You stood in front of a theater of course!
5gp per ticket

Shayna drops a few coins and enters. She looks for a seat somewhat close to the target, but not too far.Say 30 ft

You stood in front of a theater of course!

5gp per ticket

They have a very nice orchestra pit outside, though the rafters seem too high.

Natula casts vanish and walks in.

Vlazis quirks an eyebrow at Natula's decision, but pays his own way, trying to find a seat with a clear view of the hopefully helpful kobold.

Elvik pays the ticket fee and follows his comrades, trying to find the kobold in disguise in the crowd.
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

You see the gnome in a blue cloak a bit in the back.

Vlazis will wait for the intermission before approaching her for a conversation.

perception: 1d20 ⇒ 8

Agitated, Natula sits kicking the seat in front of her.

"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. The chairs outside were better. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored...."

Still she is listening for the emotional tug that will tell her if her little spy has found their quarry.

Again, from above in the rafters.

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

!!! Heh, it's killer time. Natula smiles evilly.

The bat does see hundreds of people a few gnomes, one with a blue cloak.

(Noldoli had an 18 at the bottom of page 2)

Noldoli either sees the blue cloak and makes his way in that direction, or sees his fellow Pathfinders moving and follows them.

Noldoli does see the gnome.

Noldoli slowly makes his way over, trying to gesture to the others to play it cool, but to be in key locations in case she bolts.

"Good day, may the light of Iomedae be on you. Enjoying the play?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

The gnome woman looks at you angrily and hisses."Be quite! Let me enjoy the play. In the break!"

Noldoli is taken aback at his own faux pas. He sits meekily, waiting for the break.

(Also Noldoli could have sworn the blue cloaked figure was a Halfling, not a Gnome)

Half-gnome! Mom was into huge purple eyebrows; dad was a furry-foot-fetishist.

"Well?" ask Natula staring at the full gnome. "What did she say?"

Moves to perch above the half-gnome kobold.

sorry she is a halfling.

Maybe it's just not a very good disguise check. ;)

"Quiet", Noldoli hisses at Natula "She'll talk to us at the break, it seemed a reasonable request"

Vlazis shakes his head ruefully, What barbarians am I working with that they don't know to wait for the intermission!

As you agree to wait for the intermission the halfling womanagrees to meet you at a bar stand.
"What do you want from poor Leanora?"
She looks not unfriendly.

Before approaching, Vlazis will prepare with Enhanced Diplomacy

Greetings madam. My name is Vlazis Chibuzo, called by some The Beloved. Am I correct that I have the honor of speaking with Yiddlepode of the Sewer Dragons?

If so, this is a very fortunate evening for both of us. There have been skirmishes and unpleasantness between my allies at the Pathfinder Society and your people. They will not continue. It is my fervent hope that they end because of a partnership beneficial to us both, rather than anything more final.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21

Assisting: "Yeah, what he said."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Elvik stays quiet and listens.

The woman looks at you and shrugs."As Yiddlepode makes her way to the exit, she explains her problem. “I would like to see a lasting partnership between the Society and my tribe but I cannot act against my father’s wishes. For now you will have to deal with him. He is convinced that if he has a showdown with the Pathfinder Society and defeats their agents, we will be able to demand tribute from the Society and bring the other kobold tribes under our leadership. When you finish bargaining with my father, perhaps we will have an opportunity for an extended conversation about a truce and I will have a bit more leeway.”
As this is concluded it is time to go down below.
The sewers beneath Absalom vary in age, state of repair, and size. Following Xarcious’s directions, the PCs find themselves in a particularly cramped section deep beneath the city’s Westgate district. Here, tall characters scrape their heads on the low 7-foot ceilings and the walkways on either side of the sewage channel are narrow and slippery.
Medium creatures must make a DC 10 Acrobatics check to charge or move more than their normal movement speed in a round.
Failing the check means that characters can spend a move action to regain their balance or else fall prone.
Failing the checkby 5 or more means they fall into the sewage channel.
Small creatures make the same check with a +5 bonus on the roll.

Natula rolls her eyes and waits for the negotiations to end, all the wile thinking: 'Perhaps, a necromancer within the Society could animate your tribe's remains once we return, creating a lasting tie between our respective groups.' Why are we even talking to this thing? Back in the day on the borderlands grandpa would be spearing this thing's get in a sewer nursery by now.

"Sure. Let's go bargain."

When they arrive in sewer, Natula looks less agitated. (Never agrivate your party evoker, kids.)

"Finally."

She opens her haversack and before she can reach inside an already lit everburning torch emerges. She takes the torch, holds aloft and smugly looks for Noldoli to lead on.

If Noldoli looks her way she smirks. She keeps her wand of magic missile ready in her free hand.

Once the pathfinders are close to the lair, Vlazis uncovers his own source of eternally burning flame, blesses his party in the name of the First King, and sets an awfully human looking femur orbiting around himself. defending bone

Best to deal with them from a position of strength, if their hubris has led them to underestimate us.

Elvik nods and follows the others. "Bargaining is better than punching." he says.

"But immolation is best.... It was something our teacher used to say."

The age of these tunnels shows in its crumbling walls, and the walkways along the deep central sewage channel are treacherously narrow, making footing uncertain. Near the intersection Xarcious indicated, territorial markings fill the walls, smattered with warnings written in the common tongue: “Keep out.” Scorch marks on the ground and walls smell faintly of ozone. Xarcious’s directions indicate that the entrance to the Sewer Dragons’ lair is through a grate in the east passage off a large, four-way intersection.

Does she get cover from the people in front of her? ;)

Noldoli examines the moss on the wall trying to determine which way is North.

Did anyone hear a noise? Like a crossbow bolt impaling an morally questionable glass cannon?

Is there a map available for us to look at?

Map is up

@Noticula Yes thats why there was a malus.

???! Drunk GMing? ;)

Vlazis enhances Shayna's precision and speed, then darts forward, hoping to find cover against the unseen snipers. cat's grace

Vlazis is currently shedding normal light to a 20' radius, but should increase the 20 feet beyond that to dim light as well courtesy of his continual flame.
Also, malus as in the opposite of a bonus, though bringing Nocticula into things can only cause problems :p

Noldoli attempts to Antagonize the the crossbow wielder, slamming his sword into his shield and advancing forward 15 ft. "For ahy-OH-meh-day"

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (17) + 0 = 17 DC 20 Swift Action

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25 DC equal to 10 + the target’s Hit Dice + the target’s Wisdom mod

Antagonize

The kobolds are still quite some distance away. And they do not speak common.
Rest of the pathfinders are up. If you do not act in the next 8 hours, I will bot you as we are on a tight schedule.

All the others walk closer, but alas apart from those with darkvision, no one can see the kobolds yet. Elvik casts bless.
The kobolds shoot again.
Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 121d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7Noldi miss
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 221d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 Naticula
Naticula must make a refl save to avoid being tangled.
Pathfinders

Shayna darts forward and gets next to the archer on the right. She readies a defensive strike if attacked.

parry/riposte: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 231d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 271d8 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 3 = 15

But Halcyon, I thought I was Noticula? Is Naticola Nodloli?

Retire, Refocus, Reflex shave: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

N(whatever her name is) moves back behind the last intersection with her light. "Get some light up there!"

Since I really don't understand who is being hit with what I'll just wait until you say she's unconscious to heal up. ;)

For what it's worth, Vlazis cast bless a little bit before the fight started, so if we hear from Elvik soon, they may want to go a different direction.

Cease this foolishness. Bring us to your master!

Vlazis makes a dashing figure as he moves forward into the corridor, dark power rolling forth from him in a wave.

The kobolds have to take a DC 18 will save or be dazed for a round, pass or fail they'll take Half of: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 5) = 6

As the kobold has no melee weapon he does not attack Shayna.Shayna, a Falcata has 19-20/x3. You rolled an 18?
Vlazis, what do you do? Since when does bless daze people?

Negative Energy channeling (rulership variant), selectively avoiding my party members. The bless (and defending bone) was back when we were first approaching the lair.

Once the pathfinders are close to the lair, Vlazis uncovers his own source of eternally burning flame, blesses his party in the name of the First King, and sets an awfully human looking femur orbiting around himself. defending bone

ah sorry...my mind read the 18+9 as 19+8...my bad....too bad though...bye bye kobold if that hit...lol
