[sblock=Hiatus Recap] Although Blood Veil has ended with the destruction of the Urgathoan cult, the troubles of Korvosa have not, and Old Korvosa especially. Quarantined from the rest of the city by the Grey Maidens, Old Korvosa switfly fell into the anarchy of a full-blown war between underworld gangs. Emerging victorious on the ruins of the Cerulean Brotherhood, the Sczarni and Eel's End is the Emperor of Old Korvosa, formerly theatre owner Pilts Swastel. The party have been contacted by Marshal Kroft and tasked with finding Vencarlo Orisini. Shortly before he disappeared the swordmaster implied to the Marshal that he knew something about the night the King died. Investigating Orisini's house suggested that someone was maintaining the illusion that it was occupied, but the house was watched by an urchin known as "Boil" who turned out to be working for Devargo Bavarsi, ex-Spider King and boss of Eel's End, now fallen on hard times. Devargo offered information - the last person to see Orisini was an artist known as Salvator Scream. Scream is now a "guest" of the Emperor, working as a scenery artist for the Emperor's elaborate [I]grand guignol[/I] spectacles. Using Mhairi's contacts, the group have gained an audience with the Emperor in his "palace" in the Shingles of Old Dock, accompanied by a vengeful Devargo. Here, they managed to impress the Emperor, to a point. He has offered a meeting with Scream if they win a game of Blood Pig against his team, the Shinglesnipes. [/sblock] Devargo's only reply to Edmond is a sly grin, not entirely comforting. He flexes his hands in readiness as the Shinglesnipes square off across the arena. There is a clacking of machinery behind the party, and a pig emerges from a trap door into a cage behind them. [COLOR="#B22222"]"Begin!"[/COLOR] shouts the Emperor. [sblock=OOC] Initiative order: Mhairi Manachan Edmond Shinglesnipes #1, #5, #8 Ignatius Rest of Shinglesnipes Devargo Grabbing a pig is a standard action that provokes an AoO. Automatic from the cage, touch attack vs AC 15 otherwise. Other rules will become apparent as we go. Your team has to get the pig in the pit in the top left corner (at A1).
