'The Perilous (Chapter I, II, III, IV)

"I'd be better searching with Belok. I know nothing about good mounts or riding and I can't make heads or tails of magic. Beside talking to people is more interesting than smelling horse breath." Phelen says as he finally gives in and reaches over and grabs some fried something.

"Excellent, we should make quite a pair you and I. Shall we start with the bartender?" He takes one last hearty drink of ale and begins to rise, "so who actually needs a mount? I have Matilda and she is big enough to carry Phelan and I."
 

Reaching over and giving Belok 100 GP from my personal stash, "Belok, would you please get me an Axebeak for me to ride, preferably a black one with red streaks on it, if at all possible." Then turning to Delmar, "Would you like to accompany me to the bazaar/mage shop/church in town tomorrow so we can get the necesarry magical equipment."

I will then seek the counsel of one of the barmaids to see what information I can get out of her for Shabu and the Prismatic Spray.

Gather Information (1d20+3=8) (dang it)
 

Thane frowns. "Well I don't know much of magic or the local mounts used in this area... but I might be able to pick out a half-way decent horse."

Thane stands. "Assuming that this meeting is concluded, I'll meet you all later at the Prismatic Spray. I'll check around and see what I can find on Shabu, the 'Spray, and our employer."

OOC: 1) In a previous post I got a 21 result on Gather Info checks for Shabu and the Prismatic Spray.
2) Gather Inforamation +5 for info about Polixarchus (1d20+5=17) If Knowledge (nobility/royalty) +5 helps, add +2 for the synergy bonus.

"Umm, okay, I'll see what I can do, but Axe Beaks aren't my speciality." Turning to Phelan, "Shall we brace the bartender and see what we can learn?"

Phelen-the fierce

"We'll throw them for a loop, Belok...maybe we can wheedle a little more information out of them. I can be your body guard" Makes tough guy face and flexes "...or maybe not." The mischevous grin returns.

(ooc: i'll just help out as best I can, springing in with any kind of expansion on the given story that is needed. I'll work to keep our cover of needing cloaks enchanted.

(sorry for the delay- friday was my gaming night)

Ok, most of you have come up with some plans and ideas that all sound good.

Gathering Information....

PRISMATIC SPRAY:
Thane can recall some mention of a tavern frequented by mages- according to rumor you'd hgave to use magic to even get past the door. The place was supposed to be in an abandoned temple in a remote area of the slums. And the word on the street is "It only opens at the appointed hour".

Belok got something similar, including the sentence "it only opens at the appointed hour", and something about mages staying up late.

SHABU:
Belok hears a mention of Shabu being an eccentric mage who enoyed gambling, particularly unusual or high stakes games. He was also known to

POLIXARCHUS:
Thane (and possibly others who managed a roll over 15 or so) may gather the following. Polixarchus is very rich, and possibly related by marriage or through a distant cousin to someone in the sultanate. He is a figurative head to the guild and does not involve himself in the day to day workings so much, but lends his sizable financial backing. He is known to be a womanizer and has been spotted in some of the more.. questionable districts and locations in town. Phinea is usually nearby, along with bodyguards.

THE BAZAAR: Buying axebeaks won't be a problem and you can all ride them with a standard ride check. They cost around (did I say 100 gp or so?)
Buying magic items will be farily easy as well, up to about the 8,000-10,000 limit in the bazaar. Unfortunately there aren't any unlimited charges wands in this campaign. (sorry!)

Buying cloaks or carpets as a cover would be a great idea! The standard version will not be good enough as a cover, though! The kind of carpet that looks enchantable is at least a masterwork version which would run between 200-1000 gp. Cloaks would be cheaper- the very nicest cloaks you can get are specially made "royal desert cloaks" and cost 30 gp each.

BELOK'S UNDERWORLD CONTACTS:
Unfortunately, only one well connected person might be of help. There is an old lizardfolk woman named Madam Gecko who brews alchemical items and low-grade potions. She also fences stolen goods and brews poisons according to Belok, and knows a lot of the secret goings on of the bazaar.

DELMAR's TEMPLE CONTACTS:
Healing items (potions and wands) are half off if you go through the Pelorian temple. However, the notoriously nosy (and unrelaible blabbermouth) temple abbot (a half-elf named Bocephian) may ask questions.

Let me know what the exact plan is. Just to move the game along, your'e all gathered in the bazaar and you've bought what items you can. Update what you bought in the OOC thread.

IF I MISSED ANY OOC information/gather information or plan checks let me know! I'll update accordingly.

After getting a Noble Desert Cloak and an Axe Beak in the desired colors for Lilliana, Belok will visit Madam Gecko. He'll try to pick up a Tanglefoot bag, Thunderstone, smokestick and a couple of Sunrods and tindertwigs in exchange for the Moonstone. Then ask about high stakes gambling dens and the Prismatic Spray.

Belok rolls 1d20+6, getting [4,6] = (10)

Belok rolls 1d20+6, getting [15,6] = (21)
Gather Information x2

Gather Information x2 (1d20+6=10, 1d20+6=21)
 

After spending a short time in the Bazaar listening and gathering information(17) asking about the Master of Weavers, and Shabu. Sher finally takes his leave of Belok and his oddly contrasted partner and heads out of the gates and off towards the hills.

At a safe distance from the city and after making sure noone is about to witness his transformation the man shifts into his more favoured form. A shiver runs down over the shoulders and flanks of the fine sleek beasts, its great paws flex against the rocky floor and the beasts sets off first towards the west scouting(11) the route for any dangers or unusual signs

(ooc will travel a fair distance along the route before doubling back to make it back to his camp before dawn. Sleep, collect his things then return to the city. During his scouting he'll try and make an assessment of the route looking for any unusual signs, identify likely hazards and any place a ambush could occur. Also assuming that Sher has been hunting in the area (as a Tiger) what does he know of the local wildlife (animal or monster?) )
 

Thane wanders around alternately listening and chatting with people in the street. As dusk begins to fall, he collects his things and begins looking for an abandoned temple in the slums area. He also keeps an eye out for his compatriots... and any potential pickpockets. He rides his horse and keeps his sword drawn.

OOC: I figured everyone else is busy, and seeing as how Thane isn't a magic user or a good judge of animals, I just went off to scount the inn's location. I'm willing to change my action or be accompanied by someone in order to keep the group together.
