alright sorry guys, i was on vacation for a while but im back now and ill get back on the ball. Anyway, Sir Thomas will go and assist in pulling sapphire out of the water


male Human Paladin 1

oh boy the tension's so thick I could cut it with a knife, here the hopefully successful reflex save
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
now presumably i'm on the deck, with that in mind I shall stand up and proceed to draw my sword whilst trying to move off the barge onto a pier or dock, if that is not an option i will then hop onto irontusks' barge. If needed, acro check
1d20 - 5 ⇒ (9) - 5 = 4


male Human Paladin 1

Well shucks, looks like I've made some errors, and grave ones at that. Atleast I did my job of protecting sapphire somewhat decently.


male Human Paladin 1

male Human Paladin 1

i hope i can land this one, im swinging unarmed over here, dont want to kill the guy right, anyway here's the reflex
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
and heres the attack roll
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10


male Human Paladin 1

okay heres the reflex
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

"How funny, you dont seem to sound any different despite the missing tooth, maybe you'll sound different with a busted lip."
with that Sir Thomas takes a swing at irontusk
1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7


male Human Paladin 1

Onward to sapphire's barge
reflex 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

Sir Thomas will attempt to make his way to sapphires barge, going boat to boat.

1d20 - 5 ⇒ (7) - 5 = 2
1d20 - 5 ⇒ (19) - 5 = 14
1d20 - 5 ⇒ (12) - 5 = 7


male Human Paladin 1

Sir Thomas mutters a quick prayer to mayaheine and takes the leap to sapphires previous boat
1d20 - 5 ⇒ (11) - 5 = 6


male Human Paladin 1

heres the reflex save
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

SIr Thomas pulls himself into the boat as a move and casts detect evil and looks at Irontusk


male Human Paladin 1

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
1d20 - 3 ⇒ (17) - 3 = 14


male Human Paladin 1

Oh boy, a reflex save.
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3


male Human Paladin 1

"An elusive thing, isn't he?" Sir Thomas said to himself before making his way to the barge he was aiming for.

climb 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (19) - 3 = 16
acrobatics 1d20 - 5 ⇒ (1) - 5 = -4


male Human Paladin 1

Ugh, acrobatics, can someone say armor check penalty? Here's the initiative anyway.
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14


male Human Paladin 1

Sir Thomas wondered what form of "convincing" Luciano would use. "Well Luciano," Sir Thomas began, "we will see about the 'convincing' when it is necessary, for now let us be content to enjoy the morning and become acquainted with our new companion." Turning towards Joryn he said,"Hello Joryn, I do not believe I have been properly introduced. I am Sir Thomas Shineshield, a servant of Mayaheine, it is truly a pleasure to meet you." With that, Sir Thomas extended his hand with a smile.


male Human Paladin 1

if one is needed, here it is
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29


male Human Paladin 1

With a sigh Sir Thomas said, "I agree that we should get all we can out of the guards but you do remember you were assigned to my protection, correct? That being the case I will not allow you go into the slums of Greyhawk, especially sneaking around in the alleys, alone. So that is why you will stay with me, understood?" Sir Thomas did his best to be unphased by the pouting face of Sapphire.

That isnt some kind of check is it?


male Human Paladin 1

Sir Thomas thought about a course of action and eventually spoke up with, "Well, I think that instead of going to the guards for answers, I think we should go down to the docks and ask around there as more people are likely to know of him there. I do however, see some potential problems, for one, the docks are usually filled with unsavory characters who could be scared or allied with Irontusk and therefore would not give us any information for fear of their own safety. Also, me being a servant of Mayaheine, and Sapphire being the mouthpiece of Pelor, we would stick out like a sour thumb and attract unneeded attention. That is why I think we should have Luciano go and see what he can gather and come report back to us."

Looking at the two of his companions he said, "What do you think?"


male Human Paladin 1

Sir Thomas pauses before responding to Luciano, "As long as no further harm comes to them, I will comply. It is my duty to deliver these men to justice, and I intend to do it." Sir Thomas then took a position in the back and watched Luciano do his thing, watching to make sure he didn't have any objection to his methods.


male Human Paladin 1

Sir Thomas looks at the other man and turns towards him and says, "I'd surrender before you end up like your friend here. Now explain yourself."
Ready an action to attack if he tries to run away


male Human Paladin 1

Sir Thomas mentally prepares himself for combat and says a quick prayer to Myaheine and kicks open the door and attacks the first threat he sees.
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 231d10 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7


male Human Paladin 1

Muttering under his breath, Sir Thomas said, "It is truly a dark time when not even a towns blacksmiths are safe." Next he drew his sword and shield.
initiative
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22


male Human Paladin 1

heres mine
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8


male Human Paladin 1

Watching Sapphire leave and stroll across the street, Thomas stood up and said, "This little one is going to be a handful, eh? Would you like to come Luciano, im sure it is nothing, but on the off chance there is something sinister in there, it could never hurt to have backup." With that Thomas strode out of the inn in pursuit of Sapphire.


male Human Paladin 1

At the sight of Sapphire, Sir Thomas suddenly realized what he had forgotten, he had forgotten his charge! Inside he tore himself up but on the outside he did his best to keep his composure,"Ahh, a person of interest? Good work my friends, unfortunately, my searches did not bear such fruit. As Sapphire has said, the library was indeed closed causing sister Marie and I to have much more conversation than I had anticipated," Taking the apple, Thomas said, "Thank you Luciano, how unfortunate, you have not had the pleasure of a fresh apple in such a long time? You truly do not know what you're missing." With that, Thomas took a bite out of the apple.


male Human Paladin 1

Thomas looked at the two men, then at sister Marie, then back to the two men, "Well thank you for the information. Let us return to the temple, sister." As they turned around, Thomas looked at the two men with a look that said "Help me" and started on the way back to the temple trying to remember what it was he was forgetting.


male Human Paladin 1

Thomas will inform the others about the sisters offer, and when he will be leaving. If anyone wishes to come along, Thomas has no objection.


male Human Paladin 1

Deciding not to press the issue, Thomas turned to the halfling and said, "If you'll excuse me Sapphire, I plan to start asking around like Luciano, perhaps with the three of us split we can find our information faster." Thomas then stood up and followed Luciano out of the door.


male Human Paladin 1

Thomas listened closely, and looked at the halfling and gave a mental groan when the prelate said she was commended to his care. When he finished he returned Luciano's gaze, "How do you mean you once served as his right hand? You do not appear to be that old?" and turning to the halfling he said, "Hello, Sapphire was it? If you have not heard of me, my name is Sir Thomas Shineshield and I must agree with Luciano on this subject, the voice of the gods can be a great and terrible thing to channel, especially the voice of a god such as Pelor. However, while under my protection I will try to help relieve some of the stress of this burden."
Turning back to Luciano he said, "Once again I must agree, but I am afraid I do not understand the meaning of the 'Mad God's Key'"


male Human Paladin 1

Thomas pulled up a chair and glanced at the man next to him, quickly looking him up and down at his features and clothes,then he thought I wonder if i'll have the pleasure of working with these two, a paladin of my rank does not get called upon unless needed, somewhat joking with himself. Turning back to the prelate he said, "No i'm fine, thank you for offering though. So what is the mystery behind the little one?"


male Human Paladin 1

As Thomas is sitting in the main room of the inn, he is surprised as a messenger hurries in and hands him a letter. Scanning it, he quickly finishes his breakfast and heads towards the temple. He enters and heads towards the prelates office while looking around the temple and greeting the staff with a smile and good morning.
