Shackled City Adventure Path

Quickly Laguz trys to find the invisible body of Boz, while at the same time trying to avoid detection by the Giant. Though he cannot see the body any better then the giant himself, Laguz has the advantage that he was paying attention when the Giant actually lost his grip, while for the giant it was just trying to restore his balance.

Once he finds the body, Laguz gropes for Boz's mouth and trys to carefully make sure most or all of the potion makes it into his mouth.

OOC: Had my hard drive die on me yesterday, in addition I am utterly swamped at work, and I am trying to plan for a trip to taiwan and japan... But,these games help me relax, so I shall do my best to keep up.... and I have access to other PCs at home... but you could do me a favor and handle rolls for me :)

Seeing nothing the giant snans the area alittle longer before he relaxes his grip on his club and looks down. Realizing there is no body theres he drops to the ground, slipping on the grease and falling flat, as he begins patting the area for a body. Having found his mouth Laguz dumps a potion down his throat (Your healed 11hp). Having no other way to tell if it helps or not he keeps his hand on Boz'z chin hoping for some sudden movement to indicate he was rising up, but unfortunatly gets no response. Just then the giants hand hits something hard and he begins searching for a grip on the invisible thing below him.

As the chimneys let out thier ear shattering bellow completly drowning out all sound in the area, the giants begin to tire of searching for the lizard. They make thier way back to the central area. From there two of them go through the doorway under the portcullis and the healthiest looking one stays in the main room keeping a close eye on the area Slitz dissapeared at, glancing behind him to the tunnels every now and then.

OOC:
I jumped ahead two rounds here just to account for the potion being administered.

Laguz: if you want to still do a move action for ast round your still entitled to one.

Aldreneth: You can post for this round and last round to get caught up.
 

Wouldn't the 2 curing spells be the last two rounds, or you mean for the Familiar? The Familiar is just watching; unless it sees something interesting/special, it ain't gonna do anything.
 

OOC:

Laguz had to spend a round searching for Boz's body and getting the potion set so he could pour it in Boz's mouth without spilling and wasting it. That was 2 rounds ago. Last round he administered the potion and rather then just wait for him to make the roll on it I did the roll and posted his action for that round. As such Laguz now gets to post for this round and a move action of last round (left over after the potion was given).

Aldreneth gets to act for last round (when the potion was delivered) and this round (the current round)

there is a small unused path thats growing over with foliage from the forest. Its not easy to find, and is impossible to see by boat, but the path leads through a network of caves. The main path will get you right to one of the entrances.

OOC: Uh, hey. Maby you should find a diffrent enterance. I'm prolly wrong and you seem a bit buisy to look for one at the moment but, maby there are cave tunnles more suted for our size? I didn't even know it was anywhere near the water...Maby there's a water way leading into it. It might be a while be four I'm able to join the fun but here's my character. Healer/Necromancer/Summoner..."Life...Death, eh whatever."

30 of 60 hp; 12 rounds of LV left

Aldreneth simply moves to a convenient position and waits for his Familiar to report in.

His Familiar watches the Giant groping around in the darkness and waits.
 

Vigor [+2 Fast Healing]

OOC: Waiting for Update on map, then I MIGHT do the following.

Slitz, descides to take a chance and make a sneaky break to the entrance. Hopefully he will find the others there.

While still hiding, will move to the entrance of room (the place where we came in). Hopefully I can make it out of the cave without notice.
Move Silently (1d20+5=11) (hopoefully the noise of the room will prevent them from hearing me.

If there is nothing for me to hide behind. Then I will just run quickly to the entrance and hope i can hide again before they see me.

OOC: I am not exactly sure of the placement of room and what exactly the Giant is doing. that and my PC is still daead and will probably continue to be for atleast a week. So rather then hold things up, here are my options based on what is happening, in order of importance.

For dm
[sblock]
1) giant is close to Laguz - move to stay out of reach, but keep an eye on where Boz lays, get rope ready, see #3

2) Giant close to boz - use prestidigitation (cast silently) to causes noises behind the giant to distract him, while getting rope ready (see #3)

3) Giant away from both Laguz and Boz - get rope around Boz (torso maybe) and Get him the hell out of the cave and back outside

Attitude - Save Boz if he can do it without getting himself killed, otherwise get himself out before before he runs out of invisibility... though he can hide behind something and recast it silently if he needs to.

As the giant manages to get a hold on Boz, Laguz acts quickly creating the sound of a glass bottle breaking somwhere down the north passage. The giant, completly forgetting about the invisible leg he had, whips around and steps toward it only to slip again on the grease and fall hard on the ground. With a roar of frustration the giant struggles anew to get up. Laguz then quickly wraps a rope around Boz and hastily ties it hoping the know holds since he can't see how well it was tied. Then began the slow progress of dragging the heavy knight out. As two of the other giants run by Laguz stops dead not daring to make a single sound until they are out of sight. After what seems like an eternity Laguz gets to the ramp leading up and after some much careful walking manages to get him and Boz into the tunnel without slipping on the ledge.

Meanwhile, Laguz sits still hiding far too well for the giant to see. After about 5 minutes Slitz realizes that his fly spell won't outlast the giants patience and takes his next best course of action...Rising to the ceiling and dashing to the exit as fast as possible. Almost immediatly the giant notices and takes off after the lizard. trying to cut him off at the tunnel entrance. However, a still invisible Laguz, hearing the giant running closer, steps out and puts a fresh coat of grease on the treacherous part of the ledge. The giant having seen that substance in effect far too much just grumbles and stops chasing. It watches the lizard fly into the tunnel before walking back having given up on its meal.

Aldreneth, having watched most of this unfold but not having much that could help now steps over to where Laguz indicates Boz to be and uses one of his last cure spells (9 hp) on the fallen man bringing him back to the realm of the walking. With everyone now standing and in the tunnel the group begins the slow walk back to the outside edge of the tunnel and sets camp about 200 feet to the west of the tunnel entrance so there out of sight of anything coming out of that.

A couple hours after camp is set up a soft blue glow emanates in the middle of the camp sight drawing attention of all who have not gone to sleep. After the glow subsides a female elf stands there holding a staff and looking alittle dazed. Her black robe seems to blend in with the night sky while her white vestments cause her to stand out like a beacon in the night. Cold dead eyes stare unblinking while her face is awash with color and a broad smile as if she was the happiest girl around.

OOC: I don;t know if Aldreneth had any curing left or not but thats how things go. If he was out then his dark patron gifted him with a bonus spell.
 

Senses [+2 Listen, Spot, Init]

OOC: While we wait, I leave my Fast Healing 2 Aura going. So, consider your hp half full (as that is the max limit the Fast Healing works). If you do it that way, then it saves on healing potions and spells.
Once everyone is healed halfway, I switch to Sense Aura.

Slitz quickly gets up and grins as abit of acid drips from his mouth. Standing straight up and puffing out his chest, while having his crest stand up, he says: "SSState reassson you here!"
