Bloodcove Disguise

The thug closest to the front door makes abreak for it while the thug furthest away takes a shot at Syldar with his crossbow.

OOC: Mandalo, Chaucer, Kalinn, and Aradra all get an attack of opportunity against C2 as he tries to go out the door. Sorry for the delay, I was traveling today. Tommorrow (Sat) I will be at a meeting, but will be on in the afternoon.

Chaucer regains his balance just in time to look at the thug in the eye as he makes a dart for it. As he turns and tries to dodge around Kalinn, Chaucer swings at his retreating form. His blade connects, but Chaucer is unsure whether the punishment went any further than his armor.

As he finishes his swing he hears an arrow fly through the air near him. He looks across the grease trap that he set at the one thug left. Chaucer drops his sword, jumps off the crate and pulls his bow off his shoulder as he does. Already having an arrow in his hand, he puts it to the string and pulls it back. He closes his eyes momentarily and feels the sensation of the arcane infusing the point of his arrow as he lets it fire at the last thug standing.

Wait 1 init.

Free Action - Drop Longsword
Then, move action to F5 and draw bow

Kalinn lashes out with Hafísbita and cuts the coward's leg off at the knee. "Syldar, Aradra, watch the door! Chaucer, there's another over here!"

A cool breeze wafts in her wake as she sprints toward the back of the shop. A graceful leap takes her easily over the grease and to the back wall; without missing a beat she uses the wall to change her momentum, finally coming to rest between the final thug and Senzer Rulkep. Her amazing acrobatics are ruined only by her ineffective and off balance swipe at the thug as she lands. She blows a bang from her face in irritation as she speaks to the alchemist. "You rang, Ser Rulkep?"

[sblock=Actions]AoO vs. C2 (1d20+4=16) for (2d6+2=8) Damage.

(The rest of these actions assume that she killed C2 - if not I'll need to retcon.
Move: To D2 (E6, E5, Jump (1d20+7=22) E4 - E1, Tumble (1d20+7=27) (to avoid AoO) to D2.
Standard: Attack (1d20+4=5).

(OK, yes, she could have just run around the grease - but that wouldn't have been nearly as !)

Hoping that the rapier will finish the guy off, Aradra will jab at the running guard.

EDIT: Should read edits lol.

Ardara will take out his bow, and take a quick shot at the guard in the back. The arrow passes right through the guys heart, dropping him instantly.

[sblock=Actions]
Free: 5' step to take Kalinn's spot
Free: Drop Rapier
Move: Draw bow and arrow
Standard: Fire! 1 shot at +8 1d8+3
[/sblock]

Crit Edit: Forgot I had PBS, so its actually 34 DMG.

 

[galahad0430]

OOC: the first two attacks of opportunity drop the running thug, so I assume Aradra's shots are on C1 instead. With the critfest they all are dropped. I will do Senzer's dialogue late tonight, but everyone gets an additional 133 XP. this should level Raynucio, Kalinn, and Mandalo. So you guys can work on that so we can continue tomorrow.

[sblock=GM]Would you mind to make a note in the first post that we leveled this date? It makes a difference for our Time Based XP and GP for the remainder of the adventure. [/sblock]

Senzer wipes his brow and wrings his hands in his leather apron.

" Thank you! I have been expecting you since I got word of the arrival of Marhvokos's ship yesterday. My son has been deathly ill for some time now and Lura Ichon promised me a curative for him. I signed away my entire operation to that bitch, but the elixirs she sends are diluted with cheap rum to the point of almost uselessness. In exchange she works my all day producing drugs for her little den of vice, the Sanguine Pit.
"I know she has the cure because the elixirs prevent my son from getting worse, but if I confront her she will probably just have her thugs kill us both. I want to help you, but after all I've done for the Society, I need something first. Get me that cure and an assurance that Ichon will not kill us and I will be able to help you."

Raynucio sneers, "And you are not prepared to just give us the information we need and rely upon our altruism to help you? Sensible man, if your little errand did not sound like it would involve various entertaining opportunities to maim people I would tell you where to go with it, but since I enjoy eradicating vermin I am in."

Despite his cold tone it is apparent that the giant noble merely considers maiming a bonus, he would have helped anyway - possibly without even needing an incentive to do so.

"Now lets search these wretches and strip them of their valuables, that sounds typically piratical to me. What do you suggest we do with the bodies Master Senzer? Do you have a convenient method of disposal, or at least a temporary area we might store them in."

Suiting actions to words Raynucio begins roughly searching the bodies at his feet.

OOC: Sorry for the delay folks been buried in work, I'll level Raynucio up tomorrow. Woot!

 

[galahad0430]

Senzer seems slightly taken aback by Raynucio's bluntness, however he says, "I can dispose of the bodies, but you will need to confront Ichon tonight at the Pit if you are to prevent her from wondering what has happened. You probably have the rest of the day for visiting the market. Take these as a token of my appreciation."
He hands you three potions of CLW.

OOC: You can try to purchase anything you might need. For magic items, there is a 40% chance to find something.

"And what can you tell us about this Pit? Is that where they hold the animal fights I heard mentioned before - a cowardly practice to watch dumb beasts fight if men do not have the guts to at least risk their own skins."
