you are correct that is how it will work

Saul calls the floor manager back in, a friendly seeming dwarf, who leads Anezka and Biggs to rooms upstairs, and he assures both that he will send for your belongings.

Saul hands each of the departing a potion. If you have any wounds left, drink these.

Then he turns to the pondering Meriwen and waits.

make sure you two read the mechanics of running the tavern

Vuvu will identify the stuff later, when he used an identify extract.

yup just getting there biggs! :)

how do you move on an iPhone? i have yet to figure that out!

Saul grabs Anezka's hand in an almost crushing shake. Excellent!!

Yes. And I know. I was a gang leader here in Riddlepport. It cost me my fortune, my wife my kids and my hand. By the time I got out I had almost nothing, just enough to buy the Goblin here. Things have not gone as well as I would have hoped, but I am too old to go back to crime. Too old and and too tired.

This is the kicker though. I am legit. The Goblin is legit, but that don't mean I don't have enemies any more. After hearing what happened I know who one of them was. It was Angavar, Angavar and his one-eyed trollop. They have worked protection for almost every range out there, but I suspect they are working for Clegg Zincher now, maybe one of the others.

He takes a large gulp
Enough about me. Like I said I sense great things from you three. Join me as junior partners. You will report to me, and you can work here in the club about 4 hours a day, that leaves plenty of time to make your mark outside as well. You can work the floor, as a bouncer a dealer, promotions whatever you want to improve business. After all your 10gp a week is your base pay, then you take a percentage of profit or loss, but with us here there will be no loss! You get a room here, and if you eat with me you eat for free. Now of course your real job will be as my personal consultants, but that is for us to know. Now whatta ya say?

He leans forward a huge grin on his face, and hope in his eyes.

got ya biggs!

Saul stares hard at Anezka. Then he laughs and slaps his hand on the table as Biggs and Mariwen sit as well I assume they do cause otherwise…well this is a bit of a railroad lol

My thoughts exactly! I wanted to bring you all in as Junior partners. 10 gp a week, plus a cut of the profits! You all are bright burning flames in this city. Now the ways I sees it. You can either work here with me, someone who knows the inner workings of this city, after all with my past you have to, someone who can nuture that light, or strike out on your own and burn up quick. Together we are going to build your reputations and rebuild mine.

We were going to make akilling of of that. Restore our reputation while we were at it! So what brings you to the tournament, you don't seem like much of a gambler

i assume you all will just split the loot evenly, and beyond that you can decide how you would like to do it, in general i am against metagaming, but when it comes to loot, a little metagaming and being fair to the players is ok with me. you can also assume that ou sell the other stuff for half price if you like, Saul will take care of that for you in this instance

Whats yer name girly? Saul asks Anezka as he slides over a mug of ale

Saul calms visibly at the explanation.

10000 silver. gone. Dammit.

Saul moves off to begin checking the place out, after a bit the door finally is able to open and people begin to stream out, others begin to call for their money.

Saul tries to quell their anger by letting cash in their chips for110% of their value, and the patrons leave, and not surprisingly most of the staff quits on the spot.

The authorities arrive to take away those that survived and the bodies of those thugs that did not, but not before the PC's had time to search them.
--------

After all but Larur the dwarf floor manager and a couple guards have left, Saul calls the three "heroes" over.

Well the tournament was a failure, things look bleak. But you know what? I can smell it. Success, it is just around the corner, and you three are the ones that can help me find it. Lets have a seat, some drinks and lets talk shall we? I would have preferred it had you stopped the main thieves but I will live.

The guards right a table and bring over some ales, and Saul gestures for everyone to sit.

Do you? Also I assume you loot the bodies of the 4 thugs?

It takes another 30 seconds before a door slams open and Saul, the man who greeted everyone bursts in.

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?! I WAS NOT IN THE VAULT FOR MORE THAN A MINUTE! WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS…WHERE IS THE CHEST OF SILVER?! WHERE IS OLD SCRATCH?!

The man staggers for a step then falls.

Combat over

The danger has passed, it is still utter chaos in the Goblin at the moment. What do you all do?

1d20 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 4 = 17 for 1d4 ⇒ 1
Mariwen nibly makes her way to attack the prone man, the claw rakes across his back.

The thug on the ground tries to stand 1d20 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 4 = 29 for 1d4 ⇒ 4
1d20 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 4 = 22 for 1d4 ⇒ 3 only to have his throat torn out by Mariwen

1d20 ⇒ 19 the other thug nimbly moves through the window and starts to flee.

The eagle strikes at him 1d20 ⇒ 13 and hits 1d4 ⇒ 2 and leaves another line of blood on his neck.

Go Heroes

the acid sputters at the end of his hammer and does not actually fire off.

yep you moved!

booting because I am bored at work!

1d20 ⇒ 2 Unalaq slams his blade into the earth killing a beetle, but missing his foe

1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 2 = 16 for 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 Bears club slams into the dogs side.

1d20 ⇒ 6 the dog tries to bite Bear, but misses.

1d20 ⇒ 17 this time the dog catches hold of Tarinhill 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
1d20 ⇒ 5 Tarinhill immediately breaks out in a rash and is -2 Dex and CHA for a day

1d20 ⇒ 3 the goblin swings his dog slicer, but only connects with the flat of the blade, dealing no damage

1d20 ⇒ 7 again the remaining dog only catches unalaq's armor

GO Heroes

np have been moving you!

The bolt slams into the dirt at Fernus' feet, he is a little frightened it would seem.

no worry Mariwen, only asked because I am often wrong, but yes you do easily tumble through,well maybe not easily but you can certainly do it, remember that there is grease on the ground as well

i think it might be Aeron, I rolled a 1 for your fort save lol

Aeron turns the dog into pudding. 1d100 ⇒ 91

Tarinhil meanwhile slashes the dog, it yelps and the goblin snarls

Where you come from? Goblin cut you face!

Go Heroes

The Goblin dog, near Tarinhil smells him and attacks him, the goblin on top meanwhile cries out

It bites at Tarin, but he easily pulls aside, the goblin fires another arrow, this time at Fernus , the arrow strikes Fernus in the hip, dealing a nasty cut 6pts. However that attack provokes from Tarinhill, though he is distracted and misses the swing.

The dog facing Unalaq bites his arm but is unable to get though the metal armor there.

The rider facing Aeron manages to guide his dog out of flank and he attacks with a dogslicer, which misses wide, it does, however make Aeron swerve right into the jaws of the dog dealing 4 damage and Aeron immediately begins to itch all over -2 to Dex and Cha for 24 hours or until the rash is dealt with

The last dog snaps at Bear but cannot get through his artificially toughened skin.

Bear can you get a stat line up?I know it isn't because you are too busy keeping us from dying in WotW!

The two thugs slip and slide and the one to the east falls on his back, then the eagle plunges down and strikes is smite still up?

Bear's attack topples another goblin.

Fernus the one you hit is dead... But you do put a bolt in this close ones face!

just did a refresher of the next section, lots of leeway and a lot of RP opportunities coming up.

The mechanics are a bit wonky but we will get them!

Draken zips down turning cartwheels as he does he lands on the other side of Arron's foe

I am moving ahead as if you only get one attack if you can point me to how you get the second we can retcon and he will drop from that second attack

The imp disappears, another fleeing victim tries to open the door and he is unable to.

The thug near the eagle moves to the window and shatters is. 1d20 ⇒ 7 the eagle misses

The one between biggs and Meri 1d20 ⇒ 18 and he successfuly tumbles away from his foes, he also moves toward the window.

go heroes

Unalaq sends a goblin tumbling, almost chopped in two. The dog snarls at Unalaq

how are you getting multiple attacks if you are tumbling? and moving more than 5 feet? Is that some archetype thing I am missing? Because otherwise you only get both on a full attack I believe.

RP will be slower combat will be fast.

in general I will bot if people are waiting and the actions are simple, as this combat

important decisions will be given lots of time.

going to be out for a bit. when I come back I will bot Mariwen if he hasn't had a chance yet, then we will move into what I suspect is the last round of combat.

ah anezka is funny. she is going to make some interesting "friends" in this AP

you have terrible luck Aeron

you are correct in all your assessments, ironically I rolled their alignments, and one fellow was CN, but he is the one that got his head caved in

Anezka, I forgot to pull the thug from the map, just wrote him unconscience, so I assume that you had the eagle attack the thug that is looting, if you want to change your action to have it attack the other one, or do something else that is fine.

The eagle appears and ravages the looting thug, he yelps in surprise as the cuts appear on his neck.

the goblins all fired arrows in surprise, but all of them flew wide or high not an auspicious start for the gobbos is it?

its a good thing our heroes were ready to fight, because at that moment 4 goblins on dogs burst out of the underbrush, how no one saw them is unfathomable remind me to tell you later how they knew you were coming

Fernus being ready launches his bolt and it catches a goblin in the face

Tarin the do not seem to have seen you…though it is safe to assume the dogs smell you

[rolling inits] dammit all! goblin inits were 1,2,1,1 stupid dice rolling app

Heroes have the initiative. GO

Unalaq moves across and while everyone is checking the place out he assumes a defensive posture. Total Defense

I can't wait for Fernus to get confident and badass

Biggs blow glances off the leather protecting the thugs shoulder

im going to gut you for that stumpy. he growls

I knew it! Heavens oracle

two more hits on the thug and he wavers then collapses

the imp flies out.

The thug that was attacked by the eagle returns the favor 1d20 ⇒ 20 to confirm 1d20 ⇒ 1 for 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 = 7. The eagle falls headless and disappears. The thug steps up on Anezka again.

The thug that had been guarding the man and woman races to one of the people and begins tearing off jewelry.

The other thug attacks Biggs again 1d20 ⇒ 19 to confirm 1d20 ⇒ 13
1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 1 = 6 of damage as the shortsword catches a crease in the armor

Go Heroes Anezka is no longer blind

Loot what you want boys! The woman calls as she and the man leave the building. The door slams shut behind them, but just before she leaves she casts another spell open/close and the cage holding Old scratch leaps open[/ooc]

Botting Anezka to keep things moving. on her last round of being blind, I hope this is ok

Anezka steps away from the thug and casts another summon monster bring forth another eagle

1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 but it fatigues her

the eagle appears and attacks 3d20 ⇒ (9, 16, 14) = 39 the claws both catch him

2d4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 4) + 2 = 10

Draken I made a mistake the area that I put the wolves in is open to the air, you see 4 goblin dogs roaming around in there.

baby!

yes bear i do mean level 4!!

aaron what do you do that has such yucky hours?
