Once the witch went down, Noravia turned her attention back to the vault. She was unaware of what was going on with the others and trusted that they'd take care of each other. "I guess the vault is my responsibility since I'm the only one who can enter without harm. I'll empty what I can. Didn't Tillia have a bag that was bigger on the inside? Maybe we can load that up. And guys? There's a chest in the vault. See if you can find me the key."
She made the jump back into the vault and got to work clearing the shelves. She quickly realized that they wouldn't be able to take everything so she tried to quickly sort what she could between take and leave.
"I guess the vault is my responsibility since I'm the only one who can enter without harm. I'll empty what I can. Didn't Tillia have a bag that was bigger on the inside? Maybe we can load that up. And guys? There's a chest in the vault. See if you can find me the key."
"We have some more immediate problems," Eirik said, sighing as he looked at the brightly smiling Tillia. This, he realized, looked all too familiar. "Whatever the spell Caleb and Rizolla fell under a little time ago? The one that robbed them of their minds? I think the witch may have used it against Tillia. She seems healthy enough, but perhaps not all the way here."
No, the guard was on the inside and now lies dead at the bottom of a watery pit. :)
Jillian watched the last of the drowning men stop thrashing, and felt a deep satisfaction.
"I'll go lock the doors, give us time to finish up in here. Since we're here, we might as well get the job done right." She moved back to the main entrance, and locked it up tight. She then looked for any windows or shutters to close,to make sure the building was buttoned up tight.
Caleb ran to the edge of the pit, looked over at Noravia, and paused. 'She's fine' he reassured himself 'but busy. Find something useful to do that DOESN'T involve reading.'
"I'll loot the bodies. Make sure they're dead. See what I can find." he called "Should we do something about this place? Burn the records we leave behind, perhaps? Eirik - will that hurt THRUNE?"
No time to recap today but let's get the actions ready so I can recap tomorrow.
I have:
a) loot;
b) Noravia take some records; and
c) Caleb teleport everyone back to coffeehouse.
Is the above correct?
Noravia started pulling records and stuffing them into Tillia's bag. Just when it was getting full, Caleb called to her from the other room. He hands over another haversack along with a key he found that she was pretty sure would open the chest. She smiles her thanks and gets back to work. There would be time later for them to be together when today's work was done.
Jillian would be delighted to help with the arson!
Remember Caleb's dimension door is 400+n40 where n is caster level. For the next 10 minutes or so, that's bigger, but I doubt its enough to get to the coffee shop. Should get us a lot closer though.
Ehrmagerd! Double digit levels! Hell yes!
Action 1
Jillian grabbed a candle from the witch's office, and twisted a sheath of papers and then lit it. With something like schoolgirl delight, she made her way methodically through the place, starting fires on every pile of books or papers she saw. "Redact that, you f$$!er!" she said, as the flames spread to the wooden shelves, the walls, and the carpeting.

looking at:
Dominate Person - worried Tillia might be getting this
Possession - worried Tillia might be getting this
Teleport - occasionally amazing... but would we use it? Amazing if we have to do another mission outside the city.
Feeblemind - having seen this spell in action twice I am pretty dang impressed.
Suffocation - just seems like a nice spell to use on someone stuck in the aqueous orb; fail any one save and drown.
Also considering Create Greater Mindscape, but even if effective it seems a bit irritating for Fabian ("Hey Fabian, me and X are going to be in our own scene for a while").
Telepathic Bond Almost powerful enough to cover the whole group, caster + 1/3 lvl. Lasts for a decent time. Although Noravia already has a weaker version of this.
Symbol of Sleep Nice save-or-die for all minions within reach with no SR. Not party-friendly for another level, though...
Lightning Arc or perhaps Fire Snake for nice AoE damage... the Arc gets bonus points from me since I had so much fun with its 4ed counterpart with my Goat of Death character ;^)
Feast on Fear Very cool minion control, if enemies trickle in. I like the flavor.

No school limitations, but I am trying to keep in theme.
Telepathic Bond: Pretty sure Callistria has a rule in the Book of Joy that says "thou shalt not upstage thy girlfriend." ;) Otherwise, yeah, telepathy makes sense. Heck if he was actually a psychic it'd be free.Symbol: 10 minute casting time - thought this was just a defence?
Lightning Arc: yeah, I think I need some sort of AoE. I was thinking about getting one at 4th level, but perhaps this is the way to go... very tempted - unless Riz is taking over for Tillia.
@Tillia?
Feast on Fear: seriously looked at this, but CC is already suffering in action economy; i was actually looking for immediate powers as well!
Symbol: 10 minute casting time - thought this was just a defence?
Action 1
Tillia continued to stare happily and slackjawed when the witch was down though she did whimper and wine when her bag was taken away from her. She didn't become aggressive though showing just how passive the woman really was at the deepest levels. She let the others guide her as she knew they were her friends and was much happier when her bag was returned to her. By the time they had finished collecting the documents the pit was gone having returned to wherever it came from, and they could freely pass the area now, one littered with the corpses of the dead inquisitors mounded atop each other.
Action 2
Tillia let herself be led away from the store house, quite happy to be with those she trusted, and when they reached the wasp nest bulked only a little at going below ground.
Once they were with the others her bird came over and tried to talk to her in their strange language they seemed to share. The thrush seemed looked freaked out by her Mistress' strange state and looked at Rexus as she began to speak in a language no bird should be capable of asking him what they did to her wizard.
Not sure which to use. I guess it depends on whether we can get Tillia cured soon or if it takes a while, and what the next event is.
I need to know what your current wealth level so I can compare it to the 62,000 gp recommended.
Once I know how 'short' you are then you can buy things with your 'excess'. I do this only to make sure the encounters are balanced.
I must have Shari fear for her character's life or it's no fun for me. :)
Any item found (look at loot table in recaps) may just be obtained. If you want to buy something new then you give me three choices (1st, 2nd, and 3rd choice) and I will then assign probabilities (50, 30, and 20%) and roll to see what is available.
You may also upgrade your items; we assume that's always an option so no rolling necessary.
The 'availability' was my attempt at getting rid of the 'magic shop' feel where magic items are all just there for the taking. I wanted to make magic items special.
As you can see, I have failed miserably and each of you has a plethora of magic items (like the monk above who has 8 permanent magic items). :)
[5e plug mode]This is why we're switching to 5e where magic items are special just because there aren't many around and none are for sale.[/5e plug mode] :)
Questions?
Game on!
Action 1:
Noravia knew that arson was necessary in this case to prevent Thrune from using any of the records in the vault for evil; however, when the flames began to lick at the remaining records the inquisitor couldn't help but feel anxious. What if she had failed to choose the correct papers to save and something they needed was going to be burned? That failure would be on her and only her.
Action 2:
Noravia was relieved once they put some distance between themselves and the Records Hall. At least they had given Thrune a taste of his own medicine. Caleb would be thrilled because of that which in turn would make her happy.
They had been fortunate this time, well, except for Tillia. Noravia would have been more worried if they hadn't discovered the font. "After we drop off the documents with Rexus, we need to take Tillia to the Dawnflower's Font. It's the best way to restore her mind and we should do it as soon as possible."
When they arrived back at the Wasp's Nest, it was with some trepidation that she handed the two bags over to Rexus. "We brought you a gold mine of records. I just hope that it's the right gold mine. But I didn't have time to read before I grabbed and this was all I could save." She held up the haversack that didn't belong to Tillia, "This one contains records that had been locked up inside a chest within the vault. I guess that suggests they were the most valuable, at least to the witch. I would probably start with those. As soon as we restore Tillia's mind, she can help you."
I'll be working on my leveling this weekend, not a lot of time today to deal with it.
Action 2
"If a prison break is in order we should try to find out who else is incarcerated in the same place - might be there are other people unjustly arrested we could release. That, and do some background work about the facility and personnel like before," Eirik suggested.
Action 2:
Noravia looked perplexed, "I was hoping that no one would know about that third family but the fact that this Carliss Mayhart is being kept in jail may suggest otherwise. Laria's right that it's weird his case keeps getting postponed. But that means we have even more reason to rescue him - and anyone else useful like Eirik suggested. We definitely need more information. A couple of the teams should do some information gathering for us."
The inquisitor looked over at Tillia. "Caleb, Jillian, and I can take Tillia to the font while Eirik helps Rexus start going through the records we brought."
Action 1
Jillian stared at the feeble-minded lust mage,and couldn't help shivering in horror. Gods above, I hope I don't ever end up like that. Aloud, she said, "That spell seems to be a favorite of theirs. Can any of our wizards learn it? It would be nice to use it against them, let them see how it feels.
Action 2
Jillian nodded, and rolled her shoulders in anticipation of another fight. "I can help with scouting the place out, if that would help. We should definitely break that guy out. And soon...once they know what happened at the Record Hall, somebody might figure out what we're up to. Carliss's life could be in danger."
Action 3
Jillian had her sword out and ready - she didn't like it down here, even after their days of work cleaning up the font, and she didn't trust that their enemies weren't up to something. She kept her eyes peeled for trouble as the healers did their thing.
"I... I think I remember what it was like." Caleb said, slowly. "When I ripped apart that witch, I got a sort of... flash. I might be able to pull it off... with practice... but who do I practice on?"
"I've heard of this. Case is weak, so they keep them in jail indefinitely until the person agrees to plead guilty. If we can get him out, he might be happy to help us out." Caleb though "I doubt this prison is warded against teleportation. How about I sent in some scouts, get the layout, go invisible, find this guy and get him out. With any luck he'll be grateful enough he'll help us."
"Maybe we should get more people out. If it is just him, it'd look fishy. We don't want his case to actually get heard, or he might think the system works."
Caleb was on edge - mostly because Noravia was on edge.
Caleb felt on edge. 'Mostly' he reflected 'because Noravia is on edge.'
He looked at Tillia, and flashes of the time he'd spent locked inside his own mind came back. The humiliation. The helplessness. [i]'Noravia and Ves got me through that. We need to get Tillia back - now. Second time a witch has...'[i] "Huh." he said aloud "Do you think the witches were related or something?"
Action 2:
"I doubt this prison is warded against teleportation. How about I sent in some scouts, get the layout, go invisible, find this guy and get him out. With any luck he'll be grateful enough he'll help us."
Noravia reacted before remembering that she could now always know where Caleb was. "The last time you went somewhere alone, I almost lost you. Yes to scouts, no to you going in alone." She tried to keep her voice even but it trembled with underlying emotion suggesting that she was still traumatized by the time Caleb had spent without his mind.
Maybe we should get more people out. If it is just him, it'd look fishy. We don't want his case to actually get heard, or he might think the system works."
The inquisitor nodded emphatically at this point. "As many people as we can, then. Hiding our true target in a mass of other freed prisoners is a good point...and will require more than one person to pull off."
Action 3:
Noravia watched Shensen with Tillia as a rush of emotions churned within her. It was still too soon after what she's gone through with Caleb and it was as if she was reliving that now. Her hand snaked into Caleb's and she clutched it tightly. She leaned over and whispered, "When Tillia is healed, maybe we can send her and Jillian back and take the long way home alone?"
"Huh." he said aloud "Do you think the witches were related or something?"
Noravia shrugged. That thought hadn't occurred to her. "They looked nothing alike but it's possible that similar magics are used by those in allegiance to Thrune." She added, more to herself, "It is a heinous spell but more so for those who care about the one affected."
Then her eyes hardened and there was an edge to her voice, "It would be nice to repay them for everything they've taken or tried to take from us. And to trap them within their own minds leaving them helpless would be a good way to do that." She squeezed Caleb's hand at that point, "If you can learn how to do that, you should. If you need to practice then we can come here and you can practice on me. With the Font and Shensen's care, I should be fine. I trust you."
Action 2
When Salina asked Rexus about Tillia's health the scholar looked up at her and said in reply in the same language, "She was hit with the same thing that Rizolla and Caleb were by Hetamon's mother. Don't worry, she will be fine as soon as they get her to the Font." The bird seemed to relax and watched her wizard carefully while Tillia spent most of the meeting babbling and looking at the pretty birdy.
When they went to take Tillia to the font she rose and followed obediently. It went to show just how "domesticated" she'd been made at some point in her life that she didn't react badly to any of it. It was almost like she was a puppy letting someone leader her around and following obediently. Salina went with them to see what happened for herself.

Misc:
Hidden Spell +1 (Su) At 3rd level, an enchanting courtesan can undermine a foe’s mental defenses with surprise.
The enchanting courtesan gains a +1 circumstance bonus to the save DC of his spells against foes who are unaware of his presence or consider him an ally. In these circumstances, the enchanting courtesan also gains a +1 circumstance bonus on caster level checks to overcome targets’ spell resistance and to penetrate abjurations such as nondetection.
At 6th level, the bonuses increase to +2. A 6th-level enchanting courtesan can also undermine the mental defenses of a target that he is flanking or that is denied its Dexterity bonus to AC, but in these cases, the bonuses are each reduced by 1.
At 9th level, the bonuses increase to +3, or +2 if the foe is merely flanked or denied its Dexterity bonus to AC.
Master poisoner (Ex) At 3rd level, an enchanting courtesan can use Craft (alchemy) to change a poison’s type. This requires 1 hour of work with an alchemist’s lab and a Craft (alchemy) skill check (DC = the poison’s save DC). If he’s successful, the poison’s type changes to contact, ingested, inhaled, or injury. If he fails the check, the poison is ruined. The enchanting courtesan receives a bonus equal to 1/2 his class level on Craft (alchemy) skill checks when working with poison.

I guess I have to update my gear list to match that listed in the turn recap...
The Raise Dead scroll was used on Mayor Jilia, correct?
I will removed the lesser restoration scroll as well and add the Protection from evil scroll and See Invisibility potion
Action 2:
A devoted core group led by Paralictor Ekodyre remains on-site, but the overall defense of the Keep is at an all-time low.”
Noravia wanted clarification so she asked, "When you say devoted, devoted to whom? Are they devoted to Thrune specifically or to their roles of guarding the Keep? If it's to the Keep, is there any way to negotiate with them?"
Action 3:
Once Tillia's mind was restored, Noravia's face lit up and she rushed over to the mage. She hugged Tillia with a smile. "I'm so happy you're back to normal. It's nerve-racking when people you consider to be like family are harmed. Who knew that when we got involved with the rebellion that we'd find family."
Action 4
"Jackdaw? The founder of the Silver Ravens?" Eirik asked disbelievingly. ”I get that the Paracount would love to keep her under lock and key, but she vanished from public eye long before the current management’s time, right? So… what has happened to her since, if Jillia didn’t have her in a cell while she was in power, and how did the Thrune come by her now?”
Action 2
Jillian deflated. "No mass breakout? Bummer. But you're right, if most of them are legit criminals and not just political prisoners, letting them out would certainly hurt our cause."
Action 4
"Jackdaw? The founder of the Silver Ravens?" Eirik asked disbelievingly. ”I get that the Paracount would love to keep her under lock and key, but she vanished from public eye long before the current management’s time, right? So… what has happened to her since, if Jillia didn’t have her in a cell while she was in power, and how did the Thrune come by her now?”
Jillian cocked an eyebrow. "How old is she? How long ago were the original Ravens founded?"
Action 4
Jillian cocked an eyebrow. "How old is she? How long ago were the original Ravens founded?"
Rexus thought for a moment, "Let's see, the original Ravens were captured in 4640 so roughly 75 years ago."
Laria nodded, "She's an elf so she certainly could be alive. I fear for her sanity though..."
------------------
I may recap later but I feel there's still plenty more of RP to be had from this turn...
Action 4
Jillian cocked an eyebrow. "How old is she? How long ago were the original Ravens founded?"
Rexus thought for a moment, "Let's see, the original Ravens were captured in 4640 so roughly 75 years ago."
Laria nodded, "She's an elf so she certainly could be alive. I fear for her sanity though..."
Noravia's brow wrinkled in thought, "But why use those words? Why call her the other old, frail bird?" And why imprison her in the Kintargo Keep and then not have it properly guarded? I know I sound like a parrot but are we walking into a trap?" The inquisitor couldn't shake a foreboding feeling, "And why imprison us? Is he planning on feeding off us or something? Maybe whatever kind of ritual he's planning to try to become immortal means that he needs us alive rather than dead." Noravia couldn't help but shudder at the thought.
"Maybe not murderers and stuff, but lots of people end up in prison that shouldn't be there. Maybe we can... I dunno... cast a spell to work out who the bad ones are?"
"You MUST be kidding." Caleb said. He took Noravia's hand and looked into her eye. "I could never do anything like that to you. Even if I wanted you! I love you!"
He hesitated, and tried to explain "I have to draw on my emotions to do something. Go down deep to get to the dark stuff, or concentrate on vengeance, at least."
"I told you lots of people were in prison who shouldn't be." Caleb said righteously.
Sorta. RP means I'm looking at Feeblemind, rather than teleport. I also get a 4th and can swap out a spell. I'm thinking Black Tentacles, or Greater Invisibility might be good. Ball Lightning or Aggressive Thundercloud deal damage, which is good.
[ooc]also battering blast (3) and see invisibility (2) would be good choices.
"You MUST be kidding." Caleb said. He took Noravia's hand and looked into her eye. "I could never do anything like that to you. Even if I wanted you! I love you!"
He hesitated, and tried to explain "I have to draw on my emotions to do something. Go down deep to get to the dark stuff, or concentrate on vengeance, at least."
Noravia looked down, feeling like she'd said something wrong. "I wasn't joking but it's obvious I don't fully understand how your magic works." She looked back up and her hazel eyes stared into his grey ones. "I know you love me, Caleb. And I love you which is why I was willing to help you practice. But if it wouldn't work then we'll figure something else out." She gave him a lopsided grin, "Or maybe wait until we have a fight."
Noravia's brow wrinkled in thought, "But why use those words? Why call her the other old, frail bird?" And why imprison her in the Kintargo Keep and then not have it properly guarded? I know I sound like a parrot but are we walking into a trap?" The inquisitor couldn't shake a foreboding feeling, "And why imprison us? Is he planning on feeding off us or something? Maybe whatever kind of ritual he's planning to try to become immortal means that he needs us alive rather than dead." Noravia couldn't help but shudder at the thought.
"Well, that sounds horrible and ominous. If that's the case, let's definitely not get captured alive. And we should break her out for sure, sane or not. If he's got hellish plans for her, a mercy kill would be kinder, if we can't take her with us."
Thinking about the conundrum of who to free and who to leave, she said, "Can we get a list or something of who's in there? Maybe we can have the mayor look through it, or even provide it, and we can see what she remembers about the real criminals. We can probably assume that anybody incarcerated there after she "left office" is not a murderer or anything. We could take the new prisoners with us?"
Sorry for not posting much the last week. I've been dealing with pain from a strained muscle and the meds are leaving me kind of worn out. Going to try and get a post up once I get home from work in a few hours.
Actions 1
Nothing, I'm a veggie.
Action 2
Tillia understood little of what was happening as Shensen led her into the font. She was very obedient as the diminutive Salina watched in concern while the Font's magic was worked on the wizard. As the ritual ended Tillia gave a sudden gasp as everything rushed back to her. She found herself wet and standing in the once fouled waters of the Font and began to sob as she realized what had happened to her. Salina gave a trill of delight that her wizard was back to normal and flitted over and around her as Tillia leaned against Shensen and began sobbing into the other woman's shoulder as the horror watched over her at being reduced like she was.
It took Tillia some time to come back to herself and regain her emotional equilibrium and when she did she held a finger out for Salina as she looked at Shensen and said, "Thank you Shensen, I owe you a great deal I doubt I can ever repay." She gave the woman a sad smile and continued, "If there is ever anything that I can do for you, please tell me. If it's within my power I will do it."
Action 3
When she was returned to the Wasp Nest Tillia listened intently to what Lady Docur had learned from Mayor Jillia and realized just how major this development was. She looked at the others and said, "We need to get Jackdaw back and as soon as possible. If there is anyone that could bring us low with information she they break it's Jackdaw." She smiled then, an almost evil grin, as she said, "But if we can rescue him and he will tell us we might find out about any number of things that could help us bring down Brassy Thrune."
