Myrial, City of Rogues (Inactive)

Game Master Rynjin

So, unlock the next door?

In the next room, the people seem to be far less...distracted. It appears the man is talking to the courtesan, as she listens intently.

The important question. What uniform does he uses?

Okay in all seriousness the Mandrigal thing was a typo (why would the Mandrigal be wearing identification on them?). They're both Guard.

I thought so... Although I was half convinced that they were disguising themselves as Mandrigal. :P

Anyway... Can we hear what they are talking about?

Nothing significant. He's whispering sweet nothings in her ear and talking about his feelings and she's trying to look like she cares.

Drow sign language: Murder, death, kill.

Wait... We are still invisible from Jo's spell, right? Okay, then. Jo makes her fall asleep while Korak and Jorriko flank and hack.

Invisible Left Fist: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26 damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
Invisible Right Fist: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19 damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Well... Technically, I'm not invisible when my 2nd fist connects, but the target would still be flat-footed, since it's the "surprise round" (assuming he survives a whole round).

I think you can only use a standar action in the surprise round. Either way sleep for the girl and perhaps the guard. DC 20.

Why? I'm invisible. I move into flanking position and then, during the next "round", I full attack.

As another guard drops from a single hit, Korak suddenly gets the feeling that these guys are not very important nor powerful members of the Mandrigal.

The whore looks up at Korak after her initial startlement passes.

"Thankee mistah, I swear 'e was tryin' ta talk my ear off 'e was."

Heh... There you go again. It's Obsidian Guard, Rynjin. Not Mandrigal. ^^

Korak just nods to the woman and leaves the room. He whispers "Next..." when he passes by what he assumes is where Jo is standing. (She's invisible, after all.)

Better if we take the bodies, for latter interrogations

Next...

The next room contains...no one. There are signs that people were here recently, but no longer. They do not seem to have left via the door.

Perception to find out anything worthy of note.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28

There is a suspicious and barely noticeable seam on the floor around the bed.

One of the bed knobs appears to be able to be turned.

Detect magic/ traps: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (10) + 18 = 28

Jorriko gets a flash of magic at the edge of his range, but it winks out before he can get a real lock on it.

drow sign language:"Let's check the other rooms and then come back to this one..."

"whatever" -

nexxt room I guess.

At the door leading to the next room, Korak tries to listen (And smell, since now he got Scent! :D) for activity.

Korak hears moaning and smells...fluids.

He is assaulted by a number of unsavory smells, in fact. The floor of a brothel is better left un-smelled.

Should have thought of that, really...

"Eh... Not in the mood to cockblock/slay another small fry... Let's see what we can find in that empty room where Jorriko sensed magic.

disable: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19

Uh... What are you disabling?

secret door

So, disabled?

Jorriko turns the bedknob on the bed and the door opens.

It was neither locked nor trapped.

What kind of passage are we looking at here? What can we see/hear/(smell? :D) in it?

Taking 10 on Perception for a total of 21.

Sorry, have a bit more time for description now.

Jorriko turns the bedknob and there's a soft *click* as the bed pops up out of the ground ever so slightly.

Lifting the bed (and part of the floor underneath it) reveals a staircase, leading underground. It doesn't appear to go down too far (maybe 60-80 feet) before leveling off into a tunnel, though there could be more stairs down below, you can't quite tell.

It seems to be an old smuggler's tunnel or some kind of secret escape route, though who knows what it's being used for now.

"Can you guys see anything out of the ordinary in this tunnel? Maybe magic traps or alarms?" says Korak as he peeks at the tunnel and takes a sniff of the air coming in it. (I'll have lots of fun acting like Wolverine. lol.)

Taking 10 on Perception and Survival... For a total of 21 and 17, respectively.

Unrelated, but does anyone know how much it costs to add a skill bonus to a magic item?

Korak can tell someone was here recently, their smell lingers in the air faintly.

I use detect magic and take 10 in perception.

So, guys, every gentleman on this plane of existence know that women goes first, but as you are in no way gentlemen you can go first while I watch.

Korak yawns and speaks with a bored tone in his voice.

"I never minded being on the front lines, Tiny. But I'm not entering this hole before you guys assure me that there are no traps ready to trigger on my ass as soon as I put my feet down."

Korak have a great perception, he shoudl be the one looking for traps ^^

You have Detect Magic and Jorriko has Trap-Findindg and Detect Magic. So either you guys detect the traps or you walk into them before me. Your choice. Either way is fine for me... ^^

detect/ perception: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (8) + 18 = 26

So, does the dynamic duo find anything or should I throw Jo inside the tunnel?

I am Considering to permanently brainwash Korak at this point

I bet I can full-attack you to death before I fail a save. ;)

There is magic in the tunnel, but no traps that you can see.

The magic seems to be intended to automatically illuminate sections of the tunnel as people walk into it, and also to close the door and relatch it automatically.

"Jorriko, can you deactivate these light spells before they announce our presence? We can see in the dark, apparently, they can't."

Do they count as magic traps for the purpose of Trap finding? Also... Jo really should get a goggles of night ASAP.

We both have instead darkness abilities. I can't dispell it without getting in range. The other option is invisibility.

I think invisibility will deplete my second level spells, and JO do not have darkvision.

So, I use invisibility on korak and jo again?

Nah, save your spells... Jorriko could go invisible and look check if there is anyone nearby. If there isn't, we can simply down the corridor. Also, there is no guarantee that the lights won't activate just because we're invisible.

Let it be so, then. Vanish + stealth (43)

'Kay.

Jorriko moves on ahead, looking to see if anyone is nearby.

About 100 feet down he begins to hear voices, indistinct and undecipherable, but definitely voices coming from up ahead a ways.

Are those voices coming from somewhere in the tunnel itself or from an adjacent room?

You can't really tell. Just "ahead".
