STRANGE AEONS (Inactive)

Game Master Daniel Penfold 351

I'm fine going to the fort we should just find a reason to come back.

Well, my assumption was that it would be best to go to the manor after the fort. Judging by the interrogation, the cult leader is at the manor, which seems to indicate that it is inherently a harder target, and the fact that there was just a major security breach at the house of a presumably major lord means that getting back in would be hard till some time has passed. Regardless, I got no issue with going to the manor now, if only to see what the situation there is. I just wouldn’t expect it to be any easier this time around, all things considered

Anywhere were go under leveled and fight two combats at the same time will be hard. They make a cr +4 ish combat. We should be ok either place with he additional level if we are a bit more careful and focus fire. Action economy is really important in combats where we are out numbered. But we have an animal companion to help now.

"On the other hand our target seems to be at the fort."

Senn looks at the rest of the group.

Nappies would be a good idea as well.

The manor has taken a big hit by us and is going to be on high alert anyway. If we have to go in, let's do it after we patch ourselves up.

Naps, healing and leveling have happened

”Trevor does make a good point. I doubt the manor has replaced the crew we’ve just taken out. In one day, it won’t be at full strength. If we wait longer, it will be. I vote Class out the manor one more time. If things look too protected, we can move on to the fort first...”

You head back to the manor, the gate is once again closed.

Senn will send her familair up to check the grounds if they seem clear the familair will check the windows etc.

Penith has stayed quiet, not wanting to know what they did with the man that tried to kill him.

What time of day is it?

We'll probably have to break down the doors unless we climb over.

Good questions. Given her knowledge of engineering could Penith figure out whether the gate could be picked or whether it will be required to break down. From a distance or with memory that is.

knowledge engineering: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Domeric casts detect magic and scans the area for anything unpleasant.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Penith, you think that the lock can be picked. Domeric you see that there is a trap on the door. Senn your familiar sees that the grounds appear quiet and empty.

"It would appear, that we were expected after all," Domeric said quietly, "The door is trapped, I expect someone more skilled than I am at such things will need to disable it."

Are we able to determine the nature of the trap?

I can try climbing up to let down a rope so we can bypass the trap.

disarm device using telekinetic finesse 30 feet away to disable the trap: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31
disarm device using telekinetic finesse 30 feet away to pick the lock: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17

Once everyone is ready, Penith will have her lock picks hover out of her pocket and try to take care of things

Senn will cast detect magic at the door. She will also instruct the little feathered Dino to stand in front of her.

Penith, you are able to disarm the trap easily, it looks as if it was designed to fire out a poison needle if tampered with. Senn you do not find anything magical in here.

Domeric draws his starknives.

"Once more into the breach then?"

"Let's do this then."

Where are you heading to?

"He ran to that small build E3 so there are likely threats to deal with there."

Senn's bird will check the windows of E3.

The Inquisitor casts Divine Favor as the group enters the fort again.

Trevor marches in and hefts his hammer.

Penith stays behind the others and follows wearily, looking into bushes and behind them, hoping the bad guys (or the good guys, she is still uncertain which they are) didn't have the same idea about an ambush, and is trying to get them trapped inside.

This well appointed lounge includes a brick fireplace, a mahogany table with three matching chairs, and an antique sideboard near the foot of the stairs. Inside the room are an aristocratic couple who appear to be chatting to each other.

"Do you recognize us? We were hired for a job and we are looking for the boss."

Senn says, "Get ready in case this goes south. They will likely attack on sight."

Then she cracks the door.

"Do you recognize us? We were hired for a job and we are looking for the boss."

I think they are well aware we are the cause of the mess outside. Trevor whispers to the others.

The door opens and a finely dressed aristocratic woman stands there

Oh, hello, please come in. Who are you? I'm afraid we are new to the region, we are waiting to meet with Melisenn. She has an investment opportunity for us. But please come in and refresh yourselves.

Sense Motive 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31

Atajay tried to figure out what was happenening in the scene in front of him.

Atajay, you realise that they know more than they are saying, in fact it looks as if the female aristocrat is starting to try and cast a spell.

”She’s casting a spell! Get her,” he calls out, watching the situation devolve yet again.

Senn will send the raptor toward the caster.
"Attack."

Penith sighs softly before mentally throwing a bookcase at the woman.

WAGGHHHH!!!!!

The bookcase falls forward striking the woman, knocking her out instantly.

[ooc]We need to go to initiative at this point[/i]

Trevor initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Penith initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Senn initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Atajay initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Domeric initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Asa initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

[ooc]Ok so initiative order is

Block 1: Atajay, Penith + Trevor

Block 2: Asa

Block 3: Domeric and Senn

I'm assuming you have all gone inside

Atajay pulls an arrow and fires it at the woman.

Attack with Divine Favor and PBS 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 1 + 1 = 24

Damage with PBS and Divine Favor 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 1 = 8

Bookcase at the woman please, the haul does let her thrown 100 pounds per kineticist level, but it does't do any additional damage, just cooler effect really.

attack kinetic blast, pbs with precise shot: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 7 + 1 = 17
damage kinetic blast, pbs: 2d6 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (3, 5) + 6 + 1 = 15

Trevor steps up and strikes at the man
Hammer,PA: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 152d6 + 10 ⇒ (3, 2) + 10 = 15

Trevor, the man dodges out of the way

Atajay and Penith, do you want to rethink your actions as the woman is already unconscious

Thank you sir, I missed that completely, just thinking that post was the initiative round. Do the same to the man I guess, though he hasn't done any offensive actions yet, he would once Trevor hits him. A vase or something less prone to hit Trevor instead.

Direct my Attack at the next closest enemy, please.

Apologies, Trevor hits

A vase flies across the room and hits the man between the eyes. Atajay's blow finishes him off.

Loot:

Potion of cure moderate wounds
Potion of invisibility
Mithral shirt
m/w dagger
thieves' tools
gold necklace and bracelet worth 350gp
wand of scorching ray (13 charges)
m/w dagger
amulet of natural armour +1
Ring of protection +1
pearl earrings worth 200gp
A trunk key

Alright! Some good loot there. Everyone make a claim for something.

I'd like the healing potion if no one objects

”I could put that mithral chain shirt to good use, unless one of you blokes up front would get more use out of it...”

I'm happy to add some ac to the new raptor. But pcs come first.
