Dakkar is only moderately stealthy, but can compensate somewhat by keeping distance and exploiting his high land speed and ability to fly to keep up and get up on rooftops or the like when convenient. Distance hurts Perception, after all.
Hahaha, yeah, but it hurts perception in both directions.
So I think the plan is to send Dakkar and see what he can find out and then see how we will introduce ourselves!
Hey guys, sry it's been so long since I've posted. I'm still not used checking this website. My apologies for holding things up.
Well, Dakkar, if that's what you're doing, tell me you're leaving the group and if you're trying to sneak or just walking up to the place he's supposed to be.
So what's your approach?
I was thinking... I've been trying to leave this pretty open to you guys to see how you'd try to solve it, but would you rather I pushed things along to get past this patch none of us are particularly interested in as quickly as possible?
Some encounters like this one would be hard enough in person.
Dakkar can't help but notice that he is rather incapable of putting his weapons in a box.
Allow me to point out that Basher, the guy you're after, doesn't own the Emporium, and may in fact not even be known by name by the employees.
Hahahaha, yeah, so much I hosed up there...
No problem, I now it's been a long time real-time since the description of the situation. Feel free to post a different approach.
Bahhh, let’s run with it!
Thoughts? I hate it when modules do this, disarm the PC’s in a place where you know the bad guys have weapons.
I propose everyone else waits outside, fully armed, and a disarmed Iskender, along with Dakkar, go inside to chat with our target.
Presumably, this would be why the suggested plan was to draw the person out by pretending to be bodyguards, then ambushing in a different location.
But Dakkar can be ready to just go on a berserk rampage if needed.
Yes, but some of us have a "G" in our alignments and refuse to be party to random acts of unwarranted homicide.
Hey, Dakkar has at least *some* sense of morals! The acts of homicide might become random after the blood frenzy kicks in, but de wouldn't do it unwarranted! Might have looser definitions of what constitutes a warrant for violence, though....
Yep, that sounds like the best way...
BTW...Is Dilwyn still with us? He hasn't posted since June...
Yeah, unfortunately this part of the module has pretty rigid rails. I would have needed to rewrite the situation entirely to change that, and it's a bit late for that now.
I have family visiting from now until after Labor Day. Feel free to bot me as necessary.
I'm travelling for the next few days, so I may be a bit spottier than usual in posting.
Travel safe!
We have an opening for a divine caster for a Wrath of the Righteous campain if anyone is interested. The link to the recruitment thread is here.
Dakkar is uncomfortable in crowded, indoor spaces.
There is also the question; would breaking into a fight in here be suicidal?
Though is someone pokes the wrong buttons on Dakkar, he might start a fight anyway.
It wouldn't be suicidal, but you'd probably want to finish it and be gone before what passes for legal authority showed up.
Anybody seen the GM? Don't two of you live with him/her?
Yeah, I think he might have just forgotten... or not realized we were waiting for him.
Huh, yeah, for some reason I thought I was waiting on you to respond. Not sure how I missed your response.
That low Diplomacy roll really is making this harder on you.
If you want to try a different argument I'll allow you to roll Diplomacy again.
Sometimes there's just no accounting for a really crappy roll!
That is because you didn't have Kit there and some alcohol!
Plus me and the goon we're trying to scam aren't sexually compatible! If this was a nearly humanoid chick, I'd have talked my way right into her heart already!
So, if Dakkar were to suddenly attack without warning, would he be getting a surprise round? Or is the atmosphere too tense for that now?
I generally say that's Bluff vs. Sense Motive.
My social rolls have sucked so bad. Dakkar, I’ll fight and die by your side, if that’s where this leads, but I figure we’re best off if you can open up a can in the surprise round!
I am getting ready to visit family for two weeks. I am going to try to be active, but bot me as necessary. I should be back after the first week in October.
Okay, the white squares are the bouncers, pretty much everyone else is going to get out of your way.
Am heading out of town this weekend. Will be back Sunday evening.
I'm taking Cub Scouts camping this weekend, so I will be offline until Sunday evening.
So, a thought... since this whole story branch hasn't exactly been fun, what if we just... skip it? Go straight to you guys going through the Red Gate? Would you rather do that then what's probably going to be a rather long and aggravating battle here?
*shrug*. Really, if Dakkar doesn't succumb to uncontrolled rage, he was just planning to tear apart basher, grab his corpse and run.
And blame it on him for starting it!
I'm good with that. Some things would probably flow better at a table and um...ahem...a bard that..ah..you know...actually rolled good diplomacy checks! <Chuckle Chuckle>
I blame the gods of luck!
We are looking for a 7th level, dwarven mage for a Giantslayer campaign. the recruitment thread is here.
What do we need to accomplish before we leave this world? Did we get our shopping done? We were going shopping, and ran into our new friends, right? I'd like to buy a bunch of extra spurs for my rifle before we leave this world. At some point, I'll be using this silly rifle that I have.
I say a good night's rest, so we have all of our abilities reset, and then on to a new world.
Just tell me when you're ready to go. Story-wise there's nothing more to do here before leaving.
Looking at Kit's character sheet, those 12 spurs are currently on me, so he can delete them. We can sell the spur rifles, and the 12 MW weapons before we go.
Selling the Spur rifles @ 50% would be 150gp. The MW short spears would be 903gp and the nets would be 960gp. That brings our haul to 2,511gp. Split 5 ways would be 502.2gp each.
I have removed the rifles, gp and the MW weapons from party loot.
Sweet! 502.2gp added to my sheet.
GM: how much are spurs ammo? Whenever I level, I intend to take that gunslinger level we've talked about.
