Baldwin the Merciful's - CoT Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master baldwin the merciful

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.

(Our only boat and hence our only sure way to get back to Westcrown...)

There is a land route but it will take longer to get back.

Evil GM

The cave is easier to spot during the daylight hours. You can still see a worn path from cave to the water, there is second one that tracks from your camp to the cave but is follows the cliff wall.

The cave opening itself is less than 20 feet wide and it is somewhat buried into the sand.

There is harsh rancid smell of decay around the mouth of the cave.

Lucrezia and Grimm need to make fort saves as they approach the opening. Anyone else approaching the opening will need to make a fort save.
Human, NPC

Mathalan stays back with Fluer and the dead companion. She does not speak much but she is visibly shaken by the unpleasant reality.

Grimm only goes if Lucretia wants backup. Fort 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Evil GM

The opening to the cave has a swarm of blowflies and flesh flies, there is a rhythmic buzzing sound.

The stench is to much for the hearty dwarf this time as he loses his hard tack and jerky. Rds: 1d6 ⇒ 4

You certainly believe that the zombie creature lived in this cave and brought its meals back inside.

Grimm since you can assist with the stealthy and have a good sword arm, you will be Lucrezia to cover her back given the unfortunate circumstances from last night.

Andrea watches Grimm lose his breakfast. I guess he really is one of now.

Lucrezia allows the dwarf to follow, but instructs him to stay far enough back that she will have time to spot any traps before he hits them.
Evil GM

Lucrezia it's a single cavern roughly 50 feet in diameter. There are an assortment of bones from various types of creatures, both humanoid and aquatic, littering the area long with torn fabrics, glints of metal, leather and other nicknacks.

The blow and flesh flies seem to be congregating around two decaying creatures rough 20 and 30 feet inside the opening. One appears to be the remains of human and the other is a tiger shark. The flesh on each is swarming with maggots, carrion and rove beetles. The humanoid has a tattered tunic and diver's sheath and knife strapped to his left calf. his face is taut, missing its nose and eyes, and has few recognizable features. His tunic looks to be similar in style and quality to the washed up boy.

Survival to look for tracks 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17
Evil GM

Lucrezia you realize the tracks are from the dragon turtle, the tracks from the water to the cave are deeper and a bit wider in places. this make sense since the creature is aquatic and would be dragging its prey back to the cave.
Female Half Elf Urban Ranger / 7 and Wizard / 1 and Arcane Archer / 1 -- Perception: +18 in urban, +21 traps (otherwise +16) -- Init: +4 -- HP:49/59 -- AC: 23(Touch:15 / FF:19) -- F:7, R:11, W:5 +2vs enchants

Any sign of humanoid habitation?
Evil GM

Nothing other than what I described. The cave looks like the dragon turtles nest.

Lucrezia hollers out: "Looks empty now. Come on in if you can handle the smell."

Lucrezia looks about for any interesting discarded weapons or jewelry?
Evil GM

Everyone needs a Fort save inf they are going in the cave. Grimm and Lucrezia have done theirs already.

If you fail the fort RDs: 1d6 ⇒ 6

As you poke around the cave make a perception check.

There are 11 Octagonal gold pieces, with the moon and stars on one side, and a lutestrumming bard on the reverse.

Truk studies his find for a moment before handing it off to Faelyn.

"What do you make of this?"

Grimm spews and coughs and farts.
Gods! Smells worse than diseased nugs arse.

Evil GM

Anyone else searching the cave? If so make perception check.

Truk touches Lucrezia's ring with a light spell and searches the cavern once more, carefully.

Perception John: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23

Everyone can see John starting to dig the sand way from a corner containing the skeleton remains of victim. The remains have a suit of +1 studded leather armor on, and msk dagger. There is black velvet purse inside the armor that holds:

1 - Alexandrite- Transparent - Dark green, 1000GP value

"Thanks Trouble."

Lucrezia puts the ring on. It is pretty.
Evil GM

Truk carefully searches and uncovers a small amount of common copper pieces (37), 23 SP, 11 GP. That pretty much uncovers everything in the room.

Once the loot is gathered up and packed away, Truk climbs into the launch.

"Let's go. We have rowing to do."
Evil GM

Just the studded leather armor comes up magical.
Male Elven Diviner 2 Init:6, Perception:9, AC: 13/13/10, Saves: 1/3/3 (+2 enchantments & immune to sleep), HP:15/15

I do not know about you guys, but I have had about all I can take of camping. I need a hot bath and a fine glass of wine.

Faelyn follows Truk to the boat and prepares for launch.

Gee, I sure am glad we listened to the orc and got all that loot...

Let me have a look at them Truk.

Knowledge History: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19
Evil GM

Regarding the coins:

Appraise DC 15, Know Geography/Noblility DC 15:
Reveals the coins are from Kyonin

Edit:yes the Know history does reveal the information
Male Elven Diviner 2 Init:6, Perception:9, AC: 13/13/10, Saves: 1/3/3 (+2 enchantments & immune to sleep), HP:15/15

These are from Kyonin. Faelyn says matter-of-factly.

They are from my race's homeland.
Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

Appraise: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

I can take these gems and special gold to the Exchange for sale. Gerald arranges sales for special art objects and jewelry.

I am also going to donate 1500 gold to get Ermolos Reincarnated or raised. He deserves another chance after all the fighting and aid he has done for us.
Male Half-Orc Druid 8/Cleric 1 | HP: 116/116 l AC: 26 (30 with buffs, 32 vs the first 3 attacks per round) /T: 12/FF: 24 l Fort: +15*, Ref: +5*, W: +14* l Init: +0 l Per: +15; Low-light vision l Movement: 30 *Hardy: Gain +2 racial bonus on saving throws against poison, spells, and spell-like abilities *Familiar:51/51

Truk looks at the coins again.

"How'd they get out here? The bodies we found weren't elves."
Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

They could have made their way into other hands through trade or buying other things. Some coins are worth more and thus are used in trade. For example. traders often use bars of gold that have the value of 100 coins for large purchases.

Truk studies Andrea for a moment.

"A 'You were right Truk' would be nice...", the orc mumbles under his breath.

"And Duncan didn't deserve one?"
Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

He does indeed. I have every intention of hauling him back to life even if I have to grab him by the beard and drag him away from his divine mead. I have his ashes on my shelf. This will take money though. I am splitting everything I have between trying to get Orn released, Ermolos revived as well as Duncan. I'm going to have to sleep at the Safehouse and beg Fiosa for pocket money at this rate.

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

Tough. Nobody gets to die for good until the Shadowbeasts are kicked back to the abyss. I've cried and moaned through my crisis but am still going.
Evil GM

At my game so this will be quick.

You make it back to the wharf and the merchant does a review of his boat to look for damage, seeing none he nods his approval.
Evil GM

Where is everyone going...In assume John is picking up a few items before his induction.

Truk will likely head back to the safehouse. He would go with Andrea but he's afraid he'd do more harm than good.
