"...Slick" |
Slick appears next to the sleeping humanoid with a dagger in each hand...
Ninja-sneak-attack-Coup-de-Grace!: 2d4 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (4, 1) + 4 + (6, 4) = 19
And cuts its throat.
That's a Fortitude save DC 29 or die for the humanoid
Whispering "Es oppotan esen malvides, sa es oppotan esen eyenes vengration"
Then he moves to the other humanoid to do the same.
Unless the first one isn't dead yet. Then...it depends what happens
Haer Kul |
"Yes, it seems Mr. Slick has decisively answered your question. M. Slick, there will be times when we need to interrogate our adversaries. I hope you are not always so ... pro-active."
Haer Kul will turn to face Andretta and call out a warning if he sees anything emerging from the door. Perception: 10 + 10 = 20 screw you, paizo dice

I'm not sure how much time is available given that a door just opened, but Slick will attempt the following and stop if required at any point along the way.
Slick finishes off the unconscious humanoid while speaking to Bardos in a string of Elven, and gesturing towards Haer Kul.
Just-in-case-I-need-to-roll-it-Ninja-sneak-attack-Coup-de-Grace!: 2d4 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (3, 4) + 4 + (1, 2) = 14
Then he dons his fine looking mithral chain shirt, attaches his two wakizashis to his back, his katana on his belt, longbow over his shoulder, many shuriken at his belt, and begins stowing daggers about his person.
Concealed dagger in the right boot: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 2 = 21
Another concealed dagger in the left boot: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 9 + 2 = 28
Yet another concealed dagger at the base of his back: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 9 + 2 = 20
And another concealed dagger in his right sleeve: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 9 + 2 = 28
How many daggers does this guy have? This one looks like Thorthal's; concealed dagger in his left sleeve: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 2 = 17
And two daggers are placed prominently in his belt.

After the second coup-de-grace, but before the outfitting.
Note that Haer Kul was in no position to see the door.
A trio of green warriors emerge from the door to the south. On seeing the group, one speaks in Taldane, though its voice lacks emotional inflection.
DM Rambler |
Petronicus casting will start the combat.
Reflex 1: 1d20 ⇒ 10
Reflex 2: 1d20 ⇒ 20

Alien 3 Will: 1d20 ⇒ 12
Andretta casts a spell, and snores rise from the small alien in back.
The standing alien steps forward and swings its axe at Morgrom, wounding the warpriest deeply.

DM Rambler |
Small change after discussion with Glen...
Petronicus sends Scuttles the centipede in towards the standing alien. The warrior swings wildly as the arthropod approaches, then Scuttles climbs to the warrior's face and clicks his mandibles.
axe: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 81d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Will: 1d20 ⇒ 2
The alien reels back, and provides Morgrom with an opening.
"...Slick" |
Unfortunately it takes a double move for Slick to get beside the small alien. Poised to Coup-de-Grace on his next turn with a dagger.
Whispering "Es oppotan esen malvides, sa es oppotan esen eyenes vengration"
Haer Kul |
Haer Kul hurries to the little one, and disarms him. "Does someone have a rope? I would like to question him. Please, Mr. Slick, you will have many opportunities to end lives today. You need not take this one."
Haer Kul |
Assuming Morgrom and Slick stand down, Haer Kul will tie up the little gaffer, and search him thoroughly for anything that might connect him to Rexel.
Knowledge(Arcana): 10 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ 10 + 6 + (1) = 17
Knowledge(Local): 10 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ 10 + 6 + (6) = 22
Knowledge(Nature): 10 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ 10 + 6 + (6) = 22
Perception: 10 + 10 = 20 ... I don't trust you paizo dice.
Regardless of the finding, Haer Kul wants to question him when he regains consciousness.

Slick stands down,
Assuming Morgrom also stands down, then back to this earlier posted action:
Then he dons his fine looking mithral chain shirt, attaches his two wakizashis to his back, his katana on his belt, longbow over his shoulder, many shuriken at his belt, and begins stowing daggers about his person.
Concealed dagger in the right boot: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 2 = 21
Another concealed dagger in the left boot: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 9 + 2 = 28
Yet another concealed dagger at the base of his back: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 9 + 2 = 20
And another concealed dagger in his right sleeve: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 9 + 2 = 28
How many daggers does this guy have? This one looks like Thorthal's; concealed dagger in his left sleeve: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 2 = 17
And two daggers are placed prominently in his belt.
"But Bardos, only Amretta understands me when I speak Common."
And then some more non-elven gibberish directed towards Amretta:
Bardos |
"It would seem that Mr. Slick's version of the Common tongue is different than ours, but Amretta can understand him when he speaks his Common. This is a most uncommon of situations." He turns to Amretta. "You can speak both Commons?"
DM Rambler |
Andretta replies, "Yes, I speak Taldane and Tarsian, in addition to the Mecantile Tongue. Also Elven and Ultari and a few others."
She readies herself to translate the interrogation to Slick.

Slick: Dead badmen good.
Bardos: Mr Slick! No kill Little! Haer Kul guess! Him good guess-man! And we talky!
Slick: Lots knives good. Words say so. Bardos, just Andretta savvy talky.
Bardos: Different talky talk.
Andretta: They talky talk home, you talky talk you home, I talky talk me home. We no home because badmen.
DM Rambler |
Each of the aliens carries an appropriately-sized battle-axe and missile weapon, as well as a 6-inch-long cylindrical metal rod. The missile weapons each have an attached case containing 5 thorny resin projectiles (4 in the case of the one who shot at Haer Kul). None of the items radiate a magical aura, when checked.
Haer Kul |
I assume the metal rod is hollow? "Be cautious handling the projectiles. I assume they carry some kind of toxin. Sadly, I am at the limit of what I can carry, so I must demur."
When L'il Alien regains consciousness, Haer Kul will begin to talk to it. "
"Do you remember your alchemy?" Haer Kul will start describing alchemical formulae, to see if he gets any recognition.
Haer Kul will also talk about gnomish childhood things, to see if he can reach any deep-seated memories.
He will try for at least 10 minutes.
Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29
Sense motive: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Knowledge(Arcana): 1d20 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (13) + 6 + (1) = 20
Knowledge(Engineering): 1d20 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (8) + 6 + (2) = 16
Knowledge(Geography): 1d20 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (19) + 6 + (2) = 27

Knowledge(Local): 1d20 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (7) + 6 + (1) = 14
Knowledge(Nature): 1d20 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (16) + 6 + (2) = 24
If there's any sign that he's connecting, he'll keep going.
Bardos |

Bardos interjects:
"This reminds me of an expedition to some 'barrier peaks' a spirit I channeled couldn't stop talking about." He reaches for one of the resin projectors. "Not sure I'd be any good with this thing, but I couldn't be any worse that I am with my sling! Tomorrow I'm sure I could find a spirit on this ship that knows how to use it I'm sure, assuming we live that long."
He then turns to 'Slick' and goes on at length in Elven, wiggling his new weapon and introducing himself with a bow.
"...Slick" |
After a lengthy string of Elven directed toward Bardos, Slick looks somewhat dejected. Then he draws an arrow back on his bow and points it between the small alien's eyes.
Directed at Haer Kul: "Esta musthos bel gotteringen il jan"
Directed at Amretta: "Amretta es distristen askensa?"
Directed at the small alien: "Dis astar es haga jan dos crepanyan, dis medellen chence ka disten barred pel"
To Amretta: "Amretta can you translate please?"
To the alien: "The longer you take to answer, the more chance my fingers slip on my bowstring"
Haer Kul |
"Please be patient a little longer, Mr. Slick."
Haer Kul will try to talk to the alien in Common.
"What is your name?"
"How long have you been here?"
"Why did you take us?"
"How many of you are there?"
"Do you know anything of alchemical formulae?" Haer Kul will start describing some basic alchemy, and see if there is recognition.
"How many more have you captured?"
"What is causing the rumbling and shaking that we feel?"
