[QUOTE="Ralts Bloodthorne, post: 303184, member: 6390"] OK, back to what happened (Sorry, real life intruded) At breakfast, the party compared notes, and the rogue appraised the earrings at being worth at least 1500 gp. The wizard went up to ID a couple of things the rogue picked up, and the group returned to thier rooms. Meanwhile, the Knight Templar began dreaming that he would wake up, and get attacked by a Moorish zombie. He kept making his save, so he wouldn't wake up. When he finally failed it (the willpower save to not scream and wake himself up) he had managed to pass each of the 4 madness checks he had racked up (The dream repeated over a dozen times. He'd wake up, and a Moorish Zombie would be looming over him, he'd strike, and the zombie would bite at his cheek. He'd make a fortitude check to see if he'd scream, and then would suddenly wake up, covered in sweat. Repeat 1 dozen times) The Paladin's cringing fingertips found a bite-shaped welt on his cheek that he could not recall. Now, as the Roman Legionairre approached his room, he heard voices. Mainly, a man swearing vengeance on whoever it was that took away his sisters "flower of maidenhood" inside his room! Thinking quickly, he ran up to the where the Priest and the Rogue were sharing a room (the Priest is homosexual in accordance to his vow of chastity, and the thief is bisexual, and attracted to power!). The Rogue rapelled out the window, and looked in, seeing several nobley dressed men in the room, and one was gathering up bloodstained sheets as "Proof of my sister's sluttish behavior!" while four others stood by looking angry. Just them, someone in the garden/courtyard below saw the thief, but could not see the slender silk rope he was suspended by. "WITCHCRAFT!" they screamed. naturally, everyone looks, and the thief panics, scrambling up the rope and into the room. To the people below, he looked like he scrabbled up the wall. People below are screaming, and thinking fast, the fighter, the rogue and the Sorcerer run out in the hall and start yelling. When people look out in the hall, at the fighter holding shut the door while the rogue supports a "fainted" Priest, they shout that a demon flew in the window, he had 10 eyes, and a mouth full of 100 fangs, and was feasting on a whole pig! Everyone panics, and the trio beats feet into the street. Meanwhile, the Wizard/Sorcerer, is IDing everything, and hears the cries of "WITCH!" WOrried, he kicks over his brazier by accident, and stuffs his spellbook under his shirt. Unluckily for him, he is on the second floor. Here comes the city guard as he tries to slip out. The city guard shout at him to stop, and he runs for the stairs. The guard sees the brazier, and the incense, and raises the hue and cry. Guardsmen chase the PC up the stair, until, overcome with desperation, and cornered in the roof-garden, he jumps. And doesn't cast featherfall. And rolls a 1 on his tumbling. And lands on the fence. (I'm a merciful guy, as you are about to see) The spikes drive through the spellbook first (bet you thought I forgot about that!) and then through him. The trio that beat feet see him hit, and run over to him. "Oh my god, the witch threw this poor old man off the roof!" the Rogue screams, and the Priest "faints" again. "There he is!" the thief screams in "fear", pointing at the wildly gestulating gaurdsman on the roof. Reacting instantly, the guardsman on the street beging to fire crossbow bolts at the guardsman on the roof. While the crossbow fight begins, they pull the Wizard free and run for it. The fighter runs into the whore he met at the brothel (Remember Grace Jones' character from Conan the Destroyer? Well, that's who it is!) who agrees to take her "sexy little yellow man!" to safety. The party drags the critically wounded Wizard to the Hospice of St Andrew. The Monk Looking for work, wanders over to a place she had heard about: The Iron Butterfly. Word on the street has it that it is where women "partake of enjoyment without men" (The Players all thought that this meant it was a lesbian club) Figuring one of her skills might be able to find gainful employment as a bouncer, she heads over there. The Iron Butterfly turns out to be a woman's Health Spa slash Turkish Bath house, no clothing allowed. She gets hired, and overhears a conversation between two noble women. One has been brutally taken, and beaten, and the other is asking why she does not leave her brutal lover. The beaten one replies that "Who else has as much power and influence as him?" There is a ruckus out in the main room, and she enters to find three men causing havoc, a fat, drunken, hairy lout screaming out a woman's name. The engages them, seeing the propetier down with a bad sword cut to the face. She defeats the weaselly looking one, and the rat looking one, and begins to assualt the piggish/bearish one. Who promptly reveals himself to be able to turn into half man-half wolf. The Mexican Gunslingerr. Having gotten drunk, laid, mugged, shot a thief in the face, the Gunfighter awakes in the arms of a [i]really[/i] ugly guy, but manages to slip away without waking him up (who says escape artist isn't useful!) and wanders about the Festival, minus her shirt, but still carrying her pistols and rifle. The Iron Butterfly looks like a nice place, and maybe these fumblehanded freaks will quit feeling up her (now) sore breasts. She is inside, relaxing in a hot mudbath, when she hears the screaming. She rushes out, just in time to see a horrible half-man, half wolf slap the Chinese woman across the room. She runs for her guns, and the creature rushes at the women, grabbing up a terrified looking woman. She snatches free her pistols and spins to face the dog creature, who is leaping from the building, but can't risk a shot without possibly hitting the woman. When she is flanking it, she puts two bullets (one from each gun) into it, but they blow through the creature, and the wounds instantly seal. However, a woman on the other side gets her stomach split open. Our heroine grabs the basket with her gear in it, and runs out the side door, following the Chinese girl, who has scooped up some woman whose been hit in the face with a sword. The Gunslinger stops to pull on her clothing, when someone grabs her bare crotch. Looking between her legs, she sees a 9 year old little boy, who was grabbing for the purse on the front of the pants. She grabs the kid by the ear, yanks up her pants one handed, and proceeds to spank the little street rat within an inch of his life. She then follows the Chinese girl, who, after asking directions for a beggar, takes the wounded woman to the Hospice of St Andrew. The Paladin? Ahhh..... The PC in question emerges from the school, and joins the crowd that has packed the street in the celebration of the Festival (They still don't know the name of it). He passes by an alley, and a scimitar rings off the shoulder of his armor. Turning, and drawing his greatsword, he sees a pair of Moorish Zombies carrying Scimitars grinning at him from inside the alley. Worse yet, he recognises both men as foes who fell before his might during the Holy Crusade. The fight is over quickly, and he bows to the awestuck viewers, and says: "Next show in one hour, folks, now please, step back so that my comrades may repair thier makeup." (ooh, bonus XP for fast thinking!!!) He then whips out the silk cloth he keeps in his pocket (It was actually on his PC sheet, a fraggin silk sheet!) and hung it over the alley. He mimiced two extra vioces, as if they were getting ready, and ran down the alley after searching the Moors. All he took from them were an amulet from each of them. Wandering about a bit, he spots the graveyard, and decides to see if he is indeed going mad, and is his body lying there, dying in the darkness of last night, in the graveyard, and goes through the wrought iron gates.
