Wheeler Fire's page

Wheeler would be available, Lvl 1 inspired blade swashbucklerI'm not new to PbP, but haven't touched this one.

Got it. Thanks

We can try, but I've heard stories about this Captain Dreng. Sounds like it's even money that there's no one to deliver that too.

Power is back which means wifi is back. Cell service is better, but not fully reliable. Wheeler is ready to continue bleeding out.

Got hit by the wind storm in Iowa. No power, no internet, almost no cell. Could be 2-5 days. I'll post as I can.

Bleeding profusely Wheeler begins to duel his attacker.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Attack, confirm: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Sword drawn Wheeler steps into the room.

Perceptio: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

Ready boys? Here's to stabbing more than we get stabbed.

Once everyone is set Wheeler proceeds down the hole.

I don't have any healing powers myself, but I won't object to any healing offered.

Can someone give Robbin a hand? Looks like he got tagged up there. They're going to be ready for us, so let's be ready for them being ready.

Little sticky and scraped up from that ooze, but alright. Looks like they did a number on Gorak and Cortland, though.

Wheeler chases after the skulk.

single move first, second action depends on what he sees when he comes around the boxes.

sorry, bad phrasing. Taking full round to wipe off the goo. The parry is assuming he steps up and attacks after I'm goo free.

Dirty pool old man.

Wheeler takes a step back and wipes the slime off before holding up his rapier.

En garde

Parry: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Riposte: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Wheeler takes a step back and lobs his vial at the furthest patch of the swarm.

touch attack, entangled: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 5 - 4 = 19
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Wheeler takes a step back to put some distance between himself and Cortland and reaches into his pack for a small vial.

5 ft step, pull a vial of acid

Wheeler takes a step back and sends a got of flame over the swarm.

Burning Hands SLA, DC 13

Burning Hands: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Wheeler draws his rapier as he tries to slip into a new piece of cover.

Stealth: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

double move and draw

Wheeler follows Cortland in, keeping an eye out for a chance to break away a sneak in the back.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Stealth: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

The warehouse is the place to go, yes, but with finesse. He won't give us anything and anything he would give us would be worthless. We just have to go in with finesse.

Won't work. He'll tell the magistrate he lied to get us to stop and we'll be ignored. We need something physical that inextricably ties him to everything, a magic item, missing jewelry, hand written notes, anything that the sheriff can hold on to and use to pin him down.

Look, sheriff, I know our evidence is pretty thin at the moment. You know the trouble started before we arrived. Trust that it wasn't us. We know it wasn't the circus. Give us a chance to find out who did do it, not just who it wasn't. Give us 24 hours.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

You'd do it for Randolph Scott.

I'd like to try and solve the mystery, but could really use a recap. Especially with overloading my plate during Outpost I've lost track of some things.

So, bad news first. The kids are orphans now. We found their parents and a will after a scuffle with some intruders. The curious part, and the children can verify this part, is that Mr. Monchello wasn't at the manor. There were some goons and someone who looked an awful lot like Robbin. This makes me wonder how Mr. Monchello could make such bold accusations. The will turns control of the Braeton estate over to the council to hold for the children, but gives them the option to sell it. An arrangement I would guess benefits Mr. Monchello... saying this all together also has me wondering if the will is real. The office was ransacked. Why was something like that left out?

There was also a young lad who mentored being afraid of Mr. Monchello's skulks and we have bumped into a lot of skulls as we've been investigating. I know none of this on it's own proves his guilt or involvement, but it's a awful lot of coincidences pointing his way.

Sheriff, would you please come speak to us privately? We'll stand unarmed, in full view, but there are things you must know.

Children, you are free to go. The sheriff's men can keep you safe. We apologize for scaring you.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

There's a time for a natural 20 and this is one of them.

After hearing what the others found Wheeler speaks to the other agents in a low voice.

Easy money that's their father. Grab the will and let's find the sheriff. We'll have to bring the kids along.

Robbin, why don't you, Ninnic, and Cortland give the rest of the house a look over while we keep the children safe. You have the best chance to spot something out of place, maybe a clue as to why the house was being raided.

Let's grab the others, and the kids if they haven't found anyone to watch them, before we go. I don't trust that whoever wants to pin this on us will leave them alone.

Sense Motive: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (16) - 1 = 15

Unwilling to trust anyone who has been out of his sight Wheeler asks

Why don't you lead us to the sheriff? We were just on our way to find her.

Ugh, a shapeshifter. Gorak, bring the kids or leave them, but I have a feeling we're going to need all eyes on this. Let's hope we can follow these tracks.

Let's be quick. We don't want the imposter getting too much of a head start.

Wheeler shimmies down the rope to help Robbin with the tracks.

Climb: 1d20 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 - 1 = 19

Survival: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

Stay here kids. We're going to go stop the bad man.

We did go in the door he did when he fled, right?

Wheeler tries his hand at soothing the children.

It's alright now. This is not the man who came in before. Did you see where he went?

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Wheeler moves to the window and looks down,

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

while keeping an eye on the children.

Keep an eye out. We don't know that he left the room.

Disable Device: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

I can probably pick it, but smashing it down would likely be faster.

Wheeler moves to the door and waits for the rest of the crew.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

While he waits Wheeler checks the door over for locks and traps, before listening to see if "Robbin" is inside

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Wheeler takes a quick poke at the guard in front of him, though his stab goes wide.

You know this would be the time to surrender, right? But I'm guessing you're going to keep thinking you still have a chance aren't you, you orc brained buffoon.

With the minions occupied Wheeler hops up to help Gorak.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Wheeler immediately engages the rapscallion that appeared next to him.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

I take it you're the cause of the town's recent troubles.

Best wishes. We'll be ready when you are.

Maybe, but I'd hate to leave someone at our backs.

Wheeler says as he draws his rapier and throws open the door.

Guess we'll have to rouse the master of the house ourselves.

Wheeler moves to the closest set of doors to begin searching for Braeton.

Wheeler walks in

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

and after a quick look around calls out.

Mister Braeton! Please present yourself. We are here on behalf of the sheriff.

Wheeler is fine with front/middle

Grab the card and the note. Let's go see Arhaneem Braeton. If he isn't involved I'd be willing to wager he has a good idea who would want to see this mess turn against him. This isn't just murder. This body has been mutilated, far beyond reasonable retaliation. Someone wants this town in a frenzy.
