The noble Swordlord Jamandi of Aldori calls all heroes through the grand realm of Brevoy. Summoning those with courage and a righteous heart to rid the river kingdoms Stolen Lands of the scourge of banditry and the vile Stag Lord. These vile criminals, who have taken advantage of chaos and lawlessness, have terrorized our villages and threatened the safety of our people for far too long.

Now is the time for heroes to rise, to wield their weapons and magic with purpose, and to bring justice to those who prey upon the innocent. The time has come to reclaim the stolen lands, Retake our roads, our trade routes, and restore peace to our once-thriving lands.
The Stag Lord has entrenched himself in hidden strongholds, amassing ill-gotten wealth and ruling with fear. Their gangs of cutthroats and thieves harass and rob the common folk, leaving a trail of despair in their wake. It is up to you, valiant heroes, to step forward and challenge these lawless tyrants.

Gather your allies, sharpen your swords, and harness your mystical abilities. Assemble a fellowship of honor and embark on a noble quest to hunt down the Stag Lord and claim the Stoten Lands in the name of Brevoy.

Answer this call, mighty heroes! Embrace the challenge and let your names be etched in the annals of legend as rulers who tamed the Stolen Land. The time to rid our lands of the Stag Lord is now!

Octavius leans back in his chair, watching his companions' shenanigans as they attempt to rob an overly attired merchant. Normally he would be against such lowly thievery, but someone so boldly dressed in such a lowly place is either a vile overlord of criminals, an abuser of the downtrodden, or a fool about to be deservingly parted from his coin. All three would likely take offence and fight, so Octavius shall quietly slip his gauntlets on and ready himself for action

Emboldened and confidence, Tassle slowly reaches over from the bar stool beside the distracted catfolk and slowly lifts the golden jewel encrusted crown off his head so he doesn't notice. Backing away slowly. Tassle secured the loot! Snatchy snatchy.

In a dimly lit tavern nestled in the heart of a bustling city, the air is thick with the sounds of clinking mugs and raucous laughter. Patrons from all walks of life gather, seeking solace and merriment within the cozy confines of the establishment. Unbeknownst to them, a storm is about to disrupt their peaceful evening.

As the tavern door swings open with a sudden force, a group of ruffians bursts in, their entrance accompanied by a chilling silence that spreads like wildfire throughout the room. Clad in worn leather and draped in an air of menace, their eyes scan the space, their intentions clear to all who dare to meet their gaze.

The boisterous laughter fades, replaced by uneasy whispers and the shuffling of patrons inching away from the oncoming threat. The tavern's regulars, once emboldened by spirits, now hunch in their seats, their expressions etched with a mix of caution and apprehension.

The ruffians advance further into the tavern, their presence commanding attention and unsettling the atmosphere. The clattering of their heavy boots on the wooden floorboards echoes through the room, as if marking each step with a warning to those in their path.

A flicker of defiance sparks in the eyes of a few patrons, their hands tightening around mugs or weapons hidden beneath their cloaks. But their bravado is swiftly quelled as the ruffians exude an aura of raw aggression, a force that renders even the bravest souls hesitant to challenge them.

The tavern's proprietor, a weathered figure known for his unwavering resilience, steps forward to confront the intruders. With a voice that carries a hint of both authority and trepidation, he tries to defuse the tension and restore order. But his words fall on deaf ears as the ruffians remain unyielding, their intentions concealed behind grim expressions and clenched fists.

The air crackles with anticipation, the brewing storm threatening to unleash its fury upon the tranquil haven of the tavern. Patrons exchange nervous glances, bracing themselves for the inevitable clash that hangs like a heavy fog in the air.

In that moment, the tavern becomes a stage set for a confrontation, where the fates of the patrons and the ruffians intertwine, each holding their breath, waiting to see how this volatile encounter will unfold. The tranquility of the evening shattered, the tavern is now gripped by an unnerving stillness, as all prepare for the storm that is about to break.

Time hangs suspended, the calm before the storm, as all hold their breath, waiting for the fragile balance to be shattered. The potential for violence and the uncertainty of the outcome create an atmosphere that crackles with anticipation.

Lord McTarget's eyes are locked on the ruffians, until his gaze is broken a Tassle energetically flips away from him … and slightly towards the group of thugs.

"Gnomish ATTACK!" shouts one of the thugs as she whips a loaded crossbow from under a cloak. Before the ruffian leader can shout "wait" there is a "thwang". The bolt flies into McTarget, dropping him to his knees.

The warriors in back become obviously upset.

Thinking to protect her allies Selene casts Protector Tree in between the thugs and her friends by the fire. Then she uses fire to protect them by casting produce flame twice on the nearest thug.
OOC:
A Medium tree suddenly grows in an unoccupied square within range. The tree has AC 10 and 10 Hit Points. Whenever an ally adjacent to the tree is hit by a Strike, the tree interposes its branches and takes the damage first. Any additional damage beyond what it takes to reduce the tree to 0 Hit Points is dealt to the original target. The tree isn't large enough to impede movement through its square.

A small ball of flame appears in the palm of your hand, and you lash out with it either in melee or at range. Make a spell attack roll against your target's AC. This is normally a ranged attack, but you can also make a melee attack against a creature in your unarmed reach. The flame deals fire damage equal to 1d4 + your spellcasting ability modifier.

Jul 7, 2023 11:07 pm
OOC:

Now is a good time to talk about actions, spells, and attacks

You have 3 pf2e actions, however some "actions" take more than 1 pf2e actions.

Spells vary. Sometimes you can vary the cast time to varying the power. Protector Tree and Produce flame both double actions. So Jen could only do one. See graphic.

Now, produce flame is an attack spell. "Normal ranged attack". In pf2e every attack get you an -5 on the next attack. So her "quickened" flame attack would have gotten 13 (which would miss) and then 10-5 = 5 (which is a critical miss cause it 10 less than the thugs AC)

Jen, why don’t you take another action. The tree is awesome btw

OOC:

For summoned creatures they have 2 actions, and require the caster to use 1 spell sustain action on their turn.

…. However Protector Tree is not summoned. You just grew a tree. A tree that soaks damage. Primal is awesome.

In the chaos the Thug Leader, a halfling with unkempt hair shouts "Stop, we are not here for here for you lot" Gesturing he commands, "Grab this mook, we are out of here. Now!" 

Two lurch forward and grab McTarget, dragging him back to the door. One grumbling about a sling pellet that wacked her in the eye.

The other two, load and aim their crossbows at the crowd. "Watch the gnome, they are unpredictable" one whispers

The goons are just using their move actions, 25ft per action x3
Except the one with the crossbow, he attacked and rolled a 1 (+6) which is less than McTargets' AC of 12. A failure, except for the 1. Rolling a 1 lowers the degree of success to a critical failure.

Then she readies her acid splash cantrip to hit the bleeding moron if he doesn't give up and leave. She also orders her awesome familiar to run about like a small dog underfoot in search of snackies and trip as many goons as possible.

The tiny Leshy head pricks up with Seline's serious lecture. Not wanting to disappoint the mistress the Leshy scrabbles off the table and darts towards the halfling, weaving chaotically between his fit.

The tavern seems eerily silence, as the sound of boot gets louder.

Thug 4, the one holding McTarget. Draws a dagger close to the catfolks' throat, defiantly shouting "Say back, or this lowtime noble gets it! We will not back down! This is our turf now!!!" The thug looks ready to strike at anytime.

The bloodied thug leader, looks to be getting ready for a rousing speech before starting to fade away, as he turns to run

Tassle throws the bread with a mighty hurl. However she forgot to account for the rye content, and it flops onto the floor in front of her breaking into multiple pieces. "Hey" grunts the bartender.

Outside the door you see armed guards appear, dress similar to the backroom goons. Some start to chase the running Thugs while other approach the hostage situations. Blocking the exit in the process.

The two goons close to McTarget lower their weapons. The closest says, "whooa, calm down. No one has to get hurt." Just then the incapacitated Thug wheezes. The goon continues ".... any more than they have too"

Now that Octavius has his brain back in order, he'll look over at the new Goons and ask "What exactly is your interest in this affair?"

The Goon closest to Octavius crinkles her brow, before grunting "I’m Em, we are city guards trying to save this noble" in an annoyed tone. Turning her gaze to the nervous thug "just let McTarget go. You know his mother will spring for the raise. You are not threatening anyone." McTarget’s eye widen.

The scene at the tavern remains tense. All but two of the thugs has fled, one wounded and one holding a noble Catfolk hostage. Violence has ceased, however the main entrance remains blocked by city guards.

Those in the back, who you thought were simple goons, turn out to be guards themselves. They eye Tassle, Seline, Octavius, & Dalia with suspicion and confusion, however remain focused on the thug holding a dagger to McTargets throat.

Octavius is fairly certain that discussing raise dead so casually is NOT acceptable. In Golarion raising the dead is at very least expensive, costing at least 200 gp. A large sum for most people, even noble houses. Also, raising dead is often taboo as you are cheating Pharasma the deity responsible for leading souls to the afterlife.

Something is off with these guards

Seline it was some sort of deal gone wrong, however it went to violence way too fast. The thugs, while putting a bravado front, were very nervous and trigger happy. She recall that some of the thugs had markings of some "sort of animal paw" on their wrist and other had "2-4 black dots" on the side of their neck. Odd, Seline has seen the paw thing on the street ruffians in the area, but never the dots.

It's odd for street gangs to be together.

Distracted by the foolish thug, the guards do not seem to react as Tassle discretely pops under the table. Moving with "mission impossible" precision from table to table towards the back of the tavern.

Tassle eventually runs out of tables to provide cover. There are four exits to the tavern. The main door and stable door have guards and thugs stand besides them. The the kitchen door is behind the bar, the grumpy bartender is kinda in the way. There is a clear path to door to the inn rooms. This path has no cover, and goes past stairs up and down. Some ladies sit on the stairs, peeking out to see the action.

Meanwhile, in the tavern main room the guards have cuffed the terrorist thug and applying medical attention to the once again wounded Target McTarget.

The guard leader (at least the one calling the shots) side-eyes the three adventures as they sit down for the next round pints after a harrowing ordeal. "Wait, what..." the guard stammers before being cut of by the strange new Gnome.

"Don't worry, adventures were here to save the day. You guards do your guards thingies :) " the Gnome says in his most macho, yet effeminate voice.

The guard leader get red in the face, before calming. "Er, right. Let get out of ... eh get these trouble makers out here"

McTarget moans "Sigil ... " while holding his head

"Ya ya, you're an important noble we will get you home " the guard leader mutters as they hall McTarget out.

The colorfully dressed gnome approaches Dalia, Seline & Octavius, "What are you drinking, round on me. No tricks :)"
Aug 18, 2023 3:18 am
"Well if you're sincere I guess you could buy me a glass of wine since Filbert will be having snacks anyway." Selene cautiously eyes the gnome.

Your familiar has snoop, independent, and speech right? Snoop gets a free reaction to aid diplomacy, which automatically succeeds. Independent gets it a free action, which with speech means it can freely engage in the conversation
It can help twice ie +2

Dalia graciously accepts another glass of wine.

Greetings... I must apologize I missed your name good sir.
Thank goodness you showed up when you did or this standoff could have turned ugly again. I am curious though to what we owe the pleasure of your company?
Aug 18, 2023 5:20 am
The gnome smiles brightly at the invitation, looking at Dalia and speaking gnomishly fast "Well you were obviously having trouble handling the situation, a hero has to step and help the weak once and a while, you know" Tartuccio pauses to sneer at the waitress as she pours cheap wine "Of coarse, not everything is a charity. You handled those gutterpunk thugs nicely and I'm looking for a crew for an upcoming opportunity" His voice goes quiet and high pitched "There is a call to take down the Stag Lord, he is a big deal in the Stolen Lands you know. Once I take him down I'll get my own kingdom." he pauses sips his wine with smug satisfaction "Of coarse, rewarding those who help me :)"

The words from the stately gnome flow smooth and he greets everyone with the warmth of glowing hearth. Seline as far as you can tell Tartuccio is being straight with you.

In the tavern wine pours and ale flows.

From stories and memories you recall that the Stolen Lands have spanned the southern border of Brevoy. Over the generations, there have been many attempts settle them, but to date, none have succeeded. Making these 35,000 square miles of wilderness the largest swath of unclaimed land in the entire River Kingdoms.

It is well known fact that tensions are mounting tensions mount in Brevoy. What you do recall is that Jamandi Aldori, one of Rostland’s swordlords hopes to change that fact; she plans to issue charters to several groups of adventurers, sending them south into the Stolen Lands to reopen old trade routes and defeat the bandits and monsters who have made them too dangerous to use.

By sending free agents south, this Swordlord of Rostland hopes to create new allies without sacrificing her own position of power in Brevoy.
A most complex and brilliant plan.
OOC:
The group rolled well, if you have specific questions let me know.
Aug 20, 2023 9:06 pm
However, as you pry Tartuccio for more information he remains steadfast that he is the one with the key to the Charter. Even confronting him by the fact that you have heard of Lord Aldori's plans, and they don't involve a single group.

https://i.imgur.com/T8HW7EL.jpg

The conversation ends with an impassioned rant on how Tartuccio is the be Lord for the job. "..., So are you three in?"
Aug 20, 2023 9:16 pm
Meanwhile in the backrooms ....

Tassle you try a few doors but find them locked. Before you can really do anything the Bartender is back on you, hounding you with a puke.

"Oy, dont go in thar! Yo can Puke tavern, peopl' do that all the time." he grunts smugly "Easier clean. itis thad way"
OOC:
The bartender is very aggressive. Tassle with find herself Karen-ed back to the main room unless she takes action (eg violence/more talking/ or another diversion
Aug 20, 2023 10:54 pm
I want some proof that you're lord of the job before I commit to anything. I could claim to be the queen of the mountains without proof and nobody could say anything against me right now. I need more evidence before I risk my life for someone I just met. I have Filbert to consider. (Snuggles Filbert and feeds him nibbles)
Aug 21, 2023 12:58 am
"Ha! Well if you want to be queen we can discuss that later." Tartuccio says with a wink. "For this proof, have no fear. My word is as solid as your precious mountains. In fact! I was heading to the grant mansion of Lady Jamandi Aldori to receive my charter .... before I stopped to provide my grandiose assistance.

He looks around at the seedy tavern squinting his eyes "There a feast tonight, with better wine. (In lege bar yndied). We should get going, service here is terribly slow"
OOC:
He spoke a bit of gnomish. "In lege bar yndied" is "A low bar indeed" if your character understood
Aug 21, 2023 1:10 am
Very well, I am willing to accompany you see Lady Aldori, and if all you say is true. I maybe willing to bring the teachings of our great Lady to the lawless lands.
Aug 21, 2023 2:22 am
"Huzzah! The brigands won’t know what hit them!"
Aug 21, 2023 3:53 am
Quite right. Since we would be feasting at her own house, I should be willing to take her, and you sir, at her own word
Aug 21, 2023 4:23 am
The Gnome, looks at Octavius with excitement and a jostling smile "Yes, lets feast like lords! ... and maybe we can borrow some finer silks while were are there"
Aug 23, 2023 12:40 am
Tassle gracefully submits to the escort back. And sees his companions falling under the spell of the gnome like chumps...
Aug 23, 2023 3:24 am
As Tassle approaches the table, Tartuccio does his best to ignore the stealth bright-haired gnome. "Just the bill please"

However, when Tassle joins the party Tartuccio is visibly shocked and spills his wine "oh of coarse you are four! More the merrier!
Aug 23, 2023 3:30 am
Meanwhile at the door, a large muscular woman covered in mud and what is likely blood Hey, there you are! she bellows in a heavy Kellid accent "You said you would bring me to mansion! You own me a fight!"

Aug 23, 2023 3:34 am
In a surprisingly smooth yet nervous tone "Glory, my dear Amiri, I promised glory. Just getting more recruits, that is all. We were just leaving. Right now. This instance.

Under his breath he whispers "10 of the shiniest gold piece to whoever makes her go away"
Aug 23, 2023 4:09 am
Was she supposed to go to the same mansion that we're supposed to go to with Lady Aldori? Because if she is I'm not sure I want to go before I hear more from her.
Aug 23, 2023 4:23 am
Dalia smiles at Tartuccio, I like her, I can already tell that she is one who truly enjoys the moment and finds happiness in lifes little joys, whatever they may be and does not let anyone dampen that. Everyone needs more of that in their existence.

Dalia waves to Amiri. Do not worry my new friend we were just finishing up discussions before we go to the feast.
Aug 24, 2023 5:14 am
Despite Tartuccio's silent protests Amiri hulks over to the table, grabbing Dalia's ale and downing the half finished glass.

(Snort) "These don't look like strong fighters, except maybe the fancy on one" She says as she swipes at Octavius' silk. "What's your deals"
Aug 25, 2023 2:08 am
"A battle may be won by brawn alone, but a war, a conquest requires intellect. I will not have you disparage my companions" I say as I wipe the dust [whether its there or not] from where she got her grubby mitts on my nice clothes.
OOC:
I was going to go the traditional route of hitting on the NPC, but she's rude and needs a lesson in manners
Aug 25, 2023 3:37 am
The barbarian looks at Octavius quizzically, before smiling "Ha!, Yes! battles need to be won with cunning! I like this one!" She bellows before grabbing Tartuccio glass and downing it "To glory! Let get to the feast, the Stag Lord won't slay himself!"
Aug 25, 2023 7:10 pm
Tassle pipes up 'what's this about a stag lord? And more importantly what exactly are we getting for said stag lord slaying? Are you paying part up front for our time and effort in going there?'
Aug 25, 2023 9:23 pm
"Glory of coarse! The Stag Lord is a big bad bandit king. These guy always know how to fight. Taking a chump like him down is the kinda stuff that gets you noticed by Gorum" Amiri bellows with satisfaction

"... and a kingdom." Tartuccio bravely interjects as he stares at his empty wine glass "Lord Jamandi Aldori will issue a charter to anyone that clears the Stolen Lands from bandits"

"eh ... which will of coarse be me, Tactuccio the great and natural leader!"
Aug 27, 2023 11:22 pm
Leader...??? I'm not so sure about that. But I'm not a big fan of bandits so they're something that needs to be dealt with.
Aug 28, 2023 1:39 am
A life of banditry is a sad life and one filled with questionable pleasantries. I think that we should indeed show them that there is a better path within the glorious embrace of Calistria holy halls.
Aug 28, 2023 5:03 pm
Amiri whirl around to loom over Tartuccio and rants "Yeah yeah, a great chief. Yet you are sitting here doing nothing while the warband is keen to go hunting."

With a bright smile, limited by the scar on Amiri face, the barbarian says "A real leader takes actions ..." before grabbing the gnomes cape and dragging him to door.

"No tricks this time, the oxen in this city are a bit weak anyway"
Aug 28, 2023 5:05 pm
Perturbed the gnome protests "Hey, stop it. We are on our way anyway. Your wrinkling it. A little help"
Aug 28, 2023 5:15 pm
Meanwhile, an unassuming greybearded dwarf had entered the tavern from the backrooms and slowly dropping off the key to the bartender. In monotone voice he says "Easy now, there is no need to rush to the end. It will come eventually."

He sighs "I know of this bounty you speak of, I can lead you there now without the need for violence"

With that the dwarf starts plotting off.

Following the dwarf, who eventually introduces himself as Harrim everyone make it to an impressive hilltop manor, with hardly any violence.

A cobblestone path, bordered by regal oak trees and well-manicured hedges, winds its way up the hill for nearly a mile, past a two-story guard barracks, the stables, and a dozen thatched-roof cottages that house the families of the manor’s servants and retainers. The manor itself is a sprawling, three-story structure constructed of light gray mortared stone, surrounded by hedge-lined rose gardens and ancient oak trees.

The guards let you in without issue, or deference to Tartuccio. There are many hero's here for Lady Jamandi’s "Call for Heros", and the feast has already started. You are quickly rushed to the Manor's east room and issued sparta quarters with four beds. Amiri, Harrim, and Tuctuccio are given different quarters.

You arrive to the feast just in time to hear Lady Jamandi giving a speech
https://i.imgur.com/F97EzAL.jpg
Aug 30, 2023 12:20 am
A striking half-elf woman enters the hall, followed by an aristocratic, middle-aged human man. The man wears finely tailored clothing, fit for a noble, while the woman appears dressed for battle. She wears a fine leather coat over a sparkling mail shirt, and at her waist hangs an Aldori dueling sword with a bright silver pommel. The two make their way to the head table, where they remain standing.

The man speaks first. "Greetings, heroes! I am Ioseph Sellemius, lord mayor of Restov. And this," he gestures to the woman beside him, "is Lady Jamandi Aldori. We both thank you for answering her call for heroes. You may be few, but we need only the best for this great task."

Lady Jamandi offers the room a broad smile before she speaks. "South of here, beyond Brevoy’s border, lie the Stolen Lands. This disputed territory has been claimed time and again by would-be settlers, but because the area has been a haven for bandits and monsters, it has never been held for long. Restov intends for this to change."

"If you have enough courage to drive off the dangerous denizens of the Stolen Lands, you can seize territory for yourselves and name yourselves baronesses or barons. Restov intends to recognize the legitimacy of the new rulers of this land, and none of the other neighboring realms care enough to challenge you. We are prepared to provide backing as a trade partner and military ally. If you claim the land, you will have my—indeed, all of Restov’s— support!"

Lady Jamandi raises her goblet. "But the details of your individual missions and charters into the Stolen Lands can wait. I raise my glass to you, brave heroes! For now, let us eat and enjoy the evening. Tomorrow promises to be a very busy day."

https://i.imgur.com/UsBDr8B.jpg
Aug 30, 2023 12:28 am
After Lady Jamandi finishes speaking, her servants begin circle around the room, filling mugs with ale, fruit juice, or water and serving food from heaping platters. The feast itself includes four courses in all: crisp greens lightly flavored with savory oils, spicy seasoned waterfowl, a main course of tender roast boar, and a finishing selection of fine desserts and cheeses. For the duration of the feast, the servants bustle about in their never-ending quest to keep mugs and goblets full and take discarded plates away to the scullery.

As the feast enters it's stride the speeches clapping and formalities die down and the guest begin to mingle
OOC:

Let start a social scene. Challenges could include
• gathering more information

Aug 30, 2023 12:50 am
In the feast hall, of interest

Lady Jamandi Aldori & Mayor Ioseph Sellemius are together, they are surrounded by a gaggle of minor nobles. It looks like it is difficult to get the two head honcho's attention.

Amiri is aggressively challenging people to drinking/wrestling contests

Tartuccio is boasting about how great he is.

Harrim is talking religion with what appears to be an undead elf (Jaethal)

A ruggedly handsome swordlord (Maegar) is attempting (and failing) to flirt exceptionally beautiful warrior (Valerie).

A very excited halflling (Linzi) is perkily chatting with anyone she can find, and occasionally writing in a large leather-bound journal

The room is fill from many other nobles, adventures, and officials as well
OOC:
I will fill details of the NPCs in the other channels.

Also, there are two ways to handle a scene like this. ROLE playing or ROLL playing.

For Role play you would interact with the other characters directly. A back and forth interaction

For Roll play you would use your character's skills in board terms. Eg, "Seline would like to yell at Tartuccio until he cry's, Roll 1d20+3"

We can also a hybrid of both.

Over the course of the feast Selene and Filbert chat with many of the other guests. Of note

Linzi is overjoyed about the cute talking Leshy. Cheerfully she tells a tale of her origins in the revolution-ravaged country of Galt and her plight to the oppressive regime of Pitax, where learned the bardic arts. She is keen to record every detail of this feast of heroes to go into her epic book. "The bandits are big meanies, no doubt we will defeat them as in the tales of old"
OOC:

leadership: will follow the most epic person
 

Maegar brags that he is being assigned to assigned to Nomen Heights and about how he’s already got plans for anew village called Varnhold drawn up back at his home. He already has a team lined up for time. Maegar is the third son of a Brevic baron ,and as such, he doesn’t stand to inherit his father’s title and holdings. The opportunity to make a name for himself by answering the call for heroes is, he believes, his best chance to make his fortune  
OOC:

interests: create a new village called Varnhold
opinions/strategies: will deal with the bandits with a series of  hit and run tactics

Born into nobility, Valerie once sought to become a champion of Shelyn, but an act of blasphemy forever set her on a much more ordered and organized path. She doesn’t regret abandoning her original path, but she does regret how her fellow Shelynites reacted to her choice. She appreciates the beaty of Filbert's scales

Kassil Aldori gives a tired speech "Sigh, assignments and teams will be decided tomorrow. The Lady wants to assess the adventures and make the appropriate matches. Then appropriate charters can be drawn and signed". Octavius gets the feeling this is not the first time he has said this tonight.

Kassil does notice Octavius' family crest and perks "Oh, the Lady is good is on terms with your house. A lessor son you said, you haven't been exiled?" there is a pause as the room is filled with boasting cheers, as apparently Amiri is doing something stupid/heroic "No matter, the Lady will be excited by the news. Let's talk when it is quieter. I will see to it that you get preferential treatment over more ... uncouth adventures"
Sep 1, 2023 3:41 am
Meagar Varn is very excited to meet someone of his rank and status. He discusses in great detail his plans to found a village and gain power of his own. Octavius seems to impress him with his own tales and Meagar start to speak about the plans for future nation "When we establish are nations we should work together, we can form a grand alliance"
Sep 2, 2023 1:51 am
To Kassil: Magnificent, your service to The Lady is commendable. I am not exiled, just taking pressure of my family obligation to their many children by making my own way. Certainly still in good standing with them. I shall make myself available at your leisure, sir."

To Meagar: "My thoughts exactly. I do believe we shall be good friends in the future. I shall take efforts to remain in contact with you, but for now, we should both make the social rounds to get a idea of our other potential neighbours."

If it were up to her she would approach slow and methodical. Taking bandit outposts, building defensive posts to contain the stag lord. Almost laying siege to the region

Tassle tucks her hair in, and starts 'mingling' but really just listening for important conversation we can use to our advantage (or sell to someone else's disadvantage!)

Fluttering through the hall as a social butterfly Tassle is able to listen in many conversation. Of juice news, you over hear some nobles gossiping that;

It is no secret that the swordlords of Rostland are chaffing under house Surtova rule of Brevory. In fact Lady Jamandi "Call of Heros" gambit is in part to secure loyal allies to the south from Nations curved out of the Stolen Lands. 

Noleski Surtova the head of house Surtova and ruler of Brevey was seen personally and (supposedly) entering House Lebeda's manor a few days prior. "Scandalous" as House Lebeda is suppose to be an ally of the Swordlords. House Lebeda  only and prominent son, Lander Lebeda is in attendance at the feast. 

You also encounter a well armoured adventure Hannis Drelev leader of the Iron Wraiths. They are quite established and will be getting a charter. "We’ve been charged with dealing with the Tiger Lords and, then, establishing diplomatic contact with Pitax to work out border issue", Drelev whispers to one of his follow adventures.  Lady Jamandi made a few enemies in her bit to take the (disputed) stolen lands. Chief among these enemies is King Castruccio Irovetti, the ruler of the River Kingdom of Pitax on the StolenLands’ southwestern border

Dalia moves about the room, not directly engaging unless approached, simply listening, sizing up the attendees and trying to figure out who is likely to be the most competition to our group.
Scanning the room you, with quest and deft you are able to identify several potential competitors with the skill to lead.

The Iron Wraiths are a well know adventuring and organized party, their leader Hannis Drelev is bragging how he will take the Stolen Lands

Maegar Varn is eager to lead. You over hear a grizzled wizard Cephal Lorentus recruiting people to Varn's side. He is mildly dismissive of Meagar buddying up to Octavius

Tactuccio, while slimy, is very charming and is activity recruiting people to his side.

You overhear that Lander Lebeda, a high regarded Brevory noble, is intending to slip into the Stolen lands kingdom race. He is waiting to the last minute to announce this, to avoid spies like the famed diplomate Shandra Mervey

Dalia attempts to start a conversation with Jaethal. Asking polite questions while trying to determine if they would be a good connection to grow.
Dalia interrupts a 'heated' argument between Harrim and Jeathal

Harrim "... yet Urgathoa will fade in the end, as with everything. It is as simple as life and death, a cycle."

Jaethal "It is never that simple" the elf pauses as if afraid to say the next word "Pharasma lasted through the last end that is a well known fact."

Noticing Dalia approach she snaps anxiously at the stonic dwarf "Ah a new guest, we should talk to her ... that is what people do at parties"

The subtly undead elf is seemly eager to chat with Dalia, who is not a stubborn dwarf cleric. Over the night Jeathal opens up the Dalia. telling a tale of how she was exiled from Kyonin after a tragedy, and she hopes to find a place in a new society. A nascent nation like the one that may soon grow in the Stolen Lands is an excellent opportunity for such a fresh start. She also sees Lady Jamandi’s call for heroes as an opportunity to mingle with the living once again and possibly to atone for some of her past deeds.4

Dalia is impressed by Jaethals noble goal and redemption plans and offers friendship and to aid in such things if possible. As everyone deserves a chance at redemption and happiness.
Sep 8, 2023 9:07 pm
Jaethal seems please by Dalia's acceptance of her. It is difficult to tell. Initially you thought Jaethal was reserved and hiding her intentions, after a night of conversation you get the sense that she doesn't feel much emotions.

"You offers of kindness are much appreciated. Perhaps we can build something that is more accepting of those who made mistakes in the future."
Sep 10, 2023 3:45 am
Lady Jamandi approaches the front of the room,

"Pay attention!!" shouts Kassil as the music stops and the crowd hushes

"My friends," Lady Jamandi begins, "I hope you have enjoyed the food and drink this evening!" Her words are quickly met with a round of cheers and the enthusiastic tapping of several dozen mugs and goblets. It takes a few moments for the room to grow quiet again.

Smiling broadly, she continues. "You honor me, truly, but this night is for you! As heroes, you have responded to my call, and I can’t wait to hear tales of your exploits in the weeks and months to come.

"Tomorrow, I shall speak with you all about your individual charters. I suspect it will be a busy day, so I suggest we make an early evening of it. After all, you have kingdoms to plan!" Lady Jamandi’s words are met with an even louder round of cheers and drinkware-tappings. A few goblets even shatter thanks to overeager hands.

Lady Jamandi gestures to the large double-doors to the east and west. "Of course, I’ve arranged bedchambers for all of you. My guards will escort you to them now. I hope you find them restful. We shall speak further tomorrow when we meet back here at sunrise."
Sep 10, 2023 3:53 am
Lady Jamandi and the lord mayor leave the hall, followed by a retinue of armed guards wearing garnet-colored cloaks over suits of chainmail.
Other guards begin to escort groups of revelers to their rooms for the night.

You are escorted the east wing of the manor. The attendants have set up a 5th bed and the guards escort Ralf the wizard to the room

I think sharing beds is needless. There are five. More importantly we should compare opinions on the others we met. My understanding is that should we succeed, we are expected to owe fealty to Lady Jamandi. Understandable as she will grant legitimacy to any claim and provide a trade and military partner once things become established.

I spoke at length with Meager Varn. His situation is like mine. No chance of inheritance, so he's making his own. If our goals and his are compatible with building his fief, he will be a valued ally. But he will not risk his place for others if the potential gain is not extraordinary. And should we harm his potential, he will seek vengeance, if for no other reason than to remove a known threat

The iron wraiths were mocking the guards about how they had a better place in town

You noted that Linzi, Amiri, Harrim, and Valerie are in a room down the hall. Amiri and Linzi are quite loud.

Tartuccio and Jeathal was taken to the west wing.

The Adori’s would be in the main building.

Right now, the competition is useful. We will be badly outnumbered in an unfamiliar land. Let the others absorb some of the danger, saving us the trouble. The mercenaries should be particularly useful if it comes to a straight fight. That gnomish fellow will out all manner of hidden danger, and if Amiri stays with him, he may even live to warn others in time.

Also the attempt to fasten the fork to the fidget spinner fails. You might need tools

I ask Tassle to hand me the fork and fidget spinner because she looks like she's definitely doing it wrong. I then cast produce flame to very carefully weld the fork to the end of the spinner without messing up the ability to spin.

Fazed by a grievous stab to the face Jim infectively lashes out at at Octavius with his crossbow. He panics and desperately tries to to stop the fork related bleeding, eventually collapsing on the floor.
OOC:
Cutthroat-Jim
Action 1: Strike @ Octavius (fails)
Action 2-3: interact to stop bleed damage (fails)

Two nearby cutthroats drop the body of the house guard in shock. "Oy, I'll go get help, you hold them off" one says before bolting down the hall.
OOC:
Cutthroat-Brown
Action 1: Command
Action 2: Stride 25ft
Action 3: Stride 25ft
"Hey!" the other says in annoyance, before pulling a crossbow and firing at Octavius. With flies harmlessly into the door frame.

After a moment of thought, "This is dumb" and the other cutthroat starts running away, to the nearby stairwell. A that time the manor is shock by a loud repeating clank. The internal portcullis of the manor drop in unison. The cuttroat dives underneath, Indiana Jones style. Unfortunately, his clothing get caught under the pin of the portcullis' spikes, pinning him.

Sep 30, 2023 7:08 am
OOC:
Point of order, you can walk in the fork filled hallway. It's just difficult terrain, which means it is slower to travel through. Which doesn't matter that much now that combat is stopped.

Through the combined efforts of Seline and Dalia the fork related bleeding is stopped. The three cutthroats are stable, but still unconscious. As is the cutthroat that Octavous shield punted into the floor.

To bring them to consciousness you can attempt to

Filbert and Sparky make short work of the fork filled hallway. Clearing a path for easy walking.

"Perhaps the 'highnesses' want a red carpet, as they couldn't be bothered stepping past a few forks?" Sparky snarks

"Oh, it is already pretty red from the human sap" Filbert replies innocently
Sep 30, 2023 7:24 am
Meanwhile the cutthroat trapped under the emergency portcullis has managed to tear his shirt off, his pants still remain pinned.

Octavius will go fetch the other pest for interrogation, trial and execution. I'll bring my rope, in case he's on the wrong side. If he is, I'll tie him to the portculis, disarmed and leave him for guards or competitors

The naked cutthroat is in a small guardhouse opening the exterior door. Hands grab at him, darts thud into the heavy wooden door, but he manages to get the door open.

As he runs out he shouts "Haha, you'll catch Di Ceroller!. Black tears for-eeeevvveerrr ....

His words tail off as he stumbles, collapsing and crashing into a bush. The naked cutthroat is out of sight, but you can hear him snoring.

Ralf opens the door to a large, indoor garden that resembles a tropical paradise. Lush plants and flowering vines hang from the walls, while a slow-moving stream of water cuts through the center of the room, flowing languidly from north to south through stone drains. Planters filled with colorful flowers line the stream. Two narrow wooden bridges arch over the water, allowing passage from one side to the other. Partially submerged in the stream to the north stands a life-sized marble statue depicting an armored half-elf woman holding a rose and wielding a shield.

The door on the other side slams open and a large ogre pops its head trough, sniffing the air. It is dressed in matted fur and shows signs of recent battle, notable a large gash the has hit both eyes.

Ralf seamless slips behind some lush bushes and remains still. After a moment the orge bellows "Будь ты проклят! Больше не обманывай меня, я найду тебя и разобью твои глаза!" before leaving and slamming the door.

The door to the garden creaks open with an almost unnatural silence. Gracefully a small shadowy figure dressed in black slips through

With a whispered voice the halfling pleas "Heros! You thank Iomeday you are here. There is a crazed ogre killing everyone, we must rush in unprepared and save them...."

The halfling pauses to take stock of the saturation, then after brief moment of shock and horror starts edge towards the door he came in.

Dalia, Selene, Ralf and Tassle enter the room of the magical garden. The are is fresh and warm, which is no consolation as Betrayius is no-where to be seen.

The far door remains ajar and Dalia and Selene approach to the enraged ogre in the hallway. He is pressed against the wall with his club raised and ready to strike near a ajar door to the right. Stealthily he mutters "I am going get you, eat your bones, crush you eyes!."

When Dalia speaks the ogre slams his club down as if he something in his trap. There is a tense moment as he sniffs the air and tries to make out who is speaking. Relaxing he again raises his club over the door. "You better!" he snarks at Dalia

"Useless black tears. Act tough and but run from one little crazed human. Gromag do all the work, look around all blood made by Gromag!" he rants proudly. Then as if he had a brilliant idea, he orders "Get in there and flush out halfling. She tricky, so me squash you if you leave"

I think your plan is truly brilliant, I should indeed go flush out that pesky halfing, but I am not used to all this violence and I am not strong like you, with those amazing muscles."

The rearguard (Tassle & Ralf, and soon to joined by Octavius) hear a faint "wft!" on Gromag's declaration that Dalia is a strong leader. The location was unclear due to the babbling stream that mystically flows in the garden.

Unfortunately, his master had step through the door just as Sparky dove. Sparky furiously flapped his wings and flailed he talons to prevent a serious impact to his masters' face.

Tassle feels we need help to see this punk. So she reaches into her pockets for her emergency glitter stash (because of course she has that) and throws some glitter bombs where the outline was.

Dalia enters a modest-sized library that lies in ruins. Bookshelves along the east and west walls have been emptied; books lie heaped into a pile in the northeast corner. Set atop this heap are the bodies of guards and would-be heroes, it has similarities with a shire.

In the room is the young halfling named Linzi that you meet at the feast. She is not well hidden, dressed in bright colorful clothes. She states at Dalia, muttering, shifting for a moment, before noticeability relaxing. "Ok, I can help" she whispers
OOC:

Tassle runs towards the shimmering figure and pulls out a agglomeration of glitter, tape, and unstable chemicals. She catches the shimmer and dripping wetness and yeets the glitter bomb true.

The agglomeration lobs lopsided and lands near the shimmering figure, a spray of shiny dust outlining Betrayius's ugly mug. The glitter outline slowly fades and the shinny dust transfers from on to permanently worn and is adsorbed by the magic powering invisibility. Betrayius is now sprinting towards the door by Selene.

Avindale you would be correct, -5 on each attack per round. Though I am going to say that it took a moment for Betrayius to realize that he is not invisible, he was trying to sneak initially, so two rounds to act is reasonable.

Selene, a glittery (fiery?) silhouette is charging right at you. What do you do?

Octavius, you would be in the room by now and could take an action

Oct 10, 2023 10:40 pm
Octavius trusts his companions' judgement that this shimmering, fleeing shape is a foe, lays down his glaive, takes aim and puts a crossbow bolt in the dubious target.

He'll then take a moment to inquire of his friends what specifically is going on, and who, if anyone, is friend, foe or victim of the assassins.

The shimmering figure streaks towards Selene, leaving a trail of wet glitter. A bolt flies past his head and fire scorches the glass under his feet.

Betrayius prepares to leaps into the air in an attempt to jump past the tall elf. Mid jump a bolt lands solidly into the back of his neck, followed by a second bolt of fire into his hair. Causing the halfling to roll limply towards Selene.

Like a nimble deer Selene gracefully leaps out of the way of Betrayius' tumbling body. As he settles the crossbow bolt and glitter is consumed by invisibility, leaving slowly growing pool of blood and diminishing smoke mysteriously emanating from seemingly nothing nothing.

Gromag is visibly confused, swinging his head, sniffing towards the library and towards the gardens. "What this! Where is halfling!! Bring me Halfling HEAD!!! "

Invisibility
Duration 10 minutes
Cloaked in illusion, the target becomes invisible. This makes it undetected to all creatures, though the creatures can attempt to find the target, making it hidden to them instead. If the target uses a hostile action, the spell ends after that hostile action is completed.
Oct 12, 2023 4:46 am
"I do know where he can find a halfling head if we don't want to fight Gromag. We should decide quickly. I think we can take him, but only as a group."
Oct 12, 2023 1:30 pm
"Agreed. Betrayius can be useful for once in his worthless life." And if the ogre is still a problem afterward, we can deal with him then."
Oct 13, 2023 5:34 am
Dalia quickly picks the corpse that looks most like a halfling,
and wraps a piece of colorful fabric around their neck like a scarf, and one in a pocket, before grabbing the fake bards arms and pulling them out to Gromag.

"Ha here you go my valiant warrior, your snack, I apologize for being unable to remove the head. Quickly now I need you to retreat back to the hideout, so that I might continue to play my part. Unfortunately for me your presence, will be hard to explain in the story I must weave to further our goals. Go quickly and I will return as soon as possible."

Gromag pouches on the body, knocking Dalia aside.

Gromag fumbles over to the pile of body. A moment later he screams "Who mess my shrine! Ok. Gromag fix. How many in pile 1, 2, oh me remember this, good bite, um where was I. 4, 5 ..

A small colourful halfling leaves the room and looks at Dalia wiggling her hands.

A silent message enters Dalia’s head. "We need to go"

A distant blast shakes the manor knocking over a chair in the library. The building moans, and Gromag looks up from his shine of death briefly.

"The main hall is this way" Linzi whispers pointing frightfully west.
OOC:

Lots of options, you could jump Gromag. Not sure if still want to be friends after the charm wears out but you could try.

You could also walk away. Betrayius won’t be that heavy if you drag him.

Or, you can go back the way you came. Could be loot?

Oct 19, 2023 8:26 pm
Selene grabs an inert Betrayius and starts dragging him while Tassle pokes him with a stick. It is slow going, but with a complete disregard for the Halflings' comfort you move at a reasonable pace. The adventures quickly find themselves at the door to the East Wing kitchen.

In the not-so-distant library Gromag grunt "Where'd you go? Come back here, Sac is ready"

"Let's go" Linzi nervously says, flinging open the kitchen doors.
Oct 19, 2023 8:34 pm
Across the kitchen sit the double doors that lead to the main hall.

Unfortunately the massive frame of a small frost giant sits with his back against the doors leading to the Great Hall holding the remains of a shattered spear. He appears to be severally wounded from a recent battle. Peaking in the kitchen you can see other downed guards and adventurers. He’s riddled with crossbow bolts and sword wounds, and his left arm has suffered a particularly brutal blow. He’s seems to slipping in and out of consciousness.

https://i.imgur.com/CYW9Ezm.png

The giant notices the adventurers, he gurgles in rage as he staggers to his feet and prepares to fight yet more foes, this time with his bare knuckles
Oct 20, 2023 2:01 am
Octavius will lay his loaded crossbow on a nearby counter, saying "Dalia, I believe you are skilled with these. A spare is ready once you have used yours." And then will advance with his Glaive ready for battle

[on my initiative, of course]
Oct 21, 2023 4:17 am
The frosty giant eyes the crossbow nervously and take up a defensive posture to handle the advancing glaived fighter. He is holding back and glares at Octavius with the look of a tired shopkeeper that just want to go home after a long shift.

From under his robes Ralf silently produces flames and flings them at the frosty giant. The flames streak with fiery glory into the chandler on the roof, lighting it up to bask the room in a warm glow.

With the smoothness of a veteran warrior Jurgrindor dives over the kitchen table and takes a wild swing at Ralf. Missing but leaving a dent in stone wall behind Ralf's head. The giant then retreats into a nearby washroom, his frame filling the doorway and his fists up defensively.

The halfling shouts "oh Shelyn!" and shuffles the strugglers into the kitchen before closing and locking the door.

There is a brief pause to take stock and rue. The kitchen is a mess, there are about a dozen downed guards and adventures in the main room, pantry, and washroom. Of living their remains three adventures, one guard, and Jurgrindor. The invisibility fades from Betryaius, revealing he is quite dead and beaten.

The three adventures were Harrim who was restrained, and Valerie & Amiri who were unconscious/dying. Harrim and Linzi use their last healing spells to bring them to consciousness.

Scanning the bodies there are odd coin purses, jewelry, weapons, and bling that could be taken. Of note is a blood soaked coyote cloak. Oddly, Betrayius and Jurgrindor seem absent of items or anything that would identify them.
Oct 30, 2023 1:06 am
The entrance is to the main hall is barred from the other side. The guards on the other side are hesitant to open the door and demand proof that this is not another trick.

On the door to east wing you hear heavy breathing sniffing. "This the door, me sure of it" an ogre grunts.
Oct 30, 2023 3:20 am
Octavius will fetch his crossbow and move to a covered position away from the east wing door.

"Friends, I am quite poorly and would rather not take the front line. I have plenty of darts and bolts and can make their lives short from here, if someone will take the fore."

He will then lay his crossbow in easy reach and draw two of his darts for throwing.

Octavius is mighty once again! "I shall be sure to make offerings to Calistria. I shall hold the door, in such case. And my crossbow is available for you, should you have need of it."

Octavius will then take a defence position at the East wing door, stow his darts and ready his glaive.
Oct 30, 2023 10:31 pm
Valarie, seeing the situation, take up a defensive position next to Octavius. "I can assist the defense"

"Oy, what on the other side?" Amiri asks drawing her overlarge sword ready for battle "Sounds dangerous, let open the door and take it down"

"It an ogre, don't open that door" Linzi panicky shouts.
Oct 30, 2023 10:59 pm

The guards (at least the ones that are conscious) remain safely on the other side of a secure door. Tassle does poke the lone survivor from Jurgrindors frosty fury, who give out a loud moan.

Muffled voice shout through the door. "We have a feudal oath to the Aldori. Who are you talking too? Did people survive the attack?"
Oct 31, 2023 5:10 am
"You guards are useless. Of course some of us aren't dead, we don't suck like you do. We are good people who actually save and protect those under this roof, unlike those of you sworn to protect the guests of Aldori." I'll shout this at the door and then move to the back of the group and get ready with a ray of frost for the ogre. Filbert can scavenge some valuable small bits for us sneaky like (he has a tiny pouch its in his picture).

Ralf prepares to greet the Ogre with fire.
Oct 31, 2023 5:27 pm
After a moment and much muttering the house guards lift the barricade and open the door to the great hall.

Six guards stand at the door armed with bows and swords, ready to fight. They seem relieved to see potential allies. The taller one, a lieutenant by his markings, shouts "Alright, lets secure this ..."

He is interrupted as the filthy ogre bursts through the door. Lucky as everyone is ready Gormag is filled with arrows, blades and deadly magic. Falling quickly with only a few wild swings.
Oct 31, 2023 5:27 pm
The Great Hall looks much different than it did hours ago during the feast. Three of the long tables have been turned on their sides and pushed against the large entry doors to the south to form a makeshift barricade. Dishes, broken goblets, and bloody stains mar the floor, while at least a dozen bodies lie against the east wall. Lady Jamandi’s guards gather at the barricades and in front of the double doors leading into the west wing. These doors are sealed, and several tapestries have been torn from the walls and wedged into the gap between the floor and the door in a feeble attempt to keep smoke from flowing into the hall from an apparent fire in the manor’s west wing.
Oct 31, 2023 5:29 pm
As the house guard secure the room, you are greet by lieutenant Ivenzi. He is keen to know how many enemies remain in the east wing.
Nov 1, 2023 12:58 am
. He points to the filth that is the corpse of Betrayus and says "A likely leader of the assailants. He had a quarrel earlier this day with Target McTarget in a lowly tavern. There may yet be prisoners in our assigned room. Or there were, bound hand and feet when we left. The only other we encountered and survived fled without his pants. You may find them by yonder portculis."

The lieutenant looks relieved at Octavius' news "So the east wing is secure? Excellent that frost giant with the enormous spear hit us hard. I'll send men to sweep when I can"

"The fire is a concern. The hallway leading from the Great Hall and several of the guest chambers next to it are ablaze. We think in local to the hallway, as we heard fighting coming from the west wing recently" He says with grim resolve.

"The fighting is our bigger worry. Lady Jamandi took a squad with her and to clear out the West Wing. It has been too long" He says with a worried tone. "We could use some help in reinforcing her, a push in the west wing would give me time to direct servants at the fire."

Octavius reloads his crossbow and gathers his gear.

"Shall we then. In for a copper, in for a gold, and all that."

Lieutenant Ivenzi barks a series of order and commands. He convinces team NPC (or Notorious People Crew as Linzi calls it) to sweep the East wing and collect the prisoner as they are roughed up.

His guards ready themselves and open the doors to the West Wing. This wide hallway is filled with billowing smoke. Further ahead, on either side of the hall, several open doorways are illuminated by flickering flames.

"If you can meet up with Lord Adori she will reward you greatly. Thanks to you we have access to water from the east wing kitchen ... cough cough" He says, inhaling a wift of smoke "cough... I am sure we can get the fire under control if we are not being attacked"

Tassle waits by the door to see how things play out. Though the rest of you can make it to opposite hallway door, the fire is contained to the hallway by the manor's thick stone walls.

Due to the will of nature Selene is unaffected by the smoke. Fire diminishes as she calls forth the waves. Filbert plant nature reduces the effect of smoke, though the soot slows him down as he looks a bit ill

Octavius' filters are somewhat effective. Though air is ill and leaves him with a sickened feeling

Dalia inhales way to much smoke to be pleasurable. It is sickening and she feels her lungs reduced

Ralf inhales a whiff of smoke, then a thicker cloud while he is coughing. He is lungs feel covered in soot and you enter a coughing fit when you get out. Sparky fairs better but has elected to rest on Ralfs shoulder rather than fly.

This slightly smoky room contains wooden racks holding various weapons and wooden stands designed to hold suits of armor. Many of the weapon racks and armor stands are empty, and several weapons and discarded armor pieces lie about the floor.

Octavius will move to the window first, shield before him to ensure it is secure. If it is, he'll head to whatever manner of door that is directly above him and make ready to deal with whatever lies beyond.

For a moment Silene is connected to the unfathomable senses of a entity of great natural power, her spirit spreads seeking sources of magic. She scourers the room to find ... nothing. Nothing but the mundane material objects.

No magic detected.
Nov 26, 2023 5:39 pm
My friends, when you are ready, shall we breach the door and see what troubles lie beyond?
Nov 26, 2023 6:35 pm
Given the lack of invisible jerks, I say we move onwards. But go with caution because obviously anyone associated with Betrayius is going to be a bunch of sneaky fuckers.

Octavius burst into the trophy room. This large room has a floor of polished white tiles. Hanging from the walls are various trophy heads: a stag with an impressive set of antlers, a large tusked boar, a cranky‑looking oversized owl, a snarling wolf, and two different reptilian monsters.

The fancy gnome that lead Octavius and crew to the manor, Tartuccio, lies sprawled on the floor near one of the statues. Unmoving.

Two large doors lead onward.

I'll go over to the gnome very carefully and give him a gentle poke with my stick. He might be booby trapped and he was kinda a jerk so I'll be gentle, but I'm not going to rush in all save him without caution. The lack of enemies in this room makes me extra suspicious and paranoid.
Nov 28, 2023 12:18 am
Tartuccio is breathing shallowly and sports a broken nose and two black eyes. Something large punched him in the face. He does not react when you poke him.

You can hear yelling on the other side of the double doors.

The door burst open to the dueling room.

Lady Jamandi uses this room to practice her swordplay and host sporting duels with local officers and nobility. Racks containing practice blades and stands holding suits of padded armor line the north and south walls. There is a recessed area that serves as the dueling court—a 2-foot-deep rectangular arena with steps at its north and south ends. Now, though, bodies litter the floor. Eight of Lady Jamandi’s guards lay dead among the cloaked corpses of 11 Black Tears cutthroats and two dead ogres
Nov 29, 2023 5:32 am
The party observes Lady Jamandi facing off against a pair of frost giants in the open area to the northwest of the dueling pit.

At the same time, five more Black Tear cutthroats enter the room from the door to the southwest. One dressed with authority and power.

Lady Jamandi spots the party and points out the powerful cuttroart, yelling, "Just in time! That’s their leader; take her out while I deal with these oafs!"

Flames scatter off the veteran frost giant's back, with little effect except to draw a icy glare. "Hyvä on, minä tulen toimeen kärpästen kanssa"

Aldori uses this opportunity to free herself from the tangles of the mangled weapon rack. Moving with lighting speed behind the giant, ready for the next attack.

But the next attack is directed at the wizard hiding in the pit. The giant's might axe take a chunk of the pits edge before landing solidly on Ralf, flinging his limp body across the room.

The giant then leaps across the room with lumbering strides. Taking a deep breath he spews cold icing frost over Dalia, Seline, Octavius, and Volodmyra.

Dec 24, 2023 8:12 am
As the heros slowly regained consciousness, the world around them appeared hazy and indistinct. They awake in the main hall which has been converted into a makeshift hospital for the many wounded. Sounds of bustling activity echoes around them like pounding drums. Healers & Clerics move from bed to bed. Inquisitors shout orders to guards who thunder back and forth. Engineers from Restov have arrived and are busy surveying the fire-damaged parts of the manor to plan repairs. All pieced by the sound of familiar tiny voices arguing;

Filbert
".... then I kicked the frost giant and he died" The leshy chimed triumphantly, chewing some stolen rations

Sparky
"Wait, what!? You DID not take down that giant." The raven scoffs

Filbert
"Of course I did, kicked in the head good" hums Filbert

Sparky
"Right … the head. It was a flying kick?." Sparky mocks

Filbert
Immune to any mockery "No no, the giant was lying down at the time"

Sparky
Adding extra sarcasm "That sounds like he was already dead? Perhaps because of Lady Aldori? Hmmm"

Filbert
"The flaming sword lady helped. Made him lay down" Filbert says as he crunches on old bread "I accidentally healed the giant when I healed my lady. Had to put him back down"

Sparky
"Now I know you’re lying. You're not a healer. How in the Nethys did you heal everyone?" The raven says inquisitively.

Filbert
"I don’t know, I just did. Had to do something, better than fleeing like you" Filbert shrugs "Oh, wait. I remember one. I watered your master with a red bottle. That stopped him leaking sap."

Sparky
"I was getting help! Being actually useful" the raven squawks. "What do you mean watered? You gave him a healing potion? Those are supposed consumed ... to be taken internally."

Filbert
"He can drink with his feet right? No mater, much of his insides were on the outside. So it worked out." The Leshy squeals "Look! they are awake!"
Dec 24, 2023 6:19 pm
Good job Filbert. I will find you some very nice snacks once I get a chance, plus those can be better snacks. And I cast prestidigitation on his old bread to make it tasty cookies.

With a reluctant groan, Dalia rises from the sick bed and gets dressed. She quietly thanks the healers for their work and offers up a series of prayers to the Gods and then makes her way to the command meeting.

Seeing the heros up and about one of the house lieutenants, Ivenzi if you recall, orders servants and guards to assist the group. They haul in chests of gear and assist with done of armor.

"Also, check if the fifth one is up, the bright haired gnome" the lieutenant asks a healer. "Speeches are starting soon"
Dec 26, 2023 6:27 pm
A squeaky voice mumbles "I'm awake"

Tartuccio whips off his blankets, revealing that he is somehow already dressed and groomed. "Lets go, MY destiny awaits!"

He quickly leaps out of bed and strides off. Servants and guards in tow

It’s shocking how quickly Lady Jamandi’s staff have restored the manor’s Great Hall in the space of a few morning hours. Very few signs of the violence of the night before remain, and things have been mostly returned to normal. One thing to note is that the manor is still in lockdown, armed stressed guards prevent free wandering the halls.

Lieutenant Ivenzi assure everyone that "Only House Aldori are allowed to go to the West Wing. The Manor has been thoroughly swept for hidden traitors and spies. I am sure your friend is already with the other adventurers.
Dec 27, 2023 11:01 pm
Very well. We shall go first to the meeting halls, but if Tassle is not therein, we shall search as we need.
Dec 28, 2023 5:28 am
"Excellent" Lieutenant Ivenzi exclaims as he directs armed guards to escort you to Lady Aldori.

The heros are brought to the great hall that is filled with adventurers who survived the assault or others who stayed outside. Some who had missed the feast entirely last night. The adventurers companion Tassle does not appear to be in the hall. Even with these newcomers, though, there are far fewer heroes in the hall than there were the previous evening, and the atmosphere is serious and somber as Lady Jamandi steps up to speak.
Dec 28, 2023 5:30 am
"I would like to thank those of you who helped defeat the Black Tears last night," Lady Jamandi begins. "It’s obvious someone doesn’t like our plans to settle the Stolen Lands. Well, we’re not so easily dissuaded, are we? I say no, and this morning, I would like to issue formal charters to all of you to begin exploring the Stolen Lands and make them safe for tomorrow’s settlers."

"The first charter we would like to bequeath goes to the group called the Iron Wraiths," she states, with a wave towards a band of four well-armored adventurers. "The tales of your adventures have thrilled many Brevic nobles, and I’m excited to see what you can do with the exploration of the Glenebon Uplands. Your charter is to establish a base for Brevoy there after dealing with the Tiger Lords and then to open diplomatic relations with Pitax from a point of strength."
Dec 28, 2023 5:33 am
The Iron Wraiths make their way up to Lady Jamandi and she gives them their charters. As they leave the room and pass the table when Octavius, Seline, Ralf, and Dalia are seated one whispers. "Hey, ‘heroes,’ don’t forget to bring your stuffed animals so you don’t get scared."

https://i.imgur.com/vOY2nq1.jpg
Dec 28, 2023 5:36 am
The lady continues

"Baron Hannis Drelev, as per our previous discussions, your charter is one of specific importance for Brevoy. Securing the southern trade routes along the East Sellen River and establishing a base for merchant caravans and barges alike is of utmost importance! Hooktongue Slough will be your base of operations."

A dour-looking nobleman takes his charter from Lady Jamandi with a crisp bow that’s barely more than a nod, then walks from the room. He has a slight sneer on his face and does not talk to anyone.

https://i.imgur.com/PvQ1bwI.jpg
Dec 28, 2023 5:37 am
"Maegar Varn, your father Androth has long been a faithful friend. Your charter assigns you to Nomen Heights to establish a town with the Varnling Host. In time, we hope to establish an Aldori dueling school there, but in the more immediate future, we ask you to broker an alliance with the Nomen centaurs who roam the region. I trust you and your fellows are up to the task!"

Maegar Varn walks up to accept his charter from Lady Jamandi. As he leaves the Great Hall, he passes by the Octavius’ table and smiles at them. "Once you get established, I would love to have you come visit so we can set up trade relations. Good luck!" With a swish of his cape, he turns and leaves.
Dec 28, 2023 5:44 am
"And last, but certainly not least, last night’s heroes. First, I want to thank you again for risking your lives to help defend my manor. The courage, gumption, and skill you displayed will take you far, I suspect! For your charters, we’re asking you to travel to the southwest into the region known as the Greenbelt, a swath of wildlands that includes the forest known as the Narlmarches and the hill country of the Kamelands. We’ve heard that the bandits have grown particularly aggressive in the Greenbelt, and they need to be stopped before anyone safely settles in the region. A small trading post in the Rostland hinterlands has been particularly hard hit—I suggest starting there. Once the bandits have been dealt with, we will be ready to bequeath to you more permanent charters to settle the land and establish a government of your own!"

Lady Jamandi hands each of the remaining adventurers copies of the same charter. Tartuccio is the most vocal of the group and brags "I’ll have my own kingdom carved out before you all are done wrestling in the dirt with bandits!" while staring intently at Ralf

https://i.imgur.com/mTcP3tH.png
Dec 28, 2023 5:53 am
After the ceremony Lady Aldori pulls the heros aside.

"I wanted to thank you for your bravery last night, without your aid the assassins' might even have succeeded" She says regally. As a reward, I would like you provide an advance of 200 gold, plus other supplies to hurry your fulfillment of the charter. I would ask that you start at a trading post run by Oleg Leveton. This would be a good base of operations for excursions into the wilderness"

Her Courtiers bring 4 bags with 50g, 2 minor healing potions, and also a single map of the 'stolen lands'

"There is one more issue of concern ..." Lady Aldori says tensely "What do you know of the gnome Tassle?"
Dec 29, 2023 6:11 pm
We have been looking for Tassle. Our companion has been adventuring with us for some time.
Dec 29, 2023 7:42 pm
Lady Jamandi Aldori eyes burn with the flame of last nights battle for a moment, before leans back one of courtiers. Whispering "they were searched thoroughly?" which is answered with a firm nod.

Turning the adventures, locking eyes. "Let's cut to the chase, last nights attack was the direction of Pitax spies" her eyes twitch at the name "Your companion has fled the manor sometime last night, she is a prime suspect"

It is allas on brand to disappear indeed, but it is entirely possible that the crazy gnome has taken it upon herself to follow the stragglers of the black tears as well. Could you tell us more of these foul deviants. In the case we run afoul of them again, Milady?
Dec 31, 2023 6:57 am
"Fleeing on the cusp of victory?" The veteran Swordlord ponders the words of Dalia and Seline for a moment with a slightly lost look. "Perhaps for the best, it takes grit and honor to lead. No mater, we will find her eventually and answers will be had"

"Now these Black Tear are wannabes. A bunch of gangs up north in New Stetven and Port Ice joined together, so far dabbling in kidnapping, extortion, assassination, and the sale of illicit substances." She says drawing and examining one of the black tears' ebony handled daggers "We think they took a the raid job for a chance to bolster their criminal fame. It tough to get a straight story from the captured prisoners, the Tears are almost fanatically loyal."
Dec 31, 2023 4:17 pm
I would think that two attacks in one day on those of Dignity would invite reprisal from any well born house. I suspect they have woefully undermined their cause, and their life spans. Either way, such boldness cannot go unanswered.

"I have no worries ..." the lady says with a awkward pause "... yes, Lord of Poplicola, bold answers will be delivered."

Octavius scans the crowd. Many adventures did not survive the attack, additionally there are some fresh faces that did not make the party last night. Those that remain seem to be loose adventures without strong affiliations. Groups like the Iron Wraiths, Hannis Drelev & entourage, and Maegar Varn's party have left already. These groups also did not stay the night at the mansion.

Notably you recognize;
Harrim, Cleric of Groetus
Jaethal, Inquisitor of Urgathoa
Amiri, Kellid Barbarian
Linzi, Bard Extortionate
Valerie, Ex-paladin fighter
Tartuccio, Sorcerer of 'great' power

Linzi is easy for Seline to find, she is quite loud. She tells an epic tale she and the others bravely swept the empty East Wing before coming back and acting as bucket brigade.

Linzi is overexaggerately impressed when Seline Filbert tells the tale. "You fought with THE Lady Jamandi Aldori?!? An another frost giant?" she squeals as she start franticly writing in her book

"You must be the real heros!" she exclaims, drawing attention of others and more stick eye from Tartuccio

Jan 4, 2024 9:28 pm
You find Jeathal sitting alone, almost slinking in the shadows. With a deadpan tone she greets Dalia Smither "Oh, it is great to see you alive and well"

Jeathal seems unphased by the attack or Dalia's accidently heal, replying dismissively "It is not the the first time someone has tried to end me, with intent or not" pausing to reflect on her plans she replies with faint glimmer of hopeful emotion "I will go where I can find a home that can accept me, my best option seems to be carve one out in the so called stolen lands"

If a home is what you wish to find, then it would be a pleasure to help you find joy and a place of acceptance.

Alone, Tartuccio whispers "Ah, I see you have chosen wise. A king that is wise enough to see that you were merely assigned a room with that band of misfits who think they can dare to rival The Magnificence."
Jan 8, 2024 8:41 pm
"OK, what can you actually do for me that's useful and not a lot of grandiose bullshit. So far you haven't actually been impressive, just loud and grating."
Jan 8, 2024 10:03 pm
The pale gnome smiles wide. "Oh don't underestimate of grandiose, it's not every day WE fight side by side our benefactor Swordlord. Have no fear the story OUR bravery and magical might last night already been told far and wide."

The Gnome pauses and pulls a broach from his pocket "Of course I am benevolent king willing to share the wealth and glory. " He says as he hand the broach to Ralf "Rumor has it you could use extra protection"

Looking around he gleefully exclaims "Duties call, meet me in in the UnBalanced Blade inn tonight and we can discuss your application" before turning to leave

OK! I am triumphant with my calculations. If we all chip in 12 gp, 8 sp and 5 cp we can ride in relative comfort, make a nice camp, cook our food, and make repairs. I also intend to get a spyglass and compass so we don't get lost. People can get their own rations, rope, climbing gear, and other things they might want for the trip. Or we can all chip in the silver to buy a couple of weeks of rations for everyone.
Jan 11, 2024 4:17 am
Questions, Silene...
-How much more silver if we all go in on bulk rations?
-what do you mean by 'ride in relative comfort'? Horses? Horse and cart? Wagons?
-Should we have a few days of shopping? I would like to upgrade some of my gear.
-Should we consider hiring guards and useful servants to mind our stuff and guard our camp?
Jan 12, 2024 2:03 am
OOC:

If you are taking a few days to outfit you could use diplomacy to negotiate some bulk discounts for food and horses. Everyone who is trained in diplomacy could try as a group effort

Similarly a good diplomacy roll would reduce the price for personal equipment.
Jan 12, 2024 4:53 am
Combination of carts and riding horses to give us flexibility and let us pack a nice selection of camp gear. That way we can use horses to hunt and scout while on the way to our destination. It will likely take a day or two to get everything organized given the size of our group and the need to find all of our supplies even if we divide up the tasks. Everyone can help with the shopping. I will start with the horses since I'm good with animals. The horses definitely love me (22 on nature), but I love petting them so am a bad negotiator (3 on diplomacy).
OOC:
The npcs get the carts and we get horses and they get to act as our useful camp guards unless we stupidly take all of them with us on an adventure.

Dalia spends the day hunting for bargains, bartering and trading random items for the gear they need. Luckily the horse herder was really needing a guitar for long nights in the pasture.

Between Dalia’s efforts and a bill discount you can get a 20% discount on horses, carts, tack, and saddle bags.

Additionally you find an amazing deal on a bag of holding. A gnome in an alley is offering it for 5g, normally these are 75g. The gnome is nervous when you test it, but it seems to be a real extra dimensional bag. Does Dalia take it?

Octavius finds fine light blue steel shield with a boss already attached. However, with the right angle of light he can make the crest of House Rogarvia (the ruling house), etched into the shield under the paint. At the mere hint of this, Octavius is able to cut the price down to a mere 2 silver (from 2 gold. 5 silver)
Jan 14, 2024 6:58 pm
in a fit of practicality, Octavius shall also lay out 2 gp for a Simple Lock. He trusts his comrades with his life and dignity, but we may be away from a base of operations and feels that bored hands need light discouragement. Enough to keep out nosy sorts, not enough to be worth a skilled thief's time.
Jan 14, 2024 10:57 pm
While trading Octavius stumbles on a trapper that operates in Oleg's Trading Post.

The trading post is located in the southwest of the Rostland Hinterlands along the South Rostland Road. This grassland wilderness sits just outside the border of Brevoy. While not technically part of the nation, its proximity to Brevoy and relative lack of valuable resources means that banditry is relatively light. South Rostland Road was built ages ago by eager engineers, but money eventually ran out, leaving the road to slowly degrade into little more than a glorified trail.

The old trapper tells a story about Oleg and Svetlana;

The daughter of a minor noble in Restov, Svetlana Beyavin grew up amid wealth and splendor but hated every minute of it. Without the skill at swordplay that might have allowed her to make a name for herself, she was forced to learn to navigate the lavish parties and decadent gatherings of her peers just to fit in. But where she hoped to find friendship, she found only manipulation, and her efforts at kindness and honesty served her poorly in the world of politics. Finding her life in the city stultifying, she longed for something more suited to her sensibilities. She found what she was seeking when she met Oleg Leveton.

The son of a carpenter, Oleg Leveton grew up in a small village before heading to Restov to make his fortune, but his stubborn pride made success difficult. He refused to compromise his work or try to appear humble to curry favor with the nobility. The gentry had no qualms about cheating him, or even refusing to pay for work, leaving him sullen and angry. Despite his best efforts, the success he desired never materialized as the years passed. Afraid he was failing, he longed for a chance to make something of himself.

When Svetlana was tasked by her father to find a gift that could swing a trade deal in her family’s favor, her search led her to Oleg, whose work gave Svetlana’s house a crucial edge in the hotly contested deal. It led to further work for Oleg, which led to a friendship with Svetlana and eventually—to the delight of both—to love.

It wasn’t long before the couple realized that life in the city wasn’t for them, and they eloped and left Restov after securing the rights to an old fort in the hinterlands. They managed to rebuild the fort into a proper trading post before long.

The band of misfits loads the carts and preps the horses on the outskirts of Restov, southern Brevoy cultural center. Spring is pushing it's way into the region and our heros are bless with a warm day of early spring travel.

The landscape in Southern Brevoy consists of sparsely populated farmlands. A single road runs along the country’s southern border; following the Shrike River. Of note, Nivakta’s Crossing is the southernmost village in Rostland. A center for traders, hunters, fishers, and trappers.

The road turns away from the Shrike River at a set of roaring waterfalls. Past this point the terrain become significantly more wild, and the road more rough. It is a known fact that Brevoy's patrols rarely enter this grassland wilderness, despite being claim by the nation.

Travel is uneventful, before the sun sets on the third day of travel. You see a 4 point wooden fort in the distance, catapults defending each point.

As you approach the fort there is a carpenter working one of the tower roofs. Engrossed in his work he does not here the wagon train until the group is near the fort. Startled by the group he jumps knocking a set of fine tools and a crossbow off the roof.

With quick order the horses are stabled and the guest house is prepared for night. A meal of hearty & bread is prepared and served over the open sky on this clear and cool night. The Levetons even open some bottles of wine for the night, they seem happy to have adventures here, however reserved and nervous.

Cutting the pleasantries Oleg cuts in "So .... what exactly our you here for? When we called for aid we expected a patrol to deal with the bandits. Lady Jamandi replied that she is sending adventures. That smells of Brevoy politics."

Octavius will indicate, but not unroll, our Charter and reply "We are sent with the full authority of the Lord-Mayor of Restov and the Swordlords of Brevoy to seek out the bandits south and west of here up to the Skunk and Shrike rivers. We have been granted the authority to bring the full weight of justice upon them, by rope or sword if needed.
I am hopeful to make something better of myself in status for the sake of my family name. I suspect though, adventurers were sent simply because we cost little to risk much and often have unusual skills and methods that the bandits may not be ready for. We are also not of a mood to end a search quickly and return to our homes. We are here to see this to its end, ours or the bandits."
Feb 5, 2024 1:12 am
Svetlana claps and demands a toast of moderate red wine to such a rousing speech. "That is great news, the "tax collectors" are expected to be here any days"

Jeathal pipes in "We take they are not of a legitimate realm?"

Twisting rapidly at the opportunity to add knowledge to the conversation, Linzi almost falls off her halfling booster seat "there are LOTS of stories from the stolen lands of nations rising and falling.

• Happs & about 1/2 half the bandits typically make the "tax collection" trip, this has been going on 6 months
• "Taxes" are due on the 1st, you should have 1 day to prepare.

Stag Lord
• He has a fortress to the south, rumors say its near the Tuskwater lake
• From the fortress, he rules his own little bandit kingdom
• He always wears a stag scull as helmet, complete with antlers.
• He is also rumored to be a crack shot

If we ask about maps are we able to find a couple of nice ambush sites where we could likely catch the bandits on the trail as they head here to collect?
Feb 9, 2024 6:37 pm
Unfortunately the Levetons are traders and not skilled in the arts of war. They do know the bandits camp along the Thorn river, a day or two from the trading posts. There is about a 1/2 a day travel of open field/light forests before reaching the dense forests or craggy hills of the greenbelt.

Jeathal would note that "Catching them on the way would be tricky, we could hit them on the way back while they are ladened with cargo"

Replied by Oleg: "They are cowards and will run when they see anything armed. The cocky bastards are spread out when they are loading our stolen goods, best time to get them all"

Feb 10, 2024 6:11 am
Hmm it may be useful to use our familiars to spy on the bandits and determine when it is best to strike each one as they are spread out. This way we can use stealth to take them out individually as they load the stolen goods with minimal risk to the lives of innocents.
OOC:
Though I think our real plan should be to use stealth to take them out on their way in on the road to the trading post just in case there is a spy here that will betray us. I will communicatethis to party members in secret when we are alone asap

The surprise ambush does sound like a good plan.
Feb 10, 2024 6:49 pm
The trading post's bunk is clean and cozy. The rain does reveal a leak in the old roof. The night falls leaving the party alone to their thought.

In the distance you hear a faint argument
Oleg: "I still don't understand why we didn't charge them board?"
Svetlana: "They are taking down the bandits, when worth far more then board..."

Once we are done with the bandits I will fix the leak for us with the mending spell. We can be useful here.

OOC:

In the morning you will have some time to prepare.
(probably, the Levetons did insist that the bandits have been coming on the 1st of the month routinely the past 4 times)

Jen mentioned ambush on the way in. For that you would need some scouting. With 4 riding horse you can cover lots of ground.
Glen mentioned create a fat target. You have carts and cargo from the trading post that you could fashion into something.

I am going to suggest some preparation activities.
Scouting, time: ~4 hours, roll: Survival, Lore; eg warcraft, or Stealth. Double range on horse back
Craft Deception, time: ~4 hours, roll: Deception, Crafting, or Lore: eg Merchant
Watch, time: 4 hours/shift, roll: Perception
Gather Information, time: 0.5 hours, roll: Perception, Diplomacy, warcraft, etc

Also, you have 4 NPC that can be directed.

Personally, prefer the idea of drawing them in, murdering them quietly and leaving a mystery for the remaining bandits. Any we capture can be interrogated. Out in the field it may be too easy for them to flee. Running them down may leave us spread out as well.

I'll head down to breakfast, just eat lightly (toast or something before combat is better). Ask about where the bandits usually go to take supplies, in what order, etc.
Feb 14, 2024 5:31 pm
Oleg directs Silene to the shed in middle of the fort. Stacked inside are a series of furs and dried fish.

"This were we keep the goods" Oleg says sadly "not much now, they will also look in the stables where we keep overflow and the house were we used to have finer goods"

Feb 15, 2024 1:36 am
How does one access the ramparts and the Ballistae? How hard is it to close the gate? Would it be difficult to climb up to the ramparts from within, then leap over the wall?

Octavius is formulating an ambush. With answers, he will inquire with his comrades on any specific skills, spells or abilities that would prevent escape. I'm assuming that Valerie and I will be the ones expected to eat shit when it comes to physically intercepting goons. I'd prefer Harrim to pair up with someone squishy [he strikes me as hearty]. Silene's Guardian Tree would also be good on the defence, so perhaps Silene with two of either Ralf, Linzi or Dalia, and Harrim with the other solo. If Linzi is squeemish about a stand up fight or murder in the halls, I'll happily accept where she feels she's most useful.
Dalia is handy with a crossbow, and I don't expect to use mine in this fight [too close in]. I'm happy to lend it or conceal it somewhere for easy access. Perhaps above the gate for sniping fleeing mooks.
As for our hosts, I'd prefer they disappear into a safe area once the killing starts. Plausible Deniability for their long term safety since mean and violent adventurers threatened them if they didn't comply [wink wink].
Feb 15, 2024 4:10 am
Dalia has several offensive spells, but nothing to restrict movement. But I am indeed quite good with a crossbow, I do have my own though
Feb 15, 2024 5:10 am
I also have the ability to cast elemental sentinel along with using Filbert as a lookout. If we all flag ourselves as friendly with a particular mark or colour of fabric the sentinel will be able to tell us apart from the bandits and tell us when they arrive. I also have a number of attack spells too.
Feb 15, 2024 10:43 pm
The outer walls are accessed by ladders placed around the fort.

There is a load crack from one of the ballasta as wood shards spray over the stable. Soon Harrim & Valerie returns from the wall. "The Ballasta is are pour shape." Harrim grunts. "Though the one by the guest house might be fixable, it will take at least a day."

Jeathal & Linzi return from a walk around fort "Oleg, the gate won't close all the way" Linzi yells.

Feb 16, 2024 3:04 am
If we cannot fix the gate, some sort of dropped barrier will suffice. lifting or blocking the ladder on the side and rear of the fort will limit their escape. The front ladder may be needed to get up to shoot anyone who escapes. I suggest putting Filbert up on watch right away. We will need to adjust any ambush based on how many approach.
Feb 16, 2024 6:32 am
Sparky may be better for a far out watch because he can fly. Filbert is good for who is moving where within the fort. The elemental sentinel gives us 500 feet of range.
Feb 16, 2024 9:08 pm
The pale elf bring Octavius her plate of breakfast. "Svetlana insisted that I have something" she says as she sheepishly hands it to the hearty fighter. "What about our horses and carts? The horse are quite boarish and might give us away? There are pastures and light forest are to hide them."
Feb 17, 2024 12:58 am
For elemental sentinel, it a ritual. So,
-it will take a full day
-it costs 15g in metals, gems, or herbs.
-with Silene’s herb collection. I’ll say 5g in coins, and the full bag of herbs
-you need an object. The Levetons have a hand mirror you can borrow.
-roll Arcana or Occult (then we will see the result)
-Filbert can roll a assist roll
-Ralf, being a wizard could also assist

I'm dislike the idea of having our horses outside, even distant. They make for ripe targets of theft, and we may need them in pursuit. The scum may well notice the hoof marks and cart tracks in the mud on the road just outside. The carts may be useful as obstacles or barriers in the ambush, should we place them well

I take it you do not take food, or require some other sustinence? I am loathe to leave a comrade unsustained by ill provisioning.
Feb 17, 2024 2:25 am
"I require no nourishment outside that supplied by my goddesses’ blessing" Jeathal replies "I will follow your lead in this matter"
Feb 17, 2024 6:26 am
We can just place the horses and carts so they are not immediately obvious to the bandits. That way they are within easy access if needed, but not going to give us away the second they arrive. I have enough gold to cover the spell since I didn't buy anything really expensive and have few needs. I should really buy a mirror or statue for this ritual though.

The heroes have a busy preparing for an ambush. A wagon has been placed near the gate that can be easily rolled to block the entrance. Silene has successful drawn a spirit of air into a small hand mirror. Filbert says his name is pip. Oleg has placed this on the roof of the main house, which should give full coverage for people entering the fort. Oleg has managed to fixed the hole in the roof, so everyone has a restful sleep.

Octavius has a concern about his NPC companions. Where will Linzi be most helpful? I would like to have Valerie hidden to the right of the Guest House, near the outer wall, whereas I would be between the Stables and outer wall, ready to act as a pincer movement.

Does Valerie have any ranged weapons? I have darts to spare.

Did we manage to bring down or block any of the ladders up to the walkways?
Mar 3, 2024 5:07 am
Valerie is equip with a shortbow

Linzi will be up on the walkways, south of the guest house. She will cast sleep on anyone trying to run. Also small and less noticeable.

Harrim will be near Silene behind the storage.

Jeathal will hide near the main house with Dalia.

Ralf @Avindale do you want to be on the walkway? Hide behind a Ballista

Ladders can be removed and bound.

I'd like to move the ladders up onto the walkways. They can be easily tipped down for our shooters to gain the walls, but unavailable to the raiders. Won't stop them, but will put them at a disadvantage when trying to get up there.

Last check if anyone is lacking in ranged weapons. I can't carry all my gear effectively in combat and wouldn't mind lending. Otherwise I'll leave it and a ten pack of bolts on the gate sided walkway if I need to shoot escapees.
Mar 3, 2024 7:31 pm
I have my crossbow that I'll keep loaded beside me and my sling that's always on me because it's small for ranged plus cantrips so I'll be OK.

"Mistress a large beast has entered the fort"

"Ha! Not our problem, load em up boys. The boss needs us back right away, before the big shipment to our Staggy Lord" " The voice replies arrogantly, pausing "Eh Oleg, why you holding a bolt? You going to try an stab me with it?"

Indignant that she has been pushed to the ground Jeathal looks Happs in the eyes "You will die for this". Then swings her mighty Scythe to knock his feet out and stands up to lord over the Bandit.


Happs is perturbed by Jeathal taunt, enough that he does notice her trip attempt in time and is knock to the ground. "Enough of this!" He shouts, scrambling to his feet and focusing all his effort on attack the undead Elf. Jeathal easily dodges, mockingly replying "ศีลธรรมโง่ๆ" ("Silly moral" in Elfish)

Not likely the feel of the Bandit's blade Harrim draws on his holy power "My time is not now" warping the mind of his attacker. Then swings his war flail wide and low to tangle the Bandits feet

Since there's this bandit right in front of me I'll try and light him on fire by casting the ignition cantrip (but I'm guessing a 12 doesn't hit) so he just smolders a bit. Then I'll pull my dagger out so I can stab him later.

A bolt of blue energy skips through space and time until it dissipates with a bright flash in Byron Happs' back.

Engaged in combat with Jeathal, Happs doesn't even have time to react. His fate is further sealed as Jeathal delivers a mighty death blow as Happs falls. "See what happens to those who defy my will!" Jeathal screams as the fallen bandit.

The bandit engaged with Harrim, already frightened, attempts to flee. Harrim swings his might chain, but misses. The bandit it is off like a deer. Which is in stark contrast to the heavily armored dwarf.

When are you expected back?
"I don't know. A day or so. The fool Happs was the one leading us."

Are there other patrols in the area?
"Like the Brevoy‎ boys? I don't know. They too lazy to come out this far."

Directions to camp?
"Look I'll show you. I lead the way. You just gotta let me live. Give me a head start to run from Kessle. She be mad as monkeys"

Layout of camp?
"It is a camp. What do you want from me"

Defenses of camp and surrounding area?
"Oh right defense. You be too tactical, who are you? Queen of Kyonin‎. Smells like it. Ok ok ok. Don't hit. We have a bunch of towers for look out. An Kessle, she is scary"

But when the StagLord goonie's tried to rob her she took there fingers. Old Staggy was so impressed that he made her a lieutenant. So she is good with the Staglord, you mess with her you mess with him. You better not mess with her. Just let me go and she never has to find out what happened her. I'll disappear up north" the bandit sputters
Mar 19, 2024 3:20 am
Hmm, I feel it would be remiss of me at this point not to point out my dear Sir, that simply allowing you to run away to the north, fails to provide you with the opportunity to fix the harm you have cause these good people. I mean how are you supposed to live a life filled with joy and all the pleasures a honest life can bring if you have this burden still sitting upon your weary shoulders. No I believe it would be the best for you and those of your persuasions to put your business of illrepute aside and find fulfillment in good honest work. I am most sure that we will be able to find you such an opportunity in this new Kingdom, of which we are building.

While the Bandit is being interrogated the fort is cleaned up. Valerie, Linzi, and Harrim collect the fallen bandits and bury them a short ways from the fort. Jeathal and Oleg manage to capture the remaining fled horses, while Svetlana cleans the fort. You have an additional 5 poorly kept horses.

Removed from the bandits are 5 silver amulets, that depicts an open-faced helmet made from the skull of a fanged predator, with antlers extending from the top of the helmet down either side.

The bandits have not but a few coppers on them. Luckily the Levetons are thankful for the help. Oleg offers the group 12 gold for their trouble, plus all the potions and alchemical elixirs from his stockroom (two minor healing potions, one lesser antidote, one lesser antiplague). Svetlana tells the heros that they’re welcome to stay in the guest house free of charge as long as they want, with meals provided for free.

Ok people, as much as it behooves me to instigate more violence, we need to move quickly now to deal with the bandit camp before Kessle has a chance to realize something has gone wrong. So let us lay our thoughts on the table and decide on a sound strategy for retribution and victory over our naughty little band of bandits.

Alright then it seems that we have a plan. Those who are coming should gather what they require, while the others make preparations to defend our host if the worst is to happen and the enemies somehow evade us.

The band of misfits packs and leaves while there is still daylight. Linzi, Harrim, and Valerie remain at the trading post to stand guard. Jeathal comes with you to keep a close eye on the bandit scum, who insists his name is Marcus.

Despite what seemed like getting lost in a dark forest the band of misfits arrives at the bandit camp after a long night, approaching the camp from the north. Luckily the 1/2 moon was bright this night. "The sun is rising soon" Sparky notes as he returns to Ralf after an initial scout.

The "bandit scum" known as Marcus describes the camp warning "Oy, they have two watch towers for achrcies and such"

Apr 11, 2024 4:41 am
Let's avoid the archery towers and come in on the back side of the camp. We can sneak through the bushes and quietly take them out in their tents if needed. I can send Filbert in to peek in a tent and he can use his tremorsense to see if any guards approach while we are still under cover.

The towers seem poorly placed. Poor fields of view. The central one is particularly useless, it covers the camp closely, but not beyond. Were it not for these men being witless thugs and bandits, I would believe this entire camp to be a trap, so poorly laid out is it. Stealth is not my strong suit. I shall leave my glaive with the horses and take my crossbow. I feel it will be easier to handle in these woods.

Plotting silently through the dark has proven more difficult then expected. I was hoped that Silenes cracking of branches, Dalia's knocking a log into the river, and Ralf's hearty sneeze would go unnoticed. Hopes are dashed as muffled sounds and lights can be detected from the bandit camp.

Metal materializes from foreign planes of unusual physics to fly at unnatural speed towards the bandit. Unable to react in time the bandit is shredded with grievous wounds.

With lightning speed Silene turns at the running dark figure incanting hot metal shards to leap from her finger. In the depth of the early morning light the figure dives to the ground, metal deflecting off her armor.

Sparky SQUACKs as he dips sharply to avoid the spray of shards.

"It me!" snarls Jeathal from the dirt.

On the approach to the camp a bandit (Red) pops out of the underbrush and losses an arrow at Octavius, without pause he darts back into the leafy cover. Faint footsteps and shouts piece the morning still from that direction.

Meanwhile two bandits (Green, Blue) come charging up along the river bank. Seeing Silene and Ralf then let arrows fly.

They don't notice Dalia daintily following the screaming fighter. Until metal leaps from her hand turning one of the bandits to slag. By the time Octavius reaches the bandit he bleeding out on the ground. Deftly, he turns and buries his sword into the nearest, oddly well dressed, bandit.

With distained the (yellow) bandit shouts "Sam, you coward!", before popping arrow to her back and running like a frightened rabbit.

The yellow bandit is running with a bit of a lead. Also, you have a prisoner now to deal with. (and also 3 dying/dead bandits).

Jeathal and Ralf are at least 150ft away by the river dealing/dealt with 2 bandits

He is about 100ft from Silene. If you were to chase ~120ft as Silene would have to dodge, horses, boxes, fallen, the camp, etc.
May 15, 2024 2:17 am
He is beyond my reach and I am not such fool as to chase bandits into their own woods. We should double back and support Ralf and Jaethel. Ensure they are well and their foes defeated. If no others feel comfortable with the task, I am willing to bring justice to those bandits who remain unconscious. The horses will need calming. They, and any other useful goods in the camp can be taken in compensation for those the bandits despoiled. Though until we determine who should receive such, we shall make use of them in service of further justice.

The yellow bandit dodges Silene jagged metal spray, driving deeper into the the thick underbrush like a frightened rabbit.

Dalia applies emergency medical treatment, saving Kessle, the bandit leader from grievous wounds in the process. She looks angry, even as she lay unconscious. The other two bandits were too far gone for a meaningful recovery ... without divine intervention at least.

Octavius manages to calm and ready the slightly emancipated horse, they seem to respond cautiously to kindness. A quick glance at the camp shows most of the loose useful items we with the bandits. There are many boxes, crates, and bags oddly prepped for transport.

A few moments later Jeathal is seen sludging towards the group, she is unhappily soaked head to toe.
OOC:

For the bandit you can either give an athletics/acrobatics roll to go charging after her, or regroup and do a search (ie survival or something)
May 15, 2024 8:11 pm
I'll help with the group here then track her afterwards. I'm definitely asking Jeathal why they're all wet
May 15, 2024 8:12 pm
Filbert can search for useful stuff we might miss. He's good at that
May 16, 2024 1:51 am
We should regroup. Make sure we are ready to press on or withdraw back to the fort for the night. Octavius will remind Dalia that we are to bring justice here. Desperate, starving people may make mistakes, but those who revel in villainy are worse than rabid animals and need to be put down. Not only so that justice is seen to be done, but so they don't drag others down to their level.
May 17, 2024 5:30 am
Yes we will regroup, and after a search of the camp for any information and useful supplies, head back to the fort.

"Oh Octtie, if they are never shown another way how can we assume that they are the way they are because of a desire to live that way. Now if they fail in choosing a better path , once shown then we rain down retribution and vengeance upon them before we send them on to their eternal punishment.
OOC:
I did say I used a cantrip on the dying bandits to stabilize them
May 17, 2024 5:44 pm
Jeathal returns to the group and helps the search. When questioned to why she is wet. "A bandit choose to flee across the river, no doubt a move of desperation as his insolence was about to be answered." she calmly replies eying her scythe "Do not worry about me, I feel no cold."

Ralf eventually returns, bloodied and covered in mud & thorns "My bandit escaped" he says with a hint of shame
May 17, 2024 5:57 pm
The bandit camp is laden with trade good taken from the local residences of the forest and merchants. Of note are seven crates of furs & pelts worth 1-5 gp per crate, 3 crates of copper ore ~1 gp per crate, 2 crates of herbal liquor 16 bottles (1 gp per bottle), 1 crate of unidentified gnomish? tools.

The more valuable items are hidden under mundane supplies like food, firewood, and tents. From their stash you find 9 gp, 121 sp, a pair of silver earrings worth (~15 gp), a wooden music box worth (~8 gp). Additionally you take 3 hatchets, 2 daggers, 2 shortbows, and 25 arrows from the fallen/captured bandits.

Jeathal also runs back to get the horses and bandit prisoner. However on return the bandit is dead "He tried to escape" she asserts
OOC:
The bandits taken down in the beginning of the fight had been down too long. They had already died.

Is there a nice little mirror or statue n the loot I could use for my ritual since I forgot to buy me one of those?

I vote we take the supplies back to the trading post to secure them and then hunt down the stragglers. Better than waiting in the camp for them to come stab us.

Adrenaline from last nights chase and this mornings battle fades with the first rays of the rising sun. Fatigue creeps in to you mind and bodies.

I remembered you guys traveled through the night.

Fatigued: You're tired and can't summon much energy. You take a –1 status penalty to AC and saving throws. You can't use exploration activities (like scouting for ambushes) performed while traveling,

Also, you could not see a statue in the loot. Place an order with Oleg?
May 18, 2024 6:33 pm
OK maybe a nap with rotating watches, then go back.
May 21, 2024 5:26 am
I shall graciously take the first watch.

Filbert and I can go second. Should we pair up?

Calistril (February) 29th ~1:00pm

The team takes a few hours to rest after the nights activities. Looting the camp food for breakfast and lunch is found, as well as tack for the horses. The watch is able to prepare the valuable gear for transport onto the horse, with the extra on used as pack animals. The watch is also able to lay the fallen bandits to rest.

During this time there is not sign of the 2 escaped bandits. The lone prisoner, the bandit leader remained unconscious as she recovered from her injuries. She begins to stir, muttering profanities

Up and at it boys and girls, we need to get back to the fort and prepare for our next move.

Octavius will keep no less than one eye on Kessel while loading the horses. Dalia has insisted that she be given an opportunity for personal redemption and while Octavius disagrees, he will yield this to one who has the ear of the Gods while labouring. He will keep his crossbow near, and darts lose in their quiver.
May 25, 2024 4:47 am
Filbert can literally sit on her while we load to ensure she stays good.

Calistril (February) 29th ~9:00pm

Horses packed and bandits gagged & guarded, the trip back to Olegs is uneventful.

You arrive last at the trading post to a closed gate, a lone figure calls from the ramparts
"Who goes there snorts" Harrim snorts

It takes a few minutes to 're-jam' the gate to an open position. By the light of touches the cargo is unloaded, horses are stabled, and a light supper is made.
https://i.imgur.com/SbO4haRm.png
May 26, 2024 5:48 am
I will tell Filbert that he can have snacks and then take a nice long nap, but then I need him to keep an eye out for those escaped bandits in the woods around the trading post once he comes back. He will get extra good snacks if he spots them well before they arrive.

The rest of us should organize watches just in case the bandits find others of their crew who were encamped elsewhere and track us back here for vengeance.
May 26, 2024 6:07 am
Dalia shall work with Octavious to ensure our "guest" is secure and safe.

"One can never be too careful, when giving a sinner a chance at atonement. For the way back to the pleasure of an honest life, is one of great struggles for some and those who fail to achieve redemption, shall alas have to try it again in the afterlife."

Dalia stares solemnly at Kessel.

"Though I do not have high hopes in this instance."
May 26, 2024 11:26 pm
Kessle angrily muttered muffled threats, her mouth still gagged the dirtiest of socks.

Luckily the watch order had already been set by Linzi, Harrim, and Valerie. With extra help from the well rested Filbert and sleepless Jeathal, coverage of the prisoner will not be a problem. Linzi even had a set of manacles on hand. The Leveton mention that she can be transferred to on the rare patrols when then come by.
May 28, 2024 4:51 am
Let's secure Kessle in the sturdiest of outbuildings or maybe a root cellar. Then we can question her about other bandit activities and encampments in the morning.
May 29, 2024 10:44 pm
The Levetons, Linzi, Harim, and Valerie are excited about the swift return of, as Oleg calls them, the "Provincial Champions". However, fatigue of the multiday sprint reveals itself.

Svetlana steps in, calming the excitement "Let us let the PCs rest" she says calmly "We will prepare feast for this victory tomorrow"

"Ah!" chimes in Harrim "Rest, plans are best discussed under clear heads. Our inevitable end is not here yet. The bandit lord in the south may bring that about, but it will take time for news to reach his ears"
May 29, 2024 11:00 pm
As the night falls the "PCs" find themselves in beds that seem far too comfortable for their quality.

In the dead of the night, Silene is woken to a faint distances voice "Mistress ... something has entered the fort".

Awakened, yet under incredible haze Silene can make out the form of a creature. A nymph of some sort, with dark green skin, sparkling eyes, and draped in large folding leaves. With a whispered dreamlike voice she says "Hear me ... please hear me, can you hear me... please help ..."
https://i.imgur.com/qkwlQ5Im.jpeg
May 30, 2024 1:39 am
Well that can't be good. I'll ask the nymph what's wrong and how I can help.
May 30, 2024 6:08 am
The nymph's hug eyes light up at the response, in hush anger "... aid ... salvation ... we have a common enemy, the Stag Lord ... he wreaks havoc with the axes of his servants to my precious forest and fields of flowers! I will soon vanish, as the last rays of light fades at dusk ..."
May 31, 2024 1:40 pm
Where is the stag lord?
May 31, 2024 4:59 pm
A hopeful smile enters the nymphs hazed face "... south ... the fortress of a the bandit lord ... stands towering over a vast lake ..."

There is a loud thump at door of a tiny body slamming into guest room door, followed by scratching of the door and handle. The noise is loud enough that Octavius and Dalia are awakened, yet still unnaturally hazy.

The nymph continues, now stifling a frown "be warned, the bandit lord stands behind ragtag armies and natural dangers of my forest" and with smile return she says "... and others ... despoilers ... seek to claim your crown ..."
Jun 1, 2024 4:25 am
Who else is after the crown and how big is the army?
Jun 1, 2024 5:15 am
Dalia will grumply get upto investigate the thumping,
Muttering woe unto the fool who would disturb a lady's beauty sleep.
Jun 2, 2024 1:13 am
Octavius will draw his sword and pick up a dart. He's sure its some small, excited creature, but would not be surprised by goblin assassins
Jun 3, 2024 4:21 am
The nymph replies through the haze "... others, many others ... disorganized soldiers of the bandit lords ... loud purple haired despoilers stirring trouble ... many who oppose you ..."

The nymph disappears, seemingly with a trace, as Dalia and Octavius push to break the haze
Jun 3, 2024 4:25 am
Dalia opens the door to an enraged Leshy. Moving with uncharacteristic purpose, Filbert dashes into the room. Checking the windows Filbert circles until he reaches Silene and suddenly calming. "Oh, why am I here? Did you call me? Where are the snacks"
Jun 3, 2024 5:16 am
Where were you before you came here Filbert? Let's figure this out. It must be important.
Jun 3, 2024 5:16 am
I will also pet him and feed him a snack
Jun 3, 2024 4:55 pm
"Guarding the mook, of course" Filbert says in-between bites "She is grumpy btw"
Jun 4, 2024 4:25 am
So if you were guarding, why did you rush back here? Did something happen? Perhaps we should check on her.
Jun 4, 2024 5:02 am
Dalia stomps off the check on the prisoner, muttering about people using up their luck just out of spite
Jun 4, 2024 4:36 pm
Dalia runs to the storeroom, which partly has been converted to a makeshift holding cell. The bandit leader remains chained to her cot, waking to glare bitterly at Dalia.

Soon Valerie comes huffing to the storeroom, hand resting on her sheathed sword "Is something wrong? She says with concern
Jun 6, 2024 5:55 am
"No. No. I just heard a noise and decided to see if our new friend was resting comfortably and secure in her bed, she is after all our guest for the time being."

Turning towards the door to leave Dalia pauses and turns back to Kessel.

" I do apologize for disturbing your slumber, my dear. Please relax and sleep well. I do hope you have pleasant dreams and perhaps we can have a nice chat in the morning. "

Before heading off to her own room once more.
Jun 6, 2024 3:56 pm
I will take Filbert for a walk around the fort to see if we can figure out what bothered him. The dream/vision bothered me anyway so I need to be outside. We will start by going around the walls, then go around all the buildings.

You awake the next day after returning to sleep. Sleeping in to late morning you find the Levetons have made a hardy breakfast and have heavy questions on their mind.

Oleg is the first to break the silence "So, the bandits deal with, yes? The thorn river punks at least, what are your plans for the Stag Lord?"

"Let them finish breakfast at least" Svetlana interjects

"This is important, the bandits could retaliate any day now" Oleg says nervously

"That is not how they work, they are not that organized. We have time and our heros will be around. Right?" Svetlana says calmly

Jun 8, 2024 3:02 am
Octavius will reply that the fortifications here must be brought to repair, if not improved. The gate must open and close securely and the siege engines must be made reliable, with bolts in quantity for each. We will have some time, but not enough, I fear. Depending on how much we have wounded the Stag Lord's pride by defying him. I doubt he cares much for the defeat of those brigands, but I suspect it will not be about lives lost as an affront in bringing down any aspect of his realm.
Jun 8, 2024 4:16 am
I'll tell everyone about my dream vision thingy.

We definitely need to reinforce the fort here so it can very easily defended before bpwe head out to defeat the stag lord. I think with some work I may be able to make some connections to the nymph or other nature spirit's to help guide us. He is hurting their forest so they want him gone. We shouldn't delay long.
Jun 9, 2024 7:22 am
Oleg responds defensively "We are lucky the post is a defended as it is. This is a old abandon Brevoy fort. It is not like nations are known give up such things. I did my best to repair it as I could, but we are two lone traders"

"Perhaps you should have stole an fortress from the old dwarven trade route?" Harrim responds with a monotone tone "We will need parts to properly repair the gate or ballista"

Cutting Oleg off Svetlana replies "Hunters have reports such places, but they are too deep in the forest to be useful. Oh, they also tell tales of a great tree and a lost 'elk' temple. Maybe there more fey in these places to aid. Get them being helpful for once"

"Real help should be on the way" Oleg interjects "In our last letter from lady Jamadi she mention that she would send hero, which I guess she did. But also guards from Brevoy. It is just slow to organize anything in that confounded nation. Still, should be faster than disorganized bandits. There should be time to scout and maybe strike at that cocky bastard before the bandits get their act together"

"Also, we would offer you and your people free room and board at our trading post. That should give the bandits pause." Svetlana beams
Jun 9, 2024 6:25 pm
Perhaps we should take a day or so to resupply and do what we can to reinforce the fort here. Then leave the more construction minded of our party to continue repairs while we head out to strike at the bandits before they can organize.
Jun 10, 2024 6:54 pm
"Its too bad that you couldn't get that bandit leader to talk" Linzi says absently between bits "Understandable, she is a GRUMP. Whipped her dishes at me when we tried to feed he this morning.
Jun 12, 2024 5:42 am
"Perhaps I can spend some more time with Kressle, though I have my reservations on her turning over a new leaf. She is dangerous and cornered at the moment with very little hope of her life getting better. But if given the right opportunity, maybe.
All I can do is be patient and try.

Dalia gathers up some of the less messy, when thrown food and goes to see Kressle.

Jun 13, 2024 8:47 pm
Dalia finds that bringing Kessle into the yard opens Kessle up to more then hisses and mumbled threats. Jeathal and Valerie remain nearby as hidden guards nonetheless. The tenants of Calistria's faith seem to strike a cord with Kessle, particularly aspects of revenge. Once talking Kessle tells her story.

A career bandit, she grew up in the River Kingdoms. Never spending more than a week in one spot when growing up, Kessle has banditry in her blood—as a child, she was already helping her parents rob travelers and rough up pilgrims for some quick cash. When her parents were killed during a botched roadside ambush, Kessle fled north from Mivon and into the Greenbelt. She made her way through the region with a bit of luck, only to be caught by the Stag Lord’s bandits. When two of them lost fingers to her hatchets, their thoughts turned from robbery to escape, and she followed the maimed and frightened bandits right up to the Stag Lord’s fort. Impressed with her skill and bravery, the Stag Lord executed the cowards who’d lost fingers and recruited Kessle on the spot. After serving at the fort for a few months, the Stag Lord sent her north to run the Thorn River bandit camp; she has enjoyed the resulting mix of freedom and responsibility. Her "arrangement" with Oleg is only the latest of her initiatives enacted since her arrival in the area.

She tells you that the Stag Lord's fort is a big obvious wooden palisade on the north side of Tuskwater lake, near the Sellen river. Kessle seems open to more questions.

Jun 19, 2024 4:05 am
Dalia speaks to Kessle about her life, and asks questions about her time at the Staglords keep. Did Kessle have many friends there? Was the Staglord kind to those who served him?
OOC:
general questions about life at the staglords keep, without pushing to hard, encouraging her to share tales of those who live there that she interacted with. This serves 3 purposes one to identify weak links in the people in the keep, but also to try and gauge a rough estimate of the number of people there by the different names that come up. But also to get to know Kessle and build a repour.
Jun 20, 2024 6:00 pm
Kessle barrels over in laugher at Dalia questions. "Was the Staglord kind? Oh man, Castilla people are sure good with the jokes." Kessle says jovially "The Staglord, he likes the sauce, like to a point where is cripples him. Well cripples is the wrong word, drunk out of his mind he is still the toughest bandit in that filthy wooden fort. Anyway I heard that a few weeks ago the drunkard got in a fight with a horse, imagined that the horse spit at him, he has a cruel streak

Looking into the distance "Oh man, the boys are going to suffer when he finds out you took his booze that we had at camp. Hopefully the ones I like will be out on jobs. Most of his people are out and about 'collecting'. Hopefully the staglord punches someone deserving"
Jun 21, 2024 4:36 am
I suggest we ask about the forest around the stag lord's keep. Because of the nymph and all.
Jun 22, 2024 7:36 pm
Kessle doesn't know much about any nymph, other then a general fear of the fey. On the forest "The forest? Allot of has been cut down to build the fort"
Jun 22, 2024 8:52 pm
That explains the pain and suffering of our forest fey. There will be consequences for us if the forest continues to be cut I fear.
Jun 24, 2024 7:21 pm
"Perhaps you can enlist the the help of the Fey" Svetlava mentions as she brings more water and snacks to the interrogation If they hate the Staglord so much, maybe they can be put to use rather causing a nuisance? The greenbelt is full of them, trappers always say to avoid the old elk temple or the old sycamore tree as these are known to be infested with the buggers.

"Fey are not known for their helpfulness" Harrim interjects, stirring from his hidden guard post.

"It is a though" Svetlava replies, side-eying Kessle she continue "I do have one request, did you find a wedding ring, this brute stoled it off my hand last month."
Jun 25, 2024 5:41 am
I'll have Filbert look through the things we brought back to see if there are any rings. He's actually pretty good at finding shiny things when he takes his time.
Jun 25, 2024 6:08 pm
"Thank you" Svetlana says gracefully

Filbert digs through the collected loot, but there is no wedding rings.
Jun 28, 2024 4:51 am
Filbert did you see any nice gemstones in the loot when you were looking for the ring? I can make us some cool stuff if you find us some nice ones (over 6gp to be exact). Ideally you could find us a handful.
Jun 28, 2024 6:56 pm
Filbert pulls out a pair of silver earrings and a wooden music box. "Like these?"
Jun 30, 2024 5:01 pm
Dalia will ask Kessle if she remembers the ring on their next walk about the yard.

Dalia also suggests to the group that perhaps a frontal assault on the stag lord is not the best use of resources. Kessle has told us of his love of the sauce. If he and his band of unhappy men were to acquire a wagon load of cheap ale and a crate of quality spirits. He would definitely keep the high quality stuff for himself and share out the cheap ale to the men to celebrate such a stroke of luck and if such ale and spirits were laced with a subtle sleeping draft then it may not raise any alarms as the keep falls into slumber, leaving the place an easier target for a small group to sneak in.
Jun 30, 2024 6:31 pm
Sorry Filbert good effort but not what I needed.
I bet I could find us some herbs that could do the trick of putting everyone to sleep. I'll go look around the forest by the fort with Filbert (I got 20 on my herbalism check)
