The first human guard takes a shuriken to the forehead and blood pours onto his face and into his eyes. With a yelp of shock he tries to wipe the crimson from his sight. Thus, he could not be any more surprised when his feet tangle up in the tripwire below. He tries to break his fall with the...

Once again I've updated the game tools. The Current Encounter Maps link now goes to an html page that gives you a choice of going to different maps. Why did I make this change? Because it'll make things easier to handle when we have encounters that span multiple levels of a structure. Please...

With a tremendous crash the door flies open, the bolt of the lock bursting through the rotten door frame from the impact of a single kick. Small splinters of wood go flying as three halberd wielding chainmail clad humans hurtle through the doorway. Go ahead and make your attacks. All three of...

Sorry about the long delay getting the next encounter started folks. Things have been a bit busy on my end. Hopefully things will go a bit quicker now.

The battle cry, "Pikers Charge!!!" grows louder as several individuals charge up the stairs from the basement. None-the-less, the ever agile Charlotte has time to act before they reach the intervening oaken door. Your at the top of the round my dear. None of your opponents have emerged from the...

Correct. You all can use as many healing surges as you need and you get all your encounter powers back. Basically, you had time for a five minute rest. Also, the stairs down to the basement are currently blocked by the door and that's presumably where your opponents will be coming from. Q22...

Time passes and our heroes finish their preparations for the battle to come. A heavy silence falls through the dim halls of the abandoned house. Charlotte can hear the faint sobbing of the hafling tied to the front porch of the house. Then, in deafening contrast to the silence, a great hoarse...

Our heroes make their final perparations, recover their strength and bolster their resolve for the impending fracas with whoever, or whatever, lurks beneath the abandoned house. Ranver hurries over to the alley to check on little Tatiana. He finds her crouching behind a stack of flimsy wooden...

To Jorje, the hafling sounds honest and genuinely remorseful.

Yep. That's the door. Duly noted.

He mumbles a response, "I didn't do to the job but Percy said we was gonna get paid well just for sticking around and guarding. He didn't know Kadiz and his boys was gonna wreck the temple. I didn't know either. It's all that Sea Devil's fault. He's the one that's paid us to steal the feather...

The blood soaked pockets don't contain the relic. Zarathas does notice a pair of matching tattoos on the wrists. Both depict a somewhat serpentine fish with an elongated, toothy snout. Varilar recognizes the tattoos as the brand of The Pikers, the town's toughest street gang. The hafling has...

For narrative purposes we can assume that there's a five minute break after the prior encounter. During this time Charlotte listens at the door with Horto standing guard over her shoulder, Jorje and Varilar chase down the thief and bring him back, some rudimentary questioning can occur and a...

The hafling makes eye contact with no one. "Only by up the stairs in the middle. The ones on the side do be blocked with rubble." Which squares are affected by your trip wire?

It takes a bit of doing, but you're able to chase down the fleeing hafling a couple of hundred feet from the site of the battle. After a brief scuffle he's subdued. Mostly he just sobs about what a horrible person he's become and how disappointed his dam and granddam would be in him. Charlie...

All right. That's the end of the encounter. Everyone gets 125 XP. You can follow the hafling that fled if you want . . .

Horto and Varilar strike simultaneously, with Varilar's strike sliding in between the rogues ribs and Horto's strike only pushing the blade more firmly into his heart. The hafling gasps and croaks out a weak "what?" before he slumps to the street. The other hafling, still apparently suffering...

A dank and musty smell emanates from beyond the door to the basement of the abandoned house. Charlie can hear muffled voices through the thick timbers of the door but it's difficult to understand what's being said. One of the voices sounds distinctly odd though . . . Almost done here I'd...

At some point Charlie delayed until after the archer, who was at that time last in the initiative count.

Inside the house, the head of the dead hafling lolls to the right and his tounge flops out. The only movement comes from faint twitching in his extremities. Your turn.
