Oops! Somehow, despite it being the character's name I'm playing now, I read "Viorc" as the mother's name, and interpreted "the Enemy" as another one. My bad! (In case you couldn't tell, my concentration is still a little "off".)

He grimly and quickly heads over to the downed girl and her mother, checking for any weapons or other tools, and removing the mask to be sure he was correct in his presumptions of whom, precisely, he was dealing with.

If he finds anything to open the cage with - keys, or something else similar, he'll use it to do so immediately. EDIT: Any weapons he finds, he'll keep, and he'll quickly unlock mancles or cut through any ropes binding the foreigner.

Dang it: they are villagers? Boo.

Also, thanks for the non-lethal.

He quickly whips his bow around, aims for the meaty part of the thighs, the better to ensure they don't kill. He takes several steps into the room to gain a better shot.

Non-lethal Attack v. Flat-footed AC on 'Mom'?: 1d20 + 9 - 4 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 9 - 4 - 2 + 1 = 16Nonlethal Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Non-lethal Attack v. Flat-footed AC on 'Other One': 1d20 + 9 - 4 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 9 - 4 - 2 + 1 = 18 Nonlethal Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 Sneak Attack: 1d6 ⇒ 6

"Now here's how things're gonna work." he explains, evenly, with no bravado or other attempts. This was simply how things were. "You're gonna drop th' mask and weapons, lay down, and do some talkin'. I ain't int'rsted in killin', but I ain't gonna let you do somethin' that we're all gonna regret." he warns, evenly.

Ah! Thanks! Now I can see it!

Carefully, he tries again. This time, he allows himself to hit the mark a little more solidly, though still going for a non-kill. He didn't know what capability these masked folk have - or even if they were villagers at all.

The Sneak Attack damage shouldn't be non-lethal, but the main arrow damage should be.

Attack: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 9 - 4 = 20 Non-lethal Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 Sneak Attack: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Stealth Snipe: 1d20 + 10 - 20 ⇒ (16) + 10 - 20 = 6
EDIT: He should have at least partial cover, a +2 bonus due to bad circumstances for Perception, and a +2 to +4 bonus due to distance.

Sorry, but I'm having trouble reconciling what I'm seeing (there may be a few cues missing from the map). Where exactly is Korvec? It seems that he snuck into the building through K9 outside, entered K5, and is now in the "empty" area of K5 (on the right, aka NE) looking into K3? ... but the only stairs that I can see on the map is in K6? Is the cage near K4 or is the cage actually K4? Sorry - I'm just really having trouble visualizing what he's seeing!

He watches the girl carefully for a few moments, then, cautiously taking aim, attempts to quietly take her down without killing her.
This is a "non-lethal" attack against a flat-footed AC; this should suffice to hopefully take her down quietly but without killing her.

Attack: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 9 - 4 = 16, Non-lethal Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Does he recognized the spore-cases?

He carefully, quietly moves by, giving most everything a wide berth, if possible - plants, pots, and devices of any kind.

He moves quickly, yet very carefully - he works at neither disturbing anything, nor getting too close. In the meanwhile, he carefully looks for any sign of what was done to the stranger.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

Viorec carefully moves toward and around the plants, readying his bow for against any would-be surprises.

He quietly heads up to the door and opens it.

Stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

When the coast looks at least somewhat clear, Viorec carefully and slowly creeps up towards the the old Chenowitz place, to carefully check out what's happening within. Sure it was supposed to be haunted*, but that's child's talk... and possibly meant to keep folk away, now that it occurs to him. He heads around the back.

Still, he's going to get to the bottom of this... his wife and children would not be taken.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

* I hope you don't mind me filling in some back-story. I'm just guessing as to why it's not investigated more, and feel free to correct this misconception in an ooc, if that's what it is. :D

EDIT: SEE?! SEE?! The dice roller hates me stealthing! ;P :D

Thank you.
Stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

He quietly settles back in, frustrated by his own mistakes, but now even interested. What could be so focused that they missed that? Most creatures would already be gone - long gone. Instead they seemed... obsessed.

He was even more certain, now.

He quietly waits for them to enter the barn.

Viorec Korzha leaned down to the ground, watching.

He carefully aims at one of the stirges, regretting the necessity of the death of the beast - they knew little other than how they were raised, but these were meant to kill, and he needed to prevent this.

Bow Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18, Bow Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9, EDIT: Sneak Attack, if within 30 ft.: 1d6 ⇒ 3

He stays hidden, and, ever-so-slightly, shifts to the right immediately after his attack.
5-ft. step, shouldn't apply any penalty to stealth.

Looking at Perception, and Stealth, as it's night time (unfavorable conditions for a perception check, so +2 to the DC to find him), and he gets a +1/10 feet distance bonus as well. It's a -20 to remain obscured with his stealth, due to sniping, but moving 5 ft. away from the location should be a solid "evade attackers" thing.

Stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Possibly with a +2 for night, and +1/10 distance; he's hiding in the brown stuff unless it's weirdly toxic or something - I'm guessing it's something like tall grass, fallowed fields (corn seems like it would be eerily appropriate ^_^), or burrowed fields.

EDIT: I HATE YOU STUPID ANTI-STEALTH DICE ROLLER. >:(

EDIT: For grammar, clarity, and minor editing of annoyance.
EDIT: I just realized I don't know how far he is, and that affects whether or not he can get a good sneak attack off. I added the damage just in case. :/
(With that lousy attack and lousy stealth, I'm not sure this will be a longer fight than Hexy's.)
