1d20+5
The firebolt closing in and for a moment, seems like it will succumb Aventi to fire... an eerie moment passes and time slows for Aventi. Bending his knees and back bending further and further backwards as he makes flip in mere second, bolt harmlessly passing above him.
Continuing his movement, shooting his leg towards doll with sweeping arc and twisting his body in air, landing to one arm and another kick flying almost identically and fast towards doll
FoB 1 1d20+4
Damage 1d6+2
FoB 2 1d20+4
Damage 1d6+2
as Aventi delivers the final blows to the doll is shatters to peices, procilin all over and the gem remaining intact and inactive.
Round 4 Action
5' step to E4 and hit Pestico with a color spray DC 16 Willpower save. If fails will at least be stunned for 1 round if 5th lvl or above.
He appears to resist the sprey of lumanus colours and remains standing.
2 Dolls
Both remaining dolls attack provoking attacks of oppitunity from Krenn and Curnach.
Curnach Curnach takes 1 point of damage as the doll stabs his food.
Krenn The attack bounces off Krenn's armour.
Tapestry's Doll
Tapestry's doll moves into Krenn to try and hit him with her spiked gauntlet which completely fails.
Tapestry snaps her whip at Pestico's wand again...
... then moves next to the old man.
To avoid being set on fire.
the eagle managed to get off another attack with it's charge and harmed Mr Pesico, he appears to be bleeding quite a bit and growing pale. The fire Curnach fires upon the doll once again burns it, but fails to set it ablaze.
The disarm fails to know the wand out of his hand.
Aventi's Doll
The doll once again provokes a AoO from Aventi as it goes to punch him rapidly.
FoB1
FoB2
Mrs Pestico
Once again this shambling doll attempts to get up but falls flat again, clearly the ground far too slippery for her to stand.
Round 5 Action
Jerin will step 5' back to E3 and begin to cast sleep.
AoO attack & damage
AoO attack 1d20+5 & damage 1d6+2
damage from the hit then.
Aventi's damage from the punch is still reduced however you can clearly see more cracks surfacing across the doll.
AOO Miss
Curnach steps back out of reach of the doll yet again, opting to begin summoning once more.
'You could just give up...' Tapestry suggests helpfully to the old dollmaker,'... it's got to beat what Krenn will do to both you and your dollies if you don't...'
Krenn Power-attacks Mr. Pestico
The blade of the axe hacks hard into the old man who just grows more pale and looking to Tapestry he drops the wand and puts his hands up.
"O-okey. I surrender. Family, return to your places..." as he says this all of them look to him and the rest of you, but then obey him returning to their places on the doll house. The Tapestry Doll leading the way as she uses her whip as a way to latch on and help the others climb up, using it as a rope.
Finally Mrs. Pestico, the large doll manages to get up however it's a bitter sweet victory as the battle is over since Mr. Pestico has surrendered.
'See,' Tapestry smiles sweetly at the old man, 'that wasn't so hard now, was it? If you'd just turn and put your hands behind your back...' she pulls out her manacles, and binds Pestico's wrists behind his back, adding, 'I usually charge for this sort of thing, you know... but in your case, Master Pestico, I think I'll wave my usual fees...'
Glancing towards the dollshouse, the devil-woman frowns a little,
'So, does that... um... "doll me" being alive... or animated, or whatever it is, effect me in any way? It's a lovely piece, and I'd hate to have to damage it if it's not doing any harm now.' She seems to be asking both Pestico and Jerin.
I would imagine to be animated so much like you, a part of you is trapped inside the doll. We'll likely need to destroy it to restore you.
"I needed a peice of your soul to create her. They share the personalities of those I take, but you will recover please do not destroy my little darlings..." he looks over at the one that was destroyed and sighs. "Rebuilding her will take a while. I just wanted to give them a family neither you or the monk had."
Jerin- how do we help Aventi and Tapestry recover?
Jerin- how do we help Aventi and Tapestry recover?
Jerin begins a technical description of some obscure magical ritual he has heard of, relishing in the pure beauty of it. When he looks up to several blank stares...
"Well enough of that...depending upon the severity of the damage it has done to you it may just take a day or two of rest. Now that we know the issue Tapestry might be able to diagnose you better than I on the exact time. To be honest this can be dangerous magic stealing souls. If enough is taken the subject could die."
If it was going to heal naturally you'd think it would have healed last night.
"Rebuilding her will take a while. I just wanted to give them a family neither you or the monk had."
'See,' Tapestry says to the group, her hand resting gently on the old man's shoulder, 'no harm meant... it just slipped Master Pestico's mind to ask our permission first!' Turning back to Pestico she asks, 'Do you think we could meet them properly now, without all the violence? I'd so love to talk to my "little sister"!'
I think I preferred the old man when he was trying to kill us all... Curnach grumbles quietly as he resumes his vigil at the door, checking to see if the brawl had attracted any attention and conveniently omitting himself from further discussion.

Mr Pestico seems a little confused that you would like to talk with her.
"They do have minds of their own. If they want to talk to you they will, but I don't think-" just then Grau and his men marched in looking around everyone in confusion.
"I see you beat us here heroes." Grau says putting away his sword. "One of his dolls killed a girl's father. First it destroyed all her other dolls, she got the blame for it by her father but then that night she witnessed the doll cut his throat. We're here to lock him up."
With them was a mage in a robe from the Academy. He appeared more focused on the dolls and seeing the similarity between them and certain members of the group.
I swear I locked that door... Damn these soldiers are stealthy, didn't see them coming either... Curnach mutters to himself.
Ooh, its you Grau! Nice to see you... yah, not sure about all this but death by one of these dolls? That is ... well, up to crown to decide. Assisting is our job, but not going to put my ass here Aventi comments from next to dollhouse as he looks at his doll.
Damn, I guess if I could teach it couple tricks and see some fighting move... could it make some stances?
Stopping and thinking Krenn question and as Aventi is answering, he stops and rethinks, but seems like he is unsure what to say actually I don´t honestly know. I can understand the old man and his desire and as he speaks, he look back to his doll However, for monks... soul and perfection is holy. He broke it by stealing piece of my soul but at same moment, something else was born out. I am not sure is this living or not, but I can´t destroy it just because of that. Everything is connected to something. This was once piece of me and now its individual being.
Ooh, its you Grau! Nice to see you... yah, not sure about all this but death by one of these dolls? That is ... well, up to crown to decide. Assisting is our job, but not going to put my ass here Aventi comments from next to dollhouse as he looks at his doll.
Damn, I guess if I could teach it couple tricks and see some fighting move... could it make some stances?
Grau looks at Aventi curiously.
"We will need to confiscate all these dolls for evidence. I'm glad you managed to catch him, I heard you have to be a powerful magic user to create such dolls." he points out "We've been spread thin I've had to come out personally for this one. We don't have much for payment...his trail will be backlogged so consider choice items as your payment."
Choice items from a wizards workshop. We will have to have a good look around and see what we can find! Mr. Pestico can you please let us know what items of magic you have on your person and within your house?
Jerin will start sweeping with detect magic over mr. pestico after his stated items have been removed and then start with the rest of the shop and house letting the others know if he finds anything that Pestico hasn't told them about already.
Choice items from a wizards workshop. We will have to have a good look around and see what we can find! Mr. Pestico can you please let us know what items of magic you have on your person and within your house?
Those paying attention see a sudden scowl on Tapestry's face at Jerin's renewing of his heartless mercenary status (in her mind at least), as she, almost literally, bites her lip to refrain from starting in on the wizard again. Instead she takes a deep breath, prays for divine Guidance, and turns to Grau,
'Grau, honey,' she says in her sweetest terms, 'what's going to happen to dear Master Pestico here? While I don't doubt what you say about one of his dolls killing, it seems like they are independent creatures once created - is he to be condemned for their crimes? You say you're short-handed, and that our Master doll-maker here is a powerful magic-user... wouldn't it be better for all if this old man, whose only crime seems to be loneliness, be allowed to work with us against the real threats to the city?'
Barely listening as he leans against the wall, Curnach thinks to himself quietly. Suddenly his intuition hits him as Tapestry begins speaking-
Something very wrong is happening... Curnach thinks with a shudder as he attempts to catch the conversation again.
Mr. Pestico sighs and looks over to Grau.
"If I do this, will I be given a lighter punishment." he askes and Grau simply nods.
"Working with the law will be brought up and you will be given more mercy." he looks to everyone as Mr. Pestico looks to Jerin.
"I have here a bag of holding type 2, which can take in more than the average bag of holding. The bracers I have are powerful bracers of armoured protection, a amulet of moderate power, Scroll of Dimension Door here and finally a the wand, that you can assume to be lightningbolt. I'm unsure of the charges but I think 23 as I have had to use it more often against attackers in the streets these past few days." he pauses for a moment as he considers this and as he cannot move his still manicled hands he points to his pocket "I have a key to the chest behind the counter. It also had my book which I won't be needing whilst inside."

1d20 + 7
Grau takes a deep breath thinking this over and shaking his head.
"In most situations he would be accused for the death as a Construct is still considered under the control of it's creator, however his co-operation with us and that he gave himself up will work in his favour, especially handing over items to adventures who are working for the guard will work out very well for him." he looks back at the dools, examining Tapestry's and then the others in the home. "I am sure if the court sees how lonly he is, as you have pointed out he might be let off lightly, but this won't be resolved for some time. On another note the Marshall wants to see you all.He moves over to Mr. Pestico and looks to the manicles and Tapestry, raising a eyebrow, but shrugging the thought off.
"We have our own manicles. Mr. Pestico has shown that he's willing to co-operate so you can remove yours and keep them for...personal use and we can use our own."
Mr. Pestico sighs and looks over to Grau.
"If I do this, will I be given a lighter punishment." he askes and Grau simply nods.
"Working with the law will be brought up and you will be given more mercy." he looks to everyone as Mr. Pestico looks to Jerin."I have here a bag of holding type 2, which can take in more than the average bag of holding. The bracers I have are powerful bracers of armoured protection, a amulet of moderate power, Scroll of Dimension Door here and finally a the wand, that you can assume to be lightningbolt. I'm unsure of the charges but I think 23 as I have had to use it more often against attackers in the streets these past few days." he pauses for a moment as he considers this and as he cannot move his still manicled hands he points to his pocket "I have a key to the chest behind the counter. It also had my book which I won't be needing whilst inside."
Jerin reaches in the old man's pocket and draws out the key. Do you have any magical protections on the chest Mr. Pestico? assuming no, he turns to the others, Should I go ahead and look in it or would one of you rather? If he has a spellbook we might find it of some use even if I just copy some spells from it and then we give it back to him when he serves out whatever punishment the city sees fit.
"We have our own manicles. Mr. Pestico has shown that he's willing to co-operate so you can remove yours and keep them for...personal use and we can use our own."
'Well, I guess if Master Pestico wants to be arrested...' Tapestry shrugs, removing her manacles from the old doll-maker, then turns back to Grau and adds, 'Just promise me you'll personally make sure he's treated well, Grau. Also...' she glances at her doll replica, and frowns a little, '... I'm not comfortable with "a piece of my soul" being in the hands of Academy wizards... I think Aventi and I should keep hold of the dolls animated with our souls, don't you?'
Listening speaking, but distracted and not reallz focusing on it, Aventi is still looking at his doll and thinking a flow of nature and karma.
His left eye squints, when he pick up the words of serving for the guard. Paying more attention what is going on and seeing how Tapestry is manipu... talking with Grau, Aventi grins. Seems like our girl has her hands in right place... ehehe
and idea of keeping their dolls in their possession. Curiously looking at others, Aventi asks Mr. Pestico So, its like as I understood these dolls are servants? Once given order or given someone else, they have to obey the new one? It seems to me... little bit cruel, since they are already partly living creatures. as he give a look from conrer of his eyes to his doll.
Streching his arm little bit forward and feeling his ribs and back little bit sore, a good night of sleeping would surely do good for him. Seems like that he had taken some damage, but nothing seriously, yet. Ah, something about stuff? and looks at others. Tapestry, Curnach and Krenn had armors, but surely as a casters they would need better one, expect Krenn. That one looked to be though. Jerin seems to not have anything, but then, he had his own magic to help. Thinking how to solve this Hm... Isn´t it better for some of our caster to get these... Armor bracers? Would do good to have them better secured at least. The amulet armor... uff, surely it seemed like he need alot of armor stuff. I just need to get better at using my head and body during fights and I guess these armors just will slow me down
The protection wooden armour and shield can give me is limited, thus I would like to claim the protective amulet with your approval. Often my summoning magic means I am at risk of our allies being disrupted. Curnach addresses his companions.

Jerin looks at Aventi curiously, The bracers will certainly not slow you down Aventi, their magic has no weight. he starts a dissertation about the power of protective magics and how if used in conjunction with each other could wield Aventi almost impervious to being damaged. As he looses the party, early on and mostly from lack of interest, he suddenly realizes and stops talking....Maybe you should take the bracers they will help you. My spells protect me well enough and this will give you almost the same level of proctection as my spells could. Not sure you would really need the scrolls after you put that thing on. Since we can't use the wand we might want to think about selling it. I believe it is worth a goodly sum and then Tapestry and Krenn could use the funds to procure some protective magics of their own?
With no one replying to him regarding his earlier question, he walks over to behind the counter and opens up the chest. Seeing the prize of the shop, a spellbook from a higher level wizard, he grasps it while trying to keep his hands steady.
... Since we can't use the wand we might want to think about selling it...
Obviously more than a little disturbed by people scrabbling for Master Pestico's possessions as if he were a dead relative, Tapestry's frown deepens,
'Is this justice then? A lonely old man is accused of a crime (which looks to hardly be his fault at all) and not only is he hauled away without evidence, trial or debate, but all his possessions are up for grabs to any sticky-fingered little wizards who happen along?' Folding her arms across her chest, Tapestry scowls, 'If I'd wanted to be a common footpad, I could have easily stayed in the gutter. If this truly is the Queen's justice (and not just the rank-and-file taking advantage by tossing an elderly craftsman's rights out the window and stealing all his stuff) then mayhap those who oppose her have the right idea!'
Tapestry words cause Aventi´s tic to twitch and moving quickly next to her as same time touching her shoulder Tapestry dear, I understand your concern and I think the same way. However, if Mr. Pestico is going to serve law and thus, joining to "our" side and they are going to charge him with less possible amount or just having him to help to keep streets much better place, then that is good trying to smile and calm down her
I know it sounds also bad and its rude, but as I said, I don´t really need anything and I am good with little I have and I have always been. However, if he himself, let´s say, borrow the equipment to us, that is better. sighing little bit and thinking for a while but dear Tapestry... the karma and the universe always goes around. Of course the doll killed a man and as its creator, he has some responsibility of its doings. It is same as with father and son, parents are always responsible of their kids doing until they are full-age and these dolls are not yet or at least I would not think them as adults. Aventi explains and try to think what to say. Tapestry... was young and she had her own way of seeing things for sure. Huoh, not all is fair or right, but we all try to make things go that way. Hopefully this is not causing any trouble to her
It is... one way and as older person than any of us, he also know this. Justice is ... fickle and it can be interpreted many ways. I am supporting the poor people and doing my best. I believe that Mr. Pestico is not bad person and he will help us. I will try to see that he will be served correctly. Is that possible for you to promise, Grau, that you will do your best for him?
Diplomacy
Curnach feels the need to placate and reason with his fellow Lamm-Victim at this point. He even goes as far as to put a sympathetic arm around Tapestry as he speaks, although the gesture is clearly difficult and alien to him.
We're not the justice system in this city Tapestry- and the judgement has been made by Mr. Grau. As for the old man's crimes- soul-stealing? The death of an innocent? Willing to use powerful magic against us before we even drew blades?
I am sure his personal regrets and demeanour will be taken into account at his trial- but his crimes are clear. If you wish to speak at his trial in his defence Tapestry, I am sure that can be arranged. Grau already mentioned the courts, so Pestico wll surely have a trial.
As for taking his possessions... You heard the guard captain. We can at least ensure that these powerful magics serve the city of Korvosa, not work against it. I am certain Zellara would agree.
... Since we can't use the wand we might want to think about selling it...

He nods to Tapestry lightly.
"He will be taken care of with great care. As I said there are so many being imprisoned that he won't be seen to yet." he explained as he looks around the group.Listening speaking, but distracted and not reallz focusing on it, Aventi is still looking at his doll and thinking a flow of nature and karma.

Grau looks back to the wizard in the robe in their group and then looks back to Aventi
"From what I've been told they are constructs, the souls being used to keep them alive. They only serve their owner and we do require them for evidence." he points out as they obviously can't just leave them there.

In the chest is 23,050 gold coins and the book you would've already taken. It's clasp is shut, but it's not locked by anything. It bears a resemblence to yours.

Some of the guards gasp at what you just said about the queen whilst others seem to give a coy smile.
You can tell Grau is one of the people who appears to agree on this subject, but hides it well.
"I would rarther see these possessions in your hands than left here for looters. The last thing I want is for the looters to have magical equipment to make them even harder to deal with." Grau explains in the hope of reaching a understanding.

"Well spoken. The last thing I want is for a group of my men coming across a band of looters only to be blown away by a magical bolt of lightning. We're spread pretty thin as it is."
Tapestry words cause Aventi´s tic to twitch and moving quickly next to her as same time touching her shoulder Tapestry dear, I understand your concern and I think the same way.

Diplomacy 1d20+2
"As I have said, I promis I will do everything in my power to see that he is treated properly, but I do have other work to do like trying to catch 'Black Jack'. he smiles to the others But that's a minor concern. To be honest he has been helping us by catching criminals and helping brince the peace as everyone respects him.
Listening to Aventi, Curnach, and finally Grau, Tapestry sighs and nods... then takes the opportunity to quickly plant a kiss on Curnach's cheek while she has the chance! Smiling at what she sees as a minor victory, she moves over to Master Pestico and gives the old man a hug and kiss on the cheek too,
'I'm sorry for all this... confusion... Master Pestico,' she says quietly, 'hopefully this will all get sorted out and you can reclaim your property from us - we'll do our best to keep it safe. I...' she glances at Grau, then adds, '... I think you can trust Captain Soldado to make sure you're well treated.'
Leaning a little closer to whisper in Pestico's ear, the tiefling woman finishes with,
'Once you're free again, if you're interested, I could take on the image of your wife if you feel the urge to pretend a little... I wouldn't be her, of course, but I may be able to help ease your loneliness... if only for a while.'
You may all want to see this.... he says to the other group members after Grau leaves with Pestico in tow. To any of the others that come around to behind the counter, I am not sure what you want to do with all of this... he points towards a veritible mountain of gold, silver, and platinum within the chest, Jerin just kind of stands there in awe of that amount of gold. Open up the spoiler with my name on it...
