Guys sorry to do this but I am going to have to drop. I have way to much on my plate at the minute and this is one of the only times I have been able to get on for more than 5 minutes. I am really really sorry I just don't have the time any more. I hope that everyone manages to survive the horrors.
Ratcliff wags his scaly tail "I agree. I feel much safer when everyone can fight. But can't deny that it was fun." He moves off to search the attic. Perception:
Ratcliff fires a shining missile at the creature while trying to remember all he can about the creature. DMG:
Ratcliff will head to the staircase "Your right might aswell keep moving. If this ghost is aiming to kill or maim someone every hour the quicker we move the better."
Sense Motive:
Ratcliff studies the conversation.
"Yes she does and I find Ebin particularly creepy." He looks over at the Gnome and rubs his whiskers. "Then again maybe we are looking at this the completely wrong way. Maybe he was guilty but doesn't believe that he is. I have heard that memories can be blocked by traumatic events... But I doubt we will find the truth until this...thing allows us to, if we can even trust it to show us that is."
"We could tie him up." He says it as a joke clearly trying to lighten the situation. "I think the other Jurors will help with the load." He nods at Horven
Ratcliff stares at the creature, fear running down his spine. He shrinks back slightly preparing a spell to fight, but then Horven runs after the Dwarf "Wait!!! Two people won't stand a better chance than one!!!" He goes to follow after Horven indicating to the others to follow "We should all stick together and get...get away from that thing."
Ratcliff drops the spell that he had prepared when he sees Gared's arrow frop the zombie. He moves over to the corpse quickly and examines him to see if he recognizes him and searches the body for any clue to his death. Kn Rolls: Kn Local:
Kn Nature: Heal:
Awesome imagery with the veins and such :P feel a little freaked out actually ;)
Ratcliff follows behind making sure to prepare a spell as they walk "Guess we should keep an eye on the ceiling this time!!!" He does a squeaky giggle at his own joke and swishes his tail I don't think I have ever been so terrified and so happy all at the same time.
"I think that door we saw earlier in the lounge may be good to explore and then to travel up to the third floor."
"Hmm yes I am eager to explore once more." He walks over to the barred door and tries to see if he can open it "I might need a little help with this door. I'm not exactly the strongest."
Ratcliff shivers at the eerie whisper, "I agree Gared, seems as if we have been assigned the task of handing out justice." He looks around the room some more "Looks like we are stuck here till we figure out this mess. Any ideas where to go next?"
Ratcliff rubs his whiskers before running over to examine the strange blob thing. Kn Nature:
He then does his strange rat like smile at Gared, "No problem friend. Yes we should check that window, see if there is a way out."
Ratcliff sees the desperate struggle and moves a bit further into the room. He quickly forms another diamond of blue energy and lets it fly at the leech.
Probably both to be honest ;) at the minute no one seems willing to share anything to revealing and we don't have loads of evidence condemning them but been a meany might solve that problem :P
Ratcliff is letting me down with these perception rolls ;)
Perception:
"Erm does anyone know why Malgrim has teeth in a pouch?" Ratcliff takes the potion but allows everyone else to take what they would want "He won't be needing it anymore I guess." He walks over to Madge and hands her the potion "Drink this, it will...help with the pain."
Ratcliff squeaks and swishes his tail in excitement "I've never tried that on a live...well moving target before!!!" He scuttles across the room and studies the corpse looking for anything out of the ordinary, apart from the fact that it was walking a few seconds ago. "A severe punishment, being brought back from death." Rolls: Perception:
Kn Nature: Kn Arcana:
Ratcliff lifts his hands and a small shining blue, diamond shaped piece of magic forms. He squeaks as he releases it.
Ratcliff squeaks in fear and quickly scurries to withdraw from the combat. Suddenly his fear is offset by curiosity and he turns to study the creature "I wonder how you managed to get here"
Sense Motive:
Ratcliff puts his fingers on the painting "Silman Trabe. He was the judge presiding over the Jabrin Mord trial." He is startled when the Dwarf comes up the stairs "Yes yes I am at least. What happened to Silman. Why isn't he here."
"Even if we were to deliver justice there is rather a few of them and only 4 of us. We could probably take them but it would be brutal." He looks about at his surroundings "Besides is this not punishment enough. " He walks over to the picture and studies it trying to remember anything useless about the name. Knowledge Local:
Ratcliff follows in the back and says to the jurors as he puts his foot on the first step. "I think you should wait here till we make sure it's safe to come up. We won't be able to get back down the stairs quickly of you are all clogging it." He has never been one for finesse but this sounds like a reasonable reason to him. He follows directly behind the Horven after that and once up the stairs studies the area. Perception:
Ratcliff looks at Horven and does a rodenty smile "Yes upstairs I agree. There must be some way down to the Gallows from there. Even if there isn't there is bound to be some hint what is going on here." And I get a naughty thrill from going up. Ratcliff swishes his tail in excitement of what is to come. His fear and anxiety forgotten.
Ratcliff scuttles quickly behind Horven as they walk. Then on reaching a more northern part of the corridor he pauses to take in his surroundings So many doors!!! Ratcliff is now at a loss of which direction to go "Hmmm. Do any of you jurors know which door leads to the Gallows. Or what is up those stairs." He thinks for a moment "I suppose if we really want Mord's attention Gallows would be the best bet."
Ratcliff listens to the argument quietly, impatient to move on from this scene of death. How is arguing going to help us. He fidgets on the spot becoming slightly more agitated with each passing second. Sense Motive:
Nasty ;) He sees Killian point and quickly squeaks "Yes lets go there. Would be good to investigate, but we should be quick it might get worse at night."
Ratcliff gagged at the scene "I have seen things in my time but this...." He holds back his horror and tries to look around the room, avoiding the dead eyes of the hanging Hobgoblin. Perception:
Just noticed they have all the ARG stuff on D20 now :D Know what I am doing the rest of the night ;)
Hectic few days sorry guys :/
Ratcliff follows after Ganer and Horven making sure his hands are free for whatever might be through that door. "Sounds like he may have been eaten. Interesting." he thinks to himself At least he warned us that something bad is through that door. He scurries forward excitement mixed with fear on his rodent face.
Ratcliff steps back slightly and waits for the arguments to finish, he is not inclined to interfere, especially since violence was becoming increasingly likely. If he want's to leave let him leave. He will soon come running back. There are much more important things to do. were Ratcliff's inner thoughts however he doesn't voice anything at this moment.
Ratcliff slowly stands back up. His head pounds but he manages to prevent his body from purging his innards. His hands shake slightly but looking at Garner and Gared he see's he got off lucky. He swallows "Suddenly... I have a deep hatred of clocks." his words are slurred slightly as he talks. He goes to check on the jurors making sure no one is too damaged.
The images ricochet through Ratcliff's mind, images of torture and pain. He squeaks in fear and frustration before falling to his knees. A small part of his mind fights for control... Will Save:
Ratcliff shrinks back slightly against the size of the room, Much to big. He plucks up his courage and dares to take his eyes from the ceiling, he looks around. Perception:
Ratcliff is shaken by the attack of flying books. Then he responds to Ganer and his answer is in agreement with Gared's "Ganer I guess we just... survive." He flicks his tail slightly before speaking once more. "As much as I am intrigued by this place and it's hauntings...I suggest that we move quickly through this place... we can always come back if needed." He gives the room a final glance over of anything important before waiting for everyone to be ready to move.
"Ohhh these could be interesting!!!" He immediately goes over to one of the books. He picks it up to examine it. Then Ratcliff walks over to the desk and looks through the draws for anything interesting. Perception:
He strokes his whiskers considering which door is best "Either one will most likely be dangerous...unless he wants us to leave this room." He studies Horven before continuing. "I assume it's attention is already on us."
Ratcliff wanders close to Ganer "Your probably right." He looks around at them all "Which way is the quickest out of this building." Although I am eager to see this ghost in action.
Ratcliff remains where he is but swishes his tail in a faint representation of anger "Horven I agree. I do not think that this is the doing of Jabin Mord's ghost." He thinks for a moment "If it was truly to do with him then why would I and the others who were not on the jury be here." On second thought who chooses the jury in Absalom. He racks his mind for any knowledge of the legal system in Absalom. Knowledge:
Ratcliff is startled and steps back quickly when the axe flew from the table, he stares at the axe for a while before curiosity got the better of him and he scuttles across the room to where it rests. He inspects the axe while keeping an ear open to the conversation. Perception:
Ratcliff also racks his mind for information on ghosts or Hauntings. Knowledge Checks:
Haha I am used to playing Clerics or Oracles so got Orisons stuck in my head ;) Hmm I think I will probably switch out Detect Magic for Read Magic. Feel like that could be more useful :)
Hmm never been asked to swear anything before. He strokes his whiskers again before speaking " Yes you can all count on my... skills. I will do my best." He listens intently as the others recount their dreams then when asked about his own he quietly replies "I...I remember that there was a figure standing above a woman, she was knitting clothes for a child. The figure closed and... and then I awoke to find myself here. I did not see what happened next but I doubt I truly needed to."
I think Ratcliff has some kind of animal instinct warning him about Ganer but he doesn't have a clue why ;) Oh and my character is about 3ft 9 inches so fairly tall for a rat. I thought that I would just mention that I have never played a wizard before so I may not be fantastic!!! oh and I am from the UK so if I don't post for a while it's because I am sleeping :P Edit: Just realised Ganer that you have Detect Magic, I will choose a different orison to prepare then if the GM is all right with me changing :)
Trained Knowledge Local:
Ratcliff is dressed in a blue stained robe that hangs down covering his feet, the faint smell of sewerage comes from his body. His fur is bright grey apart from the one darker patch that sits on his twitching nose. He bends down and picks up his backpack and dons it pushing a scroll back inside as he does. He also picks up his quarterstaff and rests his weight on it. Finally you notice a silver ring on his finger with the image of a rat engraved into it. As Ganer speaks some primal fear awakens inside Ratcliff and he steps back, his large leathery tail flicking out from beneath his robe. No I should give him a chance. I know that more should be given than just first impressions. Everyone else introduces themselves before he plucks up the courage to speak again. "Erm...My Father called me Ratcliff." When the Gnome laughs at his joke he does his best to smile.
Ratcliff shoots awake, his fur is matted from his incessant tossing and turning. It takes him a while to register everyone else in the room but when he does his tongue flicks out nervously. He hears the halfling near him talk and cleans his whiskers before squeaking a reply "No but I did have some delicious cheese." He looks about the room some more but in particular studies the four closest to him. Perception Roll:
I won't lie Ratcliff would crumple with one punch ;) However he is able to deal out a canny chunk of damage God's willing. There is always my master plan of Oil mixed with the Spark spell. I think that this group looks great, besides it is always more fun to have to actually work as a team :P Have to agree with Gared can't wait till Monday!!!
