I am just a bit flabbergasted. I too try hard to compose myself. "So, where in west crown you from, these streets? Or one of other areas. Dis prace so big, I not seen it aru yet."

"Well I grew up in Westcrown but my parents passed when I was young. I've done many odd jobs including being a porter until I was recently fired. Although I did my job quickly and efficently, my empoyer believed I was lazy since I would take breaks to meditiate, but really I had already completed my employer's tasks prior to my meditiation. This group must be my destiny because I meet Janiven and Arael that very day that I was fired. She becomes crimson again when she sees that Knji was actually watching her.


The attractive halfing sits next to Andea, gently touching Andrea's hand with her finger tips, "By Pharasma's will you have seen much death today. More than what should be been seen in one lifetime, but these hands will seek out and find it much more frequently as they are guidled by the God of Death herself.

She continues to touch your left hand as she sips on a goblet of thick red coppery merlot. Her brown eyes, look at you seriously, "Death itself is not evil, do not get lost thinking that it is, remember you serve as one of the few vassel that death speaks through"brushing your soft hand over her high cheekbones.

"We have much in common was we both serve death."

Don't worry Shinon. Andrea will get good and liquered up and keep you company. Perhaps with a halfling for a 2- 1/2 some. ;)
I spat my drink out at this. Ho man, that was hilarious.

Now we are getting to the gritty...LOL

Wasn't sure how to tackle the current scenario. Way to throw Kenji for a loop. Wonder what will become of this new crew. Suddenly I feel like I'm playing a bioware game. Well done o'chap. I will enjoy this.

Hey if you ever decide to start a Jade Regent AP let me know. Me personally, I've been wanting to play through that AP since it came out.

I don't have that AP, i've tried to join a game and have fantastic character written for Jade.

just trying to keep everyone entertained.


don't worry Janiven will talk tomorrow. I just need to think a bit about it. What the AP states and how I rp are different. I'm just tired now. i, also, wanted you all to talk to others and to each other.

I will post tomorrow.


When Andrea speaks of night markets all is quiet.... deathly . The sound of silverware hitting the table... all eyes on Andrea, how do you think we can have night markets? We were only looking at small steps...but the night beast...gasps."


Kenji Masada wrote:
I shift uncomfortably unsure as to how to handle the sudden attention. Similar to when Janiven was flirting with me when this whole fiasco began. Seeing as she has not said anything of yet, I try my hand at being....social. "So um, I am Kenji, is preasure to meet you. You name Matharen right? So you been wit dis group rong?" I clearly am trying hard to think about each phrase I say so as not to offend.

She giggles and blushes...'you can talk to me all you want."

She tries unsuccessfully to compose herself, as she clearly is smitten with the accent.


Fiosa walks over and plops down next to Andrea, "Some like crud we are in now...'eh? I mean, I would die for Arael and Janiven, just seems like without Arael we will be lost...he um...needs to be rescued soon. Arael has vision."


I will rework the "potential cleric" tomorrow to fit with you. for now she is Fiosa

Ha! Take that 7 cha!

Stories of deeds can offset a 7 Cha. You are dealing with a respective friendly group. Especially when there is hero worshipping.


Kenji Masada wrote:

I notice Mathalen looking at me. I wave and smile a bit awkwardly as I am not entirely sure how to take her expression. Kenji is socially challenge remember. I find myself unable to concentrate with the attention now and my eyes keep wandering to her. Wondering mostly what the flush was about.

When the question arises about me fighting knights and the comment about weapons, who is asking BTW I respond. "Body is weapon and must be tempered rike any sword to be effect. Mind is as good as piece of armor. Best kind of defense in fight is not getting hit."

Nobody in particular is asking it is a host of questions being rattled off., they obviously heard part of the story for Morosino, while you were bathing.

Mathalen gets up and moves closer sitting near you.


Everyone is mesmerized by the dwarf. One or two whacks means nothing...they see a hero a leader in their vision.


The boy takes out both his Ax and dagger handing each hilt to you. "me mark is on each,proudly as he presents his best work to you.(Msw quality)


Andrea...I'm having a tough time having the NPC get friendly with you and your church. they wrote a LG cleric NPC, so i have to adjust that for you...sorry. I need to read about Sarenrea and Shelyn tomorrow.


John, Sclavo catches you as you finishes your bath. He is sitting outside your room waiting..."sir, I was wondering if we could talk," blushing as he speaks."sir, I'm a lawful man, but I've seen the law do unlawful acts. I mean, not all the Dottari, or the Rack, but members of those groups. How do you justify action against those blanketed by the "law " he is obviously confused.


The conversation is about the exploits of the newest heroes (at least to their eyes), "Mr. duncan did you really slice a goblin in half? how is that done. Whoa, did John really march out front and hold off 3 hellknights? Kenji you held off three hellknight witt you fists...you have a weapon?" Can you teach me how to shoot a bow, Shinon? Andrea the power of god flows into your fingers?

Googling over the new gear on the table. the trainees look at their heroes....


Kenji it is pretty obvious that the wiry girl Mathalen is looking towards you from across the room. As her eyes meet yours, she flushes and dips her head.


Larko takes the hand offered, I believe in individual freedom, without the intrusion of government in our lives. But i believe in the rightful law without favoritism and with goodness at its core. We do not have that here in this city...Shinon. looking in Shinon's eyes. Are you here to lead or sulk, he trembles.


A young bulking man sits in the corner, "Mister Duncan, may I ask a question. I'm Ermolos, I understand your pound iron, i ...um try to do so meself. Me master spends lots of time in the drink, I'm wonderin' if ye have time to teach me a few finer points.' his eyes are a bit wide and he tosses one of the long sword on the table that the group gather...commenting, it was typical quality.

He is wearing a really nice looking hand ax and dagger.


Shinon wrote:
Shinon is not responsive. He appears to not have heard the man speak or have even noticed his approach. He continues to clutch his head in his hands and ramble to himself in soft whispers. His eyes are bloodshot and his body is twitching violently.

Larko lets Shinon's emotions flow, not interrupting or causing him to be unsettled. "Battle must be terrible, not the glory those less knowing speak about. To kill is not suppose to be pleasure but there is so much evil around this city and the selective enforcement of the "LAW' is disgusting.


To shinon:

Larko a quiet but polite young man comes over and slides down near you. He is muscular, a human, he nods at you. Not speaking then finally mustering a,"I'm Larko...work the docks for years, before that my parents an I lived east of the westcrown as farmers and hunters, until the purge by the Rack happened....then, I went to the docks," he is silent after that.

Andrea- don't worry about your encumberence. I'll carry your stuff. Dwarves aren't slowed by weight ;)
Yay! my loyal Handy haversack!

That is funny....He only requires a little touchy freely healing magic.


Of course Andrea would not understand the type of potions. exactly the opposite of what you think.

Duncan they are a light blue an sweet taste, cure light with the spellcraft.


Andrea as you look over the trinkets you realize that:

chap book and box:
you realize the book is facts and figures type book worth 10GP, th box is an nice ornate box with figures of fertility on it, value 25 GP

The perception check:

Spoiler:
pretty blue liquid


10 gp per iron bar.

I thought I read John laying claim.


In the game play thread everyone can make two appraise checks:

Chap book and box

Ramhead copper coins and pretty shell

Check with Shinon on the signet rings.

The iron trade bars were identified and valued. Was it Duncan maybe?

Perception check on the 8 magical potions.

There were two msw longsword total, I think John claimed the other one.


Kenji no worry about the long posts. They read well and you break paragraphs for easy reading.


I won't be on tonight.


XP total recap for anyone who may have missed the postings:

400 - Tavern events (listed on pg 2 of gameplay thread)
120 - Sewer goblin Ambush (pg 4)
230 - goblin lair (pg 7)
450 - Armiger battle at sewer Junction (pg 10)
400 - ruffian negotiation (pg 11)
400 - sewer gauntlet story line completion (pg 11)

2000 Total


John, Duncan and others that seems like a great role playing discussions when you are in the safehouse. Introduce yourselves, chat about the sewers, what the screaming was about who was henk Bash and his cohorts, and so forth.


Kenji Masada wrote:

wow so we get a straight up 2000 added to what we already have?

Rolling HP: 1d8
*Cough* Okay again:1d8 Much better

Noooooooo, I just totaled the XP for you. Everyone has 2000 total XP.


Duncan and make a Knowledge Dungeoneering, if you don't have that then straight Knowledge check to see how much he can remember.


Shinon- needed items refers to makign sure you Init., saves, AC are up todated on yourlevel/class line so it appears next to your avatar's profile name.

Duncan, you get your spells back after a rest. I'm not making you all train or study to advance to the next level.

@Group - roll hitpoints, 1's get rerolled.


Everyone has 2000 XP now so you can level up. Update the character sheets and post the needed items on the Avatar line for me. Taht helps out when I'm looking at Initaitive and ACs.


You all did a great job with this group of ruffians, perhaps a potiential ally or reoccurring villian, time will tell. This would have been a tough battle for everyone, there were only three visble members there, but Henk is built for battle.

Your group would be led to an area about 3 blocks North of the safehouse.

Here is the City Map: City Map You are let out just North of the Shrine of Aroden (Safe House) and it is 15 minutes before dusk and the curfew.

XP for Ruffian encounter and running the sewer gauntlet

XP:
400 Each for the Ruffians and 400 each for Running the Sewer Gauntlet.


yep..one of the changes in pathfider. Basically just dipping your finger in to get taste and smell. No it does not trigger. Its on the chart under the perception skill. They make the senses a bit more in tuned.


perception taste 15+ potions CL works. CRB 102.


Everyone able to see the picture of the room?

Can I assume you are going to follow Cobb without any combat? or without trying to investigate the room? If so, then I will issue the XP and we can move you ut of the sewer.

Shinon there is nothing noble about this group.


I think eveyone is posting fine and certainly more than the 3-5, I requested during the recruitment. I simply don't want the game to tamper off because of inactivity. Everyone has RL, so no worries about being glued to the computer.

Everyone's character's personality is emerging. I think it's good that you were all recruited, but not really able to get each other's names when thrown into a life or death escape. Once the sewer adventure is over, there will be time to introduce and talk amonst yourself and more of the overall recruitment process will become evident.

I will make sure that I add in a bit more RP scenarios, then what is in the AP.


Shinon:
You can see that the room you are looking into is very large at least 30 ft wide at points, wider than what you can rightfully perceive. You think there are multiple tunnels and cesspit in this area. Could be plenty of area for an ambush.


Andrea1 wrote:
I am not feeling overwhelmed by the combat. I feel confident of the group to get us through but was taking this response from what I believe is a Rping encounter. Andrea is more concerned about getting skewered by the hellknights than what soemone else is doing down in the sewers. If the rest of the group rolls into combat I'll throw in, but please do not taunt grumpy Pit Fiend.

Actually my request isn't really about this encounter , its more from a general gaming point of view.

I'm partial to Chain Devils at these early level rather than Pit Fiends. Laughing


Shinon, are you running to get to him? a double move action will not get you there, you will be 15 feet shot. He is 60 feet from John, 65 feet from Duncan, 70 feet from Andrea, 75 feet from Shinon, 80 feet from the boy, 85 ft from Janiven, 90 ft from Kenji. YOu won't be able to hit him this round.


As a side note, the sewer adventure of this AP was written with several skirmishes and combat encounters. Are there too many combat encounters for the gourp right now? I'm trying to gauge what you all want. At my gaming table we role play quiet a bit typically 65-35. It looks like there are some role playing opportunities written in, I will add to those if you want after you get to he surface.


Initative rolls:

henk Bash 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Cobb1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Clem1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
