Marra casts light on her shield. "It's probably going to be dark down there. I'm more worried about the salt water in my eyes than anything right now, it's going to be very difficult to actually see..."
Marra looks lost in thought for a few moments... "Bathhouse, that sounds nice...though we may want to get the water purified first"
"It was thrown from the outside, a little glass was found outside the burned out walls, but most of the glass was found inside. I've seen enough broken windows from my time with Lamm, to recognize which direction it came from. Now whether it was planned by Vendra, or was vengeance by upset people, I'd need to put some people to the question."
Marra who's been quite sullen and quiet as of late pipes up "Donagar, play nice, while we go do what we need to do."
"Donagar, I think we need to get you back underground, you really seem to be losing it up here on the surface...what's the deepest you've made your mark?"
"Gregor....doesn't the city have laws about chopping holes in people shops?" Marra says while staring horrified at Donagar...
"That is a bit of a conundrum, perhaps another distraction?" Marra says thoughtfully...But then again, if we upset the crowd, we could have another incident like at the Vault of Abadar...
Kn: Dungeoneering. (That should have been the roll versus the vampires...) "I don't know, were-rats can be dangerous, but this really isn't what they do, scavengers and thieves, yes, but plague bringers, that would be more in line with the derro we fought before. That silver axe is probably the only reason they were able to kill it."
"Oi know, best part of catch'n these rats is gett'n to ignore their pleas o'innocence!!"
"A double Donagar? That's a bit light isn't it?"
"Not much of a choice, all the other bars are closed, you let us in...besides it's like 3 bells after the mid-watch."
"Agreed, I miss him as well, the city has gone to hell since his death, as a bad omen. May Iomedae punish those responsible. May we be the instrument of that punishment. It feels as if we're drawn toward higher purpose, we 'heroes' of Varisia." Marra absent-mindedly draws out the Harrow deck.
"We'll research that as soon as we can."
"Then let it be done. We should arrange for those crow faced jackals to come around and clean up this mess as well. Those corpses need to meet a pyre."
As the bolts of force slam into the vampire, Marra swings her blade at the vampire's neck as she spits a curse that would make a sailor blush. WOW! double 10s, Automatic Critical under my test system.
playtest:
1d8+2x2 max dmg=Min:4 Min Crit:10 Max:20 Margin=TH-AC 26-17=9 Margin+Min=19 Marra's blade slices halfway through the vampire's neck, causing it to reel back from her.
Marra looks at the crawl space. "Looks a bit cramped, never a halfling around when you really need one."
Marra Quickly covers her nose with her arm. "Whew, and I thought they smelled bad on the outside."
As Marra concentrates, she leads the group to a trap door in the Southeast corner of the room. "It appears our quarry may be in there."
"Coffins, is that right? I thought that was ghouls, I swear I've heard so many rumors I have no idea what's truth. Iomedae can lead me to those of extreme morality" Marra then mutters a short prayer to Iomedae requesting assistance in locating those of extreme evil.
Marra lets out a short laugh."Is that it? That's the scourge of the night?"
INITIATIVE=
Marra pushes the door open, your eyes adjust rather quickly. Unbalanced stuffed animals, poorly equipped toy soldiers, and
Marra, being the closest to the door, immediately moves to open it at Nik'o's command. "Be ready people!"Marra steels herself, knowing this is the gravest threat she has ever faced, now realizing how little she knew of the one of the most powerful types of the living dead.
"No Dwarf! We leave now, these blood suckers will be long gone by the time we get help...you flee if that's what your god would do, mine would fight...." as Marra spits her words at Donagar.
Marra strides into the building, Shield up, sword at the ready."Be Careful, the other one is missing!!!" She shouts.
Marra realizing she needs a weapon in hand, drops the crossbow, and looses her longsword from its sheath and unslings her shield, as she drops into a defensive stance.
Reflex: Marra just narrowly avoids the tumbling corpses as she stops one with her blade as the others tumble into it.
Marra pulls (move) her repeating crossbow up as she declares Smiting Judgement (swift) on the Vampire and lets loose with a bolt, toofast in her action, she realizes she pulls the release too early as the bolt skips off the paving stones and passes through a shattered hole in the wall. (move)
Initiative: "No, in the city???, Iomedae preserve us..."
Knowledge (Religion) "Huh, that's odd, like they were bitten by very large bugs right? Maybe there's something burrowing in them to feed."
Marra begins to examine the victims with an investigator's eye. Though the stench seems to be distracting her.
"Ugh, I'll need to get in there to really inspect these corpses. Donagar you have any protective magics to help protect me from plague?"
"Or some cleansing flames"
Marra ignores the princess jab with her usual stoicism."No point in waiting I suppose. I'm sure those dumping the bodies would most likely be doing it be cover of dark, so perhaps we can catch them in the act, no?"
"Under the circumstances, with the guard being utilized elsewise, I think we're on our own. Imagine my surprise when I slipped into that alley, and the overwhelming stench hit me, all the finely honed instincts from my time as a Lamm, screamed at me to run, and keep running. But my duty to our city and Iomedae's will steeled my will and I proceeded to have a quick look. Of Course I had Hawk at the ready.Any one seen the lil dragon?
"Yes Gregor, that's what I was counting on, your and Drakus' sense of duty, always appreciated. It's Racker's Alley." Drakus/Gregor get a +5 to the roll Knowledge DC12:
Racker's Alley, with its strange shape and shadowy corners, has long been a site of illicit exchanges, quiet murders, and criminal business near the eastern edge of North Point. Shunned by the locals and constantly hidden from sunlight by looming building and the nearby wall. This place requires a naked blade, typically guards patrol it in full squads, and only when required.
"Aye, if we want them to take the credit for stopping the plague...might do"
"As the discussion continues, Marra returns,breathless, "Need your help, almost spotted, ducked around corner, ran into a problem elsewhere..." As Marra calms down, she explains more simply that she ducked around a corner to avoid being spotted and ran smack into a pile of corpses, it appears some of the early victims of the plague had been dumped in an alley.
Marra trails after her quarry....
"I could attempt it an' hope I'm not spotted..." Marra's Card: (Shield[Con]/Neutral Good)
Sounds as good as any, we need to bring down whoever is threatening the innocents of Korvosa....
"The last thing I want is those creepers to be 'healing' me...especially after losing my mind at the execution..."
"Agreed, those get-ups are definitely on the creepy end of the spectrum."
"Well then, back into the throng?" Marra beams as she flips open her razor.
"The problem with the roofs is jumping from a Cathedral to the regular rooftops could....well...kill us."
"Days in the catacombs with infected people, I think I'd pass."
"Let's just call it's Calliope's Caress..." The crowd parts as Marra and company stride toward the grand staircase.
about that time, Mara pulls out her weapon, pushes some people away, and begins to twirl it about her in a dance of death "Back you fools, the lives of those who're able to help are of great importance, and my charge." Dazzling Display Intimidate: The crowd surges away from the group of adventurers as Marra's blade whistles as it tears through the air.
A concerned look comes over Marra's face, obviously worried about her companions. "Donagar, looks like we might need some of Caiden's good cheer sooner rather than later."
