<p>It takes several moments for Saniel to recover from the evil bite of the fey and the paralyzing effect it had on him. After regaining his composure he tried to take up chase, but the creature was long gone. Reaching out with his senses he focused on the lingering aura of evil that the creature would have surely given off, hoping to track it back to whatever it called home, but his shoulders slumped as he detected the aura as it was dissipating into the cold night air.</p>
<p><span class=messageboard-ooc>Had the encounter been a little higher CR we could have used Detect Evil to track by aura, but sadly those only last 1d6 rounds on things this low, and would make it impossible to track this way.</span></p>
<p>While the others conversed with Hetamon, Saniel remained quiet and distant. The failure to defeat or capture the murdering fey weighed on him, and he wondered if we was truly up to this task of being a hero for the city. If only he had been stronger. Falling victim to that bite, not seeing it coming, was a mistake he should not have made.</p>Backing up slightly

<p>Looking to Nils he then says, <b>"You seem to know the most about the place, when are where do we start?"</b></p>Listening intently, Saniel takes in the news from the halfling, digesting it slowly and coming to the sad realization that the city was perhaps in even more dire need of help than originally thought.

If they were going to have any chance of standing up to the wicked and nefarious plans of House Thrune then it was going to take a lot more able-bodied people than currently supporting their efforts. Within a few days they had managed to gain the trust and support of several of the local street peddlers, expanding their influence within the local commerce areas of the district. More would be needed, but they were off to a good start.</p>
<p>Once the matter of bringing the peddlers into their trust was complete, he began to put his ear to the streets to see what could be found out. There was still much uncertainty to the overall pulse of how the natives of the Silver City were handling the changes after the proclamations, and knowing where the most discord was would prove a valuable tool for them in the near future.</p>
<p><span class="messageboard-dice"><b>Gather Information:</b></span> <span class="messageboard-dice">1d20 + 18 ⇒ (18) + 18 = 36</span></p>
<p>Saniel then heads off to the coffee house to meet with Laria and to inform her of the demise of Nan at the hands of the corby within the hideout. He also lets her know that the place had been cleared of threats and that the group was settling into the location and attempting to put it to good use. The matter settled he asks that she keep in touch and let them know of anything she might hear from her contacts within the network that might assist them. Surely news of any slaves willing to fight for freedom and to assist with overturning the vile Thrune rule within the city would be welcome indeed. </p>
<p>Wishing the halfling well he returns to the Tooth and Nail and has dinner and a drink in the common room, watching the comings and goings and trying to note anything that might be out of the ordinary. He also inquires with Setrona on the availability of any rooms for let. Settling his bill he returns to the cellar and into the depths below to share his findings with the group.</p>

<p>First, I know how devious these writers are and how much it would make for a good AP if in the midst of adding all of these strangers to our rebellion that a few scoundrels, not counting Nils, might sneak their way in. So whenever we recruit new members, namely via teams, Saniel will take measures to vet them before admittance. Primarily by questioning them and using Sense Motive to determine if they are on the up and up, and by using Detect Evil and Detect Law VERY heavily. Anyone of notable power, or with devil blood, should ping to both of those spells. Detective skills at work! Anyone not willing to submit to this should not be considered for admittance.</p>
<p>Second, I want to set up a private meeting area within the complex that the group can discuss strategy in. There are a few small rooms on the map that could serve as these. Anytime we need to discuss rebellion operations or make plans for next moves Saniel will insist we gather in one of these secured areas and will cast his new Cloak of Secrecy spell to make the discussions private. No eavesdropping allowed with the hideout! :)</p>
<p>Last, we should make regular inspections of the hideout, at least once per day, to identify any stowaways, sneaks, or other signs of infiltration. Detect Magic/Detect Evil should be liberally applied to all areas and teams to insure no one has been charmed, beguiled, or otherwise influenced by magical or supernatural means to spy or sabotage our efforts. It might be way early for that since we have no notoriety yet, but an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. I can just see it now that some powerful archfiend finds one of our street rabble out and dominates them to sneak in and slit our throats! :P</p>
<p>It goes without saying that we would do as much as possible to hide our comings and goings and should probably rent rooms, if available, within the main building itself to cover our presence here.</p>A couple new things of note I wanted to clear with everyone and add to our "Standard Operating Procedures".

Don't expect any adventure path to provide useful gear, because they rarely do beyond the most common useful items. Also the Black Market action allows us to sell loot at a higher value, increasing our coffers as well.</p>
<p>The only good ability that street performers will give us is Spread Disinformation, which while useful, won't be of real value until we actually start to gain notoriety. The merchant line can do Earn Gold, which will always be useful, even from day one. With Saniel's ability to gather information in 1 hour and his high diplomacy, that will always be a better option than rolling unmodified Secrecy checks for the same information.</p>
<p>For the first few weeks we will probably just be recruiting. I honestly don't think we will ever stop wanting to recruit supporters each and every week due to the attrition factor. That is also how you level the Silver Ravens and increase the overall power of the group, by the number of supporters you have. Anything that lets us recruit supporters faster and better is key to building up the rebellion. Recruit Supporters is a Loyalty check, and the focus of the rebellion gets a +2 to all of its associated checks, which is why I thought Loyalty would be a good focus. However, the DC to recruit is fairly low compared to the DC 20 Secrecy checks scattered all over, which makes those tougher checks overall. Attrition is also based on a Loyalty check.</p>
<p>Just something to chew on.</p>Merchant types would be my first suggestion for a team, since we need to build them up to the point that we can use the advanced variety (Merchant Lords) to buy magic items that we need as we need them, rather than the random ones that would normally be rolled for in the city.

So I think for now our 2 actions per week should be focused on those until we gain some ranks. Keep in mind that we will lose 1d6 followers per week on a SUCCESSFUL Loyalty check, so attrition will whittle us away if we aren't careful there. It seems that the amount of followers you have is directly related to your rebellion rank.</p>
<p>As far as our focus, it doesn't seem like we are the brawler type group, so picking fights probably won't be our style. Saniel is definitely willing to talk his way through things, which fits the Loyalty focus, but we also have a lot of smart folks with street intelligence, so Secrecy could also fit well.</p>From what I gather in the mechanics of the rebellion process, getting followers and teams right now seems key.

Here are some key points I think we need to come to an agreement to at the moment.</p>
<p><b>Focus</b> - When your party gains control of the Silver Ravens, you as a group must decide on what overall tactic your Rebellion will favor. If you want your organization to focus on political clout and popularity, select Loyalty as the Rebellion focus. If you want your group to remain sneaky and subtle in its opposition of the government, select Secrecy as its focus. If you want your group to be scrappy and eager to get in fights against Thrune’s agents, select Security as its focus.</p>
<p><i>What is going to be our focus?</i></p>
<p><b>Treasury</b> - For now I think adding the party fund to this is a good idea. Is everyone good with that idea?</p>
<p><b>Events</b> - @GM is this something that will happen during this downtime or are we not at that point yet?</p>
<p><b>Officers</b> - My guess is that this is just us for now. There are 6 roles available. Based on the party's strengths and weaknesses, this is how I see an optimal breakdown of these roles:</p>
<p><i>Demagogue</i> - Myself, having the highest Cha in the party.
<br />
<i>Partisan</i> - Mawl or Horillo - STR or WIS are even for these two
<br />
<i>Recruiter</i> - Might be best to leave this one for now until we have an NPC we can use for this, less of a bonus than the others
<br />
<i>Sentinel</i> - Nils would be the best choice here, as he has the most evenly spread stat bonuses and can provide good chests to all of these.
<br />
<i>Spymatser</i> - Sorix, hands down. Best INT we have
<br />
<i>Strategist</i> - Between Mawl or Horilla, whichever is not the Partisan. The extra action per week is pretty huge to have.</p>So I kind of answered my own question and read through the player's guide a bit. Here are some key points I think we need to come to an agreement to at the moment.

Sneaking out at this point might prove beyond difficult."</b> He pauses for a moment, letting the facts play out in his head in order to gain a better understanding of what was going on. A quartet of tengus living in a hideout used by the Bellflower Network. This made some sense. A ferocious corby thrown into the mix complicated the matter. Was there some mutual link between the two races that kept the creature from attacking them as they hid out here? It showed no fear in attacking an armed adventuring party, so it wasn't because the creature was afraid. And if Nan brought them down here, and they had been here all along, how did they not know about the corpse and his demise?</p>
<p><b>"Look, we may be able to assist you, but something doesn't seem right here. Did you know of Nan's fate? From what I can tell he was strangled, not eaten alive. I may not be an expert on crocodiles, but I do know they don't make it a habit of strangling their prey before eating them."</b> He pauses for a moment, allowing that revelation to sink in before adding, <b>"What happened, and who was responsible?"</b></p>

And here were four of the species, standing before him, armed for a fight.</p>
<p>Seeing Mawl tightening his grasp on that massive hammer, Saniel quickly turns to face the quartet, his hands outstretched and his palms facing downward, a gesture meant to calm the creatures if at all possible. <b>"Hold, we are not here for trouble. We were sent to check on the whereabouts of a person we assume to be this man,"</b> he says, motioning towards the partially eaten corpse, <b>"Who appears to have met a rather unpleasant end. It was then that we were attacked without provocation, and we defended ourselves accordingly."</b> Saniel tries his best to keep his voice calm and level, his body language non-threatening. <b>"While we mean you no trouble, we will most assuredly defend ourselves as needed. Who are you, and how did you come to find yourselves down here? Surely access to this place is limited, which means we may share common allies."</b></p>
