Milo's eyes bulge. That wasn't just the music box in the bag that's now buried under the earth...it's ALL his stuff except for his trusty daggers, his armor and his bow.
He looks to Dhice, trying to keep his cool.
I'm not...uhhh...against the decision to bury the cursed music box that someone clearly planted in my bag, but is there any way to save my collection of...errr...clock repair tools?
Male Human Level 1 Thief HP 14/18 XP 3/8 Armor 1 | STR -1 | DEX 2 | CON 0 | INT 0 | WIS 1 | CHA 1 |
Sorry gang, busy time at work!
The music on the music box picks up in both speed and volume as they approach the obelisk. It's almost like it's...excited that they're nearing it. Milo desperately hits the button again, but it has no effect, so he crams it into his bag, uselessly. Panicking, he drops it on the ground, hoping that people pay more attention to it than to him.
With all this commotion going on, he of course doesn't go anywhere near the jeweled flower. Too much heat on him!

I still need resolution on what happened when I pushed the button. One temptation at a time!

Milo, it looks like there is a button on the bottom of the silver sphere, surrounded by Elven script. Do you speak Elven? What will happen when you push the button?
It'll certainly give away that he's stolen something. It could just be a music box or an an elaborate interactive art piece. It could be functional, like a weapon or a tool. It's entirely out of his best interests to push that button. Dangerous even. There's no way he should ever push that button. Just hang on to the sphere, keep it safe. Maybe sell it if he gets the chance. Pushing the button only ends poorly for Milo.
Milo pushes the button.

It's a piece of art from her throne room. Milo just couldn't help himself. It was so beautiful. An abstract sculpture, he assumes. It's about the size of two fists together, a silver ball covered in intricate runes and script.

His eyes widened. The Fel? Few had even believed his story, and now a queen was declaring war on them? Might Milo finally have revenge?
Male Human Level 1 Thief HP 14/18 XP 3/8 Armor 1 | STR -1 | DEX 2 | CON 0 | INT 0 | WIS 1 | CHA 1 |
Milo isn't as affected by the queen's words. He has no love lost for the Skaven, but he's seen a mob before. Mobs scare him...

Milo bounds to the courthouse with so much enthusiasm that even Lyntel would be a little overwhelmed. He's so excited for a quest, you don't even know.
Male Human Level 1 Thief HP 14/18 XP 3/8 Armor 1 | STR -1 | DEX 2 | CON 0 | INT 0 | WIS 1 | CHA 1 |
Extra yes. I'm going to steal this for the DW campaign I run.

Milo scrunches his face a bit. Have you ever heard of something like this before? Any idea where the Skaven could have gotten something like it? You can imagine that something like this could significantly benefit my efforts

After watching the elves do yoga a bit, Milo shyly moves to join the group once Archepex arrives.
Mr. Archepex, sir...I, gosh, I don't even know how to ask this, but...well...I mean, you turn invisible sometimes. How...how do you do that?
Male Human Level 1 Thief HP 14/18 XP 3/8 Armor 1 | STR -1 | DEX 2 | CON 0 | INT 0 | WIS 1 | CHA 1 |
Milo did not have enough gold to properly party, and instead just had a night of drinks with no reward.
Male Human Level 1 Thief HP 14/18 XP 3/8 Armor 1 | STR -1 | DEX 2 | CON 0 | INT 0 | WIS 1 | CHA 1 |
I need bonds. I'm going to throw some out, people let me know if they're cool.
Archepex has a magical treasure I covet. I will find one of my own, or convince him to give it to me
Dhice's powers of air and flight can be useful for my own technique. We should practice some join maneuvers
Lyntel: I must help Lyntel's sleep disorder. I'll do whatever she needs until she gets better, even if it means sitting by her bedside
Emma: Emma's powers frighten me. I need to know she's not a threat
Grigor (Didn't want to get greedy with bonds, adding him in now): Gregor is a powerful warrior. I want him to see my value.

Check your bonds and alignment for XP!
Did we learn something new and important about the world?
Did we overcome a notable monster or enemy?
Did we loot a memorable treasure?
Level up if you can!
Yes: We learned all kinds of things about Elven politics
Yes: It sounds like the Major Domo was a big-time player for the Skaven. His removal will be devastating to their war efforts
Yes: The Major Domo dropped his magic ring (when we cut his hand off)
I leapt into danger without a plan.
I need bonds, though! I'll make them in the discussion thread

Milo relishes the attention, and if he develops the nickname "Bladecatcher", he can hardly control that. He doesn't know if elves have taverns, but if they do, he'll"" be there, letting grateful citizens reward him with drinks.

Already standing next to Lyntel, Milo offers his assistance
A buddy of mine, Rodrick, he had a bad blow to the head. Some ruffians down at the docks though that the block he was working was theirs. Rod disagreed and some blows were exchanged.
Realizing he is rambling, Milo gets to the point The point is, the local doc, not with magic but with herbs and the like, the local doc said that Rod couldn't go to sleep all day. Might not wake up, you know? So I helped him stay awake. I...I can help you, if you need.

I sidle close to Lyntel. Dont forget about the part where I saved the queen from being skewered. Totally saved the day!
Male Human Level 1 Thief HP 14/18 XP 3/8 Armor 1 | STR -1 | DEX 2 | CON 0 | INT 0 | WIS 1 | CHA 1 |
Milo turns to watch the proceedings. He can tell there is no small amount of gravity in what is occurring and that he may be among a few humans to ever witness Elf justice like this.
Plus, he might be standing there some day. Would be good to get an understanding of what not to do.
Male Human Level 1 Thief HP 14/18 XP 3/8 Armor 1 | STR -1 | DEX 2 | CON 0 | INT 0 | WIS 1 | CHA 1 |
Milo isn't TOTALLY sure what's happening, but it seems to be positive. That being said, he keeps careful eye for what's going on while this big show is happening. Another ambush perhaps?

Errr...I hope not

Milo pockets the throwing knives. He hopes to have the chance to return them to the Skaven personally.
He cocks his head at the noise.
Sounds to me that guards are chasing the remaining Skaven into the woods, but we have no real way of knowing who is part of this conspiracy. We'll need to get ourselves and the queen and any surviving hostages out of Elven territory as quickly as we can.
Male Human Level 1 Thief HP 14/18 XP 3/8 Armor 1 | STR -1 | DEX 2 | CON 0 | INT 0 | WIS 1 | CHA 1 |
While the others mill over if they should execute a prisoner (which Milo feels quite strongly they should not, but doesn't really feel it his place to say at the moment), he picks up his knapsack, now bestudded with brand new throwing knives.
How many knives did I collect?

With so many attackers, will I be able to slip a blade into Wildsong's squishy bits (backstab) or am I going hand to hand with him (H&S)

The queen is not getting stabbed on my watch! Using the same deadshot precision I use to pick a lock in the dark or put an arrow through a ratling from 100 yards I hurl my knapsack directly in the path of the kunai, letting it intercept the throwing knives.

Milo thinks this would have had to take some time, and be concealed by multiple people. This conspiracy likely goes beyond a single man. My voice joins Archepex's
They weren't smuggled in either. Someone built them a special door right in. This corruption runs deep.

Mooshy, what was the result of my trap expert roll?
Male Human Level 1 Thief HP 14/18 XP 3/8 Armor 1 | STR -1 | DEX 2 | CON 0 | INT 0 | WIS 1 | CHA 1 |
After a moment, he rethinks his answer, seeing the responses from the rest of the party.
Listen...I might not have the same background with the Skaven as the rest of you, but they tried to kill me too. I'll be loyal and dedicated to this fight. You can count on that.
I look closely around the room to see if there's anything out of the ordinary.

Either way. I'm not feeling pushed, by the way. I just want to do what's best for the story. If it helps, I can retcon his backstory a little bit, make him a war orphan or something of the like. Give him a dog in this fight.
Male Human Level 1 Thief HP 14/18 XP 3/8 Armor 1 | STR -1 | DEX 2 | CON 0 | INT 0 | WIS 1 | CHA 1 |
Maybe Milo has some sort of knowledge/background/skill that's necessary for the next segment of our quest? Alternatively, I can scrap Milo and roll someone else who is better integrated in to the group (maybe an Elven Ranger assigned to the group to fight the Skaven or something?

Milo's head bobs back and forth, in something that resembles either the gesture for "sure" or "we'll see" or something that straddles the line of both responses.
Male Human Level 1 Thief HP 14/18 XP 3/8 Armor 1 | STR -1 | DEX 2 | CON 0 | INT 0 | WIS 1 | CHA 1 |
I cock my head at the elf noble locked in the gem. [b]What about Skaven collaborators?[b]
Are Skaven like the Warhammer critters or are they different in some way that Milo would know about?
Male Human Level 1 Thief HP 14/18 XP 3/8 Armor 1 | STR -1 | DEX 2 | CON 0 | INT 0 | WIS 1 | CHA 1 |
Milo smirks a little.
Oh no. I snuck into the sea of trees to steal things and find adventure. War is just another name for adventure, as far as I'm concerned.
Male Human Level 1 Thief HP 14/18 XP 3/8 Armor 1 | STR -1 | DEX 2 | CON 0 | INT 0 | WIS 1 | CHA 1 |
Milo does his best not to flinch at Archepex's gaze.
I already have done things that would turn my mother's hair white, if it wasn't already. And the real deal is what I'm looking for. I'm done playing in the bush leagues, as it were.
Male Human Level 1 Thief HP 14/18 XP 3/8 Armor 1 | STR -1 | DEX 2 | CON 0 | INT 0 | WIS 1 | CHA 1 |
Ah, the flip side to the questions...questions back at him.
Ah well...see, I may have gotten a bit lost. There was some sort of guardian that I frankly didn't feel like conversing with, so I...slipped past him? My name is Milo and I guess I'm a bit of an expert at getting into places where one is not meant to be. I could be of use to you in routing the Skaven.
Male Human Level 1 Thief HP 14/18 XP 3/8 Armor 1 | STR -1 | DEX 2 | CON 0 | INT 0 | WIS 1 | CHA 1 |
Milo drops effortlessly from the rafters.
I don't mean to interrupt, but something tells me there's more going on than we previously thought. Anyone mind filling me in?

Milo looks down from the rafters. Is there an easy way to get down, or will he need to climb/flip?
Male Human Level 1 Thief HP 14/18 XP 3/8 Armor 1 | STR -1 | DEX 2 | CON 0 | INT 0 | WIS 1 | CHA 1 |
Milo has little choice but to fall...but every control on how to land
defy danger dex: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 6) + 2 = 10
He spins as he falls, letting the dead Skaven cushion his fall.

Milo PREFERS to fight from behind where he can take advantage of a distracted foe, but he'll take what he can get. Landing on the rafter, he takes a stab with his rapier at one of the archers

Landing softly is for suckers. Milo rides the wind wave up to the rafters. He tries his best to land himself BEHIND the archers so he can have his way with their soft squishy bits.
defy danger dex: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (6, 1) + 2 = 9
Close, but no cigar! Maybe I land in front of them instead for a little Hack and Slash?

defy danger dex: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 6) + 2 = 10 Milo knows not to stand in a sniper trap. He flings himself behind some cover and returns fire when he can.
volley: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 2) + 2 = 6
The gas must have dazed him more than he though...
Male Human Level 1 Thief HP 14/18 XP 3/8 Armor 1 | STR -1 | DEX 2 | CON 0 | INT 0 | WIS 1 | CHA 1 |
Milo winces as the arrow slashes into him, but at least he's no longer where there is poison gas.
damage-armor: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 1) + 1 = 4
Yikes, 2d6+2 is a pretty hard hitting arrow. Out of curiosity, what would have happened if I had failed the roll, instead of fundamentally succeeding but at a price
Male Human Level 1 Thief HP 14/18 XP 3/8 Armor 1 | STR -1 | DEX 2 | CON 0 | INT 0 | WIS 1 | CHA 1 |
As the twang fires off Milo leaps forwards.

This isn't the first time Milo has had to deal with a gas trap. Milo doesn't waste time trying to hold his breath. He's already working on the door to get it open.

Milo looks to Wildsong. Is something wrong? Tensions seem to be riding high for something as small as a trespassing charge...
Male Human Level 1 Thief HP 14/18 XP 3/8 Armor 1 | STR -1 | DEX 2 | CON 0 | INT 0 | WIS 1 | CHA 1 |
Milo dismounts from the horse and waits for a lead from his escorts. Are they to enter with the guards, on their own, or just wait for someone to emerge. He's especially curious how much attention and scorn the guards pay to him
