Kyson
Zstelian
Silvio
The rogues -- apparently still stunned by the loud bang and Khazmia's spell -- shoot wide of Dargon again as the dwarf leaps forward. His target ducks down behind the table, though, easily avoiding the dwarf's axe.
Sekathral tries to roll past his foes again, but is surprised when one of them steps out from behind the table and obstructs him. The thief, sword not in hand, swings his crossbow, but doesn't even come close to the elf, who returns that attack with a failed thrust of his own. Failed Acrobatics check gave the thief an AoO but he missed; Sekathral's now standing in front of him.
As Kyson waits for his opening and Khazmia drinks a potion, Silvio steps into the room. One of the thugs seems shaken at his words, concerned he may in fact not survive this fight.
Zstelian advances into the room, his falchion flying. Chopping over the table, he splits one of the remaining thieves' heads open, sending him into a bloody heap on the floor.
Dragon attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

3 more thieves; all but Khazmia and Kyson are in the room, though all but Sekathral have a table providing cover between them and your foes.

Round 2
Kyson eyes Khaz as they both stand outside the room
"Yeah, I suppose...uhm...I should get in there too, huh? To the fight, uh."
Kyson will pull out his scimitar for the first time since he 'cleaned' it.
Move action to draw scimitar. 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (1) + 0 = 1 Strength check
The rusted blade rejects Kyson's first attempt to be drawn.
"Uhm...my sword appears to be broken...one sec! I'm coming!"
I hope Khaz didn't see that.
Move action to draw scimitar. 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (19) + 0 = 19 Strength check
Grunting with great effort, Kyson manages to draw his scimitar with a loud shout of success. "Hah!"
Kyson holds the rusty blade before him like a man who has only wielded it once in anger in his entire life.

"So you choose to fight? Then Silvio will oblige!" Silvio says as a battle cry and moves forward to engage the thugs. Silvio strikes with quickness and determination, opening a wound on the thiefs thigh. Rather oddly blood does not come weeping out of the open cut, but a few pieces of copper, as the deciples purse stood in the way of the chelaxian's blade. Silvio raises a surprised eyebrow as the coins hit the floor.

Kyson will look wearily at Khaz and enter the combat chamber, his knuckles white from the tight grip he has on this scimitar.
Kyson will move to the closest living Dragon and chop defensively.

1d6 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1 damage.
"Ha HA!" Kyson attempts a battle scream, but his voice cracks as badly as his blade misses.

The Dragons cut ineffectively at the party as Dargon chops at the table. He's able to put a large crack in it, but it still holds together enough to provide some cover for the thieves.
Kyson swings wildly, nearly hitting both Silvio and Sekathral, and throwing off the group's attacks, as everyone else is more focused on avoiding his blade than hitting your foes.

The three rogues continues to be unable to hit you as Dargon manages to destroy the table, removing any further cover for either side.
Sekathral hacks at one of the men, opening up a bloody wound along his chest.
As Khazmia manages to provide a distraction with her scimitar, Kyson manages to scratch one of the standing thugs, a few drops of crimson blood staining his rusty blade.
Zstelian and Silvio chop down two of the remaining thieves and the last man, already badly injured, throws down his blade, raising his hands in a gesture of surrender.

Kyson huffs and puffs from the exertion of the battle and spends a few moments bend over, catching his breath.
"Boy, fighting is hard, isn't it?" Kyson smiles as victory is assured.
Kyson sheaths his bloody scimitar, trying to grate the rust off against the side of scabbard. Kyson pulls the scimitar out again, and re-sheaths the blade, again trying to clean the sword. Kyson repeats the process a few more times, earning a mixture of blood and rust around the hilt of his scimitar.
There! A clean sword! Just like a warrior!
Kyson stands happily with his hands on his hips and looks at his prisoner.
Zstelian Karela |
Zstelian wipes his blade off on the remains of one of the thugs.
"What's further this way?", he asks of the survivor.
motteditor RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16, RPG Superstar 2012 Top 16 |
"The d-d-d-docks are that way," the badly injured man stutters. "Out t-t-to the harbor."
Beyond the broken table, the room contains a single long bench pushed up against the north wall. A door to the north is marked "Lavatory." A second, unmarked door leads to the east, likely what the injured thief is referring to.
"I d-d-don't know where Vanthus is. I ain't seen him in a while!"
Zstelian Karela |
His cleaning done Zstelian retrieves the threatening note left with the party.
"Then what's this about?", he demands. "If Vanthus isn't around why go through such a fuss to protect him?"

Silvio offers his opponent a knowing shrug then slides his blade out of the man's chest, sending the surprised dragon deciple to the floor. "Some just do not know when to quit", he laments and places his blade back in its sheath after wiping it clean.
"You however have learned a though lesson this day", Silvio tells the only survior. "You say you do not know where the Vanderboren hides himself from Silvio, but perhaps you of someone who is in possession of such knowledge?"

"Aha. And where's she when she ain't here, eh?"
Sekathral cleans and sharpens his rapier deliberately in front of the thug as he questions him.
"You might want to find yourself a new job, too, mate. This outfit's finished."

"I don't really know. She more just t-t-tells us what to do, not confides in us. She spends most of her t-t-time down here."

Traveling down the hallway, the sound of lapping waves fills this chamber, a natural sea cave that incorporates a large sloshing tidepool. To the north, a low sandy beach seethes with brightly colored crabs. To the south, a larger sandy beach slopes up to a glistening wall. A short wooden pier protrudes from this beach into the pool, and the cavern winds around the corner beyond. To the north, a large wooden door blocks the cave exit, although the waters flow unimpeded through a large space under the door.
This is a big cavern, but no map until I get home. Hopefully will get it up before my folks show in the morning. The crabs are normal-sized crabs, just to make sure that's clear, not monstrous.
Zstelian Karela |
"Now we know they get goods into the city...", the Varisian thinks aloud.
Zstelian makes his way to the large wooden doors blocking the exit and, after searching them, opens them hoping for some sunlight.

Zstelian shrugs.
"It looks like that door leads outside. I'm going to swim over and make sure", the Varisian says.
After peeling off his faded chain armor and stowing it, Zstelian places Tosh on the cavern floor.
"You smell strong enough as it is", he says. "It's probably best we not get you wet."
The weasel gives the ranger an indignant look but stays put.
Zstelian slides into the water and swims across towards the door.

"What?", Zstelian asks in disbelief as he looks into the water again.
"Be careful! Sekathral thinks there are Weresharks in the water!" Khaz warns, looking to see if she can see any sharks, any w(h)were.
Sorry, it was too good to pass up

Silvio Callgari Pazzi |
Hopefully Sekathral mentioned the sharks before Zstelian goes into the water :)
"Silvio suggests that we find a boat or something similar if we want to move to the other side", Silvio says with a frown. "If the door leads to the harbor, then we can just go around it from the other side. I'm sure our friend here can show us how to get there", he says and gives the captive dragon deciple a friendly slap on the back. "He is more than willing to help Silvio and his friends, are you not?"

Zstelian peers into the water, still not seeing anything.
"It's too dark, I don't see them."
Not taking any chances, the Varisian splashes a bit to get the attention of anything that might be down there and then tries to coax the sharks closer to the surface.
Edit: I don't have Wild Empathy
"Hello there", he offers into the water.
Silvio Callgari Pazzi |
Yes, Zstelian got his warning in time.
"Yes, of course, I'll help. Doesn't look like there's much left down here."
No one else can see the creatures in the water other than Sekathral.
"A wise choice. Silvio can tell that you are a wise man. Where would you suggest that Silvio search for the coward Vanderboren or the lovely lady Rowyn?"
