"Can you teach me something? Like she taught you?" Fen smiles warmly. "I like learning." This is a genuine statement, and having no connections within the city at present, she is happy to glean any information from any source; even happier to hear from a the perspective of a child.
Mar 29, 2024 1:26 pm
Tom moves toward the others waving his hands before him for them to scatter. Once he's far enough from the real that he gages he won't be heard by the people inside, he hisses: "Hide. One's coming. Looking for her." He scans for a spot to disappear into the brush around the warehouse. "Someone was watching her house, it's possible they followed--will know we're here."

Hearing Tom’s curt warning, Fen wastes no time in jumping into protective mode. "Anwyn, let’s ride kitty! Is fun!" The half-orc nudges Oshgal over to her feet, swings herself up over the feline’s back, and holds a hand out to Anwyn. "I hold you safe, kitty does rides all the time," she assures, hoping to ease any nervousness the girl might have over the sudden change.
Once astride, Fen plans on wrapping her cloak around the child in front of her to keep her securely tight against her own body, as well as provide some level of concealment as Oshgal creeps backwards into the shade of an alley to hide.

Crow took Tom's evidence as gospel, drawing his rapier, he crept up to the door indicated prepared for a plunging attack.

There is a noise from beyond the door and it opens inward to admit a man wearing leather armor and a shortsword. He is caught b y complete surprise.

Crow had trained with the paladins just about every day of his life since his mother left him at the Halls of Justice. But he had never blooded his sword. He felt queasy, unsure and fool hardy. But thinking about how they had already used violence - the threat to his friends, to Anwyn. It gave a bloody certainty to the necessity of violence. Crow leaps down upon the would-be kidnapper and strikes to show he was ready to take this man's life.

When a rake hits an opponent and deals sneak attack damage, she can forgo 1d6 points of that damage and make a free Intimidate check to demoralize the foe. For every additional 1d6 points of sneak attack damage she forgoes, she receives a +5 circumstance bonus on this check.
This ability replaces trapfinding.

[ +- ] Intimidate to Demoralize
Demoralize Opponent
You can use this skill to cause an opponent to become shaken for a number of rounds. This shaken condition doesn’t stack with other shaken conditions to make an affected creature frightened. The DC of this check is equal to 10 + the target’s Hit Dice + the target’s Wisdom modifier.
Success: If you are successful, the target is shaken for one round. This duration increases by 1 round for every 5 by which you beat the DC. You can only threaten an opponent this way if it is within 30 feet and can clearly see and hear you. Using demoralize on the same creature only extends the duration; it does not create a stronger fear condition.
Fail: The opponent is not shaken.
Action Demoralizing an opponent is a standard action.
Retry? You can attempt to intimidate an opponent again, but each additional check increases the DC by +5. This increase resets after one hour has passed.

Shaken
A shaken character takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks. Shaken is a less severe state of fear than frightened or panicked.

The man grunts and staggers backward as the blade enters his body. He is still standing but is clearly badly injured. From inside the warehouse, you can hear other voices.
"What in the Nine Hells?" a female voice asks aloud from within.
"Ambush!" a male answers.
"It's those kids! Get them!" another male voice says.

Tom moves to where he has a clear view of the doorway where Crow has ambushed their foe. He lays down trying to remain under cover in the brush.
He readies his crossbow and trains it on the warehouse exit, he will delay his action and fire when another enemy attempts to exit the building.

It has been pointed out to me that Gern is not with the group, but Tarna is, so I will replace Gern with her in the initiative order. That being said...

The second man draws his weapon and confronts Tarna at the doorway. Steel rings on steel as she parries his blow.

As the second man appears in the doorway, swinging at Tarna; Tom swallows, takes aim and fires.
(His father had made him take the bow with him after he'd reported the threats they'd received. Tom knows he's a fair shot at stationary targets, though he's never been in anything like a real fight. If nothing else hopefully he distracts the target enough to aid the paladin.)

Male 1 tries to blink his vision clear. He can make out basic shapes, but not much else, and he stabs blindly at Crow, missing by several feet. Tarna takes advantage of the moment by launching an attack of her own with the flat of her blade, striking him with a glancing blow as he twists and turns trying to clear his eyes.

Crow reaches for his coinpurse, it was a solid leather pouch of pennies, and the handle was a spring. A less-lethal weapon, not unlike a cudgel. Shifting in tandem with Tarna, to gain advantageous position. Adrenaline coursed through Crow, the steel taste and bitter cold at what he had just done. But there was no time to think. He slapped the man across the neck with the blackjack attempting to knock him out or scare him into submission. "It's your life to waste. Surrender we have the better of you!"

Crow's words fall on deaf ears as his coin purse makes contact with the base of the man's skull and he drops like a stone, unconscious.
"Good work!" she says, checking for signs of life. "The temple has taught you well. Help me tie him up."

"High Praise from a Paladin of the Maimed God." Crow replied weakly. He felt sick. "I never killed a person before." He panted and scrubbed the blood off his rapier on the unconcious man's clothes, sheathing it he cast a wary eye on his surroundings. "There was a woman. Though I suspect she has fled."
Having some experience with ropes being a chondathan, Crow laced the ropes over the thumbs and behind the wrists. He knew how to escape a slave's binding, that made him eoujly wary on how to restrain a captive.
