Uh-oh, that wasn't so smart.

"Sunset, of course you are a great shot too. Matter of fact, such a good shot I was worried pointing it out would seem insulting."

Sunset's hands clench at her sides, her shoulders arch.

"Nnng..." And she takes a deep breath....

"That...isn't really..the problem.." She says slowly, then shrugs as if to help take a 'crick' out of her neck.

"Look, we now know we've a pretty parcel from a Lich and that there's another group now after the thing. I say we keep the box shut and go looking for something ever more secure and 'untraceable' to keep said goodies in, hey? All this while we try and find out which Lich is it, along with all the possible people who might want a piece of said Lich." She suggests, the act of speaking her mind being a good mechanism for her to work out whatever bee is currently in her bonnet. :)

The loot from the corpses are: 2 leather armours, 2 masterwork bronze light maces and a masterwork spiked chain

Ooh! Shiny mace, (^_^)

Bronze weapons... how odd? Maybe they'll give us a clue as well.

I pick up one of the maces and examine it.

Voronwe

"What is out next step? Do we take this box to someone in Magnimar or the Twilight Academy in Galduria?"

Sunset nods,

Aye...well getting more information from some where is probably as good as any where." She frowns a little,

"So, should we plan of walking/riding or should we take ship?" She asks.

Which is closer? Magnimar, I am guessing?

Magnimar is closer and is a big city, but the Twilight Academy isn't more than a day more and they are a little more open to the non tradition magic teachings and may have more of an expert with this kind of thing

My people could assess it, but it is a long road.

I turn the bronze mace over in my hands: This appears to be Vudrani...

Sunset nods to both Durgen;s comments and Voronwe's assessment of the two maces.

"So...how much would..I mean will...a couple of bronze things like these stand out?' Sunset hefts the other mace, liking the weight and feel of the thing.

"Seems a shame not to get some use out of them..." Something seems to trouble Sunset and she grows quiet.

"I recommend Twilight Academy."

So what was the final plan?

Unless anyone objects, Hiro leads the group to the Twilight Academy.

Ok any provisions anyone wishes to make before traveling to the academy?

I guess it's a long journey so we should get trail rations in Sandpoint and look out for a caravan we can join which is going that way.

In Sandpoint, I will also look up the sherrif to warn him about what we encountered.

Aye, provisions since folks seem to have a hankering to walk the distance. Clothing and such for the appropriate time of year and weather.

Alright warning the sheriff is easy enough, finding a caravan on the other hand is harder, and will need a gather information (diplomacy) check

diplomacy1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Any caravans heading out toward the Twilight Academy?

Voronwe, you don't find a caravan heading to the Twilight Acadamy but you do find a pair of mages and their bodyguards (total of 6 men) who are heading there

Strength in numbers.

I approach the mages, asking if they would like to travel together with our company?

So the mages are an old (and i mean old, like 90) male human and a young male elf (about 90 as well)

the human mage "Oh are you a fellow practitioner of the mystical arts?"

he seems a little odd, though his looks as well as those of his companions are basically the archetypes they represent

If you don't mind i'd like to see how this encounter goes, you'll have to win them over to let you go with them

No sadly I have no talent for the magical arts.
I shrug widely: We travel to consult the wisdom of the Twilight Academy, strange deeds are afoot.

I can do diplomacy checks, if you'd like.

"A foolish endevour, the academy is the source of all strange deeds... at least most of the time, or it becomes the source of the strange going ons in no time" chuckles the elf

No diplomacy checks... yet...

"I am Durgen Grimhelm, Inquisitor of Torag. We are traveling to the Twilight Academy as well and would like to strengthen each others group by joining in the journey there."

"Well that seems resonable" says the man

the elf just looks at your paranoid and motions you to carry on explaining your position

Durgen Continues, "The road can be dangerous and filled with peril. With our strength of arms and access to magic both divine and arcane, we will dissuade those that might attack and punish those that do.

Plus as practitioners of the magic arts I am sure you study and learn. As such, joining us you no doubt will have learned something new by journey's end."

Sunset lingers apart from the conversation. Her gaze seeming more content to wander.

"Well they seem to know what they are talking about" says the man, the elf is still not convinced

"Our diversity of talents gives you more flexibility if you meet danger. Arcane magic is powerful, but alone it may find things that are too much. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth."

alright, who what to take the diplomacy check?

diplomacy check 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

anyone else?

Diplomacy Check 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Diplomacy:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19 (Unskilled)... (¬_¬)

Sunset simply watches this par even as they talk to her compatriots.

So if she only watches how come she makes a diplomacy check? looks?

So if she only watches how come she makes a diplomacy check? looks?

Reassuring presence?

Of course, an appropriate attitude is everything. (^_~)

Well with Durgen's presuasive speech and Sunset's attitude and looks you've managed to convince the elf to let you join them on the way to the academy, anything you wish to do before you leave?

Nothing here.

Other than as already posted...? Well, there's a thing or two the character would like to do, but such things are currently outside of her abilities/power/training....So, off to the Academy we go.

Durgen would like to buy a backpack to put the box in to make it harder to be swiped next time. Also buy a few more provisions to replace the ones used while gone.

I already decided to get supplies. Otherwise, I'm done.

Alright, you set off, the first day the journey is quiet, the man, the elf and the guards keep to them selves, its evening now and there is discussion on watch order, you're being asked to pitch in with guard duty over the night, what do you do?

I'll volunteer for a shift when it is dark out to make use of my darkvision.

Hiro volunteers for the first or last shift.

I'll take dusk, to take advantage of my low-light vision.

Well..there's four of us...So which shift would seem to need the extra bodies? I'm happy to also go middle shirt.

well basically the guards are saying if there are more people taking shifts everyone can be better rested
Right so guard shift is as follows:
Hiro
Voronwe
Sunset
Durgen
Guards

during your shift Voronwe make a perception check

perception1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
