[LPF] Evil Unto Evil

Tyrien, Half-elven Archeress

Tyrien had a mercenary streak to her, but one that was akin to paid assassin. She felt comfortable they had done what they could for the innocents of the town and hoped that would do them well in the coming days, weeks, and years. She could believe the violence would be minimized and probably only strictly involve those that plied the trade.

She nodded, “Oh aye. There does not appear to be a need for our services any longer. This is about as close to politics that I wish to become involved with, and returning to Venza to hear about the events from afar would be fine by me as well.”

“Let us take our leave, Eanos. I think we have a ship waiting for us.”

She bade Cato farewell and helped gather their payment. Carrying such wealth in a town run by criminals gave her an uncomfortable feeling. She kept her hands free as the loot was stashed away.

"Maybe we can teleport to where we need to? One more stop to matron Gemma first, Ja?"

GM: Because I prefer building encounters that make sense to me rather than encounters that necessarily have whole-number CRs, I had to extrapolate GP awards for several fights. Basically, I figured out the XP value of the fight, then extrapolated the CR, and then back-calculated the GP value based on the CR. Example: 6000 xp is 3/4 of the way between CR 8 (4800xp) and CR 9 (6400xp), so the GP award was 6050gp, which is 3/4 of the way between 5000gp (CR 8) and 6400gp (CR 9). If anyone has issues with how I did this, please let me know before I submit final numbers tomorrow. Encounter 1: CSI Gandling (5 clues discovered at 800 each). 4000xp, CR 7.5. 4450 EGP. Encounter 2: Red Herring Gang. 6000xp, CR 8.75. 6050 EGP. Encounter 3: Graveyard. 13600xp, CR 11.125. 10625 EGP. Encounter 4: Reef. 6400xp, CR 9. 6400 EGP. Encounter 5: Davel's house. 11200xp, CR 10.5. 9350 EGP. Encounter 6: Ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny. 41600xp, CR 14.25(!). 25500 EGP. ​ The last battle had a pretty high CR, but since you'd spent a lot of time working out the weaknesses of the bad guys, I figured you could pull it off.

OOC: I like the idea of extrapolating the fractional cr

OOC: If anyone has issues with how I did this, please let me know before I submit final numbers tomorrow. Actually, that is roughly how I do it as well. You are good to go for that method!

[sblock=ooc]I will never object to someone doing extra math work to make GMing more enjoyable, especially since it generally gives me a headache in the first place. [/sblock]

Cato nods approval at the request, and wordlessly returns to his papers and reports. Apparently, you're dismissed, and the guards lead you out. In the street, Harry beams. "Back to the docks, then?" he asks before setting out. He continues his patter as you descend to the waterfront, and then shakes each of your hands before you head up the gangplank to the Magritte. "It's been an honor and a pleasure having you here, lady and sirs. Apart from taking the javelin in the leg, but that wasn't your fault and I do appreciate the good turn you did by healing it. Safe travels, and if you're ever back in Gandling, just ask for Blind Harry."

Sugar Sweet and Rahor appear at the end of the dock, the halfling wearing her usual insouciant grin and the elf his usual scowl. Sugar Sweet waves casually. "We're just here to see you off safely," she says. "After all, we're both on good behavior until you three have left Gandling. Which I take to mean, when your boat clears the edge of the harbor. Don't you agree, Mr. of Clan Gregga?" Rahor nods sharply, his eyes locked on the halfling and his hands poised above the javelins in his hip sheath.

Sugar Sweet stares back at him, eyes alight with anticipation. "Well then, captain ... I think it's time you weighed anchor," she says quietly, not taking her eyes off the Jiragan. The captain turns pale and starts shouting orders, which the dockhands and sailors can't obey fast enough. Once all the lines have been cast off and the ship slides away from the pier, the dockhands literally sprint for cover. Harry, of course, has long since made himself scarce.

As the boat moves into the harbor, Sugar Sweet and Rahor remain unmoving at the end of the pier. Then the wind catches the sails and the ship picks up speed. A few minutes later, the Magritte makes the turn at the end of the harbor into open water, and you hear a ululating warcry and the clash of steel on steel. As Gandling slips out of sight, the last view you have is a pair of figures on the waterfront, locked in mortal combat.

. . . . Blind Harry . . . . . . . . . . Rahor . . . . . . Sugar Sweet

There is some nice stuff to be put in the pearl in that loot list.
