Guess that is better than going to Texas and risking getting bitten by the Lone Star Tick and becoming allergic to red meat. That tick scares the living &^%@ out of me.
Scarlet draws out the coins needed and hands them to the cloaked figure for one night for the group.
Scarlet starts to eat and drink. In between bites, he speaks. "I suggest we rent the room for the night and start are search in the morning. So we can be fully prepared in case something troublesome happens."
"These undead would normally attack without provocation but something is keeping them peaceful while in the Inn. That would probably change if we become hostile though." Scarlet starts pulling out gold coins and handing them to the figure holding it's hand out until it seems to be satisfied with the amount.
Only slightly being concerned about being served by undead, he lets it slide. "Thanks. My companions and I will like some ale, just bring a couple of pitchers and some mugs." "How much?" reaches into his bag to pull out the necessary coin before returning to his companions.
Scarlet approaches the bar and smiles at the humanoid figure behind the bar. Undercommon: "I'm afraid my companions don't speak the language of this place. Do you perhaps speak the common language of the above?"
"I agree with Barnabus. We need more information and might want to treat the entire city as hostile environment until we can get a better grasp on the situation."
Rummaging around in the bag of holding for the coins, "Back in my home town, I often dealt with people from the Under when dealing with the black market." Hands over 30 gold coins for the group to pass.
Scarlet reveals to the group what the creature wants, "It is demanding a toll to go through the gate." Undercommon:
"How much to pass?"
"Both sounds good to me. Find the Inn and find out how to stay on the good side of the local authority."
"Interesting. So if we run into a water elemental or something we have an effective weapon if needed." Following Dalron, looking at the heads on the spikes. "How inviting..."
"Thanks for the healing. We got more interesting loot. Some more gold coins depicting an elf woman with spiders, and two other items. A vial with dust in it and a black pearl with silver veins. Maybe both are magical." While following the group as the head for the city, he offers the vial and pearl for magical examination while also appraising the black pearl.
When things seem safe, he bandages ups his wounds before he pulls out his thieving tools and begins to work on the locked coffer.
Scarlet has no clue what the creatures are, just that they are dangerous. With the one smaller creature still alive, Scarlet moves to thrust his bone blade into the fish-like creature.
Quickly drawing his bone sword, Scarlet lashes out at the fish thing that attacked him. "I hate getting wet."
Loot sheet updated.
Gladly exchanges the goods with the merchant and takes the coins he offers. "Pedestal coins." "Yeah. We have an assortment of more weapons and a few pieces of armor that we can sell or trade. So if we can find friendly merchants or other individuals like you, that would be great."
Okay. Loot spreadsheet is updated. Got Bozvrig down for one of the antitoxins and rope.
RECEIVE in TRADE: Ink & Pen 10 gold
TOTAL: 579gp 6sp TRADED to MERCHANT: Masterwork Scimitar x7 1102gp 5sp (157.5gp each)
Total: 4000gp DIFFERENCE: +3420gp 4sp (received from merchant). Or Trade-In these to equal things out: Masterwork Studded Leather x5 437gp 5sp
Total: 592gp 5sp (Let merchant keep the change.)
While the others are talking to the merchant, Scarlet pulls out the back of holding from under his armor and begins to take stock of what they have while also eyeing what the merchant has for sell.
Okay. This is what I got for changes involving the Loot spreadsheet. Dalron:
Bozvrig:
Barbabus:
Del:
Lanliss:
"We'll probably want to buy the water. Fresh water might be hard to come by down here. Like others say, more rope and pitons."
Having heard stories of the Underdark, he doesn't seem that excited about being here. Especially fearing running into the female lead Drow race. "Yeah. We'll probably need to buy some supplies. So looking through your wares will be helpful."
Scarlet joins the group as Lanliss heals everyone. Watches his wounds completely heal as they decide to rest.
Wincing from the cockroaches attack, he quickly thrust his blade at the bug again. Hoping to bring it down.
Seeing the 'small' cockroach go down, Scarlet whirls about to see a larger size one coming at him. Side stepping it a little bit, he responds to the new threat by thrusting his blade at the new cockroach.
With the swarms taken care of, Scarlet moves toward the closest larger roach to attack. He thrust his bone sword at the giant bug.
"Sorry, no tanglefoot." Scarlet backs away from the swarm and just tries to avoid them.
Reaching the bottom if the cliff, he looks up and regrets having to use so many fine ropes to get down here and leave. But knowing they might need to climb back up to get out of here. Upon hearing the word 'vermin'. "Ugh... lets move slowly through here. Try not to attract too much attention."
Okay. Changed the spell to Shield. Better AC is always good.
No problem. I'll change it. Shadow Hands was an option available in Hero's Lab but I couldn't find the spell either. Hmm... I know. I'll get Vanish. Being Invisible for up to 5 rounds (Depends on Level) won't be bad.
Scarlet starts to knot the ropes for climbing.
"I think we should continue down. We know our prey came this way. Also from what little I could tell about that letter we found. The lizard guy was a Yuan-Ti." Rummaging around in the bag of holding, he pulls out 3 silk ropes. "Here is 150' right here." Scarlet then pulls out another silk rope from his own backpack. "And that makes another 50'."
Scarlet takes the note from the halfling and tries to decipher it.
Ah..yes. I put a +1 into Str so I will only be one point away from negating the penalty for using the +3 Str Mighty Bow.
"I can probably detect any trap we might come across. Unless you want Bozvrig or Del take the lead. Which might not be a bad idea for narrow tunnels."
Only big change is for Scarlet's 2nd Rogue Talent, I took Major Magic "Shadow Hands". He can use it 2 times per day and it does 4d6 cold damage Reflex DC 13 for half damage. Spreads out for 10' in a semicircular wave.
Looking both north and south, he waits for everyone to join him in the tunnel. "Well, which way do you guys want to go?"
"Very interesting sword."
Sounds like Del would have the best benefit for using it with what we know so far.
Waits for everyone to be ready before heading out.
"We can worry about the King thing later. Lets go after the elf girl and the lizard guy before they can cause more harm." Scarlet moves toward the hole Bozvrig pointed out and will start going down it if he can.
Scarlet's eyes burst open upon the first wave of energy that heals and jumps up, sword in hand. Waiting for another attack to come. But seeing the current battle is over and relaxes as the second wave of healing washes over him. He feels fine now except for his thoughts feel a little cloudy. "Last thing I remember the elf girl joined the battle? Did we take down the lizard guy?" Looking around, not seeing the body of the lizard guy or the elf girl, "I guess not?"
Slides deeper into internal slumber.
Congrats. No worry about the baby, take what time you need.
Scarlet swings out at the Varag as he passes, unfortunately opening himself up to the Nagatha's attacks. He feels sharp pain for a moment before he collapses unconscious.
Saddened he missed the summoned creature last time, he tries to make it up but hitting it this time. He thrust his sword toward the Nagatha, hoping it hits this time.
Scarlet draws out the new magical bone sword in his possession and strikes out at the summoned creature that appears next to him.
Scarlet takes the magical bone short sword and swings around a few times before sheathing it. He then puts the other bone sword into the bag of holding. Chuckling at Dalron and Lanliss, "How true. Those weren't pleasant experiences." He then goes to invesigate the two coffers.
