Island Empire Part 1, to Mermaid's Rest

[J. Alexander]

Michael Storm (warlock)

OCC: Thanks for the response to the gunpowder question, so goes the best laid plans of mice and men ......

Michael will look at the lady in question and say "Cease" this madam, we have not time for your trade today, but as worthy as you are, we shall certainly be back to entertain your champions and claim our reward"

For the DM only:[sblock] Michael will dispell magic on the rose and tirgger it by the word Cease.
Michale Stormrolls 1d20+ 10, getting [19,10] = (29)
If I am correct this should temporarily knock out the rose.[/sblock]

 

[Scotley]

Road up to Axiopolis town.

Michael Storm only [sblock]As the rose is in fact a magic item you must simply beat the caster level of the item, which is only 7th. However, you roll a d20+your caster level, which is only 6th I believe, not 10th. So you got a 25. Now roll a d4 to see how many rounds it will be down.[/sblock]

Rook suddenly feels the strange euphoria and lightness fade. The beautiful girl continues to hold the rose out to him, a slight look of concern on her face. For Rook only [sblock]You no longer need make a save. Rook may take the rose or not as you desire.[/sblock]

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

For the Knowledge (Local - The Sea) roll:

Rook rolls 1d20+5, getting [20,5] = (25). OOC: I finally broke 10!!!!

OOC: Scott, since I rolled a natural 20, does that entitle me to all of the info, or can I still not read the DC 30 stuff?

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Rook

Rook will put on a look of genuine regret, and say:

"My lady, had you made your offer without the use of enchantment, I would have been most intrigued and would possibly have returned and taken you up -- you are completely lovely!

"However, I have pressing business, and in any case do not appreciate efforts to rob me of my will, so I must regretfully decline."

Turn and bow to the 'Champions:'

"Another time, gentlemen!" (He will sound just as regretful when addressing the Champions as when addressing the lady.)

Road to Axiopolis town

The woman makes a sound of frustration and whirls away then though a door, which she slams with considerable force. The Orcs in the practice yard laugh and the largest Orc salutes you with his sword as you pass. "Anytime sir". He then bows with a flourish of the sword and returns to his pratice.

OOC: Go ahead and read them all, technically you shouldn't but what the heck.

 

[Scotley]

Axiopolis

After your encounter with the local 'red light' district you make your way up the hill into the town of Axiopolis. The gate is open and the guards are relaxed, but at least watch the people pass. The town isn't very big and you quickly locate the town square where the courthouse, government offices and a small park are located. On opposite sides of the square are two banks--Farmers and Miners Trust and a branch of Clanhome Federal. On one side of the square is a small open market of tents and stalls. Michael and company venture there and say they will catch up with the rest of you soon.

OOC: Which bank?

 

[J. Alexander]

Michael Storm

Michael and Company will stop by the market for a quick looksee and will follow the party into the bank once they have chose it.

Michael Stormrolls 1d4, getting [1] = (1)

For the DM only[sblock]Scott, the dispell magice was heighted which adds a +6 to my caster lever i think or to the spell level, that is where i got the +10 and is why it was rerolled, please notice teh notation, it says corrected so I plead innoncent on that account or at least confused on the calculation etc.....[/sblock]

Axiopolis

For Michael Storm only [sblock]The market is a bit of a disappointment. There is relatively little 'ready to wear' clothing available for Guiessippe. There are some tailors, but they can't get much together in the short time you have available. The produce is better. There is a pretty good selection. The selection of mushrooms and peppers is particularly good, perhaps owing to the large Dwarven population of the island. One meat cutter has some nice cuts of aged beef hanging and some fresh duck is just being plucked at another place.[/sblock]

 

[J. Alexander]

Michael Storm (warlock)

Michael will buy a large mix of mushrooms and peppers as well as the aged cuts of beef the butcher has hanging. He will then walk over to the fowler, and purchase several of the plumpest ducks he has to offer. He will instrunt the fowler to pack them in ice and put them in a basket for carrying. He will then give Guisseppe his money to go shopping on, telling him we will just have to look into clothing other time.

Knowledge (Sea) (1d20=1)

OOC: Natural 1 to match MikeP's natural 20; I left off my modifier, but I don't think it matters
