Gameday 3: The Frostfur Captives (Inactive)

Game Master Baerlie

Orophin will excuse himself to check on the goblins before the meal.

"How are you my little friends?" he asks, sharing food with them, and eating himself.

After making sure he has had at least something to eat and drink Orophin returns to the main way-station. There he looks over the people to see if any are in need of healing.

Taking a seat by the fire he turns down any food or drink offered.
"For now, let me gaze into the fire. For there is life within that too - a mystery - yes?."

He does his best to be polite about it.
Takes ten on diplomacy for 23

Usaeoti watches Ironjaw, listening to his instruction, scratching his head and shuffling his feet, when Ironjaw explains the counting knocks Usawoti looks a little nervous, finally he says

Salt stay outside, Salt open door for Eponine

salt stays outside the door carefully watching

perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

After eating Tenerek will relieve Salt so he can get a warm meal as he must be suffering in the cold.

So right now Tenerek is eating, gimme a yell when he's had a meal and sit down, enough time for him to get some of the chills out and then Tenerek will go out and let Osawoti come in for a warm meal.

still particapting, mandower just isn't saying much.

"Please excuse me, gentlemen. I shall be back in just a moment."

bluff: 1d20 ⇒ 9

You take a seat in the mess hall and Enrik and another man, a chaplain, serve food and drinks. There is roasted turkey, stewed potatoes, and spiced wine.

Usawoti is sitting outside the storage door where Eponine and the goblins are, he has shed his coat and his boots and is presently bighting his toenails to trim them back, as he continues his oral pedicure he stays alert, looking around the building carefully.

perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

when he hears an unusual sound he quickly places his boots back on and stands up.

perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Gustav wastes no time. If he hasn't already gone to the goblins as above, he dismisses himself now and proceeds directly to the little guys.

Usawoti and Gustav notice the noise on the roof.

Usawoti, after putting on his boots, opens the door to the storage, pointing to the ceiling and asks Eponine

hear?

Tenerek has not heard anything, he does note the others acting a little odd but unless someone comes and tells him different he'll finish his meal, warm himself then go and see Usawoti.

sorry Tenerek, Usawoti was away from the group and immediately went to check to see if Eponine heard.

That's fine your doing what your supposed to do and just as what he would do I've been saying he'd go see you. I was just making sure people knew what I was doing

perception: 1d20 ⇒ 20

While gazing into the fire, Orophin is listening to the conversation around him. The sound on the roof however is unusual and irritating.

He stands and looks upwards.

"There is someone, or something on the roof." he announces to the room.[/b" a note of concern in his voice.

While Usawoti talks to Eponine two men climb down the ladder through a trap door from the roof. They attack.

Round 1
Tenerek
Usawoti
Mandower
Blackraven red
Blackraven blue
Orophin
Eponine
Enrik
Gustav
Chaplain

At Orophins announcement, Tenerek draws his sword

"Enrik what goes on here?"

"Freyr Darkwine is no king," Enrik shouts. "It is not for him to erase a weregild of a thousand years to convenience the Pathfinders. Kill us all if you must, but you’ll not drag us before his justice. Those goblins will die like the monsters they are!"

"Speak sense man! We are not taking you to anyone's justice. You offered us shelter for the night."

Orophin tries to calm the man.
diplomacy: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32

Perseption: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Fearing something is afoot (see Sense Motive above) Eponine will drink her mutagen if she hears the foot steps

Usawoti standing in the open doorway, holding his taiaha in both hands attacks the nearest attacker blue

Bad man, Usawoti mean salt

two weapon attack, with taiaha

club attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 for damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
spear attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14 for damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Tenerek upon joining the dots runs off to the goblins room

I double move to get to where I am now. they are far away, I better go help my buddy. I took every diagnol I possibly could

Green and magenta are Ironjaw and chaplain, respectively? Blue and red are the two from the roof? Just trying to get my bearings.

Yes, green is Ironjaw and magenta is the chaplain. Blue and red are the additional Blackravend from the roof.

"Oh, you can have shelter for the night. The holes in the woods are already dug." Enrik answers to Orophin's question.
Orophin changed his attitude to unfriendly

Tenerek and Mandower hear Usawoti and Eponine and immediately run to the storage room. Usawoti attacks the Blackraven who just appeared in front of him and hits him with his spear.

The Blackravens from the roof try to get into the storage room, but Usawoti is in their way. The attack but do not do any damage.
Battleaxe blue: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Battleaxe red: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

Tenerek realises they shouldn't both go

"Mandower pick one? Do you want to go back and help Orophin and Gustav or go forward and help Eponine and Usawoti? I'll go help whoever you don't choose.

Orophin continues to try to talk with the man.

"Look, these are captives. We are escorting them from one place to another for interrogation - as they have vital infomraiton. We are doing this to try and save lives, including those of your friends."

He calls over his shoulder to the pathfinder team.

"Fight defensively, or at the least just use the flats of your blades. These are good people."
diplomacy: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26

Enrik stares at Orophin, he seems to think for a moment. "Maybe you are right. Maybe these goblins are not as evil as the ones who killed my famaly a few months ago." he says. "Let them go, Blackravens!" he commands the others. They also stop to fight.

Combat over, Enrik is now indifferent.

Tenerek moves back to Orophin and Gustav.

"Fortune favours us this day, no one died"

Usawoti continues standing in the doorway, waving his taiaha in a threating manner at the two men who came through the ceiling. If they retreat he will only glare at them but not follow, as long as they are nearby he keeps his taiaha raised in as intimidating posture as possible.

"Thank you Enrik. There is no sense in any more dieing because of a goblin raid from months ago. What these know may save lives - you made the right choice."

He looks around the room.

"Bring all the wounded together, to me."

Once everyone is within thirty feet, Orophin sits down and opens himself up to the life forces in the wood all around. Slowly he pulls them together, meshing their energies into his own. Then, when he feels as if he would burst should be try to hold them in any longer, Orophin releases the life force in an interse burst, healing all around.

channeled healing: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 2) + 1 = 5

"Now, let us all rest, as comrades in the fight against evil."

"Thank you Orphin! You have done the Pathfinder's proud today. No needless death is a great accomplishment!" Eponine tells the bard, assuming Ironjaw lets her back out of the storage room.

"Lets keep the Goblins under guard and secure, no need to tempt fate"

Tenerek will take over Goblin guard duty if needed.

Usawoti, not quite sure what happened, men attacked, then the fighting stopped then Orophin healed everyone, even the bad men.

civilized people are strange

he opens the door to the storage room and says

night night Tenerek, night night greenie gobbo goblins

Usawoti takes out his bedroll and places it in front of the door to the storage room that the goblins are in. he will sleep in front of the door so anyone coming or going must step over him.

The two Balckravens and the chaplain claim, that they attacked only because Enrik orderd it. They don't know why and they didn't ask, because a good Blackraven never asks for the reason.

One of the Blackravens is hurt, not badly, but it's bleeding. Orophin is able to heal his wounds. Tenerek switches with Eponine and looks after the goblins while the rest of you prepares for the night.

"There are brunk beds behind that wall. You can rest there if you want. It's not far to Trollheim, you should reach it by tomorrow." Enrik says. Then he turns to his Blackravens. "You may also have a rest, I will take the first watch. And if the goblins want to get out of the storage room, please let them. There is some food left in the kitchen."

"Thank you all, kind sirs. It's easy to be angry when loved ones are hurt or lost. A toast to Enrik!"

Gustav claps Enrik on the back and lifts his unfinished cup to the big Ulfen.

Usawoti, trying to sleep in front of the door, tossing and turning shifting his blanket. Unhappy that he could not teach the bad men a lesson. Now his friends are making nice with them. He truly does not understand civilized behavior. Finally tiring of all the gaiety he sits up putting his finger to his lips and gives the revelers a loud

Sssshhhh

then laying back down in front of the door, pulling his blanket up over his head he sticks his fingers in his ears and goes to sleep.

Mandower will take a nap as well, he is tired from doing a whole lot of nothing. =)

Eponine stops her revels at Usawoti's request, and likewise opts to sleep with the goblins, in the storage room.

"Sleep well Usawoti, which means Salt. You did good."

Orophin nods, sitting down by the fire, but making sure the goblins didn't play with it too much.

"You all did good. Minimal bloodshed, friends still friends, and vital information for the cause."

He stretches out and practises some simple goblin words, probably to the amusement of the assembled mass.

"Quite an evening. Alas, I fear it is coming to a close. Your pardons, friends. My companions and I will need to be well rested if we mean to reach Trollheim as scheduled. Good night."

Gustav takes one last trip to the privy and retrieves the raven's skull before returning indoors to make use of the offered bunk beds.

He tries to stay awake to keep an eye out, but the fire and the warmth and the bed...

I'll just close my eyes for a moment...

After everybody falls asleep the night is quiet. The goblins are glad you saved their lifes and don't complain about anything. After a good night's rest you wake up refreshed the next day.

The journey to Trollheim is easy and without further incidents. You are able to deliver the captives to the extraction team just outside the heavily walled and densely populated city of Trollheim. You have a few minutes to say goodbye to the goblins.

The goblins give a last worried look over their shoulders before they're hustled away.

Usawoti stands quietly nearby, happy to be out of the deep cold, no longer wearing his bed role as a shawl. He shuffles from foot to foot wishing it was warm enough not to wear the heavy boots. As the goblins leave he waves good by and says

goodbye greenie gobbo goblins

GM Baerlie, will the team travel back together or do they part ways here?

The scenario ends here, but if you want to travel back together, it's not a problem, we can roleplay the meeting with Dreng :)

no I had a goodbye planned just wanted to make sure we were finished :)

Usawoti then sets his pack down laying his taiaha beside it and carefully retrieves the items that Eponine asked him to carry. As he returns them to her he whispers.

Usawoti it mean Salt, goodbye Eponine

As he returns the items to her he cups one knotted hand under her hands and places the other knotted hand on top and gently caresses hers. When he releases her hands he gently wipes a tear from his cheek, quickly turning he picks up his pack and taiha. As he leaves he turns around smiling and yells.

Goodbye friends, Gustav tell dead bird Salt say goodbye

once again GM Baerlie, thanks for working Salt in at the last moment, hope you didn't mind the "strong silent type" He was fun to play! Again, Thanks for running the game!

Tenerek waves goodbye

"Goodbye Usawoti, have an adventurous journey"

"Goodbye, my friend. I hope to work alongside you again."

Gustav offers his hand to shake and calls the bird to his shoulder.

"BYE! BYE! BYE!" it croaks.

A satisfied half-smile curls one corner of the Ustalavian's mustache.

"All of you, it has been a pleasure!"

Thank you all. Quite fun, I hope to play with you all again sometime soon. Baerlie, thanks for running the scenario.

Whenever you get back to the Lodge Venture-Captain Ambrus Valsin to report the success of the mission he thanks each of you for your hard work and for risking your lifes for the goblins.

"Not everybody is as selfless as you are. The goblins are in safety and are treated well. They have to answer some questions then they are free to go back to Irrisen." he says. "Some of them already asked about you, if you returned back safely. You can visit them if you want, arranging a short meeting is not a problem." He hands a pouch with money to each of you. "As always, this is the payment for your efforts. Thank you very much."

"Bye all. Good Journey"
