Ed's Dragon's Demand (Inactive)

Game Master fine_young_misanthrope

Great push! :D

Shriek's eyes open wide at the offer of the amethists "Groar! Count me in!" he extends then his hand "Good to reclaim those 500 gold pieces you promised."

Assuming he pays the promised sum for exploring the tower, the half-orc accepts and leaves to the tavern to have some fun after stocking some new gear.
500/6= 83.33 gp each

"Certainly madam!"

When they are escorted out of the manor Yasmin asks one of the servants "Tell me, do you have a blacksmith or even an weaponsmith in town?"

Later she turns to the others

"Ok, what shall we do with those gems? I have no idea if we can sell them here. At least we made a nice little profit there"

Assuming a PP is 10 GP we made 840 gp in coins / 6 = 140 gp each and 800 in gems and their box.

I am in for thrashing kobolds, who is for taking the tunnels back to the buggers? Anyone know anything about the varmits? I also figure that little kobold had to be lying about a dragon or we'd be cooked already

Level 2. Woo hoo!!!

As soon as he gets back to town, Solvi tries to find somebody capable of making barding for Bissi. Ideally he'd like to get masterwork studded leather but if that isn't possible he'll settle for normal leather armour

you can sell and buy from whatever people in town you want to. Post what you do, where you go, and how long you want to stay. There is no time limit, so if you're taking a year off to drink away your money so be it!

Yasmin finds her way to Baccus smithy. She looks around for a short while before asking one of the smiths, showing her two-bladed sword "Can I trade this in for one of better quality? Ideally I would like to get one with two superior blades, but I will have to settle for one with just one, because I lack the money."

Costs 350: 300 for masterwork + 100 for blade - 50 for refund for previous blade

After she has traded in her weapon she asks "So, beside that collapse, has anything happened of late?"

Shriek visits Chance's Smithy there, he asks to fix and reinforce his armor to a masterwork breastplate "Groar, the trip here was tough, my armor had suffered a lot of damage. Thanks for fixing it, I have business to deal here"

While the armor is fixed Shriek visits the close by Shrine of the Seven Roses "Good to see, you, just curious what all this is about. Any business at town?"

Solvi is more than willing to go deal with the Kobolds. Tomorrow or the next day.

Would do the following in order. Willing to this offline if you prefer.

He'd take 10 on diplomacy for any and all of the following, getting a 20 diplomacy

1) Solvi goes to Sensina Hides and asks about getting some armour made for Bissi.

Ideally masterwork studded leather armour would be best but if that would take too long he'll settle for leather armour.

"Hello there. I was hoping that you could help me. I'm looking to purchase some armour for my good friend Bissi here. Bissi, say hello to the nice man"

Bissi goes up and sniffs the man, chuffs, and then rolls over for a belly rub

"Its ok, you can rub her belly. She is quite friendly"

"Ideally, I'd like to buy masterwork studded leather for her. But if that isn't possible, just normal leather armour would do. Or perhaps buy normal leather armour now with the masterwork armour coming when you can get around to it?"

2) He'd go and introduce himself at the Shrine of the Seven Roses. As a fellow worshipper of a Good diety professional courtesy demands that. And who doesn't like Shelyn worshippers? :-)

"Hello there. My name is Solvi, I am an Inquisitor of Sinashakti. Would it be possible for me to see your high priest?"

Assuming that I see them:

"Hello there. As I was telling your associate, I am an Inquisitor of Sinashakti. I just thought that I should introduce myself as a professional courtesy since it seems like I might be here for a time.

I have the utmost respect for Shelyn and her followers. You spread the Joy that my Patron likes so much to see"

3) He'd also go and introduce himself at the Temple of Abadar. Professional courtesy. Wouldn't expect quite as warm a welcome.

"Hello there. As I was telling your associate, I am an Inquisitor of Sinashakti. I just thought that I should introduce myself as a professional courtesy since it seems like I might be here for a time."

4) He'd also spend some time just talking to people (he has gotten a lot better at that now :-)). He especially wants people to realize that Bissi is NOT to be feared, that he is well trained and well behaved. He'll even let some toddlers and the like ride on Bissi :-).

"Its ok, you can rub her belly. She is quite friendly"

5) Get a general feel for the town. Find out who is allied with who, any politics, etc. Take 10 on either diplomacy or sense motive for a 20 (Diplomacy) or 22 (Sense Motive)
.

Orell will find a seedy partially lit corner of a room and gamble himself out of fifty gold maximum trying to win a lot more and will keep a sharp eye with his sleight of hand for any cheating. After he has done that for a day he too will go to the temple of roses and pray in a corner to his god and leave a donation of 10% of his winnings if any.

Going around town, it's pretty much as you all hoped. No one puts up any significant road blocks for you. Taking the towns temperature, you see there are three main religious factions here:
Abadar: The Abadarans hope to see Belhaim someday become a hub for trade and export again. Ever pragmatic, the Abadarans frequently come into conflict with the Shelynites, whom they regard as layabouts.
Green Faith: Green Faith NPCs are patient and hard working, and tend to be easily frustrated by politics.
Shelyn: Shelynites prefer Belhaim as it is-a cozy town that doesn't see much action. They see the Abadarans as greedy traditionalists who have forgotten how to take the time to enjoy life.

Updated Belhaim map

What people learn around town....

What about the purchases? Are we just arm waving them and assuming we cam buy what we needed to?

you can buy all the gear you want in town. I'm pretty easy going with the boring, high finance side of Pathfinder. No ones trying to buy a holy avenger, so we're good.

After the shopping and wandering around town, Samuel comes back to the inn the group has decided as meeting point.

He there asks for an ale tankard and full spiced rips. As the group gathers up he finishes his food "I have heard the hill mines are infected of ghosts. I do not know what might have happened to the miners there, but seeing that tower crumbling I will not be surprised the kobolds or something similar made enough tremors for them to die. Groar!"

With a toast to the adventurers that explored the tower the half-orc proposes "So we can sleep here tonight, then we met back tomorrow morning at the sunrise and go seek those kobolds at their well"

I will take the masterwork shortbow, and assume it comes with 20 arrows

Yasmin understands from the smith that it is not possible to buy a two-bladed sword with just one masterwork head, it seems to be all or nothing. She still stays awhile to chat

"And did somebody go and search for them? Do you have any idea where they went?"

The bower will throw in the arrows with the hope of repeat business!

A surprising amount of the town gathers in town to hear your story. If you tell your tale, you'll get a room for free.

That was the kobold's bow ;-)

Yasmin listens to Shriek's rendition of their adventures I would never have embellished our search for the wizard like he does, but the villagers seem to like it

She heads to bed early and gets up early, exercising with her sword before she comes in to break her fast.

"I discovered another problem while I was talking to people. There is a band of wolves, led by what may be a larger and more intelligent wolf or, by the sounds of it, may be some form of supernatural creature.

After we deal with the Kobolds we should also deal with the wolf pack"

Finn follows along with the others. He really enjoys the fresh air after all that time spent in the tower...

"Hmm, and to add to Solvi's discovery: the local druid and his wife have gone missing since two months. I wonder if the two things are related"

A local woman has also lost her daughter and is offering 200gp for her safe return. We definately are seeing a pattern. We should check and follow those tunnels under the tower and see what we find with the kobolds

"Agreed. Kobolds first then the others."

"Let's head out!"

time to hit the kobolds then!

You make your way back to the tower, and backtrack to the tunnel. It's uneventful as you've pacified the place and another long boring journey through the tunnel that you find. The tunnel is designed for people who don't hit five feet tall. When you get to the end it opens up into a quarry. A fifty-foot-wide strip of shore stretches between the lake's edge and the forty-foot-high quarry wall. It's strewn with stony debris-the result of centuries of rock slides. Several larger boulders stand against the middle of the quarry wall. You see several sets of tracks heading into the

added map link to base campaign description

Shriek kneels picking up a hand of wet debris and letting it down slowly. "If the kobolds are hiding here we will find them. Let's approach hiding behind the boulders"

And thus, the half-orc attempts to advance hiding behind the large rocks, following the tracks in with his sword ready.
Stealth: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

Orell tries to follow along quiet and stealthy
With his crossbow liaded and at the ready
stealth: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Solvi and Bissi will head south a bit
Moved Solvi, no token for Bissi but he'd be with Solvi

stealth Solvi: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
stealth Bissi: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23 +4 in undergrowth

Yasmin readies her blade and follows the half-orc, unsuccessfully stifling a laugh at his failed attempts to move silently.

Stealth: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Orell and Solvi are hidden, but Yasmin and Samuel provide the detraction as the kobolds know someone is outside.

Init order
Orell Destiny: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Finn Lochlan: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Gilraen: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15
Solvi: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Yasmin: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Samuel Soulkeeper: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
kobolds: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 good job kobolds, now you're going to die!

both sides vaguely know about the other, but if you beat a DC 14 stealth check, you are hidden, if not, they know about you. If you haven't tried your stealth check yet, post before you act to see if you get the bonuses for being hidden. You will only get it for one round, but it is a bonus. Good luck

Yasmin tries to see whether she can find any kobolds

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Don't see them on the map

In all his glorious percussion performance, Shriek advances roaring menacingly at the kobolds, positioning himself at the corner and attacking at the first kobold on sight or readying an attack against the first one to be seen "They have heard us! Groar!"
longsword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Slashing damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

I also can't see the kobolds. The map is also behaving strangely. I can zoom to 200% (at which I can kinda see) but when I try and zoom past that it all vanishes, just leaving me the thumbnail

At any rate, Solvi shoots at the nearest kobold he can see. Bissi will then either move and attack the same one (if it is up) or the next nearest on the same side.

Both attacks came from hiding (NOT included in the rolls)
longbow: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10
leopard bite: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24 for damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 and trip: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

"Nicely done Bissi. Very nicely done"

Orell will aim at one in the back out of combat spending a grit to hit touch ac and then pin him to the rock(or try to) and then reload.

one shot, one kill: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

kill with no mercy: 4d6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 5, 2, 3) + 2 = 14

or just roll a one...

Map updated

Orell I feel for you man!

Round 1
Orell Destiny: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23 Shoots wide
Finn Lochlan: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Gilraen: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15
Solvi: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12 Shoots wide, but the leopard jumps in, trips the lead kobold, and eviscerates the beast.
Yasmin: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Samuel Soulkeeper: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10 Samuel runs in sword swinging and decimates another kobold!
kobolds: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

I don't think I can see them. Are the kobolds emerging from another tunnel? I assume that is a wall between Samuel and the other 4 kobolds?

Finn runs up behind the others and readies an action to hex the first one he sees.

Ready action to Evil Eye to first kobold I see.
Evil Eye DC 15 Will, -2 AC for 1 round or 7 rounds on failed save

Yes you are right. The kobolds haven't gone yet as I did well on my init...
Orell Destiny: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23 Shoots wide

Yasmin, you can take your action before or after the kobolds go

kobolds: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Orell reloads after taking a five ft step away from the attacking kobold

Are they attacking with slings?

Seeing the kobold seared with his hex, Finn tries to mark another one.

Evil Eye on the kobold next to the stared one.
(DC 15 Will, -2 AC for 1 round or 7 rounds on failed save)

Yasmin moves south, towards the kobolds. She looks closely at one of them, thinking where to stab it.

First move action = move while drawing sword, second move action = study target (red outline)

Hearing the combat commotion outside, Shriek moves out of the tunnel. Then observing the fight against the kobolds, he starts hitting his shield and groaring, inspiring his companions into an inspired rage.
+2 morale Str, +2 Con, +1 Will, -1 AC for those that accept the rage

I can't see any kobolds to the North, correct? As I said, I cannot zoom in on this map which is very aggravating. Assuming nothing more to the north

Holvi sends Bissi into the fray to the south, while moving and shooting himself.

longbow: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13

Bissi has to double move to get there,

The kobolds being to excitedly hop around screaming something in draconic as the hop around the rocks and ready their spears!

kobold attack on dog, confirm on dog, and damage-minimum 1 and 2x on crit: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 211d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 201d6 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4

kobolds: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Shriek advances bravely holding his sword up over his head and jumping over the kobold on the rocks delivering a powerful slash while he keeps his inspiring rage "Groarrr!!!!"
Longsword+IR vs Blue kobold: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 4 + 1 = 19
Slashing damage+IR: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 = 9

"You will show us the way to the kobold tribe or die!" he shouts in Draconic.

Inspired rage (IR): +2 morale Str, +2 Con, +1 Will, -1 AC for all those that do not reject the rage

Yasmin lets Shriek's song wash over her. She lashes out twice, first with one end and then with the other of her two-bladed sword.

Targetting white if still alive, otherwise stepping over to target red. In that case add 1 to both attack and damage

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

By dog did you mean the leopard? If so only the 20 hit for 4 damage

Bissi, upset at being actually hurt, will lay into the kobolds.

Starting with the one that hurt it.

bite: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20 for damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 trip: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

claw: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28 for damage: 1d2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

I think it took all 3 attacks to put it down

Solvi will just double move up

kobolds: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Kobolds are not smart, so they're just hopping around and yelling.

with the siege weapon loaded Orell will aim at a kobold who is out in the open and not in melee as of yet and blast the little bugger hopefully from the earth it stands on.
not accepting the rage thanks
kill the bugger please: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

Samuel Soulkeeper: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10 Full of the bloodlust, the slashes a kobold in half
kobolds: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Orell blasts the last kobold with enough force to past it upon the stone. There are two entrances to the tunnels. It's currently quite, but you can smell other kobolds deeper in the ground.

"Groar! Well done. Let's take whatever seems useful and hide the corpses" says the half-orc.

When the party is done looting and hiding the corpses the skald walks quietely into the tunnels trying to take by surprise whatever kobold is ahead.
Stealth: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4

Orell reloads the crossbow and smiles to the crowd of friends as he helps loot the bodies and then will follow along ten feet back from the Skald.
