'Kani's page

I try to Disable Device on my bonds. Crap- I'm untrained. Never mind.

So
first three hours: 'Kani
second three hours: Nathaniel
third three hours: Eliva
fourth three hours: Angalia and Res

'Kani makes sure Tiffa is bundled up, with someone on each side of her, between her and any danger.

He spends his watch alternately circling the rise, stopping to peer carefully from high spots, and climbing the low tree for a better vantage.

Any signs of distant fires or movements in the still existant mist? Do the stars look familiar?
perception 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
K(nature) 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

edit: Would it have been possible to take 20 on the K(nature)?

'Kani- first watch
Angalia- second watch?
Eliva- third watch?
Nathaniel- fourth watch?
Three hour watches?

If we're going to double up people, maybe on the second and third watch only? It's darkest then. On my watch, anyone who doesn't go right to sleep will still be up and the morning watcher will have early birds up to help.

looks wryly at Tiffa

I've still got some of the rations left- not much though. I was planning on finding an inn tonight.

pulls out rations for two and a water skin

hands out bedroll and spare blanket

I'll take watch early, while I can still see. I'm used to being up late and I slept in this morning. Tiffa, you don't need to try to stay up- if you have one of your dreams, you won't be able to sleep after it anyway.

Is there a good spot in the tree to watch from? Or maybe a high rock or something?

You are on a small grassy rise beside a small, sickly tree. The terrain is otherwise featureless.

and
There is no sign of anything manmade in the immediate vicinity - only the rolling terrain.

Should we camp here? The rise will give us some visibility and it might be important to check this spot out once in daylight.

looks carefully about

Does anyone see anything from inside or any of the guards that were in the keep?

spoken quietly to Tiffa, in a light hearted tone to disguise his worry,
I dropped my drum on the first floor. So no dance practice around the campfire tonight.

looks around at new terrain thru clearing mist, reaches over to grab Tiffa's hand

What's happening? Where's the keep?

My apologies- I meant I6 to get my back to the wall and, for at least a short time, get some visibility.

Good point

follows Tiffa thru the mists, stands to her right (E6?) and draws his bow

Murdering B______d! It's time to pay for your crimes!

@Tiffa
This is what you saw, isn't it?

@all
'Ware the windows! This weird mist might be his back-up.

Edited my own word- where's the usual filter?

bard accepts healing gladly :{)

moves into room blindly, hugging the stair wall- when he sees Tiffa in D8, moves up beside her to D7

continues bard/bard bonus

whispers to Tiffa

What did you see? Who's here?

Initiative = 18

B+&*%

Hmm, I see a trend. Maybe I should change my name to 'Goes Last'.

initiative 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

begins chanting in a quiet tone , while tapping a strong beat against his leg, a beat that mimics an adrenaline charged heart

Begins bardic proformance, Inspire Courage, +1 att and dam, and versus fear and charm

Whatever we're doing- let's make it quick. Someone sounds like they're in trouble.

How many can get under the trap door to open it and, perhaps, act the same round?

Realizing that the guard(s) don't yet know that they're together, and wishing to get herself to a more advantages location Tif decides to continue her ruse for a few moments longer.

With a shriek of terror the girl grabs her male companion by the wrist and runs towards the other crossbowman, blocking his shot as she screams "They're mad! Do something before they kill us all!.

I'm guessing after being ushered in she was on H9?, Move to I7, as she does so she attempts to secretly draw her silver dagger.

Slight of Hand: 1d20+8 oops, she may have pushed her luck a little too far. :P

Yep. The eyes of the nearby guards widen in alarm

Erfan is up.

Shouldn't Tiffa be at I7? The map still shows her at F13.

Moving with Tiffa, 'Kani ends up at I-8. Hoping to distract the crossbowman (X-2), he tosses the drum he's carrying at him, revealing that he's wearing a cestus on his right hand. 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

I will be following Tiffa's lead.

init 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

you ain't kiddin' 'ouch'!

I'm 19 and male, to answer previous questions. I'm still kinda hot, though.

Wait, does that make me the handler or the slave?

walks along with Tiffa and Eliva

Are we winging the story again? Last time you tried to convince them I was a Forest Spirit seeking tribute from those loggers. Admittly it worked, but I had sap in my hair for days.

Should I give 'em a drumroll to annouce us?

Once we start coming towards the front door, you can do your final approach towards the side of the tower- we'll be a distraction.

That gives Tiffa a +2 to her bluff, with an assist by me.

flashes winning smile

I've seen Tiffa talk her into, and out of, more trouble than one nuttso nobleman's tower. And if that doesn't work, the nuttso may accept a free shot at another victim. Plus there's that whole "nobler to suffer the slings and arrows" thing going on.

Hmm, just noticed I put a point in Diplomacy even though I get to use Peform in its place with Versatile Performance starting at 2nd level. If it isn't a problem, I'll switch the point to Bluff.

edit: Also noticed I forgot to spend the human skill point. Corrected by learning Climb, so I can hide in a tree.

Can I still cast Flare Burst? It makes for a more dramatic entry.

Tifa and I can play the 'arrogant players sent by peasants to the lord's keep to teach them a lesson' card. Maybe some smirking locals hauling our stuff can charge when we get the door open?

I thought I'd push the dreamer stuff for Tifa, hope you don't mind, Moorluck.

Either entrance is fine, but I've got a Flare Burst to lead off against the goons, if it can be arranged to use it.

from earlier this day

Tif, wake up- you're moaning. Is it another nightmare? What is it this time?

Passive perception is fine. I'm also OK with you rolling for us as necessary.

I'm following Moorluck's character for a link to the story, so I'm waiting on spending my favored class bonus until I see if there's a skill I need.
Otherwise, I think I'm good to go.

I think I'm done, but I'm at work.

Anyone see anything I screwed up?

Moorluck, Tiffana is a dancer and a Gypsy.
I'm a preformer/storyteller who has been working with traveling entertainers.
Maybe we know each other and when you had your dream, I decided to follow you?

Bare bones of profile, more to follow
