Island Empire Part 1, to Mermaid's Rest

Radoon - Mariner/Fighter/Master Thrower

Radoon gives the wheelbarrow a good examination and finds it to be sound if battered. It has a couple of holes in it and so would not be suitable for hauling sand or water, but for Radoon's purposes it will work fine. It costs him two gold pieces after a lenghty haggle. The pepper is considerably more firey than a jalapneo, but it has been lightly roasted so that the fruity flavor comes through as well as the heat. Another gold piece gets him a nice assortment of chocolates carefully wraped in colorful waxed paper.

OOC: Make a fortitude save DC 10 to finish the pepper. If you succeed Radoon make take a +2 on his next heat or fire related save.

Will you take any of the peppers?

OK, you got me, what do I roll for a fortitude save? And yes I will take half a dozen

 

[Scotley]

OOC: Radoon has a +6 on fortitude saves, so d20+6 will get you there.

OOC: Just to give everyone a heads up Keith aka SirCaith has a character more or less ready to play and will be linking up with the rest of you at Axiopolis.

Radoon - Mariner/Fighter/Master Thrower

OOC: Radoon can roll spot and listen to try and beat Rook's rolls. If you do you'll notice Rook is around, but since you are just strolling the market, I don't think it will raise a red flag. So far Marienna doesn't seem to have noticed anything.

Radoon rolls 1d20+12, getting [17,12] = (29)
spot check


Radoon rolls 1d20+5, getting [4,5] = (9)
Listen check

Radoon - Mariner/Fighter/Master Thrower

Once he has his gems, Rook will hang about outside the bank, as unobtrusively as possible. When Radoon and Marienna come out, he'll tail them at a discreet distance.

Better make sure the lovebirds don't get into trouble -- that's a lot of silver they're hauling about!

Rook rolls 1d20+19, getting [4,19] = (23) to Hide
Rook rolls 1d20+17, getting [1,17] = (18) to Move Silently

OOC: Scott - I wasn't sure how to do a "Stealth" or "Tailing" roll, so I figured the average of these two would do. Unfortunately, while my bonuses are excellent, they're going to notice something as the Invisible Castle is up to its old tricks with my dice rolls!

OCC - Mike, those are some wicked bonuses!!

For the DM only[sblock]You have to admit, it is a great idea, and as much as it drives you to the old thought provoker it does get you t hinking more and more about yout world and the chance to add detail and more detail from all the ideas that spring from it.

I mean, pure silver, that is used in better alchemey, the creation of magic items, silverare, silverplate etc, the list is endless...perhaps i could find a down on the luck dwarven smelter, who could refince it to 100 percent pure in small batches....and pure refined silver smelted down into small jewlery bars etc, will proably allow me to make triple on the actual cost of the bar. Personally, i like the idea very much, it has a lot of appeal, it gives me access to jewlers, etc and upper echelon trades men and not to mention mages etc......

Any luck on my 45 minute looksee for one or two more young minions, they would not sail with us unless there is no time....i think i rolled a sense motive of like 19 for that but am not for sure...say some youngser 14 to 18 or even 20 looking to get out, down on his luck, stranded etc....sorry for all this side stuff...but my mind thinks of things while we are waiting for the others to reply.[/sblock]

Phineas "Finn" Hunter

OCC - excellent!!!

After his trip to the confectioner's, Radoon and Marienna continue their stroll around the market. As they pass an outdoor tavern, they notice a young man in his late teens who is staring at them intently. He is slim, of average height, dressed in a loose linen shirt, stained Imperial navy breeches, and boots. The sleeves of the shirt are rolled up, and they can see that his arms are adorned with many tattoos of a nautical nature above two leather armbands at his wrists. From the leather belt at his waist hangs a dagger sheath and a scabbard that holds a basket hilted rapier. Thrust into the belt are two pistols and a belaying pin.

As he notices that they have noticed him noticing them, he stands and approaches, leaving his tankard of ale at the table. "Bosun Radoon, is that you? It's Finn Hunter, remember? The powder monkey back on the old Repulse about four years ago. I knew you were approaching muster time, but I never expected to see you off a navy ship." His eyes drift to the wheelbarrow and its contents. "Guess the Navy has increased its goin' ashore pay!"

Turning to Marienna, "Excuse me, ma'am, I did not mean to slight as lovely a lady as you. Allow me to introduce myself, Phineas "Finn" Hunter, able bodied seaman, trained cannoneer, and your servant."

For DM

[sblock] Use a little Telempathic projection on Marienna to improve her first impression of me [/sblock]

The Market at Axiopolis

Marienna was initally somewhat nervous as Finn approached, perhaps owing the the quantity of silver they are transporting, but after a moment she removes her hand from her sword hilt and extends it. "Well, Mr. Hunter it is a pleasure to meet you. Any friend of Radoons..."
