The warpriest nodded in agreement with Ratel, ”Let’s deal with Avvakris.” He followed te paladin out the building.

"It sounds like Avvakris is in charge, if we cut the head off of the snake, so to speak, the rest should flee."

Sounding a little dubious Jim replied "It may not be that easy, but I agree we should investigate." He moved to follow.

No, he went into the villa across the way with his bodyguards.

Not getting a response from anyone, Ratel nods towards the villa. "Three men went across to the Villa from here earlier, Avvakris may be one of them. We should investigate."

Turning to 'Slim' "It sounds like Avvakris is in charge, if we cut the head off of the snake, so to speak, the rest should flee."

Not waiting to see who does what, Ratel heads out the door to the Villa, calling back. "Someone should probably stay back and deal with the prisoners."

Double move out the door, in case were still in init.

Tal takes the hint and ties up some prisoners.

"Gather round please

I use a channel to heal the party Channel: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 3) = 14
I assume channels don't get the Healer's Blessing like
a cure wounds does at my level?

Trying to see who else needs help.
Heal Check: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

"Please let me know if anyone needs more help."

'Ratel must be in a hurry, he didn't stay to let me see if he needed some curing help.

Only Iz was hurt

Felix smiles as he tallies the goods in his heads. Not bad a haul for just a few seconds.
Aiding with the knots Felix makes sure to pat down the prisoners to ensure no hidden blades.

We need to take our prisoners to the jail and have rufo watch and feed them until we can have a trial, kangaroo court style, paladin as circuit judge presiding. They can admit to all there crimes and be judged sentenced and likely hung or purified, save the soul not the body.

On the treasure, we usually all put a bid on a item and if there are multiple bids, we roll off. Gold and valuables are divided evenly with a extra share added for the general fund treasury. So money divided by 8, 8th share is a reserve fund for food, provisions, supplies for general party welfare. Some might call it tithing or a tax or a fee, but it's necessary.

I place a bid on the +2 Bastard Sword
rolling 1d20 (12)=12

So more than a little confused, I'm good with the kangaroo court, but we're talking about it OOC, would you like to yell out the door and tell Ratel?

Also, by bid are you saying you would like to have it, or are we actually bidding it off and the highest buyer wins? The first option I've played an lot and happy with, the second option confuses me.

Wanting to make sure the villa doesn't have a back door, Ratel begins to work his way around the wall, making sure Avvakris does not escape.

perception check for doors in the wall of the villa: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Reinvigorated by the cleric’s healing channel Iz-Dunbar stayed at the front entrance and called to the paladin, ”Hold a moment my friend.”

Waiving a hand at Iz-dubar, Ratel gestures towards his eyes, then towards the backside of the villa, and continues on his way.

Tal'ariel remembers to cast Mage Armor on herself. She passes on all the loot.

Knowing that there is safety in numbers the warpriest follow Ratel around the to the back of the villa.

I have the same question about the bid. Are we actually bidding coin or just saying you would like the item.

Edit: I have no interest in any of the items.

She is saying she would like the item. At our table top we would generally roll off on a d20 if more than one person wanted an item but y'all can decide on whatever manner you want on dividing the spoils

Rolling a 1, Ratel would miss a herd of elephants in the villa. (1) + 10 - 10=1. He missed so badly, he missed that the entrance gate is to the north on the east side. He went south.

LOL, I saw the door facing the inn, just going around to make sure there are no other entrances

I cast mage armor (7 hrs duration) every morning as part of spell prep, shield as needed throughout the day

who wants what here, put in your request bid/dibs/claim/hat in the ring

"Eh? No I don't need anything thanks." replied Jim. As the others discussed the loot, he suggested "We should keep moving, don't want to make it too say for the cult to strike back."

Who is going to carry all of this? Chainmail weighs 40 lbs. No one thought to get even a type I bag of holding maybe? I can just see Ciri and Felix trying to drag 200 lbs of treasure behind them, lol! Everyone needs to carry some of it or it will end up back in the hands of the Set worshippers. You can even give Rufo the longsword and a set of chainmail. He isn't proficient in either, but he might want to be trained as a fighter.

"Me watch prisoners. Gimme sword." says Rufo.

Continuing his track around the Villa Ratel wonders why the prefect hadn't sent word about the things going on here,

Brv, you said in R20 there are no more doors to the exterior of the villa, can Ratel proceed around the villa and learn that, or do I need to wait for something to happen on the way?

I think Tal has a haversack, I travel light, so I got magic.

You can travel around

Steps outside and looks for Ratel. "give Rufo a sword please.

having worked his way around the villa, Ratel see's the others taking the prisoners to the jailhouse. Seeing Ciri trying to carry one of the set's of armor. Shifting the bardiche to one hand, he takes the armor in the other. "Let me carry that for you princess."

New Edict, as the ruling authority, I hereby claim the land as part of my kingdom and rule a ban on the worship of Set in this kingdom. Any worshipper who refuse to renounce the worship of Set is subject to arrest and forfeiture all property to the custody of the kingdom.

I hereby appoint Ratel as Lord Marshall of The Mitra's Fist, and his deputies as Aide-de-camp.

"I figured we would just use "Ley del Fuega" on them

for those not familiar with it, translates as "law of the fugitive"

POINT IS THEY ARE OUTLAWS NOW AND WE HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO GET THEM.. SLIM can be adjutant general

Smiling Felix opens his bag of holding, it was the first item he ever bought after he got some nice shiny and puts the better enchanted chainmail and the amulet in it.
"I can carry those for you all. No worries. But the other stuff would weight me down."

Shrugging mentally at the notion of a court when a blade across the throat would be so much more sensible he hands Rufo the barely enchanted longsword and smiles to the others "Good to go!"

So rufo takes the +1 longsword and +1 Studded Leather

(Name)= who carrying

+2 chainmail +1 great sword (Jim)

+1 halberd ? (Thoron)

? chainmail w armor spikes, amulet of mighty fists +2 (Lucky) (it's better enchanted, just can't tell how much)

+2 bastard sword (Ciri)

+2 chainmail (Ratel)

+1 composite longbow, (Tal)

I'm not sure if Jim was in earshot of Ciri's declaration. Also we seem to have moved on the map? What is the current situation? Are we about to enter building V-5?

Yes

I'm ready to go

heading to the villa for the raid, sword ready, shield going

"I can carry the halberd, but I don't know how to use it. Maybe Iz can use it better than I can." Before we go charging in there does anyone need Freya's healing touch?

What's the penalty for untrained use of a weapon? I disremember and don't have the rulebook in front of me.

Taking a moment to remove his pack and roping the armor to it, Ratel looks at Thoron's Halberd, looking from his own bardiche to the magical weapon. "Thoron Sahib, if you are not able to use the halberd, I would use it instead of my cold iron bardiche." Tucking the bardiche in the scabbard attached to his pack, he reaches for the Halberd.

Tucking the bardiche in the scabbard attached to his pack

A bardiche is a polearm and thus would never fit into a scabbard.

The penalty is -4 Thoron, but Ratel was wanting to use the weapon.

Brv said to assume Thoron says 'yes'

Reaching out and accepting the weapon from Thoron, Ratel leans his bardiche up agains the wall. Testing the balance of the halberd he grunts, "Good weapon."

Peaking around the corner he looks at the double doors. Considering entering with both weapons in hand, he decides to leave the bardiche leaning against the wall, and going in with the halberd at the ready.

Looking back at the others, he encourages his companions, new and old. "These are the servants of Set, we must be ready for anything. Let me know when you're ready." That's secret code for get your buffs up!

Waiting till he gets a nod from everyone, Ratel moves around the corner and barges through the partially opened doors.

Tal'ariel casts another spell on herself, then nods in readiness to proceed. Casting See Invisibility, lasts 1 hour.

Jim took a deep breath, drew his sabre and nodded, "I'm as ready as I'll ever be."

"Certainly Ratel use it. I can't."
Hands weapon to Ratel.

"Hold on guys, let me help us all a bit. This is the last overall help I can give to the party."

cast prayer on the party (+1 to attack, weapon damage, saves, skill checks. Foes are at a -1 to all such rolls.)

"Anyone need any healing help as well?

Iz-dubar said a short prayer calling down Mitra’s blessing on his weapon. He then nodded to indicate that he was ready.

Holy Strike blessing for 1 minute on long sword.

Zireal, Spell Storing Bastard Sword ready casting my last shocking grasp into the sword and placing my wand of magic missiles in my wrist sheath (swift action to draw, standard to cast), cast bulls strength on myself = +11 Atk & Dam; AC 22, she nods to ratel, (prayer grants some of us +2 to attack damage saves and skill checks)

I HAVE ANOTHER BULLS STRENGTH FOR ANYONE IN REACH

I HAVE ANOTHER BULLS STRENGTH FOR ANYONE IN REACH

I'm your huckleberry

Making eye contact with the princess, Ratel moved closer, waiting to see what magics she had.

no stay there, I will move up to you

Move 15 ft to ratel and touch for bull strength
