[LPF] Distant Relations

[sblock=OOC]No worries; there looked to be doors by T18, which is why I was checking. Looks like we're done up here, though, in terms of places to scope out.[/sblock]

Quioan pauses for a moment as he debates the proper strategy with which to confront the locked desk.

Screw it.

[sblock=OOC]Reminds me of the scene in Big Trouble in Little China with Wang knocking on the paper doors. *tap**tap**tap*tap* Jack: "Hollow?" Wang: "Hollow." Jack: "*bleep* it." *takes knife and cuts through wall*[/sblock]
 

Yoshiki Akita (Human Monk 4)

[sblock=Yoshiki and Quioan]Yoshiki grabs the ledgers in the drawer and stores them with the others in his pack. "Hopefully these will have what we are looking for. If there is nothing else here, we should get moving."[/sblock]

[sblock=Audra and Elenka]Audra clinches her fist and turns, setting with her back against the wall. The imposing presence effects her far more than the excuse for cursing the fellow uses. She is grateful that the mask she wears hides her slight smile at the appearing agitation. She tries to think quickly, having had a few minutes to consider the situation.

The other guard assigned here needed to visit the latrine, so I relieved him, so to speak. He wasn't sure where it was from here, so the other guard, also being male, went with him. Some people just can't hold their liquor.

She keeps her eyes on the upset visage before her, fighting the urge to glance aside at Elenka looking for guidance, her wit kicking in before her brain can think to let the Summoner answer.

Note: From the point Audra speaks on down won't happen if Elenka posts speaking first. :)

[sblock=Elenka]Elenka's lips twitch and she barely restrains a sigh. Not the excuse she would've given since it does nothing to explain why Yoshiki and Quioan are upstairs but what's done is done. Now the only problem is to extract themselves from this mess.

"What do you want us to do?"

[sblock=Elenka and Audra]Even with his mask, Audra and Elenka can see the disgusted frown that crosses Garthia's face.

"Do I look like I just fell out of my mother's womb?" The herald growls. "What is going on?"

"And who are you?" one of the acolytes spits out in surprise, pointing to Audra. It's then you both realize that Thon is one of the guard who scrambled in with Garthia; the cult robes make it just as difficult to recognize as be recognized when someone's silent. Unfortunately, Audra's excuse not only didn't convince the herald, but her voice has exposed her duplicity to the young half-elf.

"Sir! Sir!"

And, because the cruelties of fate apparently conspire to work in threes, it's at this juncture that a gray-robed priest comes barreling into the room.

"Shadows, sir! Moving in the Lady's quarters! I saw them cast on the curtains by the torchlight from my post on the wall!"

"Don't let these two go anywhere! I'll deal with whomever thought they could violate the bedchamber of Owbej's chosen."

"Wait. I'm confused. What's ... what's going on?" Thon sputters even as his partnered acolyte and the priest move to draw their weapons. Garthia isn't bothering to find out, as he starts to turn to ascend the staircase.

GM: So, yeah, there were three different things that could have given you away, and the dice, they decided all three of them were going to happen. Yoinks!

I'm not assuming you're going into combat. You're welcome to keep trying non-violent methods, but I've set up a map and rolled initiative just in case. The good news: you guys won initiative.

Initiative Elenka and Audra: 16

Initiative cultists: 10

Garthia is the dark-haired icon. Thon is the light haired one. The acolyte has a white background / eyes, while the higher-ranked priest has gray. I decided to try enlarging the map after setting up all the icons, so things are kind of fuzzy, but hopefully readable.

[sblock=Yoshiki and Quioan]Once he has the taste of it, Quioan quickly ascertains the properties of the potion. Apparently, masks aren't the only way the cult likes to maintain its anonymity. Like the oil before, this potion grants temporary invisibility.

After the monk and archer quickly gather what they've found in the study area, they move across the room, digging through the bed and nightstand, trying to find anything else about that might be hidden. They find nothing, however, other than some spare women's garments and cheap perfumes. If the ledgers they've stowed have nothing in them, then they have only the map (and possibly the holy symbols) with which to point blame.

GM: When you guys post next, I'm going to need you to tell me

1) who's carrying what.
2) where it's being carried.

For reference, you've found (followed by weight if any):

52 gp - 1 lb
a pair of silver dice (worth 5 gp) - N/A
unidentified scroll (enchantment compulsion) N/A
23 silver holy symbols - 23 lbs (silver holy symbols are 1 lb apiece)
A single application of oil of invisibility - N/A
Cold Iron Heavy mace with unidentified enchantment. - 8 lbs
potion of gaseous form - N/A
unidentified bag (conjuration summoning) - 15 lbs
50 pp - 1 lb.
potion of invisibility - N/A
unidentified statue (enchantment) - N/A
Three unexamined ledgers - 3 lbs.

[sblock=Audra and Elenka]Audra considers the situation for a split second. Two of these robed nasties drawing weapons. Audra's hands are empty. So much the better for her want to be assailant it would seem, as he draws his weapon. Attempting to use her finely honed combat skills, she attacks the Priest (Grey background) with two quick strikes. *FWOOMP!* Her left hand strikes smartly into the air over his right shoulder. *kathock!* Her aim is better with her right, but the robe she wears gets tangled and causes her swing to pull short of his jaw and miss.[/sblock]

[sblock=action]Using her Flurry of Blows, Audra is going to try to unload some hurt on the Priest guy. And fail miserably :D[/sblock]

[sblock=Audra and Elenka]Indeed, despite getting the drop on the priest, Audra's rush to action sees her fail to connect.

"Infidel!" the priest cries out, moving to ready weapon and shield.

GM: Elenka still to go, then the others

[sblock=Elenka & Audra]Elenka's hand moves towards her spell component pouch then she momentarily blanks as she realizes she doesn't have the component she needs to cast the spell that first popped into mind. She quickly casts about for something else to do.

"What!? How dare you draw weapons on Master Garthia, grey robe! Thon, help us!"

Elenka steps toward the gray robe and draws her terbutje chopping at the priest as she does so.



[sblock=Actions/OOC]Hmm... two problems: I realize now I haven't updated Elenka's statblock from when she leveled back in early Jan (now updated), & the spell I was going to cast has a focus that she hasn't had time to acquire since she leveled. Ah, well. New plan, I suppose. (Sorry, Artur!)

Not really enough time for a Bluff check... C'est la vie.
