Baldwin the Merciful's: Razor Coast (Inactive)

Game Master baldwin the merciful

The Razor Coast has drawn men to madness and slaughter since the world was young. Tulita natives, born from the same fire as this jagged coast, claim the Razor existed long before the world’s other lands. It is a crucible of flame cooled by the ocean’s caress and its mountains, reefs, and lightless depths teem with as many terrors as lustrous spoils. The Razor bucks the trappings of civilization in much the same manner the storm-tossed sea spurns the men who dare mount her. This is no place for the weak-willed. Untested souls are food for its storms, its fickle gods, its ancient spirits, and the evil predations of unfathomable creatures. No less dangerous are the men who make the coast their home and whose dark desires put most horrors to shame.

The man enter the front door and fog billows out. You see a few windows being opened and likewise fog flows outward.

"whose gonna be next." The friendly girl asks.

Sorrin you know Carna works for Garreg, in case that helps you in planning.


Evil GM

I'm going to hodl off a bit and wait to see if Togue and Cireladwan add anything form what they saw in the bar or outside the bar.

Torgue will rejoin the three others. We'un should git out of here before that magic cloud vanishes. I'm not drunk enough to fight dragoons.

Sorrin knows who Carna works for, but he seems over it for the night.


Evil GM

Torgue are you going to tell anyone about what you saw in the bar? Link


Female Elf Expert 1/Fighter 6 (Hp:54/54) //AC: 19/15/15//F+6 R+7 W+6//Init +4, Perception +11/

"I saw a man going into that building I pointed to just a moment ago." Cireladwen points out, letting out a polite cough.
"It was a little odd, but..."

Thoughts:
I know that is a clue but Torgue just thinks it means lousy grog being made and just takes it as a sign not to drink there anymore. INT/WIS 10 tends to miss stuff.


Evil GM

torgue:

Ok as far as your clue but would you think of telling anyone in the party about the smell? FYI: A 10 Int/Wis is average you are not slow or dimwitted.

Second, you saw two people fitting the description of the nightslinks inside the bar. You know this bar is in the outskirts to so their presence would make sense to you. You would not miss that information. You also know finding the Nightslinks was on the group's to-do list.


M Human Warrior/Barb1/6Init+1Fort+12Ref+3Will+4,Perc+9AC19/T11/FF19/HP44/100CMB +10/+12 Sunder CMD 21/23 Sunder

Oh! I remember, there were Nightslinks in the bar, aren't we supposed to go after them? Plus don't drink there any more, stinking acid grog.


Evil GM

Astri are you going to give Xander parchment, a quill, and ink?

Yup she did.

Xander nods when the bard offers the items. "You wouldn't some thin silver wiring would you...you know, it'll really help to get this done." He lift an eyebrow.

Astrianna cups her chin in her hands, thinking. She takes out her spell component pouch and digs around in it before shaking her head. "No... No, got some iron strips and a whooole lot of butter." The half-elf shrugs. "I'm assuming you don't have any spell components...you can use the money to purchase whatever you need. Also where's your spellbook?" She seems quite curious to see the arcane tome.


Evil GM

"Wellllllll...since you asked perhaps you'd be a good sport and spot me say 500 gold to get it out of hawk." Optimistically he adds, "I do have spell component pouch." He pats his tattered cloak.

The website system still won't let me create a new avatar.

Astrianna's eyes pop. "Five hundred?!" She exclaims, probably louder than she should have. Groaning, she puts her head in her hands. "You pawned your spellbook? Listen old man- I like you, and I want your services, but the charity has to stop somewhere, around the 100 gold mark to be exact. Maybe we can work something out. Who did you hawk it to?"


Evil GM

"Sam...I'm excellent though and he's a bit jealous of my abilities, but well I'm bit down on my luck and he eagerly wanted my book. It's ok...I'll only be able to do one of those alarm spells though." He taps his temple. "Only have it once up here...actually your lucky that I do, I normally or well, use to just have scrolls of it." He runs his old fingers through his hair. "But making that alarm spell last 8 hours is snap." On cue he snaps his fingers.

He puts his old thin fingers on his chin, "reallllly could use that extra 500 hundred to get that book though. He eyes the coin on the bar...but I've got a line on bet at the skull tomorrow...this could help." He scoots the coin towards him.

Astrianna groans again, this time in disgust, at the mention of Sam. "Great. Sam. There's no way I could talk him into giving your spellbook back and us working out a scheme where part of your wages go to paying off his loan.. He doesn't like me." She smacks her hand on the table. "Damn. Xander, don't you see, he's neutered you. Removed his competition! Sam owns the arcane trade in this town, you could show him up, you know."

She lets him have the coin, but looks him in the eye. "I love a good bet as much as anyone at the skull, but if you can't show me you can keep yourself afloat I'm not going to help you get your spellbook back." The half-elf crosses her arms over her chest. "If you use the money to get yourself cleaned up and outfitted to work for me instead of gambling it, I'll help you get your spellbook back. A five hundred gold investment for a wizard of your caliber is a great deal. But! You have to show me I can trust you before I shell it out. The choice is yours."


Evil GM

He exhales, "But Jin is due to lose...it's a sure thing guy came over from the desert lands. Well, nearly paying 20 to 1."


Evil GM

What is the party going to do. Torgue mentions the nightslinks, and some acid grog. Cire mentions seeing dwarf with a sack (probably a body she thinks) Sorrin, chell and bri observe the sailor customer go back inside and Carla propositions Sorrin.

Inside the bar it is loud and lots of swearing about the fog. the windows and door open up.


M Human Warrior/Barb1/6Init+1Fort+12Ref+3Will+4,Perc+9AC19/T11/FF19/HP44/100CMB +10/+12 Sunder CMD 21/23 Sunder

well we have one thing we can do right here and now. How about a good deed, Sorrin? Torgue looks over at Carla.

Astrianna can't help but look interested. "Hmmm... 20 to 1? Those are some good odds..." She bites her lip for a moment. "I may not be able to make it to the Skull tomorrow night, but if I am I may get in on this after some research. Regardless of what I do, my statement still stands. I need to know I can trust you. Then we'll get your spellbook back and you can wizard for me."

Well talk to me here, just what do you want for Carla? I heard you were concerned but I think I came in late for the talk you were having about her.


Evil GM

Astri make a local check.

Her brother is Major Roland Lawrence, ex-dragoon. He is a good man, claims he was framed by that Sergeant that Donovan isn't thrilled with. Roland works for me, gave him a uniform and weapon.

He sees his sister like this and it drives him crazy, the dragoons taunt him in public. She is afraid to leave Garreg and feels she can never break free. She won't let her brother take care of her. But, Garreg is doing this to others as well. It's as good as slavery. And the drugs, and gods know what else.

I told Roland, I'd need some time, but would take care of Garreg. Honestly, I want Garreg dead.


CN Female Half-elf Iconic Envoy 13| Sp: 104/104 | Hp 78/78 | RP: 8/13 | EAC: 23 , KAC: 24 | Fort +9, Ref +13, Will +12 (+14 vs enchantment) | Init: +4 | Percep: +19, 12 Metron darkvision | Conditions:

I'll go ahead and use her once-a-day Loremaster ability to take 20. Also I really like to know lore and such, but I see what you mean about all these take 10's and 20's taking away some of the fun of rolling the dice.

So maybe to start we can have Chell use some of her divine healing magic to get rid of that drug craving if she has it? That way Garreg can't control her that way. You aren't gunna like the hard language but Garreg probably isn't going to miss one whore. Plus we have enough strength between us to make sure it isn't worth trying to go after her.

Plus we could just follow after him when he leaves and smash him when he goes to sleep.

Ha! Honestly I was suspecting that out-of-character. Low wisdom scores can sure hurt one's pocket.

Astrianna thinks for a few minutes and then shakes her head. "Wait wait wait... Xander... Jin is undefeated. Someone is trying to sucker you out of your money, I wouldn't place a copper on it. Know what's a better bet? Working for me."

If I look worried to you, think again.

I'm disgusted with your cowardice. With your lack of faith... in your fellows, in people who faced death with you. You turned your back on me, on enemy ground, outnumbered and surrounded.

My uncle would have you gutted and left out to rot in the desert for scavengers. Do you know why scavengers? For fear that a predator would ever be infected by your weakness and lack of soul.

Speak to me when you've exorcized whatever devil possessed you, priestess. And, my uncle would spit but tell me it is not becoming for a prince of the blood.

Sorry Sorrin, but there is a limit.

Torgue pulls out his greatclub.

Get out of here now or I will kill you where you stand.


Male Human Warrior 1/Fighter 5/Rogue 4 | 32/99 | AC 27/18/20 | F 10/R 10/W 3-4 vs fear | Init +5 | Perc +7/+10 traps

See, the infection...

Sorrin doesn't seem afraid, just tired as he turns and walks away.

Sorrin's rant has a very visible effect. By the end Chell has hung her head and is trembling. Though he can't see her face he can definitely hear the sniffle. Her breath hitches as she tries to speak. When she tries again it is obviously strained. "The only reason...I am still here...is because you obviously care what happens...to these people. Otherwise," she says lifting her head. Tears shine in her eyes and trails can be seen rolling down her cheeks. "Otherwise I would have let you continue in there and watched you rot in jail. You can't solve every problem by bashing your head against it."


Male Human Warrior 1/Fighter 5/Rogue 4 | 32/99 | AC 27/18/20 | F 10/R 10/W 3-4 vs fear | Init +5 | Perc +7/+10 traps

Over his shoulder... Fear, dressed as compassion. Uncle isn't here.

He spits as he walks.

Is he actually walking away from this.

Losing all composure again, Cireladwen tenses, approaches Sorrin from behind and swats at the back of his head like a misbehaving child.
"Those.. are the most venemous, spiteful, hateful, plaguebearing, motherhumping words I have ever heard leave humanoid lips." she informs him.
"I have heard murderers say kinder things to their captors,"

She shakes her head and proceeds in the cadence of a human grandparent.
"No noble purpose will save you from this, adan. You need your pack, and now they have turned on you because you cannot accept that you must work with actual people. Reality is not the sum of your expectations."

She pauses.
"Before you return with your accusations or sullen silence, I know that I failed as well. Please see this for the pattern that it is. Everybody lets you down because you expect something grander for what you invested."


Male Human Warrior 1/Fighter 5/Rogue 4 | 32/99 | AC 27/18/20 | F 10/R 10/W 3-4 vs fear | Init +5 | Perc +7/+10 traps

Several paces away from the others Sorrin does not flinch, as he expected such a transgression. Instead, he turned calmly to the elfess.

I smell your scent Cireladwen, my treasure. It reminds me of your blanket. He turns to look at her and in his eyes, a smile. Not for the situation, merely for her.

Do you find it odd that you only take such liberties with me, the uncouth upstart? I do... or did. But, my mother and sister had a gift they called... "seeing threads". I did not understand it very well, until now.

We are tied you and I. Beyond space and time, other lifetimes in the past, currently or yet to be. Sister and brother, wife and husband or parent and child... I don't know what we are to each other in this life. It does not matter, we will find our way.

Do not mistake harsh and hurtful words for lies and untruths. In this lifetime, you are a warrior. Across all the cultures and nations of light, there is a warrior's code. We live and die by it, for good or ill. Never abandon, never betray. It is the warrior's heart and soul.

Among this group, you are the only one with a chance to understand this. Do not forgive so easily that people are not held accountable for their actions. We are none of us children, though you may like to think so. I do not begrudge you this affection, though it takes getting used to.

He has no idea what she will do next, perhaps slap him or continue the scolding.

Bri just shakes her head and sighs at Sorrin. "I'm not going to apologize for you being rash and impulsive. I'm fine with capturing Gareg to take him into custody, but I haven't seen any evidence of crimes great enough for me to just murder him outright. As for the woman, you only have her brother's word right now that she is unhappy and forced into service."

As Embrianna starts in, Sorrin shrugs at her first statement... We know that Commandant Bonedeuce, and therefor the dragoons who you worry so much about offending, see him as "wanted" for drug trafficking. You were there, when it was said and a writ was provided for bringing him in.

This is not about the girl, open your eyes. This is about Garreg, who traffics in people and drugs at the very least.

This information is corroborated by an independent source, Bonegnaw who thought we were sent by Garreg and "The Ring". Garreg is the local conduit for the drugs. The Ring, an organization that people claim is defunct... but instead have a copycat group, the Nightslinks.

Nightslinks that were spotted in that establishment. We are new to the nightslink information and we spotted them, do you think dragoons should have long before us? And yet there they were, a subset of dragoons, Garreg and the Nightslinks all chummy, sharing a drink.

A pause, You can tell Mother Superior back there... that the people in that building are probably with a fair degree of certainty, responsible for the disappearances of Quell's priests. And, that body the dwarf might be hauling... could be Father Zalen himself.

But, let's not act. Let's walk away because it's more... convenient.

Simply an extension of the same operation (pier, warehouse, barge, drugs), at Bonedeuce's request. Stop the drugs. We got Bonegnaw - the seller, Garreg is the buyer. We are all foreigners, are we debating local law?

I don't mean to hand-wave/waive "the law", especially considering our prestigious barrister DM. Sorrin can make a bigger deal of these things in the future... But, he'd have to be very picky about what put in writing and what's not, who are persons of interest, items of interest, an expiration date and multiple copies for each individual in case the one holding the one copy drowns, is crushed to pulp and eaten by a/the kraken, etc...

I think the writs are clear, after Astrianna opened one up and read it. They are written by Boneduece to give permission to an individual to break laws for the benefit of the dragoons' goals. They specify the number and names of individuals it covers, what actions they can take, where, and when. Once the seal on them is broken they are no longer effective, and we don't know what's inside without opening it and a subsequent forgery roll to re-seal it.
