[Outpost III] GM Ladile & the Pathfinder Society Present: Treason's Chains (Inactive)

Game Master Lady Ladile

"...said no, you can't have my yellow thoughts..." Joe mumbles in his sleep, sending wafts of morning breath across the room. "...for my dog, see- OH NO THAT'S NOT A DOG IT'S A WOLF EVERYONE RUN FROM SPOT BEFORE HE-" The philosopher's words are cut off as he thrashes in his half-awake state, tangling himself in his blankets before falling off the bed into an ungraceful heap on the floor - along with several cloves of garlic.

No hablo Goblin...

Wymarc sounds the alarm. ”Wake up, Joe, something’s afoot!”

He bangs loudly on the inner walls to warn the others...he’ll put his back to the SW corner of the room, draw his bow, and keep an eye on both the window and the door...

Still in her Roderus cosplay outfit, Lauranna bangs back irritably.

Depending upon how late it is she may have fallen asleep on her very tall bed.

Perception to hear sound of loud knocking through a wall while asleep, DC15-ish?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

At the sound of someone banging on the other side of the wall, not too far from his head, Santiago rolls over in bed, sitting up.

(Anticpating a possible threat, he was sleeping in his mithral chain shirt (light armor).

About the same time that Wymarc starts banging the pots and pans (or on the wall or whatever), anyone that's awake in any of the three rooms observes a solitary figure drop down from the building's roof to hang in front of your window. The one in front of Wymarc and Joe's window shrieks as an arrow from the elf's bow shatters the glass, making a LOT of noise. If anyone was still asleep before, they sure aren't now!

Taking an educated guess that Wymarc would probably fire on someone/something suddenly appearing in front of the window but if not, I'll guess that he'll at least pointedly point the thing their way, so the overall result is still the same!

"Aiieee! Don't shoot! We here to help!" the figure yelps, holding up one hand, the other gripping what must be the rope they used to rappel down from the rooftop. "Big men with big knives come for you! Kill you!"

Over at Lauranna's window and at Santiago/Lucky/Silver/Roderus' window, the figures hanging outside the windows frantically tap on the glass.

"He right! Wake up! They coming for you!"

It's hard for most of you to tell, what with the dim light and all, but they sound like goblins...

"Huh? Hey, wake up!"

Lucky jumps up with a start. "As expected - trouble is here." He pulls a wand and activates it, creating a translucent shield of force in front of him. Taking a step towards the door, he looks back at the windows.

"Goblins! Wait, they're not attacking. Is he - is he waving at us?" Friendly goblins is still weird.

Like Santiago, Lucky sleeps in a mithril shirt.

Santiago gets out of bed and moves to the window, reaching for the latch. "Friend of Zig?" he asks. [b]"Let's get you inside, before you wake the dead.

Lauranna mutters something unintelligible. She reaches out with one hand to spacer where ordinarily one might find a lamp and prays for light to shine from her fingertips.

She gets up with the remnants of her costume still on, aiming herself toward the door.

Silver bullet pulls out his gun while moving and does a sense motive to see if these goblins are telling the truth sense motive: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Wymarc nods and, thinking the the goblins are friends of Zig and the clerk, readies to fire if big men come through the door...

At the declaration that big guys with big knives are coming the group begins to spring into action - some more quickly than others. Lucky and Santiago, who always sleep armored, pop up more or less ready to rumble; Lucky draws a shielding wand and activates it on himself and heads for the door while Santiago moves towards the window to let the friendly(?) goblin inside.

But said goblin quickly shakes his head. "No no, we not fighters! But we still help," he hisses as he raises a light crossbow - loaded and ready to fire.

Silver is also quick to get moving, readying their gun...but also giving the goblin some side-eye. It all seems a little too convenient, after all. Noticing the gunslinger's stare, the goblin offers a nervous smile full of pointy teeth in return.

"We explain soon, you see!"

Meanwhile, Lauranna hauls herself out of bed with an unintelligible mutter and sheds some light on the subject before heading towards the door. Wymarc positions himself to where he has a clear view of the door to his and Joe's room. His bow is at the ready, just itching to teach a lesson to the first fool to try kicking it down...

Joe scrambles hastily to his feet, accidentally stepping on one of the fallen cloves and releasing more garlic fragrance into the room. "Wait, who's that? What's there? Are you here to put plants by our beds to whisper to us in our sleep and you don't want the assassins from Thuvia's shadow government to get to us first!?" Eyes wide, the philosopher hastily crams his glasses onto his face and tries to look at both the door and window at the same time.

Move action to stand, 5 ft step to the wall, and standard to ready to cast daze (Will 14) if a hostile creature approaches the room through either the door or the window (he's got the range to tag someone outside either entrance).

"What? No, we not florists!" the goblin hanging outside Joe and Wymarc's window responds, looking rather confused. "We friends! Here to help!"

The trio of dangling dingle-goblins continue to cling to their ropes, crossbows in their free hands as they intently watch the doors to your rooms. So far though, nothing has happened...yet.

"What time is it anyway? I think we need a little more light, mates."

Lucky pulls a sunrod from his pack and cracks it, stuffing the lit rod in his belt.

"Please, aim carefully," Santiago asks the goblin. Then he heads to the door of the room, drawing his mithral scimitar as he moves, listens at the door, then cracks it open and peers out into the hall.
Darkvision, Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Lauranna take the long walk to her door. She opens it about to complain about the big nosed goblin outside her window but being half asleep says "Hey, does anyone else have a nose goblin hanging out their window? Is this how they do wake up calls in Katapesh?" Blearily she looks around the hall. "Hello!?"

Silver bullet moves up and readies a shot if any enemy is seen.

Joe continues to do his best to imitate a chameleon and keep one eye on both entrances at the same time.

Continue to Ready to cast daze (DC 14).

"Hello-ooh." ♪♫

Wymrac keeps his focus on the door and keeps his bow ready to fire should hostiles enter...

Though the lot of you are still somewhat uncertain as to what's happening, it certainly can't be good. Lucky is quick to light up his shared room with a sunrod while Joe, Wymarc, and Silver ready their weapons and wait.

Santiago and Lauranna each head to their respective doors and peer out into the hallway. Both of them can see the light spilling out from each other's doors but the hallway itself is largely dark and seems to be empty.

But then the two of them hear the sound of footsteps, multiple pairs, rapidly approaching! Three individuals come spilling into the hallway from the western door, daggers and shortswords in their hands. They seem quite surprised to see two of three doors cracked open and at least one person - Lauranna - standing there and looking around blearily.

"What the-I thought the boss said they'd be asleep!" Red grouses aloud.

"So did I but it don't matter - we still got a job to do," Green is quick to reply. "Get 'em!"

He then pulls a vial out of his pack and chugs it down, vanishing from sight!

Meanwhile, the three goblins continue to aim their crossbows towards their respective doors...though the one hanging outside of Lauranna's room finds himself consumed by a giggling fit.

"Heeheheheeee....nosegoblins...*snerk*...it's funny 'cause it's a booger joke! Hahaha...boogers..."

From his position at the door, Santiago's eyes narrow and he tightens his grip on his sword as he waits for these fools to come to him...

"Dulm's boys, eh? Come and have go then! Anyone paid to murder people in their sleep has gotta be tough enough for a real fight, eh? "

The angry halfling calls a challenge through the doorway.

two move actions

Joe continues to ready.

Doublemove towards red, melee weapon in hand.

With the jig definitely up most of the group decides to try and force the assailants to come to them, readying weapons or continuing to ready them as before.

Wymarc, I'm going to guess that you'll also maintain your readied action but please let me know if that isn't the case!

Silver, loaded for bear, decides to take the fight to the bad guys and dashes out into the hallway, pulling out a longsword as she goes!

"Hah! This makes things that much easier," Red chortles as Silver gets up into his grill. He grips his shortsword tightly and takes a swing at the gunslinger...

Concealment - 20% Miss (Low is Bad for Me): 1d100 ⇒ 44
Red vs. Silver (Shortsword): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

...and misses by a country mile! His buddy Orange, on the other hand, tries a different approach. He reaches into his pocket and pulls something out before taking a step to the side and flinging it at Silver...

Concealment - 20% Miss (Low is Bad for Me): 1d100 ⇒ 34
Orange vs. Silver (????; Ranged Touch, Into Melee): 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 3 - 4 = 10

...and also misses! The item flies down the hall and splats on the ground, leaving a gooey, sticky spot on the floor.

Sorry, GM, thought I had posted...but yes, maintaining a Readied Action last turn would've been my choice...

Lauranna says a quick prayer to Chaldira to protect her from the hanging nose goblin and the thugs in the corridor and jumps into the corridor brandishing her heavy maul over her head in her nightshirt and retired Venture-Captain disguise.

"Hey, you guys! Now I don't wanna kill you and you don't wanna be dead, so git!"

Casts sanctuary(Will DC 15) on herself.

Lauranna Roderus quickly casts a protective spell over herhimself and leaps out into the hallway, huge maul at the ready, and hollers at the interlopers to go on an' GIT. The two thugs tangling with Silver gawp; they clearly weren't expecting this.

"Hey whoa, what the heck!? No one said anything 'bout the head honchos being up here too!" Orange yells.

Though neither Silver nor LaurannaRoderus can quite pinpoint where they are, the sound of footsteps can be heard and then....

*tink*

...Green suddenly appears in front of the cleric, shortsword in hand, as he runs afoul of the Sanctuary spell that's in effect!

"Still standing? That's not how it works!" Green exclaims, flummoxed. Meanwhile, outside the windows, the trio of nose goblins continue to wait expectantly, clearly ready to fire upon any unfriendlies but also clearly having no desire to move into the building to help in a more meaningful way.

Lucky steps outside, sling whirling, and fires.

"Better up close."

Hoping to try and lure the thugs into some of the rooms, Lucky pops out into the hallway and fires off a sling bullet at Orange! It flies a bit too low and *thunks* off the wall, but it does seem to get his attention!

"Hey! Who's throwing rocks!?"

Inn (Second Floor)

Joe continues cowering wisely waiting for the fight to come to him, knowing full well just how fragile and out of his depth he is.

Continue to ready action. He certainly does not want to be the one to open a door and get a sword in the face for his troubles, and he has no idea what's going on in the hallway.

...Green suddenly appears in front of the cleric, shortsword in hand, as he runs afoul of the Sanctuary spell that's in effect!

Totally underrated spell.

Faux-Roderus shakes his head in abject disappointment at his would-be assassin. "Perhaps it's time to reconsider your life choices. Say, your name isn't Homer by any chance?"

On a side note, what a time for Lauranna to be dressed in drag, and be caught wearing brown-face like Justin Trudeau.

Tired of waiting and now hearing the sounds of a fight, Wymarc rushes to the door and warily opens it...

Uncertain of what's happening out in the hallway Joe continues to hold his ground while Wymarc finally goes and cracks their door open to take a peek. There's not a lot of light out in the hallway but there's enough that he can see what look to be three thugs tangling with Silver and VC Roderus down at the far end! He can also see Lucky out in the hallway, a staff sling in his hands.

SantiagoBot throws an uneasy glance over his shoulder at the still-sleeping Roderus but he can't let his companions fight alone. He moves out into the hallway towards the fighting, drawing out and loading his sling as he does - and doing a double-take when he realizes that Silver appears to fighting alongside a second Roderus.

"Dammit, we gotta put a couple of 'em down before we get overrun," Red groans as more of the group begins spilling out into the hallway. He takes a step back from Silver, reaching for something in one of his pockets. The goon produces a small vial and drinks the whole thing down...

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

...and the wounds given to him by Silver mend up and close completely. Orange steps forward into the space vacated by his buddy and tries taking a swing at the gunslinger...

Orange vs. Silver (Shortsword; Flanking): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
SA Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

...and draws blood! But luckily for Silver it's still largely just a flesh wound.

I think the light in the hallway should be normal now GM, since Lucky's glowstick sunrod is stuffed in his belt.

Ah yes, you're correct. Let there be light! \o/

And Lauranna's light spell as well

"Well, whoever you are could you guys keep it down out here? Bad enough that there's a peeping goblin at my window. And why is this hallway so dang long?"

As the fighting continues "Roderus" prays for the strength and patience to get through the night without killing anybody.

concentration (cast defensively, DC 19): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

She casts bull's strength on herself.

'Roderus' does his very best Grumpy-Old-Man-Woken-Before-the-Buttcrack-of-Dawn shtick, continuing to scold the goons and everyone else before praying to the heavens that he'll be able to refrain from whoopin' some butts before the night is over.

Green, to his surprise, feels strangely compelled to avoid trying to attack the old man again and instead whips around to try his luck against Silver, instead...

Green vs. Silver (Shortsword; Flank): 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 9 + 2 = 18

...and comes within a hair of taking the young woman's ear off!

Back outside, the Cyan Goblins Three continue to twist in the wind as they wait for something to shoot at.

Double move.

Feeling a little more confident now that most of his companions are out in the hallway - from the sounds of it, anyway - Joe carefully makes his way out of his room to join them. He sees Lucky and Santiago standing a short distance away with ranged weaponry drawn and then what looks like Silver and VC Roderus tangling with three figures at the far end of the hallway.

Are they werewolves? It's hard to tell even with the light that illuminates the corridor but anything is possible, right?

Gotta get up in their faces.

"Oi! You picked the wrong boss, a~~@!$+!s!"

Lucky charges, and swings his staff-sling at Green. The smell of brimstone grows strong.

The rest of the group begins to join the fray; Wymarc plants two arrows right in the middle of Green's back while Silver leaves another small wound with her longsword. Realizing that he'll have to get up close and personal Lucky charges forward at Green as well, but the goon is able to duck the blow aimed for his head.

From further back, SantiagoBot takes aim at Green with his sling...

Sling vs. Green (Into Melee): 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 6 - 4 = 22
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Crit!?: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 6 - 4 = 5

...and actually manages to crack him in the head with a sling bullet! Still, Santiago knows he's no archer; he stows his sling in preparation of drawing his own blade.

Not knowing when to quit, Red steps forward and both he and his buddy Orange continue their assault on Silver...

Red vs. Silver (Shortsword): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Orange vs. Silver (Shortsword): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

"Lucky! Am I glad that you're here! There's this little goblin hanging out in front of my window could you bat him off the windowsill with your stave?" the Venture-Captain says in a higher than normal pitched voice while dragging a heavy bludgeon about the melee now with more ease.

concentration (cast defensively DC 17): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

"Roderus" casts bless (this only effects: Lauranna, Silver, Lucky and Santiago due to range).

Happy to have some backup, 'Roderus' casts a blessing spell to bolster the combat prowess of 'himself' and those around him. He also casually inquires if Lucky does pest control, because the inn apparently has a heck of a goblin problem!

Though injured, Green doesn't seem quite willing to give up his position just yet. He continues to swing at Silver...

Green vs. Silver (Shortsword; Flank): 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 2 = 27
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

...and leaves her with another sizable wound.

Meanwhile, back outside, the goblin trio seem to finally realize that they're not going to be much help hanging around outside and so they stow their crossbows before making their way in through the windows.

"This not part of the plan..." one of them sighs.

Joe continues to creep forward, one hand in constant contact with the wall beside him. "Gotta stay sharp, can't let your guard down or they'll send in their little chihuahua-gnome werewolves to bite your ankles off," he mutters before looking up in alarm at the armed attackers. "Well I won't let you catch me by surprise!" he bellows, instinctively pushing away at the closest hostile mind.

Casting daze (Will 14) on Green. If he's already down from Wymarc's arrows, then double move since no other opponents are within range.

"AIN'T IN THE WINDOW NOW, CAPTAIN!" Lucky winks at the approaching goblin through the door.

Lucky steps to the side, dropping his sling-staff and instead snapping out a larger, folded staff of three parts linked by chains. He whirls the weapon about his head and brings it down on the thugs' apparent leader green. Flames run up and down Lucky's arms and enshroud the weapon.
