"Guys, I've done some... research on the Blot. Someone in the town knows what caused it and what the key is to removing it, perhaps even where this key is. The key to removing the blot, however, is not in town. The worst part is that the blot itself was made by someone intentionally. I can't say much more, as my source didn't have much more information. Does this help in any way?" To me, the more important question would be whether or not the blot is harmful or intended to be as such. And if it is harmful, who exactly is responsible for it's creation, because they surely must be stopped if so.
Chuckling at the non-lethal antics of this strange occurance, Tippello makes his way outside with Tsadok. Perhaps it's some kind of side effect of the blot sitting there in the sky, that's got so many of the citys wizards so intrigued. Either way it doesn't seem as though we have much choice but to just deal with it as best we can till we can find out more. Tippy shrugs and heads back inside to try and help return things to normal.
Hmm, yes I was pretty sure this Zincher character probably wouldn't give up after the first attempt. He seems to have a personal vendetta against our friend Saul here. Turns to look speculatively at Saul To Saul: Hopefully you've turned over a new leaf and have given up on the bad things you've accomplished in your past. If so, we're here to help you and stand by you in your time of need. Noticing Tsadok's bandage, Tippy moves over to him. To Tsadok: It seems you've hurt yourself my friend. Would you like me to take a look at it?
GM Shisumo:
The drink was apparently stronger than it looked - a few minuts after downing it, Tippello experiences a wave of dizziness, but it quickly passes. The woman leans toward him, studying him intently, before asking, "Are you all right?" At Tippy's nod, she sits back up, chewing her lip. After a brief pause, though, she seems to come to a decision. "Listen," she says, "I don't know what a Desnan's oaths are like, but I know how Calistria feels about this, so what the hell. I was wondering if you'd like to come upstairs with me. I work here, so I've got a room. No charge, either; I'd just like a man who'll look at me like a woman for once and not like his neighbor's youngest daughter." Beyond her juvenile clothing, she is actually quite attractive, even without much makeup and her hair in a pair of pigtails.
Tippy looks thoughtful for a moment as he looks intently at the other halfling.
GM Shisumo:
Sense Motive check edit: hmm, kinda low, ahh well I plan on improving it next level. By the way, what xp progression are we using? To halfling: Well hopefully he's turned over a new leaf. Regardless, I plan on keeping an eye on him in case he hasn't. Perhaps some of mine and my friends good influence will rub off on him since we're business partners now.
"How powerful is that sort of magic, Tippello? I want to know the general power level of those that are tormenting us if we can. A general range would be nice if you could." I'm not entirely sure, more advanced than anything I can do for certain. And I'm quite sure it's not somethng Desna could grant me, it isn't divine in nature. Perhaps Lyre could tell you more.
DM Shisumo:
For the checks to help the profitability, I'd prefer to take two shifts as a greeter and pit boss. If that's not possible I'll take one shift as security on a catwalk and one shift as a greeter and pit boss. I'll be using "Bit of Luck" on those two rolls, as well as Saul's roll for the week. So on that day of each week I will have already allocated 3 uses for that purpose. If you could remind me of that if for some reason we have other encounters on the same day. Pit boss/greeter double shift
or Catwalk security and Pit boss/greeter
Also since two people (Mario and Daelin) declined Zincher's tip, I'll put that towards the casino's profits with another 42gp of my own money for a total of 100gp to help the Gold Goblins profitability the first week. Edit: Looks like that should net a +4 to Saul's check the first week.
With the cook directly in front of you, you can dedicate a move action to a diagnosis before you actually take your standard action - I'm going to rule that that's what you did with that Heal check, so you can decide how you want to proceed. Martha is badly poisoned; she has lost half her Constitution, and still faces three more poison checks (DC 17). She has also taken 7 hp worth of damage from the snake's bite. Currently she is at -6, with a maximum hp of 1. Attempting to help her resist the poison or providing first aid (or spellcasting, for that matter) are all standard actions, so it's up to you what you want to do here.
Tippy looks worried as he tends to the venomous gash in Martha's leg, attempting to drain the poison. Come on Martha, shake it off!
Hearing Lyre's admonishment, Tippy bows and profers the stage to her. By all means, go ahead. But keep in mind, my spells can only heal the living. I'd be saddened if Martha was fatally injured by our tardiness. EDIT:
To GM:
I've updated my spells prayed for on my character sheet to reflect my needs now that I have a permanent residence for the time being.
I believe everyone has agreed to keep the wand and bracers. The wand will go to Lyre (unless she doesn't want it) and the bracers can go to either Lyre or Tsadok (whichever of them wants it and can get good use of it). The rest will be sold, including the spellbook. This leaves a total of 392 gp and 32 sp and 5 cp, plus the random 6d6 gp. (). That makes for a grand total of 411 gp, 32 sp, and 5 cp. Split 6 ways (Antianel, Tsadok, Lyre, Mario, Tippy, and Ormizd) comes out to 68gp, 10sp, and 4cp each (with a single cp left over, which if no one objects I'll pass off to a street urchin. (I included Ormizd because he was involved in that fight, I didn't include Daelin because she was not, although if anyone objects I can redo the math.) To DM:
Tippy will be reinvesting 50gp of his share back into the casino for a bonus on Saul's roll at the end of the first week. EDIT: I forgot about the scroll, I vote to leave that with Lyre in case we may need it later for something.
Takes the proferred gold with a thoughtful frown. Thanks good sir, you may return to your duties. I'm sure Mr. Zincher didn't mean any harm in his visit.
Hearing the cry for help about a "bloody great big snake", Tippy pulls his starknife from it's hiding spot beneath his cloak and runs for the kitchen.
Initiative roll
Tippy makes his way back down to the floor and returns to his normal duties about the casino. At some point he will casually make his way over to Clegg to try and engage him in a friendly conversation in an attempt to find out why he's here. To Clegg: Good evening sir, I hope you find our establishment to your liking. I am Tippello Tabinero, a part owner of the Gold Goblin. If my memory serves, you're an individual of some influence here in Riddleport. It's nice to know that such important persons such as yourself feel at home here. If there's anything I can help you with, please feel free to make use of my skills.
Tippy will claim a bottom bunk in our suite, and make himself at home. Then he'll wander down to the shrine Saul mentioned and do what he can to spruce it up if necesary.
Tippy continues to greet customers and whateverelse a pit boss does, just barely oblivious to whatever may or may not be happening.
My guess would be that the wand and scroll will be arcane and only easily useable by Lyre. The bracers (which I assume are probably bracers of armor if magical) would be most useful to either Lyre or Tsadok. Since Lyre I believe is a sorcerer the spellbook won't be of much use to her, it can probably be sold. As for the rest I'd say anyone take what they might need and cash in the rest to split amongst the party. Sadly, I don't think either of us casters took spellcraft at 1st level so I don't think we can reliably identify the possible magic items (bracers and wand). But I think it would be wise to hang onto them until we can.
GM:
Being generally cautious, as well as prepared, Tippy will cast Detect Poison as unobtrusively as possible. DC 20 Wisdom check to determine type if it is poisoned . Stealth check to try and cast it unnoticed . If someone does notice and asks then I will reply with"I have found in my many travels over the years that it pays to be cautious when dealing with strangers I've just met." Humming to himself under his breath (the sound seems akin to what a butterfly might sound like if it could sing) and swirling the wine around in his glass, Tippy seems lost in his own thoughts for a moment. "Hmm, what (seems mildly startled), oh yes. My name is Tippello Tabinero, you good folks may call me Tippy if you like, most of my friends do. I am a follower of Desna, a cleric in fact. It's my passion to travel, meet new people, and test my luck and skill with whatever life decides to put on my path." "Pleased to meet you Mr. Vancaskerkin."
