Malvoisin's Savage Tide OOC Thread *Resurrected*

[stonegod]

Can somebody give me a quick recap of of where we are at? We escaped the tunnels, got the journal of Penkus (plus his image for possible disguise self impersonation) and he is our only current link to Vanthus who has killed off the rest of his colleagues.

What do we think Vanthus is up to and what is the lotus reference?

Here be the post detailing Penkus' theory: That Vanthus is sleeping his way to the top of some 'Lotus' organization based below the Taxidermist's Guild lead by some 'Lady' of the Lotus. Penkus also had a tattoo of a dragon clutching a flower---could be a Lotus and thus related.

So I could disguise self myself that tattoo easily, which might be enough with a bluff to get us in the door.

A reminder that Kalen is good at bluffing and searching, but has no skill at info gathering.

Indeed, it might. Remember, though, that the party's only observation of the late Penkus came after Huecuva Blight had ravaged his person. This will surely make magical disguise somewhat more difficult (i.e., penalties to Disguise checks will apply).

"What? Yes its me Penkus. You heard me right. Shut up, I know I look like an elf now. I ran into some trouble and this druid reincarnated me. You see I still got the dragon tattoo here on my shoulder. Its me. I know I don't sound like me and I don't remember everything straight, damned druids, but I'm still me. Now let me in. I need to talk to the Lady."

Please refer to Col's previous thoughts on this matter:

"Arr, that be the right of it. I think we can be use'n a more scarred look for Penkus so that it be close enough---givin' a visible sign of 'trauma' that traitor would have put 'em through t' convince 'is mates. Tha' tattoo is key, we must make a sure that be kept." The scholar rubs his chin a moment. "If we can be finding a discrete cleric to be a'com'n out 'ere---after we 'clean' it, o' course---they can be doin' the question'n to get 'is voice, me think."

That guy likes to think ahead.

"Its true it is. Saw it with me own eyes!"

Anar to Aid Another.

Bael could take Anar's current studded leather?

No thanks. Bael already has a lousy swim skill modifier in a campaign that obviously has a fair water element to it, and loading him up with non-masterwork studded would compromise that further. He'll stick with his leather armor until something else comes up. Anar can have Penkus' armor.

Dang, man, that was like, six months ago! My memory's not that good!

(never you mind that the post is still at the top of the current IC page... )

 

[Malvoisin]

Okay, so help me break down the party's next move. After Anar, Kalen, and Bael clean up, is the party cutting out of the Vanderboren estate? If so, where are they headed? If not, what's the precise plan for the following day? Gather Info checks? A trip to the Taxidermist's Guildhall? Facials and pedicures at a Day Spa?

Oh, and covaithe, I'm not ignoring Eyvi's inquiries, a response will be forthcoming.

 

[Malvoisin]

Folks, I've worked on the Rogue's Gallery a bit more, and decided that for the treasure log, I'm just going to worry about what's currently on the table, and not try to track every little thing the party ever finds. From the current haul, I've indicated what's been spoken for. Correct me if there are any errors.

As you can see, there are still quite a few interesting items that no one has claimed. If you guys just want to sell the magical items (potions, wand), that's fine, but I'm only going to allow them to go for half of their listed values. I'd rather see them get used, frankly. The nonmagical valuables (holy symbol, ring, coffer) can be sold for full value, however. I'll give you guys a total for monetary gain after the loot is sold, but I want to be sure of what is to be sold and what is to be kept. If anyone wants to offer up a fair distribution of these items, I'd probably be happy to just go with that (so long there are no protests).
