Knew this was gonna happen. ;)

Least I had a chance to give Speck a dedicated heal, though I'd have proffered to do a Channel. Wasn't viable with potential enemies within heal range though.


Male Human (Polish Jew/Native American/Irish) Techie 7/Martial Artist 2

Yeah, they were happy enough to chat since you kicked their butts, as long as they thought they were going to get away. But they can't prove their claims to being innocent traders, and likely are not such.

Brain Fart... Misunka is the race! I was like who is Misunka, and would they go already... LOL.

Hit on Rocko threatens a Crit, which could be ugly. But, might add dimension to the narrative/story.

@rando1000 - did any of that moving create a flanking opportunity, Djack will wait to go last.


Male Human (Polish Jew/Native American/Irish) Techie 7/Martial Artist 2

Yeah, I never properly introduced the name, I've just been using it myself. None of the party know the name, it's what the ancients called them.

Re:crit, I missed it. Rolled locally and failed to confirm.

Yes. The 5' step to attack Quince placed one of the creatures directly between you and Quince.

Is it a safe assumption that the fallen will stabilize unless the suffer like 15+ hp damage with whatever brings them down?

The fallen will possibly bleed out, if they are not either tended to or make a Con check to stabilize. Such a check is DC 10, so it is more likely than not that a healthy creature will make it, but it is no guarantee. Right now, your opponent is in no immediate danger of death.


Human Male uRogue 6 | HP 46/57 | AC19/T14/F15 | Saves F+4/R+9/W+3 | Perc +10/+14 hidden-secret | Init +4

Giving Rocko a chance to do his... thing.


Human Male uRogue 6 | HP 46/57 | AC19/T14/F15 | Saves F+4/R+9/W+3 | Perc +10/+14 hidden-secret | Init +4

Can Djack even get to the enemy?

Technically he can squeeze through the doorway where Rocko is standing (move through friendly square) and then step to either side of the creature; since he is trying to run away, he's not thinking about turning around to take an AOO.

You could also just shout a warning, or make some form of ranged attack. Or you could just let him go. Up to you.


Human Male uRogue 6 | HP 46/57 | AC19/T14/F15 | Saves F+4/R+9/W+3 | Perc +10/+14 hidden-secret | Init +4

Thanks!

Gotta love those damage dice... LOL.

Horse isn't tethered, for just this sort of thing. But, they're is that general concern of course.

Not the best sign for us, i've managed to blow through almost all my magical resources in this first combat encounter. How are looking Spizz?

I believe there are a few healing potions among the party, and you're not really on a timeframe for this particular mission. You can hole-up or return to Albarra (a few hours walk) as you choose.


Human Male uRogue 6 | HP 46/57 | AC19/T14/F15 | Saves F+4/R+9/W+3 | Perc +10/+14 hidden-secret | Init +4

Is there more raiding... ehem, I mean delving?

Up to the party. You have three unopened doors between the two rooms you've been in. You could assume those were the only dangerous creatures and go back to down with evidence you'd defeated the bandits. Or you could continue to explore the stronghold further.

The death of a someone young is already tragic, but I wonder how the views would shift for a species that would have large generational gaps like an elf.

Definitely an interesting question. I'd imagine some elven groups with lesser moral fortitude might view a very young creature of such an already short-lived species almost trivially, while others might view the shortening of such an already short life as an even worse crime.


Male Human Starving Artist 6, Cartographer 6, Babysitter 4

Left unsaid by Yoltzin, is that she had never actually witnessed such an execution during her life within said village.

I think despite her acclaimed barbaric practices, tribe would've been of the latter mindset. Perhaps why the punishment would be so extreme in the first place.


Human Male uRogue 6 | HP 46/57 | AC19/T14/F15 | Saves F+4/R+9/W+3 | Perc +10/+14 hidden-secret | Init +4

I'm new and Djack is wide eyed (not a bad thing).

Maybe if they are refugees or nomads we can help them adjust... they can work for us.

I think reparations (right word?) have been made in a sense. The perpetrator has been eliminated and two more died.

Unless you guys want a scorched earth, kill all the kinfolk, genocide type thing.

I see it as an opportunity to make allies, profit and collaborate.

What was the group's charter/mission or goal?

Current mission they were hired for was to stop bandit activity suspected as working out of this stronghold. It's a paid mission from the intendente of Albarra, the town they've been working out of, and where Rocko has lived for at least a few years.


Human Male uRogue 6 | HP 46/57 | AC19/T14/F15 | Saves F+4/R+9/W+3 | Perc +10/+14 hidden-secret | Init +4

Sometimes I think too much "sandbox" so if trying to get along with folks and make allies/friends isn't a thing... just tell me to bugger off OOC.

Or I may take your hints in-game as... oh, he's making it challenging. LOL.


Male Human Starving Artist 6, Cartographer 6, Babysitter 4

No response to her other comments by the cat things? Suppose they could be trying very hard to ignore her.

If memory serves we were supposed to get more info from the intendente. I don't think we ever did that. Did we go off a bit half cocked?

I think I just kind of glossed over that narratively. No, the mission was very much just come out in the area of the old stronghold and find whoever was doing the banditry and put a stop to it. You're working with the closest thing the wild areas have to legal authority.

Now, there was nothing about either investigating the rest of the stronghold or not. That said, if something else creeped out of the place and started causing mayhem, it might be kind of embarrassing.

EDIT: Yeah, checked back and we did, indeed, skip playing through that encounter, but the group had intended to go, and in fact the Intendente didn't have any more vital information other than the rough location of the stronghold, which I gave you out of character. Inject a scene like that in your head canon, if you like.


Male Human Starving Artist 6, Cartographer 6, Babysitter 4

I keep getting my elves mixed up. My own mistake giving them both Y names. Why did I do that? Mystery.

Re: treasure:

I'm keeping a running total at the top. This is party treasure. If anyone wants to claim any of the items found for their personal character (the ring, the scale armor, the oil) you can either do so in RP or you can decide here. I'll arbitrate any conflicts if necessary. Once I've officially given your character an item (you were the only one requesting it, or I arbitrated in your favor) write it down on your sheet and I'll remove it from the party list.


We might as well make use of the armour. I think Yoltzin, Rocko, and Elias are the only ones with medium armour proficiency.

Rocko, what armour are you wearing currently?

Since we're in the dungeon, Rocko is wearing his new breastplate armor. He has a 22AC with the shield, 20 without

Can I assume Yoltzin took the 10 +1 arrows? And also, does anyone want to carry the Oil of Magic Weapon?

dry flour you say?

I was imagining horizontal orientation ala particle accelerator. Lucerne?


Male Human (Polish Jew/Native American/Irish) Techie 7/Martial Artist 2

Psst. Rumor has it you guys are going to level up once the dungeon is complete; you've got low-single-digit rooms left, and then a combination of random chance and player choice will determine what happens from there.

Man, my attack score is god awful. I swear I've mostly only hit things via lucky crits alone.

Eh, not your focus. Clerics have a lot of hats. Your ranged is a bit better. And it's gonna go up by 1 soon. You'll do alright.


Male Human (Polish Jew/Native American/Irish) Techie 7/Martial Artist 2

You have the following unclaimed magic items:

cornucopia emblem ring (ring of sustenance)
coppery sphere (heals 1 hit point per hour when in possession)
oil of magic weapon

additionally as a reminder:
Rocko's axe is now enchanted +1/+2 vs. Vermin
Yoltzin has 10 +1 arrows


Human Male uRogue 6 | HP 46/57 | AC19/T14/F15 | Saves F+4/R+9/W+3 | Perc +10/+14 hidden-secret | Init +4

I'm letting the original group divvy up the loot... if in-character they feel that Djack currently could use the orb, that's cool.


Male Human Starving Artist 6, Cartographer 6, Babysitter 4

Woo, money and items! I'm not of the original group either, but I don't personally hold much interest in the other items provided.

The damage she took, is it temporary or permanent?

Uret Jet wrote:

Player knowledge here, but it will heal as normal Ability Score damage (ie 1 point per game day). It's only permanent if you get all the way turned to stone (ie no Dex left).

I only ask because I can pick up lesser restoration now, as a cleric. Good spell to prepare to vanish the stonyness

It would speed things up, and assuming you're sitting a couple days anyway before looking for more adventure, those downtown slots would just go away unused anyway.


Male Human (Polish Jew/Native American/Irish) Techie 7/Martial Artist 2

Please let me know of any magical or special purchases you wish to acquire with your lootz; I need to determine if it's available at Jules' General Store or if you would need to seek out traders/go to a larger settlement.
