Don't forget to send us PM's whenever you're ready to start up again, GM. It's been a fun experience, and I'd hate to see it end permanently. Hope you get on top of things soon.

Technically... Technically, we never laid a single hand on the dwarf in our confrontation with him, so I think we're safe from the guy. At worst I could be slapped with destruction of property, but then I could probably get away with 'self-defense'. Of course, this all hinges on them actually recognizing us as part of the guilty party.
"Hmm..." There doesn't appear to be anything that catches Kol's eyes so he turns to Kwin and nods. "Proceed with you purchase, Sir. There does not appear to be anything I am in need of purchasing at the moment. Although, those schematics may be something you may wish to peruse."
"One moment, Sir."
Kol looks at the selection at the stand, looking for anything that might catch his eye.
Nah, just a little ooc pants-s@#%ting. I'm pretty sure we could talk our way out of any... difficulties that arise. If not, there's always running.
Carson Jr.?! "Oh dear."
Kol looks appraisingly at the vast array of warforged-related paraphernalia and the milling customers browsing them. "Indeed, Sir," he replies, a hint of awe in his voice. "Shall we peruse their wares?"
After listening in on the local gossip, Kol informs Kwin of what he's heard. "Hmm. Well, Sir. It seems the tavern we just left was apparently the best establishment in town, unfortunately." "There are two nearby taverns that seem respectable enough, though. Good drink and entertainment from the sound of it One is apparently having a talent show. We can inspect them if you wish." "There is also a... gentlemen's club nearby, but a young man of your caliber would never dream of stepping foot in there." There was a sense of finality in that statement. "I do believe that..." The warforged stops as Kwin vomits onto a nearby woman and watches as she runs away screaming. "I do believe that you have had more than enough to drink tonight, Master Kwin Longclaw." His tone brooked no argument in the matter. "Come. There is a shop for warforged parts in the market. You can walk off the alcohol while we browse the stalls."
Yep, server derps happen. Glad to see it was resolved relatively quickly. Anyway, welcome, Kyras, to the game. Enjoy your stay. I know I have. I'm guessing Kwin and I are currently chilling at another bar (hopefully the one I rolled for rather than the one Kwin found :p). Heh, perhaps we can be Kyras' welcoming committee?
Poor bastard... It just isn't his shift.
Hmm. Here, let me try finding you a place to drink, Kwin. I can't possibly do worse.
[Edit:]... I have no words. [Edit, Edit:] I think spending a little time in another tavern might be good while we wait for the others to recover and gain their bearings in the 'future time'. When it looks like its a good time for us to visit the jail, the GM can teleport us there easily.
"Quite alright, Sir," Kol replies as he follows Kwin down the street. " Our cover had to be maintained in front of the authorities. For that, being called a... machine for a while was a necessary degradation." There is a hint of distaste in his voice when he says that, but it is muted and quickly disappears. He then nods. "Staying at another drinking establishment for the time being is a sound plan. And would be marginally safer than wandering the streets at this time of day, even with the increased guard presence." "Though, I must ask that you partake your drinks in the normal way this time, Sir."
Kol, always Kwin's shadow, stands next to the doorway as Kwin fills out the claim. He takes the time to keep an eye on the two other people in the room, scrutinizing the receptionist in particular.
Yeah, but we get rebuffed by guards, we should leave right away after explaining that we're just here to get our stuff as the excuse.
Kol follows close behind, again silent.
Once out of the earshot of the few guards milling about, Kol speaks up. "While unfortunate, their plight does not appear to be life-threatening. At worst they will spend a few nights in jail before being released." He changes the subject, "Perhaps you should ask the guards if it is safe for us to retrieve your belongings from the inn, Sir. It would be prudent not to linger here any longer than is necessary."
"Mmm..." Kol grunts in what sounds like agreement, or it could have been his hip gear acting up again. Regardless, he doesn't speak up in the presence of the few guards that remain as Kwin ordered earlier.
Kol follows Qwin's gaze and looks in Harry's and Nimos' direction, then at the guards now surrounding them. He slowly shakes his head side to side in reply. There were too many guards in the vicinity for them to mount any kind of realistic rescue and trying to speak on their behalf right now would most likely implicate themselves as well or at least put far more scrutiny on their tenuous innocence than he was comfortable with.
I take it that the guards will not be giving Kwin and I any more grief for tonight and we're just waiting on the sidelines (or discretely making our way to more agreeable locals) for the others to escape/get captured?
Heh, I guess Miyako was right. That gas does turn you green and yellow. I've mixed up my character portraits countless times before as well.
Who are we still waiting on?
Kwin, compared to my abysmal 6 Charisma (-4!) you are g%**#!n Morgan Freeman.
Guess you'll just have wait for this to blow over before you can pick up the rest of your stuff up, Kwin...
"Yes, Master." Kol follows Kwin outside. Once out on the street he scans the area to see how the guards are deployed. He didn't want to engage them if possible, but it would be good to plot an escape route just in case he had to evacuate Kwin in a hurry.
Kol keeps quiet while the kitsune plays out his histrionics. At the moment anything he said would probably blow their cover. For now, he would play the dumb automaton and follow Kwin's lead.
"Ah, the guards have finally arrived," Kol says nonchalantly before he trundles after Kwin at a more deliberate pace up to the guest rooms. He is personally not worried about the knockout gas as breathing is not a requirement for him to function. He pauses for a moment when he notices that Miyako has disappeared from their side and debates whether he should go back and attempt to retrieve her. He shakes his head and continues on, Master Kwin's safety was his main objective. She would have to fend for herself for now.
I was about to suggest we take to the second floor if there was one. Good to see we're on the same page, Kwin. Going out the main entrance just tosses us into the loving embrace of the city guards. Suddenly, I am very glad I don't have to make fortitude rolls.
Go ahead, GM. I think Kwin and I are in position and are as ready as we'll ever be for what we think is coming. Do you want us to roll our perception now or wait for your prompt?
"Sir?" Kol asks in confusion as he follows Kwin over to Miyako. "Are you sure you do not need medical attention for your head injury? My weapons have already been sheathed for the past few minutes." Nevertheless, Kol obeys the order and leans casually against a nearby support column next to the two kitsune, arms crossed but empty.
Kol pauses for a moment in thought. "Sadly no, Young Miss. Master Kwin unfortunately has consumed the last provision I had in my possession just the other day," he said in a remorseful tone. "I can, however, purchase some food for you from the barkeep if such an arrangement is acceptable to you."
Snow sucks. Stay warm, Kwin.
"As you say, Sir. You have far more familiarity than I on experiencing the effects of alcohol consumption."
"Of course, Sir. I would disappointed to see you get smashed so early in the evening," Kol replied evenly. "Do you require a splint, Sir?"
I aim to entertain, GM. ;) Having a lot of fun playing as Kol. Never tried a comically serious character, but I'm liking the dynamic between me and Kwin. That and our misadventures with the diceroller makes for interesting opportunities to play off of, even if not always to our advantage.
"Are you alright, Sir?" Kol asks as he bends down to assist Kwin back to his feet, conveniently ducking under another alcoholic missile. "Perhaps we should move to a more peaceful venue? I am surprised the guards have not yet come to disperse the brawl."
"I admit, the lady's feats of gross collateral damage far surpass any previous incidents we have been involved in, if not by much. She must have lived quite an interesting life before her current employment."
"I personally find it to be quite endearing, Sir," Kol says in a cheerful tone as he continues to give the mechanical equivalent of the stink eye to the two humans on the floor, ready to literally sit on them if he had to if they wished to continue hostilities. "I believe you can salvage something of use from the wrecks, Sir. The hostile warforged were merely poorly maintained. An oil bath and some scrubbing should remove most of the wear. Although, I believe that we will be using most of the scrap to pay off the damages." "Again."
"If you were not so busy playing the dashing hero, I may have left you one, Sir," Kol replied. He sheathed his longsword as he walked back over to the still prone humans. He wouldn't need it if they got uppity again. "I suggest you return to your drinks, gentlemen," he said as he loomed over the two conscious men, metal arms crossed.
Hmm, oh. Oops, misread the conversation. Just assume I meant to target the still standing warforged, whichever it many be.
... Yeah, I've got nothing.
With the first warforged regrettably dismantled, Kol turns his attention to the remaining one. He notices that the dwarf was no longer with them -probably slipping away in the beldam- but does attempt to pursue once he hears the very angry minotaur give chase. His duty was to neutralize the threats to his own charge after all. He sees Kwin make a wide loop around the warforged and lays into the automaton to keep its attention.
Go for it, Nimos. Try not to kill him though.
Can we get a map update, GM? Is warforged #1 down or not? Slightly confused since it says Nimos cut him down then immediately after, Merry targets him again.
Kol quickly recovers from his wide swing, deftly parrying the other warforge's clumsy swing with the flat of his sword and strikes back with a quick slash across its torso.
Does Warforged #1 have a gauntlet or something to count as being armed? If its taking a swing at me with just its fist: 1) I get an AoO since I am armed and he isn't, 2) I am immune to non-lethal, so he has to take another -4 penalty (not that it matters) to make it lethal damage. Just asking because you didn't state what weapon it had when it attacked.
I'll post once Harry (or the GM for him) posts. Btw, do you do critical fumbles GM?
Spoiler: Please don't.
Ready to go when you are, Boss. |
