Law And Disorder: City of Twilight (Inactive)

Game Master Jib916

The arrow can be found pointing to the left.

He points in the direction of the arrow. That way.

"Let's go then." Kilarny says dumping the goblin corpses into the putrid water. "But give me a moment and keep that light with me."

First, he smeared filth over the arrow and the goblin blood to erase the mark telling them which way to go. Then he quickly scratched something similar on the other wall, pointing down the wrong corridor.

Then, putting just the heel of his boot in goblin blood, Killarny ran a ways down the other corridor leaving a bloody half-footprint trail that faded as the blood smeared with every step. Then he hopped across the water and ran back on the balls of his feet so his heels wouldn't touch.

"Probably won't fool a good tracker long, but if they're in a hurry it might be enough."

Shannon tilts a marble-smooth chin in Killarny's direction. His spotlight follows along, positioning itself to provide dramatic angles to Killarny's track-covering that send his shadow lurching in menace across the dank sewer walls.

When Killarny returns, Shannon nods in approval and follows off in the direction the original arrow indicated. Not long after, he muses an aside to the man.

One might think this isn't the first time you've eluded the law. It is clear the statement is rhetorical in nature, and solicits no incriminating response.

"Fortunes of a misspent youth."

The Red Mask snorts at Killarny's comment. "You could call it that." he says, grinning. How much farther do these tunnels go I wonder. This place stinks.

You run down the twists and turns of the sewer when you finally reach an arrow that points up to manhole. Right at the very moment, however, the sound of running clanking armor can be heard from behind. Soon after there is a large thud and the sound of a woman screaming, begging for mercy.

"Janiven!

The boy runs down the hall, the way the group came.

"Gods damn it." the Red Mask says, sheathing his longsword and with pistol drawn following the boy back into the sewer tunnel. Can't let the little man get hurt, and don't want our new ringleader dead.

You said it, Quentin. Hellspawn cast a spell to be ready for whats next then follows. Casts Anticipate peril, +5 to next initiative roll in the next min.

Freedom was only a manhole cover away. Above, he could disappear into the dingy sector of Westcrown and be safe from the Dottari and what tortures he might be put through.

A longing glance to the exit, and then down the sewer to Morosino and Janiven's shout.

And gods save us, he adds, bringing up the rear of this impromptu cavalry.

"If Arael is still at liberty, he's going to pay. This is a BAD DATE!" Looking down at the glop oozing paste, "Scratch that, this is a S&@!##Y DATE." And Ronwn slogs along behind the others, limbering her sling and loading a stone.

When you know you're walking into a trap... his father's voice rang in his ears.

Walk hard.

"F%@! it." Killarny muttered. "I don't need this."

And then he was gone into the dark.

Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

As Killarny disappears in the shadows the rest of the party makes there way to the screams. There they find some Hellkinght Armiger (Recruits) surrounding Janiven.

They all wear chainmail and have Longswords

Janiven get down!

Quentin, since you didn't take a move action, can I request that you 5' adjust. I want to end up where you are.

I'm delaying my action until Q acts.

Although Shannon notices Killarny's absence, he can't see him in the dark. His departure makes perfect sense; anyone with a "misspent youth" in Westcrown would know better than to dance with Hellknights over the welfare of a vocal revolutionary.

Yes, Quentin can 5' step foreward. Please amend my action GM.

"Janiven get down!'" Hellspawn yells as stepping forward into the sewage. He puts his hands forward and a rainbow of color shoots out. Only one of the gaurds Hellspawn targeted remain standing, the others, including Janiven, all fall down prone.

The Red Mask raises his pistol as he steps forward and fires it at the Hellknight next to Hellspawn. The man screams as the bullet pierces his side.

Pistol Attack Vs Hellknight Armiger(4) 3 damage

When the Hellknight recruits come into view, Shannon plants his feet and pivots theatrically, left arm akimbo, right arm pointing with judicial implication at the contingent. Shannon's voice skyrockets like a blaring siren which rattles like something between a mournful loon and a banshee shriek. Those well-versed in the theater might recognize it as the classical "entrance note" for a powerful devil on the Chelaxian stage. And one who refers to the fledgling recruits as the lowliest form of devil.
"Behold, ye Imps
Ye Toadlickers!
Bow before the powers of Hell
and beg Mercy of your Master's Scourge!"

Bard Song: +1 to Attack, +1 to Damage, +1 to Will Saves vs. Charm/Fear Effects

Morosino runs behind the tiefling, throwing his torch at the hellknight, the torch lands near his feat, as he is suddenly overcome by fear, as Janiven lies unconscious, Ronwn hurls a stone with her sling at one of the recruits, but misses.

Suddenly, out of the shadows a black cloaked figure with a smirking white mask, steps up behind Shannon, into the sewage.

"Kill The Wizard!!! The Hellknight Armiger(4) next to Hellspawn says, swinging his sword, landing a blow and causing a gash in Hellspawn's shoulder.

Longsword Attack Vs Hellspawn 4 damage

The Hellknight Armiger(1) Next to him, steps up to the teilfing and swings his weapon, missing the Wizard, as the farther Hellknight Armiger(5) steps up he yells."You are fools to think you can take on the Hellknights, surrender now and save your lives"

'I did not sign up for heroics tonight. A little excitement, a handsome young gentleman, a flirtation with treason and insurrection. Not so much with the sewers and the Hellknights. Oh darn.'

Taking a deep breath, Ronwn gets a running start behind Quentin, leaps across the stinking sewer, and rolls to a stop beside Janiven.

Round 2

"Fancy meeting you here." sliding her shoulder under Janiven, "Ohh.. you're going to be a heavy one. C'mon give me a bit of help if you can"
