OutPost 2018 - Sewer Dragons of Absalom (Inactive)

Game Master Helikon

@ Noldoli would say that Xarcious has filth fever.
"Nothing, I took my best to keep him alive. Maybe it was his bad eating and drinking. You know, scrounging food because one had spent all his money on betting."
You can see that the mug here has good water.
After you have given Greeves the money you can leave without problems.
Xyrcious also, with a bit of effort tells you all the gossip he knows about the sewer dragons.You can read all spoilers up to 25
Xarcious also tells the Pathfinders that the Sewer Dragons have taken over a massive underground theater, covered over long ago by the growing city. The kobolds have closed off most of the tunnels that access the complex, but there is a passage from within the sewer system that is still accessible.

After hearing the man's information, Natula seems to blow it off. Her mind focusing on the "trap building" aspect of the man's news--though anyone practiced in dungeon forays could have guessed.

"Whatever. Which one of you is the rogue?" She says looking down at Elvik, Gelbrik, Nodoli, and finally back up at Shayna and Vlazis....

She waits. She waits some more and stares.

"This is a dungeon expedition. You need a cleric (Valzis), a wizard (me), a fightery-type (shorty over there, I guess)," she says indicating Nodoli, "and a rogue...."

Natula takes a long hard look at the remaining party members. It is the sort of look that falls on a person like a brick.

She doesn't see a rogue.

She continues not seeing rogues.

"Great." she says expressing in her tone that clearly it is not.

More staring.

Maybe one could treat his fever?

Natula readies spontaneous immolation, ready to burn the disease from Xarcious's body and warm him up at the same time.

"While I cannot treat the man, perhaps we can find a temple that could ?"

Turning to Natula:

We need not a rogue with the light of Iomedae guiding our way.

Well, sometimes a lighter touch is needed...someone whose skills might be in a grey area... Shayna says.I will lead the way...my reflexes are pretty good
sorry...been feeling icky last couple days...cold ran through the house and finally caught me

You could try the heal skill?

Take too long; immolation is faster.

Heal: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Vlazis's gifts don't extend to removing diseases by a wave of his hand, yet.

Nonetheless, he is careful and reasonably well read, so he's able to at least assuage some of Xarcious's symptoms.

Aiding Vlazis:

Healing: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (5) + 0 = 5

Vlazis is able to treat Xarcious filth fever. The scholar is especial grateful and also tells you the following. "Wait a minute, wait a minute, I remember something! Yiddlepode, the Sewer Dragon chief ’s eldest offspring,
is likely open to bargaining with the Pathfinder Society; she is their best chance for a truce between the Society
and the Dragons. Further, it’s likely they can catch Yiddlepode aboveground in Absalom proper, as she
often dons a magical disguise to sneak into one of the operas in the Ivy District. While on the streets and in
the theaters of the city, Yiddlepode disguises herself as a halfling and is easy to spot because she only goes to
poorly attended shows where her disguise is less likely to be uncovered, and her blue opera cloak stands out like
a sore thumb."

"Fantastic, let's all go to the theater. I will always remember that time I was able to participate in that great treasure of my people: "There's no place like Gnome""

Planning on asking around for poorly attended shows:

Diplomacy(gather information): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

Vlazis smiles warmly, Yiddlepode, eh? There's always someone in any organization who can be convinced to see reason.

Noldoli will find out the following:
The Trouble with Swans is a hugely popular show performed by a largely gnome troupe. Serpent’s Song is a tragedy about a dragon who falls in love with a princess.
Crowds are expected to be thick for Fall from Glory, as Chelish operas are known to often feature actual bloodshed in place of special effects.
The only showings of Serpent’s Song that aren’t sold out for a month solid are its midnight performances and even they are said to be crowded.
Which show do you want to try?

To the Group: "Serpent’s Song is the most likely, although we could split the group and cover all three."

Shuffling his feet, head down he adds, mostly to himself: " I kinda wanna see "Trouble with Swans""

Anyone else or do all go to Trouble with swans?

Good idea...best to cover all our options...and yes, Serpent's song sounds like the best choice. I will go to check out Fall from Glory...

"Oh my, if I knew we were going to a musical, I'd have brought my suit." Elvik says but would follow Noldoli.

You won't regret it Shayna. It is truly a marvelous show. Turning to Noldoli he adds, I am happy to watch for our new friend at Serpent's Song if you wish to see the Swans.

Please make a Perception roll.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

perception: 1d20 ⇒ 4

Propping herself up (barely) over one armrest with her chin in her palm, her legs crossed with the top one kicking the seat in front of her, Natula intones a low mantra over and over again.

"Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored...."

In her head however she is listening for the emotional tug that will tell her if her little spy has found anything.

From the rafters above.

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Popcorn is not a thing. Natula scowls mentally.

perc: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14 Testing a theory, this roll to be disregarded

Unfortunately you do not manage to find her on the first night.
Please list which theater you go for the second night and an perception roll.

Noldoli wonders aloud: ""Now that we've been to all 3, which was most poorly attended?

Diplomacy(Gather Information): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Thinking that once we know that we can concentrate our efforts:

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

perception: 1d20 ⇒ 7

Head thrown back in the traditional Gah! pose with her eyes closed and her legs crossed with the top one kicking the seat in front of her, Natula thinks:

Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored....

In her head however she is listening for the emotional tug that will tell her if her little spy has found anything.

Again, from the rafters above.

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Hmm?

As variety is the spice of life, Vlazis will attend the Trouble with Swans.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

So far no one is able to find something strange.
And the Batfamiliar won´t help here I think!
How shall he find a specific colour?

Noldoli wonders about that gather information check he made before the second night.

"Now that we've been to all the shows which was least well attended?

Link.

Perception involves things like sound, smell and being able to spot snouts, and clawed feet as well. I doubt many sewer-dwelling kobolds openly walk about topside in the city.

Still no luck. I am waiting at for the others to give me their perception checks.

i thought i posted last night...my bad!Shayna tries her luck at finding the target again.
perc: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

Shayna again Fall for glory or another play.

Noldoli screams at the Gods: "Why do ye blind us to the simple knowledge of which of the plays we've visited has been least well attended?"

"Iomedae must be testing me, for no other reason is this knowledge being withheld."

Same...forgot to indicate...sorry!

Shayna, you notice nothing and you are somewhat sure you would have found her by now.
Can anyone please bot our Dwarven Warpriest?
You have now one more chance to find her.

Muttering that he is not able to see over the crowd, Elvikbot stomps up on stage to get a better view during the intermission, only to still be up there when the lights come on, and curtains part for the big musical song and dance number that follows.

perception (guidance, +2 if the kobold is disguised as unusual stonework): 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 3 + 1 = 18

perform (dance inconspicuously off-stage): 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (8) - 1 = 7

He does this thing where he bends his knees, and waggles them back and forth a bit, while waving his hands over them. He makes use of his jazz hands to draw attention away from his terrible footwork. After bumping a few dancers (and possibly breaking one of their toes he makes it back off the stage... by way of the orchestra pit.

Shaking a brass Chelaxian horn off of his leg Elvikbot casually returns to his seat.

I just noticed that Elvik has an ability called "bling fight" I'm guessing that gives you a bonus against guys like Flavor Flav. ;)

"Well?"

"Oh? Nothing, nothing...." Elvikbot says unconvincingly.

"ARRRRG! Natula growls. "Let's just go into the sewers and kill stuff! Noldoli first of course."

Elvik indeed manages to see a halfling woman in a blue cloak as she disappears into the theater.
Quickly he gathers the others and now you can either buy your tickets or try to sneak in.

So we haven't even gone into a theatre!? Who's seat have I been kicking for the last two shows? How much are tickets?

Vlazis is happy to pony up for a ticket.

Noldoli pays and makes his way inside looking for the blue cloaked halfling:

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
