    Ptolus: The Tenth Precinct

    Real Life has been all sorts of busy so updates have been non-existent. Sorry about that. The Big Book has a neat set of rules concerned mobs. Basically it's a human swarm, with an attack roll for damage and a required Balance check to prevent from falling over and taking even more damage by...

    Ptolus: The Tenth Precinct

    Watching his partner being struck by a 2 by 4 makes Cipke angry. "THAT IS ENOUGH! GUARDSMEN, HOLD ON TO SOMETHING!" Holding the stick of butter up, as if it were a sword, he puts his back to the tower as he casts Grease on the mob encroaching them. Cipke's fury focuses on a stocky woman...

    Ptolus: The Tenth Precinct

    Kinkade tries to evade the blow and restrain the speaker. "It didn't have to be this way," he says. In his daily life, the protestor often proclaims he's a thinker, not a fighter. This means his thoughtful punch goes wide. Kinkade, however, easily manages to slip behind him and bend the orator's...

    Ptolus: The Tenth Precinct

    The thing about PbP is that a lot of actions and conversations can happen at once in the same scene. Especially if it's a mob scene. I tried to clean it up as best I could, but feel free to let me know if it's confusing at all.

    Ptolus: The Tenth Precinct

    Felix soon finds himself heading toward St. Daris's Church, although he corrects himself soon enough to angle back toward the watchtower where the noise emanates from. The wiry man has whipped himself into a frenzy of oratory. "He knew a revolution was at hand! A revolution to found a Free...

    Ptolus: The Tenth Precinct

    Elissa Gladesmere- The Guildsman District Around midday, an inconspicuous sewer grate in a non-descript alley next to Quallin's Books is carefully moved aside once the coast is clear and a full backpack emerges, quickly followed by the slim elven form of Elissa Gladesmere. Once the grate is...

    Ptolus: The Tenth Precinct

    Oh yeah. Baeril does the annoying gnome bit to an EXTREME. In fact, Dee's player started the foot race in order to loose the little guy with his lower speed. And here come the introduction of the Tenth's MVP, Half-Penny- Baeril's thrush familiar. As you see, Half-Penny becomes a vital member of...

    Ptolus: The Tenth Precinct

    Deevolly Bencez, Cipke Arnag, and Baeril Underhill- Midtown "Dee! Cipke!" The pair turn around to see a young watchman running toward them. "Herdling requested a meeting with you two. At the Guildsman Tower." The watchman's expression plainly shows he knows nothing behind the oddity of the...

    heh. Yeah, but you play the likable selfish rogues so WELL.

    Ptolus: The Tenth Precinct

    And our final member of the Tenth. Elissa Gladesmere, elven rogue. The vast majority of the Tenth seems pretty vanilla. No real crazy choices of races or classes, but trust me- they make it interesting.

    Ptolus: The Tenth Precinct

    Elissa Gladesmere - Longfinger's Guild Headquarters Elissa slips in through the door, eyeing the silvery stranger warily. Then she spots her guildleader, an older human male known as Hayman Knapp, seated at an ornate meeting table in the middle of the room. "Guildmaster." she inclines her head...

    Ptolus: The Tenth Precinct

    Kinkade is a factotum with an emphasis on technology. Benson is a straight-forward fighter watchman with a temper. Standard rookie with a veteran partner here. Kinkade's player is the same person who plays Renraw in Whizbang's Midwood campaign. So he puts a great deal of thought into his...

    Ptolus: The Tenth Precinct

    Kinkade Munro and Benson Gallaway- Oldtown "Say, friend," Kinkade says, examining the sick man's dress and mannerisms, "Maybe you need a sit down. Somewhere out of the rain?" The man looks up and starts weeping drunkenly. "I can't... I can't keep doing... Aw... I mean I have a wife!" "Wives...

    Ptolus: Midwood - "The Dark Waters of Moss Pond"

    Ah yes... the moment where Renraw's player blindsided me and framed Heath for murder... This is part of the cool thing with PM's. The whole thing got set up without my knowledge and then THAT happened. I was honestly thrown for a loop.

    Ptolus: The Tenth Precinct

    Ah Baeril.... for all those gnome-haters we have him. Played by ENWorld's very own Whizbang Dustyboots, Baeril is a gnomish illusionist. Nothing unusual there, but our Baeril is much more than he appears. For a good idea how gnomes are played in our game, check out Whizbang's Unified Theory of...

    Ptolus: The Tenth Precinct

    Baeril Underhill- Fairbriar "You probably should look for one of the quickling faen, sir," Baeril says when he can get a word in edgewise. "Halflings, if you prefer." He sees the blank look on the human's face. The poor man may not realize the two types of faen are different races and...

    Ptolus: The Tenth Precinct

    I should also add that our portrayal of Delvers here is pretty much the norm. From a police perspective, the city puts up with adventurers because they bring in so much money- but they're considered annoyances at best. I think the idea of Delvers as mostly being greedy opportunistic frat boys...
