Corsario's Murder's Mark

Game Master Corsario

Perception DC WHAT?!

Before we get too far into combat I have new spells known lists for approval

0 level-
Detect magic
Open/close
Read magic
Unwitting Ally

1st level-
Grease
Touch of Gracelessness

Of course if the GM prefers I keep the original list I can do that as well.

Looks good...

And yes... you have a snowball chance in hell to pass that perception check :P
But that is not Aliana's worst problem :D

I'm not even trying for that DC. :)

Oh, probably not. This has "trap" written all over it. And I even made the "mistake" of frustratedly asking what we were missing. That's DEFINITELY when the thing jumps out and comes after us. :D

I'm sure that DC will change in light of the light spell. :)

About that "lost" scene with Aliana's mother...

Alexite exits the room as if nothing had happened, and in fact gives a flower to Aliana's mother.
She stands there, slack jawed, not knowing what to say, looking at the flower.
She tells Aliana that the guards need her at the Umbra Carnival, and waits for her to get dressed.
When Aliana is finally ready, she can only say:
"Was that Alexite Ilsurian?"

Ah...yes. He asked me to go on a walk through the Carnival after Madame Delisen brought out Jherizhana. And we went through the zoo with Sister Woodmere and Mr. Flavion - they were there to check on the conditions of the animals, but it was fascinating to get to hear them discuss them all! And then, ah... Aliana blushes fiercely, out of embarrassment over the circumstances rather than shame or regret.

I thought it would be best not to disturb you and Papa, so we came here...for some privacy. She gathers her mug from the small nightstand, where she had abandoned it upon Alexite's arrival. I put some money in the till for the night tea.

Going out for a while, I will continue in the afternoon
BTW: No the DC was WITHOUT darkness... but Elric and Alexite (only) can move into the vault if they want to...

I get home, and go. 46 new posts in discussion and gameplay O.o and then, oh, I read all of these while at work. Good, my intended actions still work.

Yeah, bit of a flurry of activity this morning. :)

That's what happens when they have me awake all night at work...
Were where we?

You prefer everyone posting in order, or is it cool if we go ahead and post without waiting? I've seen GMs that prefer it both ways.

EDIT: I mean, of course my course of action doesn't change much either way...hooray Constitution check to stabilize and lying unmoving at the bottom of a hole...

I would prefer to see what Pavo does, and then the rest...
I mean, you can try and stabilize, but then what if someone heals you?

No worries, I'll wait. :)

I was totally thinking about drinking my Dex mutagen, too, but I changed my mind at the last minute. I think it would have made the difference. >.<

We'll Photoshop some badass sunglasses on Pavo, since he lost his crown and we can't seem to find a deputy badge. :)

Way to go PAVO!

By the way, happy 4th of July, everyone!

Yay! Happy 4th!

Don't blow yourselves up. Happy 4th everyone

Now, did you know... Declaration of Independence was signed on July 2nd?

Wasn't signed by everyone until well into August. But hey, we needed a day set for partying. :p

I know there is no pathfinder mechanic for "he has a knife on his neck" but I expect the Pcs to react like in the real world, not wanting Orlin to get "shiv".

I feel like Alex's personality has changed somehow. :)

Eh, not too much. :) And remember, his family does have a safe deposit box in here. The stuff he saves might be his own, if he keeps me from pitching Molotov cocktails around. ;)

I the player have no/nil issues with Aliana's talking.

I however do think it's a hysterical situation to have the nature loving harmonious half-orc who loves and respects language, and therefore it's judicious use...

...experience someone who loves to talk.

That is his role, negotiator, facilitator, diplomat.

You wound me, good sir half orc. Language was clearly meant to be used copiously for maximum enjoyment. :)

It's funny, actually - IRL, I'm totally more toward the quiet, quality-not-quantity-of-conversation end of the spectrum. But somehow, inexplicably, Aliana became a chatterbox. It's just how it goes sometimes. :)

Yeah I haven't had a chance to read the whole story and get what his characters attitude was and he had no fluff on his Character sheet... sry if it's throwing you guys off lol

My comment was more towards the fact that the character changed players. :)

Haha, I got ya. :)

Nice going guy! Well played in my absence. You defused it right, and Aliana's trait is paying off. (I was worrying for a minute she wouldn't). Give me a couple hours to make the next post. It will be somewhat big, I fear. But you are now on your way to find the real culprit.

I'd have probably taken the time for a Take 20 during interrogation if I hadn't had Orlin's assist, but he definitely helped out. (Thanks, mate.) I just wanted to make sure I figured out that SOMETHING was up with them. The dice have not been my friends lately, so I figured Take 10 was the safe bet.

Drat! I had been REALLY hoping to get a few answers to our questions BEFORE leaving the security of the vault, but alas, unable to post that from work. Alrighty, lets see what I can do to stop this...

Your welcome!

I have full confidence you will be able to stop the lynching (without provoking a full riot as Pavo is about to :S)

I can't promise there will be no riot, but I certainly tried my best to stop a lynching!

Oh Pavo has every intention of provoking a riot, but I will give others a chance to voice concerns before I...get physical.

Sorry everyone. I was flying back to California from New York today. And my layover flight was delayed due to a lightning storm. Just got home and the kids are asleep. It's now after midnight.

I'm trying to catch up on the posts, but the Sandman is calling so very dearly...

That's why they hired us. ;) And you're wrong, Pavo - it was clearly Miss Scarlet, in the Study, with the Revolver.

There is no way that's true. Cursario banned the gunslinger class. There are no revolvers. :)

With the strange device powered by infernal alchemical concoctions propelling small projectiles through short, guiding tubes that could in no way be considered a gun. :)

You are closer than you think about who and how did it ;)

I'm all for turning them loose if they provide the 'masterminds.' I'm a little worried about letting them go, getting a name that's wrong, and then trying to find them, but hey, i'm not law enforcement either.

Knowing who's behind everything, and proving it, are entirely different things ;)

No see, Aliana's right. We help the skulks until they're willing to be our friends, then we become honorary members of their tribe, the we have an invisible army of assassins to use to right the wrongs against our society. We just need to be able to get them all to say "I'm Batman" with some convincing.

Trying to move the plot along without stepping all over Elric's investigation.

Let me know if I overstep.

That was EXACTLY Aliana's plan. O.O

No toe stepping at all! I really like the direction you've all taken this and am happy to have Elric go that direction as well.

I was really hoping for Elric to be more of a forgiving individual than a hard ass cop. Although sometimes he does have to be hard ass, like when he tried to cast the spell to disarm the skulk before negotiating with her. Remove the threat and their position of strength, then bargain. Fortunately, with the excellent role playing everyone has performed, it didn't have to come to that.

I do want him to follow the law as best as he is able, but I made him NG instead of LG so he would also do what is right when the law is wrong. For example, the Sheriff gave him a direct order to not investigate any crime that happened on Carnival grounds, and I did not want to have Elric obey that order if it meant lives were in danger.

Not gonna lie, Pavo's kind of adorable when he's nervous/pissed off. :)
