Game Master noral

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Scratching out the note to the town, Evanora is currently oblivious to her surroundings.

Gunther attaches the note to Goldie’s talon and send her back to town.

Perception:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

”Be wary, there is something behind that rock!”

Gunther warns his friends as he draws his kriegmesser, ready for a charge!

if we've moved to the campsite, wouldn't we all be outside the cabin?

perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Kebrin decided to avoid a sarcastic reply to the elf for the time being, and followed along in silence for the moment. A silence that was broken when movement was spotted, as Gunther called out his warning. The somewhat battered and scuffed looking gladius he wore soon cleared it's sheath, revealing a polished, and well sharpened blade, and the normally cheerful visage shifted into an emotionless mask, cold and calculating.

Handle animal: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Seeing Gunther ready for an imminent fight, the hawk flew back to aid his master.

”Atta girl! Don’t wanna miss a fight, do you? Let’s kick some ass then!”

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Talion draws his battleaxe as the enemy draws forth, preparing himself for combat.

#Richelle: 0 Damage
#Unknown: 0 Damage

Evanora:
Kebrin :
Talion :
Gunther:

-> GO! BOLD is up! Evanora can act twice for round 1 and 2.

"Oh. I believe that we have found our delinquent youths." Evanora comments as the arrows soar overhead.

Round 1
Evanora begins by casting mage armor on herself.

Round 2

She will then pick out Tolwin and put a Misfortune Hex on him. Roll twice, and take the worse of the two rolls

16 will DC. I need to move within 30 feet of the target, and will do so. I currently only see Rychelle, I believe.

what's the range between Kebrin and the targets looking like?

16 will DC. I need to move within 30 feet of the target, and will do so. I currently only see Rychelle, I believe.

You are missing 5 ft to be within 30 ft. Did you have more movement? If not then you cannot hex them currently. :-(

what's the range between Kebrin and the targets looking like?

Hi Kebrin, did you see that map link on top of this page? There you can see the distance.

I have moved. I only see one enemy in the distance on the map though.

Rather than leave Evanora out ahead on her own. Kebrin is going to run to if I have my squares right, I should end up diagonally south east of Evanora

Talion will double move to get as close to his allies as he can.

will w/o modifier : 1d20 ⇒ 5

Evanora's misfortune hex definitely is hard to resist!

Gunther is up!

Gunther will double move, Goldie will fly and do double move and in melee with Tolwin.

Tolwin drops his bow, draws his longsword and attacks!

longsword: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 131d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Richelle shoots an arrow at Kebrin which hits him right in the chest!

"Leave us alone!!" she shouts.

misfortune Longbow, pbs: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 3 + 1 = 17
Longbow, pbs: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 3 + 1 = 17

#Tolwin: 0 Damage

#Richelle: 0 Damage
#Unknown: 0 Damage

Evanora:
Kebrin : -6
Talion :
Gunther:

Seeing her misfortune trigger Richelle instead of Tolwin, she begins to cackle for some odd reason. Richelle continues to be misfortuned

Looking over at Tolwin, she also targets him with misfortune. Will DC 16

move = cackle
Standard= misfortune hex targeting Tolwin

Oh that hurts. Now put up that blasted weapon and talk, and you can return to town on your own feet, or over my shoulder if you don't

With that he will move up on Richelle, readying an attack if she tries to change weapons, or shoot him again.

ouch, half my hp in one go. Let's see if I am clever, or stupid, or dead :)

Talion double moves to get closer to the enemy outlined in yellow.

also, where's Gnasher in the initiative?

Gnasher Basher! Sorry! Jump in any time! Please make three rounds of actions! We assume you act with Evanora Alaenree!

~

Will save: 1d20 ⇒ 20

Tolwin unfortunately can resist the bad luck but Evanora still has a hold on Richelle!

”Who ... who are you people!? We ... we can ... hurt you?! Tolwin shouts.

Free action Evanora answers Tolwin

"We have been sent by the Pathfnder Society to check up on you two, fool boy! cackle Your parents were once Pathfinders, and we look after our own, apparently. cacklePut down your bow so that we may help you out of this Sticky Wicket!'cackle

Goldie evades the attacks of the boy and starts retaliating.
bite:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21;damage1d4 ⇒ 2
claw:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20;damage1d4 ⇒ 3
claw:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8;damage1d4 ⇒ 3

She then moves 5ft to flank the boy with the incoming Gunther.

Gunther charges at the boy and tries to deck him with his fist!
unarmed strike:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24;damage1d3 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Goldie’s and Gunther’s attacks are too much for Tolwin!!

He is severely wounded and falls unconscious!!

Kebrin sees that Richelle is about to retreat to fire again!

please roll your readied action.

stabbity sword: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

I don't want to kill you girl, but that doesn't mean I'll let you hurt me, or anyone else

he said as he stepped in and thrust his sword aiming for Richelle's shoulder.

Richelle is hurt badly when she steps back 5 ft but she is still standing!

Stealth(B): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27
Perc(Gunther ): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Suddenly, from behind a boulder a pale young Tiefling with skin as white as a sheet and freaky little horns appears and aims his crossbow at a vital spot ... Gunther cannot see the man in the right moment!

Crossbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Crossbow, sneak attack: 1d8 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + (1) = 5

The bolt hits Gunther's abdomen but his armor protects him!

The Tiefling then drops his crossbow and draws his short sword.

You now hear the Tiefling's strange voice shout!

"Kill them Richelle! Do not retreat! Kill them all!!"

~

Richelle is clearly afraid and shoots an arrow that flies high into the air.

"Please run! Please leave us alone!!" she shouts.

misfortune Longbow, pbs: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 = 9
Longbow, pbs: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 1 = 11

Round 4

Evanora

#Tolwin: dying

#Richelle: 7 Damage, misfortune
#Tiefling: Damage

Evanora:
Kebrin : -6
Talion :
Gunther:

Gunther pull out the bolt from between the chinks in his chainmail, he sees the cowardly tiefling and together with Goldie, move in and flank him.

“Coward! Using these kids as your shield, you deserved to die!”

Gunther then tries to slash at him with his falchion, while the tiefling is being harrased by his hawk from behind.

Falchion attack PA; damage
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22 ; 2d4 + 9 ⇒ (1, 4) + 9 = 14

Goldie’s bite attack; damage
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15 ; 1d4 ⇒ 2

The Tiefling is struck down by Gunther's Falchion and his unconscious and bleeding body drops to the ground.

Richelle hears the Tiefling's gurgles and immediately drops her longbow.

”Who ... who are you people!? We ... we .. I still ... do not want to hurt you?! she says and it is clear that she lacks the morale to continue to fight.

With the tiefling defeated, Gunther walks slowly toward Richelle, his hand still gripping the bloody falchion.

”We are Pathfinders! Here to see the mess you’ve gotten into! Now answers my question. Who the hell is this tiefling fella here and why do you guys want to kill random strangers like us?”

Seeing two of the three combatants fall, and Richelle no longer wishing to fight, Evanora ceases her cackling. "Ahem. Let's clean this up then, shall we?" She suggests to Snookums, who trots by her side. Evanora strolls over to Tolvin and squats down by his side and lays a finger on his chest. "Naughty boy. You got yourself all bloodied up now, didn't you. Let Auntie Evanora clean you up a bit."

Evanora will cast 'stabilize' on Tolwin. If out of combat, she will walk over to the tiefling to attempt the same thing.

Evanora's kindness is obvious as she is able to stabilize both the fallen enemies.

Richelle looks at Gunther and Evanora and she clearly is uncertain how to take this speech.

"Pathfinders? Ehh... really? Look, I ... we ... we wanted us to build our own path, ok! But ... but where should we have gone? We have nothing except of this here and now ... now we can never go back to Highdelve." she says and it is obvious that he seeks a solution quite desperately.

"We ... only know that the tiefling and his mother wanted to conduct a ritual and unleash something on the jubilee to distract the townsfolk so that he could do something ... we do not know what. And we also do not know where his mother is ... she has been in the cave for ages now with this amulet we stole." she pleads.

“This mother you speak of is inside this cave? Then would you guide us to her, let say that would be your first step at redeeming yourself.”

[ooc]Assuming I was able to stabilize both persons/[ooc]

Evanora will nod at the tiefling, now that he is no longer bleeding to death, and return to the boy. Crouching and placing a finger on him again, she heals him. Some.

cure light wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

"Make your own path, eh? Perhaps we will take you back with us to begin your training to become actual pathfinders. How does that suite you, then?"

Looking from Gunther and back to the tiefling. "We could always wake him back up and get some questions answered. It would take more of my magic, or your potions, away from us though. We may need them after facing the mother and the beast though."

Oh sorry, I had updated my post earlier ... stabilize worked!! ;-)

After Evanora's healing, Tolwin's eyes open!

Richelle moves to him and hugs him but he seems to be confused about the situation and remains silent.

Richelle look at Evanora after her proposal.

”We know of a Pathfinder called Dreng ... we have a letter where our father mentions his name. Maybe you can bring us to him when this is all over?“ she pleads.

Richelle sighs again after Gunther's statement.

”We will stay here if you allow. I promise we will not run!“ she says with a quivering voice.

Richelle then takes two potions from her belt and gives them to you.

"These can heal! Take them!"

“I don’t think we will get anything from the sick bastard, just let him die. We can let the kids guide us to his mother.”

Tiefling's gear: elixir of hiding, potion of cure light wounds; Other Gear padded armor, light crossbow with 10 crossbow bolts,
short sword, thieves’ tools

Gunther looks at Tolwin and Richelle.
“You won’t get out so easily, I can’t trust you before you can prove yourself. Now lead us to his mother so we can clean this mess quickly.”

Tolwin looks up from the floor and speaks up with fear in his eyes.

"You do not understand!! You have to be careful ... in the cave - it's a giant! For sure! I've only read about them before. Feran and his mother said they are preparing it in that cave. It looks weird, though. Two heads, and these mangled limbs. It smells horrible. But the cave was so dark, I couldn't really see it well. I was the one who got up close to it. Be careful! I do not want to go in there!!" he says.

If any of you want to roll knowledge(local) to identify please do so.

Knowledge(local: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

Right, well, this has all been exciting,

Kebrin grumbled and then made a sharp gasp, and a gurgle while his knees wobbled for a moment as he worked the arrow out of his chest and armor, and a half whispered string of expletives came from his lips, mostly in dwarven, but a couple of nasty ones in the orcish tongue. Followed up by him poking his finger in the hole and sighing...

gonna have to mend that when we get back, but first we've got a lot of going forward to do...and as to that I have a bit of a suggestion. Miss.. how much crap are you willing to take on to make things right? We need to solve this matter right now before more people end up dead, and trust me, if a giant gets unleashed on the festival, people will die.

Looking at his companions he continues on rubbing his chin and beard,

The hawk message didn't go, but the idea is good. What say you, we send...what's your name girl? Richelle was it?...What say we send her in with our note, and something to confirm it was from us? We can then move on with playing at being heroes a bit more, and I can work on my ability to not get put full of holes. Other two aren't going nowhere in any hurry methinks

Evanora accepts the two potions that 'can heal,' from Richelle. Of course, she then turns her keen alchemist's eye, along with a 'detect magic' upon them to ascertain their nature.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

She then collects the tiefling's potion of cure light wounds, and elixer of hiding for the moment. As she begins to rejoin the group, she stops and eyes the thieve's tools a moment longer before shrugging to herself and picking them up as well.

After listening to everyone's opinion of what the two delinquent youth's should do, she says to Kebrin, "Oh, stop being a grumpy gus, and drink one of these potions." She holds out the teifling's potion of clw.

"Take the note back to town and await the town's judgement, or stay here and we take them back to the Path Finder Society to speak with Dreng when this is all over. That is our current dilemma than?"

These moral decisions are so very delightful!

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Grumpy? I'm not grumpy

He said before knocking back the potion, and one could almost see his moustache curl as he crinkled his nose up at the taste. A second latter he pulled out a flask that was tucked away and took a swig from it. Looking around he raised an eyebrow at the rest of them. The kids included.

anyone else fancy a nip? Varisian whiskey. It'll clean your wounds, or make you forget 'em, depending on what you need it for

“I’ll take a sip. Never say no to a good whiskey.”

He takes the flask and take one big sip followed by a sigh of relief.

“Always like the Varisian one.” He says to Kebrin while giving the flask back.

Gunther then get back to the matter at hand.

“I’m afraid the town wouldn’t believe anything the kids says, we have to make sure the town knows that the letter came from us and not just some kind of prank. Any ideas?”

"I don't suppose that we could get the hawk to go with the girl, could we? The hawk wouldn't willingly go with her unless you sent it with her."

The boy's master is a dwarf, I could write something that the kids can't read be she could?

He suggested, also looking around for anyone else that might have an idea.

Don't suppose we have anything we could send with to add a bit more weight to their words?

"Hee hee hee. Such as the unconscious teifling? What a wonderful idea! Carrying their unconscious trouble making companion would make for a very convincing penance. This would also allow the towns constable to interrogate the tiefling. Win win!". Evanora begins clapping your hands excitedly.

Richelle and Tolwin are clearly grateful!!

"Yes, yes, write a note and we take this with us. My master will definitely believe me! I never was able to grasp Dwarven and she knows that! And we take Feran with us on the wagon to town! We ... we go immediately ..." Tolwin say and starts to move him and are soon ready to leave with your permission.

Then go now! And don’t let the tiefling wake up until you get to the town guards. Remember, I can track you down if you decided to flee instead! Now go!”

To say Kebrin was more than a little shocked, and confused would have been to put it mildly as he looked to the elf, then his own hands and then back to the elf who was excitedly clapping them together as if to get him excited as well. At least until the youth interupted.

right. well, let's get that done, get you on your way to safety, and see if we can't stop a giant and sacrifices, and all the other nastiness so we can all go back, and a nice meal, and a tankard or two

For his part in sending them back, he writes a quick note in dwarven.

in the name of the Peacemaker. I shall vouch for their return, as we have new problems to face on your behalf. Be fair in justice.

and will sign it with a rune, and a somewhat crude image of a hammer with lines around it to indicate a glow (holy symbol of Grundinar)

"Lucky for us that we had a Dwarf in our company. They should believe us now." Talion says, entirely ignoring Evanora clapping Kebrin's hands like he's some kind of puppet.

Strangest elf I've ever met.
