Ederin casts on his favorite spell on his bow, clicks his heels and stalks closer to the the guards, trying to keep out of sight until the party is ready to act.

Gravity Bow
Fast Stealth: 1d20 + 18 + 4 - 5 ⇒ (4) + 18 + 4 - 5 = 21

Intimidate: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

As he speaks Ederin pulls out two arrow and points them directly at one of the guards groin. He muses momentarily at how sluggish the language feels now. He knows he pronounced everything correctly, but maybe not perfectly.

He waits to see how the guards respond, and hopes the others can follow the bluff.

Ederin nods in agreement with Dimitrio. He highly doubts they're out of the woods. He's not as eager as the rest to leave, but he knows their time is running out and he'd rather not die before he could see sun light again.

He frowns at Allarnons comment, worried the bear-man has just given Alacavniss a carrot to dangle in front of his face.

Ederin keeps quiet on the way back to report their success. He wipes the tracks of his party members, keeping them untrackable, and looking over his shoulder, just in case they were being followed anyway.

Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18

If Allarnon needs help carrying Tarkir, he assists, still quiet. Shutting his mouth was the only way he knew how to mourn and show respect, even when Al threatens their success by exposing his rage at Alicavniss, Ederin keeps quiet. It had been a long time since he's lost any friends, he'd almost forgotten what it felt like, but the wound had been reopened, the old sting returned. At least a drow body was perfectly made for brooding.

Ederin takes a moment to look over Tarkir. His face is emotionless, but there's a slight trembling in his hands. Without speaking he places a hand on Allarnon's shoulder and awkwardly pats it twice. He silently whispers a prayer to Erastil, not wanting to risk it out loud, then he leans down and ruffles the Tarkir's fur. "Hunt well."

When the guard questions them, Ederin takes the lead. "What did Orvignato mean about back up? Give me a good answer, and this place is yours, we don't need a hovel like this. Give me a poor one and you'll be staying in that room over there." Ederin points to the curtained area with the bodies to make his point clear.

Ederin stand where he is, waiting patiently for Orvignato to reveal himself. If Kaylayne discovers his location he unloads immediately, if not, he waits and leaves himself open for attack, so he can immediately fire a return volley. If he doesn't take advantage of the AoO, Ederin holds action until after Orvignato.

Damage: 2d6 + 3 + 6 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (3, 6) + 3 + 6 + 6 + 1 = 25

Ederin I ignores the sudden flash back of being thrown from a falling tower and lines up his bow with the fleeing Orvignato.

"You bet wrong." He says under his breath, hoping he's right, he releases, firing as many arrows as he can and hoping he can end this now.

Attack: 1d20 + 17 + 6 - 3 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 17 + 6 - 3 - 2 + 1 = 24

Damage: 4d6 + 6 + 12 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (3, 4, 3, 1) + 6 + 12 + 12 + 1 = 42

At the sound of Orvignato screaming, Ederin steps out from his safe spot and spots the drow attacking Kaylayne. He quickly focuses on the target and fires as many arrows as he can toward the ceiling, making use of every technique he knows.

Attack: 1d20 + 17 + 6 - 3 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 17 + 6 - 3 - 2 = 33
Damage: 2d6 + 3 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 1) + 3 + 6 + 6 = 18

Attack: 1d20 + 12 + 6 - 3 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 12 + 6 - 3 - 2 = 26
Damage: 2d6 + 3 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 5) + 3 + 6 + 6 = 23

Hearing who he can only assume if their target shouting threats from above, Ederin slows his attacks just a little bit, saving his energy for the real thing.

He fires a few arrows at Red, then purple if Red drops.

Attack: 1d20 + 17 - 3 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 17 - 3 - 2 = 18
Damage: 2d6 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (1, 3) + 3 + 6 = 13

Attack: 1d20 + 12 - 3 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 12 - 3 - 2 = 8
Damage: 2d6 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (6, 5) + 3 + 6 = 20

Seeing as he's been left alone for the most part, Ederin keeps firing, this time focusing on the two drow attacking Tarkir, hoping to free the smaller bear up to help out the rest.

Target priority: Pink first, then yellow, blue, or red if they're still up.

Attack: 1d20 + 17 - 3 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 17 - 3 - 2 = 27

Damage: 2d6 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (2, 1) + 3 + 6 = 12

Knowing Allarnon and Tarkir can hold their own for a little while, Ederin takes aim again and fires another handful of arrows at the drow.

Surprise Round: Init 14
Ederin, seeing the rest of the party move on the guards, casts gravity bow on his weapon and scans the crowd for any drow who feel they might want to get in on the fight.

Round 1: Init 14

Planning to make an example out of a few armed drow, Ederin clicks his heels and fires a barrage of arrows into the crowd. Attacks start with yellow, move counter clockwise

Attack: 1d20 + 17 - 3 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 17 - 3 - 2 = 18
Damage: 2d6 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (2, 2) + 3 + 6 = 13

Damage: 2d6 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (4, 4) + 3 + 6 = 17

As Lief returns to the party, Ederin follows him back. He doesn't sit but positions himself so he can keep an eye on the drow with the wooden spear, who he points out to the rest of his group.

"Don't know if he's been sent to make sure we do the job, or sent to clean us up after the job is done. Might not be a Vonnarc at all, but we should keep an eye on him whatever we do next." Ederin scowls as he watches the lone drow, while he waits to see what they do about the guards upstairs. He keeps his bow in hand, so they all know he's ready for a fight if need be.

Ederin has been focusing on the one drow in the building that doesn't seem afraid of him. He mostly misses Kaylayne's call to action, but Allarnon takes care of it, so he shrugs it off and watches Lief handle his strange drink.

When the younger man takes off upstairs Ederin stays in his spot, locking eyes with the spear wielding drow headed his way. He tries to size him up, judging his intent through body language, not sure if he's about to get into a real fight or a friendly bar brawl. Assuming drow have friendly bar brawls anyway. He thinks, remembering the pile of organs Allarnon left at their now clean table.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 29

Fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

THe haze catches Ederin off guard, something that surprises him given the number of thieves dens he's frequented over the years. He coughs a few times but eventually gets used to it, sort of. The scowl he always wears might be a bit stronger than usual, but he hopes it'll just keep other drow away from them while Lief works the diplomatic end.

Keeping with the image of a hired guard, he keeps his hands on his weapons at all times, and generally tries to look angry and deadly. An image he'd perfected as a human, but one he still wasn't entirely sure how to pull off as a drow.

Intimidate: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

I assume my roll turned up nothing about Orvignato?

"How any of you lived a day in Riddleport, I'll never know." Ederin says with a huff as they move toward the Venom Kiss.

"Our 'drow mistress' denied us riding lizards, I don't actually answer to Kaylayne and I plan on buying one at first chance, to ride it, or use it as a distraction, I haven't decided yet."

He pulls out his bow as they move, any false sense of security completely gone, and he keeps a close eye for any movement as they continue on. He does his best to look more like a body guard, and less like a nervous drow.

"And once we're out of the city I can cover our tracks. Whatever way we flee, I can make it difficult for them to follow us. Right now lets focus on keeping our new ally, because like it or not, she's the only one who might provide the information that makes sure we don't have a star dropped on us if and when we make it home."

Ederin casts barkskin on himself when they get near enough their destination.

Ederin's eyes go wide as Lief tells all. He's not surprised one of them eventually cracked, he's just surprised at how much detail the young man gives away. We'd probably be dead if we called her bluff though, regardless of the story.

He keeps his focus on the woman as she process the information and discusses the spell that gave them their new bodies. When she provides them with a new assignment, Ederin thinks back on anything he may have heard while in the city, hoping he may know something about Orvignato's combat abilities.

K. Local: Orvignato: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Ederin focuses on Alicavniss as she begins her accusations. Every minor adjustment in her body language his eyes follow, he calculates her speed, her defenses and her threat level. His hands stay off his bow for now, but he starts to mentally prepare for battle, just in case. He says nothing, and waits to see if Lief and Kaylayne have condemned them or not.

Ranger's Focus on Alicavniss. It's not a spell, so I don't believe she would be aware of it.

"None." Ederin says, hoping he's not out of turn, throwing an apologetic look towards Kaylayne, just in case. "When Nolveniss died so did our connection to the House, which is why we left, and returned underground, rather than stay on the surface. It was on our return that we met your man, I'm sure you know the rest."

He pauses long enough to for anyone else to interject or tell him to be quiet, but otherwise keeps talking for a moment longer.

"We were curious about what part we had played in their designs on the surface, which is why we made use of your library. Our loyalty is still with house Vonnarc, of course."

Ederin stares at Kaylayne incredulously when she asks Dimitrio to speak, and finds himself holding his breath as the bard begins to tell their story, half expecting him to invite Alicavniss to his bed.

He relaxes as Dimitrio gives a reasonable version of their cover story, and even almost sounds like a natural drow when he describes the surface. He keeps his hands free though, so he can grab his bow if needed, just in case.

Ederin scowls when he hears the second son speak the elven word. Despite knowing a language or two himself, he's always had trouble with pronunciation and slows his pace, letting the rest of the group go before him so he can hear the word a few more times.

"G-gitavwyn." He mutters under his breath when the rest have started to float. He almost breathes a sigh of relief when it works but maintains his composure.

He wonders, briefly how much Lief wants to tear into the tomes as they pass, but any musings are cut short then they arrive at their destination and the second son leaves, closing them into the room with Alicavniss. When the woman motions to the seats, Ederin takes a seat near the edge of the table, briefly picks up a surface fruit and raises an eyebrow at it before putting it back down. Hoping he looks disgusted or confused.

Ederin looks at Allarnon and just shrugs. He's impressed by the room, but doesn't quite understand it's purpose, and he's still anxious about the summons. He keeps his sense sharp, hoping to hear when someone approaches, or maybe even anyone in the room who may be invisible.

Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22

Given that they just had some privileges revoked, Ederin makes sure he at least has a full quiver before marching with the rest to Undamesta. Since they were ordered to be prepared anyway it doesn't look out of place, but he makes sure every weapon he has is ready to be used at a moments notice.

"Let's see what comes next." He mutters as they head out.

Ederin stiffens when the guards arrive in the library on the second day, but he manages to keep his hands away from his weapons.

Looks like we've attracted attention. He thinks, trying to determine what he should do.

"Well, Mistress, I believe we were just wrapping up anyway. SO much for catching up on current events." He shrugs, trying to appear casual as he stands from his seat and moves to Kaylayne's side. He looks over the two guards, wondering if they have perhaps received any bloodier orders to carry out, but otherwise waits for Kaylayne's response.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19

"We either come up with a plan or just leave. We are all being affected by this society."

"Which is why he and I" Ederin points to Lief, "have been to the library, have been to the city, have looked at exit strategies, because we've had a plan. Unless your torture was somehow useful to us I'm failing to remember exactly what you've provided that weren't complaints."

Scowling, and tired from having tailed the party, Ederin finds his anger boiling up, and Dimitrio his underserved target. He's not wrong about this place affecting us. Hoping to avoid another argument, he turns to Kaylayne. "I don't know how much Vonnarc will have about current events in the library, but I'll come help you look if you don't mind. I tried the city but, talking to people isn't my forte."

Ederin raises an eyebrow at Lief as he realizes he'd misinterpreted the young mans comment. "Well, not being good at torturing someone isn't the worst quality."

As Dimitrio questions their objective the archer shakes his head. "Remember what brought us here? The falling star? We were tasked with discovering the plans of House Azinrae. We have a couple weeks, maybe less, but unless I'm mistaken we've made zero progress on that front."

" Avoiding being followed is as easy a feat as torturing a drow for information."

"You're getting cocky. The reason we're so hard to track is because I've put in the effort to keep it that way. Under most circumstances I can't be tracked. That's not confidence, that's fact. That they could tail us even through my efforts is no small feat."

Ederin shrugs then looks at Allarnon. "We could have done that, before Undamesta dragged us into this. She knows that we're privy to information, which means we're either going to be more involved, or heavily watched. In any case, I'm pretty sure we're in the thick of it from now on."

"You know, you're all fairly terrible at making sure you aren't followed."

Ederin walks up behind the rest of the party as Lief and Kaylayne continue their discussion.

"I found a couple drow following us, dispatched one, but the other got away. I've been cleaning out your tracks to make sure none of us are followed again. To be honest I'm not sure how they followed us so well to begin with, since I'm usually doing that anyway. This Second Son seems to have a few capable trackers on his hands. Whether we're helping him, or otherwise, we should take note of the fact that he keeps capable company."

Ederin shows no emotion as he looks over the dead drow in the pool of blood, wondering if he knows any of them. As Kalyane requests more information from Undamesta he sizes up the matron, trying to see if she's nervous, or just angry.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20

When Dimitrio suggests scouting ahead, Ederin nods. "Right, I'll go along with you. Between the two of us we should be able to find an unoccupied route out of here." If given leave, he stalks off into the house, keeping out of sight as much as possible. He takes whatever route Dimitrio doesn't and reports back, hoping they can move unseen instead of getting into any confrontation.

Stealth: 1d20 + 18 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 18 + 4 = 31

Let's hope I can be found afterward...

Given that you may have me sit out, would you prefer I not respond to the most recent post?

Starting tomorrow I'll be on vacation until the 8th. I'll post when able but you will likely need to bot quite a bit.

Ederin will ask among the group if anyone wants to go into the city with him one or twice in the week. His main goal is to see if he can hear anything about what House Azinrae is up to, especially regarding pulling stars from the sky, but he also just wants to get out of the house on occasion, staying in one place too long makes him anxious.

Trip 1:Gather Information: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (4) + 0 = 4
Trip 2:Gather Information: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (8) + 0 = 8

Out of curiosity, have we earned better status in the House over the last week or so? I ask because Ederin tried to go out into the city once or twice previously but it was your recommendation that it might be seen in a poor light, but now it seems we can without issue (so far anyway)? Just trying to gauge how much leeway and status we have.

Ederin raises an eyebrow as Kaylayne misses his point.

"If House Vonnarc can keep track of us through their rings, could House Azinrae be watching us as well through theirs?" He hopes he wont regret saying it outloud, not knowing the nature of drow rivalries.

"If they can, if the are, then they may have been watching since before we arrived. That's a liability."

Ederin, provided he has House Vonnarcs permission, will go to the library and study any information the house has on local geography, hoping to find a viable means of escape, using the excuse that it's beneficial to know where the driders may have been headed, or to find where they may go if any more escape.

K. Geography: 1d20 + 12 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 12 + 4 = 36

I'll take the charges off my wand.

Did he just heal that drider? That's going to get around the House.

Ederin scowls, thinking they would have been better off killing the driders, that's what had been expected of them, but he wasn't going to argue with Kaylane now that they had ears that could report back to others in the house.

Instead he says nothing, and leads the way back home, keeping an eye on their captives when he gets a chance.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30

Fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25 No Str Damage

Ederin worries briefly that his arms might fail him as he takes the drider bite. The bowstring feels like it might slip from his grasp at any moment but his aim remains steady as he fires his barrage.

He curses, both at the arrows bouncing off the driders harmlessly and at his increasingly worse situation but he rolls the dice one more time hoping to stay on top.

I don't think my new spot is on the pillar but if it is just keep me where I was and I'll take both AoO's

Ederin clicks his heels, takes a step back, prays again, then pulls back his bow and fires as many arrows as he can into the driders.

Reflex: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

Seeing Lief move through reds reach without much interference, Ederin moves in for his second gamble of the dead. Moving through the webs and the tentacles and the bear to come out on the other side of Allarnon.

Pulling his bow back he fires a single arrow at Red and prays to his god that he makes it through the next few seconds.

Attack: 1d20 + 16 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 16 + 2 + 1 = 28
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5

The driders eyes are stronger than I thought. So much for stealth. Ederin thinks as he feels the all too familiar feeling of lightning coursing through his body. He grtis his teeth through it, thankfully with his reflexes he'd been able to avoid most of the tendrils seeking to burn his flesh. Even the web failed to grip him as it formed around him.
Reflex: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 11 + 2 + 2 = 25 12dmg
Reflex: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 11 + 2 + 2 = 35 11dmg
Reflex: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 11 + 2 = 26 not grappled

Taking advantage of the cover provided by the web, Ederin casts a protective spell he berates himself for not casting after the last fight. He stays nested in the webs for now, hoping he can pull himself free easily enough when a better opening provides itself.

Protection from Energy: Electricity

Round 1 - Addendum

Given that i'm momentarily blinded, I'll follow the second options for movement that I gave. Apply any negatives to my stealth roll that are necessary.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Ederin hadn't expected the light to be so bright. He'd forgotten how sensitive his eyes would be, but he'd already committed to pushing ahead.
He tries to keep himself low, hoping the driders are as blinded by the light as he is.

"You can hear them casting. The longer we wait the stronger they are, we need to move."

He waits long enough to see if Lief or Kay brighten the area, then Ederin clicks his heels and moves into the tunnel not waiting for approval. Having to stop between every action and wait for Kaylayne's approval will take way too much work. As he moves he commands his sword to light, improving his vision

He raises his bow as he moves and fires on the first drider that he see's, if there are multiple driders in sight he'll target any that still seem to be casting.

Attack: 1d20 + 16 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 16 + 1 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Taking a hint from Kaylayne, and letting Lief do the talking, Ederin follows silently his mistress, drawing his bow as he moves. He sees Dimitrio move up without trying to stay hidden and wonders if he'll draw fire long enough for his bow and Kay's spells to finish any driders that appear.

Stealth: 1d20 + 17 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 17 + 2 = 29

"We still have more to catch, let's take these heads then get the others, We can torture them when we find them if you're so inclined." Ederin says as he decapitates the drider who had tried to escape and waits for someone to do the same to the other.

When everyone is ready he picks up the tracking where he left off, hoping the rest of the escaped creatures haven't gone much farther than these two.

Track: 1d20 + 14 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 14 + 4 + 2 = 31

Ederin slashes at the retreating drider hoping to stop it dead in its tracks.

Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Will wait to see if I drop the drow before taking my full turn.

Reflex: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31

"We can't let it get away and warn the others!" Ederin clicks his heels and rushes headlong into the web. He's slowed by sticking strands but thanks to his added speed it's almost evened out. As he moved he straps his bow to his back and draws his longsword.

I guess I'm reckless even as a drow. He thinks to himself as he bursts through the web and reaches the drider on the otherside, hoping he hasn't just condemned himself.

Double Move. Movement is 120 ft with boots activated.

To answer your question about the initiative bonus, in my favored terrains the whole group always gets +2 regardless of how high my personal bonus is.
