Perrine wasn’t sure how to add much to this. She didn’t know the ins and outs of the submersible. So long as there was a place to nap, his story seemed plausible.

@GM: Did Gaius's Perception check reveal anything unusual?

Perrine wasn’t sure how to add much to this. She didn’t know the ins and outs of the submersible. So long as there was a place to nap, his story seemed plausible.

Since Perrine has Sense Motive she could ask if he saw/noticed anything unusual, etc. and see if Yuka is lying.

Patros studies the alchemist's words carefully.

sense motive, studied target: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 7 + 1 = 26

Daenerija looks around to see if anything interesting can be found.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Dare will try to have a look around as well. 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12 perception

Gaius notices a Bottle of Air on a workbench off to the side, but does not note anything suspicious about the submarine. It looks like a complex piece of machinery. As far as any of the pathfinders can tell, it seems like Yuka is being honest.

Do you want to ask Yuka anything else, or try to move on to a different location?

That work of yours might garner a high price...interesting design... Patros says, as he wanders around the "sub".

i'm good

@GM: Seems we won't learn anything here. What's the next closest location to investigate?

The adventure abstracted out travel times to avoid having to give relative locations for anything. Lets say Tsomo's office is the closest.

Not currently interested in purchasing a submarine and at a dead end for this lead, the pathfinders leave Yuka's residence. Tsomo's offices seem to be one of the closer options, so the pathfinders decide to head in that direaction. On leaving Yuka's workshop, everyone notices a Sahuagin leaning up against an alley, watching the group leave. That isn't in itself suspicious, as there are many Sahuagin employed in various capacities in Vialesk. However, there is something somewhat suspicious about him...

Could everyone update slide 2 of the powerpoint with your tokens and rolls?

Either we're being watched..or he's looking at hitting the shop...my coin is on the latter...Patros says quietly.

can someone add my token please? im on my tablet...ty

Ive got my info on the slides, but I need token help as well, please, if someone would be so kind. Thanks!

”Yeah, he looks like he might be up to no good. Should we go back and warn Yuka? I’d hate to see something bad happen that we could have warned him about!”

”Yeah, he looks like he might be up to no good. Should we go back and warn Yuka? I’d hate to see something bad happen that we could have warned him about!”

I added yours and Patros's tokens to the map. I don't see one for Doc's PC.

@GM: I added the information for Gaius on Slide 2. I apologize for forgetting to do so earlier; I don't know where my brain is these days.

"In case he isn't the leak it's the least we can do but we must not tarry. The longer we delay the more evidence can be destroyed and saboteurs can escape."

Perrine quickly scurries back to the shop. ”Yuka, I don’t know if you know this, but there is a really sketchy looking sahaugin loitering in an alley close by. Looks like he might be watching your shop. We wanted you to be warned in case he’s up to know good!”

Patros eyes the thug carefully in case he needs to intervene.

studying target...just in case this gets physical...

Yuka looks up in surprise as Perrine enters. "What!? Surely not. Why would anyone want to cause trouble here? I don't keep payments on site, and its not easy to steal one of the subs. I'm sure he has an excellent reason for being in that alley."

It is apparent he isn't taking the threat seriously. If you want, you can try to convince him to do so with a diplomacy check.

Outside, the thug has noticed that he's been seen, and is awkwardly looking away from the group and watching you out of the corner of one eye, while pretending you're not there.

Diplomacy 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Tack this into my last post please, GM.

"While it is theoretically possible he's just passing time waiting his friend, most likely he is planning something nefarious. Something that should concern you. At least thats what my friends concluded."

Diplomacy, untrained: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Gaius decides to see what the sahaugin is up to, "What brings you here?"

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32

Back to back 20s on skill checks - I'll never hit anything this scenario. :(

Dare will unsling his musket and cock the hammer. “Talk or get dead.”

Intimidation. 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

Patros move to back up Dare

Yuka "Oh, sure. I'll take it under advisement. Thank you for bringing it to my attention." You can tell he doesn't think this is a real problem and is feeling awkward about the situation.

Outside, the Sahuagin turns to Gaius as he is directly addressed. "Nothin. Can't a man just stand and mind his own business without being hassled?"

He growls at Dare's threat. "I don't have anything to say to you."

Gaius can tell he's definitely lying and extremely suspicious.

Dare smiles and ready an action to shoot the fish. “I know you don’t have much to say because that requires too much effort and brain power. So tell me, how do you like your fish served? Chopped, fried, or burned. I preferred blackened.”

”Alright…good luck and have a nice rest of your day,” Perrine tells Yuka before heading back to join the others.

”I don’t think he took me seriously…”

He growls at Dare's threat. "I don't have anything to say to you."

Gaius can tell he's definitely lying and extremely suspicious.

"Of course. I'll just stand here with you since the view is so pleasant."

Gaius also retrieves his longbow - for no particular reason.

To Patros and Dare he'll say, "He's lying through his serrated teeth." and chuckle.

Aye...a blind man can see he's lying... Patros says as he moves towards the thug.

Speak now...while you can... we won't ask again...

Dare chuckles. “Wow. Am I the only one who thinking it. He seems fishy.”

"That's it, I'm out. You're either the nosiest people I've ever met or Yuka got some protection. He should watch who he's dealing with."

With that, the Sahuagin tries to leave down the alley.

Patros tries to grab the sahuagin.CMB: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 1 = 20
+1 from studied target.

Not so fast, pal...

Patros grabs the Sahuagin, who lets out a squawk of surprise. He freezes, severely outnumbered. "What now?"

Perrine returns to the group, quite surprised at seeing the group’s members physically manhandling the skulky sahuagin. ”Uh, what are we doing here,” she asks the others.

this punk has information about who might be interested in Yuka...and he's is not co-operating...for now... Patros says menacingly.

i dont have intimidate, but i can aid a roll...

Gaius responds to Perrine, "We spotted this individual watching Yuka's shop and, when questioned, lied about why he's here. However he hasn't been forthcoming as to exactly why he *is* here.

@GM: Since we aren't in combat or threatened (that I know of) Gaius will take 10 on his Intimidate for a 16.

@Everyone else: Aids to Intimidate are greatly appreciated. :)

aid intimidate: 1d20 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) - 2 + 1 = 14unsure if my studied target bonus applies to the aid..but thought i'd add it if it does...if not disregard...

[dice=aid intimidate]1d20-2+1unsure if my studied target bonus applies to the aid..but thought i'd add it if it does...if not disregard...

It appears it does not: "The slayer then gains a +1 bonus on Bluff, Knowledge, Perception, Sense Motive, and Survival checks attempted against that opponent, and a +1 bonus on weapon attack and damage rolls against it."

yeah..wasnt sure...was busy and couldnt look it up..good thing i rolled high...

Dare will shoulder his musket. “Talk fish head.”1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 intimidation

Dare will shoulder his musket. “Talk fish head.”1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20 intimidation

I don’t know why that rolled twice

"I was sent to watch the place, see if Yuka leaves. I don't know nothin besides that, but I think he's upset someone serious."

"Now, last I checked, we still had laws here, like against grabbing people who don't want to be grabbed. I don't like dealing with the guards and am willing to just call this even. You got me, you know what I know. You going to let me go or are there going to be problems?"

Looking at Patros, "I think we've learned all we need to from him yes?"

Aye...get stepping...Patros says as he lets the thug go and motions with his head to vacate the area pronto.

“Toss the little fish to catch a bigger fish.” Dare said lowering his musket.

The Sahuagin hurridly leaves, leaving the Pathfinders standing in the alley outside Yuka's shop.

What would you like to do now? Continue to Tsomo's office or try anything else with Yuka?

I suppose we should go back in and tell Yuka what we learned. @GM: Would we get another chance at a Diplomacy roll with the sahaugin's information or no?

I would say yes, you can go ahead and try to persuade him again.

Perrine tries yet again with Yuka, hoping she would take him seriously this time.

Diplomacy 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Daenerija explains how the situation outside with Sahuagin went.

Diplomacy aid: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

You might want to beef up your security, Yuka...or don't...it's your hide they're after...not mine... Patros says as he watches the door.

diplo aid: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (19) - 2 = 17

Huh the system ate my post. Gaius rolled a natural 1 on his Aid attempt lol.
