Round 3:
Thugs: *
Archer 1 (-6) regains his senses after being shot at by Sabyl, now shoots at Lyssa, but misses epicly.
Archer 2 Launches another Arrow at Lyssa, almost hitting for 3dmg.
Brigand lashes out to Lyssa, barely missing and takes a 5ft step back.

You guys are up.

Grint double fires, but they both just miss.
Btw, the cover had been included in the roll?

Elsa demoralizes the nearby brigand attacking Lysa Demoralize: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24 Do you not hear death approaching on swift wings? Surrender now or die. Your choice is simple.

The DC of this check is equal to 10 + the target's Hit Dice + the target's Wisdom modifier. If you are successful, the target is shaken for 1 round. This duration increases by 1 round for every 5 by which you beat the DC.

Which you splendidly did.
Brigand near Lyssa is now shaken for 3 rounds, not expecting such strong language from such a graceful figure.

I didn't include it in the roll, had hoped he would have less to no cover this time as I would have a clearer shot from where I am now. Not that it mattered.

I didn't take it into account either, not that it mattered for me ^^
Sabel takes another try to shoot the man.
Attack roll: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 - 4 = 3 >_>
Damage roll: 1d8 ⇒ 7

Grint double fires, but they both just miss.
Elsa's firm speech leaves the brigand near Lyssa shaken for 3 rounds.

Malena, Lyssa, Sabyl, your turns.

About earlier: whoops! <.<

Knee: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Punch: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21 Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Lyssa moves after the brigand and lifts her knee up in an attempt to hit him, but misses horribly. She quickly places her foot back on the floor, and hits with a quick punch.

Updated Map

"Och!" Maleana cries in frustration. "Sabel, I had that guy charmed! I told you NOT to shoot at him! I'd taken him out of the combat, but now we have to fight them all! What a mess this group is, constantly working at cross-purposes to each other!"

She shakes her head and takes a step back so that she won't be in harms way, allowing those better with weapons to hold their attacks. She is just going to stay out of the way, for anything she might do might undermine what somebody else is doing.

After Sabel missed again she uses a fear spell on the brigand.

Will save DC = 14
If he/she makes the DC he will become shaken for one round.

Malena suddenly practically starts yelling at Sabel and she takes a step back from her. She looks questioningly at her and asks what's wrong.
"यह क्या है? मैं तुम्हें समझ में नहीं आता!"

As for clarification I speak/understand infernal only in combat, since no one ever asked ;)

Sabel, i'm assuming you mean that particular archer, fear btw is a cone shaped spell, you'd hit Grint from where you're standing.
For now i've moved you to somewhere it will go off without friendly fire.
Will: 1d20 ⇒ 7
The archer is panicked for 2 rounds.

Map

The Jadwiga takes her chance to end this. She casts Haunted Fey Aspect to make herself look more fearsome and then she shouts.

Throw down your weapons now. You have no other choice. Surrender or death.

Grint takes a step so he could better aim at the brigand fighting Lyssa and then shoots two arrows in quick succesion aiming to bring down the man.

Elsa goes like this
Elsa, i could think of no better example
Grint shoots two arrows, the 1st one strikes him true and sends him to the ground, the 2nd flying into the wall the man would have covered.

Malena, Lyssa & Sabyl are up.

Not yet, but Galadriel is definitely one of the fictional characters I've modeled Elsa on.

Elsa speaks commanding.
Grint shoots two arrows, the 1st one strikes him true and sends him to the ground, the 2nd flying into the wall the man would have covered.
Sabel fires an arrow at the SE archer and it hits for 16, dropping him.
You only needed to check for a confirm once, then you roll for dmg.

Malena & Lyssa are up.

Punch: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 17 Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Lyssa charges off at the archer next to the chairs, and throws a punch at him. "I'm NOT part of a harem!"

Updated Map

AC -2 for charging.

Lyssa chases the panicked guy and knocks him down for 4 dmg. (-2/0)
Lyssa, Sabel took the E archer down with a critical already, but you knock down this other guy anyway.

Combat is over.

Ring from loot

Map

Assuming you search the room, there's 2 chests in the back.
Opening a chest needs either the required key or Trained Disable device 15.

Lyssa picks up the gold and gives everyone 4 gold. After some exchanging with coins in some of her pockets she gives everyone 2 silver as well.

"Unless anyone wants some of this, I'll carry it," Lyssa says as she opens her backpack, and crams everything in the backpack. It doesn't close anymore, but she doesn't seem to care as she places it on her back again.

Taking the bronze key Lyssa moves over to the chests. She tries the key on both chests. "I should mention the room i peeked inside also had some chests. And did you guys check the office for stuff while I moved out? while we're here we may as well see what we can take. I'm rather low on money, to be honest."

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

As she tries to open the chests Lyssa takes a look around. Her eyes rest on the bookcase.

"This key's sliding out of my hand," Lyssa says while pointing at the bookcase, giving the others a subtle hint, "and how are we going to cover this mess up?"

Updated Map

How exactly are you stacking that entire load of loot into a backpack? :) If you take it all and tie it to yourself you are now medium encumbered, with a total weight of 94,5 lbs.
And may i remind you you are LE, somehow your style looks more NE :P
If you are perceptive on the bookcase, your map update would put you at that bookcase.

The key doesn't seem to fit the chests. The key is too big.
New map

I thought the volume of loot wasn't an issue in this game, so that was for flavor. Does loot have an actual volume in this game?

Dead people don't own possessions so it's legal to take them ;)

A little sense of realism is appropriate if 1 single person wishes to carry it all alone ^^. Now a bag of holding on the other hand would easily put such big items away.

It depends on the GM and realism. A wizard carrying three bags full of weapons is probably carrying a heavy load, so that sense of realism should be maintained I think. However if you've got a belt and a backpack as well as pouches on your belt, you could strap most of the weapons and gear you find either to your backpack or belt or stow them inside the backpack if there's room. Usually volume isn't the problem, it's the combined weight.

Also GM are there any arrows left on the thugs?

Grint checks the bodies of the thugs together with Lyssa and keeps a clear eye on the loot division and shakes his head as she tries to cram everything into her backpack.
"You know it's better to divide those things amongst ourselves, an extra back-up weapon wouldn't hurt any of us. Also your math is wrong, we should all get 4 gp and 8 sp from that. I don't mind you taking that last gold piece if we divide the silver amongst us four. We could sell all this equipment later and divide the money we get as well."

He looks to the others with a raised eyebrow.
"You all agree on this?"

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
Grint doesn't seem to notice what Lyssa means and goes about searching the rest of the room for anything interesting.

Quick sweep across the room, taking 10 on Perception as I do so, getting an 18.

Grint, between the two archers there are 8 arrows left.

Grint stumbles upon a note that has fallen out of the bookcase to the north wall.

"No time to work and these thieves are pretty bad at their job, so yes I'm running low on money too."
Upon Grint noticing the note Sabel moves over next to him and tries to read the note with him.
"What do you have there?"

"Apparently a doctor, I'm presuming this means the alchemist, has provided a service to someone called Y. If they want to get a hold on the city, it might be best to stop him now we can."

Grint replies to Sabel.

"Perhaps the obstacles they mention are the important families that were stolen from? I'm not certain of course, it's a lot of speculation."

"Oh, I totally misses the silver coins," Lyssa replies to Grint, "I only saw the gold. You can divide those amongst the four of you, and each take 8 silver. I claimed some stuff from the dead guy earlier."

Lyssa takes some more coins from here pocket and hands the others some more silver and gold. "Here you go. That should divide things properly. And yes, we should sell some of this stuff later. I've been short on money ever since I arrived in this city."

I divided the 16 silver from earlier as well. Totally forgot about those. So instead of 4gp 2sp or 4gp 8sp everyone gets a bunch of coins with a total value of 5gp 1sp 6cp!

Lyssa moves closer to Grint, pulls him down by his arm so he's on her level, and whispers in his ear: "The bookcase can be moved."

Grint will show Sabel the note after he mentions to her his own thoughts about it.

"Ah, so you think it might be a secret room or compartment. If we can't find the alchemist in here he's probably behind that bookcase."

"Some more coins are never wrong!"
She replies to Lyssa dividing the left over coins. Next Grint gives her the note.
"Ah thank you, give me a moment."
She reads the note through carefully.
"Does sound like the alchemist. So we have to look out for these so called important obstacles then. What could a drug have anything to do with taking over a whole city? "
She stands pondering over the questions for a while, hoping someone might give her some more ideas.

Bookcase moving then

Lyssa and Grint push and pull the bookcase aside.
Sure enough, a doorway is revealed behind it.

A stairs heads down into a small corridor with a door on the right.

Map

"Taking over the... What?!"

Lyssa snatches the note out of Sabel hand and also reads it. "I knew my gut was right... This place is dangerous. We'll have to take out everyone in this building to ensure the city's safety."

It's with the help of Grint that Lyssa manages to pull the bookcase aside, and a doorway is revealed behind it. Lyssa moves down the stairs, into the corridor, and up to the door.

Lyssa opens the door a few inches, and carefully peeks inside. She tries to do this as quiet as possible.

Stealth (Quiet! Quiet!): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Updated Map

Grint replies to Sabel with a shrug.
"I don't know for sure. Could be they could make the town go apathic on them, use that drug we've seen before to get people out of high places and get their own people in. Only they know for sure."

When Lyssa sprints up the stairs he watches her go and glances back at the others and sighs.
"Anybody else feels she's too impatient for her own good?"

He takes his bow, nocks an arrow on it and follows up in a more cal manner.
When he comes close to Lyssa he whispers.

"If we want any information at all we mustn't kill the man himself. We need to take him prisoner and make him talk. Other guys are fair game, but don't get overexcited with punching him okay?"

"Whoah, you don't see that every day. And yes she is a tad impatient at times. Shall we head on?"
She grabs her bow and follows the others through the secret entrance.

Last post for now! Good luck following weeks.

"Okay," Lyssa softly replies to Grint.

He's got a point. Let's not try to kill the alchemist...

Lyssa peeks into the corridor. You find it empty, save for a small sack which, upon opening, contains the following:
-1 Brass knuckles with a strange inscription. They seem worn and brittle though. Upon attacking, roll 1d10 on hit. 1-5 it gains broken condition.
Spellcraft 15:

Down the corridor are 2 doors. One seems to have a slidable window, like with a prisondoor, the other on the right seems more solid.
"Prison door" requires a key or disable device DC20.

Malena casts detect magic;
No magical auras are within the corridor.

Lyssa: "Want to check out the cell or go through the door to the right?"

"Hmm, I wonder if we've already met this guy Fergus. Hopefully we didn't kill him already."
Grint says as he reads the note.

"Unless one of you can open this prison door, or that key fits, let's try the key on the door on the right."

Elsa nods at Grint, her hands begin to drip snowflakes.

You head up to the right door.
Malena draws her bow and loads an arrow, as does Sabel. Sabel casts Lyssa cracks her knucles in anticipation as she slides the brass knuckles onto her right hand. She takes point, sliding the key into the lock.

A soft *clink* as the key on your end is slid into the lock.
A voice can be heard at speaking volume.

"Whomever it is, you are unauthorized. Come in and face the consequences. It should be a mere matter of time before more of them arrive, without the doormen present.....hehehe."

Malena pushes her finger onto her lips and casts silent image, creating an image similar to her and sends it into the room through the barely opened door. An arrow immediately goes through, bouncing off the wall.

With Lyssa first you enter the room. There are workbenches and some "braziers" for the lighting. The man likely named Dr. Tromp stands behind his desk.
"You again! Good grief, this city doesn't live up to it's decent reputation at all. I was warned someone "might" seek me out. It matters little, i'll deal with you and test my latest research on you, like i did with mr Fergus. Now, KILL THEM!"

The large figure comes from a corner, it drops the clothes, revealing some sort of figure made from seemingly planks and hay. It raises its arms and fists.......
Kn. Arcana 20

Grint, i'm sure you've figured what the nice arrows are used for. Lighting a oiled arrow is 1 standard action and deals 1d2 extra fire dmg.
Right...

Round 1
-Construct heads for Lyssa, but his swing misses. *
-Lyssa Dodges the punch and throws 2 punches of her own.
Her first misses but the 2nd has much force and makes a cracking sound on the construct (11dmg). The bracers are damaged and would break on another hit. *
Grint
Sabel
Malena
Elsa
Tromp

Map update

Yeah I got the hint, though somebody should just throw an alchemist's fire into the thing. Lighting an oiled arrow takes me 3 rounds to fire 3 arrows, or I could fire the arrows and someone else sets them on fire. Better use my sword for this work, in this case I need to protect the other women.

Where exactly is that golem now? If I could flank with Lyssa I'll try to do that.

Grint drops his bow and draws his greatsword as he moves to attack the golem.

"Come on you pile of building materials."

Attack, greatsword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 212d6 + 3 ⇒ (1, 3) + 3 = 7

Seems the map wasn't correct, updated.
