The God's Market Gamble CORE (Inactive)

Game Master Baerlie

Kevan yells to the others, "The fire, it'll destroy everything! We have to put it out now!" He begins chanting a spell.

Cast Enlarge Person on himself. Hopefully an enlarged blanket and help snuff out the flames.

*Muffled screaming*

Realizing he cannot see, Korizon exits, and puts away his sword.

Hysterical blindness then? ;) There's daylight from outside... and all the fires of course.

Gwen yanks a scroll from its case and finishes the incantation.

perception (keep looking): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

The daylight does not fill the entire warehouse and the fires are still small. The northern part of the building is dim light only.

Korizon exits and puts away his sword while Kevan starts to grow. Gwen prepares a resistance spell to deliver it as soon as Kevan stops to grow.

Calvin drops his sword and rushes over to put out the fire dumping his water out of his waterskin onto the flames.

Survival: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Calvin rushes into the building and empties his waterskin onto the flames.

The remaining fire spreads.

in case somebody wants to ask: there's a water barrel in the yard

Move Action
Gadget pops open the barrel.

What the crap guys? There's fire now? I've got a waterskin, and also there's a tub of water outside.

Second Move Action
She hops out of the barrel and starts moving towards the fire.

in case somebody wants to ask: there's a water barrel in the yard

Is that the one Gadget is in? ;)

Gwen takes a 5-foot step nearer Kevan and when he enlarges to his full size applies resist energy (fire) to him.

"Go get 'em tiger!"

Korizon asks, "Why are we spending time on the fire? Isn't that what some one else should be doing? Are we not looking for thieves? He goes and picks up barrel again now that the Gnome is out of it.

Calvin pulls off his shirt as he rushes over to the other fire and tries to put it out.

Survival: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Kevan grows to ogre-size and rushes over towards the fire. He throws his huge cloak over the flames and tries to smother the fire. He doesn't even feel the heat thanks to Gwen's spell. Put the fire out and we can search this whole place!"

Is it a roll to try to smother the flames?

Calvin and Kevan put out the ramining fire with their shirt and cloak.

out of 'combat'

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

Golly! What happened? All of a sudden I heard people screaming about fire.

perception: 1d20 ⇒ 5

perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

Hera alights upon an out of place footlocker amid the pile of crates and hoots excitedly.

pushing a bit ;)

You collect all the evidence you find in the warehouse and depart, heading back to the Grand Lodge. On the way back you cross the God's Market. Suddenly an arrow hits Korizon in the chest.

I am assuming we see the figures on the map since we just got shot at because attacks usually would break stealth?

Is this person on top of something or on the ground? Either way, the reaction from Gadget is the same.

Move Action
Gadget moves forward, drawing her bow.

Standard Action
She fires upon the figure that figure that fired the arrow.
Longbow Attack (Point Blank Shot): 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 1 = 18
Longbow Damage (Point Blank Shot): 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Since I forgot to reroll the stealth after the attack, I think that's ok. The archer is inside the orange tent, on the ground, just sticking a nose and the bow outside. The tent is open and there are not too many people around, so no cover.

Gadget immediately releases an arrow form her longbow and hits.

Korizon

"Ow!" Korizon exclaims, still conscious, barely. free action - talk

"Coward!! Come out and fight!!! RAHHHH!!' Calvin's mind goes blank as all his focus is trained on the attacker. Drawing his large blade he charges the archer.

Rage, draw weapon with movement and attack.

Attack: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 2 = 21
Damage: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (5, 3) + 9 = 17

"Korizon!" The priest rushes to help the barbarian. He chants a prayer over the man's wound and the bleeding slows.

1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Convert Divine Favor into a CLW spell

While Korizon screams and rubs his wound Calvin charges the archer and hits, leaving a big, bleeding laceration on the archer's head. Kevan rushes over to Korizon and starts to heal him.

Parani drops her bow and gets her greataxe. She strikes at Calvin, but misses. Her bird tries to pick Calvin's eyes.
Parani vs. Calvin: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Talon vs. Calvin: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Move action
Gadget walks up to get a clear shot...

Standard action
...and attacks!
Longbow Attack (Point Blank Shot): 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 1 = 23
Longbow Damage (Point Blank Shot): 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Calvin growls as he strikes again. "GrrrrAHH!!"

Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
Damage: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (3, 6) + 9 = 18

Korizon rages - moves up next to the former archer and swings his falchion at her.

attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17 for damage: 2d4 + 10 ⇒ (1, 3) + 10 = 14

Oof, somehow I doubt she's lasting beyond those sets of rolls.

Kevan moves to cut off any escape, trying to harrow her with his longspear. "You! You're the one after the relics!"

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Yeah... pretty sure this battle is over. XD

Files nails. Looks at them. Returns to filing. ;)

Several attacks hit the archer in the tent and finally she's knocked out. The bird flies away.

combat over

Shortly after you defeat Parani Akar, a large contingent of Graycloaks arrive, including Runewulf the Unbeliever himself. "What happened here?" he asks. "Why did you attack one of my guards?"

She actually ambushed us and attacked first!

Diplomacy Aid: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (20) - 1 = 19

"Why would one of my most promising guards do that? Did she have a reason?" Runewulf asks.

"Aside from being part of a group of thieves and smugglers and trying to start a fire in warehouse to cover her tracks not at all. Say does your lot have a sketch artist? Someone should mark my appearance before my looks start to fade."

"A group of thieves and smugglers and a fire in a warehouse? Can you somehow proof that she's involved? And yes, we do have sketch artists, but they are in our offices."

Calvin step forward and hands him the documents they found in the warehouse. "Here."

Runewulf goes through the information in the documents. "That's interesting, you revealed a list of names wich are involved in the smuggling activities and possible buyers of stolen relics."

He approaches the unconscious archer. "The arrows she uses look like the arrow we found in Barleyhusk's shop. If Barleyhusk can confirm that Parani shot the arrow I think this case is solved."

"If she is who we think she is, Ms. Barleyhusk should be able to identify her as the Greycloak who she left with the victim. We believe she killed him when the arrow didn't do the job first."

Conclusion
Baerleyhusk later confirms, that the woman is the Greycloak who she left with the wounded man. The Graycloaks are skeptical at first, but the evidence is overwhelming. Parani is eventually tried and convicted for her crimes. Word of the evenhanded way the Pathfinders handled the situation spreads throughout Absalom’s guards and much of the tension between the Society and the local guard in Absalom eases for a while.

The end...

After the convincing Runewulf the Unbeliever Calvin turns to Kevan. "Let's get a drink! I'll arm wrestle you for who buys!" Calvin slaps the man on the back as he walks to the nearest tavern.

Thanks for the Game GM Baerlie. Good game everyone see you around the boards.

Thereby allowing Hera to more easily steal fish from the fishmongers....

"Who-Whooo!"

Thanks again!
