Dar' eying the two characters, watches them leave the building trying as hard as possible to see what, if anything they might be taking out of the museum.

Perception 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17

He then raises his voice to the others and says "Just popping outside for a while, come and follow if you want!".

With that he leaves the Exhibitionary and follows the two members of Her Majestrix's Expeditionary, keeping about 35 ft behind them, trying not to show he is following them.

Bluff 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

Osiriontologist:
Longstrider in effect, speed 45ft


Just to be sure, Heydar is in the room with the mask.


If someone is going to try to steal the mask, go ahead and do it. Everyone else, let me know what your relative location is.

Dar'erthan:
Passing by Scepter on your way out, you tail the other two for no more than 100 feet outside the museum. Xaven and Hroken stop and stand in place, looking back ath Exhibitory.

** spoiler omitted **

Heydar is two up and four right of the mask. Are there windows in this place?

Dar' feels a certain amount of embarrassment, his face flushed thinking the 2 men were looking straight at him, "I really don't think I was cut out for this cloak and dagger stuff, perhaps I'll just watch and see what transpires. I'm sure Calib is managing to get the mask loaned him by the museum right now." he thinks to himself.

Dar' decides to take his place under a nearby palm, in the shade and watch what transpires. Leaning nonchalantly on the rough surface of the trunk he keeps one eye on the two men and another on the door of the Exhibitory, waiting for his friends to exit. As he watches the two men of Her Majestrix's Expeditionary, he notices what they are doing and tries to make sense of what they are doing out here.

Sense Motive 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

I assume he will be about 60ft from the door, just off the main path to the Exhibitory

"Ok, I've got an idea. While i distract the rest of the guest in this room, i subtly cast a spell of silence over the display and you Heydar, should be able to take the mask without anyone hearing the alarm."

If they agree, Calib will first cast expeditious retreat on himself. Next he will wait untill there is only 6 guests in the room and start a lecture on ancient Osirion (using Oratory and Act to fascinate them), turning their attention away from the mask display.
If any guards are present he will use suggestion ("I'm flattered that you find my knowledge interesting, but shouldn't you be patroling in the other room?"). Once any guards are dealt with and people are fascinated he will keep the fascination and cast silence over the mask display.
On his cue Heydar should move in, grab the mask and run for it. If anything goes wrong and Calib need to flee, he does so using a combination of his already boosted speed (expeditious retreat), his grease spelland his mirror image spell. If any guards should catch up to him he uses glittering dust to blind them.
If he isn't asociated with the theft he will try and cast grease after the last of the party has left the museum.
Action wise it goes something like this:
round 1: expeditious retreat, get everyone in the rooms attention
Round 2: Fascinate
Round 3: Maintain fascinate (free action), Suggestion on guards
Round 4: Maintain fascinate (free action), Silence on display
Round 5: Maintain fascinate, give Heydar his cue.

That is 1 lvl 1 spell, 1 lvl 2 spell, and 4 rounds of bardic performance

If he fails to fascinate all in the crowd, are there are too many guests/guards he suggest they use his wand of silent image and a ghost sound spell to fake a theft from another display

a plan

ok


Devlin will stand next to the the only entrance to the room ready to "blunder" into any guards that may come into the room.

The faked theft sounds like a good idea as well.

Just so you all know, I have family visiting this weekend and Bank Holiday (its a national holiday in the UK on Monday, whoopee), so I doubt I will be able to post much over this period. Dar would do the following if there is a commotion in the Exhibitory and you want to move on. He will wait outside waiting for all the party to leave out the door. Once out the door, if they are making a fast exit as if chased, will place obscurring mist over the entrance to the Exhibitory.


Let me know when you start.

Still waiting outside for something to happen


Calib begins his oratory. Four visitors of the museum gather close to Calib and listen intently. One of the guards begins watching and listening from further away.

Calib proceeds as planned, first fascinating the four listeners and the guard (dc 17) then suggesting the guard to patrol somewhere else (dc 17) and when he leaves cast silence on the display, camoflaged by his lecture on ancient Osirion.


Heydar causally walks by the display of the mask, nods to Calib and Devlin, then picks up the mask.


Don't jump ahead of me, everyone.

Calib advises the guard to patrol the another room, away from the mask. The guard snaps back, "I know how to do my job. Go ahead and continue with your little lecture, there."

".. And so the old pharao secured himself a piece of Osirion with this staff. Now if you would join me at the next display, i'm going to tell you about.." Calib lead the audience to a display near the guard, trying to block his vision, and proceed as planned.

If it is not possible, he will sneak in a ghost sound spell sounding like something crashing in the next room


Calib casts Silence on the display, and then Heydar picks up the mask. The guard watching Calib immediately yells, "STOP!"

Roll initiative.

Atun:
Right next to you, you see Scepter smile as he watches this scene unfold. He begins drawing his wand rifle.

Map

AR = Atun; DG = Devlin; HA = Heydar; CA = Calib
X = guard; S = Scepter

Dar'erthan is near the bottom of the map.


Initiative 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 awesome

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 initiative


1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 initiative

initiative 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

not really the quickest bunch

Dar' is still watching both the door and the 2 other guys


Initiative order: Calib, Scepter, Atun, guards, Devlin, Heydar

There's no surprise round. Round 1 is up.

Is this game in its death throws, been over a week sine anyone but me or Osiriontologist posted? Which is a real shame, cos it looks like its just about to get real interesting.

I'm waiting for my turn....


If you're still here, post your actions for the round.


I would prefer to wait for the guards to move to help plan my move.

ready an action

Spoiler:
if scepter attacks the party Atun will grapple him, if not Atun will intersept any guards that come as reinforcements

Perception to hear anything that sounds like the rest of the group have done something inside the Exibitory. 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28


Round 1

Calib casts a Grease spell on floor directly in front of him, catching the nearby guard off-balance. The guard tries to maintain his footing, but falls

Scepter, meanwhile, screams out, "GUARDS, THEY'RE TRYING TO STEAL THE RELIC!" He brings the bayonet of his wand rifle to Atun's face, smirking smugly. "You dont think you're away, do you?" The two guards near the door turn their attention to Atun.

Atun, since Scepter acts ahead of you, a ready action won't work against him.


Heydar sprints towards Atun and Scepter with the mask, then strait at Scepter as he stands there smirking and pointing his wand rifle at Atun. Then suddenly it is apparent Heydar is about to crash into Scepter.

Improved Overun 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31

Booyah!


Dar'erthan:
You hear the sounds of battle coming from within the museum. Apparently, the others have decided to go through with the heist. Moments later, the sound of whistle from inside screams through the air, and within seconds, half a dozen wandering Sothis guardsmen converge at the entrance. They rush into the Exhibitory and a whistle blows once more. You see Heydar break through the exit, only to be tackled from behind by two guards.

Before you realized it, almost two dozen guards have appeared to help out at the Exhibitory. Heydar has been restrained, and eventually, Atun, Devlin, and Calib are being led dragged out of the museum, either unconscious, or with restraints.

When you look back around to check on the member of Her Majestrix's Expeditionary, they've gone. The four co-members of your party are taken away, presumably to prison.

Dar'erthan returns into the Exhibitory, seeing the damage caused and where the relic is now. Deciding this is not the time and place to take the relic with all the guards still remaining, he goes outside. casting longstrider on himself he starts after and follows the prisoners to their destination.

He then returns to Scarab Mistral and tells her the failure of the rest of the party at the Exhibitory. He tells her of the involvement of Her Majestrix's Expeditionary and that it looks like they were instrumental in the diasaster that befell. He leaves his details with Scarab Mistral, "Call me, I look forward for the chance to work for you again in the near future. When you gather more Pathfinders to do your work, I may be considered as one who would prove themselves again to you."

Gryphon Gold:
His details are deevor at the live dot com mailing house.


Dar'erthan:
What?

Osiriontologist:
Just my email details in a slightly cryptic way, so if you decide to restart this, then just let me know and Dar' will return once more. I assumed that the last entry you wrote was to close this down and so I just left my character ready to rejoin this or a different Osirion adventure in the future.
