Bloodcove Disguise

[jackslate45]

Chaucer stiffed a laugh, but Aradra was already taking out the pirate uniform he used when in town. He then starts taking off his own armor, removes his shirt, and throws it next to the uniform. His heavily scared body in full view, he does not seem to mind it at all.

"Chaucer, we are looking for two branches about my height. They will need to be quite sturdy,so find them at least the thickness of a blade handle" he says, shooting out his dagger to show the sort of branch we are looking for.

Looking over at Kanli he says "Go ahead and rest a little while longer. We are going to need you to keep guard while Chaucer and I carry the body back."

He points to the sword laying on the ground and says "In the meantime, feel free to carry that. Our hands are going to be full with carrying the body"

Chaucer detects and aura emanating from the sword. On closer examination it is the falchion was crafted with two dragon like claws extending out for the hilt holding two amethyst gems. The pommel is shaped like a dragon's neck with a red ruby at the base in the dragon's mouth. Along the blade etchings of rose vines and a dragon's tail.

The armor might have been magical, but the raptors have destroyed it now.

GM: Coins are going to explain TBG.

He points to the sword laying on the ground and says "In the meantime, feel free to carry that. Our hands are going to be full with carrying the body."

As the others move out with the body, Kalinn kneels and quickly scoops up the ornate falchion. She feels . . . something . . . as her hand takes the hilt, but the sensation is gone too quickly for her to explore it further. What? Hmmm, c'mon Kalinn . . . not like you to get the creeps from a few overgrown lizards and a dead orc! Shaking her head in dismissal, she quickly makes her way after the others.

After making your litter to transport the mangled carcase back to camp, you are ready to move along after about a half an hour. The trip to complete your patrol is uneventful. After pulling your prize in though the palisade, you notice significant progress has been made for departure.

Reaching the encampment's center, your appearance draws the attention of the commander and she approaches for your report, "You three are looking, ah... like you experienced some difficulty. Anything to worry about?"

GM: Just moving you along, time to start wrapping this up.

Aradra nods to Chaucer, and together they set down the body. Chaucer takes up the talking with "Indeed! A 4 armed ape attacked us, and almost had Kanli and Shadow for breakfast! Then, we get swarmed by raptors not an hour out of here! Only by pure vocal power, with bow, sword, and gnashing teeth were able to conquer the trail! Aradra has a few more scars to add to his collection, and Kanli's has found a sword that parallels her beauty! "

The ranger, mostly ignoring the bard's speech, looks up and says "Commander, we found a body out in the woods. Have you lost this man on patrol?"

 

[perrinmiller]

The Commander looks impressed at your tale and replies, "Well, I am glad you are alive. I hope your companions on the other patrol make it back safely too. Or perhaps their trip will be uneventful."

"We have been quiet here, nothing to disturb our preparations."

After taking a look at the corpse, she shakes her head, "This doesn't look like anyone I know. We did not have anyone go missing on a patrol."

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Kalinn feels a strange sense of relief at the commander's words, and finds herself thinking that it was good that she would not have to give the falchion over to the half-orc's family . . .

 

[jackslate45]

"Then it could be a pirate from town, when they were attacking us yesterday.". Aradra says, once again squatting down to investigate the body. "Or a random passerby. Either way, no one would mind if we take his things."

Standing back up, he winces slightly before saying "I am going to go eat something. Afterwards, let me know how I can assist."

 

[perrinmiller]

Commander Dias replies, "It could be anyone. Indeed, the spoils are yours. Thank you for your assistance with our security. I will see that you get a bonus for your efforts."

"Excuse me, but I must continue overseeing the preparations for departure."

The rest of your companions had an uneventful patrol, apparently you had all of the luck.

The rest of the preparations go without a hitch and you depart. The journey back to civilization is mostly a pain in the neck and slow. But, no further difficulties occur and you receive your bonuses and rewards, the 3000 gold coins promised and then some.

You are free to continue your journey back to Venza.

[sblock=Rewards]Enc #11-12 Rewards are: +1 Mithral Falcion (4075gp) & 4700gp in coins for bonus. End of Adventure bonus is 3000gp + enough change to make a round number for the end result.

Total Rewards for Encounters (Frost & Aradra) are 7500xp & 9760gp each. I rounded up the individual reward for encounters to a rounder number since the random monster rewards are just to fill out expected values anyway.

We are calling it quits as of 17 Apr 2012 (it is that date in my time zone).

I have less of a handle on the TBX/TBG that you guys do. If you have that information, I can check the math and approve it. I want you guys to be free to get shopping and prepping for SK's adventure ASAP. [/sblock]

First, THANK YOU!

Second: I know that I leveled them the day they hit the new level. If they leveled during a combat, I would hold off on informing then until the end of combat. so if combat started on the 3rd, they leveled to 4 on the 6th, and combat ends on the 12th, you would do TBX till the 6th, and do the TBX from the 6th till the 12th with level 4th TBX
