Mortika's "Severing Ties" Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master Chris Mortika

This is a PFS-legal play-by-post campaign for Scenario 4-07, "Severing Ties".

The Publican House is a sprawling building of rough-hewn wood and weathered shingles. Large bay windows of leaden glass provide an expansive view of the river. Loud cheers issue from the tavern, as does the sweet smell of spilled ale.

The Publican House is crowded today. Several intoxicated patrons lift stools and tables stacked with metal cups brimming with ale. As might be expected, the interior of the Publican House is spattered with large puddles of ale and broken furniture.

Ursion shoves through the doors ahead of the rest and immediately steps to the right of the doorway, alert for trouble.

Having changed back into his Taldoran ensemble, Maximo bursts into the Publican House on Kilian's heels.

"Bartender!" He calls to whoever seems a likely candidate for the job. "A fine glass of red please, and a round for the house!"

With zeal Maximo begins to work the crowd, making friends, flirting heavily with women, and arranging a performance of Guilded Oppara, supported by his companions and any other performers in the place.

Once that has been accomplished, he attempts to ride the wave of good will and seeks out the "man or woman in charge" with the intent of making this proposal - a drinking game for the right to use the House Cup for the night.

I'll use a reroll if the check for the song is 8 or less. I'm also trying to get everyone else involved if possible (for assistance bonuses). Perhaps even trick Badr into joining the song under the pretense that it is vital to the success of the mission (which it is in Maximo's opinion.

Shel nods and tries to help influence the house as best as she can, trying to get the song performed well. She also keeps a keen eye out to make sure no one seems to be paying undue attention To the group.

Happy Stone stops briefly before entering the Publican House, tentative in his actions.

Last time I was in one of these temples, I did thinks I don't usually do and drank more than I thought possible. These people will make me do things that I do not usually do. I do not trust these celebrants. We will not easily find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.

Happy enters, following the rest, and immediately seeks a safe table at which to drink

When seated, he orders a weak drink and pays in coppers. Happy will drink slowly while the talkymen talk.

Badr does his best to follow up on his leads, also returning to a basic, neutral attire - the rough configuration of islands along the coast, the name of his sought captain and the ship she travelled on and information on the family.

Chun Hei, let us make one more push for it if you could? I will support your efforts on my behalf

Assuming ChunHei will help me head the investigation, I'll aid another

Happy Stone sits and sips his drink.

As a matter of good manners, he lets out a loud belch to show his enjoyment of the drink.

I hate this place.


All right. Let's take this in parts.

The Redelia team: on the plus side, you have Maximo's boisterous generosity making people friendly for you; on the negatives, a tavern this well-lubricated isn't the best place to get coherent information out of people....

Badr's assist: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (11) - 1 = 10; just good enough!
Chun Hei's Gather Information: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28 + 2 = 30!

At first, the conditions make it difficult to track down your information:

Caiden follower #1: "Ridel'a? Haaaah. You wanna shpeak wit' Holgrim ov'r there."
You: "The big guy who's passed out in the corner?"
Caiden follower #1: (brightly) "Tha'sh 'im!"

Eventually, you get somebody with both some information and a coherent tongue.

Caiden follower #17: Ridelia's a able sailor and a good captain, if'n you can get on 'er fair side. If you know your way 'round a ship, you stand a chance t' get along with her. Otherwise, the trip's surely gonna be hell.

"She has more'n her share of enemies 'round Riddleport, an' she stands out, what with being an elf and all. That's why she's got a couple of hide-aways on the islands 'round the Gulf. She don't trust anybody in town with her gains, an' I can't say as I blame her.

"The people I'd be worryin' about are her, um, 'family'. 'Bout ten years ago, she sort of settled down with some scrawny fellow named Josef, just as a lark. Elves! Josef is a good-hearted sort, a little dopey between the ears, but he takes good care of Niana and Frelinda. When Ridelia's in town, she sometimes looks 'em up. Sometimes not.

"If Ridelia's skipped town, she's likely sent Josef and the girls off somewhere else, more as decoys rather than for their safety.

--

Maximo, a round for the house will cost 20 gold, and earn you a +2 modifier to get people singing "Gilded Oppara".

Shel's Assist: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
James' Assist: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14; good enough!
Maximo's Perform (sing): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16 + 2 = 18.

There was a lot of heart in that rendition.

Several patrons seem to have caught the words as "Guilt in Apartments", but they're still chugging away at improvised lyrics several minutes later.

---

You meet with High Publican Rolf, who serves as both priest and barkeep. If you shaved a grizzly bear and stuck it in an apron, that would correspond pretty well with your impression of this man.

"Aspis Consortium? Yeah, um, listen. I knew you was comin', and so I set aside the Holy Tankard fer ya. It's our most sacred relic here, but I understand you wantin' your payment back, and we ain't in no shape to pay off the debt, so, yeah, it's yours.

"But, well, today's a big celebration, as you all can see. And so we set up some contests, and one of the acolytes, he don't listen so good, and he took the cup and set it up there among the prizes."

Rolf points to a ledge about 10 feet above the ground. There's a battered metal mug there, along with a bottle of some dark gold liquid and a teak goblet.

"What I can do is admit one or two of you into the drink-balancing contest as late entrants; if one of you wins, you can select the mug as a prize. But, um, I am l a little concerned that allowing you to just walk up and swipe the prize without winning it may damage the temple's reputation or even start a brawl."

You look out into the room, and picture the crowd turning ugly. Some of them look like the kind of person who'd run after you. Some of them look fast.

Rolf thinks a bit, and then asks. "What do you mean, '... for the night'? You Consortium bums want to take it as forfeit, isn't that right?"

---

A short woman, blue-skinned and dripping wet, takes a seat next to 'Happy Stone'. Her hair is a collection of blues and greens. Her webbed hand rubs the rim of her glass before taking it by the stem and raising it to her lips. "You look like a land-locked lagoon. Come here often?"

Not sure, but it appears Team Taldor failed again? Looking at the rolls and support I'm not seeing performers, so I assume none were available? Also, how was Maximo's perform calculated? I had said previously that I wanted to try and use Permorm (oratory), which I thought you said would be ok. Even without that the bonus seems smaller than I thought it would be. I'm guessing we're probably only a couple points away from success, and one or two boosts would probably push us over the top.


I hate singing

RPG Superstar 2010 Top 16

Team Taldor succeeded. (The DC was 15.) You could have used Perform (oratory), but Perform (singing) was more opportune.

Sovereign Court

Human Gentleman | AC 20 FF 19 T 13 | HP 78/79 | F +15 R +13 W +13 | Init +1 | Perception +5

Really? Huh. I think I'll play out Maximo with the impression that he failed.

Downing his wine with slight irritation, Maximo gives the crowd out in the room a frown of disappointment. No dancers, no acrobats. A mitigated disaster! The Prince himself would surely have made excuses to find the privy to avoid that wretched performance.

Turning back to Rolf with a smile suddenly conjured like a magic trick, he says in a low voice. "Aha, you mistake our intentions, my friend. Perhaps a few days ago a visit from the Consortium would have come in the night and left you muggless and in debt." Because it would have actually been the Consortium, heh! "However, Jenk's poor handling of your economic agreement has led to a certain change of plans. Your business with the consortium might still prove profitable, but not under Jenk. We only need borrow your relic for one night to make the proper example of him."


????


Rolf chuckles. "I don't know this Jenkins fellow you're speaking of, but I'll chalk it up to the god's good fortune!

"It looks like the drink-lifting competition is about to begin. The object is to lift a piece of furniture that has some ale on top. Whoever lifts the larger chunk of wood wins. If that's a tie, then whoever tries to lift the more cups without and spills. If that's a tie too, then whoever can drink the remaining, unspilled ale fastest.

"The way we run that around here, there's a stool, like the one you're sitting on, or a table, like the one your friend the rock-creature is sitting at, or a whole friggin' side-board.

"It looks like we're starting up the competition. Fisheye Fwerd is trying for a stool with six cups, and, oh my, “Big Arvin” Dalson is putting three cups on a table. So, which of you is trying for this?"

Any or all of you can compete. The contest matches strength, agility, and drinking stamina. Once you step forth to compete, it would strike the locals as poor sportsmanship for someone else to rig the contest with overt assistance.


Darvin is not much of a drinker so he will attempt to intimidate the other competitors with a dazzling display. In hopes that they will forfeit.

Shel's stature or lack there of was an obvious detriment to entering the drinking contest. "Any volunteers? Max, Sad Rock? Any others? We need to win that mug, or you need to make a great distraction if you lose, so I can snatch it."

"Excellent!" Maximo exclaims, rubbing his hands together and stepping to another table. "Six cups on on table please!"

Once the tabke is set, he squats beside it, stretches a little to warm up, and attempts to lift it up on a shoulder. "A simple task. Just remember to Lift with the Legs!"

Unsmiling, "Ursion" steps up and hands his polearm to Shel. "Start with four on a table, and we'll see if I need to go up from there."

Happy Stone stares at the 'woman' for a bit before answering, a bit confuzzled by her appearance.

She's strange looking. Not like usual normal friends, like the nagaji. Or the kitsune. This one weird.

"Uh, Happy Stone come far away find work. You have work?"

Nice.

* * *

"Uh, Happy Stone not good drinker," Stone replies to the offers to the drinking contest. "Happy Stone strong though."


Killian looks at one of the sideboards. He lifts one side to get a feel for it. He thinks he could lift it, if he got lucky. It's doable, but not without effort. (That is, if you Took 10 on a Strength check, you could lift the stool, come close to lifting the table, but not the sideboard. A very good roll could get the sideboard above your head, though.)

--

The strange, wet woman leans back, with an expression suggesting she's enjoying some aspect of this conversation. "Oh, there's always work in Riddleport for someone with talent." For the first time, Sad Rock notices that the oman is discretely armed, a short rapier hanging by her side. The basket-hilt is made of some red metal, with filigree in the shape of a rose. "My name is Dynamene. At your service." She breathes on the drink, and a gentle rime of frost settles on the glass. She takes another sip.

"Go," she says, urging Sad Rock towards the games. "I'll cheer you on."

Happy Stone looks at Dynameme and gives a forced smile.

"Uhm. Happy Stone never do these things right."

Dude, I think she likes you.
I don't want to blow this.
Say something smart then.
But...but...but...if we had a baby would it be mud?
What!?!?

"Maybe you go and Happy Stone root for you? I don't think she wants mud baby."

Bra-vo.


Dynamene blinks twice, slack-jawed, and then laughs. "All right, then." She rises from her seat and sets her drink on the table. She points at 'Happy Stone': "Remember. You promised."

So, the competitors are:


  • Fisheye Fwerd, lifting a stool with six cups.
    "Fwerd's not got much muscle on those bones, but if he can keep all six cups from spilling, then he's got a good shot at winning this."
  • Akbar Shadow-tongue, going for a table of six cups.
    "A stranger to these parts, but a likable sort. Seems to appreciate a challenge."
  • Dynamene Foamchaser, lifting a stool with, can it be? Nine cups!
    "I've never seen her participate in one of these before. Are priests of Cayden Cailean even allowed to play in his temple's contest? I guess so!"
  • Ursion, raising a table of four mugs.
    "A sideman to the more flamboyant Akbar, it would seem. Perhaps taking less risky gambles is his back-up strategy."
  • Big Arvin Dalson, looks around at all the competitors trying to lift tables, and smiles, showing a noticeable sparseness of teeth. He places the three mugs on a sideboard and bobs his head, happy with himself.
    "If Arvin can lift that sideboard, even if he spills a bit here or there, he's a shoo-in."

Shel is assisting Ursion.
Darvin is readying to bedazzle one of the other competitors.
Chun Hei has her own plans.
Happy Stone is, well, cheering on Dynamene.

The lift:
Fisheye Fwerd: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 -- cannot lift even a simple stool. Out of the running.
Akbar: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18 -- nice job!
Dynamene: 1d20 ⇒ 20 -- with one hand, like it weighed no more than a bucket!
Ursion lifts the table in one snatch.
Big Arvin: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 -- cannot make purchase. He heaves, and something snaps in his back. His eyes grow wide, and he shuffles off to the sidelines, sweating heavily, hunched over in pain.

Darvin, are you going to try to bollux Dynamene?

Human Gentleman | AC 20 FF 19 T 13 | HP 78/79 | F +15 R +13 W +13 | Init +1 | Perception +5

Ooo.. the tension mounts! This is going to be a close one.

From under his table, Maximo glances at Dynamene. "Ooooh My!" He grunts under the strain of holding his own up. "A person would be lucky to feel the embrace of such lovely and strong limbs." He winks, then eyes Happy Stone with a knowing grin.

Any chance I could use bluff in a sort of feint to cause her a penalty to dex for the next part? Or at least make her blush? Heh.

Happy Stone cheers on Dynameme, pounding his sipping drink on the table and making random noises of support.

Gotta blend in, gotta blend in, gotta blend in...


The contestants maneuver delicately, trying not to spill their drinks. Maximo, you're too busy keeping your own drinks stable to worry about sabotaging your opponent.

Suddenly, the phrase, "drink you under the table" takes on a whole new meaning...

Shel's assist: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11; she can spot for Maximo, guiding him in which way to adjust the tabletop.
'Happy Stone's' assist: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17; his moral support makes Dynamene smile, giving her confidence; she'll need it!

Suddenly, the villainous Darvin pulls his pistol and swings it around in a magnificent show, attempting to intimidate a cleric in her own temple.
Intimidate: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20; the Undine is shaken.

The Balancing:
Akbar: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 1 + 2 = 18; a gentleman knows how to hold his liquor.
Dynamene: 1d20 + 2 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 + 2 - 2 = 9; too ambitious by half, she loses the center of balance, and a couple of mugs crash to the floor around her. Taken aback by Darvin's threatening display, she pulls back and the rest of the cups fall as well.
Ursion steadies his drinks, not spilling more than a couple of drops.

Akbar has won, with Ursion a close second. But, as Akbar keeps his eyes on his table, the acclaim he's expecting to hear is not forthcoming. Instead, the tavern is suddenly silent. Still.

"You'll be replacing your terrible thunder-weapon immediately. Yes?" asks Rolf. Between Akbar and Ursion, a whisper of steel is the only sound that the undine makes as her rapier clears its sheath.

If everyone would be so kind as to put weapons down I propose we call this a draw for now and proceed to the drinking. I will even offer to swap the number of cups with the lovely lady here!"


"Uh sorry, I was just practicing a uhhh performance, you know trying to show off a bit for the ladies. I didn't even have the hammer pulled back. In all honesty I must confess I was a little jealous in the interest you showed my friend Happy over there. But in any event a win is a win is it not?"

Darvin is flush with a mixture of anger & embarrassment, and slowly holsters his pistol.

Restart??? The cup should not even be available for a prize and Kilian and Maximo want to start over. Aspis consortium we are not...


You try to calm things down, and molify the offended clergy.

Shel's Assist: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13; the halfling is helpful.

LOL, I agree, Darvin. You made things very exciting. I love the picture of you twirling your pistol around, intimidating the cleric! That's awesome...


(If Badr decides to assist: 1d20 ⇒ 2; won't help much.)

Maximo's Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25; there we go.

Apparently mollified, the temple priests have a short conversation. Rolf looks stern as he pronounces judgement. "You are strangers here, and Caiden Cailean teaches tolerance and welcome. Your outburst was innocent of malice, but it carries penalties nonetheless.

"Harsh penalties.

"Your allies, Akbar and Ursion, forfeit their place. The prize goes to Dynamene."

The undine walks over to the prizes, and makes a show of deciding which to take. After hovering over the teak goblet, she chooses the dinged-up mug, and hands it to Happy Stone. "My gift. Bring it back in good condition, eh?"
