Rocosmia Semvelo's page

Sorry but Ibroke my computer laptop when my girlfriend broke up with me this weekend. This is from my ps3 browser. I had high hopes for this but all hopes of mine are going to have to change. Goodbye.

His lewd smile makes Rocosmia give a feigned smile in return. A hostile glare flickers in her eyes briefly, and she glances to the others before continuing. "I had made some plans with my concerned friend with the request here, but actually, I might like that suggestion. You must have some stories to tell. If they're good enough, perhaps you and I will have one." She moves more seductively toward him, giving room to the door. "Just to be sure you don't disappear first, I'll follow along while you get that trinket for us. Alright?"

She fingers at her dress demurely.

Of course, Dev, there were no plans made. (/wink) He might be on our side, but he's up to something else... its so obvious... sense motive or no.

Rocosmia reaches and grabs the bag with a bit of effort, taking it into both hands. "Yes- the shirts are here," She gestures to Drewan's bag. "Just one thing we need, you were supposed to have a bit of information ready for us."

She draws out the potions and the shirt, handing one potion to each who do not yet have a healing potion. Then offering the chain shirt to Jake, she turns to watch Hezek.

I prefer 24-hour with GM-PC control with contingencies and general battle plans. And that's even considering that this character has a lot of flexibility and thus acts very dependently on the situation.

I'm not happy about the initiative going that way, but I'm not going to get picky about it either. If you think/feel it's for the best, I'm behind you on it.

"My task is to determine whether you can meet my contacts needs while chasing your rebellion."

So if his contact's needs are to catch the murderers... this guy has a heck of a way of saying things if he is on our side. I totally wanted to mug Hezek for our message and leave him groaning in the alley, but Rocosmia is going to play this cat and mouse game until things look bad.

Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

She glares at Hezek. He's interrogating us! "You didn't restate your intentions." She shakes her head. "We are strong enough to have made him disappear. Your supposed employer doesn't need to know more than that. I don't know where Master Torenest is now, but he isn't hiding."

Since none took the warhammer or breastplate, everyone will be getting 305 out of 1,105 of your worth in gold, the other 800 in gems, if you care to track it separately, presuming we were able to sell them to the rebellion already. That and 900 gp in the party bucket. Dev and Digger, don't forget you each hold a potion of cure moderate wounds for us.

The crowded room starts to feel like a small cage. Rocosmia frowns at Hezek's offer - only brightening a little when the room itself brightens with the mithral chain shirt. She glances over to Jake, who would probably receive it. Moving to the door, opening it not even so much as to a crack, she leans against the frame. Just the option of leaving gave her ease of mind. Still, she looked critically upon the man.

"Fine, but I want to cast this zone of truth. If you've nothing up your sleeve, that shouldn't be a problem. To be up front with you, this is not what we were expecting and I don't like it. Sorry if you had good intentions. I expect you can understand why I feel a little offended. Once the spell is working, go ahead and restate all your intentions for the rebellion, please. Then feel free to ask your questions."

Handing the scroll to Hazan to cast if Hezek agrees. If he doesn't agree, I'll cast Charm Person (DC 15 Will) on him.

"He is one of us, of the rebellion. We have the uniforms," she says as she stops dancing. "...and I'm expecting you to have a message for us. Puck, would you go get the others?"

Rocosmia smirks and coos. "I'd like to know your name first. A little grease to help things go smoother. I have an expectation- I'm looking for something. Rebellious. This isn't all I've got..." She starts to move none the less, beginning a dance she knows that makes the human males unsettled. The seductive, fiery dance of the ifrit.

Perform (dance) and conceal cast Grease on self: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22 Bardic Performance: Harmless Performer (DC 16 will to do anything hostile to her)

The grease makes her skin reflect light a little more smoothly. I'll burn his hair off if he's not Hezek.

No sleeves. Going for a disguise using no active illusions. It has to be able to stand up to true sight and detect magic. The sleeves could easily pass as vanity gear, but fails as an illusion.

Rocosmia hesitates before following. Going alone to the back of the shop wasn't her idea of a simple swap. Even if the worst were to happen, I could escape. Probably. It would take an ambush ready to deal with magic. If it came to that... then my allies would notice... right? She walks in behind Hezek, and keeps her voice slow and smiles.

"Lets not waste any time, then."

Disguise: Human female rogue, wearing an abs-and-thigh revealing piecemeal leathers. Also, today I want to fund the creation of and subsequently use for this encounter, Sleeves of many garmets (link), IF using it does as it says and literally transforms the clothing to another non-magical clothing, and does not simply make the illusion of it. It will take only 96 minutes to make for 100 gold, spellcraft DC 6 (11 without Disguise Self). Either way, today's disguise is the same. Rocosmia will take the cloak of resistance. Hazan will be given a simple human mercenary's disguise by Rocosmia, all taking 10.

Just the sort of look of someone who has to take advantage of things whenever he can. This must be a test of his loyalty. "Wait a minute. Let me speak with him alone."

Rocosmia first approaches Hezek. She sizes him up while waiting for him to take notice of her, doubly so if he already saw her coming. Squints her eyes at him, she speaks slowly, conveying the sense of power she felt yesterday. "You have something I want, by the looks of it." She looks at his wares incidentally, touching one of the backpacks as though perusing. "One or two of these will do well to give you what you want. I'm glad to see you're well supplied. Of course, I would like a detailed receipt. Will there be any complications?"

Bluff to relay hidden message to Hezek/Influence him if he's up to something: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (11) + 14 = 25

Rocosmia shakes her head in response, quietly counting in her head. After a short while, she speaks. "First let's split this up. I think we've got 6,631 gold worth of things from the mage, not counting the dust and potions. They should be group assets. We would get 1,105 each. 675 for the breastplate, 1,156 for the warhammer, and 500 for the cloak. So whoever wants the warhammer, throw in 51 gold for the pot. If nobody else needs the cloak, I'll take that and 605 worth of gems. Whatever isn't claimed gets sold. As for the group assets, I think Dev and Digger should hold the potions, and sell the dust for 900 gold. We could afford 4 scrolls of Glitterdust or other party assets like the Silence we used today. Of you get tracked down from having any of this, just say you bought it from a shady vendor, and avoid the rest of us for a while."

She prefers to sort that out first, then speak of the events today. It felt a little like murder, but it also felt like cleaning out the city. It made her feel powerful. A successful rebellion was not such a distant dream after all. "I agree we should stay near each other when doing something, but we shouldn't leave town. We were in disguises, and leaving as a group may make us suspicious. I've got room for one at my home. Hazan, I'd like you to go with Dev to find out what we've got coming up. Jake and Digger have some rumors to see to. Drewan, are you up for coming with me later to see how they're investigating the scene? If they're careless... we might be able to cut their investigation short."

Without any further words, Rocosmia turns and runs into the darkness of the alley at full speed. The lifeless black-and-white appearance of the buildings to her made the intensity of the moment multiply. There is no turning back now. She slows herself, getting ready to change her disguise.

Stepping a little closer @-L28 (she was at -K29), she conjures grease @-N20 to -M21 on the priest and the guard. Without watching the results, she mindfully puts away her metamagic rod.

(whisper) "Good, you're not caught. Now get out of here. We don't need to kill a priest."

A creature with climb speed (like Drewan) can always take 10- it was why I suggested he take a rank in climb way back in character creation, so he could take 10 on this very situation.

I've done a bit more of this than I usually do in this campaign. If its a bother, then I won't mention such things anymore lest it be really significant.

Was blindness resisted twice? I should know if it is resisted.

Seeing an ally trapped made her feel the need to fight against the guards so that he might escape. She wished she could evoke some magic, some invisibility or something to help him get out. If she were in that pit... she couldn't stand the thought any longer than a moment.

(whisper) "I can't let him get caught. Twenty seconds. Keep trying to get him out for twenty more seconds, please."

Moving to see the caster who put Hazan in spell to -K29 while drawing her rod of bouncing, she evokes her most malicious spell upon the priest. Blindness. And should it fail to take on him, it would bounce to the tower guard. DC 16 Fort

I see no enemies on the map.

Watching from a distance, Rocosmia concentrates on the spell, waiting for Hazan to escape.

Rocosmia looms at the edge of the alley, looking to the spot where the sound of the falling master came from. Whispering, "Dev's thing can handle the body now. Don't leave Hazan behind." She concentrates, focusing on the apparent rush of action from those from the north. Let's not get too excited now.

Calm Emotions (range 150', 20' radius on the center of the approaching group) DC 16 Will: She then starts withdrawing into the alley.

Probably going to be gone for a day or two and have little time, but I anticipate Rocosmia will Rapid Shot the master for round 1. The other likely action is to cast Grease on the master if I can target a guard as well and not get a non-flying ally.

Rapid Shot: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 _/ 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Rapid Shot: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13 _/ 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Rocosmia will cast Silence, centered on Hazan, when he comes in range.

We'll have at least a partial surprise round. Looks like casting tipped off the mage, though he still shouldn't have identified any combatants. Its not like we're staring at him with big signs on our heads saying 'impending ambusher'. You'll be able to charge in.

When he gets to -J20, we begin. See if you can swipe that spell pouch now? Hazan, you'll be the target of the silence spell. Rocosmia will be at -K30. In guard uniform, of course.

Don't mess it up Puck, I want that surprise round!

Initiative: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Rapid shot, yes.

Rocosmia will not prepare any spells prior to engaging, but will have the silence scroll and bow out.

Rocosmia will wait, hearing these things. Master Veray speaking on Radgar is interesting, but nothing so far will push her into action. The pretends to be surprised about the news, at least.

But what happened this afternoon...?

"You will see the matter through personally, Master Veray?" she inquires as a member of the crowd.

"Alright- Jake has a point. We can do this without the hat. Just take your time with the disguise and do it the old fashioned way. I'll see you there."

Waiting for the two to pass, Rocosmia only so much as glances at them. "That's three," she whispers. "...we'll have to wait until the meeting is over then. Let's get off the roads for a few hours and meet back here."

Checking up to Dev and Drewan, she looks to Digger. "How about you and I make a little visit to the gathering?"

Given that Digger agrees, Rocosmia will go into an alley and discreetly change clothing appropriately to visit the meeting. Take 10 on disguise to hide her identity, then go as a concerned citizen.

(gulp, whisper) "Veray... great. Alright. Let's get him. Puck, do your thing." With that, Rocosmia waits with scroll rolled up in one hand, not focusing on Master Veray and the woman.

Will use disguise kit on Dev.

Don't forget the silence. So we can go in /warriorrage and just worry about the awkwardly quiet appearance instead of attracting attention.

"That sounds like a good idea, both of you. Now we've just got to do it. First, disguises."

Rocosmia does not wait for any further discussion. She impetuously heads somewhere appropriate to make up disguises, leading whoever follows. Using guard uniforms for the main group and aiming for a halfling merchant for Puck.

I'm not sure how the guards in a city like this would situate themselves on a street like this, but perhaps somewhere close to the -S horizontal on the major road? As a small patrolling troop, perhaps?

Rocosmia nods to Jake. "The guard uniforms should be a big help with that. Torenest, then Akeli for the priority list then. One of the two should show up on the way."

"Now that I think about it, they'll probably be together before the meeting. Scratch hitting them prior to the meeting, because that really isn't an option. This will be a night operation, and perhaps better done a little bit north toward the tower grounds."

I'd like to see what we have for an option in the street, as you mentioned.

"Master Veray may be the head, but if he's so young and secretive, he must be very dangerous. I don't think I want to try my luck against him in a place he'll probably be on guard."

Knowledge Local: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

"I agree with Dev and Drewan. Ambush. I'll nominate Akeli. Her summons, if she even gets a chance, won't be able to help her if we're already upon her. But if we see Torenest, lets go for him in-case Akeli doesn't show. Let's get them before the meeting, they're intensifying the guard at night. We can simply use our disguises at the entrance to be sure we don't miss them. Chandler and I can convince the original guards that we're on disciplinary guard duty or something. I will cast silence on whoever closes with the mage first, then commit arrows until the target is down. Someone will have to make sure the job is finished, and then someone to cover our escape. The rest of us should be right at the door."

She takes a sip of a drink, looking to the table in thought. After a brief silence, she looks to Hazan.

"A little slick grease can help with that, but I think I should be at the door. What do you think?"

To Jake, "Master Liam might be the least cautious, if he's sure to be there. Do you have anything to go on to choose any of them in particular? I don't want to mess this up and just injure a man."

Gently pulling and turning the scroll toward her, she peers at it as she breaks the seal and unrolls it. "Probably a muster or arrest order... might be handy. Let's see what you've got here."

"Let me see it." A quick glance at its lines is all she needs. "No problem, and a good job getting this one."

She rolls it up and stashes it away. "So, do we have someone picked out?" She tries to sound optimistic.

She looks to Jake with a curious expression, clearly brought out of her thoughts. "Yes, of course. Ah, we got what we needed, so Drewan should be bringing them in soon." She looks to Dev, his seemingly unusual cheer rather unexpected. She smiles, though only in a friendly manner. "Did something brighten your day? A girl or a gold coin on the street?"

She recovers from her introspection -- something dangerous for Rocosmia to do too much of, lest she grow restless and discontent.

At the Crow, or soon there, waiting for Jake.

I wonder how Candarel and Sisani are doing.

Off-screen agreed location, from which we'll do uniform disguises, pool our resources, select target and go.

Unless, of course, Digger gets caught.

Just keeping track here, I'll post every couple days at least until Roco is part of the interaction again.

Don't you get caught now! I want my wand back.

Rocosmia walks out into the street joining the flow of people. Might be close enough to hear another fight break out, but otherwise no longer there.

Ifrit + Bard was meant to be. Bonus feat from the GM for being an ifrit! Yes please. I'm expecting some massive 24 player death battle and Roco will probably die in a headstrong way, but I'm gonna enjoy it.

When Drewan opens his bag of holding toward her, she simply pushes the basket into the opening. With it smoothly consuming it all in a swift swallow, she simply reaches to Drewan's shoulder to give a quick pat once. Turning south, she pulls her outfit into a different manner and loosens her hair to change her disguise as she goes.

Disguise (Quick Change), Take 10: 10 + 16 - 5 = 21

(whisper) "Looks like we got this in the bag. See you soon, Tock."

We were waiting for uniforms to show up. When they did, Digger cast a silent illusion of rats coming out the drain, and Rocosmia gave it sound. When the people fled, Rocosmia began gathering up the uniforms. Now, as she finishes loading the uniforms into a basket, she's leaving, hopefully unnoticed with the distance between them. Just a bit of luck and they'll be gone without any trouble with the uniforms.

Taking the basket and staying low, Rocosmia moves quickly and steadily south through the alley between Drewan and Digger. Double move to V23.

(whisper) "That should be it... and exiting stage south. How did they get here so fast?"

Stealth (trying to use the low wall as cover from archers, moving quickly): 1d20 + 11 - 5 ⇒ (15) + 11 - 5 = 21
