Sol and Ghiv:
"I don't gloat my plans to the next would be hero out to slay me," she said. "I think it's crass and tacky."
(Let me stat her out, darned stupid wikia rules -- if only women's breasts weren't considered sex objects.)
[spoiler=Ducar:]
He took in every detail, writing it all down, asking questions on anything he missed. Apparently, this Night Claw was the one that stole what the library had in the first place. He took everything down and prepared to go meet Salmoneus about the copies for the library.
I am no would be hero, just a would be "Conaisseur" of things of Arcane Magic, and you could grant this request as you are going to dispose of me. At least i would die knowing why it was so hard to find this stolen book
Having found no useful information Thren'ody returns to the designated meeting place.
Annoying? that is a harsh for my last words to hear
Round 1
Solinas scarf in hand turn around to meet straight on the persona calling herself the Night Claw. Revealing the deadly nature of the simple scarf she proceed to attack the woman
Current AC 26
Thanks Night Claw, i be sure to call on that favor you are giving me she says smiling
Ghiv, noticing Solinas engaging in combat, forms a bond with her mentally.
Round 2
Current AC 23
She looks like Psylocke, only wearing something less form fitting, but no less short. A chitin as short as a miniskirt.
Psylocke.
That's a hit.
Roll damage.
(yes, your first attack did hit her. Hopefully you just knock her out. )
As for the other group, Ducar and Thren, three goblins pop out of the alleyways and boulevard, looking for a fight.
initiative
Sorry Sol, one my pantheons is in need of a revamp.
She moves in to slice at your person, but she's not looking to do lethal damage.
Round 2
Solinas will take a 5ft step back and then cast Daze en her (Will DC 16)
You should surrender you know. she says with a smile
Thats enough to defeat her. her body surrenders but her mind stays defiant.
Ghiv can you prevent her from bleeding to death and save her sorry ass? she says turning back toward the bookkeeper
As i was asking before we got interrupted can you recount for my ears how you got to be in possession of that library book?
umm yes Ghiv says as he looks over the fallen form
Ghiv can you prevent her from bleeding to death and save her sorry ass? she says turning back toward the bookkeeper
As i was asking before we got interrupted can you recount for my ears how you got to be in possession of that library book?
He's speechless with fear.
Come down neighbor, right now you are as much as a victim as anyone else, If you cooperate nothing is going to happen to you. After all you purchase i book you din't know was stolen right? So how about that it came to pass and how come you knew about the Night Claw? she ask nicely with a smile
"Err, the Night Claw is my supplier for rare books," he said. "Honestly, I didn't think she stole them. I thought she had them copied."
I believe you, when and how did this partnership started? she sill asks nicely
"Three months ago?" he couldn't remember.
And she came own to you? During that time what other books has she bough to you and to whom if you recall did you sell them too? I ask in case those books were stolen of course
"I don't remember," he said.
so not regular customers i take it ? Do you recall the book you sold then ?
"A copy of Dragonborn Legends and Speakings" he finally recalls. "Can you leave me alone please?"
As soon as i am done asking the questions if you don't mind she says with a smile before continuing So in all of three month since she first approached you, you only had one business transaction?
She turns toward Ghive
Can you tie her up and bring her back to consciousness, we are going to have a little chat with that night clax ?
Yes madame. Ghiv says with all the seriousness he can muster. He places his hands on the side of the unconscious woman and absorbs some of her pain.
She wakes up, with her pain taken a way with an "unnn."
Welcome back she says nicely So i just have a few real simple questions for you. Care to explain to me how you stole those books and who is implicated in that little business operation of yours. You see i am after the potential bigger fish but i'll need proof of course she says smiling nicely Cooperate and make me believe you and there will be something in it for you, as i am here to recover the last 3 you stole from the library she looks as her for the moment, i only have you and nothing bigger to fry
"Even if you use geminite, to cover me completely," she said. "I'm still not going to tell you. I don't have to answer to you."
Have it your way then. she simply says clobbering her back to unconsciousness
Ghiv, can you please get the book keeper's name and testimony about the business transaction he made with that woman. We are heading back. Oh and ask him is we can use his back door to exit quietly
she says wrapping the unconscious woman in her cloak (covering her face) and putting the book(s) in her backpack
Returning to the library you see Ducar squaring off with a trio of goblins.
If Ghiv is with Solinas, he will form a collective with both humans asap.
Solinas will lower her unconscious burden on the ground (move action) and move to help ducar drawing her weapon at the same time
Returning to the meeting place unsuccessful Thren'ody sees the girl Ducar in a fight and draws her spear, rushing towards the conflict.
