Rabe the Huntsman's page

At this point I feel it is safe to say Kikiri isn't coming back and now Tariel has left as well, This should speed up combat a bit since we won't have to wait for as many people to post. No problem about the PC being down, I have been though that before myself.

I just read back a few posts and noticed there was no reflex save for last round when Jaidoh placed the fireball on the wolfman while he was prone. Also she struck it with a ray to reduce its strength.

As the creature stands I quickly swing my sword around at it again, taking advantage of its distraction, growling as I do so.

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24
Damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (1, 2) + 4 = 7

I think we already lost Kikiri. His last post was Mar 26.

Seeing the woman fall "So that is your choice."

Raising my sword, I charge the wolf creature with a yell.

Attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 2 = 14
Damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 4) + 4 = 10

I draw my sword from my back and state. "You chose a poor time to show yourself to kill another. Explain who you are and why you are killing these people and we may show leniency."

Holding my action to see what the wolf creature does.

I watch the 'spy' leave suspiciously. Then I look about the area silently for anything out of the ordinary.

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

my eyes glow ominously green as I scan the area.

I will take lead as is the norm for me.

I roll my eyes at all the meaningless antics and Follow La'vriel out. I ponder why the Mayor is hiring Crimson Banner if we know they are shady operators and sigh. Nothing for it "Let us finish this killing investigation and move onto things that I am more apt at, such as putting a stop to the killer or investigating some of our other job leads." I say shooting a side long look at the member of the Crimson Banner in our party.

After getting a response from Kikiri. I turn and acknowledge Tariel, shaking her hand. Then I move to the side and let those more versed in dead bodies have their way.

"I know not what customs we are not observing, but since you already seem to know who we are, who are you?" Currently I am ignoring Tariel, studying the Kobold because I don't like his attitude and don't trust him.

I stand in the door watching, then I rumble "Well, they seem to have this under control. I have no desire to poke around in a humanoid body, have you learned anything?"

Didn't we just kill a bunch of those a few days ago?

Well, "Owl" was highly rude, wasting everyone's' time. I for one have no problem with how things are progressing.

I stand silently and glare at the advisor out from under my helm, my green eyes glowing. Finally I shift and say,

"So, what is it you want us to do exactly, we are not qualified to examine a dead body."

I take the gold coin. "Very well, lets be on our way and meet these new allies."

No problem. I am assuming we are moving on now even though only one person reported in.

I was waiting for confirmation that new players had been picked since it seemed we wouldn't be moving forward without them.

"The forest I grew up in was much more... Straight forward then here."

I stop with a grunt, "Very well. We will stop by the mayors first."

I keep trying to give others the chance to post before I railroad stuff but I am getting tired of waiting days on end

"Let us see about this guarded warehouse first, then we will vote on if we should look into this alchemist or check in with the mayor." I say with a finality as I turn and head for the door. "Come with me if you wish to see what is in this warehouse, otherwise I will just check myself."

I plan to stick around, I have been enjoying the game thus far other then the slow pace.

Well I am obviously still Here.

"Then let us be off!"

I am just going to assume that anyone that doesn't post in two days doesn't want to sneak into the guarded warehouse and push the storyline forward.

Strange, my update showed that you posted in the discussion page the other day but not here. I will be here for this campaign until you as DM say it is over.

After hearing what our employer has to say I state, "This seems more important then meeting the alchemist, perhaps on the same level as investigating the warehouse due to it being owned by the people in question possibly. I believe that it should garner our full attention."

I look forward to it.

I retrieve the conch shell from the shark toothed woman

"We could not have overcome the adversaries that were here. If you want to throw your lives away if a situation like this comes up again feel free, but leave me out. I was trying to maneuver us so that we could either get the girl without bloodshed or get the opponent in a position that we could attack with confidence of winning. However since neither of those occurred I will take what we can get while surviving. Let us return these women to their homes and then report to our benefactor."

I assist with escorting the women home and promise the Tiefling to return in the morning.

Once we return to our benefactor I report what occurred, that we could not rescue the girl without endangering our own lives and show him the conch shell.

I am assuming the woman we were talking to and her body guards can hear everything we say considering she is right in front of us, or is at least smart enough to be suspicious of a whispered conversation, not smart to talk about killing someone when standing directly in front of them.

I speak in a normal voice. "You are fools, if we try to attack them the woman we were sent to check after will die and we gain nothing. Better to cut a deal so everyone leaves happy. Our employers concern is the girl, is there any way we can convince you to let us take her off your hands?"

"This is truly and abhorrent story. What is the ending to look like? You are obviously already garnering unwanted attention, even if we leave and report nothing wrong others will investigate."

"The family that was working out of this house has not been seen for some time except the daughter, yet the fishery seemed to be selling extremely well. We were paid to discover why."

So there are currently 4 'guards' and the woman with shark teeth? as well as the 3 captives and the woman with a knife to her throat correct?

"Agreed, there is a time for talking and a time for fighting. We are currently in a time for talking. Let us hear what is to be said."

If Jerry and I are all that is left of our original group I am more then willing to continue. Our plan of action for this combat should probably change, however because I don't think I can take them all.

"I have already stayed my hand when I could have attacked." I say as I slide my sword into my sheath. "I have come here to learn answers, if you would provide them yourself rather then me having to puzzle it out, that would be preferable. It would also be preferable that your captives do not die. Enlighten me, are you working alone or does someone else benefit from what you do?"

I am curious, but I am also stalling for time so I am no longer fatigued if I have to fight.

I shift uncomfortably in the long silence after my response.

Knowledge Nature1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 4 - 2 = 21

Will 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 2 = 12
Int 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

Seeing the creature and recognizing what it is jolts me out of my rage, I slump slightly as my fatigue catches up to me but I try not to let it be too obvious. "I was hired to discover why the family that lives here has not been seen in a time. I came to investigate and ran into your welcoming party down stairs." I speak loudly, so as to alert my allies but not so loudly as to tip off the Malenti.

As soon as the fish man drops my eyes snap towards the stairs that it 'shouted' up, and I charge up them expecting to find more enemies.
No problem, you keep coming back to post I will be here to respond. I am not literally charging up the stairs, just using it as a descriptor.

I attack the standing fish being roaring in its face as I do so.

Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (2, 5) + 7 = 14

prone one. I thought the standing one was dead for some reason I haven't looked at the map recently since I haven't been moving.

Since no one else is doing anything
I again swing at the final visible enemy
Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (4, 1) + 7 = 12

Congratulations on making it through a hard time, glad you are still around.

I'm still here.

No problem, I am just looking forward to getting this rolling again.

Seeing the opportunity I attack the prone creature

Great Sword: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11+bonus for prone? I think he just gets a -4 to AC but I can't remember.
Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (1, 2) + 7 = 10

Haha what a horrible roll to restart with.

I believe he did

Honestly I would be willing to continue even if I was the only one as long as the DM Aron wanted to do a campaign with only one person. But it looks like atleast Jerry wants to keep going.

I look forward to continuing this campaign.

Yay, I have been hoping this would pick up again.

I will instead take a 5ft step to L-9 and attack one of the creatures. Also due to getting attacked and hit I will be going into a rage prior to attacking. -> +2 to my attack +3 to my damage.

Power Attack 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
Damage 2d6 + 11 ⇒ (3, 5) + 11 = 19

Ive heard nothing from him

You just greased the captives...

Knowledge(Nature) 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Taking a 5ft step forward and then attacking the Sahuagin closest to the door.

Power Attack 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
Damage 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (3, 4) + 8 = 15
