Game Master baldwin the merciful

Andrea smiles and holds Fiosa's hand. It's good that Areal has good dependable like you two.

Taking out her prayer book, Andrea looks to Fiosa. Since we have some time, How about we talk some about miracles? Areal told me that you know a few, so it would be prudent that I help with furthering your skill.

Orsin releases a loud noise, something between a growl and a moan as he checks for his coin purse, cursing himself for forgetting which part of town he's in.

Honestly, I had a feeling that's what you were after with those Perception checks, but didn't wanna metagame. So how much am I missing?

"Oh...it really just sort of comes to me...I've had no training like you. I mean Arael talks to me about concepts and theology, we don't quite see eye to eye on some things though."

Janiven chuckles..."You too.

Fiosa, "I really only know how to cure people from wounds, and i can read certain documents, and light seems to come when I need it."

Do you only have one coin purse or multiple. One has been lifted.

"Oh...it really just sort of comes to me...I've had no training like you. I mean Arael talks to me about concepts and theology, we don't quite see eye to eye on some things though."

Janiven chuckles..."You too.

Fiosa, "I really only know how to cure people from wounds, and i can read certain documents, and light seems to come when I need it."

Andrea nods and holds out her hand. A few murmured words and a small ball of light forms in her palm. Orisons are what miracles such as light and reading documents are called in the various churches. Well, near everywhere. One can also learn how to detect the presence of poison in food and to help keep someone from dying from their wounds. Plus creating water and giving one a little 'nudge' as it were to help them achieve something.

Andrea lets the light fade. The more advanced miracles, such as healing depend on skill of course, all the wya to raisng the dead. I still have much to learn, but can achieve things like healing light wounds, enchanting weapons and protecting the mind from mental control. PLus there is channeling, which is a much larger catagory.

RD1:

The tiefling group that was on the street veered off down the alley and have disappeared.

"I have a lot to learn" She replies

Shinon growls. "Damn! I lost sight of my prey...Duncan! Can I leave this to you? It shouldn't take me too long to get reinforcements if I hurry!"

Shinon will hold his action until after Duncan has responded

"How much did she pinch from you Orsin?" making small talk as she waits for the other two to return.

"Tieflings like to operate in the darkness, they ahve an advantage then. We should hit them around 9:00 in morning...the sun will be up, maybe they're asleep. Of course, there is good chance they are either gone or on a heightend watch."

I had four 50 gp pouches. Two I have to the gate guard and the wench has since taken another.

Ignoring Janiven's question, Orsin curses and races downstairs to find the thieving wench.

Perception to notice the battle outside: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

So all targets are fleeing? Can Duncan see into the Darkness? A regular darkness spell merely lowers the natural light. It's daylight now so Duncan should see no problem, even Shinon since he has low light vision

"I have a lot to learn" She replies

Andrea nods and gives Fiosa's hand a light squeeze Indeed, but we can talk more about such things after we are done with this little expidition. I just hope Duncan and keep Shinon from doing something foolish again.

Andrea smooches Fiosa and indulges in idle chit-chat with Fiosa and Janiven.

Edit:
So Janiven, just how will we be handling The Bastards? Areal said they were involved witht he deaths of the smith and his wife, but we don't know if they had anything to do with the other people like Stoutpour. Will we be trying for capuring them?

Orsin, you don't see the bar wench or the half orc she fell into. There are three other half-orcs a thte table, and the bar looks about the same. Unless you polk your head out you don't see much of anything there.

---
Duncan - yes they are all fleeing.

So all targets are fleeing? Can Duncan see into the Darkness? A regular darkness spell merely lowers the natural light. It's daylight now so Duncan should see no problem, even Shinon since he has low light vision

If the shadows in the alley from the adjacent buildings originally reduced it to dim light, then it would be total darkness, though.

Shinon growls. "Damn! I lost sight of my prey...Duncan! Can I leave this to you? It shouldn't take me too long to get reinforcements if I hurry!"

Shinon will hold his action until after Duncan has responded

Dude, read the Darkness spell description. It's daytime. It's normal light to dimlight, you can see them. If building shadows go dim to dark, Duncan sees fine

Gonna fish sommore I see. Go lad.Duncan moves to gain line of sight and shoots at the closestt tiefling.

Ranged Attack1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18REALLY HOPE THAT HITS
Damage1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 2 = 13

The spell reduces the light by one degree, it is day light out but the alley has shadow and is tight, so it began as dim. Duncan's darvision has no problem but it does effect Shinon's low-light. You need to actually to move into a better positon to see back down the alley, right now you are at a angle to the alley.

You move back into light of sight and shoot but there are crates and boxes blocking the view. There are two bodes laying in alley.

Shinon nods and rushes back into the inn, bumping into Orsino. "Hey! Where is everyone? The tieflings found us, they're outside and Duncan's really outnumbered right now! Grab Andrea, John and Janiven and come help us!"

I assume that's my turn for the round, probably involved a double move action. Next round I will definitely move back outside.

Shinon to your utter surprise you see a tavern full of patrons staring at you after you speak.

There is huge crack on the bar by the sound of club whacking it. Stumpy has glare on his face. "NO TROUBLE IN HERE!

Shinon and Orsin can make perception checks.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

Utterly oblivious to the drama that is going downstairs, Andrea begins debating the virtues of the Trickery concept with Fiosa and Janiven.Plus hopefully Lust as well.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

Shinon looks up and frowns. "Don't worry. We're keeping it outside. "

Orsin starts pulling Shinon back towards the front entrance. "We can't grab the others without pissing off everybody else in here. There was a tiefling in here who just disappeared before my eyes, maybe she fled to warn the Bastards, I don't know, but if Duncan's in trouble we need to help him."

Come out and play ye Succubi afterbirth!

Orsin starts pulling Shinon back towards the front entrance. "We can't grab the others without pissing off everybody else in here. There was a tiefling in here who just disappeared before my eyes, maybe she fled to warn the Bastards, I don't know, but if Duncan's in trouble we need to help him."

Shinon groans. "If only there were some kind of magical spell that allowed us to contact them from a distance, like telepathically or something! Argh! Fine, if it's just you, then it's just you, now come on!"

Shinon rushes outside, bow in hand, and surveys the situation as it unfolds.

...For unmentionables, Lady Mary's has an excellent supply of silk for those who are willing to splurge. Even some leather for those adventurous types. Hey Fiosa, I think I can get something in your size if you are interested...

Just another day amongst the ladies..

Shinon you see the tiefling sitting by herself under the stairs disappear right as you notice three half orcs charge at you.

Bull Rush v CMD 16: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Bull Rush v CMD 16: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

The two half orcs have pushed you back into up agianst a wall.

The third on draws his falchion and yells "HE SAID NO TROUBLE"

Sorry folks, the half-orcs act before Shinon can react to his GREAT Surprise. Orsin there's the third half-orc already there with his falchion raised. Don't bother rolling an AoO Shinon, they have improved unarmed and improved bull rush. Orsin, you have one if you wish to take it.

I lol'd big time. But who knows? Maybe the disappearing tiefling is slipping her way up the stairs to slit your throats?

Orsin looks to Stumpy hoping he's indifferent. "We don't want any trouble, just let us leave to help our friend in trouble outside."

Diplomacy to make request of an indifferent creature: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

Shinon sighs and looks up at the two half-orcs holding him against the wall. "Very well. No trouble at all. Release me, and I swear on my life that I won't set foot in this inn ever again. If I do, kill me."

The two half-orcs with their nasty rotten meat smelling breath roar at you. "OUT." As he they orc-handle you and shove you out of inn.

The one with the falchion turns to Orsin, but Stumpy interrupts, "Go git ye friends and move on."

It is becoming painfully obvious that you don't have much daylight left, perhaps an hour.

Shinon groans as they shove him outside. Glancing behind him, he grins a bit. "Oh man, Andrea's not going to like this. Remember, this was your fault!" he calls to Duncan, before moving up and drawing his bow. "Where's the enemy?"

Move action to move into a position where I can see the alleys clearly. Standard action to take the Total Defense action, granting me a +6 dodge bonus to my Armor Class for 1 round.

Do you have any Family in Westcrown, Fiosa? How about you Janiven?

Before Andrea's quesitons can be ansered there is thud on your door. A half-orc is standing there with a club in his hand. "ye been evicted, gitcha stuff and git out wit yer udders."

Andrea sits there for a moment with a look of utter disbelief on her face.

The camera then pulls back until the outside of the tavern is seen and then the entire building shakes.

DUNCAN! SHINON!

Janiven grabs her gear, "Come on."

Andrea retrives her things and makes to to inform everyone else that they need to leave before storming downstairs with the others.

Ermolos and Fiosa follow.

Shinon's eyes widen. "W-wait a second...I sense a disturbance...a presence I've not felt since...oh crap!"

Andrea goes through the taproom with her face flushed with anger and even shame at the humiliation of being thrown out of the place and being let down for the fourth time.

Once outside, Orsin draws his blade and stands beside Shinon, his back to the elf. "Well, where are they?!"

Orsin also readies the action to attack an enemy that moves into his threat range.

When Andrea gets outside she stares daggers at everyone. What the $#^@!! is going on here?!

What's happening outside

Andrea has just joined the fray, not good news for Shinon.

John will leave with the rest, once outside He will ask"What is going on? And it better be good"

At the doorway to the inn the outside bouncer has moved towards the door joined by the other three half-orcs.

"Stay F*%&@N out!"

----

There is no trace of the remaining tieflings. There are a few suspicious eyes peeking out.

Can everyone make a knowledge local for me.

Know Local: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

Shinon grimaces and walks over to the corpse, closing his eyes and whispering a prayer, before closing the man's eyes. "He's dead. Looks like these gentlemen were engaged in a bit of vigilante work."

There is a second body, a tiefling, that has two arrows piercing his body.

There is a second body, a tiefling, that has two arrows piercing his body.

Heal check: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13 (Is he dead, or unconscious and stabilized?)

They were doin' what.....how'd ye know.

Duncan suddenly has a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach.
Andrea, ye need ta wake the tiefling please..

Duncan pulls a cure light wounds potion and pours it down the tieflings throat.
