Yeah, same. I'm hopin he's okay, even if he's not up to running any longer.

"Is the door trapped? If so, I can attempt to disarm that first."
"Good sir Timmons, you said our friend the Cardinal has told you about what's behind some of the doors down here. Is this the room with the metal cobras?" Talia purrs at the former Mitran squire.
"While he is telling the truth about the Cardinal, he is also a squire in service to Mitra." The thief informs the rest of the group. She chuckles at Augie's question. "I'm in no need for a pet at the moment, but I'm sure we can find some sort of use for him. If nothing else, he'll serve as a guinea pig for our concoctions..."
Talia hangs back a bit at first, but her natural curiosity draws her closer to this 'Timmons', her sharpened senses alert for any falsehoods. She circles around him, very much the cat stalking the mouse, trying to see if she spots anything that might tell her more about him, or put the lie to his statements. She doesn't speak, as the others have that handled. She instead just watches and waits, a silent predator with her captured prey.
Talia waits impatiently for her companions to figure out their next move, bouncing a bit on the balls of her feet. While she was quite clever and intelligent, these seemingly religious riddles and wordplay were outside her area of expertise.
Ahem: This is the discussion thread. Perhaps we should take this over to gameplay? lol
I'm a dummy, and forgot to add my 2nd level HP, nor did I pick a rogue talent. I'm looking at either Bomber which would let me make 4 bombs per day or Hairpin Trick which would make me that much better at disarming traps. Thoughts?
Talia steps up to the doorway, and tosses a flask of alchemist fire at the rough area of where the sphere of darkness is.
"Hmm. We haven't come across any enemies or adversaries, nor is there anything blinding us. Well, expect for this darkness, and I'm not sure how we could shatter that. Unless somebody has a spell that creates light?" Talia muses while stopped before the locked door. She does not yet attempt to unlock it, however, and she will try to prevent anybody else from doing so as well. "I'm not sure we've completed this challenge just yet." She'll warn should another try the door.
"I'll go, as I said, I'm a bit more proficient in the use of such concoctions. However, if Lilitu or anybody else would like to accompany me as backup, I won't say no."
"I'm unsure why the priest is the chosen one to attempt to search for traps, as opposed to person who can actually disable them. Best of luck, however!" Talia says, clearly confused by the group choosing Lilitu to venture down the hallway.
Talia sighs a bit loudly at the display of icy attacks. "While I applaud your efforts, I should remind you that we have a time limit, and there's no telling what other obstacles might be in our way."
Talia will attempt to disarm the trap on the Eastern door.
Talia barely notices the cold, a benefit of having fur, but still shivers a bit at the sudden temperature drop. Using her extra keen senses, she scans the room, trying to find something useful.
"Actually, if you don't mind dearie, I'd like that flask. I'm a bit better suited in their use."
"Apologies for the confusion. I lack the ability to disarm magical traps, but I should be able to handle most mundane ones. I don't suppose one of you can sense magical traps?" Talia asks the rest of the group.
Sorry for the delay guys. Despite getting about 11 hours of sleep Sun-Mon, I was absolutely exhausted yesterday. Talia traded out the trapfinding class feature, but she can still disable mundane traps with a +9 to DD. Do we know if the trap(s) are magical? I sure hope we have somebody capable of casting Detect Magic, lol
As I told our fiendish GM, I've been working NYCC all week. Have been way too tired to reply. Maybe tomorrow, but likely Mon night.
Normally I let the players track ammo, but alchemy stuff like acid and chemist fire I want tracked. I am not the fun police. If you are a dedicated archer build I tend to get a bit more tracker and also gunfighters... I just meant like non magical, non masterwork, non alchemical, purely mundane crossbow bolts. Obviously Talia isn't a dedicated archer, but she is somewhat of an alchemist/poisoner, so those creations will be tracked.
Are we gonna be tracking entirely mundane ammo? If not these are my purchases: Rogue Kit
That leaves me with 30g, which I might spend on helping to equip Grumbles.
Can we not have another crazy butcher character?? Also, we lost a female PC, so I would prefer our replacement be another lady, to help keep the boys in line :P
It just occurred to me, Augier is a cook. Talia is a poisoner. Does that suggest any synergy?!? lololol
Hello! I'm one of the players in this game! We currently have a Barbarian, an Oracle/Kineticist, a Witch, a Sorcerer, and myself(Rogue). Lookin forward to whomever is chosen joinin our merry band of evil!
Talia pops the claw on her index finger, slashes her forearm, and signs her name(which seems to be a lot longer than 'Talia') in a language none save maybe the Cardinal would understand.
Okay, seriously, what's with our barbarian's obsession with me? I didn't eat your stupid food, and I most certainly didn't see in your lap! You're gross and smell bad!!
The rogue shrugs her shoulders. "Eh, easy come, easy go. I was going to murder them all anyways, so why not have the backing of a powerful Cardinal of the great Asmodeus to make it even easier?" She says with a wicked grin.
Talia waits a bit impatiently, hoping from one foot to another, curious to see who or what was on their way.
Unfortunately, that cursed cat was there again and was smugly sitting there amongst the empty dishes and licking it's paws when he entered.
While normal cats usually detested water and bathing, Talia was rather fond of the pampering a good bath could provide. She indulged in the warm, soapy water, soaking for quite some time. If any servants offered to help wash or comb her fur, she gladly allowed them, and would start purring contentedly over such attention. After the nice, long bath, she lounged around her room while occasionally grabbing a bite of food. Truly, she was reveling in the luxury provided.
Taila boldly walks up to the front door, and knocks loudly.
Once they were fully clear of the prison, Talia takes a long moment to breathe in the fresh air of freedom. She stretches languidly, and grins. "Ah, to be outdoors! I thought I would maybe never feel a cool breeze or smell the forest again!." She sniffs the air, and gestures towards where she believes the manor lies. "Come, this way!"
"The window. Back at the other end of the bridge? Past all the dogs, and the guards firing at us?. I'll pass." Talia says in reply to Audi's ridiculous question. "Anybody know the way to that manor?" She asks the group.
"Let us run!" and with that, Talia dashes forward.
The catfolk somersaults past the guard her orcish companion attacked, and rakes his back her vicious claws.
Agree with the group about a replacement, and a possible return for Lapyd in the future. We could just have their PC follow along, and if we absolutely need to, somebody can bot her for a particular scene.
As soon as she's able to, Talia nimbly dives through the window towards freedom.
"Oh, yes, use the window! That should let us escape quickly!"
Talia arches a questioning eyebrow at Audi. "Do we not already have a set of keys? Regardless of which option we choose, we should be smart about it. I don't think we'll survive if we just charge ahead blindly." She says, pointedly looking at Aggghhh.
"Grumblejack, wait. There's no need for you to needlessly sacrifice you life for us. You're a member of our pack now, we all escape together. We'll resume this hunt later."
"I would greatly prefer to not die here, if that's at all possible, yeah?" Talia says, slightly annoyed the boys wanna murder Blackery. She does too, of course, but maybe freedom should come first.
Oh sure, the PCs who almost haven't died twice are all for goin and killin Blackery! :P /sigh, I clearly joined up with a bunch of bloodthirsty madmen. I just wanna get out of here, and not die...
"Please no more dogs." Implores the catfolk. "Don't forget, we have an appointment to keep, let us not delay."
"It would be really great if one of us had a bow right about now..." Talia says exasperatedly.
The cook hands you the keys and the apron and another cook grabs a spare pair of pants and a shirt and hands it to you. You also have two bloodied guard uniforms next to the wedged door. This takes one round with the whole group working together. There's 6 of us, 7 if you count Grumblejack, but only two wanted a disguise. They should be the only two spending the round getting the clothing. Meanwhile, Audi is locking the door. That should also take one round(the same as getting disguises). Meanwhile, the rest of us should be going after Blackery in that same round. Unless I'm drastically missing something, that is. Which I very well might be as it's 6am for me, and I need to head to bed, lol. |
