Phaeselis: the City of Psionics campaign

solinas smiles too

Circe's eyes go wide at being grabbed.

At home no one wanted to touch me, everyone was afraid. But here they grab me like, like...

Circe forcibly removes LifeGiver's arms and places his hands on the railing. It is a good thing for you that your hands were not 3 inches higher. Or perhaps you would enjoy life without arms?

And not only without arms.

The small ferry makes it's way across the river with the din of the waterfall to the left of you. The waterfall spills over, making the air and river fresh. The estuary is just down river about six miles.

"So, going to the Phoenician quarter, mind if I make some small talk?" the halfling asks.

Not at all you, what are the lastest gossip about the quarter?

Small talk? Is that an attempt at humor from a small person? Circe asks deadpan.

"Cute. Simple, I heard that the bottomthumps and the Levenskills are planning a marriage," he says. "Jarrel Bottomthump is marrying Zoe Levenskill. I would never seen it happen."

and what d you think is making this marriage possible?

know local: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24 what do i know of these people

"I really have no idea, except that she loves him, and he loves her," he said. "its all a spooky wedding, really. Especially with the halflings that keep disappearing from the outlying farms. "

"Yes, I had heard about that. Bottomthump farm seems to be in the center of an area where unexplained disappearances are commonplace. I don't leave the city too much, myself."

Unexplained Disappearances? Is it customary here for children to be kidnapped and halflings to go missing? Could those things be related?

Did an man wearing a bronze eye piece took the ferry not long ago? added solinas with a charming smile

"Well, he did, come to think of it," said the halfling. "Terrible thing, really. The way hair grew out of his ears gave me the shivers."

Yes i apparently missed him not too long ago for a consultation but since we were late he apparently took off as the little girl with him hurt herself playing while waiting for us. instantly replied Solinas

"Well, it is a big city. I'm no guard captain but I imagine there are a fair share of disappearances. But these ones seemed.... for cause" Ducar says in response to Circe's question.

the ferry approaches the other side.

I see the other shore thank you for the conversation Mr Halfling she says with a smile

"And the safe passage, of course."

Once on the other side, Solinas will start asking questions to shops owners and sutch in order to get to the alchemyst's house

Okay.

Ducar will follow Solinas's lead, having no more information than she does.

Circe will follow the lead of the others, discreetly taking in the sights and sounds of the unfamiliar city.

The city has a stranger mode of architecture. Although they are all hellenic styled houses, many of the houses are also different. The halfling stops at the docks and says, "All ashore who is going ashore. I always wanted to say that."

Ducar allows lifebringer to leave the boat, then steps on land.

tks for the ride

"No problem," he said.

Solinas will wander around asking for directions to the alchemyst house, giving if needed his description

Ducar will follow Solinas's lead, pretending that she is a customer-to-be of the alchemist.

know local: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
bluff: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

Circe will follow the other two, looking impatient and about to be very annoyed.

Intimidate: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

As annoyances go --
1d4 ⇒ 4

Someone bumps into circe. "Oh, sorry about that, I'm so clumsy!" he says.

secret roll: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

He then leaves, taking one of your baubles. You don't notice it gone until a second later. It was one of your rings.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

Solinas will try to pick up the crowd the theif, if she does see him, she will start running after him

That was enough. :) He's weaving and dodging his way through the light crowd of people.

Solinas will point to the running theif and simply say to the party After Him and then starts running

Ducar will pull a hood over her head and run to get closer to the thief.

Bluff is a good one to do mimicry. Secondly, excuse my no map because I'm rusty, and thirdly, the closest skill to weave in and out of traffic to your chosen alley is Acrobatics -- but in Rolemaster the skill is something different.

You will also need a knowledge: local roll.

You made it to an alley way, at least. :)

with my skills i should be able to catch up to him

The theif looks at you, grins as he runs.

Make a will save.

Really? All I want to do is earn an honest living in this place, and someone steals from me. REALLY? Circe gets mad and runs full speed after the thief with the others.

Can I get line-of-sight within 30' of him?

Where did he go?

will: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

Yes, you can. Circe.

Sol, he disappears right in front of you (it was a will save against a psychic effect.)

already said what my plan was, i continue to try to do that

Figuring that the effect the thief used was a temporary one Solinas will try to look for clues to hers wear abouts.

(either bumped people in the streets but something that isn't there or ally with no one that would make a logical choice.)

You find a pot that was broke to pieces. And you also find a some people being bumped. He's also coming Ducar's way, and Ducar, Circe, and Lifegiver can see him!

Solinas will resume giving chase to him then !

When she finally can see the thief again, Circe screams at him with a focused cry of rage:

(Mind Thrust, DC16 (will?) Save)

Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 6

Will.

Will Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Looks like he shrugs off your attempt to give him a migraine headache. :(

Ducar, in the form of a regular street hoodlum, whispers to the man "psst, over here" and waves him over.
