Of Kings and Commoners - Kingmaker AP

Game Master RPGGGM

With the heart of the Stolen Lands explored and the bandits who ruled there scattered, the long-contested realm finally lies open for pioneers and settlers to stake their claims.:
Amid the rush of opportunistic travelers, the PCs find themselves stewards over a new domain, tasked with the responsibility of guiding and guarding a fledgling nation struggling to grow upon a treacherous borderland. Yet the threats to this new nation quickly prove themselves greater than mere bandits and wild beasts, as the monstrous natives of the hills and forests rampage forth to slaughter all who have trespassed upon their territory. Can the PCs hold the land they’ve fought so hard to explore and tame? Or will their legend be just one more lost to the fangs of the Stolen Lands?

To know about rabies, knowledge (nature) is fine.

Numalar starts for a moment, and looks around, wondering where Grogan has gotten off to.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

He continues talking to Renault but periodically his eyes wander, looking for the hunter.

Celyne already stepped forward, so simply introduces herself from where she is. "I am Celyne Nightstorme of Everholme, and this is Luna, my dear friend and companion, as are these others who have introduced themselves already. You asked for introductions, now you have them... As for the bounty, I will contribute to reestablish it if necessary if you'd just drop it for now til we can find Tamris and get to the bottom of the events that have occurred here. I think you have enough pledges of bounty that it will be significantly higher than the original if it needs to be restarted." She smiles and runs her fingers through Luna's fur as she introduces her...

Zokon also looks for Grogan "Grogan may be off after Fan, I'm going to go try find them"

Survival Tracking: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

"Darn I can't find any tracks, i'll have to try find Fan"

Zokon will take of in the direction he assumes Fan is going, where he saw Alia and such come from as they were helping him escape?

I would like to request a secretly rolled Perception Check(or the assumption of take 10). Since I shot Grogan, I was on edge as to how he would react IF he figures out it was one of my arrows that hit him. While it's reasonably possible I lost track of him during my introduction, I would definitely have tried to remain aware of his relative position towards me(first to keep my quiver out of his view, secondly to prevent him from getting towards my back).

Zokon:
Since you specifically pointed out noting it...I figure between KN Geography and your training you can work some idea out: Elves, just as some humans, take up alias names when they join secret organizations or military special forces. It protects their family, makes it harder to learn about their past, and masks their affiliation or identity if something happens to them.

Zokon & Sense Motive DC 13:
There may be more to either Alia's mission itself, or to those who sent her on the mission.

Zokon & Sense Motive DC 18:
If this was an official Kyonin mission, they would likely have sent someone more experienced, or a larger expedition.

Just a quick note (as I'm at work right now), Fan hasn't left the scene. He wouldn't have been able to keep up with a running invisible wolf.

Alia, I'll get to you perception check in a few hours.

Celyne, did you do something with your hair?

Alia, It appears Grogan slinked off before you made your introductions using the crowd for cover. His dead wolf is still here.

Fine as well...but I'll keep my back under surveillance. I am afraid of him sneaking up and taking revenge for that arrow, so I'll likely turn/change position/twist around regulary until either we leave to follow Rain, or I find him again.

"Hey. They're trying to make this a better place for everyone. That includes Tamris, whose companion sought out a friend. We're going to check it out, make sure Tamris is alright and Rain isn't gong to bother you guys again. Wasn't that the point of the bounty in the first place?"

While everyone else argues about who owns what, she turns to Fan to address more important matters.
"Hey Fan. While they're working this out, we need to figure out where Rain went. Also we need to figure out where to go next."

When Renault speaks up, a slight smile plays on Alias lips, but is quickly gone again.
They are not willing to bow to Brevoy. These people may welcome help that guarantees their sovereignity, for a formal declaration of fealthy. The elders were right.
"Scarlet is right. The more time we spend arguing idly, the longer it will take to resolve this. I'm sure the two of you can work out the details regarding Brevoy or that charter once we return...there's more important things to do, now. I'll fetch the horses."
Unless held, Alia would go fetch Vega and the horses...do we have one extra for Fan? In case Rain is not just hiding in the grass and waiting for us?

Posh puts up his hands towards the crowd.
"The charter has nothing to do with taking your lands or touching anything of yours that you have worked so hard and sacrificed so much to live here." he attempts to keep the crowd calm "All it allows us is to deal with the bandit problem and keep these lands safe. We have all met as strangers, but I have learnt to trust them. They have nothing but the best intentions for you all. I only wish I could be as honest with myself as they are with all of you. That includes you, Master Renault." Posh decides to add gravity to this statement by bowing on one knee towards Renault.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

GM:
He's also attempting to apologise to Renault for the earlier secrecy in a somewhat, but not really subtle way as well as showing his respect as a way to win more points with the crowd to defuse the situation. Posh has spent years with a good knowledge of how to manipulate and find his way to someone's soft-side so he hopes this may work to at least calm the people, if it doesn't win the Lord over.

"No one here has any designs on your property or your freedom, Master Renault, and we will have no part of such a thing if the Swordlords were to ask. Their desire to eliminate the bandit problem in this region indicates a desire for safety, not only for them but for all who dwell here.

Numalar gets back on Sir Didymus and prepares to ride off.

Don't really want to drag this out more than necessary. So I'm ready to go when you guys are.

BTW GGGM: Already made a diplomacy roll above and I assume this is part of the same conversation, but go ahead and roll for me (+8) if another is needed.


"Agreed. Our most pressing concern is finding this wolf--alive if possible. Like you lot Grogan and his two cronies are outsiders who have never struck me as particularly savory."
There's a general murmur of agreement from the locals.

With that the meeting breaks, Renault confers with some of the hunters. Valorin and his men mount up and prepare to ride. Fan looks to the party.

Posh looks directly at Fan
"I guess you didn't trust Scarlet or any of us enough to tell us about this?" Posh sighs though and shakes his head "I'm sure you've had your reasons and I'm the last person to judge you for not being open, but let us find this friend of yours. I can't promise if any of my spells will help much, but if I manage to slip it up with my grease spell it'll be easier to subdue."

"I think we could last see him over here," Numalar points out.

If possible I will Take 10 in Survival to aid Zokon untrained (for a result of 12). If I can't do that, I will try to see if I can pick up a lingering aura from the vanish spell using detect magic (that probably won't work but it doesn't cost anything). If that doesn't work, I'll climb on top of something tall (with someone's help - my climb is -2) and see if I can see Rain in the distance.

Alia looks around, trying to get her bearings: "Fan, is this direction Rain vanished into per chance towards some meeting place you and Tamris used in the past? If Rain was intelligent enough to track you here, he may also be smart enough to lay low at a familiar place where you could find him-"
Unfortunately, Vega can't track him either, even if he found Wolf very tasty...

"Ah, just when I was enjoying the festival." Scarlet stares at where she last saw (and leaned against) Rain, trying to make sense of where the wolf went. "Now they think we're Oppressors from the Big City."

"As far as Renault is concerned, a pair of wolves just ran into a crowded festival and one of them escaped thanks to meddlin' outsiders. The hunt is still on, as far as he's concerned."

Yes, with that roll you can find and think you can follow the tracks.

Alia casts Light on a piece of string held in her left hand, drawing the Estoc with the right and advancing after the trackers and rangers give the clear sign. "Left or right?"

Is Vega with us? You know that string is the natural enemy of cats in the wild... :)

@ GGGM: Do we see the horses belonging to the hunters, or any evidence that they have come here?
survival if that is needed: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

"Well, this looks promising."

Numalar edges ahead, still astride Sir Didymus. He looks around the cavern suspiciously.

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

He turns around and looks back at Fan.

"Alright, Mister Auric, Rain seems to have led us here, so Tamris is likely within. But before we enter, I want you to be forthcoming. What can you tell us about this Tamris? You have told us very little and we wish to know what we are getting into. Is he human, or some other race? Is he a magician? Or a warrior? Or both? Tell us as much as you can. Even knowledge that you might think is insignificant might turn out to be quite helpful."

sense motive: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
diplomacy if that is needed: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

Why do you think I carry string with me? ;) Vega is with us, but until I can actually level up and pick up Handle Animal, he won't be out of the travel cage much except in controlled environments(since he's a cat, we talk about the likes of a panic room in an inn, nuclear bunkers, sealed ancient temples of alien origin, etc..).

@GM: Also, when I "vanished" Rain, I told Fan that he owes Scarlet and should at least tell HER the truth, trying to push him to do so before introducing myself to Renault. Did he do that? Approach Scarlet at some point during our ride here? Otherwise my sympathies for him will run out shortly...


Earlier
Pestered again Fan fairly explodes. "Woman I've been telling you all the the truth! What exactly do you think I've been lying about?"

This causes a bit of a scene before Renault shoots everyone a glare as terrible as barbed cold iron darts.

Earlier/During the travel here:
Alia ignored Fan. Completely, ever since his outburst. She is utterly convinced he is hiding SOMETHING, and unwilling to put up with his attitude any more.
Oh, I was just passing through and got attacked by those kobolds.
Oh, my friend went missing, I have NO idea what could have happened.
Oh, I just got up extra early after being attacked and travelled alone risking my life so I could make an extra silver or two.
Oh, my friends Wolf suddenly appears at that festival and I have no idea why.
No way he's telling us everything. Should have just shot the wolf instead of the brute, be done with it.

As dark thoughts enter her mind while riding, some meowing from behind pulls her back into reality.
You are right, Vega. I can't allow myself to think like that. It's hardly the wolves fault this guy is an a**hole., shooting an evil glance in Fan's direction, she rides on towards whoever takes point/falls behind towards whomever brings up the rear to be as far away as possible from him.

"Hmmm... Sources of light out please, I have standard vision, so if there's anyone who can see better in the dark and wants to enter first please do, otherwise i'll use a sunrod"

If no one responds Zokon will take out a sunrod and activate it and hold it in his buckler hand, he'll then draw his Rapier and step into the cave sneaky like.

"Careful, I don't know how he might react." Fan turns to the gnomes. "Do either of you know the beast speach?"

Maybe you should take the front center, go ahead, since the beast knows you!, Alia thinks, and holds back saying it in the last moment.
And if he takes point, he'll be torn to shreds by something else in these caves, and I'll never forgive myself for causing it to be so. As my grandfather told me..Better a few days of bitterness than a lifetime of regret....better just put up with him.
Alia steps forward, taking one look at the left side of the cave before joining Zokon.

"Hey Fan, relax. You seem to be on edge recently. We'll find Tamris and Rain, don't worry about that."

Scarlet either hasn't noticed or hasn't cared about the secrecy about Fan and Tamris. Suspicion always leads to distrust. Scarlet thinks. I can't afford that. Not anymore.

"I can go ahead, Zokon. It turns to all black n' white once we're outside of light, but I can see alright."

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

"Then again, I've never been a good spotter...Hey, where's everyone going? We should stick together."


I'm going for 'fierce' here people--fierce! | The Trading Post | Tactical Map | Region |

Zokon can already hear the low warning growl from around the corner of cave wall.

Map updated.

Numalar looks at Posh, and back at Fan. He frowns.

"Why would we need to know the beast speech? What sort of creature is Tamris, anyway?"
