[Adventure] The Sibylline Idol (Judge covaithe)

[Skill Challenge Rd 1]

Riardon manages to catch up with Rurdev and leaps through the air to grab the rope, scaling it quickly. He is only maybe 10 feet behind the kid now and can smell that distinctly awful smell from the first time they met.

Vashik in the chase notices that the kid is heading towards the way that the party entered, though that also the direction of the only unexplored part of the sewer system too. When he spot's the kid's odd spike grin he wonders if the other three had seen that when they first met the kid.

Rurdev grabs the swinging rope and is up just as fast as his companion. At the top of the rope he manages to get a few feet ahead of Riardon.

Incarnation pushing hard manages to decrease the distance behind he was reaching the bottom of the rope. The 'forge's heavy boots leaving a smoking trail.

Dane, despite his dwarven stride is only paces behind Incarnation at the base of the rope as his shorter legs work hard to keep up.

Status - 4 pass/0 fail

Upon arriving at the base of the rope, Dane remarks, "Me like it better when dey jump us. Din' we don't be chasen dem. Grrrr.

The dwarf then attempts to make it was up the rope and continue the chase.

Athletics (1d20+7=11), actually it would be a 13 since he wouldn't have the -2 from his shield. [/sblock]

Determined to not let the 'boy' go, Riardon pushes himself farther to climb the rope

Now leading the pack, Rurdev heads into a full sprint, and as the kid rounds a corner, Rurdev leaps at the kid, attempting to tackle him to the ground.

Vashik wracks his brain trying to figure out just what this child/monster could be and maybe help divine where it would be heading based on that knowledge.

[sblock=History] I better get some good mojo for my 31!![/sblock]

 

[stonegod]

A smoky haze surrounding him, Incarnation attempts to figure if his hazy recollections of Daunton might give him some insight on where the boy was going. His historical memories were like ghosts, but sometimes they turned up something...

OOC: History: 23

The chase continues as Riardon follows the fast paced kid. The kid continues towards the exit that the group entered from.

From his history texts, Vashik remembers talk of a shapeshifter that could assume any form. In particular he remembers a tale of a group of these shapeshifters, doppelgangers if you will, that liked to distort their natural features amplifying their terrifying abilities. The group was called the Anathema and liked the prey one people's nightmares while enganging in criminal acts of robbery.

Anathema was caught and routed out several years ago but one member, Jaques had escaped the clutches of adventurers and authorities. Jacques was said to enjoy shifting into the forms of children and warping his features. He went to ground several years ago and hasn't been seen since.

Rurdev keeping pace with Riardon makes a lunge for the kid and just narrowly misses him as he exits into the sub basement across from the glass blowers.

Incarnation notes that the kid is escaping back the way that they came in under the old warehouse behind the glass blower's. [ooc: this was more useful if failures had happened, but with otherwise I only had one item to give you guys.]

Dane huffs and puffs to catch up, just making it.

Status - 7 pass/0 fail = resounding success

[End]

The kid burst out of the basement with Rurdev's hand tripping him and sending him spralling into the alleyway. As Riardon moves to grab the punk he notices several leering faces in the alley above and to each side. Rat-like faces.

ooc: wow well done. Now for the finale combat. I'll put together a map this weekend and be back hopefully on Monday. Its a bit of a rough weekend this weekend, working Sat. and Sun, blech.

XP: 100 ea.
