Letsuna Dave is third lv. therefore should have 'out of sub tier gold..' instead of tier 1-2 ..could you please post an amended chronicle sheet?
thx...
Letsuna while u r at it could you do me a favor..Dave's starting gold..is 3242gp... Dave will sell his longsword (7gp)....and after he receives 1218gp from Oathbreakers die...he'll have a total of 4467gp...he'd then like to buy a +1 cold iron longsword (4330gp) leaving Dave with 137gp...Could you please adjust his chronicle sheet to reflect the purchase and the sold item when you revise the chronicle sheet?

thx again.
lucklesshero :)

Dave from his higher vantage point comes down with both his weapons yet again. longsword: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 = 4dmg: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10lt mace: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 2 + 1 = 22dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Dave shakes his head in sad resignation at the woman’s misguided courage in the face of overwhelming odds. Dave manages only to softly murmur, you were warned.. before bringing his blade and mace into play. longsword: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8dmg: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10 Mace: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 2 + 1 = 14dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Dave draws his blades as he makes his way on to the top of the table. He stands looming over their opponent long sword in one hand mace in the other; throw down your weapons and surrender! You’re surrounded! We will surely kill you if you don’t! could someone moves Dave’s pawn to right next to the enemy on top the table please?.

Dave lines up a shot with his crossbow and lets a bolt fly. c bow: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 - 4 = 4dmg: 1d8 ⇒ 7 but misses badly. Dave decides it's just better away his crossbow so he shoulders his bow.

Dave double moves into the room ...loaded crossbow in hand.

Dave stays put knowing his light will disrupt Yangrit's attempt at being stealthy...instead he sheathes his swords. stuffs his sunrod into his belt...and loads his crossbow.

Dave takes the remaining flask of acid and sheathes his weapons he moves to the upper left door and checks it for traps...perception: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 1 = 22

Dave goes about trying to cut down yellow via blade and bash (longsword & mace) L sword: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17dmg: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3lt mace: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Dave moves into the room both blades drawn. He knows his allies will need back-up if they're to be victorious. Dave double moves.

what is our light source?

Dave searches the room very carefully trying to touch as little as possible. perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17 (add +1 to perception for traps)

Not satisfied with the result of his crossbow shot, Dave shoulders the weapon and stalks forward towards the fight while drawing both his blades.

Dave eyes the moving mushrooms, suspiciously. He moves forward about 10' more and the raises his crossbow, I don't like the way that group of fungus is moving! Dave announces as he lets loose with a bolt. (Dave does not ask permission from the others before loosing his arrow, he just speaks as a way of drawing attention to his action.)
crossbow: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 dmg: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Dave has his crossbow cocked and loaded, as he moves slowly forward looking around carefully...perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14 (add +1 to result for traps)

I assumed we were heading to Ghostknives hideout...if it's undecided that's my vote.

Dave also purchases an antitoxin

Note Dave traveled through Hannar's square not Yangrit's to get to his flanking position with Bernard. (ie. unless adversary has reach no AoO on Dave)

Dave pushes past Pemak and Hannar, after seeing this one earring woman?, grow claws and savagely slash his companion Bernard...He pulls his shortsword along the way (now dual wielding). Dave manages to flank the woman with Bernard on the opposite side and looks for a vulnerable area to strike, then lunges at the woman with his longsword: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 2 = 19dmg: 1d8 + 3 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 3 + (5) = 14

Dave turns to Pemak and ask, who is it? Why are my comrades attacking? Dave holds action until after the stranger acts.

Dave is shocked at the sudden turn of events.. he stays close to Pemak and draws his longsword

Dave comes out of the cottage with a confused and regretful look on his face, Umm very sorry for the trouble mum...it's....it's ...just that it's been quite the day. We'll be leaving you be now, thanks for the information and please be careful...your name was found on a list of murdered individuals. I'd advise you to go strait to Bernard's brother, and seek his protection until you hear more about what we discovered.

Dave looks to his companions, I'm ready to go explore the sewers beneath the distillery. Let's tarry here no longer.

Dave looks a bit disappointed that Pemak consented to a search so easily, not wanting to loose too much face Dave goes in her hut and makes a cursory search; (taking '10' for total of '17 perception.)

Maybe it is time to take a different approach friend. We have to start trusting someone - otherwise we won't get to the bottom of this mess.

Dave snaps his head at Bernard's uninvited touch and relaxes just as quickly... Perhaps you're right... Dave pointed looks at Pemak, That doesn't change the fact, that Pemak here is either in great danger or pulling some kind of ruse. I'd be lying if I said I was comfortable just leaving her behind. Perhaps we can leave her in the care of Brandur's brother...He shouldn't be too hard to seek out and has as much interest in us solving this as any. Dave's face is determined..He does not trust this half Orc especially after smelling the very same poison smell he smelled after his venture captain and the other's death...

*edit* as a matter of fact...she was awful anxious to meet us outside!

Dave suddenly snaps his fingers in revelation!

Dave looks past the 1/2 Orc woman and says, Do you mind us searching your cottage? If you got nothing hide from us shouldn't be a problem.. Dave drums his fingers on the pommel of his long sword while waiting for a reply. To be truthful ...I'm only asking as a matter of courtesy..We could wait outside until Bernard's brother was summoned and they could search it just as easily? Dave presents the offer in a none too delicate manor.

Dave relaxes a little... ie. no longer holding any readied action..... Hmmm...you seem to be caught up in this somehow..either your a part of it spinning a good yarn.. Dave arches his eyebrow and studies Pemak once again, sense motive: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18 .. Or you're telling the truth..which means you're in danger because, we found your name on a list...most of the others are dead..*sigh*... Dave furrows his brow recalling something Pemak mentioned. You said thieves beneath the Dripping Wall Distillery stole your compound? How exactly can a group of thugs steal a building? Or have they just threated you not to return there anymore? What's to prevent us from looking in on the compound now? You seem set on sending us to the sewers beneath the Distillery, perhaps to help us..or perhaps your sending us into an ambush..How are we to know which?

Dave is suspicious as all get out. You still haven't explained that smell, we'll talk about your problems as soon as you've answered our questions. Dave also ask her does she know Pemak, Bosk, or Clovesh and gauge her reaction at each name. sense motive: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

Dave moves right next to Pemak after sheathing his swords..

Are you seeking specialized medical care for a loved one?

Dave huffs.. No seems everyone we value in the Gods forsaken city...has perished at the hands of a poisoner...the poison victims ingested, had a very similar smell to the one wafting from your hut.. Dave arches an eyebrow ready to grab at the would be chemist. Any sign of chemist moving away from Dave or grasping at flask or spell component, Dave attempts to grapple them.

are we on map 2 GM? it looks like an alley?

Dave points his sword at her and yells, Stay where you are! Don't move don't touch anything! intimidate: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Dave proceeds to kick the door ignoring Yangrit..

Dave snorts, The gnome insisted he was safe...As for myself, I'm tired of being led around by the nose! Dave draws one of blades to demonstrate his purpose. As far as I'm concerned, this mission transformed from one of escort and protection to one of retribution as soon as someone murdered one of ours.. Dave spits seemingly disgusted with the whole mess.

No I say we finish this! An eye for eye! Let's send a message to all would-be poisoners and assassins that, Pathfinder justice awaits those who deem to murder our kin! Dave looks directly at Uhr and says (in a sneer), Go run to the gnome's safe house, if you've not got the stomach for what's coming. Dave sniffs the air a couple of times before entering the building. Same smell of vinegar that wafted out of our three poisoned victims last breathes...grr..my guess..this is our assassin's supplier and therefore, the last connection to him or her.

Dave walks to the front door without using any subterfuge. His shortsword already in his off hand...Dave draws his long sword and turns to the others saying, I'm going, 'off script' here fellow Pathfinders..I'm going to ask this Poison maker who he made the poisons for ...and I'm not going to ask nicely! then without warning Dave kicks the door trying to force it open! str check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

Dave's face grows grim and determined...I say it's time we paid that poison maker a visit and shake some answers out of them...This killer has a large butcher's bill to pay....and I aim to collect!

Dave nods, and addresses the two men, Do you know where she could be...it's important.. Dave looks around the Distillery to see if there are any doors to other rooms ect.. (GM taking '10' on the perception check when inside the distillery for a total of '17')

Dave reluctantly agrees to leave the gnome boarded up in her own home with instructions, Don’t eat or drink anything you have here! It may already be poisoned. I’ll give you my waterskin and some rations until we return...agreed?

Super reluctant to leave this guy alone...I mean if we were really hired to protect an agent wouldn't we leave at least one of our own to stay and protect this gnome? I mean Im pretty much getting the clue of the adventure..follow this bread crumb to that ect...but...um does this make any sense to u all either? Are any of you inclined to leave the gnome unguarded?

Dave nods in sad agreement, To be truthful...I too would feel doubts if I were in your position... but, let me assure you Pathfinders take care of their own...If you like I will stay here and guard you until it's time to move you. The others can go and investigate this assassin's whereabouts...and perhaps shed some light on this situation... Dave looks to the others his mind made up... But, please reconsider your decision to break ties with the Pathfinders...I think you'll find Pathfinders among the more powerful allies any person can have.
diplomacy: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (19) - 1 = 18

Dave walks in the room after Yangrit weapons drawn..immediately starts looking around for stalking enemies knowing there's a assassin on the prowl. perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Dave looks startled as if shook from a nap as Yangrit touches his arm, Yeah of coarse I’m let me check this door for traps and then I’ll circle round the building to see if there’s any other obvious exists. first Dave looks for traps on and/or by the door traps perception: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 1 = 14 then he circles around the building trying to spot escape hatches small windows ect..perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Dave follows Yangrit to the safehouse.

Dave cast his eyes down when shown the document with the directions to the safe house. um sorry... I should have known better... I think we should get there as soon as possible... sorry my accusations.. guess all this poisonings have made me jumpy... I just wish I could face whoever is responsible for all this in a stand up fight. Dave seems genuinely contrite for his unthinking actions.

Dave picks up the paper and reads the names, Brandur, Oathbreaker Bosk, Ramyla, Timinic, Pemak... Dave hands the note to the elf Xusius, and pauses to consider, The first two names are dead on that list...with three to go...if the killer is going in order this Ramyla is next..

Dave looks concerned as he looks up to the others, So here's what we know...Brandur was poisoned...but not by Bosk like we thought... Dave pauses as if working his thoughts out while he thinks, Because...because Bosk had already been dead a day...the killer took Bosk's uniform and disguised themselves as Bosk. sudden revelation comes to Dave..That means the person we saw a few minutes ago wasn't Bosk at all! The killer was right in front of us!

Dave starts pacing, We found some papers indicating a woman killer suspected for crimes by Brandur...hmmm Dave snaps his fingers, All three names we've seen before, Timinic is our Pathfinder agent, Ramyla, was mentioned as the owner of some dripping something..distillery, where Timinic used to hang out..this Pemak is part of the poisoners guild no? Dave rest his hands on his weapons confident and at ease.

Seems to me this is a 'hit list', and our resident assassin is trying to cover up any and all connection to himself or herself. You all want to go to the safe house immediately.. Dave turns a suspicious eye on his group... Exactly how do you know where the safehouse is? The VC never got around to telling us...are one of you working for the enemy trying to get me to reveal where it is? Because, I don't know! Exactly what is your game? Dave is genuinely suspicious of Benard and Yangrit at this point.. sense motive: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Guys did I miss something...I don't mind playing Dave as kind of a slow witted fool..but I went over everything so far and I didn't catch anything that indicated we already knew where the safe house was...*Bosk* did...but he's dead...so the next coarse of action would be to go to place we can find no?..(the distillery or the poisoners..) What am I missing ..I understand we need to save the agent..but we don't know where he's at...perhaps it was something I said when Dave mentioned, "I think we need to find that safe house sooner rather than later...someone is in grave danger I fear. " Dave was only talking for flavor there...meaning there's urgency...but Yangrit and Bernard seem to want to head straight to the 'safehouse'....so did I miss something?

Dave bends over the Dead Dwarf's body and does a cursory examination..heal: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17 He sniffs the odor coming off the dead body and notes the Rigor mortis still had hold of some of the Dwarfs outer limbs.
Dead about a day I'd guess,... Dave grabs the empty bottle and turns it upside down, looks like he knew he'd been poisoned.. Drank this anti-toxin or neutralizing agent... Dave sniffs lightly at the empty vial.. doesn't seem to have done him much good...

Dave stands up and looks around the room, rummaging for whatever, clues he can find. perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9 As he searches the cupboards, checks the floorboards for loose planks, and checks underneath the cot. Dave mentions, If he knew he'd been poisoned, then it's likely he was face to face with his poisoner...I think we need to find that safe house sooner rather than later...someone is in grave danger I fear. Dave pauses for a moment, and addresses Xusius, Not that it matters, but can you pick up any residual magic from that empty vial? It's apparent the poison or poisons we're dealing with are very potent. I'd just like to know if they're potent enough to ward off a magical curative like a neutralize poison potion.

Dave opens the door

Dave obediently knocks..

Dave pushes forward to examine the door, perception traps: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 7 + 1 = 28 Let me have a look before we go barging in O.K.? Also one of you magic types mind creating a little light...just in case it's dark in there.

When Dave is through, he draws both weapons and indicates that, Bernard should open the door from the side, while Dave stands in front of the door both blades barred.

Dave considers the area and ask where the Dwarf's cottage might be. K local: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Coming up empty, Dave says...well were out of options..we either follow these tracks to their conclusion and possibility walk into an ambush or we abandon this chase and move onto something else.

Dave aids Yangrit in searching for tracks/clues that would help solve the mystery of why they got wider. aid another survival: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Knowledge local: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12Survive: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Dave feels naked in a city he knows little about...but is able to follow the Dwarf until the tracks get wider..Dave makes a few inquires of the local stall vendors and finds out none had scene a dwarf but, a human male wearing Dwarf gear had been spotted.. I think our Dwarf gave us the slip..He switched places with a double or was abducted unwillingly and replaced by a double to miss-lead us...either way...I don't think we are following Bosk tracks anymore... Declares Dave somberly.. The only question remains..do we back-track and try to pick-up the Dwarf's trail again...or follow the existing tracks into what could be a trap?

Dave furrows his brows trying to recall something about this wretched city from the times him and his crew had docked here.knowledge local: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19 Dave clears his throat, Well from what I know of Daggermark the Assassin's and poisoners guild pull all the strings. And that just about anyone could have poisoned our Venture Captain because the guilds offer discounts to locals. However, city officials are off limits... Dave smirks an ironic laugh...guess that's why their militia is so strong!

Dave gathers his gear and draws his bow, It's getting dark outside..Hannar...do you posses magic that lights our way? If so please cast the spell on my bow. Benard and Uhr lead the way we're going after Brandur.. survive 'aid follow tracks: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Dave looks regretfully at the tracks and heads back to the house 1st he searches Bosk and finds several vials of liquid. Having no idea what the items are he sets them on the table and says, Don’t suppose any of you know anything about such things? Next he looks at the safe and tries to ‘crack’ it. [ooc](take 20 if allowed if not...disable device: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Standing in the doorway and speaking loudly enough for the whole team to hear, Yangrit gruffly speaks: "We're not doctors. The best way we can help him is to follow his orders. I'm off to find Timinic before we lose his trail. Anyone who's with me, let's go now." With that, she begins stoically following the boot prints into town.

Dave nods vigorously and turns to the others, she’s right we should go now before the snow covers his tracks! Dave waits only a moment, then follows Yangrit.
