Maybe we just pay Makori off?
Whether or not Kilarra resorts to that depends entirely on if Makori was told where Rix is.
If she knows already, Kilarra won't escalate further.
If she doesn't know, Kilarra would. She's not letting a potential spy get at their only 'reliable' contact in the city. That's stupid.
But Kilarra's also outvoted and we're a group, so I understand if you don't allow her to and move on as if I don't start a brawl.
Kilarra'd be down with that. But didn't she say she was owed some stupid amount of money? Or am I crazy?
That would at least tell us if she's after the pay, like she says (which I doubt), or just wants to tag along with us (Kilarra considers this more likely).
As far as I know, you haven't specifically told her about the warehouse you're going to, you would have just informed her it was in the Medina and the general area. But when you leave the Shadow Stalkers behind, you're only a few minutes' walk away from the warehouse, so keep that in mind.
She didn't say the specific amount, but she said it was a five-figure sum.
I feel for ya, Killara. Uruelleth's not much of a thinker, but he's also really struggling to justify traveling with Makori. I just haven't had the time to make a worthwhile post.
The more I think of it, the more I think Kilarra is right. We need to draw a line here.
If we are going to spend time on this, let me cast alkasic communion to get info on her.
As a player I find Makori to be deeply suspicious. At best she's an ex red mantis or at least a serious player in the underworld. At worst she's everything Kilarra fears.
Talivar however is oblivious and reckons Kilarra is coming on a bit strong... Hm what to do? I need to think :)
Talia, you can certainly cast that spell, if you'd like. You'll just need to specify what event you're looking for information on and I'll roll the knowledge check for you.
Maybe Rapier ie how circumstances around it.
I forgot to mention, Talivar, that I really appreciate your commitment to keeping your out-of-character and in-character knowledge separate. It makes things a lot more realistic in the story.
Edit: Immersive is probably a better word than realistic.
No one ever takes Vorya seriously.
He is a really dangerous guy, you know!
Have I mentioned how much I enjoy playing someone as caustic and purposefully irritating as Kilarra? Cause I love it. Haha.
After living with a bunch of elves for the last few months, Uruelleth finds her quite refreshing.
Talivar appreciates you Vorya although he's not vocal about it.
You're lucky to have fellow characters that will tolerate Kilarra. : P
I'm lucky because she makes Ruel look cuddly in comparison.
GM- I have the faintest idea this mission was compromised from the start.
It does feel that way doesn't it! Still I suppose there could be other explanations for what's going on here.

You're welcome!
GM- Would detect magic, assuming the thing has some magical item, reveal its place to me allowing me to strike without miss chance?
I'm going to say no, at least not with the precision you're looking for. And it could always shift location within those 5 ft during its turn. Also, detect magic requires three rounds to get maximum info, so I'm not sure one round would give you enough precise information even if it did eventually reveal its precise location. The wording of the spell doesn't support one round being enough either - it's a cone-shaped emanation and it's not till the third round of casting it that you learn 'the strength and location of each aura.'
We made it to four digit posts, folks! : D Well done, everyone! Here's to the next one thousand!
"Invisible stalkers" are one of those unimaginatively named creatures that have a delightful absurdity when someone identifies it in-game.
Vorya is feeling old and useless.
Congrats at 4 digits. I usually celebrate page numbers myself but this works.
I actually laughed out loud Uruelleth. If you keep that up my wife is going to find out about my hobby.
:-D
Glad you're amused. Though I have to wonder how amused your wife will be if she finds out you're keeping your hobby from her... 8-{

My centre is giving way, my right is retreating, situation excellent, I am attacking.
Message to Marshal Joseph Joffre during the First Battle of the Marne (8 September 1914)
Ok, so this is my list of the loot from this place. Please double check and make sure I have everything!
2 wands: Unknown
a ring: +2 Ring of Protection
a cloak: Eagle Cloak
a pair of boots: Boots of striding
Mithril shirt
5,000 GP
Is that all of it? And if so, please call out what you want! We are finally in a city so time to do some shopping, I think.
Talivar claims nothing. Eventually he'll want some metamagic rods but those are expensive and for higher level play.
Either the ring or the boots would be great -- being a frontliner, more AC is always useful. I also plan to be very mobile, so the boots are also very desirable. However, if we've got someone slowed down by armor, we might want to give the boots to that person so they don't slow us down.
I forgot to mention it, but the Mithril Shirt is also magical. I'll just give that one to you: it's a +1 Mithril Shirt. And it's actually three unknown wands - one from Lupi and two from Rix's stash.
Well, I was doing this stash.
What kind of group is this and doesn't want an over-sized share of the loot? Come on guys, I should be getting trampled here.
Oh, I call the +1 Mithril Shirt! I have a +1 Chain Shirt to put up for grabs/sale in its place.
I'm fine with Ruel taking the boots and the ring.
Is the loot list accurate? I took the lonely potion of invisibility and the last three tanglefoot bags that were listed on there. If someone already took them but didn't remove them from the list let me know.
There's also a potion of fly unclaimed on the loot list? My gut says someone said they were taking it... Are we sure that's unclaimed?
I've got a potion of fly and invisibility in my inventory. Was there two potions of fly? I don't recall.
No, there was just one. It must have been left on the list by accident. I'll remove the fly potion and the invisibility from the unclaimed list.
Looks like Talia is slowed down by her armor. Unless she wants the cape (and she might), she should get the boots so we're all moving the same speed.
Its more my carrying capacity that's lowering my speed by a fraction. There is probably a spell or item for that (eventually) that would fix. Maybe I need to purchase some mule back cords
We could afford those without much trouble.
If we think its going to be relevant and important, then sure. I just feel guilty being the groups first purchase :/
Uruelleth's got some carrying capacity to spare. Especially since I lost a lot of my gear to the explosion. Is there something he could carry?
Unfortunately not, Talia is wearing her essential gear at present.
We should get you some Muleback cords if they're available.
How else do they move logs, Uruelleth?
I am detecting a faint hint of disdain for my amazing woodcutter story. Next time, I'll let uruelleth come up with the cover story.
There's a river that flows right into town?

wheelbarrow, that would be something!
I just thought of this: we have enough money for a bag of holding of varying degrees of capacity. Why not pick up one of those, and have something that will be useful going forward, rather than a 50 go cart that we'll have to ditch? (And it solves the problem of getting the body inside the inn, as Vorya pointed out.)
