GM Tyranius |
Sudara- could place some of your main stats in your class field like the others have. Helps to not have to go to new page to look stats up. Thanks :D
Ahnastasios Silvertongue |
Ahn ... ready for action.
GM Tyranius |
Venture-Captain Alissa Moldreserva, a fiery red-headed woman
who climbed from the depths of Galtan revolution to become
one of the Society’s finest (and most well-connected) venturecaptains,
enters into the great meeting hall of the Grand Lodge in
Absalom. She stares down her hawkish nose and sighs.
“I ask for the best and they send me you. Lucky me. The Society’s best contact in Osirion, Grand Ambassador Dremdhet
Salhar, informed me this morning that his lovely Chelish wife,
the Lady Anilah Salhar, was kidnapped and sold into slavery.
“Normally, I wouldn’t care a bulette’s eyeball about who was
or was not enslaved in Absalom, but Salhar is the Society’s best
avenue for acquiring all of the necessary official paperwork to
make our frequent delves into the tombs of Osirion cheap and
legal. This is a relationship we want to preserve and since the
Ambassador made it clear that our status is in jeopardy, I’ve
been instructed to send our best agents to find her and return
her safely to Salhar.
“I guess you’ll do.
“Salhar hasn’t sat idle since his wife was taken—his own
agents are prowling the streets and dug up one possible lead.
A one-eyed Andoren, a grit junky named Fredrik, is known for
selling or helping to sell nobility into foreign markets that desire
house slaves. Being enormously illegal, this trade makes Fredrik
a fair bit of coin that Salhar’s agents assure me all go straight
into the pockets of the Second Chance, a grit den dockside in
Puddles. That’s all I have to get you started. Go quickly. The fate
of our Osirian exploits is in your hands.”
Ahnastasios Silvertongue |
"That's "all you have"? When was she kidnapped, last night, or a month ago ... makes a difference in tracking her. How do we know she was kidnapped, someone leave a note? Might she be being held for ransom? If we know she was sold, who to?"
"And what of Salhar's agents? How will we identify them ... avoid any misunderstandings and unnecessary death?", Ahn says with a smirk.
GM Tyranius |
“You will be responsible for the Society’s losses in Osirion with your incessant questions. I’ve told you all I know—if you desire further
employment beneath these hallowed pillars, you’ll think twice before asking me inane questions. Be gone!” The Venture-Captain states quite impatiently.
Ahnastasios Silvertongue |
"Well connected my arse ...", Ahn says under his breath.
"Looks like we're headed to the Second Chance ..."
GM Tyranius |
Yea I thought hat it was pretty funny that they wrote it that way also Ahn
Dimly lit by cheap oil lamps sputtering on walls punctuated by
painted-over windows, the Second Chance reeks of unwashed
humanity and pungent ash. Threads of sickly sweet smoke
drift like smog from tin hookahs. Ale kegs lurk in each corner,
and cheap clay mugs hang from nails on the walls.
As the party enters the tavern hey notice that the establishment looks to be in the middle of a frenzied brawl.
Next to the bar stands a thick scowling Keleshite, gripping a bloody scimitar in one fist. At his feet lie a fresh corpse, blood seeping into the floor boards from the large slashing wounds.
There seems to be another body lying in the NE corner of the building-no visible wounds- with a large wolf standing near him in the opposite corner
In the center of the building the party sees a skinny one-eyed man in tattered clothing perched atop a wobbling table who is frantically kicking at several drugged out thugs who are trying to pull him off
Scattered throughout the remainder of the room are a variety of junkies as there are multiple individuals behind the bar screaming how there are fire breathing dragons battling to the death within the tavern while at various other tables men and women are sprawled out on the floor and draped across their chairs completely unaware of the melee raging about them.
Jenya Poole |
New to the city, Jenya looks around with interest while taking the time to load her trusty pistol with a dose of black powder and a bullet. "Grit means something very different where I'm from. So who are we here to talk to? "
Ahnastasios Silvertongue |
"Well, first we need save one eye from being mauled … can anyone disperse that crowd?"
Against his "better" judgement Ahn begins to Produce Flame ...
Susanoah Cu'Laiomh |
"Oh! Susanoah hadn't seen the man before, "He's right there!" He touched a hand to Jenya's arm and pointed him out. Slowly, as menacingly as Noah could manage, he slid his longsword from its sheath and took a step forward.
"Leave him alone! he shouted to the thugs assaulting the one-eyed man and gestured at his quarry with his blade, "That man is under my protection! I don't want to hurt anyone if I don't have to."
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
GM Tyranius |
In reaction to Susanoah sliding his sword from his sheath the man near the northern door jams two fingers in his mouth and cuts loose a very sharp high-pitched whistle. "I am the one that is in charge of this duneheap! I have ONE rule which everyone seems to be breaking today. he scowling man states as he points his scimitar at the body before him.No Weapons in the Den! Slobber help me take care of these fools that don't understand simple rules of me fine establishment

Susanoah Cu'Laiomh |
"Lovely," Susanoah sighed deeply and his expression slumped, "He's fine with fire, but somebody draws a sword and he goes ballistic. He's got a sword in his hand, of course, but that one's okay. Mine's offensive to his delicate sensibilities."
Ahnastasios Silvertongue |
Ahn draws his bow and fires a Tangleshot Arrow at the "one in charge"
Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Ahn also detects evil, scanning the room.
"We mean no one harm … let us help secure this fine establishment"
diplomacy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
You fire a tangleshot arrow as a ranged touch attack; the arrow deals no damage when it hits, but the target is splashed with the alchemical adhesive. The reduced amount of the glue means this arrow is less effective than an actual tanglefoot bag (DC 10 Reflex save, DC 12 Strength check to break, 10 points of slashing damage to cut through, DC 10 Concentration check).
Tanglefoot bag:
A tanglefoot bag is a small sack filled with tar, resin, and other sticky substances. When you throw a tanglefoot bag at a creature (as a ranged touch attack with a range increment of 10 feet), the bag comes apart and goo bursts out, entangling the target and then becoming tough and resilient upon exposure to air. An entangled creature takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls and a –4 penalty to Dexterity and must make a DC 15 Reflex save or be glued to the floor, unable to move. Even on a successful save, it can move only at half speed. Huge or larger creatures are unaffected by a tanglefoot bag. A flying creature is not stuck to the floor, but it must make a DC 15 Reflex save or be unable to fly (assuming it uses its wings to fly) and fall to the ground. A tanglefoot bag does not function underwater.
Jenya Poole |
Jenya readies an action to shoot the guy in charge if any of the thugs make a hostile move.
"Hey we just one eye over there. We get him and we'll be out of your hair. Better that then a bullet in your head right?"
Readied attack if required, point blank shot on touch: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 91d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Susanoah Cu'Laiomh |
Noah made a face at Jenya's threatening remark, somewhere between surprise and worry. "This got out of hand very quickly," he said. Steadying his shield over his left arm, Noah stays where he is, ready and waiting. If things got ugly, and he hoped they wouldn't, he would defend himself with nonlethal force. Don't shoot him, he thinks to himself, Please don't shoot him.
Readied attack with longsword (non-lethal damage; fighting defensively): 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (4) - 3 = 11d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
GM Tyranius |
Jenya and Susanoah stand at the ready in case the men begin to make a move to harm them while Ahnastasios fires a Tangleshot arrow at the scowling man at Elo missing his target as the arrow strinkes the wall behind him.
Jenya-readied gun
Ahnastasios-Shoots a Tangleshot arrow
Susanoah-readied longsword

Sudara Ishizu |
Sudara watches the growing conflict with unease. It seemed like people would be hurt, which was something he generally avoided. It was one thing to charge in gung-ho to put down a monster and another entirely to start negotiating sword or gun-point diplomacy.
He feared his spear might be needed, so he draws it. He had not yet summoned Kami.
Draw Spear. No BAB so it's a full round for me.
GM Tyranius |
Sudara- Drawing a weapon is a move action. The +1 in BAB just turns it into a free action as part of a move action
Also once the top of the round is present you guys may post your actions and I will just put the sequence in order. It will speed it up. Unless you want to see what an NPC does before your action which is fine.
Negi Othollo |
Oh isn't this gonna be a fun day. Negi brings his fingers up and makes his own whistle as he pulls out his own sword. Here Jon! Negi keeps his eye on the crowd for any aggressive moves, ready to mount Jon as soon as the wolf makes his way inside.
GM Tyranius |
Negi draws his longsword whistling for his companion as he enters the tavern.
You mean me no harm but yet you come into my business drawing weapons!Elo screams as he begins to rush at the party, scimitar in hand. As Elo rushes forward Jenya fires off a round at the man missing her target but is very quick to reload.
Sudara draws his spear
The thugs seeing that weapons have been drawn grasp at pieces of broken chair as they see that weapons have now been drawn and advance on the immediate threat.You keep trying to get him off that table and we will take care of the louts. One of the thugs states as the other two advance on the party causing Susanoah to swing defensively at the closest thug and missing her target.
Club vs Susanoah: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (19) + 0 = 19
Club vs Jenya: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (17) + 0 = 17
damage at Susanoah: 1d6 ⇒ 6
damage at Jenya: 1d6 ⇒ 5
The thug hat remained behind with the one-eyed man grasps at his in an attempt to injure him with his fists and swings at his legs.
unarmed at one-eyed man: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (10) + 0 = 10
non-lethal damage to one-eyed man: 1d3 ⇒ 1
Slobber at the call of his master rushes into the fray jaws snapping at Sudara's legs and narrowly missed his target
Bite vs Sudara: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
The readied action characters were moved in the initiative order and Zahir is up

Zahir
Susanoah Cu'Laiomh |
Sudara also readied an attack that he should have gotten against the wolf, right?
Susanoah was keeping his attention on the large Keleshite with the scimitar, when a length of crude wood smashed suddenly into his head out of nowhere. His vision blurred and pain shot through his skull like a blazing spider's web of hairline fractures. It really hurt!
"You hit me with a chair leg!" Susanoah shouted at the thug incredulously. He craned his head back toward Ahnastasios, blood beginning to trickle onto his brow, "He hit me with a chair leg!"
It struck him then, that these thugs were going to kill him if he kept holding back. But if he killed one of them... he would be a murderer. Wouldn't he? He continued fighting defensively, but this time he lashed out in anger with lethal force.
Longsword (lethal; fighting defensively): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 111d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Say, how many of these thugs are there? You said "several" earlier, but I'd rather know exact numbers. Position would be great too.
Ahnastasios Silvertongue |
Ahn, sensing what Susanoah was thinking, "They attacked us! They drew first blood ... we are under orders to secure one-eye ... we must do what we must do!"
GM Tyranius |
- Susanoah, Yes you are correct Sudara did get a readied action at the wolf. His roll did miss it and I will move him on the initiative order. Thanks
the thugs are just what you see on the map. The rest that was in the text was just flavor text in the book to describe the rest of the scene. These are the only ones that are paying any mind to you guys.
Jenya- Elo is charging at Susanoah and there are plenty of tables :D
GM Tyranius |
there is a link right above my picture
Zahir Hor-Akim |
Before entering what seems a tough fighting, Zahir calls on the power of divine magic. The young Osirian draws his light mace and casts a spell before stepping aside.
I cast Divine Favor and take one 5-foot step east
Jenya Poole |
Ahnastasios, can you wait until Jenya gets out of the way and then move up to the thug who took off half of Jenya's life?
Jenya grunts as the back of a chair hits her squarely in the face.
"That was.. a.. warning shot she manages to say unconvincingly as she steps back and fires at the thug attacking her
five foot step south east
point blank shot on touch: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 81d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
....And the gun clicks as it jams.
"Gods damn it Misfire. Now is not the time."
She showcases some grit of the old fashioned kind as she clears the jam out of her (usually) trusty pistol as quickly as she can.
Grit point expended on Quick Clear as a MA
Negi Othollo |
He hits you with a chair leg, hit him with a sword! Negi says to Susanoah, before doing just that to the goon attacking him.
Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
GM Tyranius |
Zahir draws his mace asking for favor from his gods as Negi swings his shortsword at the thug currently attacking Susanoah causing the thug to fall to the ground in a pool of blood.
I will have the rest of the results once Ahn posts an action for this round

Susanoah Cu'Laiomh |
Crap. Does that mean I wasted my action? Or, well, scimitar guy is charging at me, right? So presuming he doesn't knock me unconscious, can I attack him instead (not that I imagine I'll hit)?
GM Tyranius |
yes I was going to have the hit go to him since he makes it to you first
Ahnastasios Silvertongue |
Sorry … Ahn will Cast produce flame, and step Where Jenya Wanted …

Ranged touch: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

GM Tyranius |
Ahn hurls a ball of flame at Elo and misses his target as the ball of flame strikes the bar.
Elo rushes into range of Susanoah and slashes his scimitar at him and his mark strikes him. Susanoah falls to the ground in a heap as blood begins to seep into the floor boards.
mwk scimitar vs Susanoah: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18
damage to Susanoah: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Jenya moves out of harm and her firearm misfires but she quickly gets it unjammed.
Sudara takes a step back for his longspear and aims it right at the dog but the dog is too nimble to be hit by the spear
The thug slam their club at Ahn, and missed as the thug hit a nearby chair instead, as the other thug continues to knock the one-eyed man into submission

That is true so negate that damage. Yea my rolls have been pretty good on both tables so far lol. So since you were still standing then You also swung at him and missed your attack.
