Having done the same recently I completely understand. Best of luck with everything and let us know if you feel the itch again.

Let's just get going... we get griffin here to his safe spot, we need to get to ours too until this whole damn business calms down.
Sadly not older than me. Focus on the trip and return safe with the details! Sounds like a heck of a story.
Sia and Lorick are keeping their relationship as secret as possible. I don't mind Cathy having figured it out though!
I Uhh... Don't really know how to swim so just don't get me in the drink okay?
Should be back to posting Tuesday as well
Lorick's player is on vacation till Wednesday, might not be out for all of next week depending on work travel! Considering we're not hurt Lorick's not going to make a fuss either way. On one hand the griffon riders aren't friends, on the other, he's got a guilty conscience he'd like to quiet.
Inside Lorick's eyes widen when he sees the valuable looking trinket. He glances around at the newly formed group and clears his throat. Well, this looks like a jewel of great price he says, picking his words very deliberately and watching the others to gauge their reactions. Outside he says We get to Lamm and get this work complete is what we do.
I'll go with simplified bookkeeping for sure
Lorick binds the Principal with rope and then searches him over thoroughly. Don't want any other tricks popping us off he says We have to hand him over to Lamm... The others I don't give a toss about... What do you think is behind that door he was trying to open?
Really glad that the situation just turned out to be a scare and not anything more than that GM.
Lorick moves in and punches the Principle, non lethal.
@GM Only addition I'll make is to add a stunning first attempt. DC 13 FOrst Save I believe if 1/2 level has a min of 1. the calc is 10 + 1/2 level + 2 for wisdom modifier.
Seeing Baldy fumble with the door triggers Lorick's suspicions and he moves in to try and subdue him fast.
Then he continues with his flurry of attacks which might just be hard kicks to a prone figure.
You BoneKraks ain't known to be fools. Be smart now. Lorick crosses his arms and fixes Karl with a threatening stare.
Looking over at the not very heavily muscled profiles of the remaining group Lorick sighs. I'll be going in first. Stay behind me you two. Cathy you going to do your sneaky stuff?
I'll second the fishery.
Pathfinder 2 has a "Follow the expert" action that addresses this in a different way. I think I might like BitD better.
I really should be better at this Lorick mutters, his lack of grace a constant sore point between him and his former tutor.
I think we can try stealth first as plan A and if that works we won't need the diplomacy. We can use the doplomancy as plan b, and then cracking bonekrak heads as plan c. So that's my suggestion.
That lot is small time mercenaries. Won't go against Lamm. I know one of 'em on guard, not friend, but not foe either. Lorick considers the two. The gang's been around for a while, they ain't fools, maybe we can talk them out of this if they know Lamm ain't happy about it.
I think I'm good to know one of the ones on guard. No reason not too. A passing familarity between thieves.
Definitely focus on getting well before all else!
Taking out a drug pusher, even if it was to protect Lamm's turf, was still a damned sight better than breaking the fingers of terrified shopkeeps... less on his already burdened conscience. Lorick nods,but waits for his more foolhardy companions to stop asking questions so they could go. Silence was a kind of armor and the two men seemed to have no idea of the fact.
Lamm was going to go whatever he had planned no matter what the group did , they just had to get through the theatrics. Lorick plays his part as the meathead and stays silent... a lot like Sam the Ham really. GM: To spare Sia the shame, and to keep the secret, Lorick just stares at Lamm and completely ignores Sia.
Lorick nods at Annelise and Cathyriel, who he's worked with before and just stares at the two others. He's large and scarred with a stern gaze and an expression that says nothing else than "Don't mess with me." Usually, Lamm likes making an example of a person solo, not as a group. He offers though.
Ok, Lorick, Cathy, and Anneliese, have worked together!
Ok, so let's say Cathy,Kalo, and Lorick have worked the protection racket together and so know each other professionally. Hard to make good work friends at LammCo. Cathy would probably know one of Loricks contacts pretty well, Sia is also a sneaky sneak and similar age but she's rising fast and becoming one of Lamms's favorites.
Lorick categorized the people who worked with Lamm into two groups. Those who were forced to work for him and those who wanted to. Jolus fell very much into the second, and more dangerous, group. He doesn't respond to Jolus's offhand question, not that Jolus expected an underling tough like Lorick to do so anyway and just stares at him until he leaves. Once he's gone Lorick heads towards the meeting place. No reason to delay.
Lorick sighs as Sia's mood flips,and for good reason. The only way to survive under Lamms's thumb was to become like him and it hurt him to see Sia on the road to becoming one of his feared lieutenants. He had to find a way to take the bastard down. Let's put a hold on the eggs and everything else. I'll head out to be in a place I should be sos they don't get suspicious. Lots of weird stuff going on. Lorick crumbles the card into his pocket, maybe he'd be able to save Sia, Miyoto, everyone sooner rather than later... Saying his goodbyes Lorick heads to a spot on the Old Docks where he'd become a familiar sight, smacking his fist into an old pier post over and over. If Jolus didn't find him in his room then this should be the next place he'd look.
I guess we can describe how our characters would have been in Lamms's orbit and we can decide from there. Lorick would be a tall and scary looking silent enforcer type known to be sent out to crack skulls and collect payments, Old Korvosan native.
Waking quickly was an almost necessary survival trait as an orphan in Korvosa, and the disciple instilled in him by his mentor had only enhanced it and so it was that he didn't miss Sia's tells. He sighed, they were getting careless, he really should be in his small room in the Old Docks. Keep Lamm from getting suspicious. Lorick focused on Sia, habitually serious in contrast to her cheer. I'd never say no to that Sia, but you gotta tell me what you're worried about. Getting called up by Lamm isn't anything new.
Offf sorry for being late. gold roll 60 gp it is! Build is finally complete.
Hoping to be done in a day or two. Thanks for the kind words. I think Lorick and Sia are exclusive but aren't living together. Sia's got a nicer pad that Lorick as she's taken to being a criminal better than Lorick, who's an attack dog being kept on a short leash. Fine with Somelen starting to fall apart as well!
I'll resurrect an old CoTCT character for this one and downgrade him. Unchained Monk with an Unhappy Childhood!
Completely understandable. Take care of yourself first. Hope things turn better soon.
Wondering if we're waiting for something?
Don't think the guards like being made subordinate to these new metal ladies. Maybe we'll find out something from there Lorick says But yeah, let's get this job over and done with
Whoops retcon what Lorick said. Head back to the fencer then?
Don't think we're gonna get by that one as easy as we got by the Guards on the way out. Lorick says to the others as they get close. I know a few ways to get in an out of the city sneaky like. But a big group would get noticed. Maybe we can use that by ones and twos. OOC: My Lore:Poor areas check from before is the idea
How's everyone doing?
Lorick is uncharacteristically the last one up. He looks at everyone else blearily. Don't think I'm cut out for this country living
DM: A young boy again Lorick snivels into his sleeves and tries to keep from crying as he wanders the cold streets. For all the terrors and misery of growing up an orphan the stabbing fear of loneliness hadn't been a part of his childhoood... until.. .now? Maybe the person he'd lost was why?
The young boy continues wandering trying very hard not to burst out in tears
Lorick nods Alright then. Let's find a resting spot before nightfall
Long walk ahead. You ain't safe yet Lorick reminds the bard. Let's keep going After a while he looks around to make sure they're alone.
So you just the easiest scapegoat or is there some other reason they have it out for you?
Well. Let's get on with it then Lorick says. Where do we meet? I've got something to take care of.
Lorick nods at Trinia. Let's do a trail run of what you could look like to slip out the Gates
Lorick shrugs They ain't going to detect your magic are they? Mechanics:
Mechanics: Any hidden or less known ways out of the city for the poor folk that nobody else bothers with?
Lorick shrugs at Trinia We'll see. To the others I travel light but I don't know anything about wilderness stuff. We setting out now or later?
