Games of Chance (Inactive)

Game Master lynora

Gotas followed the newly arrived Captain. Taking note of things as he went.

Unit 2

This is taking to long... what is happening to them as Brenog begins to wander and worry for Janus...

Brenog will wait a few more minutes before going in to search for janus

Unit Two

A small construct made up of little bits of trash runs up to Brenog's feet and tries to climb up.

"At least he knows how to handle people." Kirel thinks as she follows the Captain.

"I am Kirel Torncloud, Captain."

"James Brightblood, reporting for duty." James stands, well, it looks like military attention but isn't quite there.

I pick the little bird up This is all I need as he hops on to Cadogan and runs full speed ahead towards Janus.

Unit Three

Well as the Captain so graciously convinced you. It's in your best interest to tell us what you know. It will help us to protect you later as well considering whomever is employing you will not be in a powerful place for much longer. Would you like some healing? You can have this Pigeons life and flesh if you tell us what you know. You must relax your mind, I swear, I will not harm you. Not lying

Guardhouse

The half-orc shied away from Ignot. "No! No, no healing! I'll cooperate, I promise! Hollins! We were hired by a bloke named Hollins. He's some big-shot with the Orphan's Aid Society. All we had to do was guard the merchandise until his guys showed up and then escort them all down to the wharf, to the ship Kraken's Revenge. And then our part was clear. I don't know no more than that! It was our chief who did the negotiating. I've never even seen Hollins. Just the gnoll who works for him would show up sometimes to give us directions. I think his name was Grizz, but I'm not too sure cause I never thought he was important enough to pay attention to."

Edit Unit3

:: still think we should spread the word of how helpful he has been. Need to see how much pull these people have once their in custody::

I am going to wait outside, not much I can do here.
Graal heads across the street and tries to blend into the background
stealth 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (8) + 17 = 25
if I can't stealth please disregard. I am still going across the street to see If I spot anything interesting we should investigate.
perception 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24

Unit 1
Waiting on the results of my knowledge roll about the sign with the grapes means. Short of that I was considering knocking on the door and applying for membership. ;-)

Do you read Terran?

** spoiler omitted **

Not yet, but I speak Auran.

Mer looks at the strange letters and attempts to get some idea as to what they say even though he doesn't speak it. He does speak similar languages. (Dwarven and terran are similar if memory serves and I do speak dwarven. Much in the same way that english is a germanic language and certain words are remarkably similar with similar meanings. Of course some are spelled similar with entirely different meanings. it's a crap shoot, but I figured it was worth a shot.)

Linguistic 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Unit 2: warehouse

The gnoll and the dwarf turned to go and Nico tried to stealthily follow after them.

Stealth: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22

Bad guys Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Nico was successful in his attempt to follow unseen. The grubby youth stopped every few feet to draw an arrow on the ground or on nearby buildings in chalk so that Janus and Brenog would be easily able to follow.

Linguistic 1d20+8

He's pretty sure that the second word is vine...or maybe vegetable but in the context vine makes more sense. And the first word looks like either blocked or bunny.

Unit 1

"I think they sell wine." Meredian says pointing at the sign.

"Let's go ask." mer walks up to the door and knocks.

Unit 1

Follows Meredian.

Guardhouse: captain's office

"Welcome to the watch, James, Kirel, Gotas. These are your badges," he said, handing out the pieces of stamped leather. "Regulations say they should be metal, but the metal ones keep getting stolen here so we use these instead. There's a copy of the laws of Chance on Shifty-eye's desk. You're free to look through it whenever you like. You'll be assigned to a unit for purposes of patrols and the like. Unit assignments are subject to change as needed. James, you'll be with Unit Two. One of their members wandered off and conveniently forgot to return after patrol. It happens. The pay is lousy and they don't give us equipment, so we get some special privileges when it comes to personal possessions of criminals. If there's something you can use, keep it. Otherwise bring the rest back here and Shifty-eye will sell off what's left and split the profits among everyone. Try not to use deadly force unless you have to, but there will be more times than I care to think about that you have to. And be careful out there. The Watch is not well liked here and I'd like to keep you all in relatively good health. There's a boardinghouse near here that will give you a discount which will help cut down on living expenses. Any questions?"

Gotas nods taking the badge and putting it away in one of his many pockets.

"Is there a temple of Nethys in the warrens. If not is their a trust worthy mage crafter?"

James nods, taking his badge and sliding it into a pouch, taking care to snap it shut and secure it. "Are the other members of Unit Two back from patrol, or should I head out and meet them? And if so, where were they scheduled to patrol?"

"Which unit am I in?" Kirel asks as she pins the star to her shirt. "And when can I start?"

Unit 2

Krakens Revenge, ok Mrs Wynnie I think we should gather up our people and check this boat out. Maybe I can try to get hired on and see whats going on. Or we can just storm it and see what we turn up.

Unit 2

Wynnie nods. "Sounds like it. Let's head out."

Unit 2

Since Brenog is literally less than 100 feet from Janus' position, it doesn't take him long. When he rounds the corner he can see Janus standing just inside the warehouse door. Chance runs up to Janus, and Janus mounts.

Brenog, seems like this plan has paid off. Nico is following a scrawny gnoll and a dwarf. They showed up a little while after the others left and poked around on the bodies, obviously looking for something specific as they left all this behind. Nico is tailing them and leaving a trail for us.

Janus indicates an arrow scratched into the dirt nearby.

"Well you can walk or would you rather ride with me, so we can catch up faster?" as Brenog looks at the markings "What do you want to do now?"

Int check to see if I remember a guy named Hollins from the Orpahns Aid Society. 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

Int check to see if I remember a guy named Hollins from the Orpahns Aid Society. 1d20+2

"Well you can walk or would you rather ride with me, so we can catch up faster?" as Brenog looks at the markings "What do you want to do now?"

Psst, Janus has a riding dog. For now.

Meredian and Avalar have knocked on the door and are awaiting for something to happen.

"Which unit am I in?" Kirel asks as she pins the star to her shirt. "And when can I start?"

"Unit Four. You and Gotas are both in four. Your unit is still assembling. But I'm sure Penny and Spider wouldn't mind taking you out on patrol since the rest of their unit is busy with other errands right now."

Unit One

The person/creature/thing that answered the door seemed a bit off. And he/she/it smelled funny.

"Yeth? Wath there thomething you wanted?"

Unit 2

Chance is Janus' riding dog, upon whom Janus is currently sitting.

Let's trail them, perhaps we can unravel a bit more of this.

Suiting actions to words, Janus heads in the direction the arrows point, riding easily.

"Yeth? Wath there thomething you wanted?"

"Do you sell wine?" Meredian says, friendly and legitimately curious.

Unit One

The creature looked him up and down.

"No, thir, we do not thell....wine."

Unit One

The creature looked him up and down.

"No, thir, we do not thell....wine."

"Well, why not?" Mer says indignantly. "Your sign has grapes on it (motioning). How is that not the universal indicator of a wine merchant? Fine, what do you sell?"

Can mer see behind this creature into the room? Is it medium sized?

Kal hung back in the shadows, staying alert for trouble. His cousin was just a bit too erratic and impulsive at times for his liking. Case in point, they were down here to meet somebody and he's already gotten distracted by pretty colors.

Kolm stands back, watching his companions at the door, not surprised that the drow had gotten distracted. Elves, after all, were flighty, this particular one exceptional in that regard.

Remind me who we're looking for please.

My Tiefling girlfriend hahaha. She said she would beet us down here to talk to us about anything we as guards might be interested in

I thought she was a Dhampir?

Was a Dhampir.

My Tiefling girlfriend hahaha. She said she would beet us down here to talk to us about anything we as guards might be interested in

I, the player, got a little off track. Perhaps you should remind Meredian what we're doing. Otherwise we might be about to pick a fight with "bad juju" creatures.

Ten posts from us in a row? Ya, we're that awesome. Your welcome Lyn. LOL

Kal sighs, his cousin was after wine? He then walks up behind Mer tapping him on the shoulder and saying quietly in Undercommon "Mer, must you always be distracted by alcohol? We're down here to meet Brigitte, remember?"

Unit 1

"Who?... Oh, right. I was distracted by something about Juju and wine." Looking to the creature in the doorway and waving his hand dismissively. Speaking louder and slower than is necessary "You should change your sign. it's misleading. " then waves his hand dismissively.

Assuming the creature doesn't do anything to stop him Mer turns to leave.

In undercommon "Where are we meeting Bridgette?"

"At that mining shop."

"At that mining shop."

"off we to then."

Unit One

Unit Two in the field

Brenog and Janus are able to follow the arrows to a small square, the last arrow pointing to the door of a rickety building with a sign that was meant to look like a crystal ball, but tended to more closely resemble a snail.

Unit One

Brigitte was waiting in front of the shop when they walked back across the street.

"Finding trouble already?" she asked with a raised eyebrow and a smirk.

Unit One

Perception:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Well if that is not cool, damn dice roller.
