LegitGM's Artifact Retrieval Agency (Inactive)

Game Master LegitName

We're out of initiative then, right?

Zathan walks up to the remaining bandit and without speaking, grabs him by the hair, drags him over to the fire, and (assuming he doesn't resist and nobody else interferes) binds his hands and feet (yanking out a guyline from one of the tents if necessary).

Without orders to attack, Jjagir follows, licking his chops and waiting for the bandit to make a wrong move so he can lunge at his throat.

Who want's to play "good cop"?

"you did well, Billy. We need him alive and conscious for now"
Sarah watches Zathan tying up the bandit.
unless someone else wants to, Sarah could do it

Winst will wander the other bandits, making sure they are well and truly unconscious or dead. And keep an eye out for others sneaking up on them.

Feel free Sarah.

Several have turned quite pale as they lay in bloody heaps, while others are still colorful - but blood is oozing.

Zathan goes over and stands next to Jjagir. Somehow, they both look like they're waiting for the opportunity to eat the man. Sarah, you're up.

Billy turns around and says "you hear that Mr. Fire? The leader lady says that you can't have him yet."

Btw, a couple of us have taken damage. I have 7 damage, and Sarah got 6 in the same round. Is that all of it?

Sarah, do you have any healing magic as a cleric, or is it only negative energy stuff? We should have thought to ask for a wand of CLW (or better yet, infernal healing) and maybe some potions when we were getting gear. Lay Z is here with us, right? Would he happen to have one?

Lay Z appears from a tent, and starts surveying the scene, waiting to see how interrogations proceed.

Sarah walks over to Zathan and the bandit
"while my companion here might wish you immediate and probably quite messy demise and would be within the right of the King's law, I do not wish for further waste of live. You see my dilemma, between what I am supposed to do and what I want to do. Now if you were to do something to aid us, my dilemma would be much easier to solve..."
don't have any prepared and can't spontaneously convert (at all)

Sarah - roll diplomacy of bluff depending on the approach you want to take (sounds pretty diplomatic, but you could be bluffing. You choose.)

Sarah, might want to double check your bonuses before you roll. Your sheet says +2 in both of those, but it also says you have an 18 CHA...

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
I have a -2 on Diplomacy and bluff from my flaw ,foul brand, the 8 pointed star on Sarah 's forhead. Wouldn't have changed much with a roll like that...

Zathan, which bandit did you grab?

The bandit laughs. "I aint' gonna tell ya' notin'!" He says.

B3, since you said he was the only one conscious.

Is bad cop up or is Sarah going to try again?

Well, with a -1 charisma, Zathan won't be terribly persuasive. But, to quote Jayne Cobb, "Pain is scary..."

Zathan pulls out his handaxe, takes ahold of the bandit's ear, and touches the blade to it just enough to draw blood before looking to Sarah, as if to ask permission to proceed.

Intimidate: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (17) - 1 = 16

The bandit gulps. "What do you want to know?"

"I ain't even... I was gonna get me a ear, too." --Jayne Cobb

Sarah thinks for a moment "let's start with a basic question, where is your camp and how many people are there?

Diplomacy (if needed): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Pain is scary!

Our camp is just over the hill to the north! There are lots of people. Boss wants everyone guarding the shipment...

"You guys have a ship?"

The bandit looks confused.

Goblins eating your posts, too?

This is the first update since mine =P

Also, Billy is not that bright, so he thought that shipments go on ships, meaning they have a ship =)

I know, I just couldn't see the bandit being smart enough to see through that.

what else do we want to know, it's been so long...

I considered responding to that question with a bevy of my own simplistic questions, but that seems to cruel.

As a refresher, the bandits have a shipment of goods, and you are you to retrieve any magical artifacts from it and put them in the Vault.

Gentle poke

hey that tickles
Sarah gives a somewhat friendly nod and after thinking for a moment asks her next question "how did you find our camp?"

I think it's down to me and Sarah.

I'm still here, my character just isn't the talkative type (this is why I usually try to play characters with at least moderately good charisma), so I've been waiting for someone else to do the talking. Let me know if you want me to kick the bandit or something.

The bandit is still scared and asks "Can I go now?"

any other questions?

None that a ten year old would reasonably ask.
