GM TK-421 Agents of Edgewatch

Game Master CtotheZ

Hey guys do not throw water on this fire it will get way worse.

Roscoe will try to follow what Mason is doing.
Nature: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Citizens, please if you could give assistance to stop the spread of this fire. If not then please stand back so then no one is hurt.

Mason and Roscoe double down but can't seem to make a dent.

The crowd backs away, with some departing all together. Someone at a stall nearby reaches behind his counter and produces a shovel and a bucket which he brings to the guards working the fire. "Here try this!"

Now I'll also accept an athletics check to fill the bucket with a shovel and try that.

Rocky will speedily attempt to fill the bucket and toss it

Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

This DC is ridonkulous for you guys. Rocky was unable to meet it with a 19. I have a decent roll waiting in the wings so I'm gonna bot Ialtag's turn to get the success you need.

Ialtag: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

With the combined efforts of the guard, with a little outside help, Ialtag is able to finally smother the flames.

This does nothing to smother the anger between the two goblins who begin staring daggers at eachother again from their respective stalls.

With the immediate danger resolved, how would you like to handle this situation, Agents?

Ialtag and Mason you speak to the goblin who was throwing fire over there and we will speak to this one here. once speratedNow if you would please tell me how this happened from the beginning so we can know the full story.

To Rocky: "I'm Grunka. Thats Pelmo. Hims big mad cuz my goblin food is gooder than his. Just cuz he sells plain old pickels. I fries mine! And anything else that can fits in my fryer." she adds and points to her ramshackle sign that reads "Everything Fried" "Him not the only goblin who can sell pickles no matter what him says!" and she shoots a dirty look towards Pelmo around the monk and sticks her tongue out.

hey now don't be doing that talk to me don't even look over there ok. So I understand you both are having a business clash but you can't set fire to another person's business. That kind of behavior is not right. If you want to beat that person do it in sales of pickles not by fire. Do you understand?

"Huh!? I was the one with the shop on fire. Go yell at Pelmo. Him started it!"

Roscoe will step up to Grunka, Sorry Grunka, I think my colleague here may have been a bit mixed up with the whole fire situation. So he was just mad at you having better sales than him? How did he cause the fire?
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Mason heads over to talk to the other shop goblin, Pelmo.

"So, what's the story over here?"

will start to Pursue a Lead on Pelmo and one on Grunka (can only maintain 2 at a time, so my other leads would be dropped. takes 1 minute of conversation time to kick into effect)

@Roscoe: Grunka raises an eyebrow at the two guards "Him tossed a fire bottle at my shop! Him mad cuz him thinks only him can sell pickles. Him think if me sells pickles me stealing hims bidness."

@Mason: Pelmo grumbles a bit before answering, "Grunka was stealing from me. When I say so to her she yell and toss things at me so I defend myself."

have you guys had any disagreements or issues before? What would you say is the cost of the damages today?

”Stealing what exactly? This is a fairly busy area, especially with the festival, are you certain it was her?”

would try to sense motive to see if he’s holding info back. Perception is +6E, add’l +1 if Pursue a Lead is active

@Rocky: "I run fryers here since thye say festival coming. Pelmo over there selling pickles all the time. Today only fight. Whatchu mean 'cost of damages'? " Grunka says, and imitates Rocky's manner of speech when she quotes the monk.

@Mason: "She stole pickles! Pickles are mine, not hers. I was here first and I sells pickles! I told her that and she attack me. Toss cooking stuffs at me!" and he shakes a dented fryer basket he pulls from the ground by his stall. "She wants fight! Fine, I fights back."

He's doesn't seem to be holding anything back. He's answering the questions you're asking.

Can I get a sense motive, +6 perception to see if Grunka is telling the truth?

She seems sincere.

”Ah, I see. Hang out here for a bit and let me talk to my people, and see if we can get this situation sorted out for you, ok?”

Diplo/Make an impression: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
+1 if pursue a lead available

Mason motions for Roscoe and the others to come closer and then explains the situation from Pelmo’s point of view.

”I think we can maybe come to some sort of compromise here. Easiest seems to get her to stop selling fried pickles, but if she’s not open to that, we can come up with something”

Ok, wait here while I go talk with my colleague. Roscoe will walk over to Mason.

Grunka says that she fries everything. She said that Pelmo tossed a fire bottle at her stand.

”Aye, he did. And according to him, she cast the first stone his direction, so he was defending himself. Seems like they’re both in the wrong here to one degree or another, but let’s come up with some options to keep it from happening again.”

While you're making your plan on how to resolve this situation you are within your rights as guards to levy a fine against one or both of them as part of said resolution. This is the way you get loot as guards. Its not uncommon for you to confiscate whatever coin and equipmenta person may haveon them.

Yes they both are in the wrong. How about we fine them both and tell them that they need to separate a bit and if we have to come back we take em to jail.

Roscoe will walk over to the two, Pelmo and Grunka because of what you both did you will both be fined for the destruction it has caused. Next time if you have a conflict with someone try to come to a peaceful resolution or call the guards before turning to violence. Also I would suggest that if you move away from each other.

The two Goblins grumble their acent. The rummage in their pockets and cash boxes and produce 15 gp each in payment of the fine.
This issue is considered resolved in regards to the book. Is there anything else you wish to do before moving on in your patrol?

can’t really think of anything else myself… so, back to patrolling I guess

Continue on with patrol.

Slide updated.

A crowd of fairgoers stands watching in awe as, just beyond a line of guard ropes, a stone castle—complete with battlements and domed towers—marches along a wide, elliptical stone track. Dozens of thick mechanical legs support its bulk, and nobles in fine dresses and coats wave from atop its walls. Suddenly, a commotion erupts from the crowd. A woman races out holding a dagger and a belt pouch. Behind her, a red-faced man points and yells, “Thief! Stop her!”

The agents can move to cut off her escape by succeeding at an Acrobatics or Athletics check.

This is a special surprise round. Only those two listed checks can be used. You may make the attemp untrained. Failure does not have a penalty other than your aren't successful.
