Normally would put some effort into the show description, but pressed for time on holidays

Tobar's puts such ferocity into his flute blowing that he is left winded and with a slight side strain....

In Rekkstuff's own case, there is something manic about the way he is guitaring the heck out of his guitar.

The chieftain leaps to his feet as soon as you finish.

"Magnificent!" he cries, clapping wildly. The crowd around him also bursts into applause, along with a chorus of whistles and cat calls. "You have more than made up for your poor showing last night. You will be richly rewarded for the culture you have brought to our village!"

He and a squad of his guards lead you all to the treasure room, and lets you each pick out 5000 gp worth of treasure and currency.

Congratulations, you totally rocked that show! Go ahead and pick out some swag, including magic weapons, armor, etc. And if you don't mind, I think we'll skip the XP bit and let you all level up when I decide (like right now!)


Male Half-elf Unarmed Fighter 1/Bard 4

Er... is that 5k gold total, or for each of us?


Not in use

Tobar allows himself a brief smile before settling back into character - waving to the crowd and using his ability to produce flame to make it appear as though he is afire as he walks away to select his swag.


Not in use

When the gnolls are far enough out of earshot "Well bugger me with a tree stump boys, but that was a bloody good gig." smiling as he looks over the treasury "With a handily earned reward... p'raps we shouldn't throw Vinny under the cart just yet"


Male human Soundstriker Bard 4

"I suppose not, although we should've been warned about the lion."


Male Human (Varisian) Songhealer Bard 4

Despite the newfound wealth, Jordon still scowls at the mention of the gnome's name. "Bah! He shouldn't've presumed to play manager like that. I say he's a nuisance, and we coulda gotten loot like this without riskin' our necks. Well, least not as much. May Roach rest in peace." He looks solemn for a moment, then resumes his unhappy frowning.


Male Half-Elf Urban Barbarian 1/Archaeologist Bard 3

"Definitely should have been warned."

Rekkstuff tunes his guitar again. "Seriously though... it ended well enough. We brought awesome to a completely new culture. And it was pretty sexy. Also I got to hit a lion in the face with a guitar. Can't be a total waste, right guys?"


Not in use

Somewhat sarcastically "Oh aye, being made a lion's chew toy was always on my bucket list."


Male Human (Varisian) Songhealer Bard 4

Jordon scoffs, and says, "Well, of course we were able to pull it off, but..." He's still clearly not liking Vinny as the manager.

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32, RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16, RPG Superstar 2013 Top 16

As you trundle your way through the countryside on your way back from the gig, Vinny expounds at length on how incredible you were.

"Brilliant!" he says, waving his arms. "I've never seen such skill. Such poise! Such badassery! I'm telling you, I've got big plans for you, big plans!"


Male Half-Elf Urban Barbarian 1/Archaeologist Bard 3

Moments before, in the vault...:
Rekkstuff had been checking around, looking through the gargantuan mound of stuff.

Then, he laid eyes upon it. It was a legend, the sorts of things other bards spoke rumors of, the thing he had needed since he had set out, but hadn't been able to find.

Quickly, Rekkstuff put the spell component pouch around his waist, (5 gp) looking around to make sure there were no rivals for its sweet sweet bounty of spellcasting components.

Then, he saw her.

He had no idea how she had ended up in a gnoll treasury like this. It was the sort of weapon that was manufactured maybe once in an age. He grabbed it from where it stood atop a small pile of coins, and turned it over in his hands. It was a Gibson Flying V. He knew the workmanship immediately, it was the sort of thing he had drooled over, staring in a window of a shop display as a child. His hands ran down the strings of the instrument, and he played a chord quickly.

It was a beautiful sound, even having lain here for ages it was still on key. Such was the craftsmanship of the Flying V. He ran a hand down its length to the end of it, running a finger alongside the smooth groove of the axe. It was sharpened to a fine line. Truly, it was designed as a weapon and a musical instrument--he knew from reading a catalog that it worked wonderfully from both a murder and a music perspective.

He wanted it. And from the look of things, it wanted him. This was a meeting of fate. Rekkstuff took the instrument and put it on his back, making an x-shape alongside his Rickenbacker 4001. (As discussed, +1 Greataxe that is also a Masterwork Guitar. Total cost is 2420 gp, 2425 total gp.)

Looking around the room, he next grabbed a particularly magic-looking Mithral Chain Shirt. It was light, and it was pretty. Good for murdering, and cleans up to go from day to nightwear. (+1 Mithral Shirt, 2100 gp, total 4525 gp)

He then grabbed several potions off the wall, putting them into his backpack, before grabbing a small swipe of coin and calling it a day. 9 potions of Enlarge Person (450 gp, total 4975 gp + 25 gp = 5000)

Back in the moment, Rekkstuff quirks an eyebrow, hearing Vinnie. "Well, as long as we have him run his crazy schemes by us BEFORE signing up for them, it should be okay. Right?"


Male Half-elf Unarmed Fighter 1/Bard 4

Victor sits nervously, examining his newly acquired gear. He grabbed the nicest armor, buckler, and sword he could find - he'll be ready the next time there's a lion.


Male Human (Varisian) Songhealer Bard 4

Jordon picks out a few choice trinkets from the pile, including a stylish and well-cared-for accordion with light blue lightning bolts painted on it. He finds it surprising that it stayed in such good condition under the care of the gnolls, but then again, he was surprised the gnolls liked death metal polka also.

Later, he looks at Vinny with a quirked eyebrow, and says, "Oh?" He readies a nasty comment, but stows it away, trying not to be too rude to the little man. Instead, he just takes a deep breath and looks ahead, waiting for someone else to deal with the pesky gnome.

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32, RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16, RPG Superstar 2013 Top 16

"Yes!" cries Vinny. "I'm already trying to get you guys signed up for the regional qualifier competition in Barger City. If you make it there, you could end up playing before the king himself! (mayheliveathousandyears)"


Male human Soundstriker Bard 4

"Well, I guess it couldn't hurt to sign up," Roger says thoughtfully, thinking to himself.


Not in use

As stated earlier - I'll fill in my kit choices when back home on the 11th of Jan - will be poisons and potions and minor magic gear.

Shrugging his shoulders gamefully "Well... long as we don't end up facing down lions without our gainsay - I reckon we could give it a red hot go."


Male Half-Elf Urban Barbarian 1/Archaeologist Bard 3

"Huh... Playing before the king..."

We interrupt this thread for a Rekkstuff Thought Process:
Scene: The king's palace. Time: After rocking his socks off.

"REKKSTUFF VANHALEN!"

"Yes, your kingly mckingliness?"

"Your guitar playing was superb! Indeed, you are the greatest rocker in all the entire world. My kingdom bows to your superior guitar playing!!"

"Why thank you, sir. I am pretty darn awesome."

"How about you marry my daughter? Actually, how about you marry all twelve of my daughters!"

"Are they hot?"

"YES!" Several hot women came through a formerly unmentioned side-door and swarmed the rocker.

"I guess I could take them of your hands..."

He began to laugh.

Rekkstuff is making an odd laughing noise, but seems to enjoy this plan.


Male Half-elf Unarmed Fighter 1/Bard 4

Sense Motive on Rekkstuff's strange laughter:
1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18

"You thinking what I'm thinking, Rekkstuff?"

*winks*


Male Human (Varisian) Songhealer Bard 4

Jordon ponders the gnomes words, and gives in silently, giving the others his acceptance if they want to take Vinny as a full time manager. After all, a ticket to Barger is exactly what the group wanted, and if this gnome could provide it, maybe he wasn't so bad.

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32, RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16, RPG Superstar 2013 Top 16

Considering he was puckering his lips and fondling the air, your Sense Motive was more than enough.

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32, RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16, RPG Superstar 2013 Top 16

As you trundle along the road in your rented cart, the rooftops of Barger City gradually come into view. Trails of smoke rise from the ironworks and blacksmith shops, and a thin stream of other carts, loaded with trade goods and people, make their way down the well-packed dirt of the road toward the main gate.

Vinny stands up in the cart, shouting and pointing at the freshly painted sign on the side that advertises Squealy Nord's appearance at the bardic competition the next day. As you pass through the gate, armored guards with crossbows glance down at you unenthusiastically, scanning the incoming traffic.

"Ah!" Vinny says, breathing in deeply. "You smell that? That's the smell of opportunity. There are tourists around every corner, just waiting to be separated from their money."


Male Human (Varisian) Songhealer Bard 4

Jordon takes a big whiff, expecting to smell the opportunity and instead smelling the horses. He chokes a bit on the smell, and says to Vinny, "Ah, maybe it's an acquired taste, but opportunity smells horrid!" He's obviously joking as he says this, a sly smile on his face. He's as excited as Vinny is to see the sign on the side of the road, advertising their very own selves!


Male human Soundstriker Bard 4

We're finally making it, boys. And it's about damn time, too, wouldn't you say? It was high time our talents were actually recognized.


Male Half-elf Unarmed Fighter 1/Bard 4

Victor breathes in deeply.

"Ah, I smell it too, Vinny," he says, smiling somewhat grimly. "The smell of the opportunity to not be fed to lions while onstage."

Victor glares at the gnome for a few seconds before turning his gaze back to the sights of the big city.


Male Half-Elf Urban Barbarian 1/Archaeologist Bard 3

"Toooootally am."

Sometime later...

"Let's not rule anything out, Victor. It might be a good opening act."


Male human Soundstriker Bard 4

"It certainly worked for the gnolls, didn't it?"


Male Human (Varisian) Songhealer Bard 4

"Actually, the lion bit nearly got us killed by the gnolls, if I remember correctly. Of course, at our concerts, it doesn't have to be us fighting the thing." Jordon actually thinks it'd be a good, gory way to start a metal performance, regardless of which side won the fight. Of course, that doesn't mean he enjoyed it when it was his band mates.

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32, RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16, RPG Superstar 2013 Top 16

As you slowly wind your way through the crowded streets, Vinny steers the cart toward the side paths until the people are only a trickle.

"I know a great tavern here, where we can celebrate your imminent victory," he says. Eventually you find yourselves outside a dirty little hole-in-the-wall called the Howling Haddock. As the six of you enter, a pale, slightly build woman stumbles out, tripping over herself and falling into Victor's arms. She quickly mumbles an apology and staggers on her way.

"Hitting the bottle a little early, that one," Vinny remarks, miming a drink in his hand. "Now let's go talk you up to the locals."

Perception checks:
Jordon: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Roger: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Rekkstuff: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Tobar: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

Victor and Roger:
You notice that when she stumbled into Victor, the woman passed him a note.


Male human Soundstriker Bard 4

Roger works his way quietly over to Victor.

Victor:
"That has to be the quickest work I've ever seen. You didn't even need to talk to her to pick her up. You're gonna have to teach me how you do it. Anyway, what's that note? She want you back at her place already?"


Male Half-elf Unarmed Fighter 1/Bard 4

Whispered to Roger:

Roger:
Pffft, that wasn't my work. I can get better than a pale, scrawny hag.


Male human Soundstriker Bard 4

Whispered to Victor:
"Strange, I could've sworn.... Nevermind. What's it say, what's it say?"

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32, RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16, RPG Superstar 2013 Top 16

Victor:
Do you want to look at the note immediately?


Male Half-elf Unarmed Fighter 1/Bard 4

RDN:
No. I figure it's either (A) not anything I care about, or (B) something important enough that it would be unwise to make it obvious that I acquired it at the moment that the lady ran into me. So either way, not gonna read it yet. Maybe in the tavern later, maybe alone in my room tonight. Haven't decided yet.

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32, RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16, RPG Superstar 2013 Top 16

Vinny pushes past the whispering duo, and calls for everyone's attention at the bar.

"Friends! Bargerians! You above all people have been blessed by the gods! For tomorrow you will hear the superb musical stylings of none other than the renowned Squealy Nord!"

He pauses for applause, which is not forthcoming. "Barkeep! A round of drinks!" This gets the crowd going, and Vinny steps off the table and mutters above the cheers of revelry: "You guys still have some of that gold from the chieftain, right?"


Male Human (Varisian) Songhealer Bard 4

Jordon sighs at Vinny, and tells the little man, "Alright, but don't call for another." He takes his own drink and tries to forget the gnome's existence as he smiles to the people and makes relaxed conversation.


Male Half-Elf Urban Barbarian 1/Archaeologist Bard 3

"A bit." Rekkstuff mutters back, looking around the room. "Hah. Bet those sad-sack backwoods failures aren't going to be anywhere near a venue like this one. It's a pity. Would have loved to kick their arses."


Not in use

Tobar strides as tall as his small frame allows, deigning not to speak to the masses so as to add to his miniscule mystique. He strolls to the bar, takes one of the drinks that he has paid for and gets to enjoying the amber liquid.

Responding to Rekk "Feh, we're in the big smoke now mateys - and there's a fair bit of crumpet to be had..." eyes scanning the room to take in both the women and anyone who looks decently well off.


Male human Soundstriker Bard 4

Roger disengages the conversation with Victor with a quick

Victor:
Tell me about it later
, moving up to the bar to get his first drink of many for the night.

"Hey, Rekkstuff, you want a rematch?"


Male Half-elf Unarmed Fighter 1/Bard 4

"I'm not carrying either of you to your room. Remember that."


Male Human (Varisian) Songhealer Bard 4

Jordon breaks off a tall tale he was telling to a rather rotund fellow once he hears Roger offer a rematch. This, he wants to see. He looks expectantly to Rekkstuff, already knowing the answer.

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32, RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16, RPG Superstar 2013 Top 16

OK, I'm lowering the DC this time. Fortitude saves at 20 paces, starting at DC 10. Each success raises it by 3. First to fail passes out drunk.


Male Half-elf Unarmed Fighter 1/Bard 4

Victor's curiosity gets the better of him, and he decides to make an opportunity out of this.

"Match of the century, folks! Let's see who the better drinker is!"

Victor tries to get the crowd focused on the drinking contest so that he can sit a table or two back and

Spoiler:
read the note.

Perform(Oratory)/Diplomacy:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26


Male human Soundstriker Bard 4

Rekkstuff still hasn't accepted yet. He may not even want to drink. :P

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32, RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16, RPG Superstar 2013 Top 16

Victor:
Someone's after me. Help!


Male Half-elf Unarmed Fighter 1/Bard 4

Victor moves over to Roger and whispers in his ear:

Roger:
The note was asking for help - says someone's out to get her. What should we do?


Not in use

Tobar moves over to the glasses "Now we know what happened last time, so best I check the booze" and makes an elaborate show of sniffing and inspecting the drinks.

For DM:
Sleight of Hand: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Rekkstuff:
Tobar gives a sly wink, and you think you see him drop something into Roger's drink

Roger:
Tobar gives a sly wink, and you think you see him drop something into Rekkstuff's drink

Perception DC 15:
Tobar didn't actually put anything in either glass, he just made it look like he did.

Hidden Perception checks

Rekkstuff:
You know he was faking putting something in the glass.

Roger:
