If the loot spreadsheet is up to date than Marcus has just a little over 1k, so he's going to start putting that towards forging his own full plate.


Male Human Fighter 9 | AC 27 (25 w/o shield), Touch 13, FF 25 (23 w/o shield)| HP 86/91 (Temp 0), DR 3/- | F +10, R +7, W +6 (+1 vs continuous, +4 vs mind-affecting) | Init +3 | Perc +19 | AV 4/5, BB 3/3 | Bull Rush | Overrun

Correct: Starting to put money towards a masterwork weapon, and otherwise saving my money to purchase full plate.


Female Human (Varisian) Arcanist (Harrowed Society Student) 9 | HP 70/70 | AC:13 T:12 FF:11 CMD:15 | F+7 (roll twice vs disease), R+7, W+9 (greater aegis of recovery) | Init +6 | Perc +7 |

Vera purchases a Wand of Mage Armor. She uses a charge on herself. If Kaliyah wants, Falcor gets a charge too.

"It's magical armor. Kind of like the real thing, except it doesn't weigh anything and disappears after an hour."


Don't Forget to Gather Info! Combat Map - Korvosa | Corruption +2; Crime +0; Economy +4; Law +5; Lore +4; Society +0; Danger +10

For reference, Falcor is wearing leather barding, so if you use it, he’ll get +2 AC more.

Kali nods to Vera, a small smile forming on her lips. "You are so Kind Vera, how did you ever fall in with the lot of the rest of us? If you don't mind using it on him, that would be fantastic. Do you want me to give you some coin for this? I know that this want wasn't free!"


Female Human (Varisian) Arcanist (Harrowed Society Student) 9 | HP 70/70 | AC:13 T:12 FF:11 CMD:15 | F+7 (roll twice vs disease), R+7, W+9 (greater aegis of recovery) | Init +6 | Perc +7 |

Vera adds the magical protection to Falcor, and gives him a friendly rub on the head. "I protect Falcor, and Falcor protects me. Seems like a square deal. When you're a girl who can't really fight, you usually need to find someone to do it for you."

Magda has nothing to buy

As Vera and Kali talk, Magda moves up to Shi, "I guess me and you could scout the place some, so we know what we might be dealing with?" suggesting stealth over door kicking.


AC 20 (22) FF 19 T 11| HP 30| F +6 To R +2 W +6| Init +2| Percep +6

Krovax also has nothing to buy. He will simply provide silent escort to the others as they attempt to make any acquisitions they desire.


Female Kitsune | Vigilante (teisatsu)3 | HP 21/21| AC 19 | T 13 | FF 16| CMD 15| Fort +2| Ref +6| Will +3 | Init +9 | Perc +6

Shi nods to Magda's suggestion but then shifts under the weight of her newly purchased armor and shakes her head "You go, this armor, I'm still getting used to it, makes it harder to be quiet."

Updated the loot sheet to account for the reward we got. Since we are essentially *selling and buying now* I will move the total to people's individual sheets (where you can subtract any purchases from your gold total if you want) and clear out the sheet for us to move forward. Shi won't be buying anything right now. As a side note, if you want an accurate WBL go ahead and add all your stuff to your individual sheet, you can look at Shi's as an example.

stealth: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19
perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30 +2 for spotting hidden

Magda nods, then moves forward slowly and quietly, well mostly quietly. She'll listen to the windows, at the door, check for locks, so on.


Male Human Fighter 9 | AC 27 (25 w/o shield), Touch 13, FF 25 (23 w/o shield)| HP 86/91 (Temp 0), DR 3/- | F +10, R +7, W +6 (+1 vs continuous, +4 vs mind-affecting) | Init +3 | Perc +19 | AV 4/5, BB 3/3 | Bull Rush | Overrun

It appears that after Shi has the loot sheet updated Marcus is at 1300 gold (roughly). Would anybody be willing to loan Marcus 200 gold so that he can buy his full plate and be far tankier?


Female Human (Varisian) Arcanist (Harrowed Society Student) 9 | HP 70/70 | AC:13 T:12 FF:11 CMD:15 | F+7 (roll twice vs disease), R+7, W+9 (greater aegis of recovery) | Init +6 | Perc +7 |
Majenko:
HP 35/35 | AC:20 T:14 FF:18 CMD:13 | F+7, R+6, W+14 (Ferocious Will) | Perc +7

Vera will gladly lend that gold.


Male Human Fighter 9 | AC 27 (25 w/o shield), Touch 13, FF 25 (23 w/o shield)| HP 86/91 (Temp 0), DR 3/- | F +10, R +7, W +6 (+1 vs continuous, +4 vs mind-affecting) | Init +3 | Perc +19 | AV 4/5, BB 3/3 | Bull Rush | Overrun

Awesome, appreciate it. GM would I have the time to be able to purchase a set of full plate? I know that can be tricky because it's an expensive specialty item and they have to be custom fit.


Male Human Fighter 9 | AC 27 (25 w/o shield), Touch 13, FF 25 (23 w/o shield)| HP 86/91 (Temp 0), DR 3/- | F +10, R +7, W +6 (+1 vs continuous, +4 vs mind-affecting) | Init +3 | Perc +19 | AV 4/5, BB 3/3 | Bull Rush | Overrun

Previously, at some point while dividing loot and before shopping:

Marcus takes his share of the loot, counting it out twice then resting his chin in the crook of his chin. Damn, just a bit short. If I'm going to keep getting into big scraps with this group I'm going to need full plate again. He didn't mind the armor he was wearing, and the flexibility and weight were nice, but there was nothing like a solid slab of steel between you and your enemy to keep the blades turning away. He grunts, stepping forward and addressing the group at large. "I'd like a loan, get enough out of my share to buy some real armor. I'd pay it back immediately next time we divide up loot. It's in your best interests as well, longer I'm alive the longer I can keep shit from reaching you."

Need about 325 in total, after I sell my current armor.


AC 20 (22) FF 19 T 11| HP 30| F +6 To R +2 W +6| Init +2| Percep +6

Hearing Marcus’ request, Krovax grunts and rummages through his own pack. A few moments later, he lays the two gold ingots down as well as some coin of his own.

”Get your armor. Make sure it’s a quality set. Pay me back when we are compensated by the guard. Just remember to show the Guard a bit more respect when we report to them, is all I ask.”

475 loaned.


Male Human Fighter 9 | AC 27 (25 w/o shield), Touch 13, FF 25 (23 w/o shield)| HP 86/91 (Temp 0), DR 3/- | F +10, R +7, W +6 (+1 vs continuous, +4 vs mind-affecting) | Init +3 | Perc +19 | AV 4/5, BB 3/3 | Bull Rush | Overrun

Marcus nods in appreciation. "Agreed." He says, inflection implying that he is agreed on all counts. "Probably get you a set after the next payment?" He asks, stowing the gold.

Marcus's stats and gear updated. Woot!

S8 (22 Stirge Street), All The World's Meat, about 1:00 pm - it took about 1.5 hours to walk here from the Citadel. I will assume that the mage armor was used when on Stirge St, so only about 5 minutes from the shop.

You can see this from outside the display window.

There are people on the street, some of whom enter the butcher shop and leave after a moment with paper-wrapped packages tied with twine. The store is open.

A sign bearing the image of a fat, smiling cow hangs above the entrance to this shop. Inside, a long counter runs over half the room’s width, beyond which a door stands ajar. A low bench sits against the east wall, while to the north a marble-topped table displays cuts of meat before a wide, grimy window. A few flies circle in the air above the meat.

Two men stand behind the counter, distributing the meat to any who request it, though they have a sour look about them. One is a tall
man with bushy eyebrows that merge into one just above his large, flat nose. The other is a wheezy man whose chainmail doesn’t quite fit his ample frame. The meat appears mostly gone, with only a few cuts remaining.


Male Human Fighter 9 | AC 27 (25 w/o shield), Touch 13, FF 25 (23 w/o shield)| HP 86/91 (Temp 0), DR 3/- | F +10, R +7, W +6 (+1 vs continuous, +4 vs mind-affecting) | Init +3 | Perc +19 | AV 4/5, BB 3/3 | Bull Rush | Overrun

Marcus leads, the new set of armor loudly clanking in beat with his steps. It is bulky armor, even by full plate standards, and the chest plate comes out slightly like the wedge of a ship to cut through waves, albeit much less pronounced. Despite the new bulky weight, he does not appear to be slowed down, only fidgeting with some of the armor straps on occasion and otherwise seeming already comfortable in the cumbersome protection.

Marcus ducks the frame to enter the butcher shop, frowning at the establishment. The disorder and lack of cleanliness disgusted him, but he says nothing as he steps to the side so the others can enter and move ahead of him.


AC 20 (22) FF 19 T 11| HP 30| F +6 To R +2 W +6| Init +2| Percep +6

Krovax follows in step with Marcus, his own armor fitting him comfortably and his shield already resting on his off hand’s forearm, his helm cradled comfortably in his right. He steps into the meat shop just behind the fighter, looking over the armored worker s and the patrons. He looks to the guests inside and gives a motion with his head that clearly means for them to leave.

He then turns to the men and says ”We would like a word with your boss.”

"Oh! It's open..." Magda sniffs the air, but holds back as well. "It is not supposed to be open..." but she enters, eyeing the two men more than the meat.

One of the commoners takes their meat and scurries out at the sight of Krovax, the other rolls her eyes at Krovax, and does the same. ”No need to be rude, lad, there’s more for you too,” she says, gesturing at more of the meat remaining on the counter before leaving.

Knowledge (local): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

The wheezy one squints at Krovax, but the tall one says, ”you dunna need to talk to anyone but me. Kick off, squire. meat’s for townsfolk, not the likes of you.”

Magda:

They seem to be acting as normally as you’d expect former guards who have gotten into the ‘business’ of distributing free meat to everyone should expect. They’re nervous when two heavily armed people walk in, as most people would be. You can occasionally hear thunks coming from the slightly open door further in the building, like a cleaver chopping meat.


AC 20 (22) FF 19 T 11| HP 30| F +6 To R +2 W +6| Init +2| Percep +6

Krovax snaps his head towards the one who called him a squire. His eyes flare red and his voice deepens to an ominous, unearthly tone. ”Call me a squire again, and there will be a different kind of meat on the menu tonight. Do not make me ask again. Go and fetch Vancaserkin. We need to discuss private business with him. Do it. Now.”

He puts his hand on his bow, and his companion does the same. They look frightened, but seem to have greater resolve than you expect, ”respectfully, it ain’t happenin’ but you can have some meat if you want.” He gestures towards one of the packages on the table with his free hand.

The other glances at the door, and at Krovax as if trying to decide on what to do.


AC 20 (22) FF 19 T 11| HP 30| F +6 To R +2 W +6| Init +2| Percep +6

”Do we look like customers to you!?!?” he snarls as he steps towards the man whose hand was dropping to his weapon.

Intimidate, Blessing: 1d20 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 4 = 20

The one standing closer to the edge of the counter responds nervously, ”look, we don’t have any quarrel with you. We’re just giving out food to poor folks, why’d ya wanna stop that? We can’t get Vancaskerkin, no matter how much you threaten us, but I’ll pass along any messages you want us to pass along, alright?”

The one closer to the door pushes it open more and shouts into the back area, ”boys, we got someone who won’t leave, back us up.” Footfalls can be heard from the door, almost immediately. He turns to Krovax, ”we don’t want any trouble, but please leave, other folks need the meat. We ain’t doing nothing wrong.”

"Hey! Wait!" Magda rushes up, speaking more to Krovax than the meat people. She was delighted with the smells and had gotten a little lost. "We don't want to hurt anyone. Right?" she looks to the wall of steel, then back to the other two "What you are doing is good. Really. Starving... breaks you, really does. We're... just... well you know how its been since yesterday. Worn a bit, like an old shirt." she'll smile her toothy smile.

"Please, we need to talk to this Vancas guy. It can be here, can be somewhere else, he can choose. Can you let him know? We can come back later tonight. Um... how long? A couple of hours maybe?"

Don't Forget to Gather Info! Combat Map - Korvosa | Corruption +2; Crime +0; Economy +4; Law +5; Lore +4; Society +0; Danger +10

They seem to relax slightly when Magda speaks up, one responds, ”fine, if you folks will leave I’ll pass on the message that you want to meet, deal? He hasn’t left his room in days, dunno what good it’ll do though.” The other one speaks up, not meeting the gaze of Krovax, and mutters, ”we don’t want no trouble, .”


Male Human Fighter 9 | AC 27 (25 w/o shield), Touch 13, FF 25 (23 w/o shield)| HP 86/91 (Temp 0), DR 3/- | F +10, R +7, W +6 (+1 vs continuous, +4 vs mind-affecting) | Init +3 | Perc +19 | AV 4/5, BB 3/3 | Bull Rush | Overrun

Marcus had shifted his weight forward; a small motion, but one that any seasoned warrior would see is the first step in getting prepared for imminent violence. But when Magda defuses the situation he shifts it back. Foolish. Knowing they had backup and openly threatening. Either put on a nice face or go immediately to violence, threats only give them an opportunity to gather their forces. He grunts unhappily. Stakeout. Shit. "So, he's here than?" Marcus says quietly.


Female Half Orc | Slum Shaman 9 | HP 57/57(66/66)| AC 21 | T 11 | FF 21 | CMD 19| Fort +7(+6)| Ref +6 | Will +13 | Init +1 | Perc +25(+27)/+32(+34 hidden doors/traps), scent SM +16 | harrow points: 2 | battle spirit: 4/4 | conditions: heightened awareness(90 minutes), teas to wine, pass without a trace(9 hours), -2 con

"Thank you." she says and means it. Then approaches the current wall, giving him a glare "They are feeding the POOR! We can't..." she shakes her head and then adds "Can we just GO outside?"

If they follow and are far enough away, "I KNOW we have to find HIM! But we can keep a lookout, try and follow the messenger, ask around about his rooms, come back for a message if we miss the others. THEN if it don't work, being an ASS is probably a great plan! The queen didn't say she wanted a bunch of her guards dead over this. She said to find out WHY, and try and gettem back."

Vera is very interested in knowing what kind of meat is being distributed. It just seems extremely odd that a bunch of deserters decided to pass out meat. The girl heads over to one of the packages on the table and, looking as innocent as possible, takes one of them.

Assuming she gets it in hand, she starts to focus on the residual energies of the cut of meat to see what its history might be.

Take 10 Appraise = 18 for psychometry.

Shi waits in the back while the others talk to the men when Magda makes to leave she is the first one out, hoping to not have stood out to much to the men inside, covered in her cloak.

When they are outside Shi nods "I agree as of yet there is no reason to start a fight. Maybe there is another approach? Let's split up and cover the entrances and wait to see if any of them leave. If not, we check back and see if the guy will meet us. If that doesn't work, we can see about finding an alternate means of getting to him rather than an all out brawl."

Marcus stares at the armored butchers, waiting for an answer before following Magda out.

Vera:

Most recently you see a broad-shouldered man with long sideburns slitting the throat of a terrified-looking young steer in what must only be the back room of the current building. The man watches the life drain from the cow’s eyes as the blood spills down into a sluice, a satisfied look on his face. You see a flash of the steer being flayed expertly, its hide moving to a small tanning vat. You see the remainder of the body being disassembled using a cleaver, and some the internal organs being disposed of in the same sluice, while others are wrapped in paper and marked with what they are. The piece you are holding appears to be a chuck cut, and on the small end, most of the better cuts having been given away earlier in the day.

The process makes being a vegetarian appealing.

The portly guard at the front says to Marcus, ”right, he’s here. He’s the boss. He don’t wanna be disturbed, y’undersand sirrah? I’d catch the switch from him if I disobeyed without a good reason.” He looks nervously at Krovax, ”beggin’ yer pardon, of course. He’s mean when he gets upset.”

Earlier

Kaliyah enters wit as well, puts her hands on the counter, and looks intimidating, which is reasonable considering her build and dress. Few in Korvosa disrespect a marine. The guards also seem wary at her presence. She aids Krovax’s attempt to be intimidating.

Aid intimidate: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

A switch. You'll catch worse from us. Marcus nods, content to follow the others out now.

Outside:

Marcus checks to make sure they weren't followed and aren't being eavesdropped on.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

"Alright, we have to stake out the building now. If they're going to fight or run we just gave them notice and time to do it, since apparently we aren't going to just roll their heads."

Vera is grossed out by her vision of where the meat came from, but it wasn't anything as bad as she had feared. She gives the meat back. "Aren't you worried that Mr. Vancaskerkin hasn't left his room? Doesn't sound like a smart thing for a boss to do. Please tell him that he can't hide from his problems."

As you all depart you see two more guards coming from the back area. Both wearing bloody aprons, they have bows drawn and look confused. When the party leaves, they turn to the guards at the front, and Marcus overhears one saying loudly, ”what the hells did they want?”

The portly guard responds, ”they wanted Verik, dunno why, say he has some ‘problems’ but didn’t say what. I offered meat but they didn’t want it. Thought it might be a fight, one of them looked like he was gonna rip my head off.” A fourth voice says, ”I’ll tell Verik, but I doubt loverboy will come out since he had his heart broken.” They then start speaking in quieter voices, as if listening though a room and a door.

There appears to be one guard left visible through the window, watching the door. He approaches the door and glances at the party, not too far from the entrance still, then frowns and closes the door. He moves behind the counter, and you can see him through the grimy window. After a moment, the back door opens and the portly man returns, shrugging.

Based on your description, y’all didn’t try to hide yourselves or make yourselves inconspicuous, but if you’d like to do so now you can.

"Do we just stand here in a clump staring at the front door?" Magda wonders aloud. "Seems like hiding and all would be better... I'll keep an eye out for the back" the screeching of her cat makes her add "of course you're coming with me, why would I leave you with the giants, no that would be a bad idea..." her words trail off as the half orc teenager heads out away from the building and then doubles back around it until she can see the back of the meat building.

Kali dismounts Falcor and pats his head and says "Stay. I'll be back shortly."

She steps in behind Mags and whispers "I'm behind you."

As she follows the half-orc, she looks back to make sure Falcor stayed and runs into a crate that topples over loudly, spilling its contents all over the floor. She cringes and mouths Sorry to Mags.

Shi watches as Magda and Kali slink off to go hide she ponders their situation for a moment, especially after what they had over heard as they were leaving. She thinks to herself, Maybe we need to try another approach.

She moves over to Victor and notes, ”Hey, I might have someone that can talk to them instead of us waiting out here for who knows how long. Mind coming with me part of the way so I can get her and then you can escort her back here? She is a mutual friend, the one who told me about what your group was up to for me to come help take care of Lamm.”

Thinking I can go get Asoka and have her come and talk to them with a bit of Diplomacy instead of the intimidate. Figure we have time to try if we are just staking the place out anyway.

Fortunately for Kali, the crate happens to fall at the same time as someone nearby on the street shouts, and it's drowned out a bit in the din of the city. Kali and Magda make their way through the western alley towards the southern side of the butcher's shop.

The wall of the western side of the shop appears to be a pen of some sort, though the inside is not easily visible. Traveling further south, Kali and Magda find a pair of double doors in the pen wall, and then another alley that extends left and right behind the buildings on this row. This back alley has garbage piled here and there, and a handful of rats and stray cats, but no other people. It smells worse than the front street, and some fluid runs down the center of the alley which appears to be water and a bit of refuse and sewage to open catch-basins set periodically in the ground.

The pen wall ends after about 35 feet, and the building begins again, before turning a corner to the north again, into another alley leading back to the street.

Kali and Magda note that the only windows on the property, other than front display window are on the small second floor, a 35' by 25' extension of the shop that's set above part of the front of the shop.

The only other doors to the property are the double doors in the rear near what appeared to be the pen.

As the crate crashes, the city compensates, which makes the toothy teenager grin at Kali and shrug. It protects as always, well how it can at the moment, not at others, which makes her frown at the memories.

In the back, she eyes the window and considers, but decides just hanging out and watching is what they were planning so finds a good nook, one that will hold the two of them and settles in for a bit.

staking out is the plan, right?

Krovax agrees to accompany Shi to go get her friend. He dons his helmet and follows along dutifully.

That's what I understand it to be.

Kali breathes a sigh of relief when the noisy crate is not so noisy after all.

When they reach the doors and windows, Kali silently motions for Magda to take the lead. She holds her bow in her hand, loading just in case things go to shit and they need to make a quick retreat.

Taking 20+7=27 for perception!

"Okay, I'll follow you, Shi. Seems like the others are busy scouting anyway. Though I'm not sure we have any mutual friends.". At least, Vera couldn't come up with anyone as she thought about it. Nevertheless, she agrees to follow the kitsune.

With Krovax and Vera accompanying her she heads back to Old Korvosa. The trip doesn't take long now that the city has returned to some state of normalcy. She takes them through alleys and backstreets until eventually they get close to a place Krovax had been before an old hideout.

Shi asks them both to wait so she can retrieve her friend and heads off alone.

After about 30 minutes from when Shi left, Asoka comes walking back from the same direction. She is dressed in a jade colored dress with her hair pinned back neatly. She carries a pack and a bow with her. She waves as she sees Krovax and Vera "Good day friends. Shi told me you could use some help talking to some folks? She is going to try and work on gathering some intel while I come to help you out. She briefly explained things, some guard deserting and taking other with him. Hold up in some butcher shop or something. I'll try and gather any useful information as you take me back."

Asoka speaks to a few people who live near the butcher, and finds out that the five former guards have taken to calling themselves the “Cow Hammer Boys,” and that their program of free meat during the time of unrest is keeping many families from going hungry. Asoka also learns that the Cow Hammer Boys hire out as mercenaries—if one wishes to hire them in this manner, one must simply ask about “the night’s special cuts.”

Vera and Magda wait a little while, and occasionally see movement in the grimy window upstairs.

"does it look like him... wait we don't know what he looks like do we?" Magda whispers to Kali, looking at her "Do you?" incorrectly assuming all guard like people know each other.

Marcus folds his arms and rests his back against the cold stone of a building, completely blocking his view and making it so he can't be seen. He's seen the others in action, especially their scouts, and knows they have sharp eyes. No sense in giving them away by trying to hide his massive frame. If something happens they'll notify him.

Before they get too close to the shop Asoka stops Krovax and Vera to note "Let me go in alone. Shi mentioned you all went in together, don't want them to associate me with you and mess up any potential approach."

She splits ways with the two but before heading inside tries to ask a few more questions of the locals, specifically what, if any, jobs has the gang already been hired to do.
