Well, we're all still here (me, Barnabus, you)- wheres jlighter?
Male Gnome Oracle 2
I'm here, was waiting for a DM bump really. And uni is finally over.
Male Gnome Oracle 2
Whats next? I think Davlamin would let Skor have his dark mood and not interfere...
Male Gnome Oracle 2
That would probably suit me best, yes. You have my thanks.
Edited due to alias mixup!
Male Gnome Oracle 2
After Skorabor has left, Davlamin paces the room a little.
When we fought the moneylender, we were at a disadvantage with our current gear... Saul, could you see to it these items are sold to a reliable fence. Come up with some story to award the three of us a bonus, Skorabor took many wounds in our last battle and I would like to see him in some sturdier armour.
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30 Diplomacy
Male Gnome Oracle 2
Spellcraft-1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Davlamin tells you the cloak is of resistance +1. Is the shield masterwork? Nothing there that Davlamin can make use of except the cloak sadly. My project is in- I can post more again now.
As his loyal friend and a fellow Dwarf, he would want you to use these items in your quest to find him my friend. Davlamin says, clapping a hand on Skor's shoulder as he paces around the room, limping.
Male Gnome Oracle 2
Please just assume I follow happily along with the majority at all times, I really don't have the time to post until my third year project is in. This will (hopefully) be on May 4th. Sorry for the inconveniece, i'm in the final stages of my university degree.
Male Gnome Oracle 2
It shall be done, boss. Davlamin says smartly. Anything else? Forgive me, i'm anxious to get back to the casino floor.

I'm not in the habit of being stingy with the power to save a man's life in order to conserve resources... A wait could have cost him his life. Are we done here?
Male Gnome Oracle 2
1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 Perception
Rushing over but unsure if Tubbs is living or dead, Davlamin invokes the blessings of nature and casts Cure Light Wounds upon him.
Male Gnome Oracle 2
Methinks you need to cast Speak with Animals Barnabus ;). Or get the Oracle to do it. Whos preoccupied about to aggressively defend Skor :D.
Male Gnome Oracle 2
Davlamin spurs Moonchaser towards Skorabor, seeing him picking a fight with something.
Double move 100 feet, Davlamin will cast Divine Favor on Moonchaser while riding. Concentration DC11.
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24 Pass
Male Gnome Oracle 2
Davlamin attempts to get he and Moonchaser somewhere they are less at risk, and keeps an eye on the other two...
Sorry, crippled Gnome and Wolf not too handy here...
Male Gnome Oracle 2
K, auto-pass that thanks.
Tidal wave! Run! Davlamin says as he spurs on Moonchaser.
Run 200 feet away from the wharf. Not the greatest move but it fits IC.
Male Gnome Oracle 2
Not sure I understand whats happening sorry.
Male Gnome Oracle 2
Well done, both of you. Davlamin says approvingly, patting both Skor and Barnabus on the back. You've done yourselves proud today.
Male Gnome Oracle 2
Actually, Davlamin has little to say here, hes mostly just been waiting for Skor to explode :D.
Male Gnome Oracle 2
Davlamin quietly moves his steed behind Skorabor and casts Shield of Faith upon the Dwarf and Guidance upon himself.
Best be ready for trouble eh...
Male Gnome Oracle 2
I have no wish to gamble with the lives of our employees... Saul? Skor? Your thoughts gentlemen?
Male Gnome Oracle 2
After Feldin? Best not to trouble them. Our security chief has all the carrying muscle we could ever need. Ready Skor?
Male Gnome Oracle 2
Sounds reasonable. I've already been managing the staff somewhat... If the others permit it, i'd be honoured to step up as floor manager.
Male Gnome Oracle 2
Remember, the Goblin seems to have many enemies. Perhaps the same fiends that planted the snake also tried to set up Smeed. Either way, I doubt we'll find Feldin now... Lets go report to Saul.
Male Gnome Oracle 2
As far as i'm concerned, Saul's debt is paid- although you seem to know nothing of his death, the circumstantial evidence against you is compelling. Don't bother him again, and we won't pursue this further. By pursue this further, I mean i'll let Skorabor decide what happens to you...
Male Gnome Oracle 2
1d20 - 1 ⇒ (16) - 1 = 15
I think he might be telling the truth... Davlamin whispers to the other two.
Male Gnome Oracle 2
Male Gnome Oracle 2

Male Gnome Oracle 2
Davlamin allows Moonchaser to take a sniff around, but is unable to communicate with his Wolf verbally...
Have we lost Vesara?
Male Gnome Oracle 2
SPellcraft checks to identify please guys.
Male Gnome Oracle 2
Skor will need some. Davs ok. Have healed Skor once or twice already, but obviously healing hex is better than me using spells :).
Male Gnome Oracle 2
B, you know cackles only a move action yeah? We could use a hand here, its just me and Skor vs this guy as Vesara and Skeith seem to be AWOL...
1d20 - 5 ⇒ (2) - 5 = -3 Ride check, fail.
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Male Gnome Oracle 2
Davlamin attempts to bring his mace to bear, while simultaneously trying to get his wolf to attack. The gnome almost falls off his mount, but manages to get a good swing in with his mace.
1d20 - 5 ⇒ (1) - 5 = -4 Ride check, DC15 to let both MC and DJ attack. Failed.
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18 Attack
1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Male Gnome Oracle 2
We've acted except Skeith and Vesara.
Male Gnome Oracle 2
Davlamin channels the flow of nature to once again seal Skorabor's wounds, although they cannot fully heal the nasty damage dealt by the scimitar. Once the spell is cast, Davlamin shuffles Moonchaser into the melee, the wolf's jaws clamping only on air.
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 CLW for Skor
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 Miss
Male Gnome Oracle 2
Remember I cast Shield of Faith on Skor; still two hits?
Davlamin moves over to Skor and heals some of his wounds.
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Male Gnome Oracle 2
Now that hes unleashed the Dwarf, assume Davlamin and Moonchaser follow Skorabor closely until he finds himself in trouble.
Male Gnome Oracle 2
Skor... No shouting until we're in a fight please. Then, oh king of bouncers- I expect you to shout and rant until your hoarse...
Davlamin follows Skorabor in, riding atop Moonchaser. Just before they enter, Davlamin plaes a protective ward on the Dwarf.
Shield of Faith, 1 minute duration.

Skorabor Skalfgrin Boulderback wrote: "That bastard!", Skorabor gasps as he sees the cloak piece and starts to make his way to the front of the building.
** spoiler omitted **
By the gods Skor, i'm angry too- but lets go in via the back door, not the damn front! Davlamin hisses, showing Skor the back door behind a pile of barrels and old crates.
Male Gnome Oracle 2
Davlamin pales a little, then steels himself.
The back door then, if you would please Skeith...
Male Gnome Oracle 2
Sorry, wasn't sure.
I've considered it, which is why I wanted to have a poke around Feldin's home- and snoop around here a little too...
Male Gnome Oracle 2
So... Ignoring the suggestion to check the back in favour of talking to a door?
Male Gnome Oracle 2
Skeith! What kind of skulduggery goes through the front door- come around the back!
Male Gnome Oracle 2
Davlamin chuckles in mirth before looking for a back door and checking the rear of the building (if its accessible).
I am sure you will good Dwarf.
Perception (guidance)-
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Edit: Skorabor is a Dwarf! Someone with eyes please roll...
Male Gnome Oracle 2
Davlamin holds his hand up to call for a halt, sure that Skor will soon attack the door.
Lets look for a back door... he whispers.
Male Gnome Oracle 2
My ability to communicate with Moonchaser is part of my innate gifts, and I cannot do more than once in a day. If I continue along the path of nature I have chosen, I will be able to remedy this someday. Davlamin says with a sigh, frowning in frustration.
Male Gnome Oracle 2
Barnabus II wrote: "Does he smell anything other than our guy and this one who stinks, perhaps the door tha was torn asunder?" Davlamin shakes his head.
No such luck.
Male Gnome Oracle 2
Listening in to his wolf's insights, Davlamin nods.
The squatter has nothing to do with this; his scent has never interacted with Feldin. It seems that the moneylender is guilty after all- and we shall have our vengeance.
Male Gnome Oracle 2
Davlamin leans down to whisper in his wolf's ear, using his innate magic to communicate with it.
What do you smell my friend? Other than the squatter...
Male Gnome Oracle 2
Noted- I look forward to seeing your axemanship on his skull if he is indeed guilty. Davlamin says somewhat darkly, Moonchaser growling in sympathy with the gnome's restrained anger.

Male Gnome Oracle 2
Davlamin takes a deep breath to calm himself, clearly hurt by Skorabor's words.
Too trusting? Nay Skorabor. Not trusting enough. This seems too obvious- what if that crime lord gentlemen who graced our doors set it up to look like Smeed kidnapped or killed Saul's employee- moneylenders are not in the habit of killing or making enemies of people who pay back their loans on time, its bad for business. This is the kind of behaviour you hear of when the loan isn't paid back.
Davlamin looks his stubborn friend in the eye with a steely glare.
Someone IS trying to sabotage the Gold Goblin- and what better way to do it than have us make even more enemies in Riddleport? I only ask that we check out the house first carefully- and if nothing turns up then we can pay a visit to Smeed. We have time to do both. I spent my youth agitating against these crime lords and I have no sympathy or loyalty towards them, nor any qualms about delivering natures wrath- shattering their lives and livelihoods if this Smeed has truly crossed us...
Male Gnome Oracle 2
Once Saul has left, Dav puts forward his plan to the others.
We don't know for sure this moneylender is involved- although it does seem likely. I suggest we head to Larur's home first of all and keep an open mind. This seems too obvious to me...
