Game Master concerro

Im holding my acyion until feed back on the stuff gm, ill still be at the point inside thinking looking at the gear, one I have that ill act

What feedback were you looking for?

Just a bit more of whats in Tesh's gear really, any books, holy cleric stuff, bell book, scrolls, spell books etc. I think we know that there is no Potions, or did I miss the list of items sorry if I did.

I never listed the items.

bracers of armor +4, cloak of resistance +2, jewelry worth 10,000 gp

knowledge history check for more information on the items.

Of late my Dice fu has been weak but lets see if I can get this plot pivot point ID'ed

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20 Knowledge (History)

Lotus

All of Tesh’s gear appears very old but well-maintained. It once belonged to the royal house of Taldor, and it has a selling price
to representatives of the crown for 50% above its listed value.

Are ok, but nothing that can aid the sick her or tell us any thing about his plans etc, right then best get back to the fight, Ill hold off the elemental spell until some one talks to the dragon, I think that was the plan. Tik Tik would be the one. If he can get us that Ten mins ill cast for help etc

Is TikTik diplomatic? I have a +13, and can give myself another +3. Although his Aid Another might be useful with his Draconic heritage. Lotus, didn't you have a skill-boosting spell, or is it already gone today?

Just side notes-- Hali has on air barrier, haste, and wings of air. She also has a fly skill of +22.

So Lotus is tending to the people inside for now?

I'm no diplomat, that's for sure. I'm just a few steps shy of being as far from a magma dragon as a kobold is a red anyway.

Sorry meant Halistria not Tik-Tik who headed out to help Thogg, is the plan to talk to the Dragon or fight and level the sick behind? I think my PC may have a problem with just letting other die wile she has a chat with a dragon, where as if that dragon IS going to kill ever one in the town and has can not be reseoned with she will once again head out to fight it.

"Fear not, Tik Tik. His breath cannot be much hotter than the places I've been."

Reminder that I have Resist Fire 10

Message to Thogg and the othersThogg, give me a moment to talk to the dragon if I can. There must be a reason for these sudden attacks. Let's see if we can find out if the stupid leaders provoked him somehow, before mighty Thogg sets about smashing this drake.

Hali will give herself (and all the others if they wish to Aid her-hint, hint-) a +3 to Diplomacy thru lingering song of competence. Then she will try to maneuver in front of the Dragon and address him.

Hail Great Drake! Might I request a moment of your time? I beseech you to tell us why you are unleashing your wrath against these small townsfolk who are beneath the notice of once as mighty as you?

Here's hoping...
Diplomacy:1d20 + 13 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 13 + 3 = 17

Edit: I am soo... toasted. Can I try again in another round?

Ouch, ok that dos it,

Lotus go's outside no time to call for aid. Her Armor folds out to wings of light and she fly's into the air. She joins Halistria. Then in a booming voice she says.

"O great Drake we would have words with thee"

1d20 + 24 ⇒ (7) + 24 = 31 Diplomacy

GM how many rounds is this after we smighted the Necromancer?

Lotus it is probably 6 rounds after the necromancer died.

Hali he is coming around to complete his first circling of the town. He does not even acknowledge you are, and you almost get hit by his wing.
As he is flying past Hali he strafes the market place.

He tags a few more buildings while Lotus is talking, then he finally turns his attention to her. It takes 1 minute for diplomacy to change someone's attitude.

He then turns to her
"I was actually just about to leave, but I guess you are worried that I might return so you wish to barter for these pitiful people's existence. What do you have to offer?

"O great Drake, for beings as insignificant as ourselves, it may be insulting for us assume to know the needs of one so great as thee, we would not have your wrath once more, our minds to weak our harts to frail, so I plead to thee, tell us who are so lacking in knowledge of one as great as you, what the needs of a great Drake?"

"You need to kill Eldran Tesh, and bring me proof that he is dead. The second thing is that I need 20 of the townsfolk to serve as volunteers. Ok actually they will be hostages. but that will ensure that nobody comes to bother me. You may have time to think about it. In 48 hours they should be round up and led to a location 10 miles north of the town. If they are not there I will assume the townfolk did not agree. Oh the proof that Tesh is dead can be given to the hostages. That is my final offer."

"O great Drake he was sent back to the after life just moments ago, in the temple below, unless your saying that our work to slay him was for nourt. Look here are his belongings"

Lotus holds out the bag of Eldran Tesh's things.

"If your goal is an end to this being Eldran Tesh then out goal are one in the same and you have no need of hostages for we will aid you willing in this hunt and will explain you where hunting him in the town below, no one will bother you after that. If you know where he can be found the we would be much grateful. We ask if we agree to this, that you go and bother this town no more. For out part will tell them your goal was his end and the shall bother you no more on pain their whole town be ended. What say you to this deal, do we have agreement?"

1d20 + 24 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 24 + 4 = 34 Diplomacy

"No deal. I have killed a great many people. I don't expect everyone to just let it go. I don't think these people(the villagers) can harm me, but they seem to be wealthy, and they can hire someone who can. I am not so foolish as think I can not be harmed. That is how dragons die."

Lotus you also notice a violet light inside the dragon. It's eyes have have an identical shine to them.

PS:I should have mentioned it to Hali also since she is/was in the air also.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 Will save

"Humm I see, I will put what you say to the town below, 48 hours and no more? this could take some time. But I also need to ask, we believe Eldran Tesh is not more, why do you say other wise?"

What is the will save for?

illusion

Also Knowledge rolls GM for that light
1d20 ⇒ 12 + what you think from skills GM

What illusion? Are checking to see if the dragon is an illusion? If so I really hope your will save modifier is higher than a +6. :) Seriously though, your stat block says you have a +20 on will saves, which would give you a 24, and you detect no illusion in any case.

None of the knowledge skills can identify the light.

Though so to big a plot point to get with one role hehe, yep should have been +24 was in a rush

"We will talk to the town but I ask again, we believe Eldran Tesh is no more, why do you say other wise? and where do you believe him to be?"

"You misunderstand. I know those items are his. I am just not convinced that the people will let bygones be bygones."

"So the 1st part of our deal is completed all ready, that is we needed to kill Eldran Tesh, and bring you proof that he is dead, yes, so what you seek now is safety from retaliation from the towns people. To this end you want 20 of them has hostage yes. That is all you ask now in this deal. You agree Eldran Tesh is no more."

1d20 ⇒ 15

Any one with magic skills can you make rolls, I have a feeling I know what that light is and with this warm wants 20 souls but need the roll to tell is. Tik tik need ya help here

"That is correct. I shall be off now. Choose wisely the fate of the town depends upon it."

If nobody else has anything to say let me know.

Once the dragon leaves, Thogg harumphs.

"I do not see why we had to talk to it. You should have let me kill it. I will not be a party to handing over 20 thralls to a beast."

"I agree with Thogg I would rather not hand anyone ove to the Dragon." he sighs "weren't we trying to help these people, giving 20 of an already dwindle town to it seems more like damning them. he gestures to the town.

::I will not put people into slavery.:: Tik-Tik thinks quietly as he lands gently on Hali's shoulders and curls around them. ::I would rather die.::

"I need two things just now, We are all agreed no 20 souls for the dragon, but we need time to plan, can any one tell me what that light was inside the Dragon?, also Tik Tik do you have the speed to follow it so we know where its lar is. I never said Where we should meet in 2 days."

::It depends on how fast it's flying, but I can try.:: With a chirr of determination, Tik-Tik leaps from Hali's shoulders and takes off in the direction the magma dragon did, keeping a low altitude whenever possible, flapping his wings for all they are worth.

Tik-Tik has a fly speed of 60ft with good maneuverability. This means he can double move for 120ft a round, or 'run' in a straight line for 240ft a round. He'll keep the dragon in sight, but stay far behind it, if he manages to find it.

Perception(to see it or catch whatever scent is in the air still):1d20 + 19 ⇒ (20) + 19 = 39

Tik Tik how long do you wait until you try to follow it, and how far back will you be?

I won't go after until after Lotus suggests I try following it, and at least 100ft feet behind it. I don't want to risk being spotted anymore than I have to just by following it.

"We need to go and rest and then see how we can help the sick, ready ourself for the fight in 2 days"

"Two days? Why wait until we're expected? Little Tik-Tik will find the beast and we will slay it where it lives tomorrow."

"I agree we need to help who we can. Then we plan, prepare and rest. Then we go and make that Dragon pay for it's destruction."

Sorry I was away for a couple. RL kicked me for a bit. I *REALLY, REALLY, REALLY* wanted to ask the Dragon *WHY* he was mad at Tesh, and *WHY* he straffed the town in the first place, and *WHY* he kidnapped the soon-to-be-married couple (if in fact he did). Is there any chance at all of getting those questions in "before the dragon leaves?"

I don't know about 20 hostages, but I know of ONE in particular I'd be willing to part with -she points to the rapidly retreating Count-

She pats TikTik comfortingly on his claws. ::We will NOT give over innocents, I promise you.::

Hali the dragon tells you that Tesh tried to doublecross him 300 years ago. Tesh was from a mining town, and he was a very influential. Some of the miners happened upon the dragon by chance after killing his minions. In order to prevent further hostilities an agreement was made. The minters were to continue mining, until the found a particular diamond. The miners were allows to keep 70 of everything else they found. The town grew rich, but when they finally found the diamond that was to go to the dragon Tesh decided to not hand it over. Tesh was ordered to turn the diamond in or else. Tesh was killed in combat. The dragon then told the townspeople they would die because of Tesh's greed. Tesh however did not stay dead, so he was going to destroy this town also, but he was going to do it slowly instead of doing it in one day.

As for the couple they are found to be among those that were in the temple, once the dragon leaves, and aid starts being administered. Tesh had them.

"I will be at the brothel. Send for me when Tik Tik returns."

Without further delay, Thogg leaves to enjoy the pleasures of the flesh and restore his strength with a soft bed and two or three female companions.

"Lotus or Hali do you have any magics that might help defend us against the Dragon's Offensive abilities." looking at the 2 ladies "My magic is a bit up close and personal attacking and my own defense."

"I need to see to the sick 1st but yes I will look into ways to help us with the dragon. Could you see why he wants this Dimond so much, and what that Migic light was comming from inside the dragon?"

Tik Tik how long do you wait until you try to follow it, and how far back will you be?

bump

If we rest, I'll have a few of my offensive abilities back. But mostly I'm good at team support. And I agree with Lotus, there is still a lot we don't understand here. So far I think Tesh was a greater villain than the dragon, although I'm not inclined to give him any hostages besides the count.

I will not aloe that Dragon to take even one hostage even the count, he is a foolish man not a evil man. But I agree we must rest, and look into what this is all about. Why that light from inside the Dragon, Just why that one Gem? Why brake that deal?.

There is a lot we do not yet know here and the fool of a Count must have books, scrolls from that time or a local bard who knows.

I can do one more thing, I can try and talk to my god or the Vault keeper god, he owns us one, she says with a smile.

Kazimeir following Lotus's suggestion and head to what this city might call a library and begins to research the Diamond. what skill check?

knowledge(arcane) or history

Kazimier walks through the shelves of the library looking for the books he thinks he will need. after he has an armful he goes to a table and begins his research.

Knowledge (Arcana) 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 18

Hali takes 10 (as a standard action) to remember ballads and songs that might be pertinent:

Knowledge Arcana: 1d20 + 12 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 12 + 10 = 25
Knowledge History: 1d20 + 10 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 10 = 27

Ok day one I can use Commune, that gives us 15 yes/do not know/no answers to 15 questions from my godess, its not much any idears what I can ask?
