Chronicles of the Silver Rose Company

Game Master Patrick Curtin

The group troops out of the market tents and heads down the narrow shaded road named Lots Lane. A large tavern rollicks at the beginning of the road, the sign reading The Bottle & Jug. Several passed out bubbers lie in the filthy road. There is the sound of several bubbers drunkenly singing off key and urinating in the alley to its side.

The sound of footsteps alerts you all to the advance of some ugly-looking bully boys and bub bashers headed your way, swords unsheathed.

Roll me some group initiative!

Raw initiative:1d20=14
That would give Isaac a 17.

as she talks, glad to be able to provide some small help, even if only for a little while.[/i]

Nari gets to know the woman, who goes by the handle 'Naught'. She explains her birth name has a lot of strange sounds that Cagers can't pronounce easily, and she's used to Naught. She's a Bleaker, and she has been in Sigil for about a month, putting in some time here helping out before she sets off to the planes again.

"I like to travel, and hopefully someday I'll find something to help folks more than serving bread and soup," She says

Any specific questions?

Seph is petted and fawned over by several dirty Hive toddlers in line with their mothers for some food. He gets the feeling that they don't get a lot of time with domestic animals. Several of the line waiters lick their lips when they see Seph's glossy fur, probably wondering how much they could get for his pelt and how good his flesh might taste in a stew.

Anyone else have actions?

That roll gives Drazek a 17 as well.

17 here as well. Looks like we'll be working together as a cohesive Team.

Alerted to the oncoming thugs, Bethany throws off Drazek's Coat and reaches into her Quiver, drawing forth a wickedly serrated wooden blade and turning towards the toughs, Drazek at her side.

"Naught, I was wondering something. My group was hired to find a man by the name of Eliath, sometimes called Eli. Did he ever come down here?" Nari shrugs. "He disappeared mysteriously and anything that I can find out about him might help. Since he disappeared in the Hive this was the logical place to ask around. And I get to help hand out food, too, which makes this not a wasted trip in my opinion whether we find any information or not," she adds with a smile. She seems much more at peace here than normal, often smiling at Seph and his antics.

17 as well! Dang! They won't know what hit'em! ;P

At the motions of Drazek and Bethany, Justin notices the group approaching and mutters a few choice words under his breath. He tugs his coat open to make access to his dark blade easier, but doesn't draw it. He steps to the side, placing himself behind the others, but allowing him a clear view of the approaching group.

"Hiyas! Nice day for a stroll in the rain, isn't it?" Justin calls to the toughs with a smile as he tugs an unnoticed-till-now medallion from where it has been tucked under his shirt and lets it hang visible on his chest. He lets his arms hang loosely at his sides, but his gloved fingers flex,...

As soon as Merle realises the looks some people are giving Seph she returns the favour by trying to look like she might eat them if they try anything

Intimidate

1 d 20 + 7=16

Seph himself just ignores the more worrying looks some people give him and continues to play with the children happy to be able to help in some small way.

"We all do what we can," Karrin says, "I think what you're doing here is good. I wish I had a bit more time to help people. A little kindness goes a long way. But these days I can only help out between jobs . . . but sometimes I can do both, do my job and do some good. We're currently tracking a mage by the name of Eliath but we think we might be able to solve these strange . . ."

Karrin glances over at the people in the soup line to ensure no one is listening too carefully to her discussion. Mentioning these murders might cause panic.

"These strange barny murders," Karrin practically whispers, "We think it could be somehow connected."

>>NEW MAP<<

Just putting it up to show you the relative spacing. I'll have more time to coreograph the fight scene tonight..

"Naught, I was wondering something. My group was hired to find a man by the name of Eliath, sometimes called Eli. Did he ever come down here?" Nari shrugs.

She seems much more at peace here than normal, often smiling at Seph and his antics.

Naught frowns

"The name doesn't ring a bell. Was he a bubber? Or a Brimstone sniffer? He do the pesh? I can usually remember folks pretty well if I have a description."

Naught smiles at Nari

"At least you like to help. Most berks just stroll in here and ask questions without so much as a by-your-leave."

"These strange barny murders," Karrin practically whispers, "We think it could be somehow connected."

Karrin, you are addressing Naught?

Naught starts

"Murders?" She hisses

"Who's getting penned in the dead book?"

As soon as Merle realises the looks some people are giving Seph she returns the favour by trying to look like she might eat them if they try anything

Intimidate

1 d 20 + 7=16

Merle intimidates the starers. They are mostly stick-thin rageddy men anyway. One scowls and makes a sign of the evil eye at Merle.

Seph himself just ignores the more worrying looks some people give him and continues to play with the children happy to be able to help in some small way.

The smugy toddlers coo and pet the small cat

"Kitty mama! Kitty! "

"Eli is a wizard. As far as I know he didn't indulge in any addictive substances. He was looking for some sec- er, darks, and then he disappeared into the Hive. He was wearing some sort of wizardy robe. I don't really know much more than that."

Karrin Kind wrote:

Karrin, you are addressing Naught?

Naught starts

"Murders?" She hisses

"Who's getting penned in the dead book?"

Nari gives Karrin a silencing look, and speaks quietly so as not to be overheard by the people in line. "Supposedly the fellow we're looking for was killed, but we only have the word of a somewhat suspicious female. She's a Collector, but she's new and there may be something not quite right going on. For all we know Eli might have paid off the Collector to tell people he was dead. While we've been looking for him we've heard rumors of other disappearances in the Hive though, also supposedly dead. We're still investigating. If you happen to know of anyone else who's disappeared lately, that might help us find a pattern, and figure out what's going on."

Merle after seeing off the perceived threat decides to settle down next to the others and try her hand at serving the unfortunates all the while keeping one eye on Seph.

I'll just post my actions for when the fight starts proper.

Isaac's face goes cold as he pulls a long, finely crafted spear out of his quiver (which should be far too small to hold it). The long spear has the Godsmen symbol embossed toward the base of the leaf-shaped blade opposite his own maker's mark, a stylized tree with a ring going through the trunk. No gregarious banter, no warnings or offers of parley; he picks cheap shots where he can get them and uses the weapon's reach to maximum effect.
MWK longspear: 1d20+5=18, 1d8+3=7

At the first indication of violence on either side Drazek takes a single step forward, strange words leaving his lips as his hands begin a twirling motion.

Dark pulsating energy coalesces in his hands coming to form a wicked looking glaive made of solid black light. The weapon generates a deep ominous hum as he whirls it toward the thug 10 feet ahead of him ignorng armor and shield to bite into his enemy with bone searing cold.

Touch attack 1d20+5=20, 2d6=9

He continues to twirl the weapon with a flourish daring any to enter his deadly range

Glaive will remain until his next turn allowing attacks of opportunity to any passing within 10 ft.

Bethany twirls the wicked weapon in front of her as she begins to sing.

Take heart my friend in sagas old
And learn from their valiant tales.
Be brave and see your purpose done
And your foes be downed like ales.

Perform (Sing) Check for Inspire Courage. (1d20+9=13)
Inspire Courage (sorry about the cheesy lyrics it was a rush job).
Lasts for 5 rounds after she finishes singing.
Just a clarification: can she attack while singing? I'm not sure, as in the Bardic Music description it says "Even while using a bardic
performance ability that doesn’t require concentration, a bard cannot cast spells, activate magic items by spell completion (such as scrolls), or activate magic items by magic word (such as wands)."
It doesn't say Attacking.

Pretty sure you canmake melee an ranged attacks as long asyou aren't playing an instrument rquiring your hands.

The way I read it, you need one round to set the effect up, but you can stop playing then and it lasts 5 rounds. At least that's the way my bard Pip rolls ..

Initiatives:

Party: 17
Bully boys: 14

The seven dark-cloaked toughs advance. Issac's spear hits one, gashing his side deeply. Drazek's dark energy glaive hits another, causing that ruffian to howl in pain as well. Bethany's singing inspires the others to new heights of action.

Justin, then the mooks get their turn ..

... If you happen to know of anyone else who's disappeared lately, that might help us find a pattern, and figure out what's going on."

Naught looks upset

"I don't know nothing about no killer. How horrible! As if this place ain't bad enough! You should go talk to Factol Lhar, you should."

Merle and Karrin help with the line of dripping Hivers looking for a meal. The watery soup and black bread bowls start to make Karrin's tummy rumble.

Yeah I know the first round it is a Standard Action to set up the effect, but then in the subsequent rounds can she continue to sing and still attack is what I am asking (I am hoping this fight won't go for much more than 5 rounds, but just in case). The above text from the BETA Rules says that she can't cast spells and such while singing, but it doesn't say anything about being able to attack while singing. If she can't than I'm fine, she'll just set up the effect and stop singing, making it last for an extra 5 rounds, I just thought that if the battle does go for more than 5 rounds I might as well keep singing while I attack.

"That sounds like someone we'd like to talk to for sure," Karrin says, "where can we find Factol Lhar?"

Karrin's hand subconsciously reaches into her never ending ration's hand bag to find something to nibble on to tide her over till they can find a proper place to eat.

Well, my take on it (and to make bards a little better than singing buff machines) is that they CAN cast spells and such. That's my DM fiat. What point is a bard if they have to keep performing to keep the Inspire Courage up? Nope, in my games the bard does the standard action in rd 1, then the effect is in place for 5 rounds, NO MATTER what else the bard wants to do ...

"That sounds like someone we'd like to talk to for sure," Karrin says, "where can we find Factol Lhar?"

Naught shrugs

"He keeps his kip up on the fifth floor."

She points to the tall open-roofed tower that surrounds the circular plaza

"You'll be better off talking to Factor Sruce, in the Mad Bleaker Wing. She's got Lhar's ear, and can get a message to him. She's usually in Inprocessing over there."

Naught points to a line of folks entering the tower.

" Ask for her assistant Grendyll and tell her that Naught sent you over."

Sorry for the delay,

Justin's eyebrow goes up as both Isaac and Bethany pulls weapons out of items too small to possibly hold them without the use of magic, 'Hm, they're bigger on the inside', he thinks to himself. He raises the other eyebrow to join the first as Drazek materializes a glaive of dark energy, and tears into the nearest street tough while he is still 10' away!

Justin looks peeved as he momentarily bemoans the lost opportunity to dazzle the enemy with his rapier wit, then shrugs as he plucks a bit of mystic flotsam from one of his vest pockets.

"Meh, It was a boring conversation anyway." Justin mutters as he quickly waggles his fingers in a particular pattern. The golden stars on the knuckles of his blue gloves flash as he completes the gestures. There is a flash, and the gestures he made seem to leave an image in the air, a floating rune of mystic fire. Holding his hands in the rune, he cries,

"Fuego! Venitas Fuego!"

Justin's hands are covered in flames, which hiss in the dreary rain, but still flare brighter at his oddly echoing shout. He points his finger at the thug directly in front of Bethany, and the flames leap from his hand in a thin ray to strike the bully-boy in the chest.

1d20+5=19, 4d6+1=20

OK, Ray Of Flame (from Spell compendium) on thug nearest Bethany. BAse spell is 1d6 dmg per 2 caster lvls, AND must make Reflex save vs DC:16
or catch fire and take ANOTHER 1d6 dmg each round until save is made. (Although I imagine he gets a bonus to that save for being in the rain!)

OK, BASE dmg is 1d6 per 2 caster lvls. Or 2d6 at lvl 4. +1CL for Thematic spell (Thematic spell Feat), +1CL for being Evocation (VArisian Tattoo Feat), +2CL to a 1st lvl spell for use of Arcanist's gloves (usable 2/day) for a total Caster Level of 8 and 4d6 Dmg, +1 pt dmg to the spell for my being an evoker. (Wait till you see what I can do with a 2nd lvl spell!) ;P

EDIT- Oops! Too tired,... Forgot to add my Bound Amulet, which has two enchantments on it, including 'EMpowered Spellshard: Ray of Flames' 3/day add Empowered to the attuned spell when cast, so add 50%, (+10 pts) of dmg to the spell for a total of 30 fire dmg.

Going bed now,... nighters

A fine case of arson

The stream of firey energy lashes out from Justin's hands and wraps one of the bully boys in a caul of flame. The Hiver thug shreiks, his skin melting off his bones with the fury of the arcane spell. He drops into a filthy puddle and a hissing fog of ordure-scented moisture erupts.

Zing-GOW!

The narrowness of the street acts as a barrier, and only two of the thugs can bring their short swords to bear. the others flip Hiver shivs at the party.

Sword, Bethany: 1d20+4=22, Sword Drazek: 1d20+4=10, Shiv Bethany: 1d20+4=8, Shiv Drazek: 1d20+4=21, Shiv Issac: 1d20+4=14, Shiv Justin: 1d20+4=23

Sword damage Bethany: 1d6+2=8, Shiv Drazek: 1d4=1, Shiv Justn: 1d4=4

One thug's sword bites deep into Bethany's side, drawing a gout of bright red blood. A flipped shiv gashes Drazek's ear, a runnel of blood drips down his neck. Justin is hit in the thigh with another of the slim shanks, the rusty blade sinking into his flesh almost to the hilt.

I'm going to need a Perception roll from all

Justin and Issac suddenly feel a wave of dizziness envelop them

Will save DC 17 please from Issac and Justin

A crowd of Night Market patrons start to notice the brawl, and begin to crowd about. Faces can be seen pressed against the Bottle & Jug's small barred windows cut into its black stone facade. A pair of lagre ugly goblinoids flank the tavern's entrance, and bar it against entry by anyone.

Perception Check. (1d20=2)

A hiss escapes Bethany's mouth as the thug's blade finds it's mark, scoring a red line in her side. She concentrates her attack on the cur that hit her, to the exclusion of her surroundings.
Attack Thug with Masterwork Sawtooth Sabre (Inspire Courage). (1d20+7+1=20)
Damage (Inspire Courage). (1d8+1=9)

Initiatives Rd 2:

Party: 17
Bully boys: 14

Bethany's sabre finds a home in the thug's neck. He gurgles as she rips the serrated blade out of him and falls to the filthy, rain-soaked street, his lifeblood flowing into the mire.

Perception: 1d20+11=19 (21 if sight/sound based)
Will save: 1d20+1=13 (15 vs. enchantment spells, immune to magical sleep)
It had to be a will save. Should I wait for the results before putting down another action?

Nope you are good ..

The dizziness passes Issac as soon as it comes

Perception roll:

Shrugging off the enchantment, Isaac looks over his shoulder and curses.
"Oh, you'll pay for that, berk."
The half-elf shifts the grip on his spear and charges down Lot's Lane through the mud and slop.
Charge attack: 1d20+8=21, 1d8+4=6 This includes +2 attack for charge and +1 for Bethany's inspire courage. Isaac has a -2 on his AC during the next round. If the street counts as difficult terrain, he'll still go for the mage with a regular attack without the charge.

No, the street, while muddy and filthy, is still relatively level, so I'll call it regular terrain

Issac goes charging off towards the dark cloaked figure, feet splashing through the filth-ridden puddles. He closes the gap and sticks the figure with his spear. The figure hisses and shouts out a word in Infernal:

Infernal

Issac hears a snorting hooting noise from a side alleyway. A large gorilla sporting ram's horns and large pointy teeth advances towards him. The large ape's pelt is black as midnight, except for a red blaze of fur on his chest. His eyes glow redly as he swipes a claw at Issac

As one of the thugs winds up for his throw Drazek whirls the glaive around his neck to strike high. Attack of opportunity on the first to make a ranged attack withing 10 feet of him 1d20+6=13, 2d6+1=9

As the tossed blade draws blood Drazek grins, the shallow wound already beginning to close Yay DR1/cold iron.

His grin dies when he hears Bethany's gasp of pain. With a snarl of rage the Glaive seems to vanish then reappear his movements momentarily interspersed with a complex hand motion.

His eyes emanate a vermillion glow as the shadows seem to deepen for a second, blood red motes flow up the length of the weapon as he takes a step forward 5ft step and brings the glaive down in an overhand strike that passes cleanly through his opponent. Touch attack 1d20+6=26, 4d6+1=24 Confirmation touch attack 1d20+6=12, 4d6+1=22 total damage if crit confirms= 46 pionts.
Mortal bane feat 1 application adds 2d6 to eldritch glaive this round and lasts until next turn. Will take aoa's on anyone passing through his space or using ranged weapon (10ft)

Perception 1d20+1=19

some bad azz damage

Drazek's spinning glaive slices deeply into one of the dagger-tossing goons, causing a howl of pain. Drazek's glaive then literally spits one of the thugs from crown to crotch, the two bifurcated pieces falling to the side.

A brace of cheers erupt from the gathering crowd as Greens pass back and forth between betters. A bawdy jinkskirt blows Drazek a kiss.

Perception Drazek:

Can Isaac figure anything out about his attackers?
Knowledge: The Planes 1d20+7=26
Knowledge: Local 1d20+6=19
Damn, I hope I'm not wasting these good rolls for when I really need them.

Issac Knowledge:

Will Save: 1d20+6=19

Yay Wizzie Will save bonus!

Justin shouts in pain as the dagger plunges deep into his leg, not a cry of agony, but he definitely ain't happy either. He instinctively reaches for the dagger to pull it out, but pauses a wave of weariness washes over him. He shakes it off, and glares up at the thugs.

Perception: 1d20+5=22

"You lot aren't clever enough to cast, so who,...?" Justin looks around in time to see Isaac charge back up Lot's Lane and attack a cloaked figure with his spear. And see the larger figure that steps from an alley to swipe at Isaac!

"Whoa, that's big!" Justin mutters under his breath.

"Draz, Beth! These clowns are a distraction! We're being flanked!" Justin cries as he aims his palm past Beth's shoulder again. You can catch a glimpse of a small lens in his palm before he cries, "Fuego! Venitas Fuego!". Once again a glowing, fiery glyph appears in the air, and Justin sticks his hand in it. His hand is covered in flames, which pulse in time with a flash from his amulet, before streaming off towards another thug,...

Same as before, Ray of Flame, (Touch Attack) with Amulet boost, also adding +1 to hit/dmg thx to Lady Beth

To hit: 1d20+6=22, Dmg: 4d6+2=19

Plus 50% Dmg, total of 29 pts fire dmg?

"Can you hold these guys? I think Isaac needs help!"

"Got it! Go!"

Looking over his shoulder at Bethany

"Jus' you 'n me pretty bird, let's show 'em what happens when ya piss us off"

Another thug is wrapped in firey agony and falls into the muddy street. The three thugs left suddenly become two as one's morale breaks and he darts off into the crowded tents of the Night Market. The final two snarl and bring their swords to bear.

They are using Power Attack to shift 4 pts of atk to damage, which is doubled since they swing their swords two-handed

1d20=10, 1d6+8=14, 1d20=8, 1d6+8=10

Whiff

The two thugs miss with their swings. One is bleeding pretty badly from Drazek's glaive strike.

Down the road Issac's hooded foe takes a 5' step back and vanishes into thin air. The large ape swipes at Issac with a taloned paw:

ATK: 1d20+7=22, Dam: 1d6+5=11

The claws rake Issac, and the ape roars in triumph

NEW ROUND!!

Grinning wickedly Drazek Whirs the glaive around agin, slashing the already wounded thug. Touch attack 1d20+6=16, 2d6+1=12

Assuming it's enough As the thug drops he dashes after the fleeing bully boy. Move 30 ft after the escaping thug

"This one's yours georgeous, I'll take the runner."

...

"This one's yours georgeous, I'll take the runner."

Drazek's glaive finishes off his opponent with an economical slice and he darts off after the fleeing thug. The many ragged tents in the market are cloaked in rain, and the area is crowded with rubberneckers. Some cry out as Drazek runs:

"Oi! Get back there yeh poltroon!"

Give me a Perception roll please

At one with the shadows Drazek's adrenaline heightens everything Perception1d20+1=21

Drazek glimpses the fleeing thug as he darts through some tents ahead. He is going full bore and weaving through the market like an old hand.

He is running full out, trying to lose Drazek. He has the jump and he is a native of the area. If you want to continue the chase, give me an Acrobatics check. If you run after him, I'll also need another Perception check for Drazek to keep the thug in sight. If you have a ranged attack, you can try to hit the fleeing thug, but there is a chance of hitting a tent or bystander (not that that means much in the Hive)

Looking over his shoulder at Bethany

"Jus' you 'n me pretty bird, let's show 'em what happens when ya piss us off"

Bethany grins and replies, "these bastards won't know what hit them."

She sees Drazek drop his opponent and go rushing off in pursuit of a cowardly thug, before bringing her own blade around upon her opponent in a vicious swing.

The serrated sword bites deeply into the thug's arm, laying open a wide gash. Blood gouts out in a red wave and the ferret-faced man looks wide-eyed at the harpy, seeing his death in her eyes
