DM Kathy d20+4=20 ; d3=2 ; d20+4=19 ; d20+5=13 ; Sunday December 6th, 2015 9:20:58 PM Toston staggers back and draws his kama while Lornak sinks an arrow into the yellow thug and Talanthrel slices him with his blade. Dušan finishes him off with a crossbow bolt.
Alizar heals Toston a little while Wilford gets into position. [OOC: Sneaking up on somebody in the middle of combat is extremely difficult. You need to break your opponent's line of sight somehow before you can even attempt it. So you'll want to duck behind a building or cast another Obscuring Mist or something if you want to try to sneak up on somebody.]
Hmerrin and Var miss their opponents.
Then, from the end of the street, you hear a weird, high-pitched giggle.
"Oh no!" says one of the spirits only Wilford can hear. "Oh, no! It's Reakos! Run! Run!"
The person approaching is humanoid, with a cat's muzzle and catlike claws. Spots dotted along his arms and shoulders indicate that he is a were-leopard. He also appears to be certifiably insane.
"Three little goblins jumped on a stump," he sings in his weird high-pitched voice. "Shook their fists and cried--Flee!" That last word is shouted, not sung (and it's not the way the song goes, anyway). He points his finger at Dušan, who needs to make a DC 12 Will save or become frightened. If he makes his save, he is instead shaken for one round.
Meanwhile, some tough-looking human bandits swarm onto the street behind the were-leopard. One of the walks up to the sleeping thug and gives him a kick. "Oi! Geddup!" he yells. The thug begins to stir.
Meanwile, two of the other bandits fire at Talanthrel, but miss. Hmerrin's opponent slashes at him, but also misses.
Alizar HP:19/19 AC: 15(T:12/FF:13) CMD:14 2d8+2=14 ; Sunday December 6th, 2015 9:52:17 PM
Wasting no time, Alizar moved across the street towards the wounded Toston. He laid his hands on Toston's shoulder and channeled his healing energy into his body. (Cure Moderate Wounds - Toston: +14 HP)
It seemed like none to soon either, as the newly arrived enemies promised to provide and much more difficult fight than the previous ruffians.
Alizar HP:19/19 AC: 15(T:12/FF:13) CMD:14 Sunday December 6th, 2015 9:55:07 PM
(CORRECTION: Toston should actually be healed for 15HP [2d8+3=15])
Talanthrel (Paul) [HP 26/26; AC 20; Touch 14; Flat 16; Cmd17] d20+4=16 ; d10+3=12 ; Monday December 7th, 2015 12:59:54 AM
Talanthrel makes a very put on face and moves to attack the one getting up. "No you don't! Your friends sure breed like rats!" And swing at the still prone Thug.
16 vs AC Dam 12
Var (Tom I.) HP:27/27 AC:16/T:13/F:13 CMD:19 d20+7=15 ; d8+3=11 ; Monday December 7th, 2015 8:24:11 AM
Var takes a shot at the fushia thug attacking Hmerrin (15 vs. AC; 11 damage), then shouts at Dusan "Oi! Get behind me!"
Lornak HP:24/24 AC: 16(T:13/FF:10) CMD:17 d20+4=11 ; d20+4=24 ; d20+4=10 ; Monday December 7th, 2015 12:14:42 PM
Lornak hears high pitched singing and gets a slight chill down his spine when he sees where its coming from. A scraggly humanoid Leopard thing enters the alley and points to Dusan. Lornak reacts as fast as his wits will allow him. He attempts to conceal himself and fails.(Stealth d20=11) He then throws his hand forward(dropping the silver bolt he was readying to load) and casts Darkness right in front of Scraggly(Darkness d20=24 20 foot radius. Crit hit. Crit hit confirmation d20=10).
(ooc- The area of effect should not include Talanthrel. Also, I am not a caster so I looked it up. I hope i did it correctly. d20 plus level (3) plus Wis modifier (1))
He then immediately retreats down the alley behind him hearing the faint chime of metal as it hits the ground. "Gah." he mouths, grimacing his disdain at having lost the bolt. He is careful to keep his eyes locked in the direction of the newcomers to see if his spell gives them pause and allows his companions a chance to regroup.
Hmerrin(HP 20/20 AC20/14t/16ff, CMD 18) d20+5=24 ; d8+3=6 ; d20+4=5 ; Monday December 7th, 2015 5:41:54 PM
Hmerrin risks a quick glance at whatever is making that noise.
"Oh boy," he mutters. "That looks not good."
The fighter tries to end the fight he's in, while calling out a question to his comrades. "Izzat one of those silver only fellas?"

Toston is grateful for his friend's assistance. "Thanks for the healing." he says.
Toston drops his masterwork kama seeing as he is going to need silver for this battle.
Toston moves 20 feet, drawing his silvered nunchaku.
Toston casts acid splash at the green assailant. (20 vs touch for 2 acid damage)

"Oh, no! It's Reakos! Run! Run!" "This is Reakos!!" Wil shouts. (Diplomacy: 15)(Intimidate:29) "We are looking for information Reakos. We are not afraid of you. Outside of your magic you are small. Tell us what the plan is for dirt city.)
(OOC Can I send Cicero to offer Guidance? I'm trying to sneak in a jog to Dusan and a spell. If not disregard.) Wil sends Cicero quickly over to Dusan and offers some Guidance.

DM Kathy d20+3=13 ; d20+3=10 ; d20+3=16 ; d6+1=3 ; d20+4=7 ; d20+6=12 ; Monday December 7th, 2015 9:47:36 PM Alizar provides Toston with some much-needed healing. Toston casts a spell at one of the bandits, and a glob of acid sizzles on the back of his hand. The man curses and glares at you.
Talanthrel attacks the prone thug, trying to ensure that he stays down. He opens up a nasty slash across the man's chest.
Var takes a shot that doesn't quite get through the thug's armor, but it doesn't matter because Hmerrin is able to finish off his opponent.
Lornak attempts to use a spell-like ability. He isn't really accustomed to it, so it doesn't go well. [OOC: A couple of things. A spell-like ability is not the same thing as a spell. It's similar, but doesn't have quite the same requirements. Lornak wouldn't have needed to drop his bolt to cast it. Also darkness is a touch spell, meaning you need to touch the object that is going to be the origin point of the darkness radius. So let's do this: Lornak has activated his Darkness ability, but he hasn't touched anything with it yet. Next round, he can touch an object as a swift action, and still have a standard action in which to do something. For example, he could touch one of hs bolts and fire it into the square he wants to use as an origin point. Or he could move up and touch the side of the building, and still have a standard action to attack or something.]
Wilford attempts some Diplomacy, but Reakos seems not to have heard. Or perhaps he just isn't interested in talking things out. [OOC: There is a spell called Spectral Hand that allows you to deliver touch spells with a ghostly hand. It is a second-level spell. A wizard's familiar can deliver touch spells once the wizard reaches 3rd level. So, basically, what you're asking to do with Cicero is something that normally you'd need to be a 3rd-level wizard for (you need to be 3rd level to cast 2nd-level spells). And even a 3rd-level wizard would need to expend resources to do it. So I'm going to say you can't do it for free.]
The thug on the ground, stays where he is, and seems to be trying only to defend himself (that is, he is using the Total Defense action). Three of the bandits move foward and strike with their rapiers. If Dušan is still there, he takes 3 points of damage. If he has fled in terror, he doesn't. :)
The remaining bandit fires a shot at Var, but it goes wide.
"Twinkle, twinkle, little star," Reakos sings, and then giggles. "How I wonder what your insides look like." He moves up and seems to be trying to cast a spell, but he does not succeed. [OOC: Tried to cast defensively and failed. And before you all get excited and jump around, casting defensively is what prevents and Attack of Opportunity. So no, nobody gets one.]
Dušan (Erik) [HP:15/18; AC:12 (14); Touch: 12(14); FF:10; CMD:13] d20+2=14 ; Monday December 7th, 2015 10:03:44 PM
Dušan manages to shake off the worst of the spells effects thanks to Wilford's assistance. Before he get's a chance to express his thanks, the new-comers come forward and knock him around a bit. Still shaken a bit by the spell, Dušan flees in a 5' step and then dashes behind the wall of fighters and attempts to get a hold of his nerves again.
Alizar HP:19/19 AC: 15(T:12/FF:13) CMD:14 Monday December 7th, 2015 10:13:44 PM
Alizar turned to finally face Reakos, and couldn't help but smile to himself at the sight before him. Even in Dirt City, this was not something you saw everyday. Alizar gathered up more energy inside of himself and channeled into the energy, positive waves of courage. Subtly altering the effects of the magic.
Looking at Reakos, then to his companions, he yelled, "Easy now friends, what the furball may lack in virtuosity of verse, he may more than make up for in claw and fang most adverse!"
Alizar released his Blessing amongst his friends, bolstering their confidence and hopefully increasing their chance for success. (Bless: Each ally gains a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and on saving throws against fear effects.)
He then pulled a silver arrow from his quiver and loaded it onto his bow.
Talanthrel (Paul) [HP 26/26; AC 20; Touch 14; Flat 16; Cmd17] d20+4=12 ; d10+3=9 ; d10+3=5 ; Tuesday December 8th, 2015 12:51:16 AM
Talanthrel laughs and shouts back to Alizar "What do you expect he 's a cat that hangs with rats. That would unhinge anyone." Seeing the thug s new defensive posture he smiles grimly and swings again.

Var takes a step back, and does a quick assessment of the situation. Too many, he thinks, need to thin the herd out a bit. He takes a 5 foot step back, and fires a shot at the Yellow bandit (13 vs. AC; 10 damage) but it appears to be about as effective as his previous shots.
Dušan (Erik) [HP:15/18; AC:12 (14); Touch: 12(14); FF:10; CMD:13] Tuesday December 8th, 2015 4:20:18 PM
Bolstered by his friends mirth and Alizar's blessing, Dušan shrugs off the last of the spells effects. Feeling bolder he takes a step forward and casts Shield of Faith on Wilford (+2 Deflection bonus to AC).
Lornak HP:24/24 AC: 16(T:13/FF:10) CMD:17 d20+7=19 ; d4+3=5 ; Tuesday December 8th, 2015 5:18:03 PM
Having readied his Darkness spell Lornak takes a swift action to imbue a bolt as he loads it into his crossbow. As he raises the crossbow a strange blackness starts to emit from the bolt. He pulls the trigger and fires it at one of the human thugs([grey/silver] d20=19 1d4=5 dmg) watching the blackness sail through the air as it finally takes purchase.

Ignoring the prone guy, Hmerrin pirouettes around Talanthel and swings at Yellow Guy.
"Seriously guys," he pleads. "Silver on Cat Face? Yes or No?"

Toston uses a swift action to charge his attacks with magic.
Toston then takes a five foot step and then flurries at the yellow guy with the silver nunchaku.

Everybody please take 200 XP for each of these scenes, or 400 XP total.]
Alizar casts Bless to bolster his companions.
Talanthrel swings again at the thug on the ground, but he is harder to hit now that he has gone full defensive. He rolls away from the blow.
Dušan casts a Shield of Faith on Wilford. Wilford and Var both fire shots, but both miss.
Toston lands a blow with his silver nunchaku. Hmerrin chops the same foe with his handaxe.
Lornak places his Darkness on a bolt, and fires the bolt at one of the bandits. Dimness fills that corner of the street.
Anyone without darkvision now has a 20% miss chance when attacking Reakos or the silver, red, or blue bandits. Please remember to roll your miss chance when attacking any of these targets.
"Hahaha! Let's all join the party!" Reakos says, and reaches out to touch Talanthrel. He succeeds, and there's just something creepy about those claws. Talanthrel is shaken for one round.
The three bandits attack Toston without success. The thug on the ground continues to just defend himself.
Talanthrel (Paul) [HP 26/26; AC 20; Touch 14; Flat 16; Cmd17] d20+4=24 ; d20+4=22 ; d10+3=9 ; Wednesday December 9th, 2015 1:03:09 AM
With a quiver of fear Talanthrel tries to finish off the thug, wanting him out of the way before he has to face Reakos. Then turns to Reakos and says as insultingly as possible "Come on Pussy Cat lets play!"

Var sees the catman wave his claws at Talanthrel, and does...something. With Hmerrin, Toston and Talanthrel holding the line, Var decides it's time to put the catman down.
"Yes" Var shouts to Hmerrin, "Silver for the cat face." and draws one of his silvered arrows. Taking a second to push the noise of battle from his mind he draws and releases (18 vs. AC; 8 damage (silvered)).
Lornak HP:24/24 AC: 16(T:13/FF:10) CMD:17 Wednesday December 9th, 2015 10:45:15 AM
Lornak uses the opportunity of cover from his Darkness spell to prep his bolts. He bends down, braces his shoulder against the wall of the building and lays out the non silver bolts on the ground in front of him. He then grabs and uncorks the bottle of Silversheen and imbues them with the essence of silver making sure that the points get good coverage. As he does, he hears the banter of his comrades knowing that the time for true battle is at hand. He quickly holsters his newly refined weapons and prepares to enter the fray.
Toston Lotor(Hugh Crosmun) [HP:17/17; AC:22; Touch: 18; FF:18; CMD:17] - CMTC d20+5=8 ; d20+5=21 ; d4+1=3 ; Wednesday December 9th, 2015 1:29:36 PM
Toston uses another swift action to charge his attacks with arcane strike
He then flurries against the tan/yellow bandit, missing on his first swing but potentially hitting with the second.
The gnome then takes a five foot step back.

Alizar aimed his loaded silver arrow towards Reakos, and released, sending the bolt into the darkness. Alizar didn't need any help knowing his arrow had missed, he knew the moment he released that the shot was going to fly wide of it's target. (Masterwork Short Bow: 8 Vs AC) Alizar cursed as he pulled a regular arrow from his quiver.
Dušan (Erik) [HP:15/18; AC:12; Touch: 12; FF:10; CMD:13] d100=14 ; Wednesday December 9th, 2015 3:53:03 PM
This fight has gone on much longer than Dušan originally anticipated. Hoping to thin the heard so everyone can focus on the Reakos, Dušan attempts to cast Sleep again on the thug in the middle (green, if green can't be targeted because of Darkness, then yellow) hoping to take as many down as possible. Channeling the arcane he feels the Wold's Blood nearly slip free, but manages siphon just enough to power his spell. Fearing it may not be enough, he takes a step back.

"Ha..ha..ha" Wil started laughing out of the blue. A creepy, this guy is going insane laugh. Wil moves twenty feet beside Talanthral. His goal is to sneak around behind the attackers. His crossbow is loaded. (Perception:25 - to find a way around the attacker. intimate: 18) "I have a golden cap," Wil whispered. "If I can get this on Reakos head it will turn him good."
(This golden cap is knit of lammasu fur. Placed on the head of a helpless evil person, the cap changes the person's alignment to good and then it loses all magical power.)

Lornak spends a moment to prepare his bolts for easy firing.
Toston finishes off one of the bandits.
Alizar fires a shot at Reakos, which misses. Dušan tries another Sleep spell. One of the bandits drops to the cobbles and begins to snore.
Wilford takes a moment to assess the battlefield. Maneuvering is going to be difficult, due to the Darkness spell. Wilford might be able to take advantage of the darkness to try to sneak up on the bandits. However, Reakos doesn't seem to be having any trouble seeing in the dim light. [That is, Reakos seems to have darkvision.] [OOC: "Helpless" has a specific meaning in D&D. The cap sounds really cool, but to use it, you'll need to knock Reakos unconscious, or grapple and pin him, or put him to sleep or something along those lines.]
"Hee! Come and get me!" Reakos says, and steps further into the Darkness. "Come out, come out, wherever you are!" He casts a Burning Hands, and a sheet of flame leaps toward Talanthrel and Hmerrin. They take 8 points of fire damage, DC 12 Reflex save for half.
One of the bandits steps around him to attack Talanthrel, but misses. The remaining bandit fires a shot at Toston, which also misses.

Oh, right. The map.
Talanthrel (Paul) [HP 26/26; AC 20; Touch 14; Flat 16; Cmd17] d20+5=20 ; d100=93 ; d20+4=23 ; d20+4=5 ; d10+3=5 ; Thursday December 10th, 2015 3:55:23 AM
Talanthrel leans out of the way of the rush of flame (reflex 20) and manages to only take a few small burns (dam 4). Cursing at the fact that someone gave a were cat darkness to hide in, he swings at the thug in front of him.
24 vs AC (crit = 6) :( no crit Dam=5

Var arches an eyebrow as Reakos dodges his shot, he was so sure that he could hit him. Var draws another silver arrow, gives himself a second to breath and releases. The catman must have assumed the darkness would protect him, as this shot easily finds it's way to Reakos (27 vs. AC; 9 damage (silver) )
Lornak HP:24/24 AC: 16(T:13/FF:10) CMD:17 d20+7=18 ; d4+3=5 ; Thursday December 10th, 2015 10:28:42 AM
Even though Lornak harbors slight regret about casting his spell to cover Dusan, he is grateful that the group is able to focus fire and neutralize multiple threats in short order, The scraggly were-cat looks tough. With a little luck the group will be able to subdue him in a manner more controlled than when they took on the were-rats. Lornak confidently loads an imbued bold into his crossbow. He notes the play of light off its shiny surface. He releases the bolt at one of the thugs(Silver/grey). (d20=18 1d4=5 dmg).
Toston Lotor(Hugh Crosmun) [HP:17/17; AC:22; Touch: 18; FF:18; CMD:17] - CMTC d20+6=8 ; d3=3 ; d100=31 ; Thursday December 10th, 2015 1:51:02 PM
Toston takes a five foot step and then fires another acid splash at the thug in green. His orb of acid likely flies wide.

Alizar fired his loaded arrow at the enemy standing in front of Reakos (green). (20 v AC; Chance to miss = 14) Alizar cursed as the shot missed by such a wide margin, he was not even sure where it actually went. He reached into his quiver, and pulled yet another arrow.
Dušan (Erik) [HP:15/18; AC:12; Touch: 12; FF:10; CMD:13] Thursday December 10th, 2015 4:00:57 PM
Dušan did not much savor the idea of going toe to toe, or maybe aura to aura versus another spellcaster, but the chance to confuse Reakos seems like to good of an oportunity. Making sure Talanthrel is well clear this time, Dušan casts Lesser Confusion cantrip on Reakos

Wil rushes passed Talenthral and one of the attackers. He waits to make his move within the darkness (Acrobatics: 10 to avoid a attack of opportunity; Climb: 19 - if needed )
Hmerrin watches his opponent go down, and glances up just in time to catch a wave of fire in the face. "Gods!" he cries out, in surprise and pain.
Gamely, he steps over to engage the next guy. Between the fire in his eyebrows, and the dimness concealing his foe, the lad is simply unable to see what he's doing.
"Last time fog, this time dark," he mutters. "We gotta talk about this 'Make the Bad Guys Harder to Hit' strategy you guys keep using. I'm not a fan."

Var sinks a silver arrow into Reakos.
Lornak fires, but he is shooting into melee, so his bolt does not hit. [OOC: Please remember to take the -4 penalty for shooting into melee.]
Toston hits one of the bandits with an Acid Splash. Alizar fires at the same bandit, but is foiled by the Darkness.
Dušan seems to think its a good idea to make Reakos even crazier.
Wilford tries to dodge past one of the bandits, but isn't quite nimble enough to avoid an Attack of Opportunity. Luckily, the bandit misses him.
Hmerrin took the full brunt of the flames, then missed his own attacks.
Reakos giggles. "They never come round but for the second part," he says. "Leaping and twirling. Ooh, so nice!"
The remaining bandits attack Talanthrel and Hmerrin, to no avail.

Talanthrel smirks at his opponent "I got you once, lets see if we can really make you feel it this time." He swings at the thug again.

Var continues his rain of Silvered arrows on Reakos, firing another shot without hesitation (24 vs. AC; 9 Damage (silvered) ). He sees Will tumbling and dodging his way around the back, and worries about the lad getting caught alone. "Reakos!" Var bellows, "Shut up!" hoping to distract the beast away from Wilford.
Lornak HP:24/24 AC: 16(T:13/FF:10) CMD:17 Friday December 11th, 2015 9:18:04 AM
Lornak moves next to Toston. As he does, he loads another bolt into his crossbow.
"Hey Reakos! Are you afraid to leave the shadows? Come out of it and fight me like a were-leopard!"
He takes a 5 foot step forward.

Dušan feels rejuvenated under be the energy from Alizar. Dušan feels that the battle is under control for the moment and takes the time to reload his heavy crossbow with a Silvesheen bolt.
(OOC: Wilford still has 3 rounds of Shield of Faith +2 Deflection bonus to AC).

Wil steps forward, with Stealth and with the silver dagger. He attempts to stab Reakos. (Attack: 5: hit: 4)(Blind fight: 14) (Stealth: 14)
Hmerrin's face stops burning as a soothing sensation wafts over him. "Oh yeah, much better," the lad practically coos.

Var hits Reakos with another silver arrow.
Lornak moves up next to Toston, who recasts his Shield spell. Dušan reloads.
Alizar heals his companions.
Wilford steps up to try to hit Reakos, but misses.
Hmerrin, feeling much better now, finishes off his opponent.
And that's when the reinforcements arrive. Two attack Wilford, but miss. The third fires a shot at Talanthrel that flies wide of its mark.
Reakos is bleeding and giggling, an unsettling combination. He bends down and prods the sleeping bandit. "Wakey, wakey!" he sings. "You're missing all the fun!" The bandit wakes up and scrambles to his feet.
Var (Tom I.) HP:27/27 AC:16/T:13/F:13 CMD:19 d20+8=26 ; d8+2=10 ; Monday December 14th, 2015 8:43:30 AM
"Oi! There's more of 'em!" Var shouts, "Where does he get all these goons from?" he asks, mostly to himself. Pulling another silver arrow, he continues his assault on Reakos (26 vs. AC; 10 damage (Silvered) )
Lornak (Tom I.) HP:24/24 AC: 16(T:13/FF:10) CMD:1 d20+8=16 ; d4+1=5 ; Monday December 14th, 2015 8:57:20 AM
Lornak takes a shot at the previously unconscious thug as he stands (16 vs. AC; 5 damage).
Dušan (Erik) [HP:18/18; AC:12; Touch: 12; FF:10; CMD:13] Monday December 14th, 2015 4:02:33 PM
Dušan is unsure of his abilities to fire into the darkness concealing Reakos. Aiming down the sights, he sees that he is holding red tinsel in his off hand supporting the haft of his crossbow. Unsure where exactly it came from, he gets an odd image in his head of gingerbread cookies running amok in a tavern. Filled with an unusual sense of mirth he tosses the tinsel up in the air and releases a belly laugh as full of merriment as Reakos' is creepy, "Ho ho ho!"
"Busy, busy, busy," Hmerrin mutters, as he takes a step and slashes into the very recently sleeping thug.

Toston use a swift action to charge his attacks with magic via arcane strike. He then takes a five foot step towards the thug in blue and flurries with his silver nunchaku.
His strikes with the quick moving bludgeon are off target.

Alizar shifted to his right to get a clear shot at one of the thugs (red) who just arrived. He released the shot, and felt himself oddly relieved as the arrow flew wide of its mark. (Masterwork Short Bow: 10 Vs AC) "Wil is going to need some help!" Alizar called to his companions.

Wil giggles.. "I guess insanity is contagious," Wil thinks. "You missed him completely," said Cicero as Wil expertly dodged one blow then pulled a perfect back bend to miss a blow from another. "And so did they..." He then giggled loudly still trying to intimidate his enemy. (Intimidate: 22) (Attack: 2 - Hit: 3 with Blind fight: 10: 1) "I am so going to go down again," a tiny little voice within his head said with fear. After swinging and missing twice more Wil steps to one side and gets ready for any blows. (Stealth: 16)(Acrobatics: 25 - not sure if I can use Acro to avoid damage but I'm going to try. :) )

DM Kathy Monday December 14th, 2015 10:24:52 PM Var fires another silver arrow and Reakos drops.
Lornak fires a shot at one of the bandits, but misses. Toston also misses. Hmerrin is more successful, and drops the man with two swings.
Dušan gives himself True Strike.
Alizar fires a shot, but misses.
Wilford, one his own against the reinforcements, does his best to stay alive another round. Talanthrel starts toward Reakos, but his target is already down.
"STAND DOWN!!!" an authoritative voice calls. You look to see an entire squad of Knives advancing rapidly on your fight. "Drop your weapons! Do not attempt to resist! You are all under arrest!"
The remaining bandits immediately drop their weapons and raise their hands, save one foolhardy soul who tries to run away. Several crossbow bolts are sticking out of his back before he has taken two steps. He falls.
"Do not attempt to resist!"
Lornak (Tom I.) HP:24/24 AC: 16(T:13/FF:10) CMD:1 Tuesday December 15th, 2015 8:17:53 AM
For a moment, Lornak considers slipping into the darkness and running, but that thought ends abruptly as he sees the Knives turn one of the thugs into a pincushion when he tries to flee. "I think, gentlemen," Lornak says, "We ought to do what Bogg's suggested in case this happened." Lornak kneels, and delicately sets down his hand crossbow, swordbreaker dagger, and rapier before taking a step back and showing his hands.
Var (Tom I.) 27/27 AC:16/T:13/FF:13 CMD:19 Tuesday December 15th, 2015 8:26:20 AM
Var's thrills at felling such a foul beast such as Reakos, however his victory is cut short by the arrival of the Knives. He gives them a foul-tempered glare over his shoulder, but complies with the command. He sets down his longbow in front of him, and deliberately unsheathes his handaxes, tossing them to the ground beside him. He raises his hands half-heartedly, but remains with his back to the knives. "This is going to be a long day, isn't it?" he mutters.
Dušan (Erik) [HP:18/18; AC:12; Touch: 12; FF:10; CMD:13] Tuesday December 15th, 2015 2:02:03 PM
Dušan watches the tinsel fall in direct correlation to his mood. Its magics fade from him and he is left cursing the timing of the knives. "Always a watchman when you don't need one..." he mumbles under his breath as he lowers his crossbow and slowly, obligingly kneels to set it on the ground along with his light crossbow and the one glass dagger he brought. Un-slinging his quiver, he stands again letting it drop to his feet as he raises his hands.
Alizar HP:19/19 AC: 15(T:12/FF:13) CMD:14 Tuesday December 15th, 2015 3:34:57 PM
The options furiously ran through Alizar's head, but they were few and undesirable. He followed his compatriots in places his weapons on the ground.
"Well boys, it looks as though we've been pinched."
Hmerrin(HP 19/20 AC20/14t/16ff, CMD 18) Tuesday December 15th, 2015 5:57:20 PM
"eep!" Hmerrin starts. The lad drops both axes like they're on fire, and shoots his hands up into the air.

Toston looks at the approaching Squad of Knives to try to figure out if any of them are the men that Wil and him previously interacted with when saving the poor man. (Perception : 22).
Toston is one to listen to Authority when that Authority is legitimate but with the corruption in this city he is highly skeptical of the Knives so he sizes up the squad for some indication of their intention. (Sense Motive: 27; natural 20)
Toston drops his silver nunchaku, as being both a monk and a sorcerer he does not need an actual weapon to do damage, takes a 5 foot step toward the shadow and uses a full round for a total defense action. He does not resist or make any threatening moves, but he does not put himself at a defensive disadvantage either. He waits at the ready for some indication of these Knives not being what they seem or their intentions become more sinister than just keeping the peace.

From within the darkness Wil giggles again as Reakos falls. He searches his body as the others fall away. (Perception: 27 - adding eyes of eagle and toston's toros Taur Try) (Stealth: 18) Wil then stands as far back within the darkness as he can. "Reakos is dead," he said within the darkness. "Let it be know that the adventurers delivered justice over the braggart." Unfortunately, Cicero has taken over for Wil. Cicero wanted to continue but Wil stopped him and just hid.
Talanthrel (Paul) [HP 26/26; AC 20; Touch 14; Flat 16; Cmd17] d20+12=23 ; Tuesday December 15th, 2015 9:56:52 PM
Talanthrel looks at the bolt riddled thug, then at the Knives, several of whom had empty crossbows. Seeing several of the others surrendering, he mutters "Bugger this can't be good." Having no intention of surrendering his mother's sword to the likes of the Knives, he shrugs his shoulders and steps into the darkness, using it concealing embrace to hide. (Stealth=23). He then sneaks out of the darkness opposite the Knives and around the nearest corner. If spotted he will sprint around the corner and hide again.
DM Kathy d20=14 ; Tuesday December 15th, 2015 11:26:24 PM In the Backstab Quarter
Lornak, Var, Dušan, Alizar, and Hmerrin surrender at once. Toston is a bit more cautious. You can tell this is not the same squad of Knives you dealt with before; this is a different group.
The Knives aren't especially gentle when they collar you and slap the shackles on, but they don't look like they're ready to murder you on the spot, either. They search you briefly for weapons, shackle your hands, and line you up.
Wilford attempts to blend into the shadows, but one keen-eyed Knife spots him. "You there!" he calls, leveling his crossbow. "Drop yer weapons an' get over here, or you'll wish you had!"
Talanthrel also attempts to slip away undetected, and he meets with more success. The Knives do not seem to notice you as you slip away and dart around the corner.
The Dancing Drake
Meanwhile, there is a meeting taking place at the Dancing Drake inn. Abel Boggs is there, awaiting a human woman known as Asteria. Asteria has been collecting quite a reputation of late, and Boggs has some things to discuss with her.

Dušan bights back all the smart alec remarks he wants to spit at the knives. He knows from experience, it doesn't tend to help these situations.
Alizar HP:19/19 AC: 15(T:12/FF:13) CMD:14 d20+6=14 ; Wednesday December 16th, 2015 8:29:08 PM
Alizar tried to remain impassive but ready in case an opportunity of escape arose. (Perception: 14) Alizar raised an eyebrow, "Gee, now would be a great time for a distraction of some kind."

Knowing he is still in the dark Wil tried again to slip away and follow Talanthrel. (Stealth: 20) The giggling finally stopped and Wil returned. If he can't slip away Wil reluctantly does what he is told.
DM Kathy Wednesday December 16th, 2015 11:44:46 PM Wilford tries one last time to get away, but the Knives are onto him now and he is unable to elude them. Soon he is manacled next to the others.
Toston tries to slip out of his manacles, but alas, they are well-made, and the right size for gnomes, so he is held fast.
Some of the Knives are checking on the fallen. "This one's still breathin'," says the one next to Reakos. "This one, too," says another.
"Bring them," says the captain.
"They started it," one of the bandits says sullenly.
"Yeah," says another. "We was mindin' our own business--"
"Save it for the magistrate," the captain snaps. "Move out!"
Escorted by the Knives, you make your way through the City Above to a Knives guardpost. You are brought inside, and searched more thoroughly. They take not only weapons, but also lockpicks, thieves' tools, spell components, and anything else that might be used to escape.
Talanthrel (Paul) [HP 26/26; AC 20; Touch 14; Flat 16; Cmd17] Thursday December 17th, 2015 12:04:21 AM
Talanthrel circles the block once he is sure there is no one following him and then follows the group to the guard post, while hanging back and blending with the crowd. Once he knows which post they have been taken to, he then heads off to let Boggs know of the situation.
Var (Tom I.) 27/27 AC:16/T:13/FF:13 CMD:19 d20+7=12 ; d20+10=18 ; d20+10=14 ; Thursday December 17th, 2015 8:17:19 AM
(OoC: Sorry for the missed post, guys. Got busy at work yesterday and didn't have time to drop in.)
Var gives a nasty scowl at the Knife that cuffs him (Intimidate: 12), but does not attempt to fight.
On the way to the Knives Guardpost, Var keeps an eye out, tracking where they are, and who might be watching them (Perception: 18).
(OoC: Whoops, ignore that last d20 roll. Too early in the morning, hit the wrong button.)
Lornak (Tom I.) HP:24/24 AC:16/T:13/13 CMD:17 d20+5=16 ; Thursday December 17th, 2015 8:24:49 AM
Lornak does his best to remain calm, and watches the Knives' actions intently (Sense Motive: 16). 'A chain of command is only as strong as it's weakest link', he thinks to himself, and tries to determine the guard that will be the most susceptible to bribery.
Wilford Grimly (HP:21/21; AC: 14; Touch: 12; Flat: 12; CMD: 14) d20+6=19 ; Thursday December 17th, 2015 12:27:36 PM

Toston eyes the guard post. Are there any animals about? (Perception: 19)
He mentally goes through his options. While manacled he cannot cast acid splash, disrupt undead, chill touch or shield because they require somantic components. He can cast light as all it needs is verbal components since he can eschew materials. He cannot cast Toros Taur Try as his focii for it are in his component pouch and it needs somantic components. He has 1 casting of dancing lights, prestidigitation, ghost sound and speak with animals as they are spell-like abilities and he can can kick and headbutt as a monk and trigger his stunning fist and arcane strike abilities with this attack. He has options but none of them particularly good. He decides to bide his time and wait for an opening. Hopefully they will remove the manacles when placed in a cell. If so he could start trying to dissolve things with acid.
He tries to get a feel for the personnel manning this guard post. (Sense Motive: 12). If things do take a turn for the worse and any of the guards do anything untoward to any of his friends he plans a counterattack.

Asteria Amarante ( https://docs.google.com/document/d/195J0CE_9264bjCdDocbop6-pBIO0kVbaqBqBIJvnjz8/edit?usp=sharing ) Thursday December 17th, 2015 6:08:11 PM
The doors to the Dancing Drake would be slowly opened, as a human peeked in. She entered the inn almost nervously, on the alert for anything perceived as a threat. After all, this could be a trap. Sitting down at a table close by, Asteria waited for the man known as Boggs to come.
Of course, none of this could have been possible if she hadn't done what she had. Thinking back, Asteria had done some pretty notable things, and it all started when she left home. The son of her tribe's chief was quite the bully, but he was the chief's son, so everyone just had to take it. Not Asteria. One day, she confronted the bully. It didn't end well for either of them. He left with some scars, and she was kicked out of the tribe. On her own, she wandered from town to town, and always found the same situation. People just wouldn't stand up for themselves! So of course, the logical thing to do was for Asteria to stand up for them. Any time she saw a bully, she'd beat them up, see how they like it! And then, she'd leave town, going to another one. The last place she had visited was here, Dirt City. After taking care of a few bullies, she was approached by a stranger, who invited her to talk.
It was a shady deal, but it couldn't be a coincidence that, after helping so many people, she was approached by someone. She figured that they were probably good, but if they weren't, that was why the axe was here. If it was needed, she would be ready.
Hmerrin(HP 19/20 AC20/14t/16ff, CMD 18) Thursday December 17th, 2015 6:42:24 PM
Hmerrin endures the search and seizure without resistance. The lad stands quietly, waiting.
Alizar HP:19/19 AC: 15(T:12/FF:13) CMD:14 Thursday December 17th, 2015 7:46:46 PM
Alizar tried his best to not look too weak during the search and seizure. As his belonging were taken, he causally remarked, "I'm going to need that back soon, it's my favorite one." to every bit that is taken away from him. It's the small things that keep you sane in troubled times...
Dušan (Erik) [HP:18/18; AC:12; Touch: 12; FF:10; CMD:13] Thursday December 17th, 2015 9:05:43 PM
Dušan chuckles at Alizar's cheeky attitude and curses as his own component pouch is taken from him.
DM Kathy Friday December 18th, 2015 1:18:37 AM In the Backstab Quarter:
Most of you are resigned to your fate, at least temporarily, and don't resist as your belongings are taken. To your relief, you see that one of the Knives is actually keeping an inventory, and your belongings are being put into marked bins. It's a hopeful sign that you might get your stuff back at some point.
Wilford tries to slip out of his manacles, but they are well-made and he isn't able to manage it.
Looking around, both Lornak and Toston can tell that most of the Knives are basically going through standard procedures. Yes, they sneer a bit, and threaten you, but nobody is celebrating because they caught those meddling adventurers. At least, not where you can see. Lornak is able to spot one or two Knives who appear more bored than most; they may be "weak links" but it's hard to say for sure.
Alizar puts on a bit of bravado, and the surviving House of Silver thugs are unimpressed. "How 'bout your head?" one of them asks nastily. "Is that your favorite head? 'Cause I'm gonna rip it off." "Shaddup!" one of the Knives says, and knocks the man down.
Once the Knives are satisfied that they have anything you could use to escape, they bring you to a large cell. The cell sits pretty much smack in the middle of the guardpost; Knives going about their business pass it on both sides. One by one, they remove your manacles and shove you into the cell. There is room for all of you, and then some, but it is still a cell. The House of Silver members are placed in an adjoining cell, where they can threaten and sneer at you.
The door of your cell shuts with an ominous CLANG!
At the CMTC Office:
Talanthrel reaches the office of the Crescent Moons Trading Company. You go inside to see Madri Brightside at her usual post. "Oh, hello!" she says cheerily. "Um, Talanthrel, right? Did you need something?"
The Dancing Drake
"Mistress Amarante," Abel Boggs says. "Thank you for agreeing to meet with me. Please sit down."
You sit, and Boggs orders a round from the bar.
"I represent an organization that seeks to do right for the common folk of Dirt City. Of course, to the outside world, we are simple merchants." He slides a card across the table. The words "Crescent Moons Trading Company" are imposed over a stylized crescent-moon brand.
"You're building quite a reputation for yourself of late, and if I may say so, you're building the kind of reputation that can be very dangrous to have. I'd like to invite you to join our organization. You would be an asset to us, but we would also be of assistance to you. We can help protect you from the wrong sort of attention. Will you join us?"
Everybody
[OOC: Everybody (except Genevieve, who just got here) take 300 XP for your Scuffle, and 1,000 XP for your Brawl. That's 1,300 XP altogether. I hope to start a new module next week.]

Var leans against the side of the cell facing the House of Silver and starts hurling insults and threats at them (Intimidate: 15).
Lornak (Tom I.) HP:24/24 AC:16/T:13/13 CMD:17 Friday December 18th, 2015 9:25:42 AM
Lornak sits with as much dignity as the situation allows. "I suppose we should get our stories straight, just in case they decide to take any statements." He gives a quick, surreptitious look at at the Knives walking by before continuing in a slightly lower voice "As well as figure out what our next move should be."

"You can escape this cage," Cicero said as the apparition stood in front of him. "Just escape and slay all these Knives." "I will not kill the Knives," Wil responded. "They have been respectful. Plus, they can answer questions about respons..." "They are brutes. I will kill them now." Wil stomped his foot. Of course no one but him see's Cicero. The mist from beneath Wil's cloak increased as his blood began to boil.
"Interrupt me again and I will no longer speak to you. The Knives will clarify their position on the assassination. They may also reveal this vile Arena business." Cicero disappeared. "I've craving Scorpion. Hey! Do you have scorpion?" he shouted as a guard passed.
Toston Lotor(Hugh Crosmun) [HP:17/17; AC:18; Touch: 18; FF:14; CMD:17] - CMTC d20+10=12 ; d20+7=15 ; Friday December 18th, 2015 2:24:00 PM
Toston whispers to his compatriots, "I can use acid splash since they unbound my hands. I think with repeated castings I could maybe eat through the lock. I think I need someone to be lookout and tell me when to stop if we do this, b/c I imagine they won't be happy if they see me doing it." Toston tries to study the guards to get a feel for their patterns in case he has to do this.

Lacking his component pouch dose not stop Dušan from experimenting with a cantrip thatg only requires a verbal and somatic component. He casts Guidance and attempts to figure out how long they will be here and if there is anyway to speed the process up, for examples bribes, assuming Dušan's history of growing up on the streets has familiarized him with a few of the more unsavory aspects of law enforcement.

Asteria Amarante (Genevieve) Friday December 18th, 2015 7:08:10 PM
Asteria takes a long swig of her drink, thinking deeply, It sounds like a great idea! She could kick people's butts, and for a good cause! And, she would have a team behind her. Being separated from her tribe was starting to get to her a bit, who knows how long it would take before she starts talking to herself? Lowering her drink, the Asteria begins to speak again in a soft tone, suppressing her growing excitement. This was all rather thrilling, like something you would find in a mystery book! Not that Asteria read books, as she couldn't read. But she knew of the concept!
"Okay. Yeah, sounds fun. When do I start?"
Talanthrel (Paul) [HP 26/26; AC 20; Touch 14; Flat 16; Cmd17] Friday December 18th, 2015 9:24:07 PM
Talanthrel smiles "Good day to you, Madri. Is Boggs in? We've hit a bit of a snag."
Hmerrin(HP 31/31 AC20/14t/16ff, CMD 19) Saturday December 19th, 2015 2:32:21 PM
Hmerrin nods. "I'm with him," he says, meaning Wil.
"You open that door, and then we're looking at escape charges and a couple dozen really unhappy guards, instead of a standard street brawl an' a bunch of bored guards. 'Sides, Boggs said if this happens, just go with it. And, since we seem to be short one cellmate, my guess is Boggs is finding out about our stay right now."
