Female Dwarf Gunslinger 5(Pistolero)

Can I remove the plank or the leaves stealthily to toss the bead in or what?


The huts are lifted off the ground. It would take a DC10 climb check to get up the few feet necessary to get to the window, but then it would be no problem to move some leaves aside and toss the bead inside.

Gatherine eyed the stilts that held the hut off the ground with a frown.Why did everything she come across mock her short limbs?!

As if to prove that the lock architecture was teasing her,her attempt to climb ended miserably and she promptly slid back into the sand.She made sure to land on her arse as quietly as possibly--not making so much as as a rustle.She swiped at the layer of sweat beading her brow.

In an impressive show of her dexterity and nimbleness,the plump she dwarf bounced from the ground and onto the deck of the hut,landing lightly on her tiptoes.Then she slid over to the window,peeled back a leaf,and flicked one of the larger beads through the opening.

She held up Sneezy Dragon,already loaded with a parchment cartridge as she braced herself for the explosion of flame.As an afterthought,she flattened herself against the wall away from the window in case flames gouged from it.But close enough to strike anything that might emerge from it.

Like a smoldering monkey and a wicked old crone cannibal!!


Female Human (varisian) Magus 5

Whispering "Get ready for anything,now they know we are here for sure"

Iolana smiles ironically to Syndlara e Mugambi.


Female Dwarf Gunslinger 5(Pistolero)

Pffft...That'll light a fire under their arses!HA!

There is an explosion inside the cabin...the blast even buckles the wall against which Gatherine was standing. She is knocked from the edge of the platform. The center of the explosion appears to have been where the two cabins intersect. Those walls are destroyed. The roof and a few dangling boards continue to burn as you hear shrieking inside.
The northeastern-most cabin door open as flames drip from the thatched roof above. An old woman comes out onto the platform... staggering the first couple steps with the aid of an odd globe-topped staff covered in vines.
A monkey with a half-burned face climbs onto her shoulder from behind, then hops on top of her staff; balancing on the glowing blue orb on her staff. She looks mussed and disheveled, but not terribly injured by the blast.
She immediately begins gesturing and chanting. The monkey hops down to the platform before the staffwaving becomes too violent.

Gatherine was bucked from the platform by the violence of the blast.Once again she proved her considerable nimbleness by curling into a ball and bouncing with the force of the explosion,landing on both feet in the sand below in an impressive somersault.

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12Initiative

She saw the wizened old crone come wobbling out of the burning wreckage,the monkey sporting fresh burns on its mankey body.She frowned when she realized she was only a bit rattled,not severely hurt as she hoped.

Gatherine smirked meanly and raised Sneezy Dragon.Well,she was gonna have to fix that!

She aimed at the old witch to disrupt her spellcasting.The dragon pistol sneezed thunder and blue smoke.

Whoa! Syn got a crit!

Gatherine noticed something she'd overlooked due to the smoke and flame---to her horrified disgust,she realized the shriveled old hag was nude!!

Oh Gods,my eyes!Eeeeeew! Kill 'er before I go blind! This is worse than that time that blue half- goblin bastard kidnapped me and tried to seduce me. So much worse than that! she wailed,averting her eyes with tears streaming down her face.

From the smoke or from seeing the old cannibal's wrinkly bits,she wasn't sure.


The hag's eyes widen as she quickly finishes her casting... covering herself with a shimmering bluish light. She sees Iolana's arcane bolts as they slam into her. "So!...the vision has come..." She then turns her gaze toward Gatherine. "The golden sisters and flamefist-" She reflexively cringes as the shot goes off from Sneezy Dragon. When she pulls her arms and staff from her face - smoking and pitted from the shot, Syndlara is there to deliver the killing blow. The wrinkled crone drops without a sound.
The monkey screeches and hops in the air. It whips its tail at Syndlara... unnaturally barbed like a little scorpion stinger. It then scampers behind the body of its fallen master.

Gatherine fired at the monkey,giving a frustrated stamp of her foot when both shots from Twinbellows hit the fallen crone,who was surely dead now. She reloaded Sneezy Dragon and made her way closer to get a better shot before it tried to scamper off.She didn't want an evil monkey spying on her in the future!

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22Acrobatics

She bounced up onto the platform near Syndlara,landing with a heavy thump that rattled the planks since she didn't bother with stealth or grace.She aimed Sneezy at the corpse and the monkey cowering behind it.


Round 2

Gatherine-move and double barrel shot miss
Iolana -
Syndlara -
Mugambi-
monkey

Gatherine's shots hit the platform and the fallen hag. She missed the monkey. The monkey screeches with an over-expressive open mouth look of horror at the continued abuse of its master.

(-4 to hit when you shoot both barrels at once)

You start to hear yelling from the northwest... going from a few reactive scattered cries to calls to action from several others. "Malikadna! Fire! ... The big boom... It is Malikadna's hut! It is burning! Malikadna! ... Klorek! You three go see!... you others get water! "

"At least sounds like we took down one of the leaders. This would have been a good position to defende ourselves, pity it is on fire.Let's go back on the path where we'll be able to see the new foes."

Gatherine pulled the trigger on Sneezy Dragon and surprised herself at the amount of recoil when it bucked in her hand,belching thunder,flaring sparks,and smoke.

The screeching monkey was hurled backwards off the corpse of its slain master from the force,it's burned body bursting into bits of gore.

I.HATE.MONKEYS!!!Gatherine declared.


Oracle lvl 4 [ HP 26/34 | AC 21 T 12 FF 19 | CMD 17 | F +3 R +3 W +3 | Init +2 Per -2]

The tribesman casts detect magic and moves near the witch.


Female Human (varisian) Magus 5

Are we still following initiative? Iolana'll anyway keep watch on the path,but not sure if she can take any more actions.


Female Dwarf Gunslinger 5(Pistolero)

Shouldn't somebody snatch that staff she had?


Oracle lvl 4 [ HP 26/34 | AC 21 T 12 FF 19 | CMD 17 | F +3 R +3 W +3 | Init +2 Per -2]

I will if its magical


Yes Gath... I know you are no fan of monkeys, but try to stay in initiative order.

Mugambi:

You see multiple auras
five auras. The most potent is a moderate aura.
The staff is the most potent. Her ring, and three knitted items (two blue spheres, and a seahorse) are all faint auras.

Iolana checking path:

You move to where you can see the skeleton pen while staying partially concealed. You see the skeletons starting to get riled up... facing west again. You then see two cannibals start to pass in front of the pen coming toward you. They appear to be preoccupied enough with staying an arms reach away from the skeletons to have noticed you yet.
I'm assuming you are around (R,12) when you look down the path. The cannibals are at (I,11) and (H,10) when you notice them.


Female Dwarf Gunslinger 5(Pistolero)

SSorry got excited.


Female Elf Bard (Dervish Dancer) 4/Fighter 1

Since we're still in initiative order, and since Syndlara's attack likely didn't make any difference...

Syndlara takes a step over the fallen crone to slash at the monkey.

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7


Female Human (varisian) Magus 5

So i'm not sure when Iolana is going to act now.

The varisian girl runs back taking care of not to make too much noise and tells her companions what she saw, keeping her voice low.

"More cannibals incoming,saw two of them, by the skeletons pen."

edit:addind a line to Iolana's speech
"I don't think they noticed me,but i didn't have a clear line of sight either."


Oracle lvl 4 [ HP 26/34 | AC 21 T 12 FF 19 | CMD 17 | F +3 R +3 W +3 | Init +2 Per -2]

I believe we are in round 3, Iolana and Gatherine have already acted this round.

Mugambi picks up the magical itens starting with the ones with the strongest auras.


The monkey falls on its back with its tongue lolling out... clearly expired. As Mugambi grabs the gear, and Iolana reports the incoming cannibals, you hear more shouting. Among the varied voices of the natives to the north, you hear Tol bellowing as loud as he can... "That is right! You are under attack! Ha! Come'n get me!"

Would you like to move or prepare in any way? You have maybe 10 seconds before the ones Iolona has warned you of arrive.


Female Dwarf Gunslinger 5(Pistolero)

...!We'd better hurry and sneak into the village while they're distracted with this.Find the hostages and try to free em in the confusion.Then we can take care of the other big threats.

Gatherine hustled into the foliage as fast as she could,head low as she headed in.


Female Human (varisian) Magus 5

Iolana follows Gatherine.
"Hope Tol is going to be fine,but i'm not taking on the whole camp.Let's find the prisoners and maybe kill the other boss. Hopefully the rest of the cannibals will be demoralized then"


Female Elf Bard (Dervish Dancer) 4/Fighter 1

Syndlara closes her eyes for a brief moment, then inhales a deep breath and calls out, "Quickly! This way!"--her voice seeming to come some 35 feet to the east of the hut and fading as if moving away.

Using the mummer's ruff to cast Ventriloquism (DC 13) and throw her voice to the east, making it seem as if the group is retreating.

Quieter, she says, "While we still have surprise on our side, yes," and follows after Gatherine and Iolana.


Oracle lvl 4 [ HP 26/34 | AC 21 T 12 FF 19 | CMD 17 | F +3 R +3 W +3 | Init +2 Per -2]

OK.
Mugambi follows his companions.

If there is people comin on the trail in the from where are we going? Maybe through the woods at the back at the hut pushing to the village's direction?


Oracle lvl 4 [ HP 26/34 | AC 21 T 12 FF 19 | CMD 17 | F +3 R +3 W +3 | Init +2 Per -2]

/bump


You continue to hear Tol holler nonsense, and then his voice starts to fade as if he had turned and started riding away again.
You hear a cannibal - close enough to possibly be on the path south of the skeleton pen, while you move through the foliage south of the burning hag hut... heading west.
"Dis be da end of Malikadna's dream... Dey here somewhere... I tink I hear voice over dere. Pool da string... and open da cage. I lead dem in"


The foliage around the hut is particularly dense. It looks like intentional privacy for the camp hag. The trees have low branches and are strung with tattered rigging... a playground for a monkey. The trees let only enough light in for the scraggly bushes which come up to Gatherine's belly.


Female Dwarf Gunslinger 5(Pistolero)

1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29Perception

Gatherine heard the cannibal chatter and her ears perked.Her eyes narrowed.She scanned her surroundings suspiciously.

...Pull the string and lead them in.... ? Are they talking about the cage with the skellies?

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22Stealth
The she dwarf hunkered down and slink amid the foliage,vanishing from sight.

Female Dwarf Gunslinger 5(Pistolero)

Yay Tol!!


Peering through the other side of the foliage toward the center of the camp, you see little. There is some sort of structure blocking your view.

>new map<


Female Human (varisian) Magus 5

Hello?


Syndlara's ruse appears to have worked for now.. you do not see, and no longer hear the three who had been approaching south of the skeleton pen.
You are standing on the southern edge of camp... just inside the treeline. There is a fairly large structure - you can't see through the foliage how far west it goes, but the east wall is in front of you.
The structure blocks your view of the interior of the camp, but it might help you not be seen entering the edge of the camp.


Female Elf Bard (Dervish Dancer) 4/Fighter 1

Motioning silently for the others to follow, Syndlara crouches as she hustles toward the east wall of the building, then proceeds toward one of the edges of the building. Moving in the direction of S20, toward the edge of the building.


As she makes her way to the wall, Syndlara sees the west end of the building. The last ten feet of the southeast corner is a bamboo-barred pen and hangs with one stilt over a pit .
No more cannibals are visible, but the sound of them being awoken, riled, and commanded is growing. The varied voices come in a mix of Common Taldane, Chelaxian, and Polyglot.

>map<


Female Dwarf Gunslinger 5(Pistolero)

The dwarf maid hustled after Syndlara as the commotion began in earnest.


Female Human (varisian) Magus 5

The varisian girl follows silently,hand on the scimitar's hilt.


move east west or stay put?


Female Dwarf Gunslinger 5(Pistolero)

Gatherine steadily pressed further east-western.


Female Elf Bard (Dervish Dancer) 4/Fighter 1

Syndlara continues quietly toward the edge of the wall. Moving toward S9. Is that a hill on the map in that area?


Female Human (varisian) Magus 5

Iolana will follow Syndlara and Gatherine,doesn't matter what direction they take.


That is a pit around S,9... I just realized I said southeast corner hangs over the pit, I meant southwest...

You come to the pit at the western edge of the building. You hear an angry hiss, and see a large lizard - which looks like a snubnose blue-tinged and smooth-scaled crocodile, at the bottom of the pit. The stilt is a wooden pole which goes from the lizard pit, through the middle of the platform above, and up to the ceiling. Seated on the teetering platform, and bound to the pole in the center are a plump gnome and dark-skinned human... all but Syndlara know as Gelik and Jask. The platform is moving slightly and dips down on the larger Jask's side... as if it is not attached to the barred walls of bamboo.
