Gameday IX - Revolution on the Riverside with DM Deevor (Inactive)

Game Master Deevor

Liger shakes her head in annoyance, "One must always be cautious about whom they employ. especially as second in command... " [ib]The otehrs will balk and look to nalla for guidance if we can defeat or force the robed man to flee.[i] He then strides closer, before loosing a ray of frost at the man in the cloak.

Ray attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23 ray damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

stride, cast two action spell, with 120 foot range.

"But me wants to play battle music..." he mutters, but decides to not have a battle of songs.

"Maybe next time, buddy. Sorry for stealing your spotlight!"

Duvik reaches the rebel on the bridge and lurches forwards to strike the man, but the man slips the strike. As the goblin's arm moves forward, it is caught in the man's hands, who using the goblin's momentum swings him round and throws him towards the water. The dwarf falls and squirms in the air trying to catch the wall, but falls crashing onto his back into the water, sustaining some damage.

Readied action - Athletics Push (Crit success) - You may try to Grab an Edge as a reaction, I assume you were holding your shield?

Birgid fares no better, as her attention is taken by the dwarf's shout of surprise, she lets the rebel catch her unawares. Her body is bumped and her feet are standing on air, it will surely be only a minute before she too will hit the canal below. Hitting the water hard, Birgid sustains damage as her head smashes into the hard floor of the canal.

Readied action - Athletics Push (Crit success) - You may try to Grab an Edge as a reaction.

How tall are Birgid and Duvik? I guess the 2 crits aren't so bad, as of the 9 strikes only 1 hit.

As Birgid falls, Erryn reaches out to try and save her, but only manages to touch her weapon, powering it with the spell she held in her hand.

Meanwhile Manny inspires the Pathfinders to strike true and harder +1 Strike, +1 Damage, +1 Fear saves

Liger sends a ray towards the robed man, who winces in pain.
Zug similarly sends a flash of pain to one of the brigands, but the man just shakes his head and recovers his composure.

The robed man grows, "Get that user of magic" he says pointing at Liger. He himself returns the favour, sending a ray at the Leshy, but it flies high above the little Pathfinder.

The swift current takes Duvik and Brigid along the canal away from the bridge.

Encounter Mode Round 2

The archers follow their leaders advice and a raft of arrows fly towards Liger, as three hit the poor little Leshy 13HPs damage

The other rebels move forward and attack Erryn and Manny both takes blows. Both 1HP damage

Active Conditions
Inspire Courage
Birgid, Duvik - Reactions, but expect 5pts falling damage, to be prone, in water in the canal, DC=30 on smooth, wet wall.
Concealment for Duvik, Birgid, Erryn, all rebels except one in front of Manny, for normal sight.

You are all up

Looks like my Lingering Composition check succeeded. If it didn't, I'll assume Inspire Courage is active from either my Lingering Composition or Zug.

"Sorry man, you're fighting on the wrong side." Manny raises his whip to subdue the fighter engaging him in melee.

Whip: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 1 = 23
Nonlethal Slashing: 1d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 = 4

Whip: 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 1 - 5 = 11
Nonlethal Slashing: 1d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 1 = 6

Manny casts Shield to protect himself from the hail of arrows coming his way.

Manny will raise his shield to block the first attack that hits as a reaction.

Grab an Edge: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

As she starts to fall Birgid slams her shield-arm down flat on the bridge, arresting her drop. Hauling herself back onto the platform, she snarls angrily at the man who shoved her "Your rebellion is a sham. Folgrit forgive you, for I shall not."

Assuming it takes two actions to climb onto the walkway + stand, Birgid will then Strike this jerk.
Attack: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 9 + 1 = 27 Damage: 2d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8, 2) + 4 + 1 = 15 Crit?: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (4, 3) + 5 = 12

Let me know how you want to do this, since I've already been moved. If Erryn steps out of the way I'll climb up in her spot.

I assume I can do this before Birgid climbs up, so that she can still act as a physical barrier.

With an expression of annoyance, Erryn knocks the man's sword arm away, the gesture accompanied by a surge of negative energy. She then turns and moves quickly to Liger's side to render aid. "There, not so bad," she says, after it seems the wounds were not as severe as they appeared.

1 Action Harm vs Blue, Basic Fort DC 17: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Battle Medicine for Liger: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Hero Point for a reroll: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Healing: 2d8 ⇒ (6, 8) = 14

1) Single-action harm. 2) Stride. 3) Battle Medicine for Liger

Despite her best efforts, Birgid falls.

Even if there's no soundscape for inspirational songs, there is always some time for a not-so-inspirational goblin song.

"Run away, run away
run away, run away
This fight will wreck your evening , your whole life, and your day
Every single blow is nothing but dismay
So, run away
Run away, run away"

Performance vs target's Will DC: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
Goblin song - targeting the enemy in Birdig's front, hapefully causing -1 to will save

While singing, Zug weaves some magic into it, commanding the rebel to flee the battle.

Cast Command, Will save DC17 or run away as in fleeing condition

>Goblin song
>> Cast spell

The DC is over 21? Okay.

Disliking having to tear through the lackeys, Liger still resigns himself to the fact. Grimacing, she releases an Electric Arc on both the guard next to Manny and the guard who kicked Brigid off the bridge. If zug's spell worked and caused him to flee, then just the one next to Manny

Basic Reflex save, DC 17 Arc Damage + Inspire Courage: 1d4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 = 7

He then draws a Scroll of Shattering Gem from his scroll case.

two action spell, and draw an item. end turn.

Will save vs Zug 1d20 ⇒ 12

The face of the man on the bridge turns white, his eyes open wide.

The fleeing condition says whatever happens, its on the targets turn.

Just need Duvik and Birgid to do their stuff.

Trying to keep her head over the water, Birgid strikes out for the stairway next to Erryn.

Swim: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Swim: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Swim: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Trying to keep her head over the water, Birgid strikes out for the stairway next to Erryn.

Swim: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Swim: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Swim: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

You are trained in athletics so can swim in a flowing river, and your character shows +7 for athletics skill, so DC=15 would mean you pass, critical pass and fail. So you swim 10ft, then 15ft to the steps, (steps also very difficult terrain (wet steps and up = 15ft) so make it to the top of the steps.

Oh right, I was just applying my Str. Sorry old habit from PF1e.Got the ACP part right at least.

okay, after reviewing the rules for grab an edge, even not having a hand free, if I get a natural 20, it'd still be a critical success, and I caught myself on the edge with my scythe.

Reflex: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Duvik falls into the water and attempts to swim to the stairs.

Athletics to swim: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Athletics to swim: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
Athletics to swim: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Despite Duvik at first struggling to get his head above water as he drinks in the cold and refreshing canal water, he then finds himself carried on the current, like the crest of the wave and reaching the stairs is able to find himself standing on the stairs, half in, half out of the water. Swim, fail then crit success

The rebel that was fighting Erryn, feels her magic suck his life blood from him Heal spell is 1d8+1, before the goblin, Zug, sends the man's mind towards insanity, he sees the goblin increase in size, as the green clawed hand, the size of a man, comes towards him. He sees the goblins smile turn into a dripping set of sharp and deadly fangs. He screams and dives into the canal to escape. The rebel attempts to swim away, but in his turmoil, he sinks under the water and is taken by the current. He struggles to keep his head above water, his arms and legs flail away, as his body turns around and around in the waters.

Nalla is suddenly plunged into darkness as the light in that area is extinguished.

The robed man curses the cleric, "That woman, she believes, take her out." He himself speaks some words and sends 3 bolts of grey force towards the woman, Erryn takes 13 point damage from magic missile. In response to their leader, two shortbows turn towards her, luckily one misses as the warrior priest reacts quickly, but the other finds it's mark Erryn takes 4HPs damage and the woman falls to the ground. Blood spilling out from the arrow impaled on her chest.

The 2 archers Green & Silver drop their shortbows and draw out the shortswords from their leather scabbards.

The third archer Red fires another arrow at Liger, hoping to take the magic user out, but fortunately his wounds had been tended leaving Liger still standing Liger takes 4HPs damage. He drops the shortbow and reaches down to his side, pulling up an unlit torch.

The rebel yellow fighting Manny, easily steps aside from the magical energy thrown at him by Liger and continues to slash away at Manny with his shortsword. However Manny, more experienced at fighting, easily manages to avoid most of the blows, until the rebel gets lucky and almost punctures Manny's liver, but the reach of the blade is just short. A crit hit for 2HPs damage!!

Encounter Mode Round 3

Active Conditions
Erryn Dying 1
Inspire Courage - Last round
Concealment for all rebels except one in front of Manny, for normal sight.
Nalla only seen with darkvision.

You are all up

Is the concealment due to darkness or some other effect?

oof, a natural 20, or a 27 on that reflex save? Wow, this is going to be rough.

Liger casts the scroll of Shattering Gem in their hands, targeting himself for it's benefits. She turns to look at Erryn, "You are not allowed to fall... Not yet anyway." He draws a scroll of Heal from his scroll case.

two action spell cast, one action draw item. end turn

Seems like the concealment is from darkness, misunderstood.

"Erryn!" Birgid cries, emerging from the water just in time to see the other woman fall. Rounding on the robed mage, the dwarf grits her teeth and bulls past his lackeys. "I don't know what game you're playing, nor do I care. This farce is at an end!" The paladin lunges with her sword-arm extended.

Stride, Stride, Strike
Strike #1: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 9 + 1 = 27 Damage: 2d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5, 7) + 4 + 1 = 17

Recovery Check, DC11: 1d20 ⇒ 20 ah, well, there we go, no more dying for me

@Birgit, I am really sorry but going up stairs is difficult terrain so you don't reach the robed guy, in two strides. There are 3 Birgids on the map, 1 the original position, then one after 2 strides and then the other after 3 strides. Please remove the original and leave just 1 Birgid, where you want after 2 or 3 strides. Please leave the rolls for Strike and Damage if you take 3 strides, or to use to strike one of the rebels, if you take 2 strides and stop by a rebel.

@Liger apologies rebel takes 3 damage.

Okay. Instead I will Stride > Strike Red > Stride

"Sorry buddy, I've got to hurry." Manny grimaces as the blade hits him as his whip glows with unknown energy.

"My ancestors have passed this whip down for generations. Time to get awesome.' He casts Magic Weapon upon his whip and strikes the brigand once.

Whip, +1 Striking, Inspired Courage: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 15
Nonlethal Slashing, Striking, Inspire Courage: 1d4 + 2 + 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 + (1) + 1 = 7

"Not as fun as muck," Duvik pouts as he strides forward up the stairs right behind the one whos trying to hit singing man, not singing goblin.

"Thwack, go your knee!" Duvik swings his scythe.

Strike 1, inspire: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 9 + 1 = 22
Damage Slashing: 1d10 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6

Strike 2, MAP: 1d20 + 9 - 5 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 9 - 5 + 1 = 18
Damage, slashing: 1d10 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 = 12

if either are crits against his flat footed, the scythe does 1d10 additional damage

Incapacitated rebels are at 90 degrees, red, yellow(gold), blue.
Repositioned Birgid to strike rebel after two strides.

Birgid cuts down the rebel in a single strike.

Duvik cuts down the one fighting Manny, as the man skips over Manny's whip. Duvik raises his shield as he turns to face the next rebel.

Zug is up

"Oh, no! Erryn hurt!" Zug cries out, alarmed. Alarmed not only because a friend and ally goes down - but especially since a friend and ally goes down right next to him. The goblin jumps to the side, as one of the arrows meant for Erryn lands between his feet. Almost as a reflex, Zug calls to his magic, and sends the arrow back towards the silver bandit.

Telekinetic projectile,IC: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 1 = 9
damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

But haste is not good in this case, and the arrow fails to fly even in the right general direction. Nevertheless, the small goblin bravely approaches the enemies.

>>Cast spell
>Stride

"Hey Zug, play some of your inspirational music. I'm going in!"

Zug, do you want to Inspire Courage next turn?

Birgid you need 2 strides to get close enough to hit the rebel, so placed accordingly. Takes 15ft of movement steps onto the first square of the bridge, so you need to use your 2nd stride to move and get the close enough to strike a rebel. Rules different from 1e. So I stopped your movement close enough to the rebel to hit, but getting you as close to the robed figure as possible, as that seemed in keeping with your intentions.

Birgid's steps forward, her weapon deadly in her hands as with a single sweep of her weapon, she cuts the rebel holding the unlit torch in two. His legs stand still for a moment as his torso topples backward into the canal, leaving a red trail of blood mixing with the water. The legs then slowly fall forwards from the barrels.

Liger's casts a spell, a crystal clear diamond appears before him, hovering and moving, seeking to protect him from damage from the rebels weapons. Another scroll appears in his hands.

Meanwhile, Manny's whip suddenly takes on a greenish hue, as his magic infuses the weapon with occult power. He snaps it at the rebel in front, but the man laughs and jumps over the whip as it cracks on the floor.

The rebel is not so lucky, as he lands only to find a goblin holding a scythe that takes the rebels head from his shoulders, dropping the man quickly. The goblin then brings his shield up as he turns to face the next rebel.

Erryn, lies in a pool of blood that does not seem to be spreading any further.

Zug, shocked by seeing Erryn fall, calls upon his magic, but in his aggitated state he cannot control the arrow with his magic and it flies harmlessly into the canal.

With the cleric down and about to be tended to by the magic user that was his target before, the robed man points at Liger with his finger that turns white and icy as a ray hits the Leshy. The cold moves down and through Liger, freezing his limbs making movement difficult. Liger takes 10 HPs damage from a crit ray of frost, (if I read it correctly the gem does not stop magic, as it stops strikes). Also 10ft penalty to speed.

With a glint of Birgid's armour catching from the dim torch light, the rebel closest to her, uses all his strength to push her in the back towards the waterwheel. She desperately tries to turn and raise her shield to stop the force, but without the shield able to protect her, her feet shuffle backwards onto ground made slippery by the waterwheel splashing.

The other rebel left standing, guarding the other bridge, seems to set himself for the next Pathfinder to attempt to gain access to the higher ground.

Encounter Mode Round 4

Active Conditions
Erryn Wounded 1
Liger -10ft to speed
Concealment for all rebels for normal sight, so need flat check 5 to strike.
Nalla only seen with darkvision.

You are all up

Manny Strides across the bridge, stopping when he is 10 feet to the West of the guard. He thinks for a moment and sweeps his whip across the revolutionary's feet.

Flat Check DC 5 to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 13
Trip, Whip +1, Inspired Courage vs Reflex DC: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 10

Manny makes a note to blame the darkness on this one. So he swings again.

Flat Check DC 5 to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 13
Attack, Inspired Courage: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (19) + 4 + 1 + 1 - 5 = 20
Slashing Damage: 1d4 + 2 + 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 2 + (3) + 1 = 8

"Blocking the bridge? Smart move but it makes you the fall guy."

"Careful, thinging man! He pushy! Also, he'th yourth" Duvik yells as he drops his scythe to his feet. He draws his shortbow and shoots the hooded man.

Composite Shortbow, Inspire Courage: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 1 = 10
Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 1 = 9

Composite Shortbow, Inspire Courage: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (13) + 8 + 1 - 5 = 17
Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 1 = 9

Again, this is deadly, so if either are crits, add a 1d10 damage

"Nanana boo boo!" Duvik says an ancient goblin prayer.

Looks like the robed man has dared to approach the Pathfinders. Birgid would be close by, but she's having some trouble with the bandits already. Maybe putting the robed man out of battle would resolve the situation.

Zug begins chanting yet another goblin song, and weaving magic into it

"Guardman, bossman
standing like a smoked ham
watching sewers, watching keep
but now they should go to sleep."

Goblin song, targeting the robed man. -1 to will saves if successful
Perform vs. will DC: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

And immediately afterwards, a magical force starts pulling the enemies into dreamlands.

Cast sleep, DC17 5ft burst, so targeting the robed man and the rebel

@Duvik, dropping a weapon is an action in 2e, so only the first shot.

H - Will 1d20 ⇒ 17

Rebel - Will 1d20 ⇒ 4

Manny's whip lashes the stomach of the guard, causing him great pain and anguish. He crouches over holding his stomach just as an arrow whizzes through the space where his head had just been. Duvik's arrow continues on crashing and splintering against the wall.

The robed man looks down at Zug, entranced by his performance, but the lullaby the goblin sings, doesn't seem to have the required effect. As he looks down and laughs at Zug, "Your puny magics are worthless."

The rebel warrior guarding the bridge is not so fortunate, and collapses to the floor. A sweet smile on his face and look of euphoria as he dreams of his true love and what might have been.

Birgid, Liger and Erryn are up.

"Thanks Zug!" Manny gives a thumbs up.

You are correct that it does not protect from spells.
Liger, ignoring his wounds, focuses on bringing Erryn back into the fight.

2-Action heal: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

She then moves to take cover behind a set of barrels.

two action cast, stride. end-turn.

Thanks, Liger!

Erryn immediately snaps back to consciousness and catches sight of the robed man as she climbs back to her feet. With a word and a gesture, she drops a flood of horrifying memories directly into his mind.

DC 5 flat check: 1d20 ⇒ 15

1) Stand. 2+3) Cast fear.

Post pending resolution of the discussion thread question. Probably going for a swim lolsob

Will resolve fear after Birgid has resolved the Acrobatics checks.

Just remembered the speed negative from the crit ray. had to back up just out of the barrels' protection because of it. Updated the map.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (5) + 0 = 5 This is important, so I will spend my Hero Point!

Acrobatics, Alternate Reality!: 1d20 ⇒ 11 Alas

Acrobatics vs Waterwheel: 1d20 ⇒ 7

[dice=Acrobatics]1d20+0 This is important, so I will spend my Hero Point!

[dice=Acrobatics, Alternate Reality!]1d20 Alas

I need a second acrobatics check please, please see post above, if I don't get one in the next 4hrs I will move on and roll for you.

Just remembered the speed negative from the crit ray. had to back up just out of the barrels' protection because of it. Updated the map.

Sometimes a speed negative is a blessing?????????!!!!!!!

H Will Save vs Fear 1d20 ⇒ 7

As Liger hides after his healing brings Erryn's life back, she stands and uses the power of Arazni to cloud the man's mind with the horrors of his childhood. The hours spent locked in a dark and musty chest. The chest is opened and his father appears, a baton in hand, cheap brandy on his breath, "Now feel the punishment you deserve."

Meanwhile Birgid is heard crying out as she slips on the glistening paving stones on the upper level, She slides feet first into a waterwheel, the paddles crashing and crushing her legs as she falls unceremoniously into the canal. Birgid 7HPs damage. As she tries to get her head above water, she struggles for breath, her head bobbing up and down, falling under the water, until somehow she finds some control and manages to hold her head above water and swim with the current.

Swim 1 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
Swim 2 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Swim 3 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

The grey robed man, seeing the penultimate rebel standing drop in front of him and the visions of terror that assault his mind, screams and runs. His robe billows behind him as he runs out across the bridge, past Zug, Erryn and Liger out of the chamber along the canal footpath.

Seeing his leader run, the rebel looks to see how he is outnumbered and being severely injured, tries to jump across the canal and run from the chamber. However with the pain in his stomach, he is not moving freely and instead jumps into the wall of the opposite bank. He lets out a loud sigh of air being expelled from his lungs, as he takes his final breath, before his head is submerged under the water.

Rebel crit failed long jump and is prone on landing. As he falls 10ft and fell prone judged took falling damage 5HPs

The final rebel is asleep, smiling and lying on the upper level, blissfully oblivious to his surroundings.

Nalla is nowhere to be seen.

You are out of combat and now in exploration mode.

"Bah! This isn't over!" Manny flourishes his vibrant whip for a moment as the magic fades. He casts light upon his brooch and hears some sloshing. He looks to the canal and sees Birgid on the waterwheel.

"Birgid, I got ya." Manny uses his hands or his whip to help her back up. "Swimming in heavy armor like that isn't easy."

"Nalla! Where are you?" He calls out. "We gotta find her. She was so close to listening to us. Maybe Sleeping Beauty over there can give us some answers."

Even if he spent all 3 actions moving, he went a long way to get past us. Assuming his speed is 25 feet, based on the path he took he should be about 25 feet west of me. Is it impossible to chase him? Cause boy, I'd like to.

Even if he spent all 3 actions moving, he went a long way to get past us. Assuming his speed is 25 feet, based on the path he took he should be about 25 feet west of me. Is it impossible to chase him? Cause boy, I'd like to.

OK, go for it.... Encounter back on Erryn, you have nothing in your hands, assuming 25ft movement, 1 stride gets you to 5ft range.

[ooc] Liger has no problem letting him go OR throwing a spell or three. {/ooc}

Erryn rushes after the robed man, reaching out with a hand wreathed in negative energy. "You might escape, but it won't be without a scratch," she hisses.

1d10 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
1d10 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Well, the dice have spoken, I guess! DC 17 Basic Fort save on both of those.

1) Stride. 2) Single-action harm. 3) Single-action harm.

"Yay! Violence and chaseth!" Duvik cheers.

He runs down the sewer and shoots and arrow at the guy.

Composite Shortbow: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Damage, Piercing: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Composite Shortbow, MAP: 1d20 + 8 - 5 ⇒ (8) + 8 - 5 = 11
Damage, Piercing: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

"Oh, no! Bad man try to escape! Stop him!"

Zug turns on his heels and starts running after the man. There is not much he can do to stop the supposed enemy leader, but a mental jolt might at least slow his down a bit.

Cast Daze - 4 points of nonlethal damage, and DC17 will save. If the target critically fails the save, it is also stunned 1.

Will Save v Erryn 1 1d20 ⇒ 13
Will Save v Erryn 2 1d20 ⇒ 11
Will Save v Zug 1d20 ⇒ 18

His will is too strong for the weak magic of Erryn's touch and as Zug's lights attack his eyes, he sees through the magic lights, almost as though he was unaffected. Almost a crit success on the daze. Duvik is not so lucky with the second that smacks into one of the dead bodies of rebels, that float by on the current.

You see the man continue on his way and out of sight around a corner, running away never looking back. As he was frightened still, he's not waiting around.

As Erryn says the dice have spoken, and he gets away. If you followed further there are several tunnels with and without canals that are around the corner. The turns will mean ranged spells/strikes would not be an option. The sounds of gnome machinery get louder and drown out any sounds of footsteps or breathing.

Liger, dithers as she decides whether to chase or stay, is intrigued by the barrels next to him. He sniffs at the barrel and sees that there is a brown liquid seeping extremely slowly from one of the barrels. She wipes her finger on the oily liquid and stands up straight taking a step back. The barrels are filled with oil, which had they been set alight, would probably caused some dangerous fires, especially to those standing next to them.

You return from your chase, to find Manny helping Birgid from the canal.

Birgid eventually swims, spluttering and splashing in the water, before she climbs out of the canal clutching one end of Manny's whip tied around her wrist and removing a small fish from the neck of her armour. She stands, drips and creates a huge puddle under her feet. She waits several minutes to let the puddle drain away, after her previous experience with trying to stand and move in a puddle.

Manny is next to the sleeping beauty, that appears to be waking, his arms start to stretch as his body squirms on the paved stone flooring.

What do you do Manny?

Everyone can give me a perception check for searching around the area.

Hero Point to Birgid for learning to swim.
