I am glad I didn't offend you, sir. That was never my intention. It is much harder being evil but not being able to show it.
Thank you for the clarification, And also that you stated you intent to leave instead of disappearing like so many seem to do on the boards. So... I apologize for my early morning snark. Coffee before posting is good idea.
I'm good with continuing and a higher post rate, but also happy to just post on occasion. People have lives and sometimes the day drags you down. Bye Khor, while I respect anyone's desire to leave a game, I do not think it is stylish :) to do so with an insult. I wish you all the best. So GM, what do you want to do?
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!
"Yes, let's get out of here." once the treasure is secure and out of course.
Adelina will climb down as well. Too greedy to let someone else do all the discovering, in case of stealthy pocketing.
"Yes." Adelina encourages, having grown at least semi comfortable with Khor's appetites... as long as they were not directed at her. "Hopefully with a full purse as well." she adds unnecessarily.
"It collapsed into something. As we've seen, plenty of these buildings seem to have hidden shelters under them, where our lovely citizens like to hide their prized possessions... or it could just be filled with spiders and old wine. Who knows. Worth a cursory look at least." Adelina will look for a way down.
"A chance to do 'good', Mr. Mash." she points out, with a smirk.
Adelina's ears twitch at 'valuables'. So she agrees the idea has merit. Plus it gives Khor some much needed venting of hostilities. She has been quite impressed he's keep his eating habits and violence quiet this last month. The half elf had expected to spend half her time arranging for evidence removal or pointing the finger at the dottari, but nothing. "Fine." she sighs, putting up her reading glasses, and wiping her hands free of stray ink. "These documents will wait until later. Khor, do you know where Johnny is?"
"Check them out? For what?" Adelina asked. She's found herself a proper desk and writing notes for this person and that person, orders to do this, suggestions to that, so on and so forth. All vague enough they hopefully won't mean anything to anyone other than the person receiving it.
So from rank 1 to 4 we get an extra skill point, a potion 300gp or less, and a feat chosen from persuasive, deceitful, alertness, or stealthy. Correct? If so Adelina will pick deceitful, add the point to intimidation, and a potion of cat's grace.
Excellent! I agree continuing another round would be nice, since it will most likely bump us to 4. Sneaks are of course Adelina's preference. Though freedom fighters are good fodder being idealists and all :)
What needs to be done for a proper record of our rebellion group?
Adelina gave all her money to Johnny so is left only with the generous salary provided by her employer :(
Free?!?! She's earning her keep with her excellent bookkeeping skills and penmanship, thank you very much. She might MIGHT! even bring you a cup of tea now and again (occasionally without foreign substances added even) Since Adelina wouldn't give it, she officially uses her earnings to pay off a debt or two that will end up with a broken leg or face if she doesn't deal with them. While Johnny could explain the extra with taking his earnings and doubling it in a wise but short lived business venture... or mugging a old rich person for that exact amount on the way home. Whatever works. Also as Historian of the Rebellion, Adelina grants a +2 Organization check to be assigned where during the upkeep phase.
While Adelina herself would never in a million years offer her share of the spoils to another, since she is magic item rich from the previous loot and Johnny got nothing, you can have her six hundred twenty-three gold pieces, and seven silver pieces... but not the five copper.
Okay updated the list. Johnny, do you want anything? If not we can use the money we get from selling the stuff to upgrade your gear. With the remainder going to our 'rebellion'. If all agree that is. Okay, so hand crossbow, and leather armor +1 for Imperia
Potions of cure light wounds (2) one for each fighter

Okay, went back a bit and gathered as much as I could find, though I likely missed something. Adelina currently has the daredevil boots. If no one else wants it she'd happily take the cloak of elvenkind, but I do not in any way want to hog magic items. Not so oddly, a smugglers den seems to have a lot of magic items that apply to rouges. The silver morning star would be good to keep hold of in case of devils again, if anyone has marital prof. The playing cards the tengu use for her game consist of a harrow deck.
Did we ever identify the "one of the gnawed “blankets” is magic
"Merchants are a good asset." Adelina points out as she works on the rebellion's records. "They are allowed everywhere, are told gossip by the wagon loads, and make us money. The fact that they prattle on to no end and are mostly willing to sell you for a shoe shine is just the price of business..." looking up and adjusting her reading spectacles, she remembers to add the required "Mam" But on to the subject of the acquanitances, noting the way the other way says it, she'll sigh, heavily "Yes, I'll go out to engage them in pleasant conversation once this ledger is finishes." pleasant conversation is her way of saying 'stab enough of them repeatedly until they start to f#~$ing listen.' An important alternate phrase to use around the good folk of their operation.
We have loot, do we not? The ledger said it was worth 400gp alone. We can sell it and the other things to either put more into the rebellion or to get a masterwork weapon for one of our warriors. Adelina would love minions (a spy team), she'll give them horrible code names like wobbly joe, and peavous the perilous. Cause that is important for spies.
"The gutters are usually the best places to start for eyes and ears. No loyalty to the governance, and willing to sell any secret for coin. It would be nice to create loyalty of our own on those levels, but to start money is enough." Adelina suggests. "I know those places well so I should be fine, but you are always welcome Khor." later: "The tale as old as time really. If you can't gut the one you want, get someone else to gut them for you, and either way gut whoever wins. As long as they are sufficiently beaten down at least." the half elf thinks as she talks "I can start looking around for strong enough but with a leader that can use their brains enough to see the profit in bowing down." stopping her thoughts, she'll nod, black pony tail bobbing as she does "Yes, I believe that would work. And if it doesn't, we have a set of patsies for the slaughter."
Before Johnny and Khor head out, Adelina will retrieve two of the silver ravens for them. "If what Rexus says is true, these will allow us to remain in communication should anything untold or at least interesting happen. Or when we figure out the next way to... help... the city." she says with her wry smile.
Adelina considers for a bit. This route they have all stumbled on does seem potentially profitable, and in any situation, being the one in charge is like painting a large target on oneself. Deciding the half elf gives a proper bow, "Of course, my lady. We can discuss my salary later."
"It appears from his notes..." producing the ledger they found, adjusting her glasses as she looks to be reading while speaking, "... that they were unexpectedly stuck here due to the lockdown after he took on the job to smuggle them here. I'd assume the wait raised tensions, which lead to the violence."
She does not add the sorry for the loss, because adding in an attempt of caring is so much harder to fake than simply throwing out facts and nudging toward the lie. She is also not wearing the gross alligator gut boots at the moment, they are in the backpack wrapped up tight as possible to keep the stink in until they can be cleaned.
Adeilina shurgs, "Never hurts to look a bit..."
Adelina sheathes her dagger, "We are now officially fishermen." she says dryly. "Is the other boot in there?"
Too structured? I hear that about the tour packages, must be here at this time, this amount of minutes her, so on.
More important than killing crocodiles (or following orders), did you enjoy Italy?!?
When it is Adelina's turn, she'll do as suggested, since it makes sense NOT because it was an order. Flanking if possible while pointing out how the creature leads with its snout leaving itself open for a solid wack at the right time.
[oooc]I believe the idea is to try and kill it when it comes up, but how exactly... hmmm...[/oob]
Since the element of surprise is lost (or never has been there) and the other two are significantly better at killing then she is, Adelina swings at the bird woman to put her in a better hacking position to Johnny and make a suggestion Khor about her dodging to the right all the time.
Okay. Posted her attack (witnesses are bad). And it was poop.
"If you change your mind.. " the half elf will approach the bird woman while pulling out her scroll case. A sheet of paper is selected, ink pen out, she writes something quickly, "... you can find us here." then hands it to the tengu. If she can read, it says simply "In The Boneyard" but by that point Adelina is close enough to stab the creature.
Adelina would suggest killing the bird woman and looting all that she owns. Of course. Other than that there is the other boot we are missing. I guess no other exploration needing to be done, we'd go back and report to the halfling barkeep the success of our operation. Reaping in the glorious goodwill before considering what great things we will do next :)
"You say don't Want, but it is obviously you Need one. You are living in some dead guys basement! And this place REALLY smells."
And another caught in the web Adelina thinks.
"She is speaking the truth, m'lady is. I've been in dire straights before and her nobledom here was able to waggle her coin and station to get me out. You can let her do the same."
Adelina nods to Imperia and keeps the blades ready.
Adelina will check the door, and do the lock picking thing if needed.
"Johnny, I believe he is listing to the right, if you-" Adelina will use Combat advice to give a +2 attack on his next attack. And also throwing a dagger on the off chance she'll hit.
Adelina tells the others what she remembers about these things, not having ever laid eyes on the creepy things before, just stories. She sees from the look in Imperia's eyes that she already knew all about them, and of course she does, but Adelina also adds one bit. "We should kill it." rather unnecessarily.
"What the ?!?!?" Adelina yells at the thing as it's claw cut into her arm. At least she ducked under one of them. "THIS IS WHY YOU GET ONE OF THE OTHERS TO GO IN FIRST!" the thief yells at herself, as she withdraws FAST behind one of the giant people.
Adelina reaches into her pouch, pulling out a small journal and jots down poisoned meat on the todo list. "Through the holes then" she points to the holes in the wall and then slips through quietly and carefully.
