"I am also ready to go now."
Clandru:
Everyone: XP for saving the young noble:75 each.
You set out for the castle, the fires in different areas cast an eerie glow on the low-lying smoke clouds, breathing is difficult, due to the smoke inhalation. The scene is surreal as the smoke and flickering light source combine with the sounds of combat and screams of women and children create an atmosphere of complete confusion. It's as if Korvosa has been transported straight to the Nine Hells...a site which is almost confirmed as an imp flies past you with a burning piece of timber cackling with glee as it drops the timber onto a thatch roof, which immediately blazes up. You can't help but wonder if anyone was inside when suddenly you hear a shrieking child.
Sorin scans the house to see a way in and runs toward it to help. "Follow me if you want I am going in."
As you approach, some burning thatch falls towards Sorin, who quickly tumbles out of the way, only singeing a patch of your hair, which you put out quickly, the burning thatch on the interior of the house falls in front of the single window, you hear a crash of a cabinet falling and more cries of anguish from inside. Sorin you reach the front door and attempt to open it, the door moves open approximately an inch, fingers grab at the door from inside attempting to pull it open, but it won't budge. You see a green eye peering through the hole, and a panicked female voice cries. "Help Us!!!"
"Back away from the door if you can." Sorin yells at the children inside. "Dorran, Mirra do your best charging bull impression, they need us." he yells over his shoulder and steps out of the way.
Mockingly Marra looks around for "Mirra" then she says "Ah me..."
She then charges the door...crashing into it with her full force. There's a loud screech as the heavy cabinet moves a couple more inches.
Clandru move to a window and tries to smash it with his glaive
The building only has the one window, as you smash the window, the fire flares more as the oxygen rushes in.
Sorin: even as small as you are, you can't quite fit through the opening, you need at least 1 more inch.
Not exactly sure what to do, Pavo will approach the burning building and lend some vocal support to the ones hitting the door as he removes his cloak and casts a simple Prestidigitation spell to soil his cloak, hoping the soiled condition helps to protect it from the flames as he begins to beat at the flames, doing his best to put them out as he shouts, "Dorran, help Marra, we need to get through that door!!"
DORRAN
Dorran lends his shoulder to the door, there's a loud screeching then the door's movement stops, the cabinet is stuck, but there is now enough room for Sorin to squeeze in.
Sorin darts foward and squeezes through the gap in the door.
Sorin:
DM
Sorin yells through the crack in the door. "Here take the kid, I need to help get the other one." Sorin passes a child out of the gap in the door.
DM
Is the window big enough for one to pass through ?
Clandru:
"Dorran, take the child"
Marra draws her falcata and begins hacking at the door with the heavy blade after the child is passed through.
"SORIN!" "GET OUT OF THERE!!"
The door begins to weaken visibly between the heat and the blows from the heavy blade
Damage to Wooden door
Sorin hears Marra yelling behind the door but just wraps his wet cloak around himself rushes after the women.
SORIN:
CLANDRU:
As Clandru wrestles with the thought of entering the building through the window, and Marra hacks at the door while Dorran consoles the now crying child. A patrol of the City Guard arrives on scene.
"Get away from that building...it's going to collapse." the Sergeant states in a matter of fact tone.
"We can't!" Shouts Marra, "The mother and our friend are still inside...Help or stay out of the way."
Dorran: "Sergeant, I'm Dorran Kelvar of the Sable Company, have your men help us with this fire."
"Clandru, can you create water as other priests can?" even a little water might help." Dorran shouts.
Not wanting anymore to suffer than whose who have already, Pavo leaps through the window and lands on the other side. Seeing the mess he had gotten himself into, the young sorcerer looks around and, not spotting Sorin, shouts, "Sorin! Where are you!" Then sets to work removing whatever obstruction is blocking the door.
Clandru if you want, you can make it through before Pavo...
Sorin hears Pavo yell, "Back here, the mother is down." Sorin scoops up the child and starts back to the door.
clandru will also enter through the window then
CLANDRU/PAVO/SORIN:
CLANDRU:
Pavo: Perception Check
DC 10:
DC15:
DC20:
CLANDRU: you still haven't updated your character to level 2...
As soon as Pavo enters the burning, smoke filled room, his senses are suddenly hampered as he begins to cough violently. This was definitely much different than what he was use to, but he would be damned if the children and mother here were injured due to his inaction. However, even with the supernatural perception that Pavo's bond with Alistar grants him, the young sorcerer can only make out black smoke and red flame through the tears that cloud his vision. Thinking he hears Sorin's voice among the chaos, he does his best to head in that direction, hoping to aid his new friend in saving the occupants of the house.

Pavo:
I know how hard it is to DM games, this post is not to be a pain in your ass. It is just to let you now that I am enjoying it.
Sorin:
Clandru:
Sorin sees Pavo stumbling around in the smoke. Great so I have to rescue everyone!!
"Pavo get lower and listen for my voice." Sorin yells as he drags the child closer to the door.
You hear a horrible screaming from the woman, some thrashing and then it's suddenly choked off...you fear the worst has happened...
CLANDRU's Roll: 1d20=12
Clandru manages to dislodge the Chest of drawers, the door splinters with the town guard assisting Marra now. The rush of additional air causes the fire to flare. 2 fire dmg to all in the building.
Sorin drags the child closer to the door but several burns on his bare feet and the heat in the building is taking it's toll.
Hearing the door break apart and feeling the heat as the fire flares from the added air, Pavo shouts "Everyone, help Sorin get the occupants out of here!" as he crouches down a bit to get out of the worst of the smoke. Then he moves closer to the door to help move the children out of the building as well as get a breath of much needed fresh air.
Clandru?
Sorin/Pavo please hang in there...I don't want this game to die...so please be patient.
Edit: Also, sad to see you go. Perhaps we'll play in another game sometime!
I have a few games who want to make the switch, so I will be getting the final version anyway. I can't wait to see what the final version will be like. I am in this for the long haul, so no need to worry about me dropping.
Clandru rushes back into the building as Pavo and Sorin stagger out of the building, Pavo still coughing out a lungful of smoke. Moments later a burned Clandru staggers to the destroyed window and hands the mother off to a pair of the guards as the building collapses around him...the fire flares as the thatch blazes, and everyone has to take a few steps back as the heat is so intense.
As you examine the mother, it looks as though she's already been healed, where her clothing is burned to a crisp, only fresh pink skin shows through, covered in soot, she appears to be no worse for wear, though she is still unconscious...you were sure she'd been dead...
Sorin starts back towards the building to help Clandru escape when the building collapses. "Clandru!!" Sorin staggers back from the heat trying to see if Clandru is truly gone.
Dorran: "Clandru...no...I swear, Clandru, you will be remembered..."
"No time for that now" Dorran states with teary eyes. "Sergeant, we're on our way to the castle, we could use an escort...I need to report in, and these heroes wish to assist their city. I can vouch for their integrity and skill."
"Yessir, we'll escort you to the castle. Quickly now...let's move, bring the mother and children...They can be put up for now..."
Pavo, you're amazed at how much the girl child looks like your sister...
