Game Master Merisal The Risen

The Oik with the wolf responds by calling out to his friends " We got ourselves a missionary" He lets go of the rope holding the wolf Hotspur who leaps from the pier to attack Ignatius as the three jacketed thugs draw crossbows.

The Wolf charges in and takes a fair sized bite from his leg but fails to trip him

"Ouch!"

Yâble looks at the paladin\dog food who have been hurt by the wolf.

And that why honor is crap. think the skinny dwarf.

He draw his shortbow and aim at one of who didn't react.

ish.... Those guys are outside my normal range

The thug on the far pier takes an arrow from Yable "Ow! You'll pay for that!" he shouts as he fires his crossbow at the dwarf in the crows nest
crossbow: 1d20 ⇒ 4

"Death by crossbow for you heretic friend" shouts the wolf handler as he too fires his crossbow at Yable
crossbow: 1d20 ⇒ 19
crossbow confirm: 1d20 ⇒ 7
crossbowdamage: 1d8 ⇒ 1
"There's no escape from the will of Razmir" he growls appreciatively as the bolt thuds home

A third bolt flies towards Ignatius
crossbow: 1d20 ⇒ 18
crossbow damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6
"Here boss I thought we was killing the missionary" says the third
"Leave that to Hotspur you fool shoot the archer!" shouts back the leader

they loaded their crossbows before firing and Yable gets cover and Ignatius is in combat also Yable all enemies are within 30 feet of you which is no range penalty for a short bow

on her turn, Devonalia will target the closest foe to her with her archery skills

CLB+PBS: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 9 DMG: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 = 7

or not, i hate the dice generator

Move Action: Draw scimitar

Standard Action: strike at Hotspur the wolf; two-handing the scimitar
Scimitar: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20, Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Swift Action: Lay on Hands: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Free Action: "I had hoped we could resolve this peacefully."

Phred will draw his scimitar on the way to attack the closest Razmiri (assuming they are within 20').
power attack
to hit: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 nevermind

Devonalia curses her luck as Ignatius catches the wolf on its side it wriggles out the blow with a nasty gash in its side
Pared climbs the ladder climb: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22 and gets in the face of the thug at the end of the pier

Waldron, Arasnil
Up next then Wolf then Yable will have chance to shoot back

Waldron will cast Command at the leader to Approach. Will DC 13 or he has to move towards me as quickly as possible provoking attacks of opportunity. He yells,
"To me now foul swine!"

Receving the bolt, Yâble winces in very quiet way.
He tries to give his best snarky smile while looking at the wolf handler.

Really? That death? You Rasmirian have a strange concept of it. Or maybe it because the will of your god is a taaaaad insignificant.

Asarnil delays

The Wolf with its blood dripping from its side tries for Ignatius's other leg
wolf attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
and succeeds taking a big bite from the tasty paladin
bite damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
trip attempt: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
but once again Ignatius keeps his feet in spite of the pain

Ignatius
Phred
Waldron
Hotspur (Wolf)

"Oh for Calistria's lustful whip... I told you travelling by boat was a bad idea! Now we'll have to scrub the dock clean of their blood! The mere idea disgusts me!" exclaims Asarnil before moving near the thugs and unleashing a jet of dissonant colors right in front of their faces.

move in the best possible position to affect the highest number of enemies possible and cast color spray DC16 on them

Asarnil can only target one thug so chooeses the one to the rear thug will save: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5
Who proves no match for the elf's magic and falls from the pier to the deck of the ship below with a great thud which is soon echoed by a couple of dwarf swear words below. (The crew have also taken the opportunity to hide below decks with the dwarves)

Yâble looks at the unconscious mook. He is tempted to this easy hit.
But...there a limit in not having honor when you are a dwarf.

A second arrow flys to same target.

attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
dam: 1d6 ⇒ 3

-Posted with Wayfinder

The thug on the dock above approaches Waldron jumping down off the dock and losing his footing he crawls the last five feet to be at Waldrons feet. The thug on the other pier decideds its time to leave and begins to leg it

Initiative
Round 2

bold can act

Yable shot poorly
Asarnil sprayed well
Razmiran Thugs dumb and dumber
Devonalia
Ignatius
Phred
Waldron
Hotspur (Wolf) still standing like his annoying prey

Devonalia shoots at the closest thug threatening a teammate...
CLB: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 = 11..DMG: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 1 = 9

"The foes on the other end seem to have no stomach for this fight. Let us finish these ruffians here."

Waldron will swing at the thug at his feet with his Morningstar, but he hits the deck next to the thug.
attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
dam: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

"That was a warning shot!" He says to the thug, trying to play off the slighty uncertain swing.

Phred will again try to hack apart his foe.

power attack

to hit: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

However, it appears he is seasick or something.

2-hand scimitar: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Lay on hands: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Why this paladin is so little armored? He doesn't seem very agile? Thinks Yâble.

Ignatius sword strikes the wolf down and is free to move elsewhere on the boat. With his wolf dead and his companions unconscious or legging it the thug at Waldrons feet surrenders "OK I surrender you can have your damm flag" and begins to reach inside his jacket

I too wonder Yable but I am sure Ignatius has his reasons

Yâble senses this man is telling the truth.
I know but Yable is curious. I have a "naked" barbarian so i personally don"t find that strange. Sense motive take 10.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Waldron accepts the surrender, but remains cautious, he kicks the thugs weapon away "Tie them up and put them near the mast."

Devonalia scans the area to ensure it is a surrender and not some scam to let the group put their guard down...

The jacketed guy pulls out a blue pennant with a white mask on it. "No No don't tie me up to the mast! What you going to do when the real patrol turns up and a grey jacket is tied to the mast!"

"He's right, you know. Tie them up and put them below deck and let them pray to Razmir or whatever else they worship in this damned backwater that their buddies do not sink us..." says Asarnil snatching the flag from the surrendering thug's hand.

Yable just nods his head.

An exasperated dwarven voice can be heard below "Do you hear that Prassad? they are seriously considering taking prisonners of town officials and I thought Pathfinders were smart!! I've a good mind to go up there and tell em what for"

loot wise the two 'officials' have a potion of cure light wounds, a crossbow, a short sword, padded armour and 12 crossbow bolts each

"Best we just leave them and move on. We don't need more trouble then we'll find on our own anyway. "

what???realising his bad hearing.

I was thinking that Arsanil didn't want to tie them up! And i was accepting it!!!!

I have read that Asarnil was nodding the jacketed guy. I was in error. sorry.

Yâble climbs down and walks toward the paladin.

Hey... Ignatius right?,he whispers. I need your help. As you see, i am trying to have a trade for one of the two. But.. i am feeling, we are not in a good path. So i know a good face is crucial now. I am aiming to do this with Tamel. So let's try to be the most friendly with him. Ok?

Asarnil shrugs:"Throw them into the river right now for all I care. Fact is we cannot just beat these bullies up and then let them go scot free unless we want to have the whole razmiran fleet on our heels. So, what do you suggets we should do with these idiots here? They tried to kill us but seeing how they have surrendered killing them right now would be bad taste..." says the elf contemplating the razmiran tolltakers.

The crew emereges from below deck and begin untying the barge from the dock "The master don't want captives on the ship and wants to be underway as quick as possible before more guards turn up" says the boat captian obviously referring to Tamal when he says master

If you really want to take em prisonner the crew can't say no but I it will add complications to your journey. What authorities can you hand them over to without landing yourself in it

Heu... let's them go? Official thugs are still official.

"As long as we are sure they won't come after us. What do you say? Would you be good crooked officials and forgive and forget or should we butcher you here and now?" says Asarnil sporting a sinister grin as he speaks...

"Toss them over and let them swim to freedom is my vote."

The paladin takes a deep breath. The pain from the wolf's attacks keeps him preoccupied--and, therefore, blissfully unaware of the party's discussion to throw captives overboard...

Lay on Hands: 1d6 ⇒ 2 Though his wounds close quickly, the memory of the pain remains.

"Thank you, Sarenrae, for granting me the strength to help keep my companions safe," he prays silently.

Ignatius heads below deck to check on the VIP passengers. "Folks, are you quite alright down there? Amauhak, Metella, Temel, are any of you injured?"

You grab the loot and leave two officials On the docks. The crew quickly un moor the barge and the few witnesses to the fight have made themselves very scarce although you do hear a shouts of "Guards! Guards!" from some once out of sight

The pennant is quickly hoisted as you sail out of Xer. You sail further up the glass river without too much incident until...

[ooc]Please indicate where you want to be on the ship. I hope to post tomorrow evening when the next encounter on the boat occurs. I will also update you when this occurs in game time terms So make sure any healing you mean to do is done before then(ie whether it is an hour or two or a day or two after leaving Xer)

Phred will keep his aft position.

Waldron will use one of his Channel Energy to top anyone off.

heal: 1d6 ⇒ 4

He will then go back and man the same spot in the bow.

Devonalia took no damage and will remain in the same position as before, if it worked last time why nix it.

Asarnil will go below deck for meditation. He will use his time to memorize his spells again"

Middle of boat again for me.

Middle of the boat, i am. says Yable. And before he has scotch the cloth of permission in the boat.

A couple of hours after you leave Xer, Amauhak the dwarven mystic with leathery skin and his head swathed in a bright yellow scarf asks you all below in the cabin "I have heard Pathfinders like to come up with creative solutions. I was wondering if you could enlighten us all on how you plan to explore this Grey Revelation Inn without arousing suspicions"

Having reread the scenario there is a discussion first. I also hope to see less of two purple goblins and a strange metalic case in the next few days

"Well that's easy: we enter the inn, as costumers and when the owners sleep we search it for clues..." says Asarnil apparently feeling confident about his almost non existent stealth...

"Of course they could be more than simple innkeepers... and in that case I think that stunning them senseless will do the trick nicely... they MIGHT get a tad suspicious after that though" he finishes chuckling to himself.

"Might i add that we enter in different groups at different intervals so as to portray we are not affiliated with each other and see if there are other persons of interest watching the group that makes contact with the owners...?"

Metella suggests the party pose as religious
pilgrims "Perhaps you would be seeking answers to spiritual questions that require privacy and freedom of movement."

Passad, rather deprecatingly dismisses the pilgrim suggestion as
"Pilgrims, transparent nonsense", a challenge that clearly offends Metella. "Now merchants seeking a way station for a regular
trade caravan, as such a cover would require unfettered
access to the property in order to assess its amenities. sound a much better proposition to me"

Metella counters "Yes following your advice went so smoothly in Xer" in a very sarcastic tone

At this point there is a shout from the main deck. You emerge to find the river narrows ahead, flowing around a central isle thick
with trees and vegetation. The northern fork of the river runs beneath a canopy formed by the isle’s overhanging trees and riverside foliage while to the south, the river is open to the sky above.

"I'm inclined to take the southern fork. Less chance of the mast getting caught in the trees But I don't like the smell of this." says the sailing master

Metella suggests the party pose as religious

pilgrims "Perhaps you would be seeking answers to spiritual questions that require privacy and freedom of movement."

Ignatius smiles happily.

Passad, rather deprecatingly dismisses the pilgrim suggestion as "Pilgrims, transparent nonsense", a challenge that clearly offends Metella. "Now merchants seeking a way station for a regular trade caravan, as such a cover would require unfettered access to the property in order to assess its amenities. sound a much better proposition to me"

Ignatius seems crestfallen.
