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.

Daniel you barely tripped the creature.

How is it your doing Imp Trip as swift action and not a standard action?

Reflex vs Fire 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

I used my WEAPON MASTER domain power to LEARN Improved Trip as a swift action. Then I full attacked making the Trip attempt with my first iterative. Trip, Disarm and Sunder can all be used as iteratives. Only Bullrush and Overrun use a standard. Then I used my second iterative to hit him on the ground. I did screw up though because I forgot to roll to hit for the second attack and just rolled damage. I am moving my gym gear to a friend's house and forgot in the rush.

Edit: I am cool if yoy just want to say the second attack missed.
But here is a roll if you will allow it
1d20 + 10 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 2 + 2 = 16
Vs prone minotaur.


Evil GM

Trip:

Trip

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.

Swift Action:

A swift action consumes a very small amount of time, but represents a larger expenditure of effort and energy than a free action. You can perform only a single swift action per turn.

I've cut and pasted trip from the PFSRD, it states that you can attempt to trip in place of a melee attack. I've also cut and pasted Swift Action.

I'm not sure your weapon mater is applied correctly you get the use of feat, not an extra attack. Your Weapon Master (Su): 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.

Swift action - choose Imp Trip. Melee action - trip.

Edit: I read it initially as Swift action trip, attack 1, attack 2. I believe I misread what you wrote.

Sorry for the confusion. I could have written my description better.

I think DanielLucrezia and perhaps Orsin have the minotaur wrapped up since we can't all cram in there.


Evil GM

The minotaur will slam the paladin with his big fiery meaty fists from the prone position,

slam 1: 1d20 + 22 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 22 - 4 = 27;damage: 2d6 + 13 ⇒ (6, 4) + 13 = 23

slam 2: 1d20 + 22 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 22 - 4 = 27;damage: 2d6 + 13 ⇒ (1, 4) + 13 = 18
plus fire Dc 15 half damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Remember this thing is not evil so you don't benefit from protection from evil.

Orsin still has his RD 2 action. I assume Gerard and Andrea didn't do anything with the cramped quarters.

Gerard manages to avoid the AOO.

By the time Daniel strikes again the creature is no longer moving as it lays partially in and partially out of the fireplace.

Andrea borrows Orsin's wand of CMW and taps Daniel and Lucrezia who got breathed on by the crezture.

Are there any other doors in the room? Henk must have fled.

Edit: Andrea helps examine the room the the minotaur is in.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17

Perhaps they left behind important papers.


Evil GM

You find a secret door in the room.

Map

Gerard you do see several of your items near the desk:

You handy haversack - it's empty
Your blinkback belt
Your quickchange cloak

You don't see any of your other items, perhaps they are with Henk.

There are several document on the the desk and floor, some loose coin totally 123 gp is scattered, this room looks like it was quickly riffled through as someone was moving through it.


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

Andrea quickly puts the documents into a haversack for later.

Lucrezia, we found a door for you to check out. I guess that is where Henk rabbited through.


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

Wasting no time, Gerard busies himself getting reacquainted with his gear. Kissing each of the magical blades he's been using... he slides them precisely yet firmly into his re-acquired belt.

Donning the cloak, he seems a new man. I need a shave.

Thanks again for everything you've done. I am in your debt.

Daniel, not wanting to smell charred flesh, drags whatever part of the creature from the fire.

The creature remains? Then it was not summoned? How would Henk control such a beast, given opportunity such a thing could crush his skull with ease. His spellcaster must have some talent.

Daniel taps himself with his own wand twice and again, checks if others need aid.

Evil GM

Faelyn would comment that he has heard of magical bounding or links between a creation and it's creator, but this really would be question for Talbard the Gray.

Henk and his caster are nowhere to be found. They managed to escape.

There are several parchments in the room that are interesting when you get a chance to examine them. One thing is abundantly clear that the Council of Thieves does in-fact exist and it is thriving in the city.

Note 1:

It's a letter of introduction to Henk dated over a year ago, it is from Vassindio Drovenge's granddaughter, Chammady, requesting that he gather as many "Friends" as possible and take to the sewer complex as previously discussed. Cause turmoil and disruption, keep eyes off us." She goes on to say, "There's a group of Bastards operating and nabbing some nobles do not confront them, nor are you to work with them directly.'

Note 2:

"I'm glad the demonstration was a success, my half-brother, Ecarrdian, is a direct descendent archdevil Mammon and no further demonstrations should be in order. Take the coin and find a method inside the manor we want contact with Liebdaga the Twin."

Note 3:

You've done an adequate job in weakening the Grulios, Tilernos and Missepi Houses. We want their shipping and docking interest. Press that attack once you've handled the loyalist to our grandfather and that meddling swamp hag the Mother of Flies. She is the only one that knows the secret of Ecarrdian’s bloodline. If we are to seize control of government after the council, she must be eliminated!"

Note 4:

It's a simple list: Andrea, John Deos, Faelyn Sindrel, Fiosa Sweettooth, Lucrezia Villanova, Orsin Bessatte, Talbard the Grey, Arael, Janiven


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

Andrea sorts through some of the documents, frowning even more as she sees the final list.

Looks like we missed Henk. We should take these documents back and give them to the Tilneros and others. I doubt that anything legal can be done against the Drovanges since this can just be denied but we can do something certainly.

Looking down at the bodies littering the complex, Andrea kicks one. We should burn these so they can't use them as sources of information. Right now Daniel and Gerard are not on the list so they are unknown. We should take the head of that bard with us so we can question his spirit.

Daniel pales somewhat at the thought of removing the man's head, but his soul had already passed from this world to the next.
After today, I am no doubt on Henk's list. Though I suppose as a Member of house Tilneros, I am by extension a target anyway. ... Andrea my initial reason for offering to throw in with you was to find Sascar. With that discharged the patriarch of the house would have me return to his side. Forgive his lack of....confronting... action towards the rulership of Westcrown. We are bound to make lawful overtunes for the betterment of the city before outright conflict that would cost innocent lives.

Daniel's mouth almost sounded like it was speaking someone else's words. An old argument he had lost many times .
...I am not as wise as Lord Tilneros. I am a soldier, given to action when I see a wrong that needs righting.
SOMETHING needs to happen to better the lives of the Westcrani.
If the rumors preceding our introduction are true, your band seek to end the nightmare after dark. The monsters that chase the people I doors before sundown. That is something grand, should you succeed. Lord Tilneros would not approve, but I cannot abide living in this city and not acting. If you have use for me, you will have my sword till this is completed. What say you?


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

You are welcome to join us. We indeed seek to end the threta of the Shadowbeasts that has been unleashed by the vampire Ilnerik. We have quite the story to tell you, a tale that is better told over some mugs of ale since it is quite long. Although with what we have experienced with the explosion of the Mayor's manor and the fact that the Drovanages seem to have declared war on the other families, we seem to be at war with them as well.

Andrea helps pile the bodies together and gets a flask of oil, scattering it over the corpses, she seems to drift off into a divine reviere and chants.[/b]

By the rivers of Cheliax, there we sat dowm, yea, we wept, when we remembered Westcrown. Remember, O Goddess, the children of Drovange on that day who said, 'Raze it, raze it, even to the foundations.' O daughter of Cheliax, who art to be destroyed. Happy shall he be that rewardeth the as thou hast serv4ed us. Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stone

Andrea lights the pile of corpses. What that means, is that we don't run any more, we fight. Against those who would raze Westcrown, we render unto them vengeance.

I'm not on any list, 'cause I'm a nobody... Until I was captured, they didn't even know I existed. I was investigating misfortune that had recently befallen House Missepi.


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

Oh? We have gotten to know them since a group called the Bastards of Erebus kidnapped one of their family. That was about a year ago and we've gone through so much. Enough of several books.


M H, NPC Aristocrat, rogue

I'll post something before we leave to get you all roleplaying a bit.

Once everyone leaves the sewer system and make there way back to gate that separates the ruined district from the main of the city, you can see that there is commotion of sorts a that the gate. When you arrive, Areal is there with a mixed contingent from the Tilernos and Miseppe house guards and they look none to happy.

"Open this damn gate or you will be dealt with harshly lieutenant"

The crooked Lieutenant sneers then nods approval to his two squads.


NPC, H/Elf

"There they are...all look safe." Areal points at the heroes as they approach. "quickly now," he demands of the gate guards. The gates open to permit entrance. There are several slaps on the backs and well wishes but the celebration is more reserved with all the prying eyes on you.


M H, NPC Aristocrat, rogue

When the party moves from the gate, your group is surrounded in a protective formation, "We would have arrived sooner but the city is still in chaos with all the checkpoints." Looking at Daniel, "Your brother would like for you meet him at House Grulios."

"Thank you for your service Gerard, my sister will be..." he pauses, "...pleased."


NPC, H/Elf

Areal will suggest, "the three houses are meeting at the Grulios Manor your presence is requested." He looks at all the members.

"Hopefully John will already be there."


NPC, H/Elf

"Fiosa is safely working with Janiven and team of four others rendering aid near the docks." He whispers to Andrea.


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

Well met.

If I am quiet regarding matters, it is because I've been in a hole for the better part of a fortnight. They fed me, enough. But, I could use a proper razor and a bowl of hot water.

Gerard indicates the others, grinning. I was in the midst of my escape with the Lady Sascar. We slowed down enough to rescue this motley crew.

Daniel closes his eyes for the moment at Andrea's question.
Azreal has not left yet. He has not failed nor completed the task or he would have returned to report either way. I would go see his job safely discharged before anything else. The woman seemed known to you. Did you know where she would wish to go?

All thoughts of celebration were flown from his mind.
He looks at Missepe, I will need to convey my apologies. There is another equally deserving of finding her sanctuary from this place. I am honor bound to see her safe. I left her with capable guard, he is however past due. I would take 2 of the Tilneros guard and see my duty completed.

Speaking with Trent Missepe, steps from the group.

How is your sister, Trent? I hope I haven't cause too much worry, I hadn't planned on the long absence. But, when I saw they were holding Lady Sascar... I had to let them take me, so that I could keep her safe.

You allowed yourself to be captured? What business, pray tell were you conducting to bear witness to Sascar's capture? The question was spoken honestly, without accusation. Daniel's respect for this man was actually growing considerably.


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

Daniel, I witnessed no capture, only the result. Until recently, I've kept a very low profile. Having emigrated from Andoran and fallen in love with one Bianca Missepe, I'd thought it best.

I was investigating the streak of bad luck that has befallen House Missepe, when I came across the organization holding Lady Sascar. I did not know who she was at the time, but her plight was clear. Something had to be done.

Gerard thinks back...

For a week before that I was living in the sewer system. Learning what I could. Living off the "land". I was under their noses. Damnable hole.


M H, NPC Aristocrat, rogue

Trent looks at the two women then laughs suddenly, "Oh my, you are so right and how ungentlemanly of us to suggest that you immediately go to House Grulios before a proper bath." He glances over at Areal, then states, "I will advise the families that you will appear in three hours time to discuss our current situation."


Evil GM

Daniel one of the Tilernos house guards advises that Lady Sascar is resting and the merchant's wife is safe. Azreal decided that it would be better to escort the both the merchant and his wife to our house for safety reasons. He was doing that, the last I heard.


Evil GM

Lady Sascar had been missing for 4 days time.


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

Andrea trudges back to the safehouse after discussing with Areal about how Daniel and Gerard are trustworthy.

It is best we stick together for now, we tend to get scattered around after we are out.

Once back at the safehouse, Andrea deposits the large pile of equipment and documents on a table. We can sell these later. Janivan and Areal should look over these documents before we head over to the Grulios.

Andrea bathes and gets on a clean change of clothes before re donning her equipment and waiting for the others to finish their preparations for the visit to the nobles.
