[ACO] PF2e - Q23: Lacking Respect (P1) (Inactive)

Game Master UncleFroggy

Milo's eyes narrow as he considers the situation. He carefully rolls his head, cracking his neck and takes a deep breath. "Okay. Let's do this. Back me up."

He strides purposely towards the goblins, slams his hands on the table and glares sternly, his voice oddly low and menacing. "That's quite enough of that. Did you honestly think Queen Annastasia incapable of dealing with common bandits? Release that man at once and perhaps you can avoid serious consequences." He looks around at the stolen goods. "And pack these items back up while your at it."

Glinda follows along behind, trying to give the impression of being a powerful Jadwega

What he said or face the consequences she says sternly. Unfortunately intimidation is not in her skill set.

Moonshadow looms shortily near the others, fixing the goblins with a piercing stare.

Intimidating Glare

Intimidation: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

As soon as the party announce their presence, the goblins jump up and attack.

White pulls out a bow and moves to shoot Namre

Cast athletic rush, Interact, Raise Shield

Glinda softly sings.
They're being attacked by a Moonshadow. Mooonshadow, Moonshadow

Moonshadow - sorry, couldn't resist

And of course, they do the stupid

Milo shakes his head. "Why do they always choose the hard way?"

Milo moves up and grabs the archer in a chokehold. He then attempts to smash the goblin's oversized head on his knee.

Milo grabs White by the throat and tries to smack him with a knee. Unfortunately, the squirming creature manages to avoid the strike.

Moonshadow charges in and raises his shield.

Sebastian moves up and tosses sand a Pink and Yellow. Both goblins fall over and begin to snore...

Red moves up and attempts to sweep Moonshadow's feet out from under him.

With a yelp, Moonshadow drops to the floor. Red then tries to slice him open...

White attempts to break free.

Sebastian concentrates and gives White a splitting headache. Moonshadow gets up and tries to scare Red but the gobbo only laughs at him. Milo has more success as he kicks Red's feet out from under it.

Red gets up and tries to return the favor.

Moonshadow tries to grab Red but it slips out of his fingers. Sebastian tries stabbing White but it also proves too quick. Finally, Milo distracts White, who follows Milo's distraction, and gets slugged for his trouble. White tips over backwards, out cold...

Red screeches. It steps back and lashes out at Moonshadow.

Moonshadow moves up to Red and knocks the goblin out with a pair of punches.

COMBAT OVER

You find that the exhausted and injured prisoner chained to the wall in the corner of the room. He's weak but stable.

"You have my thanks. I am Mikoceer. My brother, Pytrdir, and I joined Foroxicks’s crew, hoping to earn some quick gold. Unhappy with Foroxicks’s cruel leadership style, Pytrdir foolishly challenged the warg for control of the bandit operation. Foroxicks quickly and violently beat us both when I came to my brother’s aid during the fight. Days later, I awoke chained to the wall in this room, unaware of his brother’s fate. I can't accompany you upstairs but I would request that you locate my brother. I would rather pay for my crimes than stay on Foroxicks’s crew."

You also find a key sitting on the table. Near Mikoceer is a flight of stairs leading up.

Glinda collects the key in order to unlock Mikoceer's chains - assuming the key fits.

I would recommend you do so and I will attempt to find and reunite you with your brother.

You notice that Mikoceer is extremely weak from the torture he received at the hands of the goblins and is unlikely that he will be helpful to the party.

Namre tries to open the chains with the key.

Moonshadow reaches into one of his many pouches, and pulls out a waterskin for Mikoceer.

Hmm...Be still friend. You've had a rough time of it." Milo examines Mikoceer and provides some quick treatment.

battle medicine: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Despite the party's efforts to persuade him, Mikoceer is extremely reluctant to accompany them upstairs. "I will only slow you down. Please. I don't want to face the wrath of Foroxicks and his band."

”Sit tight”, Moonshadow rasps. ”We’ll find your brother…or die trying”

He heads for the stairs.

The noble man moves towards the stairs as well.

His motto is: "Our blood dyed the banners of Golarion."

Glinda follows them.

Milo nods and joins the group.

You head upstairs.

The sound of rattling doors and howling wind accompanies a frigid breeze blowing in through the open door to the east. Rusty manacles embedded along each wall clank like foreboding wind chimes with each gust.

Threadbare tapestries are spread over the frost-covered walls and floor, highlighting the neglect of this once austere chamber. The tapestries contain discolored crests of ancient noble houses of Irrisen. Along the southern wall, a raised dais holds an ornately carved desk, stacks of paper and cracked leather journals spread along its top. The dais is 5 feet tall.
(greater cover for anyone using the Take Cover or Hide actions)

A portrait of a stately pale woman wearing a crown of ice watches over the hall with a look of haughty arrogance.

You also hear a voice... "And who might you be and what are you doing here?"
