Kingmaker: The Stolen Lands [Gestalt]

Game Master Æroden

"Well....umm..thank you sly. Well lets see what is in the chest. Might be something that can help us against the bandits.

That can easily be arranged, he did say that he wanted Bearn to return home, he never said in what condition, and since he is not here to play him, all you need to do to get him to come along, would be a diplomacy check.

Sly just for this unbelieveable acompishment I bestow on you the title of Lizz of the Fizz!

Fizzy stands, with his hand resting over his huge belly, hair bright and tall, and now the color of Sly, with his scarf blowing in his Prestidigitated wind.

For this great deed, when we next have time you shall receive your own entire cake!

Would that I could make some pie...I miss pie. Fizzmetal are there any berries around here?

also he doesn't ahve to die, maybe he decides that this adventuring is not for him after bloodshed...he can leave his batter w me!

Earlier

Master Baker. We started poorly, perhaps you would accompany the company of the Fizz, with a guest appearance from Fionn, on our sojourn to destroy these bandits?

1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

Sly swivels his head side to side in a confused way, "Thank you? Yes the chest is yours but if there be shineys they be mine, I would be willing to part with a few for traveling accomodations of the shineys."

Lizz of the Fizz, let us see what is inside at last, then we will know if they are shiny or not. They might be musty scrolls or dusty potions, or rusty daggers or...

Fizzy goes on for quite some time

Fizzywiddle works with the keys and finally unlocks the chest. You open up the chest and BOOM!!!!! 5d4 ⇒ (4, 3, 4, 4, 3) = 18 fire damage, Reflex Save DC 16 for 1/2 damage. This is for everyone: Vik, Fizzy, Rekka, and Sly.

Once you all recover from the fiery explosion. In the chest you can see gold and gems, with a really big sphere on top. The top of the chest is lined with padding and felt. The sphere appears to be made of crystal or some kind of clear gem.

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

youch! Master Baker...perhaps a little healing...

Fizzy then does a detect magic

Rekka Dodge!: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

She just makes it out of the way singing her tail and ears and fur, and gives a startled squeal that sounds more like a scared rat than it does any sort of human sound.

She then creeps forward to sniff at the chest and the sphere therein.

"Ehhh, I don't want thossse kind of thingsss...Aaaahhhhh!" Sly jumps away as the lid is opened and the fire explodes. 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22
"Some healing please, just a little one should do it."

Bearn heals each individual with a cure light wounds.
fizzy 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Rekka 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
sly 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Vik 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Rekka 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

channel 3 times 3d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 2) = 6

*Edit

Fuzzhealer can you help out a Gnome a bit?

down 13 still, I have two spells left I figure I should hold onto them for the fight

Rekka relaxes a bit, and scuttles to heal Fizzy as well.

Healz: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Fizzy stands up tall as Rekkla soothes all his burns.

He flashes her a winning smile and pulls out his last piece of cake and offers it to her.

Then he goes back to the box, and detects magic.

Rekka eats her cake. Nom nom nom. Rekka is coming to like cake almost as much as Sly!

More healing above from Bearn, who is now tapped out, but still willing to lend his hammer to the fight.

He pulls out his healing kit and takes his time with each of you wrapping and soothing your wounds, healing each of you another
fizzy 1d3 ⇒ 1
vik 1d3 ⇒ 2
sly 1d3 ⇒ 3
Rekka 1d3 ⇒ 3 thus he took a 10 on his healing check giving him a 19, not enough but if Rekka assists, and takes a ten it works! '21' for a DC 20.
Edit*

Rekka is now at full hit points, Vik is at 17 unless he saved then he is a full, Fizzy the cure light given to Rekka is now given to you... Fizzy you are now at full hit points.

I almost TPK you with a trap! lol, sorry guys.

Fizzy you can tell that the metal chest and the big crystal sphere are magical.

Details are boring! Fuzzhealer can you figure out what the box and gem do?

woo hoo full health! Who would have thought we NEED a rogue :) I knew it was trapped but Fizzy does not really think about consequences...that is why he wants Vik and Fionn to plan the attack

That would have been hilarious if we TPK'd there

Vik & Rekka it looks to be up to you guys to come up with a plan...

Just so we don't forget, I am rolling Vik's Reflex save 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Sly is still singed, but he is not complaining.

"Ooooohhhhh look at all those shineys, Fizzy you touch it first." Sly looks at him slyly, dropping his neck down but still looking at Fizzy.

Rekka sniffs around the box. She shakes her head a bit, chittering to herself. She shakes her head, "I'm not sure if I can, actually. I did not prepare to read magic the way you did today." Sniff-sniff-sniff.

"I assume the box is triggered to crispify anyone who opens it thought." That's logical!

can we tag team my detect and her spellcraft

ref save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

Saved hurah!!!

[ooc]Do we have any intel on where the bandits are, or how many ...any type of layout?? If not we need to recon the area and see what the lay of the land is.

Vick, did you mean to do your post out of character? For those would be valid questions to ask in game. Vik is at full hit points then!

No fizzy it does not work that way. She can assume, but then again most the time when they are using detect magic and spellcraft they are assuming most the time.

"Fizzy touch it, Touch it," Sly prods you with his words, making his voice more spooky. Then he falls on the ground laughing.

Yes I did mean it out of character....sorry about that...I was not sure if we had any intel about the bandits...I know some people seemed to have more info than others, so I just wanted to get a baseline as to what we knew about them and their base.

Yes, and that baseline would be great to get if you asked those questions in game, rather than out of game. You SHOULD ask them in game! I will not give you info as the DM for your characters should have any info, or can't remember.

Right..sorry

Vik asks aloud, of the entire group of people in the camp at this moment.
"What do we know about these bandits? Do we have any idea where they are located, their numbers? I know a dragon ate a bunch, so how many escaped and to where did they go? Any information that you may have will be invaluable to us as we try to go forward with a plan."

Fizzy uses Prestidigitate to lift some shiny baubles in the air and floats it near Sly

It's coming for you Sly!!!

Fizzy giggles

Captain, I recall that the leader fights with two axes...so barbaric... and is an evil monster. We should be able to hit them early in the morning and surprise them, perhaps even sneak in and take her out asleep

Right now is a bit after dawn.

"Only the dragon knows... oh wait I was there... Hmmm, well I think it got a handful." Sly lifts up one of his hands, lifting one finger at a time, showing five fingers/claws, then he sees the floating baubles. Sly jumps up and grabs the floating baubles.

Was one of them the massive sphere?
The bandit who traveled with you gave some good info, travel to where the tree lines come together in the North, the path should be near. Follow the path going North, it should turn about to head you South. Stay on the path for there are traps in the forest surrounding their camp. There should be about two dozen bandits, but now there are less.

nope just some other shonies

did alex say she was on vacation or something? or is this a disappearance a la our rogue and fionn?

Rekka sniffs at the orbs curiously, but has no way to identify them at the moment.

After reviewing the scant information that they had on these bandits, Vik has come up with a tentative plan.
"Since we are not sure of their location, or numbers, we will need to scout the area out first. I suspect either a early morning or early evening attack might be best, as we will be attacking either as they are preparing for sleep, or just getting up. With the thick forest, we should try to close with them quickly, as missile weapons might be hampered by the foliage. Does anyone have anything to add??"

You are brilliant Captain!

"Who look ahead?" Sly asks expectantly, as he stretches up.

Vik looks off in the direction that Sly indicated to see what the little lizard has spotted.

"Why you look over there? I was asking who would look ahead?" Sly looks like he is pouting.

Obviously the Liz of the Fizz is most capable to look ahead.

Keep Fuzzwiddle safe, but leave her tied up Fizzy says to the men staying behind. [/b]

Who me? No you can call me The Sly or Sly, not Liz nor Liz of the Fizz! Sly says rather indignantly.

But you are the Lizz of the Fizz Sly. You earned that glorious title by your bravery and intelligence! That title grants you access to cake and pie when the Fizz cooks it.

Bluff 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18argh! [/ooc]

"Ahh..I understand you now Sly. Would you do the honours of being our forward scout?"

"Pie and cake is good... I see your point... okey it works..." Sly thinks through each point, pausing, and following the logic. Then he perks up to Vik, "Yes, I go scout some more, bring straglers to you, we meet over there where the tree lines come together." With that he is gone, a hundred miles per hour... ZZZZZiiiiipppppp!!!!!! You are surprised you don't see flames following him.

Captain shall we set an ambush? Where should Fionn there go, and how about myself and Fuzzhealer?

Fionn is ready to charge with his horse as needed. "I would suggest that I stand out in the open, let any bandits charge at me and you may jump from the tree line near the convergence point."

"That would be my plan as well. You can draw them out and we will move against their flank. If any break and run, you will be able to sweep them up!"

And Rekka ... Rekka will lurk in the back! And heal.

Vik smiles at the little rat girl. "Do not fear. I would keep you close so as not to get lost in the melee, and to have a healer at hand. Would you be up to this?"

Vik what is the name of your swordlord?
Fionn might be joining back with us! YAY!
