female Human Rogue 1

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25 - Perception

Gabrille looks carefully to see if there's an unobtrusive way into the house.


female Human Rogue 1

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21 - Stealth

Gabrielle stays inconspicuous and tries to pick up the bits of information people don't want to tell her.


female Human Rogue 1

Back. Khashana should re-surface tomorrow.


female Human Rogue 1

Note that Khashana's getting married this weekend and Gabrielle is going to the wedding - likely no posting from either of us for a couple of days.


female Human Rogue 1

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17 - Streetwise

Gabrielle tries to remember a shortcut she vaguely remembers through the market place to the Tower.


female Human Rogue 1

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15 - Streetwise

Gabrielle starts by asking what any of the bystanders saw about where the creature may have come from.


female Human Rogue 1

Looks like a majority here, so I'll go with it.


female Human Rogue 1

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 - attack damage
2d8 + 2 ⇒ (1, 4) + 2 = 7 - sneak attack damage

Gabrielle finally sees the opening she's been waiting for. Stepping towards the misty haunt, she sidesteps unexpectedly and jabs her dagger down hard.

Move to G12.
Shift to H13 as part of Acrobatic Strike


female Human Rogue 1

"Thanks"

Gabrielle flashes a smile at her friends.

HP: 12/24
Temp HP: 5
Surges per day 5/7
Surge value: 6
AP: 1


female Human Rogue 1

Gabrielle shakes herself and momentarily contemplates crepes. The she ranges alongside Boxer.

"You're going noplace, misty."

Second wind. +2 all defenses to start next turn.
Move to F11.
12/24hp
5/7 surges
Still bloodied


female Human Rogue 1

Ouch. On 6hp. Second wind coming up.

"It's a misty blob. I refuse to be obliterated by a misty blob."

Gabrielle thinks hard about doughnuts to take her mind of the agonising pain.


female Human Rogue 1

Eeek - most enormous apologies.

Moving swiftly to flank with Boxer, Gabrielle hunts for a weakness and finds it.

Move to G5
Probing Strike (AC). Effect: +1 to next attack roll against the target before end next turn
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27
1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 - attack damage
2d8 + 2 ⇒ (6, 5) + 2 = 13 - sneak attack damage


female Human Rogue 1

Still delaying until after Boxer. Need someone to flank with :)

Gabrielle waits, poised, for a better moment.


female Human Rogue 1

Delaying until after Raivek. Need to start getting some sneak attack damage on this thing.


female Human Rogue 1

Ick. Not a lot Gabrielle can do at this point. Was she ever in the wrong place at the start of this encounter.
Move to H10.

Acrobatic Strike (AC)
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Shift to G9 behind the pillar as part of the power.

"Will you just get out of here?"

Panting from her attempts to get down the stairs and vowing to lose a little weight soon, Gabrielle pauses to warn the bystanders that staying around is going to be a bad idea. As she speaks, her dagger flies from her hand and towards the mist.


female Human Rogue 1

That's good news. The job, not the posting being limited.


female Human Rogue 1

I'm being dumb, I know, but I can't see how the second floor map links to the first floor or if I can see the first floor at all from the second floor. Essentially, what she'll do is get down the stairs as fast as possible, but if she can see the mist to attack it before she arrives, she will.

"Get back and stay back. Well away from that mist," Gabrielle advises her potential customers, while drawing her still serviceable dagger and heading for the stairs.


female Human Rogue 1

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25 - init

"No. Not here."


female Human Rogue 1

Gabrielle waves at him.

"All of us, then. Looks like Gurdang picked up a new nanny job."

Then she falls silent, listening to the speeches.


female Human Rogue 1

"Prospered and learned to cook. It's good to see you too, Boxer. I think you're right. All of us, except Gurdang. I'd like to see him again."


female Human Rogue 1

"There's no need to look like that. I've learned to use ingredients now."

Gabrielle whispers very quietly so as not to break the solemnity of the moment.


female Human Rogue 1

Gabrielle wipes her sticky hands clean and listens intently, curiously noting comrades from the past in the crowd. She tentatively greets them, while contemplating new recipes. Whatever Bren ir'Gadden's opinions, a lot of people have a sweet tooth and she's grateful for the chance to gain custom.


female Human Rogue 1

"What about your assistant?"

Gabrielle abruptly remembers Bren ir'Gadden's stricken comrade.

"He still needs help."

Yes to time slip, but just clearing up loose ends. Map works fine.


female Human Rogue 1

"Thanks. You're good people, Khashana. Strange, but good. Besides, where's he going to run to? I don't think anything out there is still alive."

Gabrielle looks unusually serious as the horror of the mist finally sink in.


female Human Rogue 1

Anyone got a decent Intimidate roll they can offer?


female Human Rogue 1

"I'm not killing you in cold blood."

She turns away.

Good aligned.


female Human Rogue 1

"Do you have a preference?"

Gabrielle turns her attention to the Sergeant.


female Human Rogue 1

"Good. Can you get on with that then. I want you out of here."

Gabrielle eats another lump of Turkish Delight.


female Human Rogue 1

"Khashana, can you read this idiot's mind before Amyrielle loses her patience?"


female Human Rogue 1

Does Bren ir'Gadden like doughnuts?


female Human Rogue 1

Spoiler:
After the War, Gabrielle turned her sweet tooth to good use and now runs a small doughnut stand in Sharn. She's now very fat, but her old skills mean nobody gets away with theft. She overhears a lot of gossip.

Whose memorial service is it?


female Human Rogue 1

Init: +8
HP: 18/24
Temp HP: 0
Surges per day 6/7
Surge value: 6

Acrobatic Strike (AC) - shift one before or after attack
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
2d8 + 2 ⇒ (1, 2) + 2 = 5 - sneak attack damage

Gabrielle nods her thanks at the runepriest before ducking under Boxer's arm, circling, and sinking her dagger into the oncoming man.

"Doing my best..." she murmurs to Amyrielle as she passes.

I've never rolled two crits in an encounter before. Controlled Peasant gets 24hp full in the back.


female Human Rogue 1

"Well, I don't know do I? I'm not the one that beats people with with their own brains, I just hit stuff and eat sweets."


female Human Rogue 1

Khashana, the sky isn't anything to do with you, is it?

Gabrielle risks a quick glance upwards as the battle unfolds.


female Human Rogue 1

"Ah. Do you think she might have shared her plan with the sergeants?, Gabrielle thinks back hopefully.


female Human Rogue 1

"Problem?" Gabrielle looks questioningly at Khashana for guidance.


female Human Rogue 1

Move to G11
Acrobatic Strike (AC) on S1. Effect, can shift 1 square before or after attack.
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 - no CA, so no sneak attack damage, alas.
Shift back to G10.
Bloodied. 12/24hp

Darting in and out of the fray, Gabrielle attempts to finish the first sergeant.


female Human Rogue 1

"I like that you mean what you say."

Gabrielle nods approvingly as the woman falls at Amyrielle's feet.


female Human Rogue 1

Pretty sure that's Bren ir'Gadden and that A is his assistant. I hope so anyway.


female Human Rogue 1

"It doesn't look as though your companions are that willing to me."

Gabrielle stows her sweet bag and strolls casually towards Mallora, spinning at the last second and sending an experimental dagger twirling through the air.

Move to F9
Probing Strike. Effect: +1 to attack rolls against target to end next turn.
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
2d8 + 2 ⇒ (2, 1) + 2 = 5 - Gets to use Sneak Attack as going before an enemy has acted.
Down to 7 daggers

Oooh. Crit. 8 plus 18. 26 damage to Mallora


female Human Rogue 1

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20 - init

"Bad contract. No deal."


female Human Rogue 1

Looks fine to me.


female Human Rogue 1

Gabrielle is one of my very few skill-light pcs.

Gabrielle cleans her daggers and waits to find out what's happening.

"Another sword arm won't hurt," she says indistinctly through a mouthful of boiled sweet.


female Human Rogue 1

"Prophecy is all very well, but leaving people tied up is just basically wrong."

Gabrielle goes to work on the ropes. "By the way," she adds, "prove me wrong and I'll not worry about stabbing you."

"Dragonmarked," she mutters to herself. "All the same. Propecy-obsessed. Maybe someone translated it wrong years ago."


female Human Rogue 1

"I don't think it's right leaving folks for kutchik and dolgrim bait. Khashana?"


female Human Rogue 1

"Have a sweet. They're very good for shock. I came because I'm protecting someone. Who are you?"

Gabrielle offers her sticky bag of bullseyes.


female Human Rogue 1

In good and bad news, I'm about to buy a new computer. This means no more frantic fan noise and abrupt crashing - I hope. It also means I may be offline for a while until I get everything reinstalled. Apologies if I vanish without warning and DMPC as needed.


female Human Rogue 1

Not using any surges, but only 2hp below max.

"Oh yes. You're paying us. Your call."


female Human Rogue 1

"This way."

EDIT

"Unless anyone needs a bit of a sit down first?"


female Human Rogue 1

Move to H13
Deft Strike (can move two before attack) to H14 flanking with Gurdang
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 plus 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (3, 2) + 2 = 7 - if relevant.

"Eesh. Insects. They get into my sweet bags."

Unfeasibly annoyed by the last Kuthrik, Gabrielle moves like a tiger on vaseline and strikes.
