Bryn: I did look those over and at first glance nothing really jumped out. Looking again now... Coordinated Attacks may have its use. (ignoring concealment) Fighting Spirit gives you a combat feat. Shout of Warning as you have mentioned could be of use. How often are folks flatfooted outside of a surprise round? Sphere of Influence has possibilities +1 to all checks of one ability score. looking at your skills Int, Wis, or Cha. Those are what stand out for me. Wanting to help the part is nice... but an extra feat... can be just as helpful.
Alexandra looks to the others after hearing Nathan out, "I am for returning Nathan to Risur, the information he could provide on Danor's build up as to what led to the Duchess' actions would be a boon to the Royal Homeland Constabulary. If at another point in time that they deem it, those of authority can return him to Danor. Either way, I am sure that he has more value for us than the trouble it may cause." She looks around to the others to see what they have to say on the matter.
Perhaps I should have asked before posting,do we have the authority to grant political asylum? Or at least bring Nathan back to Risur to have that petition heard?
The woman watches the powerful fey depart with relief. It was good to not not make an enemy of that one. She looks to Nathan, "If you do not return, you could request asylum from Risur. Of course, we are not in a position to grant it, but you could be present to those that might consider it. They might also reject it as well, as you are a relation of Minster Jirre." There was much revealed here at the end of the conflict. And much more to consider, going forward.
I was afraid of that for Nathan. I would suggest if he wants the Risuri help that he request asylum. Which brings its own can of worms. An FYI... I am going to go with my bard, with a new character. Millicent Hargrave (with a likely dip in swashbuckler next level, but we will see. I considered that for 2nd level, but Versatile Performance kicks in for diplomacy and sense motive. And Eldritch Heritage for a familiar) While Alex was okay and all as a concept mechanically it is very different then what I am used to. Bard do have cure light wounds as well. So the wand we have can still be used by several people. Alexandra can be used with the campaign as GMFangur wishes (suggestion might be liaison with the Unseen Court... or transferred away which ever works away.)
The young woman looks to the Duchess, "Duchess Ethelyn, perhaps you would be so kind as to have your forces stand down? There is little point to more bloodshed between our people."
The woman takes note of the many things said here today to be included in her report. Alex steps aside and looks at her escort, "Pass the word, Lord Arasbey is departing and not to stopped or engaged."
Assuming this ends and we are not dead... and perhaps level up... and GM Fanguar is agreeable... I have two options to help with some holes: Option 1: I rework/tweak Alex likely picking up [urhttps://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/orator/]Orator feat[/url] Option 2: I have a new character join the group (a Bard/Docker which can fill the face role) and Alex departs. The character would be big on support with skills/knowledge/buffs that an Investigator cannot really provide and some more magics. I have played more bards than investigators. If Messer is going rogue, disable device can be picked up as well. Thoughts?
As I have done this for a few of my other games of late, thought I would add this for folks to take a quick look at some of the skills we have available. You all should be able to edit the document as well, if you want to update, or change any errors that there may be.
The young woman looks to the fey and then to Nathan and the Duchess trying to tell who is telling the truth and about what...
"What is it exactly that Nathan did in this matter, other than be present?" she is asking aloud mostly to Asrabey but if the Dutchess wants to answer great. "Does Danor have a pact with the Unseen Court that he has betrayed? Because if he is merely accused of betraying his own country, true or not, is not a matter for the Court." She pauses a moment before considering the fey that has aided the Dutchess, "Perhaps, dealing with the fey that has aided the Dutchess, Lady Beshela for instance, might be a more fitting task then taking this young man, of this world, before the Court?"
What is in the Player's killed a fey titan and founded Risur. Risur pays tribute to the Unssen Court for some deal that King Kelland made with them at Risur's founding. Someone with Knowledge (History) might get more. Alex's reasoning though, she is respecting the Fey, really if this guy is as bad ass as portrayed, do we really have a choice in what does or does not do? He kills the duchess and we slay/wound I think we loose more there than he would. Not to mention she is NG... so wanting to know the real facts... She could have information, yet used it the wrong way. As for Nathan... we have been asked to bring him back as well... of course by Danor (the Minster that is). Not to mention he appears to know only what he has seen in the last little bit and not a part of the bigger picture... but that is just a guess at present. I am game to ask for him as well. In the end... a much bigger picture appears to happening that we do not know... and I want to know... :)
The woman looks to the fae first, "While the judgment of the Unseen Court is a valid one, the fact that we are currently here to detain and remove the Duches to face justice of Risur, on authority of the King I might add, we are going to have unfortunately claim jurisdiction in this matter. Before you mention that we are on Danoar lands, we also have their blessing to take the Duchess into custody and end this unlawful occupation. Once Risur has handed out it's justice, you may petition the King yourself to hand over the Duchess for the Unseen Court's judgment." She pauses a moment, "Hand you acted sooner, before we had arrived, this would be moot. Not to mention, the many Risuri people loyal to the King that have fallen to your hand." "Act how you will though, there are consequences either way." she says letting the fae executioner decide his own actions. Turning to the Duchess, "I am not saying you are wrong, they way you went about it though, was. I for one, would like to here your reasoning for all of this." She states waving her hands wide to indicate the entirety of the events that had lead them all here.
The woman readies... She was hoping the others more diplomatic then herself might try to reason with the powerful fae and the Duchess but that seemed unlikly with the spell being cast. She readies to protect her fellow Constables. She holds her now magical club at the ready.
The woman readies herself to apply the oil to the club she has as soon as door is opened... Whispering, "Unless there is more to learn by listening?"
The investigator looks to Adam and gives a slight shrug, considering she was hiding just as well along the seawall as she set the many traps she laid to delay their attackers. She moves slowly after the magus give the others a wry smile...
The woman draws her oil to be applied to her club, but does not draw the weapon while while watching the green haired disappear.
"The flaming one... is not a friend of ours. We suspect that he is one Asrabey, from many years ago. she adds to Messer's comments.
The woman smirks as she listens to her fellow Constables banter back and forth as they make the run... The woman does pick up the orb that was dropped by the fae and stows it away if it fits within her pack. She continues on still uncomfortable with the state of the land. "Be wary, unless you have a weapon of cold iron or of a magical nature. I have a club and oil that will make said item hit damn hard and hit a being that requires magic to hit." the woman states to the others.
"By the gods..." the woman states as if she might be ill as the land around her transforms. "If that is this fey... they usually have little concern for mortal kind." She comments back to Messer. "I'm game..." she says starting forward.
The woman nods to the others, "I am game. Whatever gets us closer to stopping this mess." She looks to the Lieutenant and asks, "Will you be joining us? Or will you provide us with the key you mentioned?"
After returning with the armaments the woman presents them to the Lieutenant, "Here you are, as I said I would." She looks to the man and gives him a nod. She sees that Aslah is more than a bit annoyed, but it is the man's own choice and it helps the group garner trust and support. She comments, "Nathan Jirrie, the young man we are looking for."
Alex looks to Alsah and can tell that she seems to have a hostility towards this man. From her earlier comment there may be merit in the dislike, yet, was this man involved? The last war was a messy affair, on both sides. And as much as it is hard to admit, Risiur people did invade their home here as well. But she asked how they could help prove themselves, and the good Lieutenant had an answer. With a curt nod she turns and approached the soldiers watching over this compound and relayed her request to acquire the weapons that the Lieutenant asked for. She did ask it as a question, but added we need to get the following brought here, presently, "If it is not too much trouble, the weapons are required immediately." If they have issue...: If this guys she is speaking with should balk at the idea, she will have her personal guard do it.
The young half-fae woman steps forth to address the soldier, "Lieutenant. I am Constable Stray. As you can see the six of us are not Risuri military. We are of the Royal Homeland Constabulary. As I mentioned, we were asked to be here. Minster Jirre herself, asked us, and Risur Navy, to complete the task to remove this rebel faction that has taken hold here. So, believe us or don't that is your prerogative." She looks about everyone before turning her gaze to the Lieutenant again and genuinly asks while stating the facts that a military officer would understand, "Knowing that there is an armed conflict outside to retake the centre hold which the Duchess and her forces have retreated to, what would you suggest that would help gain a little bit of your help?"
Alex nods as Alsah she speaks and looks over the Danoarnas as well. She attempts to add, " We have been asked to remove the Duchess' forces by your own government. While some of you may not see a difference, there is. Risur is not responsible for this, it was a rogue faction we are dealing with. I would ask if you have any information that could help us end this faster, please, let us know. Either way, as my colleague has stated, you will all be freed shortly."
The woman moves in with the others as she scans the converted barn for the Danoran man they are looking for.
"The people should be moved to beyond the fighting and treated, when it is safe to do so. They are after presently, the rightful hosts of this island." She comments.
The young woman had been leaning against the wall during the interrogation as Bryn asked his questions and the answers gleaned from the group's leader. Nothing really new, but enough to go a long way in the Duchess' trial to come. At the sound of lacation fo prisoner's by Aslah, the woman gives a nod. "We should be fished here... let us see to the Danorian prisioners."
The woman was leaning against the wall as the others were discussing the interrogation when the lights go out and she catches sight of the figure. She recalls some tidbit of information form her time in the navy. "From the First Yersol War... that was what 200 years ago, there was told of some fey warrior carried a flaming sword and flying shield." the comments aloud for those around her to hear.
The woman looks to the man at his comment toward Bryn and says, "We are no more a 'civilian' than you are. Your, 'reminder', will be taken under advisement, thank you Sergeant Glassman." To the group, "Shall we, question one of the prisoners that we have taken?" As the others more suited than herself do the questioning, the fae woman remains close. She tries to recall anything relevant of the fort and locations here within the fortifications from her last tour here on Axis Island and just cannot remember anything that might help.
She takes the offered cigar and secures it with a smile, "Yes Captian!" "Thank you for the help." she says with the soldiers with them. "We also have another assignment we should pursue in this downtime. While I am sure there is still danger to be hand, it should be less so now that Risiuri troops have landed. Have you heard of any prisoners that the Duchess' forces had?" she asks of any of the troops about her. She turns to her colleagues and looks to Bryn, "We have a certain nephew to track down, that should take some time and allow us to secure this secondary objective."
The woman almost salutes but stops as she not a sailor anymore, "Captain Smith. Yes, we have succeed with this part of the mission. I am sure that there is more," she motions to the inner fort, "That must be done?"
"Right, someone has to answer for these, crimes." She nods to Adan, "And finding the Minster's nephew might help us garner some good will." She looks out across the harbouring attempting to look for the Impossible
The woman stands beside Aslah and with a nod, "We succeeded at our mission. I am sure the matter if far from settled, but it would appear that we have the upper hand for now." Once the barricades are removed she makes her way down towards the docks. She will help anyone injured to get help from the healers.
The woman attempts to climb the wall but is unable. She quickly moves about searching for rope and finds a coil closer to the docks. She makes her return to the lighthouse and with Bryn’s help, a few attempts, she is able to toss the rope into his reach. The man secures it to the top and with the Duchess’ forces advancing climbs up the side of the lighthouse with renewed vigor and a bit of fear being caught outside. Clambering over the top the woman drops and carches her breath a moment before she starts to hail the rope up behind her. Thanks Bryn. Alex says between heavy breaths.
The woman turns and attempts to climb the side of the tower. Not doing well she quickly decides that the best place to be is not in front of it when the enemy forces arrive. She makes for the docks and the small vessel there. Wanting to make her own get away she will slash at any ropes holding it in place.
It would appear that no one has rope, unless I missed it on character sheets. With no way into the lighthouse, as it is now barricaded (and rightly so!) two options remain. Climb up and into the lighthouse (+0 or +4 if counted as docks) or take cover within the water and head into the harbour out of range of baddies.
Looking over her shoulder the woman sees that the Duchess' men have halted their advance once more. She whispers, "Very nice." Remaining within within the shadows the woman continues her works once again. She sets yet another trap for the the forces she can see beyond the ones stopped.
If the doors get blocked, could someone throw a rope down do Alex can get in?
GMFanguar: Does the 5 points of barricade account for both doors, as there are two to get into the lighthouse? Or does it only block 1 door?
With so many coming towards the Sea Wall the woman retreated back towards the lighthouse. But while there she thought it best to leave yet another surprise for when they did arrive. They would pay for every bit of ground. She tossed a look over at the sea gate still opening and gave a nod.
Aslah. We have the time so you can always do something on the inside of the lighthouse as well. We have 4 rounds left after this one. And the following wave is going to be the nasty one I suspect. Alex will be dropping back to the Front of the Lighthouse in round 6.
Seeing the danger the woman moves away from the lights again to remain hidden... She continues to make more traps to impede the forces that are moving up upon them... The woman looks back at the light house hoping they are faring as well as she is, whispering to herself, "The gods be with us all this evening."
Seeing her efforts keep the attackers at bay she continues to gather up items from the attackers and pits of this at that laying about. Alexandra goes about setting another trap.
Merry New Year and all the best in 2022, to all of you.
The woman takes her chances with the oncoming forces, As she moved into the shadows and began setting another one of her traps. Once finished she thought to herself, 'We need to delay the Duchess forces as long as we can.' She looked back towards the others preparing the lighthouse for the coming assault and nods.
Happy Holidays all!
The woman continues her efforts in the area in front of the lighthouse. She attempts to make it difficult for the oncoming invaders and attemps to remain undetected while doing so.
As the woman's wounds heal over the course of a minute she looks to Bryn, getting her bow back and than retrieves a manner of small items she might use for setting traps. "Either leave a door open or get some rope, I am going outside to set some traps for in coming forces. If I have time I will look at the controls for the sea gate when I return." With that the woman makes her way out quickly and as she does gather's anything for the fallen or the like as well.
Alex will be fine by the time things begin, fast healing should bring her to full. I can start on the traps, but I wanted to know about disable device and if the mechanism can be disabled that way as well?
Can a person with disable device, disable the sea gate? I am also down with doing the trap thing as well.
Alexandra follows the others up the stairs and moves next to the mage, "Surrender now, and your life will be spared."
