Take Your Places! (DM Cayzle) Monday February 12th, 2007 9:41:12 PM
As evening falls, the party preps for a stakeout of the Shallowroots house. Will the disguided man, the sneaky fellow, visit the house tonite? If so, will you meet him? Or will he elude your senses. Will he see you?
The night's crescent moons cast shadows as pale clouds cross the sky. Light shines through the papered windows of the small house, so that anyone within 10 feet is not able to conceal themselves in shadows. Everywhere else, the shadows are thick, and you can hide anywhere.
The house has just two rooms on the main floor, with a rude attic above. There is an outhouse behind the main house as well. There is only one door, and it faces the road.
Friends, as we head into a potential confrontation, let me ask you to place your characters on a map. If someone dies, I don't want anyone to say they were confused about what was going on! :-)
Please post your coordinate location and also REPOST your already-rolled skill checks.
Fair Warning: If you do not make a Hide check, you are not hiding. If you do not make a Move Silent check, you are not trying to move quietly. If you do not make a Listen or Spot check, you are not listening or looking!
If you speak or cast a spell, you may be heard: The Listen DC to hear a spell or converasation is 0 with a -1 penalty for every ten feet away.
Also please post any spells prepared and/or cast. Also ACs and HPs!
Thanks!

Dwight (hp 35, ac 16) Monday February 12th, 2007 10:45:50 PM
Keeping watch during his slot, Dwight will watch the midnight visitor enter the house. He will then attempt to overhear the conversation.
Dwight will attempt to keep watch from W7 unless he sees the man enter the house. If an extra man is seen inside the house, Dwight will move 'extra slow' and quietly to the house and listen while concealed.

Selithe will try to hide in the bushes near to rhe house while waiting to see what happens (010) She does her best to stay hidden and keep her eyes and ears open for anything.

Taken up a poisition at S22, Podo does his best to blend in while trying to listen, observe what goes on around him.
Kendry (AC 15 HP 35) [Message - 1st 60 minutes of hiding... Snoozing after that?] Tuesday February 13th, 2007 1:03:06 AM
[Hide (with Airin's advice in choosing a spot): 23; Move silently: 13 (although he plans to get a spot, and not move about); Listen: 9; Roll to see how well he does staying awake: 2; Roll vs snore, DC 5: 13]
Kendry's location is probably -15 M or something - off the top of the map. If the fellow arrived in the first hour after they hid, Kendry may be awake. But if after that hour, he is snoozing. Behind some bushes closer to Bella's place.
Unless someone sneaks over to awaken him, or the neighborhood gets loud.
Airin d20+19=34 d20+12=16 d20+8=10 d20+12=27 Tuesday February 13th, 2007 6:56:35 AM
"Kendry, you'd better take position close to the road near the bush. (N11 for instance) He who wants to enter that house will probably go through the front door so he has to pass close to you."
Airin descides to take position north of the house X7. This gives her the chance to look both at the house and the toilet... you never know how or where the Sneaky Fellow will enter the house.

Hey Anthony, my friend, Please Highlight to display spoiler: {To quote my favorite Woldian Attendance Monitor, regarding the posting report, "Anthoney has to get a kick in the pants to get it done on a Wednesday." LOL! But she has a point, old buddy old pal!}

Fickle thinck that he is in a nice hiding place, "No Onze can seez me'um, good place toz watch out!" he hides and looks out and listens to any strange.
OOC: Like I said DM Cayzle, No Money!! LOL.
Tibble Tuesday February 13th, 2007 8:53:59 AM
Having no talent for hiding and spying the greenmage will remain behind.
OOC: Tibble never got a response to his earlier attemps to gather info for the group.
Kendry, adjustment Tuesday February 13th, 2007 12:33:37 PM
Kendry will compromise with Airin, hiding at F2, rather than 150' off the map to the North as earlier stated.
And as for Tibble, Kendry asks him to wait behind Bella's house - surely out of ready sight or easy hearing of the sneaky guy - but within range of the message spell.
Tobias [ AC 20 - HP 44/44; Alarm] Tuesday February 13th, 2007 6:07:26 PM
Also as everyone settles in to their hidden positions, Tobias will cast an Alarm spell (w/ mental ping) centered near the backdoor to the house -- where Dwight first saw the sneaky fellow enter. He will cast it before the stake out starts, as inconspicuously as he can, it lasts 6 hours, and the alarm bypass password for the group is "appleseed".
Tobias is at X7 (next to Dwight), and won't bring Tewdwr on this stakeout.
Rolls from last post... Hide: 37 Listen: 17 Move silently: 18 Spot: 19

Dwight Tuesday February 13th, 2007 10:55:26 PM
OOC: Thanks Julian, been sick and trying to play (see the horizon). Our state testing is around the corner, which means double duty for me as a teacher...I have to teach my 9,11,12 graders the curriculum and begin to review Alg. & Geo. with my 10th. Of course all of my classes are mixed grades so it involves double lesson plans for three different preps.
OOC: Cayzle...I'll get next Monday ontime.... *rubbing the newly form foot mark from my pants. :)
Dwight tries to remain diligent during his watch. He hopes to see whomever is on watch with him and remain in visual contact with them.

Podo tries to stay awake long enough to catch any glimpse of a sneaky fellow. In between silent snoozes, Podo tries his skills again to enhance his ability to gather info.
The Sneaky Fellow (DM Cayzle) d12=10 (direction) 4d6(3+4+1+1)=9 (distance) d20+22=37 (hide check) d20+20=33 (move silent check) d20+15=29 (SF's Spot check) d20+22=27 (another hide check) d20+20=25 (another move silent check) d20+18=26 (attack on Podo) d3+4=6 (base dam on Podo) 3d6(5+1+2)=8 (SA dam) 2d6(2+1)=3 (bane dam) Wednesday February 14th, 2007 7:43:22 AM
First, Tibble's gather info check: I can't find the first mention of Tibble's Gather Info check, or what the roll was, but I am happy to share these rumors available to anyone taking 10 on gather info rolls: (1) There is an army of undead coming to town and the militia are not able to cope with it. (2) The only reason the WLA is in town is because Calfast used tax money to buy that Fidel guy off. (3) It is all because of some wild adventurers that the town is plagued with these troubles -- crazy kids!
==========
The rest of this post is mostly in OOC mode so that you all can see how I am making it work. It's only fair, since I am trying my best to kill someone.
The Sneaky Fellow does indeed approach while you are watching. He is more likely to approach from the south. On a d12, 1=W, 2=NW, 3=N, 4=NE, 5=E, 6-7=SE, 8-10=S, 11-12=SW. The roll is a 10, so that means the Sneaky Fellow comes from the south -- right up the road.
Everyone has concealment. What is the distance at which we can start making Spot checks? The DMG suggests 3d6x10 feet in sparse forest. And 2d10x10 feet in hills. There are houses, fences, outbuildings, and trees all over. My judgement call is 4d6x10 feet. The roll is a 9, so spot checks can be made at 90 feet distance, probably as he turns the corner to walk up Bella's lane.
Listen checks can be made at any distance, but the DC goes up by 1 for every 10 feet of distance. Let's make Listen checks at 100 feet (+10 on the DC) and 50 feet (+5 on the DC).
So let's start at 100 feet with Listen checks. The Sneaky Fellow has the following modifiers: Move Silent +20; Hide +22; Spot +15; Listen +12.
He is at M39, 90 feet south of Podo, 95 feet from Julian, 95 from Shark. But is he detected? His Move Silent check is a 33; His Hide check is a 37. The people who can potentially sense him are Podo, Julian, Shark, Fickle, and Selithe. Kendry is dozing, Airin, Dwight, and Tobias are behind the building -- they do not have line of sight.
Podo, Julian, Shark, Fickle, and Selithe could spot him, if they beat his hide check of 37. But no one does! He is unseen, so far at least.
How about hearing? The Listen DC to do it is 33 plus distance penalties. Once again, no one comes close! So far, the sneaky fellow is both unseen and unheard.
But does he see or hear the party?
Let's cope with seeing first. He can potentially see Podo, Julian, Shark, Fickle, and Selithe. The Sneaky Fellow's Spot check is a 29! He rolled quite well with a 19! His 29 is enough to let him see all five of the people in his line of sight.
No need to bother about Listen checks, since his keen eyes have made his ears moot.
So the Sneaky Fellow rounds the corner of the lane and sees a number of party members hiding in wait. What does he do? He moves forward at half speed. In one rounds he creeps 40 feet north. As he moves, he loads his sling. In another round he creeps 20 more feet north, and he reaches into his pocket for something. It is a small light-proof box. He has a loaded sling in one hand and the box in the other; a buckler is on the box-arm.
At this point let's give the Sneaky Fellow another set of move and hide checks. This time his luck is much worse! His Hide check is 27, his Move Silent is 25! But his Hide check is still good enough to beat all the PCs. Dwight and Airin might have heard him, but with the distance modifier, nope.
At this point the Sneaky Fellow is 15 feet away from Podo. He has been studying him closely for at least three rounds. It is time for him to make his move. First, he wants to make a sneak attack! But everyone has concealment, and you cannot sneak attack someone who has concealment. What to do? The Sneaky Fellow has an answer. He uses a move action to open his lightproof box! The Continual Flame within suddenly illuminates everything within 20 feet! The Sneaky Fellow is clearly illuminated! So is Podo! Poor Podo!
With his standard action, the Sneaky Fellow slings a deadly bullet right at Podo's head!
The Sneaky Fellow has a +4 BAB, a +4 Dex, +1 size, +1 race with slings, +1 Weapon Focus Feat, +1 Point Blank Shot Feat, +3 enhancement bonus using a +1 Halfling Bane bullet, and a +3 bonus from a class ability. Whew! All told, the Sneaky Fellow has a +18 to hit. And Podo, being flat-footed, gets no Dex bonus to AC.
The Sneaky Fellow rolls to hit AC26 -- plenty good enough to hit Podo. Poor Podo.
This is a Death Attack. Podo must make a Fort save vs DC14. If he fails, he is dead! NOTE WELL: Podo. if you fail the roll, you can use a hero point to reroll. If you have more than one hero point, then each extra hero point spent gives a +2 on the reroll. Good Luck!
Even if Podo saves and is NOT slain, the sneak attack does some damage all on its own. Podo takes 6 hp base damage, 8 hp sneak attack damage, and 3 hp bane damage ... 17 hp in total.
The turn is over. Everyone is awake and aware of the Sneaky Fellow. He is standing in the center of a Continual Flame spell. He is a nondescript halfling with a bushy beard and brown hair. He is wearing a grey cloak and grey boots. He has a buckler and a sling.
Podo Danderfluff Pipewood [AC:23|HP:20] d20+8=20 d20+11=13 d6=1 Wednesday February 14th, 2007 3:15:11 PM
Podo stunned for just a moment(Fortitude save DC:20), closes the gap between himself and his asailent moving from S22 to R24. If in a position to also make an attack, will do subdual damage using his unarmed strikes.
Attack Unarmed strike: 20 Subdual-Damage: 1
Fickle d20+2=20 d20=17 Wednesday February 14th, 2007 5:42:06 PM
Fickle is playing Spider on Mirror, When he hears Something like somebody is being hit. So he moves (from N/8 to R/11) he sees Podo get hit. "HEY! Yuze! Haults!!"
Fickl goe into his pocket and is ready to fling ti at the Sneky Fellow.
Listens - 20 Spot - 17
Tibble Wednesday February 14th, 2007 5:48:36 PM
While the group is busy spying on the spy Tibble will load up Harry with Bella's potions and head off for the waiting wizard's place.
When it comes time to rest the greenmage shall transform into a tree to hide and keep the potions safe. Harry will sleep on the ground nearby.
Cayzle to Podo Wednesday February 14th, 2007 8:05:51 PM
You should have three first level spells prepped -- a first level spell, a wisdom bonus spell, and a domain spell. Unless your Wisdom is an 11? I don't think so.
Julian [AC 12, hp 45], Shark [AC 16, hp 22] Charging, enraged. d20+12=30 d10+8=12 d20+4=7 Wednesday February 14th, 2007 9:20:36 PM
Julian gets pretty mad when someone tries to attack a friend like that.
"You're going to Gargul for that!"
Julian Charges his foe. His pupils are fully dilated as he attempts to behead the halfling. Shark is right behind him, not yet clawing the Sneak's leg. [Q23]
OOC: I count 12 squares to get to Q24 to attack. Julian didn't put his armour on for this, but did bring "EagerTooth" the greatsword, which he had downsized at the Catacombs.
Attack 30 "Yeargghhhhh!" Damage 12 The sword bites deep, but the head stays on it would seem. How disappointing.
Dwight (hp 35 ac 16) d20+9=23 d20+4=16 d20+9=24 Wednesday February 14th, 2007 9:45:29 PM
Dwight is amazed that someone managed to sneak up on the entire group and wishes this stake out had been better planned. It takes him a moment to centralize where the noise is coming from.
Dwight makes for P12 this round and readies his bow. With the sound of combat he hopes his noise will not be the focus on someone else's attenion. He watches both the illuminated area (sneaky person and Podo) and the Shallowroot house.
OOC: I think moving to P12 is about all I can do this round.
Hide in shadows: 23 (at P12) Spot: 16 (any new movement in house?) Listen: 24 (noise from the house?)
Selithe-AC:20-HP:39 Wednesday February 14th, 2007 9:54:29 PM
Selithe unsure what to do first quickly thinks and reacts out of instinct more then anything she quickly pulls her bow and a arrow, readying them to fire.
(Don't think she can ready and fire a bow in the same round, if I'm wrong then please let me know.)
Kendry (AC 15 HP 35) [Message: 5 rounds left] [Expeditious Retreat: 60 rounds] Thursday February 15th, 2007 3:57:27 AM
Kendry was just settling down to sleep - easing into the early stages of a pleasant dream - when he hears, more than anything else, Julian's explosive shout. Thinking he may need to be able to move quickly, he casts expeditious retreat, then looks around the side of the bush (stepping to D4). A fellow, awash in light, battles Podo and Julian. He readies his bow.
Airin d20+9=23 d20+8=26 d8=6 d6=5 Thursday February 15th, 2007 6:28:56 AM
Airin is mortified realising she failed to hold a simple stake out with succes! But all she hears is the noise of someone's nose getting wacked. She has not yet laid eyes on the Sneaky One.
Now what?!? Those inside the house might come to help this man and those on the other side might need a hand!
Airin descides to taker her chances and holding her crossbow she husstles (speedx2) south. Scirting the edge of the illuminated patch around the house to AD15. This is within her husteling distance and within shooting range of the Sneaky One and within shooting range of the house should anyone come from that place. It should also provide Airin with a clear line of sight.
No way of hiding nor walking silently.
Airin checks her target, aims and fires!
spot: 26 - good enough as he's inside an illuminated area. When being inside an illuminated area it becomes much harder to see beyond the light into the darkness. Airin hopes this will help her not getting noticed by the sneaky fellow.
Crossbow hit AC23 Damage: 5Hp (please ignore the d8 - took medium size damage first) No sneak attack as the distance is too far.
Cayzle Thursday February 15th, 2007 7:04:43 AM
Selithe, you can defintely draw your bow and fire an arrow this round. Go ahead and do so!

Tobias [ AC 20 - HP 44/44; Alarm] Thursday February 15th, 2007 11:06:34 AM
Hearing the commotion and Julian's battle cry, Tobias moves with all haste towards the southern part of the house. He double moves there (to Y16), drawing both of his short swords. And, he peeks around to side of the house to see what is going on...
Fickle Thursday February 15th, 2007 11:12:50 AM
Fickle advances a little bit more, "Hey! Uze! Hear Me'um??" If he does not get an answer, he'll toss a rock at the sneeky one.
OOC: the wold sight is very slow!!!

Dwight takes the moment at it draws in slow motion to count his friends and their location and the potential for someone to slip out of the house.
Podo Danderfluff Pipewood [AC:23|HP:20] Thursday February 15th, 2007 9:16:07 PM

Selithe-AC:20-HP:39 d20+9=25 d4+1=3 Thursday February 15th, 2007 10:24:15 PM
Selithe lets her arrow fly at the man who attacks Podo and watches it move through the air in a nice shot.
(Can hit AC:25 Damage:3)
That Sneaky Fellow, Round 2 (DM Cayzle) d20+12=13 (nat 1 on tumble) Thursday February 15th, 2007 10:31:25 PM
Podo, still alive after the sneak attack, moves to punch out the miscreant. He hits AC13 (Not 20, see your dice rolls) and misses.
Fickle moves to get a better line of sight and gets ready to throw something.
Julian charges 60 feet. Let's spell that out step by step. A Charge has to be in a straight line, so the path is pretty much set in stone. Julian travels to G22 (first hypotenuse = 5), H22 (5), I22 (5), J23 (second hypotenuse = 10), K23 (5), L23 (5), M24 (third hypotenuse = 5), N24 (5), O24 (5), P24 (5). Finally he charges into P24 -- that's 60 feet -- just enough to get in a blow!
Julian raises his ax and brings it down! He hits the Sneaky Fellow for 12 points of damage.
Selithe shoots and hits for 3.
Kendry steps up and readies an arrow.
Airin steps forward and and readies an arrow or two. (She ran too far to be able to fire too.)
Tobias moves to Y16 and draws his weapons.
The Sneaky Fellow is AC20 and has taken 15 hp damage.
Then it is the Sneaky Fellow's turn. He drops his light box (a free action), saying "Eat my exploding box, you dummies!" as he drops it.
He tries to tumble backwards out of reach, but he rolls a nat one on the tumble check! Bad luck for him! That means that both Julian and Podo may take an AoO vs the Sneaky Fellow's AC20 as he backs away.
If he survives, the Sneaky fellow moves to 28R. And as he moves he pulls a potion vial out of a pocket. When he gets to that square, he drinks the potion ad disappears from sight.
New map in the morning maybe. Take a look at yesterday's.
Podo Danderfluff Pipewood [AC:23|HP:20] d20+9=24 d6+2=5 Friday February 16th, 2007 12:58:26 AM

Julian's AoO: AC 22, damage 13.
Julian runs to where the spy went, attempting to tackle him - arms wide, leg sweep low [13+?? to grapple].
[Spot check: 11+??. Saving throw vs exploding box: 16+??]
[Could I get Julian's CS?]
Fickle d20+6=21 d3+3=6 Friday February 16th, 2007 4:41:08 AM

Fickle scratches his head, asking "Where he'zm GO??"
DM Cayzle Extra -- Attacks of Opportunity! 3d6(3+5+3)=11 2d8(2+3)=5 +6 +6 +3 = 31 hp d20+3=13 Friday February 16th, 2007 6:01:40 AM
Some clarifications.
The Sneaky Fellow has 31 hit points. He has lost 15 already. Then Podo hits AC24 for 5 more -- and that's a stunning attack. The Sneaky Fellow rolls his save: a 13! He fails! He is stunned!
Julian rolls his attack of opportunity and connects for 13 more hp damage! The Sneaky Fellow has taken 28 points of lethal damage and 5 points of nonlethal damage! That means he falls to the ground, knocked out cold! He has NOT stepped back, and he has NOT taken out his potion or drunk from it!
Of course, I expect you pros to role play that you do NOT know that he has a potion (you'll find it if you search him), and you do not know what that potion does!
Congratulations! You have captured a Sneaky Fellow!
Airin d20+10=30 d20+8=9 Friday February 16th, 2007 8:40:48 AM
Airin comes around the corner of the house ready to shoot the Sneaky Fellow when she sees him collapsing to his knees... soo soon! She did not even get there on time to help!! Wow!
Airin gathers next to the passed out Sneaky Fellow and waits. If no one else does, she kneels besides him takes out a rope and ties his hands behind his back and feet. No matter if he's unconscious.
use rope: 30 - Nat 20!
Then she slowly begins to search this guy. Most of all she likes to find out who this man is and where he comes from... but they will have to get a word with the Shallowroots too!
search: 9 - nat 1 - LOL!
"There's nothing on him" Airin says to her friends "No weapons, no gold, no nothing... too bad"
Tobias [ AC 20 - HP 44/44; Alarm] d20+1=13 Friday February 16th, 2007 11:00:41 AM
Tobias moves up to the group forming around the sneaky fellow. And, seeing Airin miss a couple of obvious hiding spots, does a little searching of his own...
He notices the sneaky fellow is still alive and says, "Wow, Julian, that's the first one we've seen you capture alive..."

OOC: Not sure if you saw Dwight's movement last round to P12.
Seeing the fellow fall and Airin take care of securing the sneak, Dwight remains hiding and continues his vigilance on the house.
Realizing everyone (OOC: I think) is near the sneaky fellow, and no one is watching the rear of the house, Dwight returns to his previous hiding spot. (He will move at half-speed to maintain his coverage).

Seeing the sneaky fellow collaspe...and then seeing his fellow companions descend upon him, Podo will search the Sneaky Fellow himself; jsut to be on the safe side. His gut feeling say that there is more here then mights the eye! Taking his time to do a thorough search (DC:11), Podo tries his best to find something valuable. "I wonder what happened to his exploding box?" thinks Podo aloud.
While searching, Podo listens to the fellow to detect if anything makes a noise while searching him (DC:15) and then attempts to spot anything out of the ordinary (DC:27).
To reassure the tied bonds on the sneaky fellow are secure, Podo will check them and tighten any that need tightening (DC: 12).

Kendry d20+3=4 d20+6=11 d20+3=11 Saturday February 17th, 2007 12:02:28 AM
Kendry looks about and listens, to see if tonight's shenanigans may have drawn the interest of any neighbors. Unless it bites him on the nose, he doesn't yet notice anything (spot 4, nat 1). If there's a fair hubbub, he might be able to hear it (listen 11).
He stows his arrow, slings bow over his shoulder and comes up to the site. He looks at the lighted box. He softly sings the little spell that allows him to detect magic, and examines the box with that. If it appears reasonably safe (wisdom check: 11), he picks it up, and walks over to the downed fellow. Still concentrating on discerning magic, he lets the spell's effects cover the fellow. If any emanations come from face, clothing, pockets, or what have you, he searches in the area wherein he detects the magic. He quietly speaks what he senses and where so that his friends will be alerted to his discoveries.
He takes an empty bag from his haversack and fashions a gag for the captured halfling.
If it appears the spy will survive for the moment, and after this initial examination, he says, "Let's take him to his intended destination." He speaks to Julian. "Can you toss him over your shoulder?"
As they approach the door of the Shallowroots, Kendry says to Podo, "Nice punch."
Should Dwight come near he whispers, 'Does this look like the fellow you saw the other day?'
Pulling a copper piece from a pouch, Kendry casts detect thoughts, and focuses on any mental activity on the other side of the Shallowroots' door.
Kim - Hero point nomination for Podo Saturday February 17th, 2007 12:10:45 AM
I nominate Podo for one hero point. He struck out for non-lethal damage against a fellow halfling who just tried to kill him, and managed to stun him during an attack of opportunity. Rather than killing him, Alemi-following Podo (with help from his friends) managed to knock him out - and Mister Sneaky likely will be far more valuable to us alive than otherwise. Julian contributed mightily to this small victory, and Selithe added to the effect with her timely arrow.
Julian Saturday February 17th, 2007 12:24:12 AM
"Sure can Kendry, plenty o' strength to spare after that little encounter." Julian heaves him up and over his shoulder to take him into the house.
OOC, thanks for covering for me.
Fickle Saturday February 17th, 2007 6:48:26 AM
OCC: To Dwight; Fickle was living by himself for so long, That he does not know a Flattery fomr an Insulte.
Besides If Dwight is gruff in character, like he is! He'll Take it as Flattery.
Fickle advances to where the Sneeky Fellow body, takes a look at him , then ask "Who'zm Him??"
Sneaky Fellow, Sneaky Gear (DM Cayzle) Saturday February 17th, 2007 8:35:20 AM
Airin binds the Sneaky Fellow really well! Podo helps with that. Kendry gags him.
Airin, Podo, and Tobias quickly search the fellow. Kendry casts Detect Magic. You discover the following on him:
Podo and Kendry find that the so-called exploding box is a light-proof box with a continual flame cast inside it. Evidently the "exploding" claim was a lie to distract you.
Fickle wonders who this guy is.
Julian gets ready to carry him.
Cayzle to Tibble ... Please Highlight to display spoiler: {Tibble, let me understand you correctly. You took Bella's potions and headed off across the Valley at night? Without waiting for the other characters? Why go on your own? With assassins around, is that safe? Why not wait for the rest of the party? Did you leave a note or other word of what you were doing? E-mail me at cayzle@cayzle.com if you want to talk.}
Kendry thinks about casting Read Thoughts, and the party is about to go over to the house, when the door opens and Ada Shallowroot steps out. He has a cudgel in one hand.
"Hey there! Who is that? What's going on?"
Kendry (AC 15 HP 35) [Expeditious Retreat: 54 rounds (Move: 50); Alter Self 599 rounds] d20+11=26 d20+7=19 d2+2=4 Saturday February 17th, 2007 11:22:17 AM
Using his friends' bodies as a shield twixt him and Ada Shallowroot, Kendry quickly casts alter self, and transforms his visage and body into that of a halfling who looks like a male version of Bella. Similar features and such. Stepping out from behind them, he walks forward with a gait similar to hers, as well. Based on his familiarity with Bella's speech patterns he models his intonation and phrasing after her - albeit with a male voice. "There's a problem here. Can you help us? Things may go well for you if you choose that path."
He waves his friends forward. "This fool," and he points to the crumpled halfling, "may need a healing hand. Let us come in and attend to his needs." He comes directly up to Ada - not threatening him physically, but also showing that he is not intimidated by the cudgel. "There's gold in it for you."
[Diplomacy: 26]
Should Ada swing the weapon, Kendry is ready to duck (readied action, so as not to be caught flat-footed), then come up with a punch to the jaw [Hit AC 19, 4 hp non-lethal damage].
Podo Danderfluff Pipewood [AC:23|HP:20] 2d8(5+5)+2=12 Saturday February 17th, 2007 1:48:14 PM Hrm...I can't believe that we haven't stripped this person of his magic items yet! What are we thinking?? thinks Podo to himself.
Podo sets about to strip all the magic items from this bounded and gagged Sneak.
First go the Boots, then the Hat, next go the Gloves, then his Goggles lastly Podo unhitches his Cloak. Once the stuff is in a pile, Podo dumps them all into his Handy Haversack for distribution later when it is safe to do so.
The potions he hands off to Airin, and the Magic Bullets he hands to whomever uses a Sling.
Podo continues to explain in a whispering tone, "When all is clear and we are in a safer place, distribution will commence with the magic items. As for the other items still left on the Sneak's person, we will address that later after the ShallowRoots Family matter has been resolved to our group's satisfaction," explains Podo to his close by companions.
Soon after his speech, Podo repositions his gear on himself and then sets to cast Cure Light Wounds upon himself for 12 points reclaimed.
Recovered Hits points: 12 Total points: 32/35
Julian Saturday February 17th, 2007 7:28:04 PM
Julian is frustrated at this Shallowroots fellow, and is still raging. He helps Podo strip the good things from the body then hauls his body up onto his shoulder.
He sighs audibly as Kendry begins speaking in his disguise. He decides to not let his rage slip yet.
Julian mumbles under his breath, "Don't give away all the magic items again..."
Fickle Sunday February 18th, 2007 6:01:43 AM
Fickle look at the sling and the little stones (Bukkets), "Me'um like little stones!" he tell the group before giving them up to Arian.
Airin Sunday February 18th, 2007 7:37:10 AM
Airin turns deep red when she sees all the magic things her friends recover from Sneak. Her skills have really rusted!! Hopefully she'll get the hang of it soon.
She accepts the potions Podo hands her and stores them in her own handy haversac for identification later on. They'll need to examine those other things too. Could be some fine stuff in there!!
Then she looks at Ada wondering if he will scream, run or attack...
Tibble Sunday February 18th, 2007 12:58:27 PM
As it seems I'm simply going to be ignored I'll withdraw gracefully.
Dru ----------- [Dru - see my email! -Kim]
Fickle Monday February 19th, 2007 7:45:05 AM
Fickle spins the sling with a stone in it, He is smiling as he does so. "Weeee! Look! Hoz it Goze! Weee!" He's starting to lose the straps on the sling.
Tobias [ AC 20 - HP 44/44; Alarm] Monday February 19th, 2007 10:21:28 AM
Tobias moves in support of Kendry and gets closer to him... keeping his swords at his sides until he sees how Ada Shallowroot responds to Kendry.

Dwight hearing Kendry's concern about the sneaky fellow responds in a whisper. "Can't say for sure, I'm too far away. Perhaps in a bit I'll examine more closely."

(OOC: Thanks for the Kind words Kim. And I'm back everyone after a long and scary ride.)
Selithe holds her bow and waits to see what happens now, if needed she will help strip the sneaky fellow of his stuff as she refuses to let the man leave with it, let alone keep it on to possibly help him escape.

OOC, wonder if Cayzle's okay...
Fickle Tuesday February 20th, 2007 6:14:27 AM

Not to worry Gang! Cayzle usaly has his hands full.

If you are thieves ... (DM Cayzle) Tuesday February 20th, 2007 7:29:18 AM
[OOC: Cayzle to Tibble: I gave you a private message on Saturday, and you have not replied! I'll repost below this post to make sure you see it.]
[OOC: Thanks for your patience, everybody!]
Kendry dons a quick surprise. Please roll a hide check to duck behind your friends and a disguise check to see how effective your foolery might be (spell gives a +10 to checks).
Kendry draws Ada's attention to the prone, hogtied, and gagged halfling on the ground.
As he does so, Podo finishes the job of grabbing the valuables. Then he cures himself [OOC note -- Please Highlight to display spoiler: { You rolled 2d8 instead of 1d8. Since combat hereforth is very unlikely it is no matter, but be careful next time please.}]
Julian helps stow the loot and hopes that Kendry will not give the good stuff away.
Fickle covets the magic bullets. He gets ready to fire a missile if things go badly.
Airin puts away the potions and hopes the negotiations go well.
Tobias is also ready for action, if need be.
Dwight remains cautious and alert. He sees no sign of danger.
Ada scowls and sees the weapons readied against him. He sets down his weapon and holds his hands up in the air.
Kendry then speaks, and walks closer. He says "Can you help us? Things may go well for you if you choose that path." He calls the bound halfling a "fool."
Ada says, "If I don't do what you want, things won't go well for me? Is that a threat?"
"Look!" the halfling says, "I want no trouble. That's my nephew you got tied up there. Don't know why you tied him up. But there's no reason to get all weapony and slingy."
He sees that you are dividing his gear. "But why are you taking his stuff? If you are thieves, you'll probably kill me, but ... but ... "
He gets a really scared look! He dashes inside and slams the door. You hear a bolt being drawn. A small child starts to cry inside and is hushed.
Your actions?

[Hide: 25; Disguise: 35; Put foot in doorway before door closes check: 14]
As Ada moves to shut the door, Kendry moves to stop the door with his foot [14].
If he succeeds, he says, "Nope, we'll not kill you. We don't plan to kill anyone here - we are not murderers. He attacked us. We aim to heal him. We are here to prevent others from dying.
"And, if you'll cooperate, you will receive gold."
If he does not succeed in stopping the door before it closes tight, he casts detect thoughts. He concentrates on thoughts of those just beyond the door. He is sorry the child is crying, and knows there is fear inside... but the child's parents are not good neighbors -- and are tools being used to subvert Bella's good works.
Airin Tuesday February 20th, 2007 10:16:14 AM
Airin chuckles as it seems they should have talked first. A common mistake :-)
She stands up, straightens her clothes, puts her crossbow back on her back and pulls the Sneak up to his feet. Not yet untieing him though.
Tobias Tuesday February 20th, 2007 11:25:05 AM
"Airin, why talk first when we can talk second? And, I think he'll be a little more inclined to respond now..."
If Kendry cannot stop him from closing the door, Tobias will look for another way in... an open window perhaps.
Selithe Tuesday February 20th, 2007 9:22:56 PM
Selithe frowns at all this and shakes her head before coming forward, "Now listen here mister. We had reasons to be out here of our own and this guy attacked and tried to kill us. If he or your not guilty of something then you'll come out or we can report all of this to the proper authorities and then you'll have more then just us breathing down your neck. An we stripped him for our own good." Selithe waits and puts her bow up, "We want no problems or to cause any but I for one take attacks on me or my friends and family serious." Yep, Selithe might not be a red head but she has a temper when it comes down to it.

"Peace and Love to you my Brother", says Podo to Ada. "I'm afriad that what my friends have said is true. This person here has attacked me with a sling, nearly killing me in the process! Since you house is near by we tried to seek aid for both myself and for him. He is alive because I chose to do so, it is against my belief and that of both Alemi & Domi to have killed him. He may still turn from his killing ways and serve the greater good, my Brother." explains Podo to Ada.
Podo awaits his reply to his statements hoping to detect by listening his motive for his recent actions as well as trying to gather information about what might be happening.

Julian Tuesday February 20th, 2007 11:25:56 PM
"This should get some laughs," Julian says just loud enough for his friends nearby to hear.
He rushes up to the house screaming, "That's it! I'm gonna kill him too!!" He then shakes some windows or rattles some doors, but not so as to break in. All the way he looks back to the others with a big grin on his face.
Kendry Wednesday February 21st, 2007 12:04:21 AM
Kendry glances over at Julian with a look that could kill, if looks could kill.
Julian could earn them all jail time. "That is not what we are doing," he says to Julian, who was supposed to have the sneaky fellow over his shoulder. "Go sit down."
Fickle Wednesday February 21st, 2007 6:10:52 AM
Fickle watches Julian go through his action of rattling the windows and doors. He scratches his head, then ask "What-zm Youze doing?? Ism it'z make'm her-z scared? Thats not nice??" He tell Julian.
The Cowering Commoner (DM Cayzle) Wednesday February 21st, 2007 1:33:15 PM
Kendry sticks his foot in the door just in time. Ada jumps back, eyes wide and mouth gaping.
Airin take charge of the prisoner, who is still unconscious.
Tobias moves closer, up to the house. The windows are holes covered in paper. It would be easy to break through one.
Selithe follows Kendry and speaks to Ada as well. Her anger is clear in her tone. She says that the prisoner attacked the group.
Podo follows up, agreeing with Selithe. He testifies to the attack, since it was he who almost died. Podo can tell that the halfling is nervous and very scared.
Julian adds a touch of chaos to the scene, rattling a window and shouting about killing! The baby's screams are joined by the wife's, and Ada seems about to cry.
Fickle has doubts about Julian's preferred mode of expression.
Ada simply cowers, and mutters that maybe his nephew thought the group was going to ambush them.
OOC: Friends, let's move things along. What are you planning to do with your prisoner? With the Shallowroots, who are pretty cowed? The night is passing.
==========
Tibble, Please Highlight to display spoiler: {Tibble expresses his opinion by heading out to deliver Bella's medicines himself. He leaves a note in a flowing hand for the party to find:
Sorry to start without you. Didn't want to extend the suffering of others any longer that necessary. As I shall be traveling cross-country, tracking me shall be nigh impossible. Harry Barqr shall 'mark' the trail for those with a 'nose' for tracking. Alternately, we can regroup at the wizard's once you spy out your sneak should your diversion prove extended. I shall council with the wizard about the necromancer until your arrival. Signed: Tibble Stinkyfoots.
He finds the walk west to be easy, as he would expect in civilized lands. It might take another day to get to the town that was mentioned in Bella's note. As evening falls, what preparations does Tibble make for the night?}
Tobias Wednesday February 21st, 2007 1:59:58 PM
Hearing Ada and his family's reaction, Tobias tries to calm and restrain Julian a bit, so that he doesn't completely panic them. "Shhh, Julian. There's no need to frighten them all to death."
Tobias waits to see the exchange between Kendry and Ada before attempting another way into the house.
Kendry as someone who looks kind of like Bella d8+1=8 d20+4=10 d20+4=24 Wednesday February 21st, 2007 4:26:53 PM
Kendry steps into the room he visited as a nearly-wed a day or two ago, now in different attire, and with a different visage and voice.
He signals to bring in the unconscious fellow, and lay him on the floor.
To the child, he says, "Do not be afraid. I will not harm you, nor your parents."
To the woman he says, "Mother, put your child to bed, please."
"Friends, make sure that no one gets harmed - or tries to harm another," he says to his companions.
To Ada, he says, "I will cast a little spell. It will not hurt. But it will let me know if any lies are told in this room." Without asking permission, he casts detect thoughts.
He says to Ada, "Now, take a seat, please. Do not be afraid - unless you fail to tell the truth. Oh, and you may call me Mel."
For about twelve seconds, he looks into Ada's eyes, then asks. "Have you been spying on Bella, your neighbor?"
"Why?"
"To what end?"
"And who has been receiving the information you have gathered?"
"And what do they intend to do to her?"
"What is your nephew's name?"
If Ada asks who Kendry is (and only if), he replies, "Let me say that Bella is as an older sister to me."
Using detect thoughts, he picks up what he may from Ada Shallowroot.
He listens to Ada's responses, then turns to Podo's bound attacker - who should be coming around by now. "Mind his right hand," he asks Podo. "Mind his left hand," he asks Selithe. "No spellcasting finger wiggling from him, please."
If he is not yet awake, Kendry touches him with his wand of cure light wounds for 8 points of healing.
"Hello," and he gives the name that Ada gave him for his nephew. He focuses on his thoughts. "How are you feeling? Better, I trust, than a short time ago. If you cooperate, then I may be willing to help you feel better still."
"Now, tell us about Bella, and your interest in her."
"What plans do you or your associates have in mind for her? What group are they with? Give me the names of some of those you work with. How much do they pay you?"
He will ask similar questions to gain what he might from the Sneaky Fellow.
'Mel' indicates that others may make inquiries, too, if they wish.
Depending on the answers, he may suggest to his friends that they take Ada's nephew to the authorities. Depending on the answers. Considering his attack in Podo, though, most likely.
[Sense motive with Ada: 10. Sense motive with sneaky guy: 24 (nat 20)]
Julian d20+5=23 Wednesday February 21st, 2007 8:49:14 PM
Having made his presence known, and feeling a little sad for the kid in the house, Julian walks quietly around to near the door. He waits outside, listening for any developments that might need the 'raging madman' to help out (this is as close to diplomacy as Julian can manage.) Listen 23
Podo Danderfluff Pipewood d20+1=2 Wednesday February 21st, 2007 9:13:30 PM
Podo follows along looking through his pouch for some of those nutrious candies he always carries. When he finds one, he proffers it to the crying child.

Dwight d20+3=20 d20+11=30 d20+9=20 d20+9=21 Wednesday February 21st, 2007 10:16:02 PM
Remaining outside and hidden Dwight tries to see what is going on. He watches as conversation ensues and the group moves inside.
We have got to get better organized so that each of us know when to talk and when to let others fight
Dwight does his best to watch each member, counting and trying to keep track of everyone. Julian, Airin, Podo, Tobias, Fickle....Kendry? hehe good idea. That leaves me and Tibble hidden outside. Odd Tibble has been on the outskirts of both fights since he has joined and I still don't know his abilities.
As Dwight's mind begins to wonder, he watches the area. Hearing a baby? Didn't notice they had one until now? Hmmm. Dwight awaits someone trying to make an escape out the back.

Selithe d20+8=16 Thursday February 22nd, 2007 12:19:48 AM
Selithe nods at her brother's comment and glances to the sneaky fellow's hands as she ponders things. She knew spells well enough that she was pretty sure she could notice on being casts.

Airin d20+19=37 d20+8=11 d20+12=19 d20+12=13 Thursday February 22nd, 2007 2:53:21 AM
Not wanting to interfere with Kendry's speach Airin continues to watch the Sneak. When Selithe and Podo take over at Kendry's request though, Airin goes outside, hides in the folliage once again and wonders if anyone has heard what went on here. Never know when the Sneak's companions might turn!
Fickle Thursday February 22nd, 2007 5:13:42 AM
Fickle not wanting to go out inside, will sit outside with Julian, but watches Podo give candy to the little child??
"Lookie! Podo giv'en seeties to crying Brat! Is that a good'em thing'ie?" Fickle ask>
Tension, apprehension, and dissension (DM Cayzle) Thursday February 22nd, 2007 10:12:17 AM
d20+1=14 (Ada fails save vs DT) d20+3=15 (so does SF)
[OOC: When you cast a spell, PLEASE also post the save DC. Saves me having to look it up.]
Tobias urges Julian to calm down a little. The barbarian spellcaster obliges, moving to the front of the house and listening for an opportunity to apply his unique variety of "diplomacy"! Fickle joins Julian outside.
Podo tries to calm the child with a treat, but evidently she has a fear of strangers. Or of Podo, anyway.
Kendry uses magic and diplomacy to try to get some answers from the Shallowroots and the Sneaky Fellow. The two save with a 14 and a 15, but they need a 16, so their surface thoughts are open to Kendry's magic.
Selithe makes sure that the Sneaky Fellow casts no spell.
From Ada, you get lots of lies about his nephew coming to visit. He does not spy, he is a good neighbor, he just minds his own business, etc. His thoughts reveal a deep deep fear of the Sneaky Fellow, that he does spy on Bella and report back to the Sneaky Fellow, that the Sneaky Fellow is not his nephew. Aside from telling the comings and goings of Bella and those who visit her, he has no intention of doing anything, since he is afraid of her too!
After a cure spell, Kendry tries to learn from the prisoner. From the Sneaky Fellow, there is a lot less info to be had. This is a pro. He says nothing. He tries to ignore everything that is going on. He tries to not even hear what Kendry asks, by concentrating on other sounds, like the whimpering of the child in the loft. And his surface thoughts are entirely consumed with a jingle he keeps repeating in his head. He clearly understands what it means to fail a save in this situation, and he concentrates on this:
Eight, sir; seven, sir; Six, sir; five, sir; Four, sir; three, sir; Two, sir; one! Tenser, said the Tensor. Tenser, said the Tensor. Tension, apprehension, And dissension have begun.
[OOC: With apologies to Alfie Bester!]
The other thing that Kendry picks up are imagined scenes of truly gruesome torture and pain, inflicted on the Sneaky Fellow if he gives anything away. Whether these scenes are memories or predictions is a mystery.
Kendry invites others to ask questions, but no one takes him up on the offer.
Dwight stays outside and alert. He is wise, but for now he sees nothing. Airin also stays on guard, but sees nothing.
Any other actions with the Shallowroots or the Sneaky Fellow? If not, what will you do with them? Let's try to wrap up the night.
Kendry Thursday February 22nd, 2007 12:28:16 PM
"Please take the nephew outside," he asks his friends.
Once this is done, Kendry-as-Bella's-younger-brother tells Ada, "He is not your nephew. He will not be visiting you again, if I can help it. If I hear of any more spying on your part, I will not be pleased.
"Though you lied to me, Ada Shallowroot, you are not as evil as this fellow. I want you to learn to be a good neighbor. I want you to be a good father to your child, and a good husband to your wife.
"Spying on good people and reporting to evil people is not something you are to do any more. Do you understand?"
If Ada agrees in any wise to what Kendry just said, then Kendry hands him a small pouch with five platinum pieces in it. "This should help you and your family a little. I will check back and see how things are going later."
He turns and goes outside. He blindfolds and regags the prisoner, and stuffs little pieces of cloth in his ears.
"Let's get Tibble - he should be behind the house," and he points toward Bella's place.
Kendry will check there. If he finds him, good. He looks to see if there is a Tibble tree in back if he does not.
"To the constables with him, friends."
He does not bother to provide any more healing to the spy.
Once they reach the authorities, Kendry tells them, out of earshot of the prisoner, "This fellow is an assassin and a spy. He just tried to kill my cousin," and he indicates Podo. "He has designs on killing another member of our community, one who helps others. We charge him with attempted murder. We wish him held -- securely -- without bail until he can be tried. He has the skills of a thief - and maybe of an assassin. If you have any questions about me on this matter, please speak with the Burgomeister."
Unless something comes up to recommend another course, the young bard suggests to his friends that they get a good night's sleep, then carry out their mission of mercy on the morrow.
He will tell them all that he garnered from his questioning of Ada and the unnamed sneak - including the rhyme, the mental images of torture.
"Good job, all. Even you, you rascal," he tells Julian. "But next time, in the city, let's make a little less noise. All right?"
He says good night to all, and to Airin last, spends about half an hour writing in his journal, then falls asleep.
In the morning - it's off to Humble's Ford with the potions from Bella to meet with the fellow who can tell them the way to make the delivery.
Tobias d20+7=11 Thursday February 22nd, 2007 1:03:57 PM
Tobias asks Kendry to see if he can discern why they were helping the sneaky fellow (before we head off).
Tobias will take up guard duty on the party's trek through town to the constables. He will flank the sneaky fellow to his left. Keeping an eye out for others watching them along the way (spot: 11).
Kendry Thursday February 22nd, 2007 2:54:27 PM
"Yes, Tobias," Kendry answers. "For fear and reward. One or more of Bella's enemies found the Shallowroots a convenient watching post, and through intimidation and payment for information gathered, Ada and his wife were persuaded to cooperate."
[OOC: I estimate the time it took to question Ada, and the time it took to question the sneak, used up the duration of his detect thoughts spell.]
Fickle Thursday February 22nd, 2007 5:49:11 PM
"Cuz Kendry! This'zm I donts like'm, don't youz think'em Mez should go'z with Tobia and Spi's to Con...Cons'stable? Him Tricky!!" Fickle points to the Bound up Spy.
If the tell him No! He'll make a soft bed of leaves for the night>
Kendry Thursday February 22nd, 2007 7:42:29 PM
"Yes, friend," Kendry says to Fickle, out of earshot of the prisoner (despite the cloth plugs in the Sneak's ears). "Let's all take him to the constables." He reminds him, "You have a place to stay at the Toy & Music Shop with us, you know, Fickle."
Selithe Thursday February 22nd, 2007 10:07:13 PM
Selithe moves to help the others with the Sneaky fellow and thinks of his equipment, wondering if they should consider his stuff as spoils of victory, he did try to kill one of the members, probably more if allowed.
Podo Danderfluff Pipewood Thursday February 22nd, 2007 10:54:00 PM
"So, cuz, what we all gonna do now? We gonna just hand over Mister Sneak to the authorities? What then? Turn in for a good nights sleep? What time is it anyways? Do you think there's still time I could run over to the Catacombs to get some last minute supplies for the morning? I Could hook up with you afterwards at the toy shop. What' ya' think?" Podo asks his cousin Kendry.
Dwight d20+11=21 d20+9=13 d20+9=28 d20+3=11 d20+3=11 Thursday February 22nd, 2007 11:03:16 PM
Lingering around the house for a few minutes after the group and the bound sneak leaves, Dwight tries to listen if the Shallowroots make conversation. (He'll stick around for about 10 minutes, does the baby stop crying?)
hide:21 move silently:13 listen:28 spot:11
Eventually, if nothing is happening Dwight feels the need for sleep coming after him. Rather than sleep uncomfortably where being found could be dangerous, Dwight sneaks off to find a nice warm bed in the toy shop.
spot: 11 (anyone watching the toy shop)
If anyone is still up, Dwight will request to be filled in as he could only hear parts of the conversation from outside. After hearing such, "well, I'm guessing this isn't the end of it all, but for now we all need rest so we can set out in the morning."
"I doubt the lyric meant anything significant, just a way to change the subject in his mind. Now the images, if I got to pick what I wanted to think about, those wouldn't be it."
In the morning Dwight is ready to go and takes a group count. "Tibble, anyone seen him since last night? was he hiding somewhere? I never saw him."
Julian Thursday February 22nd, 2007 11:56:21 PM
"What!? The Constabulary? Can't I deal with him? Can't we do it ourselves? Waddaya keep going to others to for? We can do it."
"Bah! I hate all this talking and stuff. Get's in the way. Bad people eat the sword. We protect the good ones with the blade."
"Words are the weapon of the enemy. Look at what this filth did with words to the Shallowroots. Who knows what damage his words about Heather have done against her, and us. And what now? those cells are gonna hold someone who snuk up on us, hey? The only thing that'll hold him down is six feet o'dirt. And I'll gladly dig the whole, with my sword even, s'long as it's done the work it was built for, if'ya take my meaning."
"No badger would ever leave (yet another) enemy alive behind him. It's undignifying, this is. Can't stand all this talk!"
"I thought we were all about protecting the good guys. And were doing that, sure we are. I don't doubt that. Each and every one of us has shown commitment to that end time and again. But heck, think off all the protectioning we could do if we let Domi sort 'em out. I think he'd appreciate that, actually. Domi would'na talked with 'em, and made them a cup of tea and asked what their mammy ever did to them that doing this badness now. No way. Quick head-lock, fist to the nose, knee to the groin and then put him outta his misery. Move on. Next!"
"You know what. Let's dump him with the locals here then, if you think they can contain him. We break at first light for our mission. Then we've gotta bone to pick with another. Get some actions in to back up all the speeches we have about doin' the right thing."
Julian humphs off to bed with his badger stalking proudly at his heels. The collie dog, Sallie, slinks along behind with his tail between his legs.
Kendry d20+7=19 d20+7=21 d20+7=27 d20+6=9 d20+5=24 Friday February 23rd, 2007 12:15:09 AM
At Podo's Suggestion - Checking out the Goodies Before Bed
"Sure, Pode, go ahead - but let's take a closer look just before you head to the Catacombs." He asks Airin if he can take a look at the potions. He's not sure about the first two, "But this one is..." [Spellcraft checks: 19, 21, 27 - last one successful]. Oh, and he double checks to see if any two (or three) potions seem identical in characteristics (color, scent, viscosity, similar vials, etc.).
"Fickle - can I take a look at the sling?" He returns it to Fickle after he looks it over.
He would be happy were anyone else to try to figure out the nature of the items, as well.
"And the hat - it's a hat of disguise - I'm pretty sure." He puts it on his own head, and tries to transform himself into something resembling a goblin. If it's not a hat of diguise, his success is a 9. If it is a hat of disguise, his transformation is much better. Not perfect - but a 19. "I am Bobbles' Uncle," he says in a raspy, goblin-accented voice. If the disguise is not at all convincing, then he says, "Hmmm - maybe I was wrong." Along a similar vein, he says, "Say - he has a disguise kit, too. I should have thought to try to take his beard and frizzy hair off chin and head. Of course, Julian might have taken the whole head, and been done with it," he says.
"The gloves? My guess - gloves of dexterity. Maybe gloves of storing."
He tries on the gloves. He snaps his fingers on his left hand. He does the same on this right hand - to see if anything was stored in either glove. He takes his sap, to see if he can 'store' it in the glove. If not, then he tries a cartwheel and some other tumbling about, to see if the gloves help him with that. If they are gloves of strangulation, then he finds himself unwillingly choking his own neck! [just kidding]. If none of the earlier attempts makes a difference, he tries climbing a tree. Well, gloves or not, he climbs that tree real well (climb: 24, not including adjustments, if any, from the gloves).
"The goggles - want me to try them on?" If it's all right with Podo, he does so. He looks out in the dark, to see if he can see better with them - or if things in the light come in to better focus up close - or whether he can see things farther away more clearly.
"Mithral is masterwork. Likely the sling, and maybe the ... hey - anyone know how to use lock picks here?"
Kendry needs no introduction to tanglefoot bags.
"Podo, have them check out the bullets. Oh, let me see the two magical ones." He looks to see if there are any symbols on them - High Woldian (like halfling - death), or draconic, or something else. If he finds something, he remarks on it. If not, he returns them to Podo.
"The cloak - say, Airin, any similarities between your cloak of elvenkind and this one?"
What we have
Boots - MAGIC - speed? elvenkind? levitation? striding & springing? other? Cloak - MAGIC - elvenkind? resistance? other? Goggles - MAGIC - night? minute seeing? other? Gloves - MAGIC - dexterity? swimming and climbing? storing? other? Mithral Shirt with armor spikes - masterwork Hat - MAGIC - hat of disguise? Bullets x2 - MAGIC [OOC: Halfling Bane? (after all, he likely was going to attempt a hit on Bella)] Bullets x10 Nice Sling - masterwork Tanglefoot Bags x2 Disguise Kit Potions x3 - MAGIC - Kendry (likely) recognizes at least one of the three Nice Lock Picks - masterwork Buckler 70 gp
Kendry Friday February 23rd, 2007 2:16:44 AM
Concerning Julian's Objections
"You think that taking his life - this fellow who likely was targeting Bella - hasn't crossed my mind? It has.
"I'm thinking maybe we should let Fidel know of him, too. Maybe there's someone in the WLA who would be better than I at getting information from him. I've not much stomach for torture.
"He's well trained. And he is our enemy. So why not send him to Gargul?"
Kendry pauses for a moment.
"If we want to find out who sent him, it'll be easier if he's alive, and someone can break his will. I guess that's why, Jules. That, and our folk have laws.
"And words get in the way? Without words, we're just animals, cuz. There are good words, and bad ones. Sometimes the sword is the best weapon. Sometimes the tongue cuts deeper."
Airin Friday February 23rd, 2007 2:50:25 AM
Airin's pleased to see the Sneak being apprehended but uncertain that the authorities will deal with it in an appropriate way. Oh well... time will tell.
Later that night Airin enjoys the identifying session of all the items they recovered. She sure helps where she can and indeed tries to match the new cloak with her own Elven cloak.
Fickle Friday February 23rd, 2007 8:52:16 AM
Fickle listens to his cousin, "Sure! Cuz", hand him the sling and the magic bullets, "Look out! Thez Hurt!"
Fickle scratches his head, "What Youz MeanZ? Place in Toy Shop?? Iz Itz Houmey to Youz? I'em Affraid of houmey made of wood! My Maw and Paw Died in they Houmey!! ever sincez then I sleep out SideZ. Mez been safe ever since!"
If you look closely, Fickle has moister in his eyes(For the first time in a long time!)
Kendry Friday February 23rd, 2007 12:05:01 PM
On hearing this sad story, Kendry places his hand on his distant cousin's shoulder. "I'm sorry, Fickle," he says. After a pause, he asks, "How long ago was that? How old were you?" After he hears the answer to that, he asks, "Do you know how the fire started?"
He sympathizes with him. "Come on over to our place, and I'll fix you a cup of hot chocolate."
He thinks a bit, then suggests, "Hey, Ficks, I have some rope. I can put alternating knots and loops in it every foot and a half or two, and tie it to a bed leg next to a window by the street. That way, if you need to get out of the bedroom quickly, you just open the window, toss out one end of the rope, and climb down it.
"Why don't you try it, friend? I think it's better if we can stick together."
If Fickle is reluctant, however, Kendry will not push him on it. He will, nevertheless, take a few minutes to prepare a 50' length of rope in the manner described - shortening it to about half its original length by the time all the knots and loops are done.
Oh, and Kendry says, "I've got enough money now for you to join the WLA, once added to what you have." [Fickle - you have, what 1,400 gp? 1,500? Let me know, and Kendry will make up the difference to bring it to 2,000. Kendry won some stuff!]
Julian Friday February 23rd, 2007 3:49:48 PM
Julian arrives back at the toy store to find a large package wrapped up arrived for him earlier that evening. He picks it, shakes it and listens to the rattle.
"From the Catacombs. Good, just in time for business."
Selithe Friday February 23rd, 2007 9:36:11 PM
(OOC:A quick question. I didn't add no money from what Bella left as I was waiting to see if we oculd help Fickle. Since we didn't have enough what was the amount I needed to add to Selithe's CS? Just wondering so I might beable to do abit of shopping before we head to far off.)
Selithe will help deliver the sneaky fella and then heads home where she wishes everyone a good night, turning to Julian however she speaks to him, "However you mister, how about alittle reading practice before you call it a night." Selithe will spend sometime helping Julian with reading again and also looking over her spellbook some before calling it a night, giving Julian a small kiss on the cheek before he goes.
Selithe will also ask Fickle to try and sleep at the toy shop of her and Kendry's parents, but also won't press. She pats him on the shoulder and speaks a gentle sorry for his loss when he tells how his parents died also.

"Wow, is that what you really think all this stuff is?" says Podo to Kendry. "Well I now have spell craft too, so perhaps I can give it a whirl as well."
Touching and looking over each item that it had in his haversack, Podo attempts to uncover what the items might do.
Using both his spellcraft and Knowledge (arcana) skills, Podo attempts to learn something of these items obtained from the sneaky fellow.
A busy night (DM Cayzle) Saturday February 24th, 2007 1:51:13 PM
Ada takes Kendry's coins and says, "Yes, sir. Thanks you!"
There is some talk of killing the assassin, but in the end you decide to let him remain alive for now.
The party takes the prisoner to the local lock-up. In short order, the Mayor comes by. It seems the lock-up is used mostly when people are too rowdy or drunk, not as long-term punishment. But Calfast says he'll keep the prisoner here for a few weeks. He suggests that it would be easier on the town's budget if he had some extra cash for rations and two around-the-clock guards.
The party discovers that Tibble has already left town with Bella's curing potions. He left a note in a flowing hand for the party to find:
Sorry to start without you. Didn't want to extend the suffering of others any longer that necessary. As I shall be traveling cross-country, tracking me shall be nigh impossible. Harry Barqr shall 'mark' the trail for those with a 'nose' for tracking. Alternately, we can regroup at the wizard's once you spy out your sneak should your diversion prove extended. I shall council with the wizard about the necromancer until your arrival. Signed: Tibble Stinkyfoots.
The party investigates the Sneak's items, and through clever trial and error finds that some are most likely ...
Boots of Elvenkind Cloak of Elvenkind A Mithral Shirt with Armor Spikes Cap of Disguise
Others are likely ...
Goggles that help vision somehow. Not seeing in the dark. Gloves of Dex of some strength masterwork sling Tanglefoot Bags x2 Disguise Kit Potions of some kind of curing masterwork lockpicks
Unknown are ...
2 Bullets A Potion
It is getting late, but the Catacombs is open all the time. Some people go shopping. (Feel free to do some shopping. If the transaction is finished while you are on the road, we'll assume your stuff was delivered before you set out.)
The next morning you are ready to set out. You stop quickly at the WLA, but Fidel does not want to get involved with the sneaky fellow. "Of course our heroic members capture villains all the time. As an organization, the WLA stays clear of such, leaving disposition to local authorities."
It will take at least two days for Fickle to join the WLA and train and such. Will you take the time for that? Surely Tibble will be far ahead if you dally.
[OOC: There seems to be some confusion about the disposition of recent loot and cash awards. Also the Healing potions from Bella. Could someone make a master list of who has gotten what, since the fight with the Lizard-dogs?]
=========
Tibble, Please Highlight to display spoiler: { To keep the two groups kinda in sync, you travel half way to Humble's Ford and will get there tomorrow before mid-day. You spend the night under the stars ... nothing new for you. The night passes uneventfully. You are able to charm an owl, but the duration is only 1 hour per level. You are what? caster level 5? At four spells per day, you can keep an owl charmed for 20 hours. Or am I missing something?}
Kendry Saturday February 24th, 2007 4:00:12 PM
"Thank you, your honor. Would 50 gold pieces cover food and guard services for a month or so?" Kendry asks Calfast. "I hope we can address his crimes before that." If so, and if his companions do not object, he takes the money out of the 70 gold pieces found among the sneak's possessions. The felon might as well be covering his own room and board. He does advise Calfast that the fellow has some skills in stealthy movement, disguise, and attack. "We also know that he is willing to bribe others to do evil things. It might be best to keep communication with him to a minimum, and to have two guards take meals to him as necessary."
Before leaving, he wants to make sure that the prisoner is stripped, his clothing well searched, and only then returned to him - so that he does not freeze. No belt, no strings, no metal ought be accessible to him. "Give him no metal utensils or sharp objects to eat with," he also recommends. "And let no one share his cell."
Kendry - some treasure Sunday February 25th, 2007 12:18:04 AM
Kendry reports to his friends that among the potions garnered from the necromancer's cave were two potions of water breathing, as well as oil of wood shape and oil of stone shape. "I had to pay 440 gold pieces to get them identified, however, so sold them one of the water breathing potions. From that we got 23 platinum pieces and 5 gold pieces. I thought it was a bit aggressive of them to charge twice to identify two absolutely identical potions, but they would not budge on the pricing. Too bad Marco left us when he did. I felt a little bit suckered." ======
"Regarding the disposition of the Sneak's items - I have no compunctions whatsoever about divvying them up among us.
"Now, please speak up on your behalf - or that of another - if you feel the items should go to one person or another, or sold so that we can share the proceeds. I will say this - I need some better armor. I make an easy mark.
"And, with my propensity for carrying lots of things to share with lots of you as the need arises, I also - and, I believe, you also - would benefit by me having a handy haversack.
"We could exchange the spiked mithral shirt, and get, perhaps, an unspiked version of the same thing. Maybe all we need to do is have the spikes removed, I don't know.
"If it came down to one thing or the other, though, I'd prefer money for a haversack.
"I was thinking the boots might be good for Airin. They'd help you sneak about even more quietly, honey." Looking to the ranger, he adds, "Tobias, you or another may benefit from that sort of thing, too. You, specifically, often scout ahead for us.
"Gloves of dexterity - many of us could use such. Tobias - I know you rely on dexterity in your weapons use - I do for my shortbow - Selithe, you, too - again - most of us would be helped.
"Either a front-line fighter, or someone brave and bold enough to get to a front-line fighter, should carry one or both of the healing potions.
"The Cap of Disguise - any of us could use such - especially if you have some acting abilities. Same for the disguise kit. I already have a disguise kit.
"Who can use the lockpicks?
"Let's a few of us go to the Catacombs to help get these things sorted out. I'll go. Podo, you said you would, too. Anyone is welcome to come along.
"One thing we have to get, though, is another wand of cure light wounds. Unless we can afford one of cure medium wounds."
He looks around. "All right. Fickle, Podo, Airin, Tobias, Julian, Selithe, Dwight - what do you want us to do with these things?"
============== Another matter ==============
Kendry pauses for a moment, then adds in a quieter voice. "Tibble decided to leave, without our leave, and do alone what we already had agreed to do as a group. Since he is not here, he has no say at the moment." Some strain shows on the usually affable bard's face. "I hope we can catch him before he gets in trouble - and before he blows the mission that Bella gave to us as a group. He is new to our group, but we need to come to an understanding if he is to continue with us."
Then a wry smile crosses his face as he recalls various conversations his friends and companions have had with the greenmage. His head tilted downward, his eyes look up. "Of course, understanding and Tibble might be mutually exclusive items."
After a moment, he adds, sincerely, "I do admire the compassion he feels for these lost souls."
He turns to Dwight and Julian. "You were with Tibble when you got the note and potions from Bella's place. So tell us, where are all the potions of whatever sort that she provided for us to take? Do you have the cure serious wounds vials? Or did Tibble take those, too? If you have those, we could exchange one of them, plus 75 gold pieces, for a wand of cure light wounds at the Catacombs."
Fickle Sunday February 25th, 2007 6:28:14 AM
Ficlke answers his cousin Kendry, "I Haz to go and Practize at WLA! Butz remember That'z Sling anz stones arz me'm, Pleaze!."
Then Flckle is off to practise at the WAL, with the rope still tied around his waist.
Tibble Sunday February 25th, 2007 10:57:43 AM
Cayzle highlight to reveal spoiler:Highlight to display spoiler: { A day-bird during the day, a night-bird at night. Other than that, spot on.}
Airin Sunday February 25th, 2007 11:48:43 AM
Airin smiles as they begin to examine the loot. Her smiles grows even wider the moment she realises what they have been able to catch from the sneak.
She agrees with Kendry that the Boots of the Elvenkind would be very helpful to her, but that would mean getting rid of the sturdy brown boots she got as a present from him... She will keep those in her haversack along with the silk dress that should be in there somewhere.
Whoah those gloves would be excellent too and Airin's intrigued to find out what goggles these are...
(ooc. is everyone ok that Airin takes the boots? Would anyone want them?)
"Well that's it for today! I'm going to catch some sleep."
Airin goes over to Kendry and snuggles besides him. She clearly wants a goodnight kiss...
Kendry Sunday February 25th, 2007 1:36:58 PM
Which thing, for Airin, Kendry is more than willing to offer...
Kendry Sunday February 25th, 2007 9:16:59 PM
"Podo, you've been with us since Eberyon appeared. You have been generous and selfless. What would help you do your work better?" Kendry asks him.
Dwight Sunday February 25th, 2007 10:22:44 PM
"I could always use more help with my disguises and we should definitely have at least one set of lockpicks in the group. However the goggles seem a bit more interesting. Unless there is objection, I'd like to keep them until they get identified."
"As for Tibble I'm a bit surprised at him and disappointed in myself for not stopping him earlier. I know he wanted to take care of that task first, but I never figured he would attempt so on his own. I do know all the potions present were for us to take, the healing for us and the cure for the others. 5 and 5 I believe (OOC: correct this if is not right please).
"Unfortunately I didn't grab any potions aside from moving them. Figured there was no need to split them until we were ready to leave."
OOC Tibble Some of this depends on you, did you take all the potions, not looking to see the difference or did you leave, perhaps store? the curing potions?
Podo Danderfluff Pipewood Sunday February 25th, 2007 11:53:41 PM
"Cuz, whatever you think would be okay to give to me. My main attributes are Dexterity & Wisdom, so the gloves would be an advantage to have; Dexterity & Wisdom also helps me improve my armor class. Let's dole out the those that can benefit more, and then whatever might be left,if offered to me, I will accept." explains Podo to Kendry.
Kendry Monday February 26th, 2007 2:24:45 AM
"Let's get the goggles identified right now - I don't mind you using 'em before or after we learn just what they are - but you've got five minutes for 'before,' Dwight! Podo's going to the Catacombs - I'll go along for jollies. You, anyone can come. And Dwight - you want the disguise kit, the cap - fine with me - unless someone else wants to wrestle you for 'em."
To Podo, he says, "Let's find out for sure what the gloves are. If they'll help you do the type of thing you did to the Sneak tonight, I'm all for you using them. Just make sure they're not gloves of gambling, first. If they are, then Selithe should get them!"
[OOC: It would be WAY BETTER if Dwight or Julian took the CSW potions. It really was not clear based upon the posts WHO picked up the stuff, except when Tibble independently headed out with, for sure, at least, the five antidotes. AND - the platinum pieces, 400 of 'em, were distributed by Dwight ... I think?
When Podo picked up the stuff from the Sneak, he posted with clarity. He took xzy, gave abc to Airin, etc.
If you're a member of a group that comes across something, take responsibility and clarify what you do with what you find - so that we don't have this sort of confusion. :-) ]
Fickle Monday February 26th, 2007 7:46:33 AM
After a bout in the AWL chamber, Ficlke is tired. So he heads for the Toy shop, ties a rope arounr his waist, sit in a chair next to a wondow, puts his feet up. "Now! I'Mz ready to go to sleep! If Fire comes! I'mz jump out the windowz!"
He never gave it a though the he was on the First floor.
LOG ON
