PFS 2-15: Shades of Ice I - Written in Blood

"Nay lass he did not burn his own home down," Kjett says standing near one of the blackened walls. (D4)

"Someone about has no love for those who serve as Pathfinders. It was they who did this and it is they whom we should find and bring to justice."

Arcane energy crackles around the warrior-mage's hands as he grips his axe tighter.

"Well if you say so. I guess that means our Barbarian Friend is just going to have to keep carrying that big heavy box around a while longer whilst we try to find these... people... and bring them to justice. Oh well, such is life. Poor fellow though, that box looks awful heavy. I mean I sure wouldn't be caught dead carrying something that big and heavy..." Lien rambles on and on about the size of the box and the way in which it is too heavy for her, but more than likely people stopped listening right around the point when she said the word Justice.

OOC: And just for the heck of it I am going to roll a Spellcraft and Knowledge Arcana (Max DC on the Knowledge Check is DC 10) to see if I can determine if the Fire that burnt this place down might have been magically created. Also going to cast Detect Magic, with the words of the spell worked into her Rambling.

Act 1: A house in ruins

You poke around for a few minutes. Kjett thinks the house was simply burnt to the ground. Additionally, "Flametounge", in a fit of clarity, thinks the writing on the wall is in blood. Additionally, for a while the coast seems clear. However, as you look up, what look like 4 common thugs walk to the entrance of the house. 3 of them wear chain shirt, while one has a full set of chainmail. They look inside menacingly.

The one in chainmail roars a command, brazenly in Common instead of Ulfen, as a means to stoke fear in you hearts.:
Kill all of them but the gnome! She could be useful.


GM: Roll Initiative and make first actions, please. Roll all possible necessary rolls (attack, dmg, etc.).

"MEEP.... hssiloainto... MEEP...." the Gnome says as she suddenly becomes aware of the men that had just threatened to kill the others in her group and to take her Captive. She wasn't very good at expressing herself in these kinds of situations with words, so she does the next best thing possible. She prepares herself to fight them unlatching her Light Mace and getting into a fighting Stance, at the same time as casting a minor spell that would guide her in the coming fight.

OOC: draw weapon, and cast Guidance, if that is acceptable?

"Little sister! Get behind me!" Kjett yells moving forward to put himself between Lien and the bandits. (move action: move to H-5)

As he moves the arcane energy around his hand grows and starts to wind it's way along the shaft and up to the blade of his weapon. Kjett smiles as the bandits take notice and hesitant for a moment. (swift action: burn 1 point from arcane pool to enhance weapon by +1)

He then takes his free hand and holds out his thumb and forefinger. With a quick circular motion in front of him he calls out in the ancient language of mages...

{{ Thirvell' Daknoc }}

Nothing happens that anyone can see but Kjett knows he is now protected and stands ready to battle this unknown foe. (standard action: cast shield)

Lien looks confusedly at Kjett when he speaks unable to understand a word of what he has said to her, but getting the idea when he puts himself between her and the Bandits. She nods her Gratitude. but doesn't say anything further.

OOC: for those who haven't had the opportunity to take a look at Lien's character sheet. I happened to take the Tongues Curse specifying Ignan as her language of choice. This means that at the moment the only language she can speak or understand is the language of the Fire Elementals.
 

Farouq gets out his mighty earthbreaker, ready to attack any thugs.

ooc:
depends when he acts, before the thugs, move to G8, ready action to attack any thugs moving within reach.
After the thugs - either attack directly, or move to where he can attack them but not beyond their reach. If they use missile weapons, use sling.
 

Etain flares at the implication that she might be less than useful, and draws her rapier, moving toward her foes (to G7) with fire in her eyes.
 

Kjett moves to H5, his weapon crackles with energy, and he casts his shield spell.

The thug wearing chainmail throws an axe at Kjett, but he misses; he draws another axe.
Being the closest target, the three other thugs also throw axes at Kjett. One hit hits Kjett for 5 points of damage. All 3 thugs take out another throwing axe and move to melee range.

Flametounge casts her spell and draws her weapon.

Foroque moves to and attacks the nearest thug, but misses.

Etain moves to melee range with her rapier.
