GM Weenerton Outpost Treason's Chains - A (Inactive)

Game Master OG3

- I’m not sure that Zig did it or that he knew what was going to happen... Why him? What evidence?

_____

Berore night rest:

Small almost silent prayer in full darkness (just after some bath). Oh, and to feed her bat (maybe I didn’t mention about her familiar before).

Mathos, update your gear, please. Need to know your armor and such.

These is an issue with my alias. It is there but the spoiler wont open. I will try to fix it.

Update. I copy/pasted the GEAR section and put it below and it works. Weird. I will keep trying to troubleshoot it, but I am lost.

gotcha. wearing that breastplate to bed?

Nope. I had not got as far as going to bed yet. I did some reading and stuff. I was holding off outright saying I was going to bed until I knew what others were doing. You mentioned watches and the like so was waiting to see what others thought of that.

Shayna takes a watch....first watch. since she has light armor, she can sleep in it.

I'll take first watch, everyone. Get some rest.

"I will take second watch!"

Edwin will not sleep in armor

"I can take second watch with Edwin."

Mathos will take third watch. He is an early riser and needs to prepare his spells for the day anyway.

- I’m not sure that Zig did it or that he knew what was going to happen... Why him? What evidence?

A few respond, He had a vial on his person. It was quickly identified. It's about as open and shut as you can imagine.

---

A hushed but emphatic voice suddenly breaks the silence, as if someone is trying to be heard without being too loud. The voice speaks in broken Common and is coming from outside the window. “Wake up! Wake up! Big men with big knives come for you! Kill you! Wake up!”

You have one round to prepare for an altercation.

Low-light conditions. Please state how you handle that. Please also state the condition of your weapons and defenses as most of you would have been asleep. Go ahead and take that one round of prep and we'll get started.

Shayna was in her armor...as earlier post said. Weapon would be beside here, in sheath, but with in arm's reach

Zeta jumps out of bed in one light nightgown, pretty distracting from a possible fight.

- How curious. Let them come. A bad fate awaits them.

The bat anxiously squeaks and beats its wings sitting on her shoulder while Zeta utters a magic armor spell (on herself) and retreats to the side, giving place to the melee fighters (she will stand in some corner to not to be near the door or window).

Can we get a map. The setup is likely to determine my actions.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Mathos groggily stands. He takes up his book and rubs his eyes.

perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Edwin wakes up, takes his sword and runs out in his pants.

"Can someone mage armor me!"

Since you can sleep in light armor, I believe Jikma will be in that.

Roused from sleep, Jikma stands up and grabs one of the gadgets that she's built. She shakes open a round metal disc that attaches to her head via headband. It moves on its own.

Move action to stand up, standard action, activate shield gadget (as a Scavenger, Jikma's extracts are clockwork devices not potions. AC is now 23.

Map is up

The assassins rush the party, kicking the door in and slinging objects at them.

GM Roll: 1d5 ⇒ 1

tanglefoot bag vs Jikma: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
scatter: 1d8 ⇒ 6

The bag of goo goes wide.

Party is up.

AC in tag line adjusted to reflect no breastplate.

Mathos looks at Blue and shouts WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS Ear-piercing scream, DC 14 Fort save or take the below damage and by dazed for 1 round. Half damage and no daze on a successful save

Sonic Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 1, 2) = 12

Edwin moves closer to the doors with his sword in hands. double move

Shayna jumps up and readies her sword.

Not a smart move, morons.

move to stand, standard to ready sword. no buckler so AC ia down 1...also, preparing a parry/riposte if attacked

Vandelaria reminds everyone that she is not just a pretty face with a gun.

With an incantation she causes a layer of grease (Reflex DC 13) to fill the hall in front of the door. She then moves to block the door while drawing her pistol until Edwin can get into position.

- In vain...

She clicks her tongue and utters the words of the magic formula, directing her middle and ring fingers at one of the enemies.

move and daze (yellow) DC 14 Will

Jikma takes a second to pick her rapier off the ground. There's just no way she'd have it on her belt.

She moves behind Vandelaria, hoping to let the people in, and then surround these thugs.

fort, blue: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
will, red, Zeta?: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (18) - 1 = 17
reflex, red: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
reflex, blue: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

The lead rogue has his confidence shaken when his companion gushes blood from his ears and falls into the grease. He himself loses his footing and falls prone. He tries to stand immediately and escape.

Vandelaria, do you threaten with a pistol?

He darts down the hallway.

Party is up.

Mathos moves up, ready to rush through as soon as the door is clear.

Vandelaria dismisses the grease and then moves into the hall.

Jikma scurries (like a mouse) after the retreating fella. "Stop, you won't get away!"

Double move

Edwin moves out of the room. double move

Zeta comes out and just looks at the fleeing bandit hard.

Misfortune DC14 W

Cruel Hex: 1d4 ⇒ 4 nonlethal

shayna rushes out the door.

The remaining Pike punk bolts down the hall and down the stairs afraid for his life.

You can give chase but he's not likely to bother you or have any further impact.

In the room, the goblins climb in through the window and wait for you to come back.

You, Pathfinders! Our father wishes to speak to you. It regards our brother, Zig. He has been wrongly accused and we need your help.

Edwin returns into the room and starts putting his armor on.

"Guys, shall we go to his father?"

- Absolutely. I felt from the beginning that there was something wrong with this Zig story. By the way, is this one dead or should we tie up and question him?

A cursory check suggests he is just unconscious. Perhaps the goblins can be helpful here?

Might as well....can't go back to sleep now. And just as I was dreaming of a beach and a jug of wine....oh well... Shayna laments as she grabs her gear quickly.

Assume the body is taken care of. 3 votes to go to "Father" so I'll move you along so you have time to post tomorrow.

The room is filled with goblins, each dressed in a different outfit: a goblin lamplighter, a goblin cobbler, a goblin barmaid, and more all stand around in a semicircle. At the front of the room stands an older goblin, taller than the rest and wearing a silk suit stretched over a protruding waistline. While the other goblins might fidget and chatter quietly among themselves, this older goblin stands perfectly still with the air of easy command one might expect from a nobleman, and when he speaks, it is with an easy, husky voice.

“Welcome, my friends, to my humble home. My name is Moneymaker. Yigrig Moneymaker, at your service, and this is my family."

“Let us cut to the chase. I am led to believe you have been looking into Phlegos Dulm. He was your friend, but he betrayed you. He was my friend too, but he has betrayed me, sacrificing my very own son to do it. It is in the best interests of both of our organizations to see him pay for his crimes, wouldn’t you say?”

Mathos does not want to tip his hand too early. [b] Perhaps. What are you suggesting? [/ooc]

I assume you have proof of some kind? We have to have some sort of evidence to take back to our superiors...or enough to pressure the rat into confessing....either way, I am comfortable. I can make him talk, I think... Shayna says with a wicked glint in her eye. My cousin Doran taught me a few tricks to..persuade someone to talk...

- Do you have any specific suggestions? I'm on your side and I want to help.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

"Yes we all will help!"

diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

If you do not have proof this could go very badly for you. Mathos flashes the 7 pointed star on the cover of his book.

Intimidate: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23

Yigrig raises a hand patiently, calming the Pathfinders, Guests, do you not see the reach I have into this locale? I believe you came to know one of my daughters, Lobda. I have eyes everywhere and know very well of Plegos's dealings. I now have a path for you to bring him to justice, if you please. Yigrig waits for that realization to dawn on the Pathfinders. Well then, we don't have much time. Phlegos knows you are onto him and you must extract the remaining evidence. His hideout is at a pub he had converted from an abandoned market building by the docks. The poisoned bards were searching for another trio that are enslaved at that location. Free them and bring evidence to release Zig. Can you do that?

"Yes we can! Let's go people, we have work to do!"

Sounds fair. Let's go...I want this mutt exposed and brought to justice. Shayna says, clearly spoiling for a fight.

Vandelaria checks that her pistol is loaded and gives a nod.

"Ready to roll."

"What kind of evidence are we talking about?" Jikma speaks up, "You say the evidence, not some evidence, or any evidence we may find. Is there something in particular that you know will exonerate your Zig?"

You must recover the slaves captured there and any other documentation for Phlegos's operation. Hurry. Yigrig bids you adieu and hands you a crude map of the town with the headquarters pointed out.

--

The pub that serves as the base of Phlegos’s operations is a mostly abandoned business that Phlegos has taken over as a temporary headquarters for his operations. The pub consists of three different buildings: one on the north, one on the west, and one on the south, all of them run-down and in need of repair.

I've placed your tokens on the side of the map. Please describe your approach and any preparation you've made.

Mathos, in true pragmatic fashion, hangs back and waits for someone else to go first.

Edwin opens the door on the closest building.

perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

- Come on in, Edwin! I'll cover.
