[LPF] Bats in the Belfry

[GlassEye]

Syldar's ministrations seem less effective than she would like and blood keeps oozing from the numerous, deep, claw wounds inflicted on the Tengu by Aressa. She does manage to bring him briefly to consciousness, though his eyes are glazed and he pants heavily. "Phoenix... get wha' he wants... eventually." With that odd speech he lapses back into unconsciousness and it's clear that without assistance, and quickly, the Tengu bandit will die.

[sblock=Combat]
Syldar can attempt Heal checks until the Tengu stabilizes or dies.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, generic sounding avian themed doom. Bugger off to the big bird cage in the sky Beaky." Izzik says irreverently, never having been hugely concerned with the consequences of his actions as a rule. Aressa snorts before recalling herself and rolling her eyes.

[sblock=OOC]We can continue to wrap this encounter up, if Syldar chooses to continue to try to save the Tengu. Otherwise, I think you'll have to wait for HolyMan to continue/finish the adventure. I don't have the treasure list for the Tengu and I would rather not start the next encounter only to have to hand it over in a few days time when he returns (and when we would likely still be in round one).

Thanks, it's been... interesting. I learn a little bit more every time I attempt DMing.[/sblock]

 

[HolyMan]

[sblock=OOC] Thanks bunches GE for the assist. And I will be looking into those chase rules for another adventure. Oh and am thinking up something political for Fury after visiting the Social Group.

Hey everyone Need a go no go to advance the thread a little bit forward. [/sblock]

 

[Aldern Foxglove]

[sblock=OOC]Well in case it wasn't obvious I'm around and raring to go.[/sblock]

 

[udalrich]

[sblock="OOC"]I'm also around and should be online regularly.

Syldar will continue to try to stabilize the Tengu because she wants to know more about what he is and why he was attacking them. However, without help, she probably won't succeed at stabilizing him before he bleeds out. Even if she does, I don't think she can get him conscious without help. So probably he either dies or someone finishes him off: she does not have a strong moral compunction to save him.

The GM can roll Syldar's heal checks (1d20-1 vs DC 15) if that is relevant.

[HolyMan]

Syldar gets lucky and brings the Tengu around after a few minutes of quick work. While she bandaged the birdman up with pieces of it's own clothes the others finally arrive to where the chase ended.

They have a few things taken from the other three Red Bill Gang members but decided to leave the bodies where they were.

Coughing up blood from the red tipped beak the creature blinks a few times before croaking out a few words. "You... you saved me. Why?" Although stable and barely conscious it seems unable to move but at least it can talk.

[sblock=OOC] well 72 hours and nothing from the others. Got lucky enough (with the heal check) that we can do a little RPing till after the holidays. And whoever returns will be able to chime in. [/sblock]

"So I can kill it again?" Aressa says hopefully, moving into the Tengu's line of sight and grinning evilly, obviously ready to spring at the slightest wrong move from the bird man.

Izzik sighs theatrically, "Aressa ripping out innards is not always the advisable course of action, though you do do it with commendable skill and enthusiasm." Turning to the Tengu he continues,

"Look we aren't unreasonable fellows, you attacked us afterall. But if you tell us why you did, who this Phoenix is, and what he or she wants, we'll let you live. Can't say fairer than that can I? Loyalty is all well and good, but its not particularly useful if your a corpse - right?"

Syldar joins in the questioning. "I'd like to learn about this Phoenix. But if you don't have anything to tell us, there's no reason to not let the sphinx be your 'nurse'." Syldar smiles at Aressa. "What do you say?"

 

[HolyMan]

The Tengu looks back and forth between you all and then as if deciding something he begins to speak.

"I don't know to much just a few rumors. The Phoenix is our boss, soon he'll be everyone's boss. We need to get some coin for him so we set out looking tonight. We followed that fat curly haired human this way and were about to jump him but he ducked into that tavern so quick we missed are shot. And then all of you came running out soon after, and we had to find a mark and get whatever we could. Nothing personal really."

[sblock=OOC] Fat curly haired human = Rizo the man who told you about the Bats in his Belfry. [/sblock]
