Missed that

Round 2

Azuk
BG's
Huni [-16]
Hania [-2]
Sebastian
Warden

Also this part doesnt make much sense in the writing because its written that this is where she is held and the fight happens in the house area. But then it is written like either she is somewhere else or this fight happens else where. But it doesnt effect this fight. Just a heads up.

Azuk draws his longsword and hustles up to the front of the building, hopefully out of line of sight from the archers.

double move

Drawing his blade as he moves, Sebastian converges with Ella and swings at the (red) kidnapper she just attacked.

Hania walks forward and swings her sword at blue.

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 (2-handed)

Sebastian attempts to climb through the window to attack the bandit in the red bandanna. If it is easy to climb into the window, he hits his target with his blade.

If Sebastian made the climb roll due to an easy DC, please move him one square to the right.

You don't get through the window but you do knock him out through it.

Ella steps forward and stabs her rapier at (red) again.
rapier: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

DAMN DICEROLLER!! :-P

Warden flails away at the archer who unwittingly attacked his prisoner.

Warden claw 2 attack on blue: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Warden claw 2 damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

And warden beats the other one senseless.

Combat over!

In the quiet that follows the combat, Huni asks in accented common. "Is everyone alright?"

Azuk shrugs. "I've had worse."

"Just a few bumps and bruises."

Hania takes out a wand and taps the back of her arm with it. Then she looks around. "Anyone else need some?"

Wand of Cure Light wounds. Not going to roll, because I only need 2 hp back, so would be at full health no matter what I rolled.

Ella will accept a cure from Hania if she'll give it.
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Hania also gently taps Ella on the arm with her wand.

"Excellent work everyone! Despite the ambush, I feel safe in saying we've dealt with that threat quickly and effectively. Now, let us search these ruins for the signs of the abductee." Sebastian says with praise before beginning a search of the structure.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18 (+1 for any trap that may be present)

Azuk rolls his eyes, but holds out his wounded arm, accepting a tap from the wand. "Oh well, if you insist."

Cure light wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

You move from the outbuilding to the main house.

This charred husk of a structure was probably once beautiful. Stone bas-reliefs depicting Aroden and Chelish military victories line the high reaches of the walls, though what little remains of a second floor is now sealed off by the collapsed roof. Despite the rest of the house’s decrepit state, the floor is swept clean yet water-stained, and a stack of bedrolls and knapsacks are piled just beside the stairs.

Sitting on the stairs you see Thalia, a fair-featured human woman in her thirties with curly black hair and a fashionable sky-blue Andoren dress, sits on the lowest stairs with her hands tied before her and her
captor Almant Enderios holding the other end of the 30-foot-long rope. Despite having been kept prisoner for a number of days in less-than-comfortable conditions, Thalia is in good spirits and is still healthy. She is reading an essay of some sort as you approach. A man stands guard with his sword drawn but lowered. He is an olive-skinned young man in a long red woolen coat. "Who are you and why are you attacking us?" He demands.

Feel free to do any other healing before you get here.

"We are simply looking for your prisoner. You attacked us. Set her free, and we will make sure you are treated with justice and mercy."

"Prisoner? What are you talking about? She is a Galt runaway and I am contracted to return her." The man says.

"First, Ms. Andares vanished from the Silverglazer Sunday celebration and her father reports that he's received notes from kidnappers who are holding her hostage. If someone told you that she is a Galt runaway, you have been mislead sir. Second, I find your story a little unbelievable when your men shouted and I quote, 'Come and get her if you dare, hounds of the upper class!'"

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

"Yeah! You tell him, Sebastian! Let her go, you meanie!!"

"Of course. Nobles are criminals in Galt. This one was taking refuge here and we are returning her for trial." The man says. He is saying what he knows, but he seems to be doubting their contract.

"Please tell him who I am. He doesn't believe me when I tell him im not who he thinks I am." Thalia says putting her book down.

Also give me a diplo check

"If this is what you truly believe, then as a show of good faith I'm sure you will have no problem with us speaking with her, because we have been told otherwise as to her identity."

Assuming he agrees, Hania looks to Thalia. "We have heard two different versions of your identity. Are you from Galt, or are you the daughter of Mayor Andares?"

Let me know any diplomacy or sense motive rolls you want. Hania will roll for diplomacy herself, but will aid another on sense motive, if someone else will take lead on that.

Diplo roll please Hania.

"The daughter of Mayor Andares." She says. The man looks more and more confused. He then takes a piece of paper from his pocket and begins reading.

"Hey yeah, let's just chat for a while!" Diplomacy aid Hania: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0
Sense motive aid someone else: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (6) + 0 = 6

Wow.

diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

sense motive (aid another)1d20 ⇒ 7 to see if Thalia is telling the truth

oops, my previous post was a cross post with Sebastian and Ella, but it still makes sense.

Who else can aid Hania?

"She is indeed Thalia Andares, daughter of former Andoran Consul and now Mayor of the local municipality Tercio Andares. I'm afraid you may have been played, sir. Perhaps you should surrender her willingly so there'll be no need for further hostilities on our part. Moreover, mayhaps you should tell us who hired you for this task, so that we may get to the bottom of this conspiracy."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

"You might also consider this, if we were who you think we are, why are still alive? Why would we be making such effort to convince you of anything?"
Use Enhanced Diplomacy
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 5 + 2 = 17

Sorry about the delay everyone!

"But the contract said... Now what am i going to do? I cant go back empty handed. I told my wife this job would get us out of Galt. Pay for us to move somewhere safer. I'll tell you what if you pay half what the contract was, shes all yours." The man says, looking deflated and sheathing his sword.

Huni momentarily stares at the fellow as he trying to discern if he can trust the man. "How much would that be?"
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

"50 gold pieces." The man says.

You can split it between you and I will mark it off on the chronicles

Knowledge (local) + Inspiration: Galt political situation : 1d20 + 8 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 8 + (6) = 20

"Well, I do feel for your unfortunate situation, but perhaps abducting people and bringing them back to Galt for some ill-conceived form of murderous justice was not the best career choice. We may give you a donative, but first you must release the young woman into our custody as a show of trust."

"What do you plan to do to support yourself if you can get out of Galt?"

As a paladin of Shelyn, Hania is going to feel very inclined to help the man if he is trying to make something better of himself. If he's just going to keep at the same sort of thing, he may be better fought instead.

"If it'll help your family, we can probably spare the gold. I mean, we're nice people, right??"

Huni counts out 70 coins. "It is good for a man to want to better themselves. However, one should do so through self improvement and hard work not at the expense of others. Remember this as you go forth from here."

Galt is going through a revolution much like Andoran did. However the revolution is much bloodier. Think like the French revolution.

"My thanks. I don't know where we will go yet but somewhere safer. We have relatives in Andoran and Absolom. We may go to stay with some of them for a while." He says, accepting the gold. He also hands you the contract.

Perception or Craft alchemy please.

Perception 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Sebastian looks the document over with a critical eye.

Craft (alchemy): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

First off you think the handwriting is feminine and you notice a few trace smudges of alchemical reagents. And you think it was disguise self or something to that effect. And everyone give me a separate perception check.
