Liberty's Edge

Thanks again for stepping up to finish this game.

"I really wish you had surrendered peacefully," says Dhane regretfully.

We're flanking, but without higher ground, I think you said?
Melee Attack (Greatsword): 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 2 = 152d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 4) + 6 = 12

I think I should be up at the top, according to what you said and my climb check

"Dru! Grab her weapon!", Dhane shouts as he draws his large sword. His friendly face steels in concentration as he swings his sword at Goldtooth.

Melee (Greatsword): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 82d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 2) + 6 = 11

This includes +1 for higher ground and +2 for flanking. I'm assuming I have higher ground as she's on the ladder and I assume I can flank with Raijan?

Very nice about the liberation part.

Dhane is a vagrant; no day job.

Dhane looks for an alternate route to the top of the ladder and starts to free-hand climb.

Climb: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

The ladder must be against a building or something. I'm going to try to climb to the top of it, not using the ladder so I can assist Raijan. Double move.

Oh, they're still on the ladder! I was going to grab her so that she could be questioned. If I can grab her, I'll do the "grab her" option. If she's too high up, I'll throw my little ring.

*Grab Her (preferred option)*
Dhane grabs Goldtooth, trying to restrain her.

Grapple: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

I moved Dhane since I didn't do so on Dru's turn

Dhane continues to make his way through the crowd towards his quarry.

I'm not getting the map to load on my phone. I'll move when I get home unless someone wants to move me

Dhane fights his way though the crowd to try to come to Raijan's aid.

Full move (20' + 20') to where I am on the map. I have a 0% success chance for Intimidate, but I'll try Diplomacy next round perhaps.

Dhane tries to follow the figure, guided by Druaga.

As Dhane speaks to Lady Qualstair, his eyes scan the crowd instead of regarding her.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

"All this business with prophecies and doom sure has us jumpy," he says without humor in his voice.

"You like these yellow berries? They somethin' special?"

I'm going to post this out of order if you don't mind, just in case I can't post promptly when it's my turn

"If you don't mind, Ms. Foxglove, I'll stay close to you. Attracting a large crowd is a good cover if someone wants to do you harm and I'd like to be in the position to thwart an attempt."

Don't think I can beat Raijan's roll. It's up to someone with a charisma bonus -- Bailey, Rose, or Baldaril

Edit:
Also, I'm not clear about something: Is there a hole in the wall or ceiling big enough to let this thing in? I can't tell by the map.

I'm not sure where "In the front" is, so I approximated. I'm rolling Druaga's rolls here to save space.

Sense Motive: 1d20 ⇒ 12

Dru's Sense Motive: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
Dru's Knowledge (Arcana): 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (4) - 2 = 2

Perception (DC 15): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Perception (DC 18): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Dhane shakes his head disdainfully at Raijan for a moment, and then suddenly a devilish grin crosses his face.

"Hey, Dru. I'd bet you'd fit in an egg real nice and be able to pop out and give that lady a nasty surprise. Bet that'd teach her not to go around tryin' to eat intelligent folk. Just a shame we don't have any magic to make you look like a baby."

Dhane looks about, measuring up the dragons flitting back and forth.

They're sure causing a lot of havoc, but they're not hurting anyone," he ponders. "The way they're rummaging about... It's almost as if they're looking for something."

Dhane turns to the group, "I guess the guests are scared, but safe enough. I think I'd like to head into the bedrooms and see if I can't figure out what those little dragons are looking for, if they are looking for something."

I'll head into B5 and see if I can't get a response in Common or Elven as to what they're trying to find

"Dru! Keep after those papers! I'm going to help this kid!"

Strength check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

Reflex save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Catching: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

"Ugh! Ooch! Dru!", Dhane yells. "Catch the papers flying out, Dru!"

He yells down the hole. "Baldaril! Are you okay, Baldaril?!"

Dhane hesitates briefly, then sees the Tengu walk across the room. His face adjusts to the situation and he moves forward to back him up in case foul play materializes.

Dhane reaches the top if the stairs and casts a weary smile back at his companions. He puts his hand on the large sword strapped to his back and flexes his body, ready for action. After a brief moment, he allows his hand fall without drawing the sword as his bidy relaxes.

Everyone deserves a chance, he decides. This is almost certain to devolve into violence, but these people don't need us to make that decision for them..

Dhane calmly raises a mailed fist to the door and politely raps, then concentrates on hearing any commotion from inside.

Going to knock on the door then listen

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

"Yeah, Raijan, I think yer right," says Dhane, putting a hand on the large sword strapped to his back. "We probably will make life better fer them and theirs by doin' this."

Dhane makes his way to the stairs and casts a glance over his shoulder at the rest of the group before starting his way up. Maybe Galt's endless war has made me paranoid, but I seen too many folks fall to insurgents to trust that these mercs haven't made a contingency plan. He proceeds up the stairs slowly, inspecting the stairwell for malicious meddling.

Checking the stairs for traps as I move up them, as this would be a good place for traps to be

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Thanks for looking out for us, TTS.

…And I hope everything is going well, IDM72, and that finals turned out okay.

Dhane casts a wary glance at the people hanging around to see if any conspicuously leave as the group starts asking questions about the fortuneteller.

Wait, is this place a tavern or just an abandoned building where these people squat?

Dhane puts on a friendly face, "We sure would appreciate the help, kid. She's the older lady who looks a little Elven."

Diplomacy (aid): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

Dhane gives a nod to Kaminari Raijan and another to Bailey to let them know that he'll back them up, following their lead. "I hope this doesn't turn into trouble," he says to them under his breath. "But if it does, I'm sure the guards would appreciate it if we don't kill anyone..."

whoops. Student of Philosophy doesn't make diplomacy a class skill. Take 3 off of that aid roll for a total of 14

"I think you're right about that. I'll chat up a few locals, too, and see what we can find," says Dhane. "In the meantime, how ‘bout you fly around the marketplace, Dru, and see if anything matches up to The Betrayal, The Unicorn, or The Cricket."

Aid: Diplomacy(Gather Info): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Perception (Druaga): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Darned Student of Philosophy not applying to Gather Info…

Dhane pauses and gives a grin. "I guess I should take you up on that fortune tellin' before I go, though."

Harrow Draw: 1d10 ⇒ 9

"Me n' Dru, here, we're used to dealin' with the arcane. Part of our trainin'," Dhane says, along with a serious glance.

"These cards, what were they? What did ya find out about 'em? Can ya tell us 'bout the other cards from the readings? I can't imagine that Varisian fortunetellers would be too terribly rare in these parts. If we can't track down yours, we might be able to find someone who can tell us somethin'. Don't want to take those cards out of context, of course, so the full reading would be mighty handy."

Saying that with a straight face as I suddenly realized that I didn't put any points into Know(Arcane) or Spellcraft

“In my experience, if someone wants you dead then all you have to do is wait and they'll eventually have their turn on the gallows. Of course, things probably work differently in these parts.” Dhane grins under his moustache, “Even considering bounties, this is a better lookin’ group than the type I usually work with.”

A sturdily-built man with yellow hair tied back into a ponytail and a bush of facial hair hiding a slight grin sizes up the crowd of Eodred’s Square as he crosses into the plaza. He cocks his head slightly to talk to a reddish shadow on his shoulder, "Flit around n' see if there's anything of interest. If you see anything out of place, just lemme know. I'm gonna go find a guard n' get this letter sorted out... After I browse a shop or two. Maybe I'll get lucky n' find this Foxglove's Green Market."

The bird on Dhane's shoulder flies into the air to get a better vantage point, but is preoccupied by the cat, as birds often are.

Dhane and Dru reporting in.

Sorry about not responding earlier -- I thought I got passed over for this game. I'll fill out my info tonight.

I'm interested.

Just to let you know, this is my first PbP and I'd be bringing a new character (Fighter, Wizard, Rogue, or Gunslinger, depending).
