Scotley's 4e Swashbuckler

[Scotley]

The rules turn out to be simple enough. The servants loft the clay disks one at a time. Each man to compete pays a gold piece. Each shooter gets three shots. The best shooter wins the pot. In the event of a tie for the win, each man in the tie pays another gold and competes again for the bigger pot. The shooters are happy to welcome both newcomers. They seem quite confident in their ability. The gentlemen will be happy to take a side bet of up to 5 gp as well. They introduce themselves as Henre and Bertrand.

OOC: The disks are AC 18 for ranged attacks. If you wish to compete pay your coin and make three ranged attacks. The guns are finely made and provide a +3 bonus to proficient shooters.

The old man takes a bit of time examining the rifle, turning it over, examining the loading and firing chambers, peering down the barrel. Ach, maybe Dreumanschaller make, maybe. Goot. He puts down his wager, cracks his neck, adjusts his glasses, and nods for the firing to begin. The old man fires clean, shattering the "pigeons" with ease.

OOC: Assuming he can use Aspect of Dancing Serpent and the targets count as "enemies", the old man has a +14 RBA (otherwise, subtract 1 from the rolls): RBA 1: Hit, RBA 2: Hit (mistyped on only did +12 instead of +14; will miss if he can't use Dancing Serpent), RBA 3: Hit.

Lucien is more than happy to place a five gold piece side bet with the men, putting his money on Wilhelm.

Malkyr Tsul

Malkyr only hits two of three and flinches at each bang. "Definitely not my kind of weapon. But thanks I was allowed to try."

Special: If an enemy has 10 or less HP left after hit by me, he is dead.

Vivienne took her time getting cleaned up and changed into fresh clothing, more suited to a fancy inn than to the rigors of travel. By the time she made her way back downstairs, the shooting contest was in full swing. She took a long, considering look at the guns, but seeing none of the inn's other female guests participating in the contest, she decided to abstain for the moment. Instead she amused herself by looking over the other contestants and spectators more carefully.

OOC: Insight +6, Streetwise +6, Perception +10 to look for anyone interesting or notable among the other guests. Did we ever settle who was carrying the letter? If not, I would suggest one of our more Perceptive types- or if anyone has a Bag of Holding.

OOC: Isn't Malkyr's bonus higher? +5 Dex + 2 Lvl + 1 Ki focus + 1 Master of Weapons +3 weapon: +12?

OOC: He is only proficient with simple ranged weapons and some specific ones. I assumed he isn't proficient with the rifle (the only other ranged weapon with +3 is a superior weapon), so no proficiency bonus = +9

Both men handle the guns with apparent skill. Henre blasts his three clays with smooth technique. The rest of his group claps softly. Bertrand is sweating as he takes up the gun and nails the first two, but his final shot is high and the clay whirls away unharmed. His friend Henre claps him on the back in sympathy and then turns to the old man. "Fine shooting my friend. It looks as if we will have to have another go to determine a winner between us. You may shoot first."

"You can do it, Wilhelm!" calls Lucien, clapping his hands loudly.

OOC: Since nobody spoke up I was going to assume the easiest one to steal from had the letter, but I'll give you a little more time to decide.

Vivienne sees only a few familiar faces among the spectators. One gentlemen nearby reading to a young lady she knows from a recent scandal in the city. He is known for writing scathing satire in the broadsheets. He fancies himself a poet, but his more lucrative work is in the form of doggerel to chide aristocrats. He overstepped recently and word is that one of his victims plans to challenge him to a dual when next they meet. So perhaps he has come here to lay low.

A few others are second tier nobles such as Madam Marpan who would be a little fish in the city, but here she is being paid court to like a queen as the ranking lady present. Vivienne draws more than a few curious looks herself and she can sense that many are speaking about the newcomers.
