If we only incapacitate them we can revive them -- there's no need to kill. Can anyone see if The Witch is still bleeding out or not?

You men following Bolingbroke, your actions here will follow you to the lawful trial of the Witch and her treasonous stooge, Roger Bolingbroke. You will be with him at Court before Lord Gloucester -- either beside him as Duke Humphrey sends him to his execution, or giving testimony as witness.

I pray you, search your feelings and your memories -- you have seen or heard some of the evil things these two conspirators have committed. Follow your heart and join us in subduing Bolingbroke to bring him to justice!

Can Hisao climb up the side of the steps or jump up in some fashion to end up on the top of the steps with Bolingbroke? Invisible of course

Yes, on your turn....


The three men-at-arms exchange grim and resolute looks...:

One speaks up: Right! We know something's been amiss around here for too long, don't we, lads!? Let's stand up for His Majesty and The Will o' The Almighty, aye!?

The others nod in response, and all three turn their blades on Bolingbroke....

Bolingbroke utters a quick incantation, and vanishes to everyone's but Paddy's eyes!

Casting greater invisibility on himself....

Though it seems like ages ago, Iommi-Tyr Magnusson drank his tonic of See Invisibility only a few minutes ago, correct?...

It was, I believe, three rounds before handing the forged note to The Witch of Eye and following her back here, dispatching her in six seconds and waiting a few minutes for the guards to get here and talk before Roger Bolingbroke arrived. (I believe he spent three rounds casting stuff on himself before arriving.) So I'm pretty sure my See Invisibility still has a good half hour or so left on it.

So Tyr still sees Bolingbroke as well....

Didn't the men ready for spellcasting too? Nonlethal is -4 to attacks.

Nacht, figuring this being was the one mentioned by the female-being thinks on what to so to it. Eventually he settles on a tactic he foun d useful in a previous matter, though yet no one knew he had fully been involved in the elimination of the artist.

From the ather, Nacht's swift and brutal hands reached out to begin to choke the being before it can act.

Scorpion Ant Grapple: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29

Spent a round to gain Ant Focus. If Grappled, he needs to make a Concentration Check DC 10+14+Spell level of the spell. This is against his Flat Footed CMD btw.

As Nacht seems to be doing a very good job of strangling the man Hisao has a fairly good idea of where the evil magic user is. He invisibly pushes his way past the guards and guesses at where a non lethal point on the invisible man would be.

Please add bonus for Hisao being invisible and flanking, Bolingbroke being grappled, non lethal stab: 1d20 + 9 - 5 ⇒ (3) + 9 - 5 = 71d6 + 2 + 3d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 2 + (2, 3, 3) + (5) = 20

Bolingbroke seems unphased by the flames of Iommi-Tyr's bomb, as though he were magically protected from fire....

You do get the miss chance Hisao and dont get Sneak attack... because he is invis. And you dont have Shadow Strike.

Even if he did, Shadow Strike only negates partial concealment.

Foereaper's arcing course is arrested as the blade sinks into something invisible and a mist of red fills the air!

AAAAAAAAHHG!!!

Those able to see the invisible, grappled warlock see his face draining of color and a glazed look of pain in his eyes as he struggles to remain conscious and fighting....

Good point....

Rather than a red mist in the air, the blade of the scythe clearly shudders as it impacts something invisible and an audible gasp is heard as it knocks the wind out of Bolingbroke's sails....

He's still kicking though....

Paddy's hook is as fast as a cat swatting at its prey, and catches Bolingbroke in the ribs--there is a cracking sound--and the struggling warlock gives up the struggle, going limp in Nacht's arms!

Nacht, unaware that the being had fully given up squeezes he old=being tightly, it still unseeable by his eyes. Slamming it unceremoniously to the ground.

Guards, thank you for showing your loyalty to His Grace.

While we attend to Bolingbroke's wounds, ensuring he will survive to be fairly tried in His Majesty's Court, will you tell us of the things you have seen recently that indicated Bolingbroke was consorting with evildoers?

Perhaps a tour of the manor?....

Also, let us untie the maid that I had to impersonate in order to separate Bolingbroke from The Witch of Eye.
.... Dear madam, I hope you are not too terribly frightened by all of this.

Iommi-Tyr Magnusson finally drops his illusion so he looks like the Viking Scholar he his.
Please, dear madam, have you also seen evidence of Bolingbroke consorting with evildoers?...

. . . . Finally, someone should make sure the children are taken care of and do not see their father unconscious on the floor. Let us keep the basement door closed for now.

Pray tell us,... where is The Lady Bolingbroke?

Paddy takes a length of rope and binds the now unconscious Bollingbroke's hands and feet, as well as a gag. He also rifles through his pockets, looking for anything that the bound man might use to escape or hurt someone.

perception: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (7) + 21 = 28

That ought to hold him. He should be watched nonetheless....I don't trust him.

Once it appears as if the maid & guards are fully agreeable -- and if they don't challenge our motives or have any questions, but rather seem ready to help -- I'll point to the box about which my invisible friend has asked.

I just want to see if there's anything else they want to say or ask before we go to the evil box. Giving Mike a chance to post for the NPCs.


M Human unchained monk 8/paladin 6

In answer to Iommi-Tyr's inquiries, the guards and maid relate several suspicious things they have heard or witnessed in Bolingbroke's employ....

Forthcoming.... I'm at work ATM and it's getting busy....

Nacht turns to the smart-being known as Tyr and motions far behind itself, a wraith-like English coming from it, " That being followed behind, it said I was an.. angel. It said not to kill "

Nacht slams Bolingbroke up and down lightly to designate what exactly.


Last Hallow's Eve, I swear by Saint George, I saw Mister Bolingbroke a-riding a coal-black horse with glow in' red eyes an' hooves an' nostrils ablaze with hellfire!

"Please, Nacht. There's no need to hurt the man further." Alphonse says with a sigh.

To the man-at-arms "You're certain this is the truth? Hearsay and fanciful tales will only hurt our case. If you can truly testify to this, then we need you as a witness."

Verily, sir, I swear it! He was riding down Fleet Street in the dark o' night, on some infernal errand, no doubt.... The black horse.... My grand sire used to tell tales o' hell-steeds called nightmares! It were one o' them, I reckon....

A fortnight ago, I saw Mister Bolingbroke and The Witch of Eye flying up over the rooftops o' London-Town on broomsticks! swears the maid....

"Why did none of you ever report this to members of the Church?"


Just last Wednesday around vespers, I heard Mister Bolingbroke and the Duchess Eleanor consorting with....something....a wee imp o' sorts.... They called it Mister Forktail....


When we first began to notice such frightful things, we DID report them to Cardinal Beaufort, but His Grace commanded us to keep silence and merely observe and report to him alone anything unusual.... So we have been reporting to Cardinal Beaufort.... But he has taken no action, and it's been nearly a year now that we've been reporting monthly to His Grace.... It's almost as if....he already knew of Mister Bolingbroke's and Miss Jourdemaiyne's involvement in the dark arts, and....and....approved of it all! Pardon my saying so....

Alphonse looks troubled.

"No need to ask forgiveness for speaking what you believe to be the truth. This is...disturbing news. It is indeed odd that the Cardinal would not even attempt to investigate claims of witchcraft."

"We must certainly tread carefully now. The Cardinal likely holds as much sway as the Duke here."

No it is not. I have always believed Cardinal Beaufort to be an evil man -- and not because he's truly a bastard son but because he's always been corrupt. I did not suspect him of witchcraft or consorting with the Beast, Conflagratious, but I for one am not at all surprised to learn he has.

....Guards and Madam, do you know anything of that box lying on the floor over yonder? The one around which that line of ants circumnavigates?

And can you take us to other items in this manor of which you are suspect of showing evil proof against Bolingbroke and Jourdemayne?

Does the man-at-arms really refer to Jourdemayne as The Witch of Eye or does he say "Miss Jourdemayne"?

.
.
.

For the record, I would be really stoked if my PC even participated in killing off Beaufort! I mean, I realize I can't go back in history and kill the real Bastard Beaufort but hey, this is the next best thing, right?!
