his throat, and spoke louder, partly for the rat-man's benefit, "Thank you, Child, for saving the fallen ones. Stopping a one-sided attack is commendable, but the attackers deserve to be judged by the city's laws, not simply slain on the spot if it can be helped."


    HP: 37/40 | AC: 20 | Fort: +8, Ref: +8, Will: +8 | Hero Points: 3/3 | 25 feet speed | Perception: +6 Active Effects: none

    Phai quickly approaches the Ratling trying to flee: "You'd best listen to his carefully worded suggestion. Because I have some questions for you as well. So I'd suggest you get over there and sit at the table for a moment-", Phai states, as she firmly grips her Glaive and Spiked Shield in a non-threatening display that is simply meant to showcase "the alternative".

    Will Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
    Aid Diplomacy: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 Guess it's rather intimitading instead of diplomatic ;)

    If he attempts to flee, he'll provoke:

    Even if he withdraws, that just means I'll attack with the glaive at reach instead.
    Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20 Spiked Shield Bash: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 OR Glaive: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

    Child shakes his head. "Trouble, either way. Got enough in this city already, don't want more..."


    Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

    As it turned out, the rat-figure didn't seem particularly convinced by the illusion that sprang up - and he carefully stepped right through the door. Outside, it pulled something out of its belt and chugged it, and its wounds began to rapidly close. There were quite a few people just outside the building, still - but inside, Child-of-Planes was able to stabilize one of the ones that had dropped.

    "I'll be fine." the feline woman said, licking a wound. "I appreciate the help - they've been getting cocky lately, and someone needed to put them in their place."

  • "Well, I'm glad we were here to step in. Mind telling us why they wanted to hurt you?" Vincent asked as he sheathed his weapon and started righting toppled chairs.

    Feeling frustrated at her utter inability to stop ANY of them from fleeing, Phai turns to the others:"We definitely should talk. But even more importantly, we should get moving, NOW. That crowd out there is sure to attract attention from whatever authorities are around, and these ratlings will surely report to their superiors...lets get somewhere else, as fast as we can-"

    If the ratling 5-foot stepped outside, he should still provoke with the potion...even if I cannot attack him with the people watching, I can sunder his potion with my glaive :P No healing for him, and obviously, no lethal force against him...

  • "You're right Phai. Is there a back door to this place? We should put some distance between us and this place."

    Child turns to the others. "Also, one of these guys isn't gonna make it. Would be fine talking as we move."


    Male Elf Rogue 5/Sorcerer 1 - Witch 4 - Trickster 1 | HP: 46/50 | AC: 22 / T: 17 / FF: 16 | Fort: +4-1, Ref: +8, Will: +7; +2 Vs Enchantment | CMB: +4, CMD: 19 | Init: +4, Perception: +10 | Immune (Sleep) | Spell Points: 13/16

    Isen glanced at the menu longingly, and sighed. "Oh well. The illusion I made will drop when I move a few more feet - it's at the edge of what I can affect, for now - and so we might want to remove anything we don't wish the public to see before I move."


    *Glances at the big door in the way* Well, he has total cover there, but if you want to try poking out anyway...

    Two of the creatures had fled - but the third had been stabilized, and was unconscious for now. There were plenty of things that could be done...

    "Uh... just the main door, I think." the feline woman said at the mention of an exit. "I'm Kaetrix, of the Jaskirri. The good news..." she put a foot on the chest of the unconscious rat figure to be sure it couldn't run away. "...is that they started it, none of them are dead, and everyone else will gladly testify on our behalf. Nice work, by the way... but if you don't mind me asking, why did you help me?" She seemed... wary, though not hostile.

    Oh... I thought you were implying one was dead.

  • "My name's Vincent. My friend and I were imprisoned by Lomrick, or by people he employed. We managed to escape, and now we're hoping to find out more information about him, preferably without him finding out that we're not where he left us. Neither of us knows much more than we woke up in some kind of facility that was malfunctioning, and we seized the opportunity to get away.

    "Since you seemed to have no love for Lomrick, we stepped in to protect you, though I suppose we would have done the same for anyone being assaulted like that." Vincent explained as he patted down the unconscious rat man, hoping to find a letter or orders of some kind. "Do you think it likely that they return quickly, or is there enough time to give a statement to the authorities, and turn over this fellow to their custody?"

    "And I still haven't had lunch," Child-of-Planes added, offhand.


    HP: 37/40 | AC: 20 | Fort: +8, Ref: +8, Will: +8 | Hero Points: 3/3 | 25 feet speed | Perception: +6 Active Effects: none

    So he 5-foot stepped away, outside the door, then free action slammed the door shut and drank a potion? Before I could react? -_- All fine, just trying to figure out the events so I know better in the future-

    "No second exit? Ratlings and crowd outside? May as well stay and wait for someone to take our order. I change my mind. Fleeing through the crowds will just make us look guilty, when we've only been defending our friend Kaetrix-", Phai states as she slumps down in one of the chairs: "Sometimes, life just is like that...", getting lost in thought.


    Male Elf Rogue 5/Sorcerer 1 - Witch 4 - Trickster 1 | HP: 46/50 | AC: 22 / T: 17 / FF: 16 | Fort: +4-1, Ref: +8, Will: +7; +2 Vs Enchantment | CMB: +4, CMD: 19 | Init: +4, Perception: +10 | Immune (Sleep) | Spell Points: 13/16

    "I believe I can help with that," Isen mused. "I can grant yourself and Vincent an illusionary appearance. The closer to your real form it is, the less chance someone will see through it, but it should allow us to leave this place discretely."


    HP: 37/40 | AC: 20 | Fort: +8, Ref: +8, Will: +8 | Hero Points: 3/3 | 25 feet speed | Perception: +6 Active Effects: none

    "Not sure if that would help much...", Phai lifts all 4 of her arms in a shrug,"...physical peculiarities aside, I'd expect anybody out there...", she points at the entrance, "...to assume everybody in here", she covers the inside of the Weave Runner with her other hands,"to be involved in what happened. Even if we'd be invisible, we'd probably have a hard time passing through the crowds. Na, lets wait it out, testify, and see if we can't get a few answers ourselves from this ratling, before people arrive to question us.", Phai states, standing up and walking towards whatever passes for a bar in the place:"Anybody else need a drink?"


    Drinks were available, although many of them had complicated labels that your rudimentary understanding of the local language didn't quite suffice to interpret. That, and this was a place of business. Kaetrix, meanwhile, thoughtfully licked the back of one of her hands. "Nah, they're probably not going to be brave enough to try again so soon." she mused. "They're fundamentally cowards, and they have to know that quick violence would be the only response." A rumbling sound came from her torso for a few moments. "Still, the Hegemony must be getting pretty antsy if they're sending assassins after people." she mused. "If you were involved with Lomrick and he didn't like you, you might be on his list."

  • "Fantastic," Vincent grumbled. "I was just getting to like this place. If you don't mind me asking, how did you end up on their bad side? And what is Lomrick's place in this Hegemony? We knew he had people under his command, but didn't know he was established in a place of significant power." As he spoke, Vincent set about disarming the would-be assassin before he tied him to a chair.

    "Child, could you do me a favor and let the people outside know that the excitement is over now and they can come back in. If you can find the waitstaff you could probably be the first to get an order in. Plus, it sounds like our new friend was interrupted before she could get her dinner as well."

    Letting the illusion drop, Isen shrugged and took a seat. "If the chef isn't there, I will be saddened. Deeply saddened. Cooking has never been my skill, alas. I can barely open a bottle of wine without hurting myself. Last time I had spirits, the guard was called. Three people were sent to the healers. Terrible business."


    HP: 37/40 | AC: 20 | Fort: +8, Ref: +8, Will: +8 | Hero Points: 3/3 | 25 feet speed | Perception: +6 Active Effects: none

    Trusting things in a bar to be generally not inmediately harmful for consumption(beyond any long-term issue coming with many kinds of intoxication), Phai picks out a random bottle reminding her of a drink she knows and likes, and pours herself a cup, which she instantly downs. Linguistics to avoid anything with Warning Labels.: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
    "I'd say it's the other way round. Lomricks involved with us. Can't speak for Vincent or the others here, but I'm out to get him. I have no knowledge of this hegemony, but I fully intend to take revenge after what he did to us. So if you've got trouble with him as well, feel free to join us, or at least me, on the wild ride ahead of us."
    Phai pours herself another cup(from the same if it was tasty, or another bottle if not), then walks away from the bar, back towards the table.


    M Suli Aegis (Trailblazer) 5, Fighter (Unbreakable) 1/Medium (Spirit Dancer) 6/Mythic Trickster 1 | HP: 71/86, Stamina: 1/8 | AC: 19 / T: 12 / FF: 19 | Fort: +9, Ref: +4, Will: +6 | M.

    Child-of-Planes stepped out briefly, seeing if anyone had gathered outside the restaurant. "Just a miscommunication," he announced, attempting to smile, "Some patrons got unruly, but the situation has been handled, and this fine establishment is open once again."

    1 PP to activate diplo-shard

    Diplomacy: 1d20 + 11 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 11 + 3 = 19


    Kaetrix stared at Vincent for a few moments.

    "By Ahrenjae... you don't know." she said. Patrons started filing back in a moment later, looking around nervously. "Oooookay, you need a history lesson. Since the rabble's coming back in, though..." she dug around in her pack and pulled out a notepad of some kind, scrawling a location on it. "Meet me here this evening and I'll explain it. Too many ears who shouldn't be hearing stuff here, yeah? Just having people know you know something can be dangerous."


    HP: 37/40 | AC: 20 | Fort: +8, Ref: +8, Will: +8 | Hero Points: 3/3 | 25 feet speed | Perception: +6 Active Effects: none

    "Awful lot of things seem dangerous that ought not to be. Hardly surprised knowledge is, around here.", Phai states sardonically.
    "Regardless, I'd expect nothing has changed? We're still here to have a meal, right? I'd assume you may also have questions", Phai turns to Plany and Kally:"...but I assume if it's not safe enough to talk with Kaetrix of the Jaskirri, because of ill-meaning ears all over, then it's best we also discuss the details in the evening. All the same, I hope you'd join us for dinner, regardless of our recent exciting lifestyle catching up to us..."

  • Vincent took the piece of paper and stuffed it safely away out of sight. "If you think such secrecy is needed then we'll see you then. For now though... Phai is right, let's see what type of cuisine this place offers?"

    Child returns to the restaurant, and sits down for lunch.


    Slowly, people filed back into the building - and the owners questioned you rather cautiously, but eventually seemed satisfied that you were not at fault (and, indeed, had probably helped resolve things). None of the food looked or smelled familiar, but a few cautious bites found it to be edible, and it wasn't long before you'd managed to fill your bellies. The real question was what you were going to do next...


    M Suli Aegis (Trailblazer) 5, Fighter (Unbreakable) 1/Medium (Spirit Dancer) 6/Mythic Trickster 1 | HP: 71/86, Stamina: 1/8 | AC: 19 / T: 12 / FF: 19 | Fort: +9, Ref: +4, Will: +6 | M.

    "So..." Child idly mentioned, when the meal was finishing up, "This job you were talking about earlier—it relate to the Lomrick guy? I have to ask, if we're going to keep stepping into fights, could we maybe stop by the boarding house where I'm keeping my swords?"


    HP: 37/40 | AC: 20 | Fort: +8, Ref: +8, Will: +8 | Hero Points: 3/3 | 25 feet speed | Perception: +6 Active Effects: none

    "Most certainly we can. Honestly, things went upside down in my life. Last I know I was a researcher minding my own business, next I'm ending up in battle around every other corner.", Phai muses as she finishes her dessert "An interesting turn of events. Not one I am opposed to, though. Life feels so much more intense. I suppose being permanently close to having it ended makes it shine all the brighter. So, we're all going to meet with this Cat-rix later?"


    M Suli Aegis (Trailblazer) 5, Fighter (Unbreakable) 1/Medium (Spirit Dancer) 6/Mythic Trickster 1 | HP: 71/86, Stamina: 1/8 | AC: 19 / T: 12 / FF: 19 | Fort: +9, Ref: +4, Will: +6 | M.

    "It's a violent plane," Child agreed, "Despite all the cities. Still, beats watering camels. Yeah, I'm guessing Kaetrix will have another fight in mind."

    Kn. Religion? for Ahrenjae: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20


    M Suli Aegis (Trailblazer) 5, Fighter (Unbreakable) 1/Medium (Spirit Dancer) 6/Mythic Trickster 1 | HP: 71/86, Stamina: 1/8 | AC: 19 / T: 12 / FF: 19 | Fort: +9, Ref: +4, Will: +6 | M.

    Ahrenjae seems like a pretty common deity, and he's good-aligned...

    At Vincent's comment, Child-of-Planes remembered to summon back his armor—a suit of half-plate made of what appeared to be gathered stones, it was certainly distinctive, but probably safer than traveling unarmored.

    Not sure if this conversation is still going, but when we go get Child's stuff, it's basically a single, rugged backpack full of masterwork weapons and psychic aids/tools.


    Ahrenjae is not a deity you're familiar with, Vincent, as you haven't had the chance to study them. However, your new friends have! Ahrenjae is the goddess of cleverness, exploration, kinship, and survival, and she is CG. She is the major racial goddess of the Jaskirri, although she accepts worshipers of other species.

    A bit of time passed, and after picking up a few things (including some supplies Child-of-Planes and Isen hadn't had on them when they were jumped), the four of you were able to track down Kaetrix's location. It was fairly back in an alley, but there was no other traffic around. "All right, it should be safe to talk here." the cat-woman muttered, glancing around. If any intruders happened by, you'd have plenty of warning and see them coming. "You have questions, right? Ask."

  • "I guess we can start with why those people attacked you and a little bit about yourself if you don't mind," Vincent shrugged. "As for us, my friend and I were captured and woke up in some kind of laboratory that was apparently run by Lomrick. We were fortunate that something was going wrong with the facility, since it allowed us to escape and find our way here. We're hoping to find out why we were captured, and what Lomrick intended to do with us. It's hard to defend yourself when you don't know what you're up against, and we're sorely lacking in information right now."

    Isen would know. Child hasn't studied religion, so he might not.

    "And us two," Child points at himself and Isen, "Are more in the 'looking for work' avenue. But we're willing to get up to a fair bit of mischief as far as our current companions are concerned, as long as there's an escape route, maybe off-world, in case things get bad."


    "Do you know how he captured you?" Kaetrix asked. "I can't say for sure, but it might have something to do with why he took Relstanna..."

  • "Honestly, my memory's a bit fuzzy on that. I had managed to secure passage to a small frontier settlement that was having some trouble with monster attacks. Before I was able to leave, something must have happened, since the next thing I remember is waking up naked in some kind of jelly-filled pod with tubes sticking out of me in that facility across from Phai. Who is Relstanna?"


    "Relstanna is an elali seer, one of the foremost experts on Argosan history and Patron artifacts." she explained. "If the Hegemony wants her, she either knows something or they think she knows something valuable. It could be something like fixing a Gate, or..." Kaetrix frowned slightly. "If you want to go home, she might be able to help."

    "Fixing the gates?" Isen rubbed his chin. "I always assumed the things were somewhat difficult to damage, but I suppose there must be a way to damage them. And fixing them would be a first step in learning to build them anew." He paused, considering. "Also, while I've awoken naked and in jelly, it usually involved alcohol rather than the gates."

    Child-of-Planes laughed, softly. "Home? Home is camels, and death." And then, after a few seconds of thought, "My brother's spirit would certainly enjoy rescuing a captive seer, though some of the others might be less interested in participating. But... why would Lomrick send thugs after you, if he already has this seer?"

  • "Breaking a gate isn't as hard as you might think..." When the others looked toward the large auttaine he looked a bit sheepish and continued. "The facility we were being held in was somewhere else. There was some kind of caustic atmosphere and the building's defenses were malfunctioning. We found a gate and were able to activate it by overloading the normal safeguards. After we made it through the gate, it shut down, and it didn't look like it'd be activating again any time soon, though even if it did, there's probably not much to return to. The place was falling apart, I can only imagine what happened after the defenses fell.

    "Anyways, if Lomrick found out about the destruction of the gate, that might lead him to push the Hegemony to abducting someone with the knowledge to repair it. With luck, he doesn't actually know that we were involved, though somehow I doubt much slips by him if he's as powerful as you suggest."


    "Most likely, he's trying to get rid of anyone who knows anything at all about what he's doing." Kaetrix said, scowling. "Must've found out I was asking about him... jagladine scum. But if you were at a malfunctioning gate, that definitely sounds like something the Hegemony would want to fix. They've been nervous about Argosa ever since we shut one right in their faces, and they'd love to have that kind of knowledge for their war with the Accord."

    Child's eyes opened a bit. "Lomrick's Jagladine? That... hmm."

    "Jagladine?" Isen paused for a moment. "Well, that certainly explains why he's given us all such a warm welcome. I assume that next it will involve experiments and torture? That seems to be there usual method." Rubbing his eyes, Isen continued, "So...what we're thinking is that he's researching how to repair gates so the Jagladine can expand there attacks into those who close or destroy them to stop the invasions, and he's looking to steal or silence anyone who can help or hinder? I suppose this moves to the top of my to-do list."

  • "I feel like we got dropped into some complicated game and we don't even know the rules. Jagladine, Argosa, Accord... since you guys seem to know at least a little about what's going on, could you fill me in?

    "Somewhat," Isen said with a face, "Although only the more general terms. Have you ever heard those bard's tales about good fighting evil, an evil so utterly horrific and without hope of redemption that merely being within it's presence can blacken the souls for those around them? That is the Jagladine. They travel through the gates to conquer others, capturing and experimenting so they can create the Klaven - shock troopers - to go forth and capture yet more worlds. That would have been my fate, if not for some timely intervention."

    Pausing to sip a drink, Isen added, "This planet is Argosa. As you may have noticed, it has access to a fair few gates. I've also heard stories about quite a few ruins that might contain interesting items and secrets, although the people here prefer to leave those lie as they feel there is a danger to them. Either would attract the Jagladine's eye, I would imagine. I'm guessing it was sealing that Gate which is the only thing stopping an invasion."

    "As for Accord..." Isen shrugged. "I'm afraid I know little, beyond they fight the Jagladine. Why or for what reason I don't know."

  • "I see. The gate we arrived here from was hidden within a ruin outside of the city. And as we were trying to leave, we had to fight our way through some klaven who were apparently guarding the gate."


    Kaetrix shook her head slightly. "Sucks to be out of the loop, doesn't it?" she said ruefully. She clearly didn't blame you for your lack of knowledge - it wasn't like everyone could know everything happening on every world, especially people from places that had only recently been contacted. "Okay, history time."

    "First off, know that our information is incomplete, so some of this could be wrong." she said, gazing firmly at each of you. "Anyway, based on archaeological records, we think there was a war that took place a long time ago between two groups that could make gates - we call them the Patrons and the Principalities. Each of them uplifted quite a few species - magic, technology, selective breeding, whatever worked to make them smarter, stronger, and better able to fight. Eventually, both of them vanished - no, we don't know how or why - leaving behind the remnants of what they'd done. The Ultari Hegemony follows the Principalities, and that's who the jagladine work for. Heck if I know what they're really after, but if the klaven are anything to go by, it's nothing good. The Bellanic Accord is the main force opposing the Hegemony, mostly because they're the descendants of races the Patrons got involved with. So the war's never really ended... it's just being fought by different people, and not quite as obviously as before."
