Final words...

[ajanders]

Ooc

Just for the heck of it, please do. And whoever's mook-binding throw me a few Use Rope checks, please?

 

[JRYoung]

Just for the heck of it, please do. And whoever's mook-binding throw me a few Use Rope checks, please?

OOC: We've got 4 PCs in the room. I propose 4 shifts, 1 PC per shift, in this order: Zook, Kae, Ambra, Rethlin. Since the Mook is tied up and gaged then one PC per shift should be sufficient.

OOC: Rethlin did the mook binding, here are two Use Rope checks:

1d20+1-> [4,1] = (5)
1d20+1-> [1,1] = (2)

OOC: Ouch, that is so bad that I bet the others will be able to notice it and perhaps re-do it

 

[ajanders]

Zook won't, because the mook is too scared of him to try anything.
Kae, on the other hand, might.

Let me think about how to do this for a bit.

 

[ajanders]

Wow, this mook's having a bad day

The mook lies quietly during Zook's watch shift, trembling every time Zook looks at him.
Clearly he's been traumatized for life as regards gnomes.

When Kae takes over, he recovers a little bit of his confidence and attempts to work free of his bonds, taking a penalty of 2 to give her a Spot check DC of 12 to detect him. He needs one roll to get free of each set of bonds.

Mook escape artist checks (1d20-2=0, 1d20-2=7)

Kae sees the mook thrash about like gaffed fish, but he gets nowhere. Astonishing, really, given the lousy job of tying-up Rethlin did on him.

Assuming nobody does anything like coup-de-grace the mook, everyone else's shift goes smoothly through the night and really, into the midmorning -- you didn't get to the boarding house until after midnight.

Rethlin is standing watch over the mook when he hears a knock coming from the street.
There's a dwarf on the front step.
(Veyk, welcome back.)

 

[Kaodi]

Bhalag impatiently pounds on the door a little more.

" Hey in there! What's a dwarf got to do for some hospitality? "

 

[ajanders]

A faded threadbare man in a faded threadbare smoking jacket comes to the door.

"Good morning, masterminer!" he says in decent dwarven, though with a Cyran accent.

"I have rooms for rent, though only on the third floor."

 

[Kaodi]

" I'm looking for a mixed group of folks who might've come in late last night, or early this morning. A couple of lady humans, one of them orc halfbreeds and a gnome, I think. They lodging here? "

 

[ajanders]

The man shrugs.
"I rent rooms to whomever wants them. Not my business who they are as long as they pay their rent."

 

[Kaodi]

" Well it's my business. I'm with them, or rather I was with them, and will be again once you tell which room there renting. "

 

[ajanders]

"You can leave a message for somebody, if you want. Or you can get a room on the third floor."

And the rest of the party, if they wish, can make a DC 15 Listen check to hear a mysterious dwarf who's tracked you to your hiding place.
