"Tha flood festivals got a fancy ball late tomorrow night, tha local bars got a drink down tha flood drinkin contest....plenty tah do."

Obviously Sanstree is still around cauldron.....he has been living at Minniwicks shop.

"I dinn'ah have ann'e fancy clothes. Wha's prop'r t' wear? On th' oth'r 'and, I know al 'bout drink'n...har haw!"

I think the illness has mostly passed, so I should be back for good now.
Erine spends the free time teaching her two scrolls to Goat...
Blood Transcription: Spellcraft: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
Hold Person: Spellcraft: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
Both barely learned!
Erine then tries to quietly obtain a hat of disguise with her share of the reward, and asks for nothing else.
Erine stands between Edrukk and Broccan, trying again to appear inconspicuous.

Sanstree holds up a locket. At first it looks like nothing, but he opens it to reveal a ball of flame.

"Been testing this gainst some evil critters, tha continual flames been heightened tah tha point neither darkness nor greater darkness can counter it. Cost me 200 gold."

The rain goes on and off for the next several days, the dry days finds the streets overflowing with players upon portable stages, street vendors with carts and minstrals singing their newest songs.

Today is a dry day with most everyone having some time to do a bit of this and that.

Who is where and with whom?

Sanstree

"Mast'r Minni'wck, wou' y' mine me stor'n m' extra gear'n y'r shop while' I see t' th' festiv'ities?"

Broccan plans to see the sights in less intimidating attire.

Mithril shirt under street clothes, dagger, and belt pouch.

Edrukk likes the sound of that, but he doesn't want to store his armor and weapon - he is a cleric of Gorum, after all. But if he can leave his other gear he will do so. Is there a temple of Gorum in the city? Edrukk will pay his respects there - and find out how they participate in the festival

Of course! Just put it in the back room there is plenty of space.

"M'thanks!"

Broccan divests himself of most of his gear, remarking how light his footsteps feel without the extra hundred-plus pounds of weight.

Minniwick puts the finishing touches on his costume of “Kibblecrick Fitsinpopper” the renowned Gnome Bard and short time mayor of Jzadirune. His new hat is massive as it is a fanciful interpretation of the lake monster that is rumored to live in the central lake of Cauldron.

Let's go party!

He wants to meet the merchant class of Cauldron and will try and find the parties that they attend. He will try and see all the sites that the flood festival has to offer. Partaking in any games of chance or festival activities he finds, even tests of Strength. He wants to do it all!
When he starts to feel run down he will mix up a lesser restoration Extract and jump back into the activities. I expect he will crash and burn after the festival when he stops using alchemy to keep himself going and need a few days to recover

When he has time he will make a few Lessor Restoration Potions and if anyone in the group wants them he will make a private deal with to sell them at cost or near cost. Second Level Potions for him are caster level 4 so base price of 200GP or retail of 400GP I will also offer up my spell list to the group if they want any other potions made. He can make higher caster level potions if you want them at adjusted prices.

"'For we spend th' ole night rubb'n elbows with lords n' ladies, I thin' kyl fine me a rough n' tumble tavern wi' some 'arty ale, baudy wenches n' some fisticuffs. Ann'ewun care t' join me?"

Minniwick begins a frantic bout of partying, denying his age and using magic to keep himself active.

As everyone enjoys the festival in their own way.

Minniwick

Countdown 5

Edrukk is not particularly festive. If he cannot locate a temple of Gorum, he will follow Broccan. He will drink, but he will barely say a word.

"Um, n-no thanks, Broccan. That sounds a little, um, fighting." Erine and Goat will tag along with Edrukk for most of the festivities. Goat will wander off a few times to drink from the ale taps of unwatchful bartenders, but tries to stay close to his mistress.

Erine will go to the church of Gorum if Edrukk heads there, and do her best to blend in (which may not go well, given that she doesn't exactly fit the profile of a Gorumite).

Broccan heads for the rough n' tumble side of town, listening for the guffaws, cheers, and shrieks of the less-than sophisticated populace.

He listens for the sounds of bare-knuckle boxing or a barroom brawl, either would suit him just fine.

Knowledge (local): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15

Perception: 1d39 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

With the flood season averted and Broccan being recognized as one of the heroes responsible for helping with that it is difficult for him to find someone who is mad at him...and most people will laugh off however angry, drunk or disorderly he happens to become.....

Broccan

Broccan decides to seek out the Stormblades' preferred watering hole, and see if he can't stir things up a little.

Once Sanstree is aware of Broccan's intent to confront the stormblades he is off like a shot to find the others and let them know.

His first stop is Jenya for help finding the others.

Broccan spots the four stormblades in their usual hang-out sitting at a table and acting superior to everyone around them. Typical aristocratic brats.

They do not seem to notice Broccan's entrance.

Broccan goes to the bar and calls for the barkeep.

"Kinn'eh get'n ale down' ere?" he calls in an overly loud, but jovial tone.

He watches the table from his peripheral vision to see if there is any reaction.

"'e's off t' pick a fight wit' 'ho, now? 's 'e gonna be needin' 'r 'elp?"

One of them!

Todd

makes a face at you...

then says quietly.....perception DC 15

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

"An' they shou' lett'n more! Folks who've suff'rd, starv'd n' broke th'r backs t' survive. More'ra them....n' few'r stuffshirt cake-eat'rs."

Broccan raises his mug in salute.

"To sweat n' scars earn'd by hon'st work! I'll take't ov'r perfume'n pant'loons anne' day !"

"Aye, cannae be lettin' 'im 'ave all th' fun. Come, Lady Erine, lessee 'at sort o' trouble Broccan 'as found."

"Um, if he g-gets into a fight, I'm going to pretend I d-don't know him." Erine's eyes shift from side to side as she follows Edrukk. "J-just a warning."

"Heh, fer 'nough. Stick wit' me, though."

Todd rises from his seat.

"Let them and you drink filthy water from a trough like swine!"

He advances towards Broccan..

Everyone can begin arriving......

Broccan casually turns around, mug of ale still in hand.

"Come'n t' drink w' me y'r lordsh'p, or are y' gonn'ah try'n throw me' ou' t' ere y'rself? Cann'e 'magine y' toss'n me in th' street wi'thou' ruinin' yer sof' pretty 'ands. I know, sir! Ye can ring fer y' butl'r t' do it for ye! Har har Haw!"

Grabs a good seat, just waiting for the show.

"There ye be, lass. Master Zookwinkle 'as a seat near 'im ye c'n use."

Edrukk will remain on his feet, watching to make sure that the fight remains fair - and if it starts a fistfight, it better stay a fistfight until everyone agrees to draw weapons.

Todd moves forwards within range.

Initiative 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
......versus Broccan though others may call and aid another to add to the roll

Initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13

Broccan sees the man coming, and changes his posture in anticipation of attack.

Fight defensively: -4 attack (reducing Unarmed Attack to +3), +2 AC (improving AC to 17)

Broccan holds.

Broccan wins initiative.

any actions?

As stated above.

Todd draws his rapier

"You'll not lay hands upon me ruffian!"

Appears to be a stand-off

Anyone else jumping in?

Perception DC 10
...several patrons hit the door getting out of the way, others begin placing bets and making wagers at the bar
Anyone getting in on the betting?

Edrukk stands on the edge of the crowd. He nods approvingly.

Broccan draws his dagger and slams the tip into the tip of the bar, leaving it stuck there.

"I'aven' touch'd ye, Fancy Boy. Bu' if ye so much's nick me w' tha' frog-stick'r, I'll change th' shape o' yer spine. If y' wanna fight, I'm up fer a frien'ly roun'da fisticuffs, an' I'll buy ye some new pant'loons once y've pissed yerself."

"Fistics is it, then your to wash your hands first."

An alert barmaid pours water into a large bowl and brings it and a towel over to Broccan.

Todd passes his rapier to his friend.

Broccan pulls off his tunic and mail shirt, and hands them to his nearest companion.

He uses the water in the bowl to wash his hands, keeping an eye on the young noble.

He turns, rolls his shoulders, and cracks his knuckles, giving his opponent a chance to survey the tapestry of scars covering nearly all of his arms and torso.

He resumes his fighting stance (fighting defensively, +3 att, AC 13)

"Lessee watcha got, ye milksop."

This....is going to be good! 10 Gold on Broccan to win! Any takers?

Broccan stands ready in the middle of the makeshift boxing ring.

Minniwicks offer is a bit rich for some but the barkeep yells out.

"I will take that action three to two, but expect payment for repairs regardless."

Todd takes a swing at Broccan
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
1d4 ⇒ 2

"That's tha way Broc! Toy wit him fer a minute err two, let him think he's doin good!"

A grin breaks out as Broccan absorbs the first blow.

He throws his first jab: (non lethal)

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

Damage: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

He holds his stance for the next round (+3 att, AC 13, HP 83)

Broccan and Todd exchange quick jabs.

Others feel free to comment, etc before I throw in another round of fisticuffs ; )

When she doesn't think anyone is looking, Erine quickly holds up her hand, and it glows for a moment.

Casting a Ward on Broccan. +2 AC until he is hit. He's not necessarily aware of its presence.

Perception 1d20 ⇒ 11

The serving winch brings you a beer.

I have always wondered about this - an unarmed strike without Improved Unarmed Strike provokes an AoO, correct? And the non-IUS user does not threaten an area, but the IUS user does. So if a non-IUS boxer takes a swing, does his opponent with IUS get an attack of opportunity? If Mr. IUS has Combat Reflexes, too, and Mr. non-IUS attacks twice, does he provoke twice, once for each swing?

Edrukk keeps an eye on the crowd, especially Todd's friends at the table.

Hmmm, Broccan does have IUS, but I'll let KK make the call on whether he gets AoOs on Mr. Fancy pants. Broccan is deliberately doing non lethal damage...for now.

If you do not have IUS and you take a swing at someone who does you provoke an AOO. You provoke each time you attack so if the IUS boxer has Combat Reflexes (s)he gets an AOO for each attack.

You got a bet Barkeep. Looser pays for damages! Who wants to bet small? Minniwick will work the crowd his money is on Broccan for every bet. Profession Bookie 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Broccan should get an Attack of Opportunity on Fancypants if the latter doesn't have IUS. Broccan is considered armed, after all. So like Minniwick said.
Also, since Minniwick doesn't have any ranks in Profession (bookie), his check comes out to 10. Just a reminder.
