One clear day in Sigil, what will it bring?
"The greatest treasure of all lies with Karavakos!"
"Mechanical sir!"
Without warning an unfamiliar female voice calls from behind you. A small undine soon appears as the origin of the voice. She stands next to an old-looking dwarf merchant. Both were panting and looked frantic.
"We need hel--"
the dwarf interrupted
"A bag containing a large shipment of dorjes was just stolen from us, by someone by the name of Vren. You two look strong enoug--"
the undine cuts back in
"I overheard something about selling it on the Gatehouse Night Market!"
The dwarf hurriedly finishes
"I can pay!"
Both give anxious looks to you...
"The answer to your queries lies with Karavakos. Come find Us if you wish to escape from the Lich Queen!"
"There is a way to heal Cyre. It is buried underground here, beneath the gatehouse night market."
Later that evening...
[spoiler=perception, DC 10]Roughly 100 feet to your right, a pair of dragonborns are mugging a group of travelers! The dragonborns start to run off. Chase time?
Thomas of the Blue Blade |
perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15
Do any of the travelers appear wounded? If so I'll immediately attend to them first.
Take off after them, trying to stay inconspicuous
stealth: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Mundarion |
Well, given a hint like that Mundarion will do his best to follow up on it. Given that he is still new to Sigil he's going to have to ask around to find out where it is.
Diplomacy Check: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Ooc: Do I need to roll again?
Midiotoziggeroto |
Perception Check: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Wow. First roll of the campaign and i failed that ^_^
Huh? Where are you going Thomas? Why are you hiding? Did you spot a cat? You are going that way eh? Wait for me, im comimg!!
Midiotoziggeroto will then teleport every few dozen feet, following after Thomas, no doubt drawing a few curious looks and probably ruining his (rather poor) attempt at following discreetly.
POP. POP. POP.
Vassekh-Arokh Yessai |
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
Seeing the disturbance, and Thomas acting to follow, Yessai gives chase without thought for stealth.
Full Round Action. Run
Deranged_Maniac_Ben |
Midio's speed easily allows him to reach the fleeing Dragonborn. They both appear to be carrying small stone tablets...
Vassekh-Arokh Yessai |
Do you mean Acrobatics?
For some reason my skills list my Dex bonus as +2 rather than +0. Will fix!
Dodging, ducking and weaving: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (14) - 1 = 13 [Armor Check Penalty]
Yessai finds the street debris bothersome, and her pursuit hampered.
Mundarion |
I assume that Mundarion was able to rent a room somewhere or come up with some other place that he felt would be safe enough to leave his bacpack.
With Nightwing riding on Mundarion's shoulder and occasionally watching for trouble coming from behind, Mundarion starts making a thorough search of the area. Nightwing fulfill his duty by every so often rotating his head around 180 degrees so he can see things behind him.
Perception for Mundarion's search: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15
Perception for Night wing's lookout: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17
Vassekh-Arokh Yessai |
And you can just call me Yessai... Vassekha Arokh is the clan name. Sorry for the confusion...
Midiotoziggeroto |
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Midiotoziggeroto can only move 25ft per teleport, which is actually slower than combat movement. If he runs while bursting, he can move 50 (200)ft
If i wanted to use my psionic focus and run flat out.... 320ft...
Also, Midiotoziggeroto hasnt seen the muggers, and no one comunicated it to him, hes just running :)
A race? Well i can race! I bet i could go even faster then any of them!
And with that Midiotoziggeroto takes off, hurling down the street at a truely breakneck speed in the general direction of the muggers and passing them by.
Haha! Im faster guys! No way you can keep up with THIS! Come on slowpo...
Before he can finish his taunt he runs full pelt into the side of a fruit cart, spewing apples and oranges all over the street and taking a rather magnificent dive nose first into the ground.
De'arv'ki Paddfoot |
Climb: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (15) + 20 = 35
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
I'll climb this building to see if i can spot that small blur that just went past, might be chasing a good mark
As Thomas and Midiotoziggeroto sprint past, De'arv'ki Climbs the wall of a nearby building to try and spot where they're headed.
De'arv'ki Paddfoot |
no idea if i've spotted them
[spoiler=If i've seen them]I climb back down and sneak up to the area, trying to avoid their attention until i'm sure of their intentions
Stealth: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24
Deranged_Maniac_Ben |
The undine turned to the dwarf.
"I, I..."
"It be okay, I kno' where tis."
The dwarf turns around and starts walking...
[spoiler=Thomas, Midio, Yessai]
acrobatics for 1st dragonborn: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
acrobatics for 2nd dragonborn: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
One of the dragonborn stumbles into a ditch and falls!
Yessai runs straight into a pair of squirrels and loses his balance (and deals stomping on each squirrel[/dice: 1d3 ⇒ 3 to the now dead squirrels)!
Thomas easily reaches the fallen dragonborn, who he can see is a green male holding a short sword and a nice sized leather pouch, but the other is getting away...
De'arv'ki Paddfoot |
This could be worrrrth investigating...
De'arv'ki slowly approaches the area, still avoiding attention (using the stealth check a post back)
Mundarion |
Mundarion tries to be stealthy as he gets close to the building. When he gets to a reasonable spot he will try to make out what the voices are saying.
Stealth check: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14
If Stealth check succeeds:
Perception/listen check: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19
Thomas of the Blue Blade |
Thomas will look down at the mugger and glance at his escaping partner.
Guess there really is no honor among thieves. I'll find him later, but until then we can have a nice little talk. glancing at the two expert acrobatsPull yourselves together guys.
With a whisper of what sounds like a phrase from a scripture and an effort of will, a brilliant blade of blue materializes from my outstretched right hand to land on the rascal's Adam's Apple.
Form mind blade
You get any funny ideas with that blade and they'll be your last friend
Readied action to strike if he moves to attack me
De'arv'ki Paddfoot |
This marrrrk is no longer worrrrth the trrrrouble... The other one may have something of value though...
With that thought, De'arv'ki Proceeds to climb to rooftops and shadow the escaping Thief.
Climb,Stealth: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (12) + 18 = 301d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
Midiotoziggeroto |
Killing squirrels? You fiend D:
Finally catching on to what it is that everyone is trying to do, that they are not trying to race but rather are chasing someone Midiotoziggeroto lets out a dejected sigh. Oh. That sucks.
He then teleports forward and preferably on top of something to give him a view of the escaping dragonborn and hurls an augmented glob of ectoplasm at him. Entangling Ectoplasm, augmented to 3rd lvl, targets touch
Ranged touch attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
i cant roll well to save my life :S
Vassekh-Arokh Yessai |
GM - Yessai is a she, and I actually made my roll - see spoilers above. The squirrels are safe
Yessai moves up with Thomas and decides a little extra demotivation is required. She too produces a wicked looking blade, if slightly more tangible, and licks the edge of it disconcertingly, the meaning clear to the draconic rake.
"Skhla vessa ni chokha gash'lek!!!"
Intimidate with gobbledygook: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24
Deranged_Maniac_Ben |
escape artist: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
He manages to escape from the ectoplasm, but it slows him down enough for both De'arv'ki and Midio to get back into striking distance! You both make it within 20 feet of him.
"So 5000 for--"
"Put that one--"
"Well, it would..."
Mundarion |
Interesting, Mundarion thinks. So it is a market of some sort after all. Probably illicit I would guess. Better plan on getting closer if I want to find out more.
Mundarion draws his dagger and holds it in such a way that it is not immediately obvious he has a weapon in his hand (flat of the blade held against his forearm). He then tries to see if he can sneak in closer.
Stealth check: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28
Midiotoziggeroto |
that hit him? Oh..
Seeing as how the dragonborn was slowed down just enough to be in teleport range a smirk crossed Midiotoziggerotos face.
He then teleports directly in front of the dragonborn (in the direction he was running, opposite of where the others were) and calls out a loud BOO!
He then steps back a foot and a crackling energy surrounds Midiotoziggeroto before being thrust at the dragonborn. (move action teleport, 5ft step back then cast electric energy push, 3pp)
damage: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7
DC 19 ref save for half damage
DC 19 Str check or be pushed back 5ft +5ft per 5 damage taken.
Extra 2d6 damage if he gets pushed into a wall or other hard surface (unlikely)
Have you had enough yet? Otherwise this could get painful.
Deranged_Maniac_Ben |
You succeed in sneaking in without being noticed.
"It shoul' be 'round here somewhar."
strength: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14
The red dragonborn winces as he is pushed back, straight towards De'arv'ki!
Growling, he spits at Midio
"You planning on doing something foolish?"
It is now De'arv'ki's turn to act if he chooses to.
De'arv'ki Paddfoot |
Presuming i'm still on the roof tops
De'arv'ki Proceeds to jump from the roof top onto the Dragonborn's shoulders, hoping to knock him to the ground
CMB: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Midiotoziggeroto |
Sweet! A cat! I knew that Thomas saw a cat!You saw me run? It was a good run eh? I can run real fast! And teleport! my name is Midiotoziggeroto by the way. Whats yours? and you dragon guy, whats your name? Why am I casing you anyways? I just know that Thomas wants you...
Haha! I knew I was psycic! I saw your entrance a whole day early :)
Vassekh-Arokh Yessai |
Nice prescience Midio!
Yessai sighs, then sheathes her blade. Slowly, and with a grim countenance. SHe affects a pose of studied nonchalance...
"What's the matter? Cat got your tongue? You better flap you speaker or you'll find we do have a Cat. Likes tongues for dinner. Likes tongues anytime, especially reptile."
Her "bad enforcer" act done, Yessai let's Thomas continue the interrogation, and eyes their surroundings, looking either for accomplices or the actual authorities.
Alway the chance we'll get mistaken for the criminal element…
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25
How do you like to handle Perception/Sense Motive etc DMB? I'm cool if you want to do it behind the scenes and tell us what happens…. I'll just say Perception or Sense Motive…
De'arv'ki Paddfoot |
This one looked like he was worrrrth chasing, simply for the sake of the hunt, Small-fleet-hunterrrrr. This one goes by the name De'arv'ki Paddfoot, and i'll rrrrrequest no more questions of that kind. As to this one's tongue... Perrrhaps with a cup of coffee...
Lol, damn! thought that was going to be a surprise entrance! Now i'll have to leave and find another surprising entrance to the group... >_<
De'arv'ki Paddfoot |
One thing this one will ask is why arrrre you chasing this one, Hunterrrr-Midiotoziggerrrroto? Therrrre must be an imporrrrtent rrrreason...
BTW, i case anyone was wondering, my name is pronounced Dee-Arvy-Chi
Vassekh-Arokh Yessai |
I'm not sure we are near each other Dee.
Also, if "Chi" why the "k"? Or do you mean Dee-Arvy-Chi-as in ki-power-chi?
De'arv'ki Paddfoot |
Yeah, the same way as the monk or ninja draw power from their Ki. Also, think you're right, i'm near the other Dragonborn, sorry for the mistake.
Thomas of the Blue Blade |
Thank you for the assist Yessai. May Iomedea bless your future endeavors. I think I got this, would you mind watching Scaley here while I look for the talkative one?
I'll dissipate my mindblade and head off down the road in the direction Midito went.
Deranged_Maniac_Ben |
De'arv'ki and Midio are a few hundred feet away from Thomas and Yessai--De'arv'ki can still gesture in that general direction.
Yessai's sense motives: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16<--nope
"Arrrrawwr!"
Almost whimpering, it begs
"You...can take what I am carrying, just let me...go...my employer would be displeased if I were found dead..."
Vassekh-Arokh Yessai |
Seeing the Draconic move to stand, Yessai whips her fell blade out again, pulsing with dread force.
"Do not move, Dragonborn. Sit!"
Readied Action: Attack if non-compliance with directive results...
De'arv'ki Paddfoot |
BTW, i have no internet at home, so i won't be on at all for the weekend. if you need may character to do anything, just assume i follow midio and the group
Midiotoziggeroto |
Great! That settles it! Now onto the interrogation! Ive always wanted to interrogate someone.
YOU! Whos your boss? What are you doing with this thing? Whats your favorite colour? Whats the square root of 56*23, then subtract the number of people in this street! That last one is important!
deplomacy check, because we are nice: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Thomas of the Blue Blade |
You sneaky, overgrown newt
With another whisper of will Thomas forms a long, thin shaft of brilliant blue energy ending in a pointed tip. With a battle cry he hurls it overhead at the dragonborn.
Move action= form mind blade (piercing, 15ft range), Standard Action= throw mind blade
mindblade: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21-2 for firing into combat
damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Deranged_Maniac_Ben |
Mundarion looks things over and thinks:
I would be willing to wager gold against copper that these guys are up to no good. But I don't know that for an absolute fact. Then there's the little matter that I don't have the authority to dispense justice in Sigil. Being outnumbered three to one is also something to take into consideration. Last but not least these guys are not my mission. Getting through that trap door is. It may be that I simply have to wait until these guys leave. So I need a real good hiding place.
[/spoiler][Dice=Perception check for hiding place] 1d20+11
I assume this was meant to be here and not on the discussion thread? :)
You also hear a pair of whispering voices outside the door you came in.
Mundarion |
As I have now commented in the other thread, trying to post after having just got off a 12 hour night shift is not a good idea. :-(
Mundarion doesn't like the idea of getting caught in some sort of hammer and anvil maneuver. He will try to check out what's behind him.
Stealth check: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30 to get closer to the door without being noticed by either group.
Perception check: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18 to get more info on 2nd group.
