Really hate to say it, apologies GM but I'm pulling out to.
Sorry dude.
We should question our 'repentant' bandit again, as a group.so we may first hand glean what we can and then decidea course. He may have left something out last time and given our varied talents, no doubt some will need knowledge others may not thinkto ask.
Deacon Nasser. Wizard and Eldritch Knight in training. The pleasure is all mine. And this featherduster on my shoulder is my familiar, Chatterbeak.
No worries. I'll take it.
So we act on this bandit's information, head to this Stag lord's lair and attack on his terms? Would it not be better to draw some bandits away first at least?
Taming these lands will be a prolonged experience. This Stag lord is only the beginning, but removing him is at least. Let us move to planning our assault and begin preparations. He leans over in his chair, Oleg, when you have time, I would speak with you about fashioning some armor for me. We may need to make a piecemeal set. An armored leather skirt for the legs and an armored belly plate . It should affored me a greater level of protection, whilst leaving my arms unimpedded to cast.
Ahh, it seems you haven't had the honor of meeting a Gnome, Raxus.
Addressing the group, Brydar, your tongue would provoke more.capable than mine to explain, since a.great deal of my bandit experience was spent with my head in a burlap.sack.
Yes. Raxus makes quite an impression, doesn't he. You should see him swing a tree trunk.
Marvelous. Now that we're all friends, shall we head inside and discuss our bandit friend. With your arrival you should be bought up to speed. It seems we have a stag to put down.
How're we gonna divide the party loot? Are we happy to call dibs on stuff and sell the rest.
Also dm, you forgot to add the horses and wagon to the party loot. They are worth quite a bit to a 1st level party. Also could I buy an Armored Kilt+Haramaki Armor from Oleg with my share?
Standing on the balcony, Deacon ran an appraising eye over the group.
No probs at all with the DMPC rule. Me and Raxus have been pretty regular and Twigs and Krogun no I'm addicted to these games.
Ahh, we will find common ground. Never let a good story split up a party ;)
Sweet. Me an twigs are gonna be best pals in this game for a change. Our chars in 2nd darkness hate each other ;)
Ahh screw it. I'm happy either way @Alexi: Bro! Where ya bin?
By my count we have Raxus -Barb
I dont mind hitting reset. The game has been very stop/start because of dropouts and normally I like posts of min 1or 2/day.
he looks kick a$$
All but the one we dragged back with us, yes.
Yes. Finally. And a nights rest will be in order after the day we've had.
Yes. You saved my life.
Korgun Doomspray in the recruitment thread is my DM from 2nd Darkness I spoke of.
Thx
Sadder words were never spoken. That leaves
DM.Ryko, would you mind if I had my DM and a player from my 2nd darkness game submit replacements. Both are VERY frequent posters and in addition to covering the loss of Kastus and the oracle, it would help us pick the pace up alot. I hate to see an AP die.
I am fine, but our giant friend looks quite beaten. He could surely do with your goddesses favor. Once that's done let's get on shall we?
Possibly. Shall we be off?
How about being an indentured servant to a pioneer out here? If we could find someone willing to take him. No need to decide now. Just a thought.
I do like your plan Kastus. I need a day's rest to replenish mymagic anyway. I am ready to leave when you all are. Having collected his things he looked quite a sight. A wizard carrying a sword. Not even able to properly use it.
Once they reach the thicket, Deacon orders Chatterbeak to fly above and act as a sentry.
Really? I hate to think what you would do if a murder you were about to chop in half fainted. Would you wake him, give him his weapon, THEN run him though?...We can discuss that later. How about we bind his hands and walk him to a location safe to us and go from there? We are rather exposed at the moment.
Well, I am obviously only a newcomer. It is the groups descision, unless you have a nominated leader?
Not to be a pessimist, but if you all are here by charter the mans sentence is clear. He is a bandit. That generally involves unprovoked attacks and murder, often rape if women are involved. You would be taking a massive chance in a place that likely does not possess a jail to hold him. Fact is at a minimum he is guilty of the robbery and kidnapp and torture of the 3 of us. Crimes that easily earn him a death sentence in any court. I am merely speaking as a matter of law.
Deacon nods at the young man, but keeps his focus on the bandit, Well?
Chatterbeak, return.
Start at the boss and we can go from there. Speak plainly, as though your lofe depends upon it. Because it does.
I know what we're supposed to do with him.... Having lost interest in the theif, Deacon starts fetching a horse to attach the wagon to..
There is a Curved sword here amongst the pile Deacon hands the sword to the young man. Your magic was...Impressive, during the fight. What manner of spellcaster are you? Some sort of cleric?
Deacon collects everything into the pile, looking at it with disdain. There was nothing he could use. He casts on the loot, just in case.
Well, lets get ourselves in order shall we? I'm afraid I was foolishly travelling alone when beset by these thugs. Capable as I am with magic, I have my limits. My I offer my services as a mage to you good fellows? You did come on writ to clear these lands, I assume?
Feel free to disarm it or use a long stick. No need to hurt yourself before we decide what to do with you. And my sword and spellbook you lot took from me better be in there. While Kastus maintains a sword point at the the bandit, Deacon starts removing all visible weapons from the dead bandits belts and quivers and chucking them in the centre of the group.
Deacon stands, quite struck by the display and refocuses on the bandit and the loot. I don't suppose any of you can remove that trap? Or we can have the thief here set it off
Deacon quickly runs over to examine the giant, who's largely saved his life. He looks bad, are any of you a healer?
Is my longsword and spellbook amongst it? They better be.
Deacon looks at the armored warrior.
He refocuses on the bandit. We're still waiting for answers
How are we going?
Having dropped the tree Bandit, Deacon moves back towards his very large 'friend' and starts looting the bodies. Speak then, for the laws reguarding bandits are clear. What you say had better be worth your life.
Sup?
He speaks loudly and coldly, Actually I believe we are legally required to rid this place of Bandits!
As the Healing energies wash over him, Deacon takes in a sharp breath. Gahh! I'm awake! Where's that son of a...
Just curious. Will you allow Deacon to wear a Hamakari? I know it's eastern, but many cultures used it under other names. Roman wore it for example. It's basically an armored belly belt. I was planning to have Adriel wear it+ an armored kilt. For a whopping +2 to AC that won't affect casting. Not sure it your cool with it cause it's listed as Eastern. If not i'll still wear the kilt. |
