SSRL2 Catch Me If You Can

[Moggthegob]

Hey all welcome to Catch me if you can.

I already have you all linked and bookmarked from last time.

Learning from previous adventures I would like all buffs listed at the end of every post while they are as well as current HP, AC(touch and FF), PP, and intiative while in combat. It saves me on average about 20 minutes and a lot of arguments.

I need a Judge as well.

Gene leaves the bar and wishes you all well.

So, how are you getting to the Shadow Marches in a quick manner so as to prevent the bad guy from getting away?

Also, this could be a good oppritunity to buy some things before heading back out to the swamp.

(OOC: I'm not really familiar with where the Eberron quick transport methods go, which is okay because Siobhan isn't either. Siobhan is happy to let Raven handle this leg, and she and Stulgar will take it once they get to the swamp. In particular, Siobhan plans to use Speak With Animals to question the animals in the area where the ogre is 'tearing up the swamps' and help get the scent of the trail (plus perhaps figure out what's wrong with the Ogre. Sometimes animals have a sense for unnatural things, so who knows) )

[Moggthegob]

OOC: oh yeah I almost forgot. It would be a good idea to declare hat spells you are preparing now as well

[Solange]

"Oh boy! Are we going to take an air ship again? Or maybe one of those Lightning Royal things, those look fun too!" Lily exclames excitedly.

OOC: I think an Airship might be fastest, but I don't have the map in front of me. A sea ship might work too.

[Bront]

OOC: Where in the Shadow Marches do we need to go to start?

[Moggthegob]

OOC: It is just in the swamp at its edge on the Droaam side of the Shadow Marches. These fields have name the fields of Zil, named after the gnomish explorers who 'discovered' it

[Solange]

OOC: So if we can find passage to Zarash'ak or Urthhold that should suffice? Or is that not the area you're talking about? Sea passage to uUthhold is easy, Zarash'ak you need to go up river a bit, but I think that's possable.

[Moggthegob]

OOC: well the city of Patrahk'n is actually right by it. You would only need to book sea passage to there.

[Manzanita]

"OK gang. Lets hit the road. We've been sousing ourselves in the bar for long enough. I'll buy the tickets to Patrahk'n by sea. Maybe if you guys go shopping, you can pick me up some trail rations. I've only got enough for a couple days. I want to swing by House Orien before we go too. Gene said the houses were cooperating, and we didn't have to give a vow of secrecy this time."

OOC: OK. I hate to open up this can of worms again, but I didn't debit Raven for the group curing wand purchase. Has anyone else already updated their CS w/this? What's my share again?

We didn't get a downpayment from Gene (I always forget something!), so I need to know the price of the tickets. Hopefully Raven will have enough to front this.

Raven also wants to go by House Orien and talk to her contact there. I guess I'll use my 'favored in house' feat. I can get 'favors' twice a week from the House, so what the heck. My favor modifier is +2, for her level. I'm not even sure what favor she's asking for. Free ride to Patrahk'n? Info about this ogre? Whatever would best advance the plot, I suppose.

[Moggthegob]

Alright, well if you are attempting to book passage using Favored in House, you can get free passage for yourself on a 10 and free passage for the party on a 15 and luxury seating for the party on a 20.

Trying to find information on a ,until now, unimportant laborer in a different house ill be much more difficult.

[Manzanita]

OOC: Favor check: 1+2=3. OK. So how much is it for tickets...

[Moggthegob]

I would say 100 per person( 50 for Raven, since she is an important house member it seems only fair to get a discount)

[Manzanita]

OOC: From the notes from our last adventure, it looks like all 4 of us were going to split an eternal wand of Cure Moderate Wounds, for 600 gps each. Right? In which case Raven can personally afford pitch in for the wand and buy her ticket. Does anyone need help buying their ticket? Raven may be able to help.

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Thanks to the split, Siobhan actually does have a very small discretionary fund left over for things like this. She can pay for herself just fine. She could even help the others, though that would be all her cash)

[Moggthegob]

(..alternatively one of you could attempt to secure free passage from Lyrandar )

[Solange]

"Can't we try to get travel with Lyrandar?" Lily asks

OOC: I'll use Lily's if you all want. I think she's got the best charisma anyway.

[Manzanita]

OOC: Who's Lyrander again?

[Bront]

OOC: We all earned a free "Favor" with Lyrander. Go ahead Lily.

[Solange]

"I'll see if I can't get their help," Lily says.

She makes her way to the Lyrander House.

"Excuse me sir, my name is Lily d'Orien, and my friends and I did a good thing for your house a while ago and they said they owed us and I was wondering if you would be nice enough to transport me and my friends to Patrahk'n so we can hunt down a big meanie?" Lily asks, while smiling sweetly. "Oh, and we will need transport back eventually too please."

OOC: Lily uses Favor in House Lyrander (1d20 4=19). Why not? Lily uses Favor in House Lyrander (Action Point) (1d6=1)

[Moggthegob]

They allow you a meeting with the head of the Lyrandar station and looking at your credentials they smile Well, of course, we never let own people who have helped the House. Tranporttion will be arranged for you and your friend as soon as possibl on a small Airship and the captain will wait in Patrahk'n for you okay?
