"I'm going to watch those in the tower, they are fighting back and if they decide to come out, I don't want to be caught in the middle, we don't know how many are in there and how many slaves there are, they will not just come out they will plan otherwise they are just waiting for there deaths there"

"Yeah, I was only suggesting we treat with both sides to see what they are offering. Maybe we can prevent more people from being skewered or getting boiled in oil. I don't think Lady Tsira is so particular that we MUST treat with the slavers, but we still might want to talk to both sides. ...Right?"

Conflict makes Leilara wonder if plan creation was a bit out of her depth.

"Also! Yrsa! Don't you have that paper that can contact Lady Tsira? Maybe we can ask her opinion...?"

"It's one-way, dear," says Yrsa, referring to the magical parchment. "We can get the news to her, but we won't get a reply. I had hoped to save it for some good news, like 'Contract acquired, expect return' or something."

She looks out over the city's expanse. "If I had to choose, I might go with these ex-slaves. Having freed themselves, you'd think they'd all flee, but instead they're laying siege to the center. They must have some stake in this location to stick around, and perhaps that means they'll be more inclined to accept Lady Omon's contract. Not saying they're trustworthy, but it might be favorable."

"We must make contact then, theres a butchers shop in the city, theres some slaves outside, im guessing its where they are based, id suggest heading there, i'll show you where but don't fret on my intentions, my intentions are clear, we make the deal with the slaves if we can, I will not put this mission in jeapody!"
Apr 25, 2016 7:21 pm
"Alright, let's go talk with the new masters then!" Leilara takes a few steps into the city, then looks back at the group.
Apr 26, 2016 3:22 pm
"Wait for me, i'll take you there!" Kali walked back in the city, corpses on the street and blood form small rivers, kali begins heading the group towards the possible ex-slaves HQ "Before we get there I must change"
OOC:
If no hiccups on the way i guess we are all good to get there

OOC:
Alright, I totally over estimated my ability to travel and post at the same time. Forgive me!

You guys are headed to the butcher shop all together then? Kaay~
The partly follows Kalimonsore though the battle torn streets, over heaps of corpses, and though some tight alleyways. While squeezing through one particularly disgusting alley, Magnus and Yrsa notice that walls are in poor condition. It wouldn't be hard to climb them or even smash through them. It's a wonder that the revolt didn't completely destroy the slums.

Suddenly, a group of three former slaves blocks the way. When Kalimonsore halts the party, three more violent looking slaves block the rear. Their apparent leader speaks up, kicking some of the debris out of the way as she does.

"Bhjurba sends more mercenaries to their deaths, we'll launch your corpses at the tower to send a message."

About half of the slaves look pretty intent on fighting, but the other half looks a bit weary. When was the last time these guys got a good amount of sleep since the revolt started?

"We don't work for Bhjurba," says Yrsa, slowly holding her hands up to show no weapons. She lowers the section of headwrap covering her nose and mouth. "We're here to speak to the new masters, which I assume is you?"
May 3, 2016 7:28 pm
"We're just here for business, to negotiate for some trade. All we want are some clients. Our dragonborn friend here can tell you more about what we're offering." She indicates Kali, who offered to be the face of the mission at the start (from what she remembers).

Kali holds his hands up "We heard there was trouble and have been sent to help you, look.." Kali slowly reaches into his satchel as he felt the slavers feel nervous "Hey look im just gettinng this envelope" he pulls it out "This is a deal proposed by Lady Tsira with clear instructions we give it to the leader of your uprising"

Alright, moved in and got internet. I can finally start posting with some regularity again, wooo!
The freed slaves uncomfortably shift around, unsure of how to proceed. Two slaves in back exchange a glance and decide the fight isn't worth the energy. Their leader spits out an insult as they run away.

"Run away, you cowards! Those fools like that who keep the masters in power! I ain't heard of this 'Tsira' you speak of, but I know damn well that I won't work for another lady, lord, or master as long as I live!"

Invigorated by their leader's passionate outburst, the rest of the slaves get ready for a fight.

Roll for initiative! We are doing block-initiative, so each side rolls 1d20 to see which group goes first. Since Kalimonsore was the one talking, he'll be the one rolling for the party!
OOC:
You can choose to deal either lethal or non-lethal damage, whatever floats your boat.

"Who said you'd be working for us?" asks Yrsa, falling to a defensive pose as her scimitar and whip are drawn in each hand. "We're here to negotiate trade, not trade blows." And with that, she makes an obvious gesture of dropping her weapons to the ground, signaling an unwillingness to engage in combat.

Yrsa's words whisper to the party's thoughts, Careful. She's itching for a fight and may not listen.
OOC:
Which colored dot is Yrsa? She will Ready her action until someone charges her.

OOC:
The lineup from left to right is: Kalimonsore, Magnus, Leilara, Yrsa. The slaves have 3 on the left and 1 on the right. What action are you preparing?
Yrsa has readied an action. Kalimonsore, Magnus, and Leilara still have their move!
May 7, 2016 11:35 pm
OOC:
If the slave on the right holds and doesn't advance, Yrsa will telepathically speak to him/her and whisper doubting thoughts of their choice to attack, combined with the urging to listen to us. However, if the slave decides to charge at me, I plan to cast Dissonant Whispers upon it and draw two handaxes. Target must make a Wisdom save or suffer 3d6 psychic damage and must use its reaction to move as far away from me as possible. A successful save only inflict half damage.

"Please, we'd rather not fight! We're really just here for business!"
OOC:
Leilara is preparing a Sleep spell for when any group attacks the party.

Magnus will let his companions do the talking but will prepare to attack anyone who approaches with hostile intent.

OOC:
So the party's lineup is: Kalimonsore, Magnus, Leilara, and Yrsa. The alley is 10 ft wide, so it can fit two people standing side by side.
After the party readies their weapons, the slaves take the opportunity to attack. The leader raises his crossbow to take a shot at Magnus, and the two other slaves use their spears to attack Kalimonsore in unison.

Being a superior fighter, Magnus easily intercepts the two advancing enemies. He parries the first slave, and quickly sends the second slave flying into the alley wall with a standing kick. In a fluid motion, Magnus drives his sword deep into the chest of the slave that was knocked prone, and pulls out in time to deflect the oncoming bolt. The leader curses as his bolt harmlessly clatters on the ground. Slave #2 has perished

The first slave regains his footing and thrusts wildly at Kalimonsore, and his attack connects! ... Surprisingly.

The rear slaves charges at Yrsa, and she fires off her prepared spell. The rear slave grimaces as ethereal whispers flood her consciousness, but she manages to fight through the pain in order to lunge at Yrsa with her spear. Yrsa easily dodges the attack, however, as the slave isn't really a trained fighter that can stay focused while in pain.
OOC:
Leilara - You need to roll 5d8 to use your sleep spell on whoever is still alive that you wish to attack.
Kalimonsore - I need an attack roll on Slave 1, since he's the only enemy you can hit from your position. If you end up killing that slave with your attack, just ignore the damage he dealt to you since he would've been dead before it happened.
Yrsa - Your DC is 14, right? If not just tell me and I'll edit the post. Also, go ahead and roll the 3d6 damage.
