This is Council of Thieves AP. Westcrown, City of Twilight, once was the center of Aroden's faith, but now it symbolizes despair. By day, the city remains a vibrant center of trade; but, by night only those with a death wish venture out.

This creature is not evil, it is not summoned, nor is it an outsider, so don't factor those type of buffs into the AC or attacks.

Hate to go down the dark path... but, "holding her position" made me stray/wander. And, Gerard has to be 10' away. LOL.


Evil GM

I'm calling it an evening, chat tomorrow.

So Gerard and Lucrezia are up.

Where the heck are Henk and his goon? We need to keep an eye on our backs. Unless the bugged out through a secret door, they are probably still here.


Male Human Rogue 13 | 97/97 | AC 26/19/19 | F 8/R 16/W 7 | Init +7 | Perc +18/+22

Faelyn is up, he goes before Andrea. Or did I miss his action?!


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

Yea. Don't know what he will do.

My vote is we try to draw the minotaur thingy outa the room and to us. For all we know there are invisible people hiding in there waiting to strike at us as we enter.

And now, the paranoid woman goes to check on the brownies that she is baking...


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

Good idea, or if we have anything that can do it, toss an AoE effect in there.


Male Human Rogue 13 | 97/97 | AC 26/19/19 | F 8/R 16/W 7 | Init +7 | Perc +18/+22

Really sorry, was waiting to post in INIT order. Idiot!


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

No need to post in Init order all the time. Things can change of course so posting a possible action is allowable. Baldwin will tell you when the situation changes.

Ditto! Post up...


Evil GM

As a heads up, the next three days are nuts for me work takes me out of town. I'll be able to get a few posts up in the morning than MAYBE in the evening assuming I have internet connection. Friday will be a complete loss.


Male Human Rogue 13 | 97/97 | AC 26/19/19 | F 8/R 16/W 7 | Init +7 | Perc +18/+22

I meant trip... as in, rope across threshold and lift! Trap, really. Reflex Save... or topple. Free speech action, couldn't go into details.


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

Anyone play Fallout:New Vegas and the Honest Hearts? I'm thinking it is time to go all Joshua Graham on the CoT and their cronies. The link here leads to a youtube video where you talk to him, particulary the quote at 1:29 which Andrea will edit into something regarding Westcrown and needing to do a purge.
This means war

So there is no confusion

Weapon master domain power:

At 8th level, as a swift action, you gain the use of one combat feat for a number of rounds per day equal to your cleric level. These rounds do not need to be consecutive and you can change the feat chosen each time you use this ability. You must meet the prerequisites to use this feat.

Daniel is considered a 5th level cleric so he has 5/rds a day. Including his bard trip and his lunge, tripping the minotaur he has used 3.

Core Rulebook- Tripping:

You can attempt to trip your opponent in place of a melee attack. You can only trip an opponent who is no more than one size category larger than you. If you do not have the Improved Trip feat, or a similar ability, initiating a trip provokes an attack of opportunity from the target of your maneuver.

Daniel started 5feet away and used Weapon master to learn Improved Trip.
He 5ft stepped adjacent (which doesn't provoke) and Full Attacked, using his first attack to trip.

That is funny we were doing the same thing at the same time. I posted the same items in game thread.

Gerard with all the gear captured I figured you should have enough to replace those few items that Henk managed to ferret away before he fled.


Male Human Rogue 13 | 97/97 | AC 26/19/19 | F 8/R 16/W 7 | Init +7 | Perc +18/+22

The overall value was pretty insignificant. The group had large haul from this adventure, it was one of those catch-up in party wealth side tracks.

As an FYI, we sort of skipped the meat of the book 4 and this side track pretty much replaced that book. I've incorporated a few key points and information into this scene. That burning guardian was from the book 4, I just moved it over to sewer.


Evil GM

Andrea that headband of mental prowess was intended for you. So everyone, excluding Faelyn and Gerard, had an item to boost at least one ability stat. I think Andrea was using a belt of constitution at least temporarily. I'm a bit uncomfortable from a balance of power/fairness POV to have one character get three ability stat boosts. Perhaps that can go to Gerard?

Andrea do your normal selling of goods and division of wealth cut Faelyn into the division for now. Not sure what is going to happen with Faelyn, he'll stay on the sidelines for bit.

Gerard I don't have the Magick-mart type shops, so we roleplay obtaining and ordering special gear. Most things are available but sometimes it takes a few days or weeks to get.

You all can level up to 9th.


Evil GM

We can have a little RP time then we can get into book 5 of COT, most of the plots loose ends have been tied up (excluding Alphonse the brothel owner) and everything circles back towards the main through plot. Don't fret Henk will reemerge soon enough.

Gerard, what I usually do is divvy up the coin and sell the gems(Putting them into the coin pile) then divvy the coin up. People can look over the quipment and say what they are interested in. I then sell what is unclaimed.

Everybody should strongly consider keeping one of the +2 weapons. We lose 1/2 value in the selling and that's alot of coin to lose in the trade.

I return my +2 sword I borrowed to the pile (I'll endeavor to pay to have my own sword upgraded)

The +2 Cesti is a AWESOME backup weapon that allows one to threaten and is always out and does not interfere with using other weapons. I am interested but someone should definitely take it. ANDREA OR LUCREZIA. Gerard has quickdraw so doesn't need it.

The +2 handaxe is throwable. Can't remember if Gerard is proficient. ..


Evil GM

Just checking in, I should be on later tonight.

Daniel I understand your concern about losing cash on the sale of magical items but if an item is not useful, folks should consider selling since that is how I tend to give cash out.


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

I'll be able to give my full attention to leveling up and sorting treasure later tonight. I'll just roll my Holy Vindicator HP.

HP: 1d10 ⇒ 9 +2=11 moar HP!

Quests to do.

1.Scatter Red Knives and Rescue Sascar- DONE!
2.Help arrange Orsin's farewell opera
3.Destroy Ilnerik and end shadowcurse
4.Destroy the Council of Thieves
5.Who is the Mother of Flies person?


Male Human Rogue 13 | 97/97 | AC 26/19/19 | F 8/R 16/W 7 | Init +7 | Perc +18/+22

What do we do for HP, just roll as is? I used half+1 for char gen.


Evil GM

HP's are rolled for, we reroll 1's. I like the the randomness of the dice. Your half +1 is fine for creation but roll from this point forward.


Evil GM

Re: Andrea's list of to do's -

If Orsin has a block of time he thinks he will be online, I'm happy to do the farewell Opera. #3-5 is coming up books 5 and 6.

Andrea you pretty much figured that the COT or the usurpers/bandits are responsible for the bar/brewery owner disappearing.


Male Human Rogue 13 | 97/97 | AC 26/19/19 | F 8/R 16/W 7 | Init +7 | Perc +18/+22

Level 9 Rogue: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Out to diner back later.

Updated most stuff including skills.

Still need to pick
1Mercy- I am thinking nauseated or staggered
1Feat- GM call on what's allowed.
My preferred options are: MOONLIGHT STALKER. +2 to hit and damage when I have concealment. Hence my learning BLUR.
Powerful but requires me to prebuff.
Or
Cornugan Smash- Auto Intimidate a foe I hit with power Attack.
Applying SHAKEN. If I can get Talbard to craft me/source a CRUEL enchant on my weapon it would add SICKENED as well.
The net effect is to protect my allies (via lowering enemy to hit)
Or
Bullying Blow. If Cornugon Smash seems overpowered. Then this may be a better alternative. Net effect is the same. Free Intimidate check when I hit but unlike Cornugon it is a standard action to use a Bullying Blow (so no full attacking with it, and the attack is at -2 penalty.

I would like to know if any of these are allowed. Currently I meet all thier preqs and they are COMBAT feats so could be used with WEAPON MASTER domain power. I have avoided thier use so far to wait for an appropriate time to check for DM approval.

Moonlight Stalker is pretty self explanatory. A 3 feat chain (Blindfight, Combat Exp, Stalker) for +2 hit and damage when concealed.

Less powerful than Wpn Fcs, Wpn spec, gtr weapon spec, since they are always on.

The other 2 feats are just both ways to put my High Intimidate into play by layering a debuff on a single target.

ActiveSpells:

Further- If MOONLIGHT STALKER is outright banned.
I would ask to retcon my learning of BLUR (from my UM feat, Unsanctioned Knowledge- to INSTRUMENT OF AGONY) since blur was specifically for the feat.


Male Human Rogue 13 | 97/97 | AC 26/19/19 | F 8/R 16/W 7 | Init +7 | Perc +18/+22

Almost done, just need feat.

I'm gonna start prepping KNIGHTS CHALLENGE instead of Challenge Evil.

It will make foes Waste an action to close with me.
It also lets us draw foes into our ground :)

My other spell will probably be KEEP WATCH considering the number of times we have been attacked while sleeping.
This will let DANIEL stand guard all night while others sleep.


Male Human Rogue 13 | 97/97 | AC 26/19/19 | F 8/R 16/W 7 | Init +7 | Perc +18/+22

A ring of sustenance, or stone of alarm?

Shopping list.

I would like to be a STEALTHY paladin.
Blasphemy I know.

What is affordable gearwise to make that possible.

Mostly cause stealth only works if a few party members gear toward it.

Gerard and Lucrezia are great at it.
But Daniel is 'Sir Clanks Alot' in his full plate.
I am thinking MITHRAL Fullplate or the CREEPING enchantment.
Creeping enchant means the AC penalty for fullplate does not apply to stealth checks.
Buying Mithral Fullplate would cost 9000 flat and could be enchanted later at lower cost (still carrying a -3 Armor Check)

I don't think 10000 is worth it for mithral

My current fullplate could be enchanted to +2 Creeping Fullplate for 8000gp so I'll save for that.
Then I'll have no armor check to stealth. Yay!

Much cheaper to prep Keep Watch and buy a 1st level pearl of power.

My big problem is how long it takes to don fullplate.

Keep Watch negates the need for sleep for me and you guys get to rest with A fully armored pally watching over you. :)
Plus I have Acute Darkvision so can see better than all of you.
