Sorry to lose this campaign! Yes, it would be nice to pick up again later :)

Best of luck in future! I picture Jyste thinking, "My work is done!" and going 'Poof' into the night.

Anna slashes out at the goblin twice.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 81d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Attack 2: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 121d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

I think it's your turn, Jyste.

Anna moves to attack the goblin that Alruc pointed out.

Attack!: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Damage: 1d6 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + 4 + (6, 3) = 15 (sneak attack, right? goblin has not acted yet)

Clearly, we're both stuffed up due to our newly developed allergy to goblins.

Anna wrinkles her nose as the wind changes. "Does anyone else smell that? It's like... something rotting. Maybe the goblins had bodies?"

Her nose can obviously only do so much, but she starts trying to sniff out the direction of the smell all the same.

Survival?: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

"The messenger was... convincing," says Anna, scrubbing her face just from the memory of it.

"Worth a try bringing the goblin king too. Can your mount bear him?" Anna asks Alruc.

She smiles at the girls and rummages in her bags to hand over a few threadbare vests, trying not to feel embarrassed over the shabby state of her attire.

"I'm Anna," she says to them. "Good to hear you're all right." And for more reasons than one... "We'll get you back to town soon, don't worry!"

Woohoo!

I'm good for armor.

Things I think would be worth keeping:
- potions: CLW, Endure Elements, Remove Fear, Remove Sickness, Stabilize, maybe Magic Fang for Alruc's mount
- offensive scrolls (except Mirror Strike, just seems too specific) - are these useful for Cao mechanically, since spellbook is out of the picture? I have UMD and could probably make use of a few.

Anna slits the king's throat after taking his gear. No point in dragging it out, and he was not a nice man.

She looks up as Jyste comes over. "You found the prisoners! Good job, Jyste. I wondered where they had got to."

She smiles at the girls and introduces the group. "We were sent to find you, and now we'll bring you home safely. The goblins didn't harm you in any way, did they?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 (to befriend the girls and put them at ease)

Before they leave, she scavenges the camp for anything of use.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

Anna gives in easily. "I suppose you're right, and the guards did charge us to act for them. I'm just used to taking prisoners from my own time as a city guard."

Anna cackles in triumph and pokes Krosk with her toe.

"Should we take him to the city to be arrested? We still have to find the prisoners..."

She starts efficiently emptying his pockets and divesting him of weapons and armor. The best prisoner is an unarmed prisoner!

Anna may not be very tall, but she's still bigger than a goblin, so she growls threateningly at them in an effort to add weight to Alruc's threats.

Intimidate (Assist): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Can I throw a dagger at someone in the surprise round too?

Anna puts her hands on her hips (conveniently next to where her short swords are sheathed), but the time for words seems to be over.

Goblins aren't the most sporting fighters, from what Anna's seen so far; she sneakily keeps a dagger at the ready to hurl at any goblin employing dirty tricks, should Alruc need her help.

Stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

"I'm sure we can find some way to amuse a goblin, and if it has to be at the point of a sword..." Anna shrugs.

Exciting!! Congrats!

Anna smiles at Mei's defiance, feeling encouraged.

"This is a serious matter, King Krosk. You could have a lot of trouble coming your way if the city decides to come after you. Their guard is large and powerful, and if we found you, they can too. On the other hand, if you were inclined to let the people go as a show of good faith, it would be easy to forget this ever happened."

"Judged by whom and how?" Anna wants to know. "This noblewoman is of an important family. To avoid war with the city, you might be better off releasing her."

Anna lifts her chin, undaunted by the goblins' laughter.

"What did you do with them?"

Sorry; I had been trying not to hog the conversation.

I'd aimed to be play Anna as a bit timid, but maybe she can start coming into her own, since I don't think that approach will be very helpful to RP off of.

Anna fidgets nervously. "Me?" She had hoped one of the others would speak up and not leaving the talking - and thinking - to her.

She shifts closer to Cao and whispers, "Are you sure there isn't someone better?" She's sure she'll mess it up somehow.

Not your place, some in Ironwall might have said.

But, she's part of a group that's managed to talk its way deep into the heart of goblin territory, isn't she? They've been successful so far, haven't they? What do goblins care about street urchins and gutter rats? This isn't even a proper city!

She just has to stop thinking of him as a king and think of him as a rabble-rouser that needs to be asked some hard questions.

Her stances widens. Her shoulders straighten. She smiles a predatory smile at the king and begins.

"What were goblin tracks doing around the destroyed caravan of..." Princess? Lady? Miss? She doesn't remember. No matter, the interrogation must go on. "... a gentlewoman?"

"Good," says Anna, crossing her arms. "We'd better get started."

Anna whirls around in surprise, vest nearly falling off her head, as the king approaches Mei and... possibly hits on her?

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

"Oh great king!" cries Anna. "As the most important goblin, we have most important questions to ask you. There are things we must know that only you can tell us!"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

So they've heard about us.

Anna is getting pretty fond of goblin logic.

"You've convinced me! You've passed the test, so now let's talk. Take us to your king!"

Anna pulls her vest from the back of her pouch and sticks it on her head, all the better to fit in.

"Did your patrol leader not tell you? We have come to parley!"

Diplomacy?: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Survival: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Anna tries to follow the trail of the goblins' tracks.

"Talking was going pretty well at first. We could track down the leader goblin and try to talk to him again."

"They could have information to share. Maybe they know where the princess is."

Anna's waiting for the chief's return. Are the goblins doing anything else?

Anna listens to the tall tales with amusement. She doesn't forget their surroundings, though, and she stands at the ready.

I didn't realize we weren't alone, whoops. I would have kept my voice down, then, so the goblins couldn't hear me.

"Whew, thanks, Cao! I didn't think he was going to believe me."

Anna grins at Alruc. "Never hurts to try, right?"

She sizes up the goblins as they leave then scans the area for tracks, trying to figure out how many goblins there might be and who might have been moving through the area.

Perception, Goblins: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Survival, Tracks: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Bluff: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

It's possible I failed at rogue-making when it came to Bluff. Always one skill I forget about.

"We have important matters to discuss! Hurry, there's no time to waste!"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

"Intruding?! If course not! We are here on a diplomatic mission, a matter of great importance that we have been sent to investigate. If you'll just invite us into your impressive territory, we can get started."

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Anna hangs back when she sees the goblins to let the party catch up with her.

"Goblins following us! Something strange about them..."

Anna can scout ahead.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

Perception (Second Watch): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Anna pops back out of the shadows, though she keeps an uneasy watch on the area the glowing eyes were in.

"Were those goblins?" In response to Mei, she says, "I can take the next watch."

She already knows she won't be sleeping much tonight.

Anna moves closer to the others. "There are two things out there watching us," she whispers. "And it looks like three people were dragged off that way." She gestures vaguely, unnerved by being watched, and then slips off into the shadows to lie in wait. She's good at taking an enemy by surprise, but not much of a planner, so she'll let the others figure something out then follow their lead.

Survival: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

Anna yawns, but the party is hard at work, so she lights a torch and searches with them.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

"Goblins?" she repeats, wide-eyed. They show up in stories a lot, but she hasn't has to deal with them before.

Anna nods at Bruno's statement. "Can your horse can see in the dark?" Anna wants to know of Alruc. "I always got assigned to foot troops, thank goodness; riding would've just been one more thing to learn. I heard of a pair of special goggles to see in the dark for important missions, but I never got to use those.

"I don't have a horse. Will anyone else be walking too? I hope that horse doesn't get too far ahead. It might not be safe further on."

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Anna looks up at the night sky. "I don't know how much I'll be able to tell about the crime scene in the dark," she says dubiously.

Sorry, Alruc, spelt your name wrong! Phone posting has its difficulties.

Anna nods. "Let's do it! No deflowering! Thank you, guards!" She shakes their hands, grabs a rag off the bar to properly clean her face, then follows Alric out.

Ha no problem... hopefully Anna finds a handkerchief at some point...

Anna wipes her face on her sleeve as discreetly as possible.

"Is there - er - anyone else we can talk to about the job?"
