(lurker note to Nevynxxx) Congratulations on Post 1500.
Why Thank you!
Ok, looks like pretty much everyone is on hold with real life stuff. I'll be pretty busy myself over the next week or so, but post away as you like....

Unless I missed something, my group doesn't know there's anything going on yet.
That is true, there is a little bit of trust going on, and that's why your group is not actually on a square yet :) Saying that, neither group actually knows what's going on yet....
Just wanted to make sure that was available...

Ok, ignoring Reth's slip above, here is the current situation for both groups. The rules for the chase, when it happens, which should be soon, are posted above (page 30, my second to last post) and the current "map" of the chase is posted on this page at the top.
Reth, Cal, Malik:
Init please!!!

Yeah, sorry about that just being clueless. Was starting to get worried that this thread was going to drop off the page (I would have saved it though :)

"Come on, come on." Atherton mutters as he watches the angry crowd. After a moment he stands away from the wall "Come on. We're going in there. Try to look like you belong."
He slips into the street, hurrying towards the building, trying to act like just another of the angry mob.
Initiative 19; Bluff 27 Yay! IC didn'tbetray me.

I'll just wait for Ward to check in...

As Ward and Ath get to the correct level, they see a door swinging open, with Reth's bulky frame in clear view looking at a bed, with what appears to be a youngish girl lying in it.

Oh for ******* sake

Ward' moves to block the top of the stairs.

Cal and Malik still need to make that Wis save mentioned (for them, way back on Page 30).
I also need to know what everyone is doing, and I'm missing Cal's init roll.....
I'll make Cal's rolls this evening if she hasn't managed to chip in by then....
Init:
Ath: 19
Ward: 12
Reth: 12
Malik: 6

Will: 1d20+3=18, Init: 1d20+2=8
"That girl just flickered! She's not really there! Quick, where has she gone?" Cal shouts in an amazed kind of excitement.

Init:
Ath: 19
Ward: 12
Reth: 12
Cal: 8
Malik: 6
Ath, your go.
In case anyone missed it in the spoilers the room description again....
This one-room flat combines all the amenities of a bedroom, a kitchen, and a painter’s studio into one fifteen-foot-square space, leaving little room for much else. A stack of cheese and bread sits on the counter next to several full waterskins, while the easel in the opposite corner holds a half-completed painting of an imp and a pseudodragon fighting atop a church steeple. A single window looks out over the tangled rooftops of the Shingles.

Home rolled a Perception check (16); IC isn't playing nice today.
Don't worry about it. I have no problem however it's rolled
Atherton glances around, looking for any obvious clues as to where their quarry went. "She had the right idea; there's a mob coming and I don't want to be here when they arrive."
As Ath stands in the room, a small breeze comes to him, through the half open, swinging window...
Ward/Reth, whoever posts first, goes first

Following Ath's gaze to the window, "Aw, you don't mean she...." Immediately he hops up on the bed and looks out the window trying to spot her.

As Reth pokes his head out of the window, he hears a feminine squeal, and turns to see a small blond woman, almost exactly like the one on the bed, disappear round the end of the building. Slithering her way around a ledge conveniently placed below the window.
At the same time, the image of the woman in the bed vanishes.

"Oh great, in case it had escaped peoples notice I'm not exactly built for chasing across roof tops,"
Ok heading for the window, if I can get out and clear so others won't be blocked I will do so otherwise its wait for the rest to get out so they don't have to dodge around my bulk,

The ledge looks pretty sturdy, you should be able to climb out, and side step away from the girl a pace, and leave room for everyone else to come out, and follow her possibly faster.
CAL!!!

Still no Cal??
Ok, Cal too springs out onto the ledge outside....Drawing her weapon as she goes....
Malik...

Those of you outside are a few stories up, and can see below, the mod amassing near the foot of the building, it doesn't appear as though they have seen you yet. The way Trina went is clear, if a little precarious, as she has headed off into the shingles.
Ath, your go
I've posted the rules for this twice now up above, but the basis are, move one grid thing per turn, roll one of the two checks to move two grids, and roll both to move three. If you miss a roll, you fall a bit, take some damage, and have to get back up.....
As you are inside Ath, I'm altering that slightly this turn, so you can get onto the grid with no roll, 1 roll moves you 1 grid, and two rolls moves you 2.....
Assume you can see Trina, and that she is within range for the weapons you have...

Atherton Dram |

Once out of the window, Atherton edges his way along the narrow ledge "Try not to do anything that'll get the attention of our friends down there."
Keeping his crossbow in hand, he follows their quarry.
Balance 16

Rethvian Ardimai |

Reth nods to Ath and hops over to the next rooftop where he kneels and pulls a white painted and fletched arrow from his quiver. The arrow flies true and hits the woman unerringly in the back (I hope she doesn't have better than a 26 AC!). He mutters, "With any luck I can put a quick end to this."
1d20+10=26, 1d8+5=8 Let's see if I can rain on the DMs parade <grin> The sleep arrow deals non-lethal damage and requires she make a Will save DC 11 or fall asleep. Heh, those are painful to use at 132 gp a pop though :(

![]() |

Going to need some specifics here. How far away is she? Does she have cover? What kind of distance do each of those blocks represent on the chase chart?
Assume each card represents 30ft for the purposes of determining range.
Trinia is 4 cards away at the moment (I'll put her on the map...)
As Reth's Arrow flies true, and impales Trinia, she stumbles, and looks back, but doesn't fall.....
Ward

Right! It's been so long I totally forgot about that. Crazy holidays :) I have a feeling this is going to be very expensive for Reth.....
Fortunately I have a book with these things written in....Although I seem to have misplaced Ward's, will have to trawl back through the lists to work that out.....

![]() |

Don't believe I ever got a harrow but then the late joining meant not in the reading so I can live without for the moment.Reth got one, you should too, I must have forgot!
I'll give Cal another kick this evening to try to get her back in the groove.
Good good
Ward takes his time moving across the rooftops, 1 square.
Cal....

![]() |

Cal grins at Ath and Ward's conservative approach, and with a grin back to them, dances her way along the walkway and over onto the next roof, using a small Gap the boys would probably be too large for to cut the distance once she is there, hips swaying all the way.
Malik

Malik Ventovi |

Malik tries to follow Cal as good as he can, but he measures his own competence in scaling those roofs not very high. He jumps to the first roof and tries to tumble through the cluttered crates on top of the building to have enough momentum to reach the second building.
At the edge of the cluttered parts of the roof Malik bumps hard with his shoulder into a stack of crates and stumbles onward.

Technically, failing the check by 5 or more, should mean a fall from the shingles and a trip to get back up....and damage, but I missed those rules when I posted above, and don't want to spoil the fun now, so Malik makes it one Sq....If not the two he intended!
Trinia pauses in her forward movement, and throws what appears to be bakers produce at Cal, not very accurately....As she turns to run again, she waves a small feather too...
Cal collapses, apparently giggling to herself on the rooftop, hips no longer swaying....
Ath

Atherton Dram |

Atherton curses as he sees Cal fall victim to the woman's spell. He darts nimbly across the rooftops, taking advantage of the skills built from dozens of quick escapes across the Shingles.
Tumble 1 23 Tumble 2 22 Sorry, I was away for a few days.

Echoing Ath's sentiments Reth lines up another shot at the fleeing form and then jumps to the next rooftop.
To hit and nonlethal damage. Needs to make another will DC 11 save if hit. 1d20+11=21, 1d8+5=9
If the MW bow bonus of +1 to hit and the +1 bonus for the magic arrow stack than it's a 22 to hit, not sure on that though

![]() |

Don't worry about it Arc.....As Ath finishes his go on Trinia's square, he gets to make a single grapple attempt to pin her down.....
Reth, since shooting the bow is a standard action, not full round, you get to move a square too, so I have done that....
Reth's arrow glances off Trinia's cloths, in the strangest of ways, and she barely seems to notice.
Cal is prone, so doesn't get to act....
That makes it Malik...
