Working on this one - not sure what your deadline is, but here he is for now. I had a halfling bomber/knowitall/helper - but the aid aspects never really worked that well. Never played a tiefling before, but beween the redemption concepts and a little different focus, it felt like a good opportunity. I will finish this up today, but I think it gives a decent picture of where I am going with it. Skill focused scout and trap disable, with controlled bombs as the focus for combat.
I was starting to wonder what was up. Thanks for letting us know. It's supposed to be relaxing, not a chore, so I get it. Thanks for your time and efforts GMing us this far. Best of luck to you!
Ziebodug, seeing no easy opening, starts throwing +1 shuriken at the remaining charlatan.
Zie continues to lay into Once-Iesha. "Done... talking..."
Ziebodug goes primal on the life-sucking monster.
Ziebodug moves to help Elana, but trying to rip the throat out of the creature.
"Yah, I think you're right, Jim. Let's have a drink." Ziebodug downs his mutagen, becoming more bestial as he grows claws, and his eyebrows grow together. "I'm having shapeshifters for dinner!"
"OK, then. It is nice we can sit and talk this through." Ziebodug enters the study and finds a seat.
Careful Jace. You are walking a fine line."
Guess the hunting trip is out, now... "Clearly, good man, we have been grasping for straws for a bit now, and these murders have us perplexed. We were quite surprised to find you and the missus here, and so we are not at out best. I think if we all agree to sit and talk, no one needs be worried. You ok, ma'am? We didn't frighten you too much? Please, let's sit..." looking at Jace, "on our hands, if need be."
"If you don't mind, we would like to talk to you about some recent events, and see if you can help us figure them out..." Ziebodug looks to the others to see how far he should take this.
"Yep, looks good." Ziebodug thanks the lady, gathers his supplies, and heads back to the Inn to wait for Jace. ----- "Me, I prefer the direct approach. Let's knock on the door and ask some questions. We all know something ain't right here."
"It is an ongoing story. If you really want details, I am sure we can give you something of interest. Meanwhile, I like your suggestions. How can I go about getting these items?" Zie will buy 5 holy waters and 3 haunt bombs if he can.
"For that matter, anything you can give us to help against haunts or undead creatures would be, by us, most appreciated."
"Tell you what, a few prayers couldn't hurt these days..." Zie will follow along.
"Agreed." Zie waits for Jace to return.
Ziebodug digs into breakfast, and finishes packing his gear for the day. "Follow? Have we seen the man return yet? I say we go in and look around. We stiff have a key, right? So we aren't really breaking in..."
"zzzzz.....zzzzz.....zzzzzz....."
Ziebodug fishes out a gold coin, and pays for his room. Once shown the way, he goes up and falls asleep quickly.
Ziebodug starts to fish a gold coin out of his coin sack when the guards arrive. "Doing? Well, to be perfectly honest, we weren't 'doing' anything. However, we do have business with Aldern Foxglove and he doesn't appear to be around. He invited us for dinner last night. We were starting to wonder if everything was ok, and contemplated trying to enter to find out. In the end, though, we decided to wait until morning." "Do you know Mr. Foxglove?"
Yah, I get the frustration. This medium is pretty slow for times when the group doesn't know what to do. The questions Zie poses are really meant for the GM, but for other players to try to reach a consensus. I had thought we were going to speak to local law enforcement next, but then the fatigue checks started and it seems we need to regroup. My suggestion would be that we get rooms, get some rest, then go talk to local law, and then try back at the residence - knocking first, but failing that, entering. So the visit should take place at night.
Ziebodug, having an agreement from at least Raj, groggily stumbles back to the tavern to tell Jim he is looking for a room. "We need to get some sleep, and we look like idiots walking around out there." He asks the barkeep if he has rooms to rent, and if not, where nearby would be a decent place to get a room.
"Maybe we should get some rest and regroup?"
"I agree. At least if we talk to the local law, they will know who we are and they might even have some information we can use."
Ziebodug enjoys his soup, and orders a round of medicinal aquavit. "Always good to see what the locals have brewed up."
"Hey Jim. Move over - I am exhausted. And hungry. But did get some nice vegetables while I was out."
"Agreed. Let's find Jim."
"Sorry if I offended, I intended nothing illegal or untoward. Thanks for the information." Then back to the others, "Well, I guess we are back to square one."
Zie chuckles at Jace's approach, and holds up the two gold coins in hopes to help entice an answer. "Glad to see you joined us." Waiting for Elena to give the description, Zie watches to see the guards reactions.
"Those guards would have seen them leave. Let's ask them - but they look busy, so we better make it worth their time." Zoe pulls out a couple gold pieces to warm the approach.
Zie mocks looking offended at all of the jibes, but those root vegetables do smell good. "Deal!" he shouts, paying the man a silver for his wares. Turning to the others, he says "We found the place once, so I expects we can find it again. Meanwhile, though, let's check the gate. I fear our friends may be skipping town."
I will take a look. Based on what little I read, it sounds pretty cool. Also, I am going to be travelling a bit this weekend. It is only supposed to be 24 hours, but there are expectations of ice storms which can certainly interfere with driving plans. I will try to chime in, but access will be pretty limited while I am out.
"You must spend a lot of time here, seeing people come and go. Perhaps you saw our friends?" Ziebodug gives the best description he can of the couple. "Also, those carrots look pretty decent. How much?"
Thanks for the game, GM Bold! I admit, for the most part I have been in PFS mode because it fits my schedule, but I have quite enjoyed being part of a longer storyline. It is a much different feel, and has been a lot of fun! In fact, it has inspired me to start planning to run my own AP (probably not until after this Blood under Absalom special). I was thinking Giantslayer...
"Saw a tracker doin' it once, so thought I would give it a try. Certainly, it is not as useful as it looked." Zie stands up and brushes himself off, hoping to retain a small shred of dignity.
"So many comings and goings. I fear we have lost them."
"We lost our target, but I think she was headed out this gate. How did you do?"
Ground Team Beta (GM; Zie): "Yah, sorry. I know, I move pretty fast for a dwarf." Zie waits for Jace to be able to walk along side him.
Ground Team Beta-Zie and Jace: "Let's see if we can cut them off at the gate." Zie makes haste for the northeast gate.
GM,Jace: "I can try..." Zie looks around for any signs.
Zie/Jace/GM: Zie looks at Jace. "You ok? I am afraid we lost him. Want to split up and look around, or should we head back and find the others?"
I will be out the next two days anyway, so no worries!
GM, Jace: Zie tries to make sense of Elani is doing and where she might be going as he wades through the crowded streets.
"Agreed." Zie follows Aldern.
"Venison stew? That does sound good. But if we have to be going.... perhaps we can call again and catch you up on Sandpoint news?"
Ziebodug scratches his head, and then says "I may need a drink..."
"Where is Aldern now?"
