S@squ@tch's N1: Against the Cult of the Reptile God IC

[Phoenix8008]

Stonefist speaks between bites of meat and cheese. "Would not our issues be better served by speaking to the local constable instead of those at the temple?" Stonefist asks. "Though I do not know if we should split up our group by leaving Gideon behind. How he can sleep again this early in the morning, I do not know." the dwarf wonders aloud.

 

[s@squ@tch]

OOC: Plans? The remaining 4 to go visit the temple of Merikka, the mayor, or the constable, or all three?

Ari: Merikka is a CG lesser goddess devoted to the hearth, the farm, and family.

Gideon Novak - Human Mercenary

Gideon is not entirely trustful of this town. Something dosen't smell right to him. After retiring to his room he takes his rope and lets himself out the window, after assuring he is not being watched. He will find a good hiding place and keep an eye on the group from a distance in case something is fishy. He will also place pillows under the sheet in his bed to make it look like he is sleeping there.

 

[s@squ@tch]

@ scranford: only problem with that plan is that there is no window in your room.

You make a good point, Stonefist, Ari says with thoughtfulness, Still, I am concerned that whatever hostility the common folk seem to feel for us is entrenched within, if not reinforced by the local administration. This human goddess Merikka being a benign power, I doubt her followers would be so inclined to prejudice.

OOC:

OK, I see one vote for the Temple, one vote for the Constable -- Krager is going with the majority, so it comes down to Alessin to break the tie -- unless Stonefist or Ari change their vote.

@ Scranford - you saw a window at the end of the hallway, but your rope would probably be visible to the staff hanging out the window and probably raise an eyebrow. Let me know what you want to do.

Gideon

If Gideon thinks he can let himself out the window, hang by his fingers and drop to the ground without killing himself he'll do that. Otherwise he'll just give the others an hour or two to clear out, then discreetly move around the town, keeping an eye out for danger.

[sblock=Gideon]

After about an hour or so in your room resting, you decide to go see what is happening around town. You carefully open your rooms door and walk as quietly as you can down the hallway to the window. Looking out of the window, you guess that the ground below is about 15 ft, so you lower yourself outside and then jump -- something you've done many times in the past, however, your foot catches on a loose board and throws your balance off, and you land awkwardly on the grass below. Somewhat smarting from the fall, you are now outside the Inn.

Actions?


OOC:
The second story window is about 15' above the ground. You didn't make the check, so you take 3 pts of non-lethal damage.

Scranford Jump check (+6 -3 for ACP from armor and shield) (1d20+3=12)
Scranford nonlethal falling damage (1d6=3)

Gideon Novak - Human Mercenary

Gideon heads towards the stream. He goes partially down the bank to hid himself, and circles around to the right. Once he reaches the edge of the village he will make his way back along the main road, sticking to the trees and buildings for cover. Once he spots the Inn he will keep an eye on his party members to see where they go, and just keep a general eye around the town. If he finds a handy tree he will climb it and hide in the branches for a birds eye view of things.

"Since nobody else wants ta decide, I guess we can head over to the temple first. Maybe we can check with the Constable on the way back from there?" Stonefist asks.

OOC: Since we aren't hearing from anyone else, I'll change my vote to get things moving.
