Faelyn follows Gerald down the hallway

Faelyn follows Gerald down the hallway

Faelyn to your eye Gerard looks pretty crafty dodging in the shadows.

Make a perception check, he went stealthy. Unless he does something to let you know.

Edit: Nevermind the roll, I see Gerard returned to the room to drag the fighter to the hallway.

RD 4:

The group doesn't know what, if anything, devious that Henk is up to.

DMPC Orsin:

He will tap either Lucrezia if she needs additional healing, or follow Faelyn, and tap him with the CMW wand.

CWM: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (8, 5) + 3 = 16

RD4
Daniel full attacks the prone bard. Hoping to finally end him.

2 handed PA, Inspire Courage, Divine Favor, Aid 1d20 + 15 - 3 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 15 - 3 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 32
Damage 1d8 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 2 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 6 + 2 + 2 + 9 = 22

2 handed PA, Inspire Courage, Divine Favor, Aid 1d20 + 10 - 3 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 10 - 3 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 27
Damage 1d8 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 2 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 6 + 2 + 2 + 9 = 24

The bard bats and swats desperately to stave off the Assault.
But Daniels blessings from Iomedae and Calistria, along with the Racial fury burning in his blood prove to much.
He powerfully, brutally knocks aside the feeble defences with his sword, driving home 3 times with his sword and Roaring, HEEENNK!

He turns to look at the portcullis. It was time.

70 damage on a prone target. The bard explodes!

Need body... gear.

Round 4
perception 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (3) + 19 = 22

Lucrezia does a quick look around to see if there is a release for the portculus anywhere on this side of it.

She looked from the other side last time so she was wondering if she missed something.

Andrea

Gerard with the guard you find the following items:

nice longsword
nice dagger
nice breastplate
2 potions
Gold ring
coin purse coining 23 PP, 56 GP, 31 SP, 12 CP

He is wearing your runners shirt.

Detect magic on the gear.

With nothing else to currently attack, Lucrezia moves off to try to find a lever for the portcullis.

"There's gotta be a switch on this side somewhere. If no one is going to show themselves for us to attack, I may as well be searching for the damn thing."

Faelyn each of the items glow with a magical aura. Abjuration auras on the armor and ring, evocation on the weapons, transmutation on the shirt.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (5) + 17 = 22
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (10) + 17 = 27
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (17) + 17 = 34
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (1) + 17 = 18
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (20) + 17 = 37

Faelyn takes time on the gear while Lucrezia looks for a lever.

I assume you will search the bard:

He has headband - glows transmutation aura
Falchion - evocation
chain shirt - abjuration
Silver ring - abjuration
4 potions - (2 transmutations) 1 abjuration
disguise kit
cesti -evocation
coin purse 295 gold, 1 ruby (321 GP)

Shirt is mine, it's dwoemered... Some call it a runner's shirt. I could hold on to the dagger, ring and potions for now, up to you.

Who else have you met in here?

Gerard with the guard you find the following items:

nice longsword
nice dagger
nice breastplate
2 potions
Gold ring
coin purse coining 23 PP, 56 GP, 31 SP, 12 CP

He is wearing your runners shirt.

With Faelyn's checks:

+2 Longsword
+1 dagger
+2 breastplate
2 CSW
+1 ROP
The shirt was Gerard's gear - it's shirt of Quick runner.

Edit:
Feel free to make spellcraft checks on the next batch of goods from the bard.

The fire that was raging in the doorway is now burning itself out and is the size of large campfire now. The smell of death fills the thieves den.

Daniel drag the bards body away to Faelyn.
Your men are dead, yet you remain. It would have been smarter to attack us en masse. We will wait out your magics and come for you. Do you hear me, Henk. Iomedae's Vengeance will take you this day!

Daniel's Aid spell has 4 1/2 minutes left.

He comes upon Faelyn and Gerard.
Take whatever helps. Healing potions are good. We will wait a minute for his spells to expire and find the lever. Then we attack.

Here is the big unsolved gaming mystery...how come bad guys usually have cure potions on them but they rarely use them?

Lucrezia one of you favorite movies is on - Snow White and the Huntsman

Lucrezia one of you favorite movies is on - Snow White and the Huntsman

Awesome, sadly I can't watch it right now because I am cooking dinner and am way too busy to masturbate.

"Ah ha! All right guys, I think I found the lever to lift open that gate. Let me know if you are all ready and I will this thing up."

Back from dinner. OMG! Lucrezia! ;)

Andrea whisper messages to everyone. Hold on, they are all set to unload on us once we get in there. Let us pee on their parade. Lucrezia can get ready to fling open the portcullis while we back up oh about eighty feet or so and send a Sunburst in on them. Once that happens, we run in and end this, what do you think?

Daniel will tap himself with his CLW wand 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
and anyone else who asks.
{Good plan, Gerard and I will stand either side of the hall out of line of Sight, ready to charge.}
He'll quickly retrieve his Wand of Divine Favor.
With it he will allow for Andrea or Faelyn to do any other casting. Standing next to Gerard and casting BLUR on him
You will need this more than I do. Be careful and lastly before giving Lucrezia the nod to open the platform will tap himself and Gerard +2 to hit and damage for 10rounds Stand with Gerard either side of the Portecullis corridor and let Andrea message Lucrezia 'Ready'

OMG, what? She found a lever...

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Gerard takes the ring, dagger and potions from the fighter... Faelyn, you need one or both of these?

CMW: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (2, 7) + 3 = 12

Faelyn make Spellcraft Check on the Bard's gear. If you all don't want to wait, then make the check and I'll disclose later, so we don't forget the rolls.

Assuming everyone is set and agrees how to go in.

Andrea finishes her potion of healing. I am ready. However for safety sake, let us space ourselves slighty(about 5 feet) so if they unleash an area spell not all of us will be harmed. Or perhaps Orsin can silence the door way to hide our approach.

Let me give Faelyn a few minutes to check and make those spellcraft checks.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (14) + 17 = 31
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 20
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (8) + 17 = 25
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (14) + 17 = 31

I assume you will search the bard:

He has headband - glows transmutation aura
Falchion - evocation
chain shirt - abjuration
Silver ring - abjuration
4 potions - (2 transmutations) 1 abjuration
disguise kit
cesti -evocation
coin purse 295 gold, 1 ruby (321 GP)

Headband of mental prowess, +2 Wis, +2 Chr.

Potions need to be checked.

When everyone appears ready, Lucrezia pulls the lever.

With the help of Andrea and with more of his own gear on, Gerard feels bolstered.

Just so we're clear... I've basically been in a cell for the better part of a fortnight. Please call out individuals you've encountered and any skills or training you know they have.

Half-Orc, bard. Flak, warrior. Henk, what the frack is Henk?

Henk is the large man with the war picks that was flicking fire balls at us.

Gerard smiles... Yes Priestess, I know. But, what do we know of him? If I am to break a man down, I need to know how he's built.

Leader of the Red Knives. Seems to be a trained fighter. Works for the Drovange family whoa re the richest noble family in Westcrown. Umm.. That is about all we know besides that they like kidnapping people and nod oubt mangle their corpses.

The rogue nods to Andrea. That is him? The leader of the Red Knives... I'd heard. Didn't expect such an oaf.

Gerard then seeks out the devil-kin. Ziz, we're friends, right? Can you carry that long hammer of Daniel's? I lost my pikeman... pikewoman.

Ziz appears and shakes his head no then disappears.

Only weighs about 10-15 pounds. You don't have to be proficient, just threaten. You got a small whip?

If possible, Faelyn might be able to teleport you and one other into the room when we charge. If say, Lucrezia recieves a greater invisibility and you a bluf before we enter we can pincer attack them and inflict massive damage. Does that sound good?

Only weighs about 10-15 pounds. You don't have to be proficient, just threaten. You got a small whip?

Just let Faelyn make you invisible and leave me be. I am not some stupid fighter. I stay invisible and heal!

If you were a stupid fighter, I wouldn't ask. Have it your way... and for the record, you can't flank alone. Even if invisible.

Before you sling spells... shouldn't we confirm they are in there? Could be wasting our best chance for success... I'll go check.

Wanna make me disappear? I whisper because they might be listening, or even viewing. The last part he whispers to Andrea via her magical communication link.

Not even if I show you my boobs, Ziz?

In the time it has taken for you to figure out your game plan the roaring firm at the doorway has tamed down to smaller campfire, taking up a five foot area.

Not even if I show you my boobs, Ziz?

"Can I rub on them? No...no..no..bad Ziz....no, I stay invisible for my master and heal. That's what Ziz does."

Daniel is beginning to look stressed, they were taking too long.

He WHISPERS to Andrea via her MESSAGE.
{Have Lucrezia open the gate as though we charge, instead have Faelyn shift me and Gerard in there magically. We need to act now!}
