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.

Evil GM

I'm going to be gone for a bit. This should give the others a chance to chime in regarding what they observe and do a the northern gate.

Just expanding why Andrea is particularly furious, Shinon essentially promised her that he wouldn't do things like kicking the door again. This makes the third time in her eyes that he has left her(Sewer,Tavern,Bastards)


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

If the Bastards think the Hellknights are raiding, this can help us get away. SInce if they think the Hellknights are about to kick down their door they are more inclined to start running out the back, IMO.


Evil GM

I'm going to be offline a bit.

To be fair, Shinon thought there was no one behind that door. And he had to get in there somehow. If he had heard someone, he would have tried a window. Either way, it would have drawn attention.


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

Andrea is going to box your ears


Evil GM

I saw Total Recall and thought it was very good even better than the orginal. The acting was much better and the visual effects were good.

Better than the original even? Wow. I saw the original, and it was damn good. I'm going to have to make some time to see the new one. Unfortunately, the North American release of Persona 4 Arena has consumed all of my free time for the next...eh, two weeks or so.

At the risk of sounding like a twelve year old, they kept the chick with the three boobs, right?

yep...they did


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

Of course certain things were even more eye-rolling like 'Right through the planet'

Edit: Shinon must be trailing ash then

Actually, Andrea, Shinon's injury was caused by a burn. It's very unlikely that he'd be bleeding from a magical burn, I think.


Evil GM

That is true there is a bit of dramatic effect so the group can stick together rather than spread in the wind.


Male Half-Elf Urban Ranger 3 HP 25/29, Initiative +5, AC 16, Touch 13, FF 13 CMD 16 Fort +4 Ref +6 Will +2

Sadly, all of this could probably have been avoided if I had just taken 10 on that stupid Perception check. Since a Perception check takes no action, taking 10 would probably just be a full-round action, so it wouldn't have lost me too much time on my invisibility.


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

As a character trait, Andrea does have abandonment issues and has a deep scar from her 'rebuke' in the sewers. No game mechanical changes but she does things like have flashbacks and episodes. Hopefully this will all get healed with good care.

...Why is it my job to take care of the cleric in distress?

Just kidding. Shinon also has a few issues going on, most of them dealing with a low self-esteem and a lack of self-worth, which is why he really doesn't care if he dies (leading to a lot of impulsive actions on his part).

Still, Andrea is definitely getting through to him. With her tiny fists of female fury.


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

Just wait until she gets Divine Power

TO THE MOON, SHINON!

Ohoho, you guys have yet to witness the utter basket-case that is Orsino Bessatte. I like our group's sundry traumas, it gives us character.

Get it? Get it?

Bah, you kids with your music...


Evil GM

Orisin a touch of government corruption for your character.

Hmm. Well John has to get through of course. I don't think we ever got introduced to Larko.

Yeah we did. He's the quiet, reflective man who tried to calm Shinon down when Shinon was freaking out the first time he was brought to the temple.


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

Ermolos is Duncan's apprentice who is a smith and fighter who fought with us against the goblins

Fiosa is a neophyte cleric who is Andrea's lover/potential apprentice who will probably help with healing issues.

Janiven is the second in command of the Westcrown Brotherhood. Is also and archer

Larko is the mentained ranger type who got shuttled intot he background .

So one will have to stay behind unless another 25 gp is coughed up

Edit: I have a feeling that everyone will be off the streets long before midnight due to rampaging monsters


Evil GM

There is Gorvio whose uncle owns a stable that the group got a horse from.

There is a Mathalien who was monkish and intended apprentice for Kenji. Kenji had a thing for Janiven though.

Rizzardo or Sclavo were intended for John.

Trying to develop deeper characters. Shinon correct, I came up with an alternative person for his character to bound with.


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

Perhaps put up some NPC info on the campaign Info page so we can track things easier?


Evil GM

Under the campaign info page I put up a few of the NPCs, I'll add to it as I get more time or think about it. The NPC's that I've included from the PCs' background are the one's that have been developed todate.


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

Orsin, Andrea will not chat about what they plan to do tomorrow until they are upstairs in their rooms. :) Less chance of eavesdroppers.

Careful Orsin! She might be a succubus! :)

Just buy her a drink and pretend to drink yours.


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

Well looks like we won't be getting much rest tonight. WTF?

Edit: Urmm...Just how far away are you? Plus we are scattered around the inn and might end up getting pinned in there.

Hmm.

I have something in mind RPwise if we get out of this more or less intact but I will keep mum until that time.

Sorry guys. Duncan felt forced and provided you all in the inn can come help, that's7 tieflings we can drop AWAY from their home base and reinforcements. Plus, they were hurting the guyon the ground. Good chance Duncan saved his life if they give.chase.

Like we could expect any less from the inquisitor. *grins and cracks my knuckles* Oh yeah! Time to pay these jerks back for what their pet hellhound did to my chest! I'm fired up now!

...And on that note, I'll be back later. I have another interview to go to. Should be back before an hour though.

Awww! C'mon guys, you couldn't expect a Inquisitor of VENGEANCE not to help a man being robbed/murdered by the same scum we wanted to fight anyway. Plus we can thin the numbers we have to fight tomorrow;)

Or Shinon and I could have ignored them and had enemies at our back doing who knows what to our unsuspecting allies.

If Duncan hadn't shot him first, Shinon certainly would have. That's a large part of his backstory, the complete inability to ignore someone being wronged in front of him in his own city.


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

Well we don't know that they are Bastard aligned, they could be just 0 level punks. Crime, yes, but too much noize.


Evil GM

Duncan and Shinon you are making a huge assumption and sterotyping your enemy. Not all tieflings are members of the bastards. Were they thugs - Yes, were they membersof the bastards...you don't know.

As Janiven suggested this is a dangerous part of town. The dottari rarely patrol here for a reason and they keep the gate locked for a reason.

I'm proud to stereotype in-character. Shinon hasn't seen many tieflings before so when a group of them show up, he ties them to the organization of tieflings he knows next to nothing about. Regardless of whether these guys are the enemy or not, they're criminals and Shinon doesn't let that fly in front of him.


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

Looks like we might need to run back to the South side after all. I don't want to risk sleeping in an abandoned building considering.

oh, sorry. I know this is west crown and there would be some non-aligned ones but 7 within a street? Those devils really get around.

Nah. What happens in North District stays in North District.

Heh. Yeah.

John is the strong but silent Lawful type who doesn't get as much screen time. (Durkon)

Shinon is the rash, violent, comically incompetent scout/tracker. (Belkar)

Andrea is the lustful girl with deep-seated psychological issues. (Haley)

Duncan is Roy.

And Orsino is the new kid, so we don't know anything about him yet.

Andrea just wants to get home and meet Fiosa's parents
