Safe House


DM Robert - "They were killed while we were away." 
Thursday April 21st, 2022 5:44:45 PM

NEW Scene. Everyone gets 5000xp for the scene.

Brittanica queries about the identities.
Stohp recounts the fate of their steward and trainees.
Bartomus laughs at the notion of having a magically secured building.
Delia has an astounding question.
Zanderallen makes an oath (sounds very hero pointy, take one).
Stock?
Ohen wonders about the political state of things.

_______

Drezz shakes his head. "While I know their names I haven't enough proof to show that they specifically broke any laws. And while naming a person as a Lord of Diamond can rouse anger, too often the anger stills as proof is lacking. They are very careful for the most part. That's why when the call came to become Overlord I opted in with several others. While the plan of Lord Velvet has not been revealed I thought I'd gain favor for running and then if I won start the process of routing out the Lords of Diamond with the aid of the city guard at my back. At least that's what Overlord, Aerashkiel and I planned should I win. And Lastly I don't want to endanger you with becoming a target for my knowledge."

Drezz nods to Delia. "I have no idea why Flower revealed me as a Lord of Diamond, and yet at the same time approved me as the only viable candidate. Perhaps all of the others were also plants from the Lords of Diamond, I know 2 of them were."

Drezz stands as Zanderallen states his oath. "Sir You All have been shining beacons of hope to the citizens of the Float. I know that every few meetings of the Lords of Diamond someone brings up how you've put a snag in their plans."

Thirty minutes pass. As time goes on an uncomfortable silence sets in. Nothing seems to be happening quickly. You may have time to change into your regular gear.

Brittanica says, "There are a number of spells we could set up with various casting times, costs and durations. Alarm, Arcane Lock, Forbiddance, Glyph of Warding (and greater version), Guards and Wards, Hallow, Sequester, and Status all come to mind. Unfortunately none of those spells can be cast spontaneously by a Bloodwitch and I didn't prepare any of the ones I knew as a Wizard today so I can't do anything about our present circumstances today but maybe moving forward I could start preparing some of these spells and setting them up in parts of Shield House."

She then says, "It has been an hours since we got here by now everyone knows what transpired at the Temple."

To Drezz she says, "We can keep secrets and can handle ourselves even if what you know ammounts to heresay leading up to today various members of the Shields have been approached by various candidates looking for support in their campaign for Overlords. It would help us to know at the very least which of the 2 other candidates you confirmed where members of the Lords of Diamonds so that any decision we may have made or were thinking about making we have the full knowledge of in making our decisions."

Stohp isn't to bothered by silence or the lack of something happening imediantly. She also still has questions. "So the goal here seems to be to keep you alive and to find some way to use your evidence against the lords of diamond. Presumably you had some method of reporting to the overlord, how do we contact him to update him on the situation and see what he thinks the best plan is? I don't want to go charging after diamond lords and possibly screw up whatever plans he's got in motion."

As everyone else has fully equipped themselves, Zanderallen retreats after a few minutes to retrieve the rest of his gear and get the aid of a fellow shield in properly donning his full plate. "We may need to invest some time in fortifying our home, I doubt our campaign against the Lords of Diamond will be over quickly." He returns to his post at the window, wondering what effect the news is having as it spreads through the city.

________________

HQ neighborhood

Those on watch notice that people are beginning to walk by and gawk. It's not like they can really loiter in front of your warehouse. Though to the west Stock and Bartomus note there's more people congregating and taking. You get a sense that people are more curious than threatening as they try to casually walk by.

Drezz seems to ignore Brittanic as much as he politely can. He's probably still a bit peeved with her. "I don't know what the next step will be. I'm hoping the Overlord will contact me soon.

I know that for the longest time the Lords of Diamond were beholding or more I should say under the sway of their member Lord Crimson. From what I gather he had some sort of diary and/or evidence pertaining to a lot of the older more established Lords of Diamond. I never discovered his name, but apparently he's no longer a factor in the Float because everyone is returning to their individual plans and schemes.

My plan was to out the Lords of Diamond we knew of just before the election. Hopefully the mad scramble from that would disrupt any of their plans to influence and win the election. But now, I mean I trust Flower, but why would a god betray me and in the same sentence endorse me as the only candidate?"


Stock hears the crunch of feet on gravel nearby, and while there's people across the street the sound seemed closer. Suddenly there's a knocking at the HQ door. Looking out the peek hole no one is there, but Ohen and Brittanica having True Seeing up will see two cloaked figures at the door. Suddenly the cloaked figures throw back their hoods. They are both female and now visible normally.

Bartomus heard the sound of someone knocking. He looked at the door and then back at the others confused.

"Wasn't Zander outside?" He asked as he continued to the door and looked out the peephole. He didn't see anyone out there, but at the same time swore he had heard the knock. He closed the peephole but still leaned against the door.

"Who's there? I heard you knock. Identify yourself."

Stohp makes a face. "That idiot. I guess that's why it took so long to pin him down. We had good evidence on his crimes for over a year and yet somehow couldn't make any progress in actually dealing with him for most of that time. If it's more like him we'll need the Overload to pin them down and make it stick."

Suddenly a small bird appears and drops a written message that Brittanica snatches from the air before fading.

She looks down at the message and reads it before uttering, "Oh dear. Um I have to go. I am being summoned by The Star Mages guild regarding current events. Apparently they are sending someone to replace me. I have to gather my things from my room and then I really have to go. Let me just check the peep hole to make sure they haven't sent someone for me."

She sighs and says"No one there at least to get me. However there are 2 cloaked women out there. One of them is Phaela Vala the palace guard and the other well she'll be introducing herself in due time. I didn't realize the guild had anyone engaged with the Palace guard but given her unusual proclivities well it would make sense they gave her a more martial role to fill. I wonder what she'll think of the change in assignments. Well do tell her I send my regards. Stock, Stohp, Zanderallen, Bartomus, Ohen, Delia, It has been my honor to adventure with you although my time as a Shield was short and has sadly reached its end. I am being summoned by the guild as I said and since the person summoning me is none other than Jaret Jamusen, Archmage of Transmutation and I myself am a Transmuter I cannot ignore this summons. I'm going to use a teleport spell after I gather my things so this is good bye. Hopefully we will meet again someday, if not my replacement is capable just unorthodox."

The figure standing next to Phaela Vala is wearing a white kitsune mask with orange highlights. A pair of piercing blue eyes stare out the eye holes. Long blonde hair some flows down her neck and back. You also realize a small blue horned humanoid flying slightly behind the other woman with the Kitsune mask is also wearing the same Kitsune mask.

The woman gives a sharp rap on the door and says, "Open up in the name of the Overlord. My name is Armalad currently under the command of Phaela Vala of the Palace Guard and we were told to make it here post haste to debrief you over the events earlier today at the temple."

At the sound of a footstep, Stock pivots and is ready to sniff out the threat when the two women appear. Their appearance gives the dwarf enough pause to not throttle them on sight.

"Hey lady - didn't anybody ever tell you not to sneak up on an edgy dwarf?"

Introducing Armalad

The two palace guards are allowed in. Brittanica goes up to pack up her things. Phaela Vala motions for Bartomus and Stock to follow.

Once inside she fully takes off her cloak. Ohen can tell it's actually a cloak of invisibility. She draps it over her arm and then motions for Armalad to give her cloak to her. She scans the room and nods to everyone. "Well things are certainly in an uproar. It took a bit but the clerics and Overlord Aerashkiel have calmed down those directly at the scene and she's already working on spinning this into something at least not approaching a disaster. However, Rothchild, and Gilcrest are refusing to step aside for the election no matter if they are favored by the gods or not."

Drezz nods, "I'd expect no less from Rothchild. But I really don't know this Gilcrest."

Phaela shrugs as if to say both are beneath her notice. "Aerashkiel says you're going to have to campaign. Being named Lord of Diamond isn't going to sit well with people even if you are favored. She thinks you're going to have to tell everyone the full story. That he's been working undercover for Aerashkiel. "She's gotten the other 2 to agree to two debates or speeches, or whatever it is you politicians call talking up the people. One is scheduled for tomorrow and another for the day after. Then after that last speech will be the reception in the palace and then of course the next day is the voting and the Official Mask Day ceremonies."

Drezz looks to you all. "I guess we're going to have to go out in public a few times."

Phaela looks to the shields as well. "I've release Armalad from active duty to help out with things here. She's a mixed bag of spells and what not."

OOC setting up another bit of questions and answers
Day 0 is now,
Day 1 is speech in public
Day 2 is speech in public and then reception at the palace
Day 3 is voting and Mask Day Ceremony.

Monday April 25th, 2022 8:23:40 PM

Armalad removes her mask as the water mephit flying behind her does the same.

"I figure we are all friends here." she says smiling.

With the mask off you can clearly see the short lithe figure of an elf with long golden blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. She carries a longbow and not one but 2 quivers of arrows.

"Mixed bag of spells and whatnot indeed. Arcane Archer, Arcane Trickster, Universalist Wizard and a bit of the skills of a mispent youth or what is referred to in the common parlance as a Rogue. I learned to open my fair share of locks and if I catch someone unawares I can make it hurt but let's just say my primary focus is blending the bow with spellcraft. I can cast some spells while I fire an arrow. It's well enough Phaela released me as I am also a member of the Star Mages guild in good standing though not as high a rank as Brittanica. We've met. We find eachother tolerable though she isn't exactly my cup of tea. The guild wanted me to replace Britannica as well so if you folks will have me I'll do as both sets of my superiors asked and help with the task at hand which appears to be acting as Drezz's bodyguard."

She gestures to the Water Mephit flying behind her, "This is Joker, my familiar, he helps make it so I can potentially catch folks unaware when I need to. Say hi Joker."

"Hi Joker...Oh come on boss you know what I meant." The mephit says

"Watch him." Armalad tells the others, 'he lives up to his name."

Bartomus watched a Brittanica got her message and then quickly packed. He was a bit confused, but life changes and can do so quickly.

"Great to have met you and adventure with you Britannica. Stay safe, do good, and come visit when you can." He shook her hand and waived after her when she left.

He then found a place to lean against a wall and watched the introduction of the new member to the Shields. He listened and then watched as Armalad's familiar, a winged little man with horns and a wicked grin reaffirmed his name. Bartomus started laughing.

"Kinda like the Joker. Nice to meet you and welcome Armalad. He's in charge," Bartomus points over at Zander. "I am just one of the troupe, the name's Bartomus, feel free to use it or Bart, or hey you. As to help, well, are you any good at politics? Cause apparently we are going to be up to our eyebrows, or the little guy's wings with that stuff."

Stohp nods in greeting to the new person but is to focused on current events to introduce herself properly. "So we get to play bodyguard. I'd prefer an proactive approach, taking out the other lords of diamond before they can hire assassins, but there's no way to get them out of circulation in the time we have. Perhaps we can also contribute some spells and items to ensure your safety Drezz"

Stohp is thinking about stuff like an amulet of natural armor, maybe a nice looking cloak that's actually a cloak of resistance. If the party has such items Drezz can wear some of them to the speech so that he's protected while not looking like it. She's willing to donate her ring of protection +2

"I'm Stock. I handle greetings and introductions around here...at least ever since I met the others in The Temple of Flower and I broke through a wall to battle evil.

Sorry to see you go, Brit. But I'm sure we'll see you around sometime.

So Phaela knows about Drizz's secret mission then? Hopefully the number of people who know is pretty small. That's the kind of secret that can blow up in your face. Literally. I would agree though, go for the truth an honesty route and catch the Diamonds off guard. There's a good chance nobody believes you and if they're out to kill you anyway, no more harm can hit you, right?"

"Welcome aboard, Armalad and the Joker. You'll never get bored with the Shields, that's for sure. Once things calm down, I'll show you our archery range on the roof.

"I'm not much for politics, but we've already used the magic hat (hat of disguise) to hide Drezz. If he's giving speeches could he write one out and one of us gives it looking like him? I'd volunteer as bait, but seeing as I'm a woman and don't know that I could give a speech if my life depended on it...

"If that one were found out folks might stay angry though. Diamond guy and looking like you're hiding wouldn't go over well."

Bartomus asks about political adeptness.
Stohp wonders what would be needed to help protect Drezz.
Stock is almost philosophical.
Delia wonders about subbing for Drezz.
Ohen?
Zanderallen?

Phaela nods, "Well, the Overlord wants you to “babysit” Drezz until after the election…so for three days with the whole town hidden behind their masks and all the difficulties that presents. You are responsible for the candidate’s safety. Name your price. We have to have an Overlord. To have a regent is unthinkable and the gods did approve him, even though we don’t get why he was chosen and none of the others were.”

Drezz nods and says, [b]"Let me explain more about how this all came about. Drezz’s sister Astryn was an agent for the Overlord trying to find out who they all were. From her diary I found she fell in love with a Lords of Diamond, a guy named Garlyn Zue, who was killed with her. Somehow the other Lords of Diamond, discover that she she is an agent trying to find out who they are. She and Garlyn were killed by the Lords of Diamond in a most horrible and gruesome way in order to send a message both to the Overlord and other Lords of Diamond to stay in line and watch themselves (if you've seen the 'Reacher' show on Amazon Prime then that's what I'm going for). I spoke to the Overlord of my need for revenge or justice. That's why I started my art studio and gallery. It's prestigious enough and I tried to set myself up as someone willing to do what it takes to get ahead. After a few years I was finally able “hooks his bait” and make a friend, Florance DeChancy, who invited me to join. I begag to gather some info and learns the art of hiring help that hires help that hires help. A triple blind. Over the next several years I worked and now know and have proof of 5 members of the Lords of Diamond, including one of the three current leaders, Lord Marcus Rothchild, who is a candidate for Overlord and was not outed by Flower, of course neither is Florence."


He continues, "I've hidden the evidence and we may need to fetch it at some point, but for now I think it's safe. You see the structure of the Lords of Diamond is very loose and very large. There's three that are in charge at the meetings and they seem to be coordinating things. But meeting sizes vary between 15 to over 50 sometimes. I'm not even sure all the Lords of Diamond live in the Float, but most seemed to be based here, from some of the proposals for action that have come up."

Phaela says "I think you should tell someone where that evidence is....just in case." She looks at you Shields as persuaders.

OOC: things, 1) literally name your price for this job. 2) you will be holed up for a few days, food? water? 3) Do you go after the evidence Drezz has or let is sit for now?

Armalad (Hugh) HP 93/93 AC 20 / Touch 18 / Flat 14 CMD 25

Armalad says, "Perhaps the Gods wanted Drezz to be Overlord because he's the only one of the candidates who entered the race for selfless reasons...to bring down the Lords of Diamonds a threat to the Float. If everyone else who entered the race has an agenda hidden or otherwise then Drezz wins the God choice by default. As to why they would out him as a member perhaps it is to help him reach his goals. If the rest of the Lords of Diamonds have to act in haste against Drezz that makes it more likely they'd commit mistakes they wouldn't normally make no?"

Armalad says to Delia, "I have a very specific set of skills, though sadly social skills aren't really my thing. Joker has a little skill at bluffing though and I can cast charm person if I prepare it."

She then asks Drezz, "Who else knows either where your hiding place for the evidence is or where you might hide something important. If no one know where you hid your evidence or where you might have hid it I'd say we don't have to get your evidence but if some folks might know where it is then I'd argue we need to collect it before someone else does.".

Stohp has no interest about speculating what gods intend. Nor is she sure what to ask for reward wise. Instead she starts getting a list of everything they'll need if they are going to stay in for several days. Food to feed everyone and stuff like that.

"Suspect that the Diamonds won't be happy about all of this then. But, I also think we really haven't been here at our HQ for all that long so food, ale and wine might be something to focus on." He looked about and saw that Stohp was already working on a list for that.

"I can help Stohp. We really need to think about hiring some staff again. Maybe that could be one of the things we use the payment from the Council for in the future."

Bartomus starts helping with the inventory of what they have to help out with Stohp's list making.

Zanderallen snaps out his watch, giving Brit a warm send off before turning to assess the new comer. She came from the Overlord so he assumed her to be vetted, and her skills might be needed sooner rather than later. "Welcome Armalad, I assume the Overlord filled you in on what's going on? I apologize if the welcome is brief but you'll find empty quarters upstairs."

To Phaela he grimaces at the hints of the execution and lays out some demands, "The Overlord knows we would do this solely because it is right, but if Aerashkiel is offering I have some requests. First the basic, covering expenses related to protecting Drezz. Second, the Silver Shields get their adventuring status upgraded to include Carte Blanche authority over the guard, provided the request is reasonable. Third and final, the Overlord arranges to have Shield HQ Hallowed with an Invisibility Purge on all non-good creatures who enter for as long as the Silver Shields are an active adventuring group. He watches to see how Phaela reacts.

Then he turns to Drezz, "If anyone even has an idea you might have that kind of evidence I think it would be much preferable for us to retrieve it and bring it here. Then we do not have to worry about a seperate location and have it on hand immediately if something goes wrong."

Delia grins at Armalad a little, "My social graces extend about to knowing who I should keep my mouth shut around. As long as the Joker doesn't bother Hawky, we'll get on fine." She proves her point by silently watching Zanderallen work his magic on Drezz, agreeing that they should reclaim the evidence as soon as possible.

Armalad does some 'splainin' and asks a question.
Stohp makes a shopping list.
Bartomus helps with the shopping list.
Zanderallen makes some 'demands' for repayment and presses about the evidence.
Delia talks to Armalad.
Stock?
Ohen?

Drezz says, "I'm fairly certain it is well hidden. And none other knows the location. It's not any place I would normally frequent."

Stohp and Bartomus make a list of supplies. Phaela agrees to take the list to the local shop-keeps you've already dealt with for food.

Phaela considers, "I'll take your requests to the Overlord. I'm pretty sure we can work something out. I'll send a feather token message as soon as the location for the first speech is determined." She then departs.

Another hour passes and Happy shows up with a helper toting a great deal of victuals and libations. He nods at whomever is at watch at the window and sets them in front of the door. It's a good amount of bread, muffins, dried sausage, a couple of roasted chickens, ale, water, apples, legumes, and lettuce, carrots, and beets. You think it's enough for a day at least.

And then another hour passes. It's about 4 pm.

Um, please state where you are in the HQ, Oh look, here's a map for reference, not that anything is about to happen, nothing to see here.

When the list was done and it became clear that they didn't have to go actually get the things, Bartomus listened to Zander's payment suggestions to Phaedra. He nodded in agreement and support of Zander's list as it was a pretty good list. He thought of adding something like a cask of fine brandy each week, reduction of taxes, and a few staff; but, decided against it as Zander's list was pretty good.

As the hour passed, and then the goods arrived, Bartomus went along and helped to bring things in and set things about in their proper places. When they had finished grabbing a bite, he headed up to his room and spent some time looking over the carving project he had on his workbench. He picked up his tools and kept working the layout of their adventure in the temple and the crying wood.

Crafting - 21; I think Bart had a room on the 2nd floor - though I don't recall which - so I am going to say AD 14 for his general location

While Armalad would like to check out that rooftop archery range, she knows that for now she has a job to do so she picks a room and deposits what little extraneous items she has there before getting back to Drezz and guarding him as Phaela intended.

Delia will settle into patrolling the room Drezz is in. Since Zander is in the front half, she's somewhere in the back half of the room (arbitrarily N7), keeping an eye out the windows and listening for anything out of the ordinary.

Ohen figures that someone who can see invisibility should probably be watching from the roof for a while, as far as he knows that's him. He'll double check that he has all his combat gear, enjoy his meal, then spend most of his time patrolling the roof. At least until he gets bored. He's no watchman, but he could make it for an hour.

Drezz brings up the art trade business. He's specialized in paintings and goes on about noted artist of the past that he has acquired and been able to sell for a reasonable profit.

"What the heck was that?" Bartomus asked himself. He sat down the carving he was working on, noting that he had made some decent progress in the short time he was working on it. As he did so, he replayed what he heard and realized that someone or something had broken the windows in the rooms on the far side of their building. Windows, he said to himself that looked out over the water. He glanced over at the window outside his room as he reached for his glaive.

Zanderallen reacts instantly as he hears windows break throughout the building. He directs Drezz towards the work room doors, "In there, safe room." As the drow moves he move with him, making himself as a big a target as possible between Drezz and the windows, while drawing his shield, then sword. He then focuses on his divine sight and uses Detect Evil towards the broken windows, starting with the ones to the east.

Hmm, I need to change the X's to numbers, just to keep track for myself of which did what. Position for you is not going to work for now, as they are invisible.
A creature can generally notice the presence of an active invisible creature within 30 feet with a DC 20 Perception check. The observer gains a hunch that “something’s there” but can’t see it or target it accurately with an attack. It’s practically impossible (+20 DC) to pinpoint an invisible creature’s location with a Perception check. Even once a character has pinpointed the square that contains an invisible creature, the creature still benefits from total concealment (50% miss chance). There are a number of modifiers that can be applied to this DC if the invisible creature is moving or engaged in a noisy activity. [u]and these guys have stealth to add on...[u]

Armalad says to Drezz, "The idea would have been to stay still but that ship has sailed. Stay with Stock."

Joker is at C6 by the way. Armalad casts message targetting Joker, Zanderallen, Stock, Stohp, Drezz and Delia.

The following requires a DC 25 Perception check to overhear due to the message.

Armalad points to joker and whisper's "10 x 10 smoke, you, me and 2 other squares"

Joker replies in a whisper, "Right, boss"

Joker uses the wand of silent image to create the illusion of smoke in a 10 x 10 square encompassing C6, D6, C7, D7 as if a smoke stick was used giving Armalad and Joker total concealment if the invisible attackers are greater than 5 feet away and have either not interacted with / studied carefully the smoke or otherwise perceived the illusion.

Status Effects: Raging!

Stock growls, "Stop hiding and come out and PLAY!" He embraces his rage and then starts sniffing around like a feral wolf.

He then begins walking with purpose in one direction, assuming he picks up a creature in the room. He also calls out how many other creatures in the room and vaguely gestures in their direction.

===========
Rage
Rage Power: Scent (Details below)
I'm hoping you rule that their wind blast means Stock is downwind from their scents. If he can't pick up anything, he walks to the middle of the room - Call it G8 to continue sniffing.
Move Action - Identify the direction of the closest scent
Move Action - walk toward the nearest scent and stop adjacent to it. (40' of movement)

The creature can detect opponents within 30 feet by sense of smell. If the opponent is upwind, the range increases to 60 feet; if downwind, it drops to 15 feet. Strong scents, such as smoke or rotting garbage, can be detected at twice the ranges noted above. Overpowering scents, such as skunk musk or troglodyte stench, can be detected at triple normal range.

When a creature detects a scent, the exact location of the source is not revealed—only its presence somewhere within range. The creature can take a move action to note the direction of the scent. When the creature is within 5 feet of the source, it pinpoints the source’s location.

Tuesday May 3rd, 2022 1:22:22 AM

Armalad points at Zanderallen and whispers, "I have glitterdust and true strike each prepared once at my proposal. I also have 10 pieces of chalk and 5 pounds of flour. Obviously I'm more comfortable using magic but I have some mundane means of outlining or hitting our targets." (OOC: whispered conversation: DC 25 to overhear)

(OOC1: I forgot familiars confer alertness to their master if within arm's reach and Joker is that so Armalad's perception is actually +22)

Perception: 29

Armalad knows where assailant 5 is (OOC2 : did you mean the square you did? How did it attack a square on the first floor from the second floor and not be in the stairwell; However she doesn't appear to have line of sight or line of effect to him so that won't do her any good however she does have Ohen's illusionary lightning bolts to light up targets)

If Armalad can't hit assailant 5 and can't perceive any of the others but she can know their square based on Ohen's illusionary targetting then Armalad will heroically cast true strike and imbue her arrow with her prepared selective shout spell. Because it was prepared with the selective metamagic feat Armalad can exclude up to 6 people from the area of effect, however, the only people caught in it's area who are her allies are Stohp, Zanderallen and Stock so those 3 are excluded from her instantaneous area of effect 30 foot cone spell centered on assailant number 4 at H12 and extending C12 - H12, D11 - H11, D10 - H10, D9 - H9, E8 - H8, F7 - H7 and H6. By my reckoning that gets 1, 2 and 4 and excludes Stock, Stohp and Zanderallen. (OOC: if there is anyone else she missed who is her ally she excludes them too)

Assailant 4: 48 vs AC and ignores miss chance due to concealment becuase true strike 7 nonlethal + 3 nonlethal shock damage

Assailant 4, Assailant 2 and Assailant 1: need to make a DC 20 Fort save or take 13 sonic damage and are deafened for 2d6=7 rounds. Success on the save means they only take 6 sonic damage and are not deafened.

Armalad points at Joker and whispers "5 foot step to the left, keep concentrating" (OOC: whispered conversation DC 25 to overhear) as Armalad takes a 5 foot step as well. Armalad is at D5, Joker is at C5 and the illusionary mist is now at C5,D5,C6,D6.

Joker remains concentrating on the illusionary smoke

Actions Summary
Heroic True Strike

Stohp hesitates. She thinks she knows where one is, but if she grapples it and other people try to stab it it'll still be invisible and might end in her getting stabbed. Then she gets an idea and goes into the workroom to see if there's any flour or something in the supplies she stored in there. She makes sure to close the door behind her, possibly locking it if it has a lock.

Zanderallen grins as the whatever it is gets a hold of him, "Alright, come here you." He slashes his sword through where he can feel the thing is, trying to pull the creature into his blade by however it has him grabbed.

I should have asked, which way does the door to the workroom open, and if on your side would you lock it or does it lock on the inside, or does it not lock at all?

Ohen flies in and casts some spells. You didn't state what 4 targets, 2, 1, and 6 are pretty obvious, but 3 and 4 are a bit hidden...so I'm choosing 4. 2 and 4 failed their saves
Bartomus steps out and see's a vague disturbance of the dust at Y5 (at least at this point, not sure where it's going to move to).
Armalad...you do make turns difficult, again there's a balcony and most of the first floor is open air to the second floor, I colored it in for you to see, since you 'do' see 5 I'm going take your shot at 4 and apply it to 5. true strike says you are not affected by the miss chance of a concealed target not an invisible target that's a 20% miss vs 30% and they are two different things. HOWEVER, I'll say it still has a 30% miss chance. Rolled 56 it hit. She targets the creature on the second floor balcony and hits. Fort save 28
Stohp goes into the workroom and locks the door.[/i]I'll say there's probably some sawdust and wood shavings on the floor? Do you guys sweep up regularly or only when a project is finished, is there a waste can there? I'll give you a 50% chance, so 50 or less, you roll.[/i]
Stock starts wailing yes the 2d6 was sneak, noted. However, you loose dex to AC because they are invisible, has nothing to do with being flanked it states in the invisible condition that you get a +2 to attack rolls and opponents loose their dex to AC. Stock hits once.
Zanderallen attacks....and misses, see below AC 23.

(OOC: Armalad's bow has the merciful enchantment which makes the damage it deals nonlethal but gives it +1d6 damage. Per the enchantment she can make it lethal with a command word by suppressing the merciful effect. Also where is the damage from the shout spell against 5? Even if it made the Fort save evasion or improved evasion only applies effects that require a Reflex save so it still should have taken half sonic damage from the spell; From the desciption in the rogue class: If she makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, she instead takes no damage; sorry I do make things so difficult)

Perception:
24 vs 4 so she knows it is as at the door
25 vs "Everyone but Stohp make a Perception Check"

Armalad sees the puff of purplish smoke and notices that number 4 is trying the door which is not good.

She shouts out to the team, "There is a puff of purple smoke at H3, whatever that means"

She says to Joker, "Stick with me"

Armalad tries to acrobatically move out of her square without provoking an AOO (20 vs Opponent's CMD) to B8

If she fails she loses the move action and receives the AOO in which case she will heroically move to B8.

From there she will use her normal action to cast glitterdust.

The spell causes a 10 foot radius burst of glitter to happen in D11, E11, D12 and E12 and number 4 needs to make a DC 18 WILL save or be blinded for 9 rounds. If the Will save is failed it can attempt another one each round while the effect lasts per the spell but regardless number 4 is outlined in sparkly dust, which it cannot remove until the effect ends and takes -40 on stealth checks.

Joker moves to B7 and concentrates on the spell moving the illusionary smoke to B7, C7, B8 and C8

Turn Summary:
Armalad
Attempted acrobatic to evade AOO 20 vs opponent's CMD and get to B8
If that failed

"Something new is here!" He then points his flail at H3. He then goes back to wailing on Thing 2.

========
Perception 35
I think even though lit that 2 would have concealment against Stock - it is not glitterdust. I'll still roll it but you can ignore if you are feeling generous.
PA1 vs 2, 75 vs concealment, hits AC30, 24 bludgeoning + 2 electricity
PA2 vs 2, 58 vs concealment, hits AC19
PA3 vs 2, 48 vs concealment, hits AC13
Clarifications:
-What shape/form/size are the things covered in glitterdust?
-Is the thing that Bamphed invisible too?
OOC - My bad, it is regular Uncanny Dodge, not Improved that allows Stock to keep his dex...
At 2nd level, a barbarian gains the ability to react to danger before her senses would normally allow her to do so. She cannot be caught flat-footed, nor does she lose her Dexterity bonus to AC if the attacker is invisible. She still loses her Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized. A barbarian with this ability can still lose her Dexterity bonus to AC if an opponent successfully uses the feint action against her.

adding in the sonic damage, it didn't register that half damage applied to the save.
The creatures attacking you are medium sized, This is the description on their monster entry: "A faint ripple in the air suggests a hazy and vaguely humanoid vapor moving with terrible swiftness."
The thing that bamfed is invisible too, the aftereffects of the spell are not.

Armalad CMB is 19, so success, good thing you moved more than 5 feet, they have step up and strike moves and casts.
Stohp moves to the purple smoke and encounters a medium sized creature, but she can't get any kind of grip on it. She does feel studded leather as her hands pass over it.
Stock swings and hits once.
Delia shoots...killing hitting once,
Zanderallen hits once.
Ohen, who posts after 4, guys please post before 4, it generally takes me 45+minutes to post combat, casts chain lighting (they all saved) and lights up their squares. (you do kill 6)

I think lighting the square at least lets you know where they are but I think since they are not outlined with glitterdust, or using true strike that the 50% miss still counts, at least arrows can be targeted at range and you don't have to make perception checks.

Armalad whispers to Joker, "Keep following me"

She takes a full round withdraw action to leave her square thus not provoking an AOO and moves to C12.

Joker follows her concentrating on the illusion so the smoke is now in B11, B12, C11, C12 with Joker in C11 and Armalad in C12

Armalad then heroically fires an arrow imbued with lightning bolt at 4, since 4 is blinded(denied Dex to AC), no longer has concealment due to glitter dust and within 30 feet Armalad's arrow should do sneak attack damage as well.

22 vs 4's AC at –2 penalty to Armor Class and without its Dexterity bonus to AC (if any) since it is blinded so I think that hits. for 1d8 (5) + 1d6 (1) + 1d6 shock (5) + 3 + 4d6 sneak attack (9) = 23 nonlethal and a lightning bolt in a line that stretches from E12 to E11 to D11 to D10 to D9 to C9 to C8 to B8 to B7 to B6 and should strike the wall at A6 dealing 26 lethal shock damage to 4, 1 and the wall. This can be reduced to 13 shock damage with a successful DC 19 reflex save. Additionally the bolt sets fire to combustibles and damages objects in its path. It can melt metals with a low melting point, such as lead, gold, copper, silver, or bronze so I don't know if this means that the wall is potentially on fire at A6

Stohp fails to grab the invisible creature (49 vs concealment). Drezz's shouting should indicate to the people on the other side of the wall that help is needed so she moves to the door to unlock it (it was never established what kind of lock, can she unlock with a move action if it's a bolt or something?)

Zanderallen hears the yelling from inside the safe room and immediately disengages from his attacker, barely keeping his shield up to guard against an attack of opportunity. "Guard the door." He moves around the creature in front of the door and bursts through, hoping Stohp has unlocked it (I would think it's a simple bolt on the inside, only heavy locks would be the front door and sewer door.) He moves alongside Drezz and taking a quick look at his wound lays a hand on it to stop the bleeding.

Bartomus hustles down the stairs. I got 5 more feet out of it
Armalad moves and fires and arrow with lighting bolt, 1 I'm not sure how you are stretching the lighting bolt away from where the arrow hit, the lightning bolt spell specifies that it starts at your finger tips and goes forward, I'd think the bolt then should go forward from the point of the arrow, or from the bow. 2nd I disagree with your plot path trying to include thug 2. I've put in yellow the plot path for your postscrbed initial flight path, as you plot through the D column 3 times instead of 2 like every other column. Which is better as then it hits the stone fireplace with more hardness and hitpoints and stops the lighting bolt from carrying through the wall into the next building and then the streets beyond, lighting bolts have 120 foot length. hitting #4.
Stohp since you attempted to grab the guy and failed that would be an attack action? Hmm, opening an unlocked door is a move action, I agree I think it's just a pull bolt type thing, so I'll give you the unlock as a move action and I think it's in reach for you. So the door is unlocked.
Stock kills his opponent and moves to the door. Provoking an AOO from the wildly flailing thing 4, but has a 50% miss chance since thing 4 is blind.
Zanderallen ignores his opponent and burst through the workroom door and lays hands on Drezz, provoking AOO from 1 and 4 since 4 is flailing around but blind and they have combat reflexes.
Delia decides 4 has got to go (Flat footed AC is 17) three shots hit killing it.
Ohen ?

To hit 25 (d20+19) miss

3 goes after Delia (3 is invisible now, with Ohen being distracted and not posting)

Bartomus made it down the stairs and then watch the most bizarre grappling with Ohen taking place right in front of him. He didn't like the risk, but there really wasn't a better option. He stabbed forward with his glave at Ohen's attacker.

(OOC: So since Armalad is right next to invisible guy #1 I take it she can use a move action to get one of her 1 pound flour sacks from her sack and then an improvised weapon attack vs touch with 50% miss chance to coat the assailant in flour?)

Since the glitterdust worked so well at getting rid of assailant number 4, Armalad attempts to do the next best thing using mundane means and uses a move action to retrieve one of her 1 pound sacks of flour from her haversack and an attack action with an improvised weapon (-4 to hit) vs #1's touch with the 50% miss chance from total concealment to try to coat #1 in flour.

7 natural 1 vs touch = failure; I'm guessing this means Armalad is coated in flour instead since it was a natural 1?

With Zander here tying up the enemy briefly and keeping Drezz alive Stohp looks for a sack of flor or something she can use to reveal the invisible guy. If it's in reach she'll grab it and hurl it to the floor where she thinks the enemy is - even if she doesn't hit him it should get everywhere and possibly reveal him.

As the assailant taunts him and misses Drezz he focuses his will and begins an incantation, presenting the holy symbol on his shield. He holds the final release of energy until he can target the enemy in the workshop. When he gets the chance he heroically releases a burst of energy, focusing on the illusion cloaking the assassin.

Delia frowns at being slapped by very dense air, but maneuvers out of its grip. She watches for the tiny eddies and whispers of wind that give away its position and takes aim, knowing she's opening herself up for an attack but counting on the fact that she's going to give better than she gets.

Bartomus attacks the invisible opponent on Ohen (rolling your miss chance = 85 you hit) and is satisfied.
Armalad feels the flour sack slipping through her fingers as it falls to the ground in front of her.
Stohp looks around but this being the workroom there's no flour, there's a small trash can with some swept up sawdust and wood bits in it.
Stock flails dramatically with his flail, but manages to hit nothing but air (which is ironic as these things are a type of air elemental).
Zanderallen prepares a spell and has it ready.
Delia decides to fire, which does provoke, she takes a hit and kills her first opponent, she shoots another air disturbance and manages to hit it.
Ohen breaths some fire (reflex 22)

The mysterious invisible creature in the workroom...."Let's try this." You hear the whisper of steel on leather and identify it as something being unsheathed.
He attacks and a knife appears in Drezz's body, Drezz 27 (d20+17) damage 5 (1d4+3) and since he's invisible sneak damage 19(7d6) poison save for Drezz. (Fort save 14 for 2 rounds)

Armalad uses another move action to get another 1 pound bag of flour and then attempts to hit 1 with the bag of flour so the flour spills out and hopefully spoils its advantage so that Delia, Stock or even herself could take him out.

15 vs #1's touch; 69 vs 50% = pass so hopefully if that hits it becomes coated in flour.

Stohp though she had stored the food supplies here earlier. Why she had done so is uncertain now that she though of that. Still with no other really good option she tries to grab the invisible man again and misses (23 vs concealment)

Zanderallen swears as he has no means to target his spell and let's it drop. "Stay with me Drezz!" He moves to plant himself between Drezz and the invisible attacker, giving Drezz as much cover as possible. He then focuses his healing powers on the wound.

Move to I 7/8 and Melee role of 23; yet 15% on d100 so a miss

Ohen will attempt to escape the grapple by dimension dooring into the workroom to help Drezz. I believe the door is still open? To E13. I think the concentration check required is 10 + 23 + 4 = 37. I automatically cast defensively if that's also required.
28 failed.
Ohen will attempt to heroically run away.
33 still failed.
Ohen will attempt to quickened blind the thing grappling him.

Delia fires several arrows at the creature trying to abduct Ohen, and hits once.
Stock flails and connects once.
Armalad tries to throw some flour, unfortunately it just misses (Touch AC is 16).
Stohp (I forgot the stored food, but then it was prepared food, not the 'raw' materials so bread not flour) tries to grab the invisible man but he seems to be not quite where she thought.
Zanderallen (take back the hero point you spent on your disspell magic, tragically it would not have worked anyway, your opponent has managed to make his invisibility natural) falls back and heals Drezz.
Bartomus (I think damage rounding always rounds up, but the sneak damage is not separate it is part of the total from that attack so the DR only applies once.) moves forward and tries to attack Ohen's capture.
Ohen struggles mightily to free himself but only manages to blind his opponent.

_____________

1 goes after Stock again (1 is invisible)
To hit 22(d20+19) miss
To hit 30(d20+19) hit damage 22(2d8+6) since you are immune to sneak I'm not rolling it.

5 continues to grapple Ohen, CMB 36(d20+23) since it's now blind he opts to just try to grapple/sqeaze the life from Ohen. Damage 12 (2d8+6)

The mysterious invisible creature in the workroom...."You are making the fulfillment of this contract very difficult."
He opts to spring attack on Zanderallen 22 (d20+17) miss.

Stohp moves up to F/G 13/14 so she's between the assailant and Drezz and tries to grab him again (passed vs concealment, rolled only 26) "We categorically object to contract murder." she tells the enemy.

Delia takes a deep breath, locking onto the eddies swirling around Ohen and somewhat blocked by Bart. She exhales, then holds her next as she releases, arrow plunging into the creature trying to crush the life out of her friend.
She then rotates, switching targets to the one attacking Armalad and Stock aaaaaand misses all of them.

"Ruining the days of contract killers is a particular joy of mine." With Drezz not being further injured Zander takes a moment to heal himself and bolster Drezz's defenses with some holy protection. He thinks about trying to help attack the enemy but decides he needs to run protection on Drezz and hope the others can help after they finish dealing with the other assassins.

Bartomus wields his gliave with skill and yet still misses.
Armalad again tries to flour the invisible creature somewhere in front of her but the thing is not where it should be.
Stohp moves (I think that's more than a 5 foot step and I'm not sure if part of you then passes through one of the squares he would threaten, but since I'm not sure, late because the dog pulled stitches, I'm not going to look it up) she again feels her hands scrape across him but alas misses his CMD....by 1.
Delia plants an arrow in the invisible creature holding Ohen....Ohen is free as he feels the creature slump to the ground. (Not dead, he would be but 10 of his damage is non-lethal).
Zanderallen does some healing and casting.
Ohen moves (I don't think you can get through the door without provoking from #1, I mean maybe F12 to E13, but really you'd be going diagonal through wall, ergo, you provoke, but you do get inside the room and get your spell off).
Stock ? contemplates the mystery of the flail.

The mysterious invisible creature in the workroom does a spring attack on Stohp and repositions but the magic arrow stays on him. "Hey everyone has to make a living."

Drezz tries to stay behind Zanderallen not wanting to leave the room as Stock still appears to be flailing around outside the door.

Armalad gets her next to last sack of flour from her haversack. If this one fails she needs to save the next one for whatever is in the room with Drezz and she'll need to switch to the blind flailing everyone else is doing hoping enough of the team flailing is enough to bring down the guy in front of her if it comes to it.

I mean technically she thinks the sack she dropped is still intact so if it really came down to it she could probably pick that one up and try again but one thing at a time.

13 vs touch but seeing as how that isn't going to be enough to peg the guy assuming she overcomes the concealment she makes a heroic effort post roll to bump it up to 17 however it was for naught as once again the total concealment spoils her aim.(25 vs 100 = fail)

Zanderallen takes a brief moment to check his rear and sees Stock connect with something. Getting a sense the rear is relatively safe, or at least no less safe than the front Zanderallen moves up with Stohp, directing his wrath underneath Ohen's arrow. "They always say that, and there's always so many better ways you could be using your skills."

Bartomus goes over to the prone creature, he makes sure of where it is and then just plants his glaive into it.
Armalad tosses another bag of flour, it's an underhanded toss and she realizes the sack just lands with a thud on the floor and doesn't even break open.
Stohp steps south and tries to feel the target, he must be crouching.
Stock whacks something with a very solid hit, he is rewarded by a second thump of something hitting the ground.
Zanderallen, unfortunately Stohp's movement would block your planned movement, I'm assuming you would continue around Stohp to try and block his movement. You take one swing but miss.
Delia covers a great deal of ground and enters the room.
Ohen?? I assume maintains the spell pointing out the villain.

The mysterious invisible creature in the workroom takes an appraising of the situation. HE says, "Know when to hold them know when to fold them." He tries to acrobatically move out of the room against everyone's CMD. Acrobatics 34 (d20+20), second movement roll is 27.
He goes through/by Zanderallen, north past Delia and Stohp, and around Ohen, then can't get past Stock without provoking. (just made the CMD and lands where indicated). HE double moved so he cannot attack on the way out.

Stock gets an AOO as he moves from D13 to E12. He is invisible so he still gets the 50% miss chance but everyone knows where abouts he is.

Drezz stands there with his knife out.

RAGING

Stock smells the villain closing on him and swings hard at the passing target, guided by Ohen's image. He then slides in front of it and finesses his heavy flail a bit to attempt to bring this combat to a close.

The raging part of his brain thinks maybe there was a little too much finesse there.

Ohen's sphere pops up at the arrow.

"Okay you got me. I surrender." A wickedly curved knife hits the floor as it seems to have been tossed forward a bit and then hit the inside of the colorful sphere and then falls to the ground.

Ohen can see the man holding up his hands, but he also appears a little dazed in the eyes to Ohen. No telling what he's going to do for the next 9 rounds.

Thoughts?"

Armalad recognizes Nightshade by reputation as well. She says, "Yes, this is The Float, not Dirt City where an entire House is dedicated to assassination. Why jeopardize a promising legal bounty hunting career by taking this contract. Tell us, who hired you?" (Diplomacy 11 vs DC 10 to Aid Stohp on her roll = pass so Stohp should get a +2)

Then he turns to look at the spot where the assassin has to be. "So you guys are telling me this is a naturally invisible assassin/bounty hunter? Nightshade is it? You commonly work for Rothchild? Is that how he could contract you so quickly?" Zander know he was shooting blind but worth a shot.

Ohen?
______

Can anyone other than Ohen see invisibility? I'm going to assume that Ohen would have told you the following.

Nightshade says toward Bartomus, "That's Nightshade, not Nightshard...though that's a cool name too."

Ohen reporst that Nightshade is human male, wearing studded leather armor(magical) and wielding a wickedly curved dagger(magical now on the floor at his feet) his cape is magical, and he appears to have a magical ring. His hair is a bit wild and so is his beard - probably one of the drawbacks of being invisible, how do you groom yourself? The other creatures in the other room were all Aerial Servants, a specialized form of air elemental.

Nightshade goes through a few fits but survives the confusion spell. Ohen will confirm that he is still holding out his hands, wrists crossed. "Well I cannot honestly tell you who hired me. I work through a dead drop system. There's a standard fee for political assassination, 15,000 gold. Complications add to the fee. You guys are a complication so I was paid 30,000 gold. Everything was delivered through the postal service. Whoever hired me was lucky to find me in the city. I've been splitting residence in Plateau City of late. That way I'm not technically a Float resident." sounds of something moving (Ohen will let you know he's shaking his arms in front of him. "Well do you have manacles or is it just rope? Take me to jail."

If you want to search him it's going to be a frisk roll since you can't see him.

"My bad, sorry about that. Nightshade, got it. Wait, wait, you were going to get paid 30,000 gold to take him out? Half of that because of us?" Bartomus looked completely surprised at what the man was saying . He wasn't able to see the other man, but he could hear what he was saying.

"Who might have that much gold lying about?"

Armalad goes to reclaim the 2 sacks of flour that fell and did not burst in her fight with the servant. She then hands the 3 sacks to Ohen and says, "Would we all be able to see him if you coated Nightshade in Flour? I have 3 pounds right here, otherwise I would volunteer to frisk him blind but if we have means at our dispossal to make him visible even if they are mundane should we not use them?"

If Ohen obliges by coating Nightshade in flour since the wizard can see the man then Armalad will use perception to see if Nightshade is hiding anything about his person.

She casts Toros Taur Try version first choosing Minotaur and keeps Joker at arm's length giving her a +21 on the check. (Perception: 27)

Otherwise she has to frisk him blind. (OOC: is blind frisking Perception + Dex instead of Wis?, Sleight of Hand or Normal Perception with a penalty? I'll roll a Dex based Perception, Sleight of Hand and Normal Perception and you can apply a penalty if it is the last one)

Perception (swapping Dex for Wis) : 43
Sleight of Hand : 37
Normal Perception (with some penalty DM applies because Nightshade is Invisible): 23

Stohp is disappointed but not surprised at the response. "In the circles we're dealing with? Pretty much everyone involved has that kind of cash. My worry now is that a second attempt will occur while we're taking him to jail. He can't be safely delivered without a few of us going along, but that means fewer of us here if there are some of those elementals left.

Is it possible to put him in a magical sleep or something so only one of us can drop him off safely while the rest stay on guard?"

"He magicked himself into the room didn't he? If we let him out of the bubble, what's to stop him from magicking out?"

She keeps her position by Drezz, listening and waiting for any other disturbances. (Perception 24)

"Nightshade, are you capable of removing your invisibility? I'd recommend taking off that ring and cloak if you want the inside of that sphere to stay room temperature (Bluff 43 since it's not easy for me to affect the inside of the sphere. Intimidate 27). Do you not groom yourself properly or are you constantly invisible?

"We have about ten minutes left to figure out how to detain him properly.

"Hold off on the frisking Armalad, I'd like to keep him in the sphere until we get him visible if possible."


Ohen will continue to relay what Nightshade is doing.

"An assassin of this caliber is not the type of person you can drop off at the local guardhouse. Bind him as soon as the bubble drops, that should prevent most magical trickery. Then we need to get a message to the Overlord. To send an elite squad to come collect Nightshade." Zanderallen will help provide muscle if needed to frisk and secure the prisoner. Then if no one has any magical means of sending a message he will quickly write a note and going to the street find someone he trusts to deliver it to the Overlord's palace. "Tell them it is from the Silver Shields and is URGENT."

The note will read,
Shield house attacked. Candidate unharmed. Nightshade, YES HIM, in custody. Need immediate arrest team. Signed, Z

Stock limps behind Z and reads over his shoulder. "Is he really unharmed? Drezz - are you unharmed?

I have rope if you want to tie him down..."


DM Robert - "Pretty much everyone involved has that kind of cash."

Bartomus raises a question.
Armalad is up for frisking the subject.
Stohp asks some questions.
Delia is wonders about his magical abilities.
Ohen asks some questions.
Zanderallen launches a contingency plan.
Stock checks on Drezz.

Nightshade says, "Sorry the invisibility is permanent. So yea I'm a little off on the hair cutting and stuff, I mean do you know how hard it is to find a barber that can see invisible?" He takes off his ring and cloak. The cloak is more a cape and once off him becomes bright red and gold. "Hey I said I surrender, no need for the good cop bad cop. I got money to pay for the lawyers."

Spellcraft ring 21 Highlight to display spoiler: {ring of x-ray vision = how he knew where everyone was}
Spellcraft cape 24 Highlight to display spoiler: {Cape of the Mountebank - dimension door 1/day}
Spellcraft dagger 24 Highlight to display spoiler: {Assassin's Dagger = This wicked-looking, curved +2 dagger provides a +1 bonus to the DC of a Fortitude save forced by the death attack of an assassin (Which he did not get a chance to use)}

Drezz says, "I'm fine. This one wound itches a bit but should be find by tomorrow. You guys are pretty good." He pokes his head outside the room for a minute. Then he retreats back into the room. "Sorry about the damage to your place. At least it's just windows. I guess you can board those up right?"

Zanderallen receives a feather token message before Ohen's sphere dissapates. Unit dispatched. Should be there in 15 minutes

Spellcraft: 38, 43, 34

Armalad says, "Let me take a look at those." as Nightshade removes the cloak and ring and she examines the already dropped dagger.

"Ring of x-ray vision, cloak of the mountebank and an assassin's dagger with its daily ability unused. Tell me did you have those items lying around already or were any specially purchased for this job?"

She continues being bad cop, "If you didn't want to be floured you should have thought twice before permanently turning yourself alchemically invisible and coming against the Silver Shields. Now I am going to frisk you when this sphere drops just to make sure you don't have any more goodies on you or any clues as to who you were working for. Also how do you cross the street being permanently alchemically invisible? Don't you have to worry about being run over by a cart or something constantly? If we flour you it is for your own safety as much as it is for our convenience. That is unless you have anything more to tell us or give us"

"Let's try a piece of rope." Bartomus offered up. He looked around for a piece of rope and when he found a piece that would work. He asked for some help in knowing where Nightshade's arms and hands would be. He holding both ends of the piece of rope over the man's hands, he said the words and let the rope go as he finished the snare spell.

"That might work for a bit."

Cast snare - "To escape, a trapped creature must make a DC 23 Escape Artist check or a DC 23 Strength check that is a full-round action. The snare has AC 7 and 5 hit points. A successful escape from the snare breaks the loop and ends the spell." The descriptor also indicates that the snare blends into its surroundings - so would be that make it invisible?"

Stohp lets the others deal with the prisoner. She'll instead step outside to wait for the arrest team Zander requested.

Delia gives Drezz a half-smile, "I'm sure we can tack on window repair to Zander's request to the Overlord. Should be fine."

Hawky is still on top of the building keeping watch for anything (visible) approaching.

"Nightshade - You don't know who hired you...but do you know who this is that you tried to murder? Also, when were you hired. Please be exact."

Zander sighs in relief as he reads the message from the feather token. Before Stohp goes outside to keep watch he gather everyone up and focuses his healing into a burst of positive energy, excluding Nightshade just in case it make it through the sphere. "Guards will be here soon.

"No dispel magic anywhere then? Bummer. Oh well, I'll dismiss the sphere and direct you where he is whenever you guys are ready.
"and don't think about running Nightshade, I'll turn you into a newt."
