Baldwin the Merciful's - CoT Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master baldwin the merciful

I think there was some miscommunication there. When the dagger slide by the magnetic door - after the switch was pulled down -, it kept on sliding by the door. In other words, the metal in the dagger was not pulled to the magnetic doors. The magnetic doors are off

When the switch is pulled down, Lucrezia realizes the door are off.

Khazrae suggested there would be a turn off switch but nobody looked for it.

Okay, Truk will leave it off.

"Let's get outside."

Right behind you.

Grimm is keen for some killing. It was a new day in a hostile area. Should be plenty of things to kill.
Let's get too it and may our enemies fall, crying and bleeding in a mess o thier own entrails. Praise Angradd.

The double doors open quite easily. You observe that dozens of pillars support a wooden terrace that surrounds a weed-choked inner courtyard. Underneath the terrace, a variety of weapon racks rest against an outer stone wall, protected from the outdoor weather. In the center of the open courtyard sits a raised dais composed of a mysterious blue metal. The strange circular stage is fifty feet across. There are the remains of broken wooden walkway hanging from the southern building that once connected the southern and northern upper floors of the lodge. The dwarf finally getting his nerve from the day before back leads the way with his armored hellknight companion.

GROUNDFLOOR MAP

Grimm and John can make perception checks.

Kicking a small piece of plank that was once part of the above walkway, Lucrezia looks around.

"Well, this is definitely the courtyard that Shadow fell into. Did the pathfinder used to have concerts or staged duels out here or something?"

perception 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (9) + 16 = 25

Strumming their lutes no doubt.

"There's weapon racks over there. Maybe they did combat demonstrations on the stage."

We waiting on those two to make perception checks?

Detect magic focusing on the weapons rack.

ooh, good call for the weapon rack. wonder if anything good got left behind. :)

I do need the two perception checks. I'll DMPC that in few minutes.

There are at many normal weapons of most types on the racks, although
none of the weapons is particularly well made. Most any weapon in the core book. All weapons are secured with padding, and until these pads are removed as a full-round action, the weapons inflict
nonlethal damage only.

John Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13
Grimm Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

It looks like these are just ordinary practice weapons for sparring. No need picking over them unless we really need a replacement.

Are we waiting on John and Grimm to lead us into the courtyard?

Are we waiting on John and Grimm to lead us into the courtyard?

I am here and ready.

Grimm draws his hammer, We're bein' watched.
He casts Divine Favor. Arm yourselves!

He roars in the direction of the noise.

Truk glances over the heads of the party for a look at what the danger was.

"What is it? Are we under attack?"

Everyone can read Grimm's perception check as he would have repeated it. Then decide what you want to do or how you want to react.

Edit:
Looks like Grimm responded when I was posting.

Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21

Faelyn attempts to spot what is making the sounds.

You see two tiny figures climbing on the blue disk but once they are on the disk they are no longer visible.

Truk's not going to start burning spells until he sees or hears something hostile.

The weeds growing in the courtyard average 2 feet in height, and provide concealment for small creatures.

"Uhm, yes, you do have company. Very curious company who are wondering who is out here in the courtyard with us. Since you aren't howling at us or attacking with shadows yet, shall we assume that you aren't going to try to kill us or at least willing to talk first?"

Lucrezia will quietly ask Faelyn: "Those things looked kinda tiny. Are they some kinda imp like Zizzy there?"

You see two tiny figures climbing on the blue disk but once they are on the disk they are no longer visible.

Anything I notice about them allow a knowledge check?

Hey lil s+!~s...how did you like the fire that Lucrezia here sent your way?

You only caught a glimpse but one looked like a tiny pull-toy wooden dragon and the other one looked like a stuffed bear. But it could be you eyes playing tricks on you since they did disappear nearly immediately after getting on the blue disk.

There is no answer to Lucrezia, nor Faelyn's, comments.

Truk watches the exchange happen in confusion.

"What are they? Are they dangerous?"

Grimm shouts again, No funny business or I'll smash ye!
Everything we seen has tried to kill us so far!

Your funny fatso and you are too ugly...hehehehe the tiny voice trails off.

Maybe these guys aren't so bad. Hah! Ziz laughs at the dwarf.

Orcy is smelly...stinky orcy...oink oink oinki orcy, oinki orcy, oinci orcy." The second woody voice sings.

LIARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR, YOU ARE THIEVES YOU STOLE FROM THE HORSEY....LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE!"

Oh comon, please don't be mean to him. He is so big and loveable.

diplomacy: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

Faelyn keeps an eye on the surroundings in case they are holding our attention while someone else sneaks up.

He casts ghost sound to make a dog growl behind the two voices.

"Are they talking about Trouble?"

"Hey you little buggers, I happen to like how the half-orc smells!"

At least he isn't a cute little furry teddy bear!

"Well, furry teddy bears aren't too bad. I did have one when I was little. It was pink."

I'm going to eat yoru flying rat pointy ears. One voice hisses at Faelyn.

---
"Oooo Fluff, the cuddly one sez she'll put horsey back together."

Truk laughs and shakes his head.

"That's what you were worried about?" he asks while pointing into the empty air of the courtyard. "It sounds like children."

The big orc leans over and taps on Orsins's shoulder.

"Why don't you try showing them that Pathfinder trinket of yours. It's gotta give you some right to be here or something that they'll understand."

Andrea nudges the others. That is right! We'll put him back together, we can't wear horsey armor anyways! Tnen maybe we can tell stories? Plus singing, This fellow loves to sing. A great tale about the adventurers who want to defeat the Lord of Shadows Ilnerik and have come here to meet the wise Bisby.

So do we somewhat see them or not at all?

Truk laughs and shakes his head.

They are not visible to anyone.
