Inn your face: Velinari seeing Duglan's response decides to ready an action to back away and stealth if Alba attempts to attack Velinari, or moves towards him
Inn'd:
Where da inn at: Velinari, regaining his composure moves out from behind the table to get a clear shot at the ghost(No grid labels, but roughly in front of the fireplace). Activating two charges in his knife, he hurls the his knife at the corpse. It bursts into flames and then swiftly returns to his hand. Atk: Piercing Dmg:
In the inn: Velinari passes back and forth thinking to himself
"Yes, go and be talking to the father, yes. Velinari will be in the waiting of here to make sure that all is as it is."
Velinari awkwardly stares at Gordel, not responding
"Harris, was this is all of what you may call necessary, yes? You may have just ruined a specimen of interesting nature, yes?"
Percp:
Velinari uses the advantages he has of higher ground and the stairs to once more strike out at Alba Atk:
Acrobatics:
Ready an action to attack from stealth Alaba is she comes within attack range (i.e. trys to move up the stair)
As Velinari continues his deadly dance, the flicker of the room seems to play tricks on your eyes. The faint shadows cast from the fireplace seem to move towards Velinari, as if being collected by his movements, slowly at first but then more rapidly the shadows seem to obscure him from view, making him all but disappear. Stealth: Perception DC 31: Velinari jump through the stair's banister, in a parkour esque style. Swinging himself into [C,-3] Acrobatics:
Velinari shifts his weight to the balls of his feet. With the lithe of a dancer Velinari twirls producing a blade in his free hand, and in one swift motion strikes at the ethereal creature. Continuing his dance, another twirl brings him out of the creatures reach and next to the bannister. Spring attack ending in [D,-2]:
Velinari stands up, pulling out his crossbow. He then moves to reposition himself, taking cover behind a table. (E-2)
Velinari continues to cower
Perception:
Velinari will search until he feels that he couldn't possibly do a better job. So maybe about an hour.
As the man tells his story Velinari smiles and nods. Velinari drinks a single pint of ale, nursing it through out the entire evening. As he passes out and Harris begins to assemble the troops, Velinari stands up, saying "It also might be a time, yes, that might be best to search the rest of the inn in it's entirety, yes. Such a thing would be in good of knowing to see if there were other things not yet come to the surface. If Quinn takes a guard, Velinari will endeavor to search the inn yes." With this Velinari proceeds to take Gordel's key chain and search the first floor of the inn looking for anything out of place (or for a basement/cellar) Taking 20:
Veldug: Smiling at the boy, but clearly loosing his patiencce, and starting to put the gold coin away, Velinari says, "You see, we a have a reason to believe that this woman can identify objects of origins of magic. Are you in the knowing of anyone in the village like that, yes? It might of a be of some help to this current mystery, Velinari thinks." If the boy continues to be of no use, Velinari is going to start making his way back towards the inn for other inquiries.
V+D: Velinari pulls out a golden coin and says, "There might even be a present in it for you.We,yes, are just on the look for the deputies house of living. We were a, yes, a told that his wife may a, have a, yes, a some information on the murderer. It would be a great a benefit to a know."
Dug+Vel: Velinari has no such plans of asking the deputy. Velinari, is going to wander around the town, until he finds someone to talk to. Preferably a child, male.
Sir Harris/ anyone reading over his shoulder:
Wisdom check on last pg's hint:
As they walk away, you can see Velinari whisper to Duglan,
Duglan/DC 20 perception check:
"While heading to the inn may be a good idea, I would rather be inquisitive of the deputies wife. She seem to know something of a gnome's amulet. To Velinari this says magic, yes. She may know a bit more than her husband may let lie loose between his lips. I say we turn from here to that house rather than make for the inn as previously the suggestion may have been,yes. Velinari also pulls out a journal and begins jotting some notes as they walk.
DC 20 perception check: [ooc]DM, feel free to change this DC, just ball parked it for seeing a scribbled note from a distance Journal Notes: Murder:
Towns Doings:
Notes:
As Velinari turns to the inn, he trys to strike up a conversation with Duglan, "You know, as arrived we did here, Gromtheb did mention some albino witches, and some wood wolves. Or do it the otherway I have it? Do you think responsible they are for these things? My experience with such creatures is limited, but maybe witches can grow trees, yes?.
Velinari remains silent, but makes no move to talk to the Sheriff. Instead he steers himself towards the Inn, and begins walking that direction.
Perception:
Sense Motive:
With this Velinari turns back to the corpse and this time takes a more careful examination. Taking 20 on my heal check Heal chk: 29 This time after a more drawn out examination, velinari once more turns to the group, wiping off his bloody hands on the rest of his robes, covering himself in blood. He does not seem perturbed in the slightest by the corpse or the bloody fluid, seemingly quite use to it. "This was not done by a master. You see these marks only by someone who is hasty, and not in a mind of state, yes. Many novices make marks like these on their first kill. Too much emotion and rage, not a premium thing for an assassin to do, yes. Also, this person killed while she was awake and in an aware of her assailant, yes. This also a mistake that a master does not make. The strokes on the body even suggest that she had a chance to move around, making her a chance to get away. This kill was not a well done thing, yes, even a baby could have made killed like this, yes. I can not appreciate this piece of art in any of a way, this sickens me. This is not an elegant thing, this is the work of a brute. We must find this murder, if not for the sack of this poor girl, but for the sack of showing this person how a real kill is to a be done, yes. This is Velinari's opinion yes."
Velinari moves to the side of the dead girl and begins quickly yet precisely examining the body from head to toe. Even taking hold and moving the arms and legs around, and moving his face very close to the skin. He occasionally pokes the corpse here and there. Velinari seems to pay no mind to getting blood on himself as he examines the girl.
DM:
Do I know what weapon was used? Carefully placing the body back, Velinari turns to the rest of the group and frowns, wiping his forhead with a blood stained hand. "This thing I don't know how to say, yes, but this body is still a bleeding, yes. This is not a premium thing. The body if killed 15 hours ago as said, should have stopped bleeding. There is something a not a right in a this case. Either someone is lying or I have lost my touch with dead bodies, and this is not I think the case, no."
"Yes,good good. The body we will inspect, before rest is layed on it, yes." and velinari comes along, still smiling.
Velinari gets excited at Quinn's remarks, then nods and smiles.
As Harris lists off the description of the killer, Velinari shifts nervously in his seat. Will Save:
Velinari smiles and silently bobs his head up and down in agreement with Ser Harris, and turns to go back to the town.
"If the town we're willing to yes, a hire us, to maybe investigate the murder ourselves, then yes, why not go back, I say."
Velinari looks up and addresses the boy with a smile, "As much as would yes, say that Duglan might do such an act, unfortunately, he was with us the whole night, yes. As this is, yes, the case, I would say that it is unlikely that he did such a thing as murder, yes. Last night at least.This Velinari thinks"
"Ah, we out not impose yes."
"Well, that was not to difficult of a job, Yes. Maybe we go and collect our reward. Although maybe we should a not a mention the fungus, Yes? Might make some people a unduely excited, yes."
DM: Does Velinari think that the could somehow turn the disease into a poison? Craft Alchemy:
If not dead, Velinari will attempt to tumble to 17,K
otherwise, move to 12,N.
Velinari uses his turn to attempt to restealth, moving to 16,L to 17,L
Velinari jumps into action, pulling out his dagger. As a swift action, Velinari shoots a quickfrost capsule onto his blade and using spring attack, he moves to 17,M (diagonal so uses 4 squares, but does not provoke AOO because of spring attack)
Atk:
and after effecting his blow, leaps back to 17,L (counts as 2 squares because of earlier diagonal, again no AOO because of spring attack) "While swift, Velinari does not seem so effective against these ants, yes."
Main Group: Velinari seems to merge into the shadows, blending with the surroundings. Stealth:
Velinari, seeing this conflagration of events, decides that he will take up the rear and follow the party into the cave, albeit silently, quietly taking up the rear.
Velinari Sheaths his knife (standard) and begins to reload his bow (move)
Velinari 5ft shifts to 34,T. Still holding the unloaded crossbow in his left hand, Velinari uses his move action to draw his dagger . He then strikes out at the beast:
