Baldwin the Merciful's: Razor Coast (Inactive)

Game Master baldwin the merciful

Good out of character guessing Astri! I wasn't certain if you or Bri would have picked up on rapier. If the scalps could talk...lol.

Astri you think you've seen the hilt before but heck you've come across so many people lately you are probably mistaken.

You do have your very own wizard there...of course, you'd have to pay for his services. :-)

The three move a little farther down the side of the tavern. Garreg props up against the tree and grabs the Carla and pulls her to him as the henchman turns towards Torgue and stand guard.

I'll Cire and Chell have their surprise action now since they did not spot you. Torgue if you turn back towards them now that will draw attention.

Updated Map with Garreg

Now?

If you want to take the surprise round action.

As the man leaves to take a room, she turns to Xander. "Do you know who that man was...? The hilt on his sword seemed very familiar to me."

"Haven't seen much yet other than some suspicious barrels, but there does appear to be a hidden passage over there. You think we should just leave now or check it out?"

Is there a door to the passage and if there is, is it locked?

Where? Think it's trapped? Let's both have a look...

Perception, traps: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 2 = 15

There is a well concealed door to the passage. Sorrin says it's not trapped.

Bri, tossing a perception check for traps, or should I open?

I can try though Bri gets no bonuses for traps or anything

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Bri the door does not look trapped but there is an unusual opening mechanism that Soriin did not notice.

"Well, I don't see any traps. Let's take a look in."

Ever been to The City of Brass? You'd like it...

disable device: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

"Eh, my idea of an awesome city to visit would be a floating one. I dislike spending too much time on dry land."

We should make a giant floating city ship.

And OMG I just had a horrible idea for a Waterworld style campaign.

disable device again, if needed: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

Cireladwen readies her bow and nocks and arrow, but does little else at the moment.

Bri and sorrin you get the door open and waft of stronger acid hits your senses.

Both of you need a fort save.

Cireladwen notches an arrow.

Is Chell or Torgue going to do anything?

As the man leaves to take a room, she turns to Xander. "Do you know who that man was...? The hilt on his sword seemed very familiar to me."

knowledge local: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (7) + 22 = 29

"Rickard Bleardon, leads the "Salty Dogs" a local thuggery gang. Rumor is he and his companions ran into a tight snafu a few nights back. Several killed with some canines. Best to steer clear."

Wow. One day I aspire to have bonuses that large...

The bard gives a slow nod of thanks to Xander. "Ah, I've heard of the Salty Dogs. Hm. Seems the type. Doesn't explain the sword hilt, but thank you. I don't have any intention of tussling with him unless he gets in my way."

"Don't you think you can handle him on your own? Don't you want to know about the hilt?" Xander asks with a curious tone, "Your tongue waggles but is it only hot air?" How much of her story was her? How much was the glory of others. Curious.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Fortitude: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

"Ugh, this room smells awful. Making my damn eyes water. Can you see anything in here Sorrin?"

perception: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 6 - 4 = 3

Just seeing if Chell was going to do anything magical like

Casting Hold Person on Garreg. And Command on his friend to flee. If he saves, cast Command on Garreg to submit. Hopefully he won't save...ah who am I kidding? They always save.

The bard yawns, and tilts her head at Xander. "Handle him? Yes, I could defeat him alone if I wanted to. I have tricks, traps, sword and bow or I could just talk him into revealing where he got the sword, if that's the goal. But why? You just advised to steer clear, and as far as I know he just nicked it off an unfortunate sod whose sword I recognize. I've met so many people in the past few days probably half of them have been robbed by now. My curiosity is strong but I try not to get killed over trivial matters. On top of that, I'm drunk, tired, and unarmed." She rubs her forehead, and mutters. "Besides... I hate dogs."

perception, +2 if hidden/trap : 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Guess Carna was right about the acid baths.

Surprise RD: Garreg

will save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

does a 17 save? chell if you can remember put up your Save DCs.

Sorrin you don't see any traps in the opening although there is strong acid smell in the tunnel. Are you heading into the actual tunnel or are you simply investigating.

Xanders listens to the bard's response and nods. All bluster. Xander bids you good evening Astri takes the key to his room and heads off to it.

Sorrin tries to comfort Embrianna, Could be worse... He offers some water to rinse her eyes, wondering if she'll start to melt. Old wives' tale, surely.

I was thinking, if the acid smell came from this cellar and from the other building, this tunnel could connect them? And the smell of the still is used to mask the acid.

Diabolical.

survival, tunnel goes in other building's direction: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

You are fairly certain that the tunnel leads to the still.

Initiative Order:

Henchman
Garreg
Cireladwan
Chell
Torgue

RD 1: Henchman

Garreg's associate moves forward with sword in hand, "Bud git goin'" He nudges Torgue who was getting sick.

RD 1 Map

RD 1: garreg

I think the Hold person save was 16 correct?

Garreg feels the spell wash over him and pushes the wench away, "Whose dun that." He eyes Torgue suspiciously.

perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16

chell stealth: 1d20 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 - 2 = 7
cire stealth: 1d20 + 4 - 0 ⇒ (8) + 4 - 0 = 12

Chell double check your AC stats. Mith +1 breastplate does not give you a 12AC

"Hay's thare's twos in the trees."

That is all he is doing other than drawing a weapon.

RD 1 Actions remeining

Cireladwan
Chell
Torgue

Sorrin and Bri you both realize if what Sorrin believes is true you're going to need help. What ever is in that still/outbuilding is probably beyond the two of you and you'll most likely need the bard to assist.

"I think we may need to take note of this location and return later with supplies to neutralize acids. I'm sure there are alchemists in town."

Astrianna bids the wizard goodnight. He didn't seem very impressed by my answer. Oh well. She takes her notebook back and continues to write in it, determined to stay awake until her companions return. The half-elf wanted to make sure they came back.

Sure.

It is 16. Sorry. Are you ever going to fail a check? No -2 for intoxicated maybe? And the AC has shield bonus added cause I got a heavy shield. I'll alter it to 19 and change when I actually use it.

Why must you always make things hard Quell? the priestess thinks watching her spell fail yet again. She wished she prepared another casting but alas, no such luck.

I'll give Command(fall) a shot then. Same target. DC 15

Ok...I'll take -2 for intoxication. So Garreg failed his check...sort of a delayed reaction after he spoke.

Chell uses her command on the sober thug that moved up to Torgue.

will save henchman: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

The man drops to the ground face down.

Sorrin and Bri as a reminder are you checking out the barrel with the false bottom?

Very carefully, but yes.

Torgue runs to -A,8 and then -B,8. Drawing his club as part of his move (done)

And that's why he is called "the Merciful". Thanks.

"Tie him up and gag him and lets get out of here."

Bri you get the false bottom off and discover the following:

I need you to make 2 appraise checks DC 14 get the value listed.

One perception check on the items.

"Oh s~@@ Sorrin, I'm willing to bet this ring came off priest of Quell. I bet you Chell would be interested in seeing this."

"And a fake eye? Eeww, wonder if it was actually used. We can ask if any missing priests had one eye."

Bri just tosses the items into her bag for now, given her current conditions, she'd rather wait to be in a well lit and well ventilated room before appraisals are done.

appraise 1: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16
appraise 2: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16

What are you doing with the commanded henchman? You are able to tie/bind Garreg and get him ready to carry. I assume Torgue will be carrying the prisoner.

Bri and Sorrin are you rejoining chell, torgue, and Cir?
