Caravan to Minkai - Jade Regent AP (Inactive)

Game Master Azure_Zero

Natara studies the goblin aproaching them.

Back in the game
Radko winks at Mai as he enters.
As Natara translates the parley dialogue, he addresses her:
"Can you make sure they send someone who can speak our language to guide us?"

"I think we'd be lucky if one did."

"What do you think? Do we have a deal?"

"I believe so, Sir Alfric. Keep an eye on our guide regardless, though."

Sir Alfric just nods, trying to keep an eye out for treachery.

"Let's get going then, shall we."

"Tell our guide I'll come down hard on him in case of betrayal."
Radko tries to convey the menace through his looks to the goblin as they exit the building.
Intimidate: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

"Please don't threaten our guide,
and it could start of more bad blood."

"Let's get going. The sooner we solve this the sooner we make this area safer. Our guide says he doesn't speak common, so I'll keep translating."

She glances casually at the guide then turns to Mai. "Doesn't Shalelu speak goblin as well? She can help translate while we travel"

Edit Avatar: Why does it keep dropping to that avatar?

"Makes sense, let's go."

"Onee-sama knows it better than me."

Don't know.

Natara says to their new companion

Stehoney:

Natara leads the way to the gate. "Our guide says they left a trail. Let's see if we can spot it.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

The trail is easy to spot since something heavy was dragged.

"Does the goblin know if 'the bones' took something large from the village? Otherwise it looks almost like they wanted to be followed."

Stehoney:

"According to our guide, they found a 'big box of shinies', and the 'walking bones' came for it.

Stehoney:

Stehoney:

Stehoney:

Bump

Long weekend, and had a cold, sorry.

"Stehoney here says they found 'land ships' -wrecks, possibly?- and then a cave with the fireworks and other 'shinies' in it. They took what they could, then the walking bones came and took the stuff back."

Sir Alfric starts circling around, looking for the tracks of the creatures the Goblin spoke of.
Survival (Track): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

the trail is drag mark of a heavy chest, and you see skeletal foot prints.

Sir Alfric calls over his shoulder.
"I have the trail!"
As soon as the others form up, he'll proceed to follow the trail on point.

"After we check this out and deal with the skeletons and their creator, maybe we could look into those 'land ships'."

She follows Sir Alfric.

Stehoney:

Natara sighs. "Of course. He can't count."

Stehoney:
the goblin looks at his hands, and looks puzzled, looks at Natata

Radko falls in line, listening to Natara conversing with the goblin.
Such an awful tongue! Sounds like rusty iron doors screeching. The sight of a pretty girl making such sounds leaves a disturbing impression.

Stehoney:

perception checks please.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

you almost lose the trail a few times but spot where it resumes
and
Everything seems fine....

Of course it does. Now I'm really paranoid.

"It is so quiet... I wonder if 'the bones' are expecting us?"
Every minute or so Radko would pause for a spell of Detect Evil and Detect Magic.

Radko does not see anything evil or magical.

Sir Alfric continues to follow the trail.

Survival (Track): 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 7 + 1 = 26
Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

Natara continues to observe the area and the trail.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
