"Hit the zombie!" Gyles sings out!

starting bardic performance - inspire courage
Next round continue performance and cast summon instrument
Out of town to perform a wedding this weekend, sorry for no or/drunk posts.

Gyles, having waited on the shore, shakes his head and trudges out to the now open manhole.
Climb: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 Fail by less than 5, no progress?
He slips a bit on the way down and pauses to make sure he's secure before continuing on.
Climb: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11
And finally reaches the bottom safely.

"It's quite dark down here, maybe we should have some..."

Gyles puts his palms together in front of him then rapidly draws them apart, four globes of light springing into existence between them as he does so.

"Light!"

Grapples: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (6) - 3 = 31d20 - 3 ⇒ (4) - 3 = 1
I really hope you get him Sam, because I didn't :(

Grapple attempt on Barley: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 81d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Can I assume since Sundur is unconscious I don't need to roll to maintain a grapple on her?

Grapple: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16

Hearing Barley's shout, Gyles turns to Sundur attempting to pull her out of the water.

Not really sure what action it would be to get someone's head above water or if it'd require a roll.
Also, maintaining Inspire Courage as a free action.

Gyles will continue his Inspire Courage Bardic Performance as a free action. He will also move up to the bug and attack with his rapier. Note that this is piercing damage.
Rapier attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17Rapier damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Seeing Sundur go down and the bug move on to Barley, Gyles dashes into the water, attempting to skewer it on the blade of his rapier.

"That'll take too long! This is faster!"

So... is it dead?

Gyles draws his rapier and begins to sing out in a loud voice a song that causes everyone to feel more courageous.

Move: Draw rapier. Standard: Begin Bardic Performance, Inspire Courage (audible components only)
Allies who can hear Gyles get:
+1 competence bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls
+1 morale bonus on saves against charm and fear effects

"So... who wants to go pull it? Onetwothreenotit!"

Boo :p different tact then

"Well the reason I ask Deris is because there have been stories going around that one of the fathers of the children lost here, a magician of some kind, dropped everything after the tragedy and started spending a lot of time up here looking for his kid. Since you seem to know what's going on around here, I was hoping you could help us confirm or deny the truth of that rumor."

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 4

Knowledge (Local): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Having passed that, Gyles will be watching Deris closely for signs of magic use. Spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20 to ID any spells he may cast.

"Tell me Deris, what did you do before you came to work here?"

As an aside to the rest of the party: "There was a rumor a while back that one of the fathers of the children lost to the Drownyard, who was a magician of some kind, went a bit crazy and started spending a lot of time up here. I think we might have found him."

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 15 on check posted above

After seeing the strangeness of the classroom, Gyles takes a few moments to think about what he knows about spirits Knowledge (Religion): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6, which is apparently not much. Having few other options, he follows Deris out.

GM: How is Deris dressed? Are his clothes in decent shape or is he basically wearing rags? Does he look/smell like he's bathed recently?
Also, Know[local] check 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26 to see if Gyles recalls anything about people still being at/near the school.

Gyles smiles broadly and heartily shakes the man's hand.

"Gyles Wellsalt, professional nuisance. Tell me Deris, this school's been closed for the last ten years or so, hasn't it? What's a fellow like you doing working here?"

Gyles steps in closer, throwing a friendly arm around Deris' shoulder and giving him a conspiratorial wink as he continues in a lower voice, "Can't imagine the pay's been great so there must be some other benefit, yeah?"

Diplomacy on Deris to improve attitude: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

"My sincerest pardon Lady Dacilene, but is there any other way by which we may know your daughter? It has been ten years, it is unlikely she will appear the same as she did then."

Sorry, been sick the last few days and everyone's been asking the same questions I wanted to before I got a chance to :P
Gyles will pick up a spell component pouch at the market (I neglected to include one on his starting list of equipment)

The heavyset young man with a distinctly Taldan beard seated at the table quietly sets his tea down before speaking, "VC Dreng, is there a reason we're looking for this particular ring? And do you have any idea where in the Tri-Towers Yard we might find it?"

"As to introductions my name is Gyles Wellsalt, musician. Or," he says as he turns to the others tapping the small accordion resting on the ground next to him with a smile, "as some might call me, professional nuisance."

Bold Strider: Because I've not played Gyles before I've updated him to use Season 6 factions and traits (he was originally built before the end of Season 5). His actual faction is Liberty's Edge, the Andoran icon is being used because they are the backwards-compatibility faction and the new Season 6 factions do not have icons available yet.

Other than that I think he's good to go.

Checking in. Thanks for the PM Tranquilo, been a bit AFK most of weekend.

I've got two missions that need our urgent attention. First, an ancient ruby ring of a salamander is rumored to exist in Absalom. The ruins of Tri-Towers Yard to be exact. The Tri-Towers was an elite academy, but was thrust underwater after an earthquake over ten years ago. Should be an easy search and rescue mission. Karu tosses the missive on the table next to him as he skims the other unrolled scroll.

Black Waters, Tier 1-5

Gyles looks up, interested. "I may be new here, but I feel my skills may be of use in this mission."

New character, signed up on the docs sheet.
