I'll let you move back

Bee terrorizes the ruffian with Pink hair before raising his buckler.

He's flat-footed and frightened, so maybe that hits?

Then Bitty darts back towards Bee, to let the bandits come to her.

◈ Stride

Bitty charges forward, intent on punishing the ruffians who ambushed them. Unfortunately, she misses another pit trap at the end of the road. The ground suddenly gives way beneath her feet and she drops into the pit with a loud "EEP!"

Bitty Ref, Grab an Edge: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

Moved you back to where the trap is. Would you like the hero point the Nat 1? :)

"Found another Pit Trap!"

Did Bitty fall in?

Bitty barely manages to grab the edge of the pit before dropping in. She's currently hanging 5' down while holding on for dear life.

Bee watches shocked as Bitty runs afoul of another pit trap. He glares at the ruffian again. "Now that's not very nice. If you wanted to fight me I'm up for that. But this isn't how you go about it. You should instead have your agent talk to my agent, set up a ring, gather a crowd, and get some referees to make sure that it is a fair fight where no one actually gets hurt."

"But apparently you don't want a fair fight where no one actually gets hurt." He stares the man down. "Fine."

The pink-haired bandit only sneers at Bee.

Athletics 2nd Attempt: 1d20 + 3 - 5 ⇒ (11) + 3 - 5 = 9

Looks like Bitty's hanging out on the edge of the pit.

"Just you wait until I get you! Leaving pits where innocent dinosaurs and other people might get hurt by them!"

GM did you roll for Bitty's perception on this trap? For future reference, she does have Trap Finder.

Bitty attempts to climb out of the pit but doesn't quite succeed. A bandit sitting on the balcony of a nearby house sees Bitty trying to climb out of the trap. He sends two sling bullets at the helpless gnome.

Yes. You barely missed the DC.

I told you, I told you, I told. But you didn't want to hear me, you didn't want to hear me, you didn't want to hear me. No no no.

The Shisk moves on the terrace and casts a spell (Distortion lens) setting a lens in front of him.

Wiston .... Stop! ... You are under ...arrest!

As for you ... prepare to be ... exterminated

Had a feeling something like this was going to happen

"Dar is right, mostly. I'll knock some sense into these thugs! I'd rather take them to the watch than kill them!"

I guess the paranoid ones were right. I thought Winston needed help. Shame.

Rinshu drops a lens in front of him, the thugs all wonder what that is for. Red sees Bitty try to climb out of the pit and runs over, dropping his sling and pulling a war razor.

"Oh no ya don't!

War Razor Attack vs Bitty Blue AC 17, FF: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Shaking off a bit of the fear from Bee's hostile glare, he also drops his sling and runs at the group, drawing his War Razor and slashing at 1-Bitty 2-Bee: 1d2 ⇒ 1

Pink War Razor Attack vs Bitty Blue AC 17, FF: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

"Oy! Boss! Help us out here!"

A ruffian wearing a bit more bling, clearly the leader, also drops his sling, pulls out his war razor and runs in to flank the precariously hanging gnome, slashing at her.

Casting his aiding sigil, Ashun empowers Bitty Blue, covering her hands with a glyph like tattoo to try to help her, "Bitty, any wounds?" His other hand points towards bling bling boy Anne quickly draw a circle with an arrow and stars inside, pulsing it trying to flinch the leader. "Stop. You will not get anything out of this."

Watching the bandits attack Bitty with their blade, Cath bites back on her previous words. Stepping forward, the woman draws her bastard sword and grips the familiar hilt with both hands, "Ganging up on her wasn't a smart thing to do." Eyes, focused on the nearest enemy, she swings with practiced motion.

"Eep! Eeep! Eep!" Bitty hangs on to her ledge for dear life, dodging three razor blades and wishing that she had her dragon wings already.

"The guy on the roof got me with his sling, but otherwise I've been okay. You know, just hanging out..."

"Hang on, Bitty. We'll get you out of there in a bit. Gotta deal with these unfair cheating thugs first."

Cath, you need 1 extra action to place your other hand on your sword. Also, your exploration activity is 'Defend', which causes your shield to be raised at the start of combat. You can't wield your sword 2-handed unless you drop your shield

Cath Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Cath steps forward, draws her sword and slashes the Gang leader. He yelps and rages. "OY! My vest is expensive. You'll pay for putting a slice in it!"

A black ruffian at the corner of the "Parents House" raises his sling. He sends a bullet to 1-Bitty Blue 2-Bee: 2d2 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3

"Gah!" The crit hurts Bitty deeply, and she's filled with rage. That shot could have hit Egg!

Clear your mind, little one. As Bitty is hanging on for dear life, she remembers the words of Grandfather Ifukube. My child, you are made from clouds. You are made from air. Someday, you will leap and the wind will catch you and you will fly. Until then, keep leaping. How else will a hatchling learn?

She takes a deep breath and shouts. "I am a dragon, I am made of wind and cloud, and I will claw my way to freedom!"

Athletics + Guidance: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 3 + 1 = 16
Untrained Intimidate: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

As bedraggled as she is, her roar's fairly unimpressive. Still, with a rush of wind and the helpful magic of Ashun, Bitty clambers up the pit wall. She darts behind the protective bulk of Bee, and right next to Ashun and his friendly dinosaur. And then she says, "They prey upon good-hearted strangers, and nearly smashed Egg. Cut them down!"

◈ Climb

Sling Attack vs Bee AC 20, MAP: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Bee winces in sympathy as Bitty gets clocked with a sling bullet. He brings his buckler around as another one heads towards him. "Ping!" he says as the ball deflects off his buckler and goes wide.

Flavor, not shield block - which I don't even have.

"They prey upon good-hearted strangers, and nearly smashed Egg. Cut them down!"

"Yes, ma'am."

Bee lashes out with a vicious stab before he even finishes his comment to Bitty. Then he swats at the guy's razor with his buckler. "Ping!" he says again as he knocks the blade around a bit. "Ping! Hehe." he says as he does it again. "Ping!" he says one more time while he stabs his sword towards the man's liver.

I'll Hero Point that feint check.

Bitty manages to climb out of the pit. She yells at the ruffians, who laugh and respond (said with a cockney accent) "And wot will ya do lassie? Float around until we fall flat on our backs dying with laughter?"

As Bitty retreats towards Bee, Bee leaps into action. He plunges his sword into Pink's eye and kills him instantly (Crit). He feints high but really strikes at Orange's liver. Orange is left cross-eyed and doesn't react until the blade enters his liver, killing him.

Dar Lek steps forward and fires twice at Blue.

Gritting her teeth at the slash, Cath raises her shield before retaliating against the bandit who had slashed at her. With all her might, she swings her blade in an upward swing, "Now you have my full attention! Stay behind me and heal up friends!"

◆ Raise Shield

Cath steps up, sets her shield and removes Red's head.

At the sight of his last companion being casually slain, Black's nerve breaks and he makes a run for it, calling, "Nice knowin' 'ya Wis! I suggest you scram as well before this lot gets ya!"

Upon hearing this, Wiston also bolts from his hidey hole with a scream. But his knees turn to water at the sight of the carnage and you're able to run him down with little problems.

"Okay. OKAY! I confess! There is no orphanage. This was all a setup with the Bloody Barbers to get some coin. We had no idea you would be this formidable!"

As Wiston confesses, members of the City Guard arrive. Seeing the gore and bodies, they immediately demand to know what's going on.

Go ahead and tell the nice watchmen your story :)

Ashun looks a bit befuddled, "Orphanage? I think you misremembered your con, this time it was about your parents needing money.", and he sighs to the man, disappointed in him.
Then turns around to see the watch coming over, and calmly explaining what happened, "Good evening sirs, Winston here asked us for help, but he and the Bloody Barbers ambushed us to down us and take our belongings. We asked them to stop, but they were keen on attacking us, forcing ourselves to retaliate in self-defence.", his accent and soft-spoken mannerisms making it clear he's not from Absalom, and he bows in respect, showing that he's being sincere. He looks towards the man on his knees and then back towards the guards, "I am willing, and I am sure Winston is too, to cooperate if any further explanation is required."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21

edit: I guess I forgot diplomacy?

At the sight of his last companion being casually slain, Black's nerve breaks and he makes a run for it,

Seeing the last of their enemies fleeing, Bee takes a quick look around just to check that no new problems have arrived. Seeing nothing but town constables, he breathes a long shaky sigh and leans against the wall of the building he is standing next to. He looks at his sword and considers putting it in its sheath still covered in blood, but decides that it would be too much work to clean the scabbard later if he did that. He slowly slides down the wall of the building and ends up sitting in the cobblestone street - his sword lain haphazardly next to him and he rests his head on his arms crossed over his knees. "Ooowwwwww," he moans quietly.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

"Wiston told us his parents needed help and then he tried to lead us into some pits!" Bitty looks indignant, draconic tail curled up high. "I spotted one, then fell into the other, and then all of his cowardly bully boys tried to cut me with razors -- they missed -- and hit me with sling shots, which hit!"

Then Bitty says, "And they nearly cracked Egg! If it weren't for my friends here, Egg and I would been no more than broken shells and goo. You can't let that gang keep doing this to good hearted people and dinosaurs. It's not right!"

Then Bitty sees Bee leaning against the wall, and she turns away from the constables. "Bee! Bee! Are you alright?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

Cleaning her blade before sheathing it, Cath looks at Winston with a look of scorn before speaking towards the watchmen, "To be honest, I felt the story Winston here was somewhat truthful, which was why I agreed to help him. He was asking multiple people at the Rabbled Rouser, so there would be plenty of witnesses." Sighing and shaking her head, Cath gestures towards Bitty and the bodies of the bandits on the ground, "We had followed Winston, and my good friend Bitty unfortunately fell into a trap these "Bloody Barbers" set up," now pointing towards the pit trap in the alley while continuing. "They were focused on her while she struggled to hang on to the ledge, attacking with blades. The rest of us came to her defense, which led to the deaths of these fools."

Grabbing her arm, she winces before moving towards Bee, "You okay there? You fought well, but perhaps you should be a tad less," she chortles before smiling at the gnome, "flamboyant."

"Bee! Bee! Are you alright?"

Bee looks up and smiles a bit at the young Gnome. "To be honest ... not really." He pulls at a bit of his white streaked hair. "You know what this means better than most anyone else here. But I don't think any of us really know what it means until it starts happening."

"I'm just tired. But not because I didn't sleep. I'm exhausted, but not because I worked and fought too hard. And I hurt, but not because I got stabbed. And that doesn't even make any sense to me."

"I just need a minute to gather myself together again." He chuckles a bit. "This is the main reason I stopped fighting for pay. No one wants to see an old Gnome fight. Half the crowd would leave once they saw me getting ready. When I won people would think the fight was rigged. When I lost people would get mad at my opponent for beating up on me. At least being a Pathfinder I don't have anyone boo'ing me when I win a match."

Bee reaches out and picks up his sword again and starts cleaning it off. He smiles back up at Bitty again. "Really, I'll be fine. I'm not dead yet and I don't intend to live as though I am."

Bitty touches the white streak in shock, and then bites her lip. "Wait a minute! Oh no no no no!"

Then she decides to be very bold and she grabs Bee's hand. "Grandma Beryl says there's one treatment for the Bleaching, and that is new sensations, new journeys, new adventure. A life of danger is a fine one for any gnome, but too much of any one thing, even fighting, can be bad for you. So we're going to do different stuff together. Go different places together. And you are going to get better!"

"You are going to be around when Egg hatches. Do you hear me, Bee?" She pokes a finger into Bee's chest. "I don't make friends easily. So the ones I have are extra important!"

Bee's smile gets quite a bit wider as he lets Bitty pull him back to his feet. He finishes cleaning his sword and puts it away. "I know. I'm working on it. Maybe things will get better - and I'm glad to have friends with me for it."

"You are going to be around when Egg hatches. Do you hear me, Bee?" She pokes a finger into Bee's chest. "I don't make friends easily. So the ones I have are extra important!"

"Yes, ma'am," Bee says with as straight of a face as he can manage.

Wiston blubbers and confesses his role in the scam. The leader of the city guardsmen looks at you thoughtfully.

"We did receive many reports of people getting ambushed in this area. That's why I decided to investigate this myself. I'll take this one into custody. Please follow me back to the station to give your statements and perhaps receive a small reward from us."

You all troop back to the guard station and give your statements. After Wiston is booked in, the guard captain agrees to give you a small reward of 4gp for defeating this band of robbers.

End of Bounty 16

You return from your experience in the slums of Absalom, you decide to check in to the Grand Lodge for messages and whatnot. You see the following notice posted on the message board:

"I need some agents to travel with me to the Shackles on an important mission that will affect the future of the Society in western Garund. I need people who aren't well-known as being Pathfinders, so you'll do. Meet me at the Glorious Payoff as soon as you can.
It is signed "Capt. Calisro Benarry" and has note of which pier the ship is docked at."

You know the drill :)

Dar Lek also gives the guards his story as well as putting Wiston in cuffs.

You ... are ... under arrest ... you have ... the right to remain silent .. ((etc))

To the guards:

Take ... him away ... officers

After reading the message, he wanders off to the pier.

We told them the guy wasn't clear. We told them, but they haven't listened to us. No no no.

The Shisk is still moved by what occurred when he reads the missive from Calisro Benarry.

Let's hope they will listen to us this time. Oh yes yes yes.

He goes to meet the venture-captain as requested.

After giving the statements to the guards, on our way back to the lodge, the changeling makes a comment based on what happened earlier. "That was a very proficiently clean cut, Cath, it was impressive indeed.", looking then to Corabee, "And I do not think you are that old, Bee. It is always a fun show to watch you fight. But if the age bothers you, I recall myths and legends about a rejuvenation potion, may take a while, but being an alchemist I may be able to find its formula and recreate it if you would like to try it out." and gives a smile to the flashy gnome, then looking towards the shisk, "Also, Rinshu, I believe I owe you a beer. Next time we stop, consider it paid." and nods to him with an arcing brow, as if saying "You were right.".

And then, reading the notice, the guy who medicates turns to the rest of the party, "Well, I believe this one may take a while longer than our last two adventures. Perhaps buying something before we leave might be a good idea.", and right after Ashun is done with his preparations, he leaves with the others towards the Glorious Payoff.

Bee makes his way to the guard station with the others. His report is fairly simple.

"I think the others have described things quite well. The only thing I would add is that they fought in a most unprofessional and unfair manner. You can see the pits that they dug in the streets to trap people - and then when someone fell in, they would attack that person almost exclusively."

then to Corabee, "And I do not think you are that old, Bee. It is always a fun show to watch you fight."

"Thanks. I'm actually only in my early one hundreds. Really too young to be going white already. But sure, I'm up for trying whatever you think might help."

-----

Reading through the note, Bee grins widely. "Ooooh, an undercover mission. I am not going to miss out on that." He follows after the others to meet the ship.

Bee makes his way to the pier mentioned in the note. He waits for the others to arrive as well, then approaches one of the dock workers around the ship. "Hey, do you know where we could find Capt. Benarry or one of the other officers of the Glorious Payoff?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

"Pathfinders!" Bitty claps. "That's the ticket! We can become Pathfinders, and you'll have endless variety, Bee."

Bitty will pick up a healing potion. Also, because this is a Quest and not a Bounty, does this mean we can get school consumables for this mission?

Endless variety, endless variety, it's quickly said. the first time they called me, I've been involved in a chase in the middle of Absalom to end in a tavern...

The Shisk leans on his spear.
