"Good idea." Shani offers as she suppresses a shudder. Eilling the broom slowly back to speed she makes for the address given on the invitation.

As Jack, Ethan, and Joshua start making their way to the path toward the Underground they see Shani and Nukux.
The two land and introductions go around as the group stands at the threshold of the pass, about to step foot over the boarder of the Projects and the Underground.

OOC:
Sorry, I feel like I'm railroading a bit here, but that seems like the logical conclusion for what everyone is doing.

Josh looks at Jack at the 'poindexter' remark. "Understandable, but I can hold my own if things go pear-shaped, as my dad would say."
Apr 8, 2018 1:10 pm
Nukux takes his hat off and bows to their new compatriots before continuing, Red, we saw more clock graffiti on the way... And we didn't get a pastry. The little man punctuates his statement by plopping the hat back on.

"Pastry? Well I wasn't aware that this was part of the plan, but okay... Did you two managed to locate the Urban Mystic?"
Then Jack suddenly realizes that introduction should be in order, he then turns to Josh and ethan.
"Oh yeah, this is shortstop and jinx."
He then turns to Nukux and Shani.
"And those two gentlemen here who agreed to help me look for the Urban Mystic are pointdexter and... huh..." Jack looks at Ethan's metal arm. "And... erm... steel."

"Shani Cortez, nice to meet you." the witch offers quickly. "What do you mean 'Did we find it?' Didn't the invitation give us the address? The more I think about agreeing to this, the stupider I think I am."
She cocks her hip and holds out her hand. "Let me see the note. she demands.

"No. And you would've known that had you read your own damn invitation. It just said to get to the Urban Mystic in the Underground. No civic address, no street names, no nothing... See, my plan was to look for a building with the same symbol as on our envelopes. Or maybe just ask the locals, either way works..."
Jack then hands her her invitation so she can see for herself.

Shani looks at the note then steps back from the group. "I might be able to help us search. Stand back."
Reaching into her and takes out four miniature figures. Little purple clay goblins with iron collars around their necks and manacles on their wrists. A rune is carved in place of their eyes and nose, but sharp tearing teeth re visible in their mouths. She draws a chalk circle around them and a little rune at the cardinal directions. Standing up she concentrates, channeling the dark energies of Entropy to give her homonculi the semblance of life.

Moments later four waist high, ugly but bumbling humanoids stand where the little dolls were.
Shani shows them the symbol on the invite. "We are looking for this place. Split up, find the place with this symbol and report back. AND DON'T BREAK ANYTHING OR HURT ANYONE!" she shouts after her minions as they dash off into the Underground. Shani takes a bottle of water out of her bag and pours a bit on the four runes she used and scrubs them out with the sole of her shoe.
"Probably shouldn't let them get to far ahead. They are...not very bright. Loyal...but not bright."

OOC:
Oops...I forgot the last rule on summoning...I was supposed to be at disadvantage 6 on this roll. I will roll here. I need at least a 2 so as long as these next 6 d10s don't roll a 1...the original roll stands. If I get a 1 it will be up to the GM. You could be "nice" and let me succeed with a cost...OOC:
Edit after the roll: Cool...so I got a 19...16+3...close but still in the clear. Last edited April 8, 2018 9:39 pm

Disadvantage (fingers crossed for no 1s!) - (6d10)

Your homunculi spread out, heading down the path to the Underground.
OOC:
For future reference each summon you attempt needs a roll (in this case to summon 4 it would be 4 rolls of 1d20+1d10) narratively we'll roll with this[ +- ] Summon Creature
You summon forth a creature to assist your cause, whether they are animals called from the wild, undead minions built from the remains of your foes, or worker bots constructed of spare parts from a salvage yard. This boon is favored by druids, conjurers, engineers, necromancers, and mad scientists.
Effect
You create or summon a temporary NPC companion that is under your control, though of limited intelligence. Your minion's statistics are determined by the power level of this boon. You may assign the attributes as you see fit among the following: Agility, Fortitude, Might, Perception, Energy, and Entropy. Your minion's attributes do not affect their hit points or defenses.

"Gotcha, maybe we should pair up and keep an eye on them while you wait here for their return. Hum, any way to get them under control if things go bad or are we just stuck having to fight them?"
Apr 8, 2018 9:45 pm
OOC:
OH! I need the Multi target feat.. Sorry...I get it now. I was reading this:"Multi-targeting for this boon does not work as it does for other boons. You may use a single invocation to summon multiple creatures. For each additional creature summoned beyond the first, you suffer an additional disadvantage 2 on your action roll to invoke. Any effect that modifies multi-targeting penalties will work as normal in offsetting this disadvantage."
But now, reading again, that is not saying i can summon 4 right now...I need that other feat and then I can summon up to my Entropy level in creatures. Next time just the one then.

"No need to worry about fighting them. They are mine. They won't attack unless I tell them too. They are just working as extra eyes right now. But they aren't always as careful as they should be unless I tell them to be."
Apr 8, 2018 9:52 pm
OOC:
Lol I misread that part too, you would have had to roll at disadvantage 3 to accomplish this. Apr 10, 2018 2:26 pm
Josh looks at his watch.. "Any idea how long it will take before your homonculi will return? The people at the bus stop said something about not being here too long after dark."

OOC:
Coming from all fantasy stuff mostly, being in a modern timeline is weird. lolApr 10, 2018 11:50 pm
"Nope. I guess it's part of the test, to see if we're really worthy or something..."

"We could split up and help them, that was the point." Shani hops back on her broom and moves into the Underground looking for some sign showing her where they are supposed to be going.
OOC:
Could I roll Perception...possibly with Advantage 1 for the help of my homonculus?Apr 11, 2018 4:00 am
OOC:
Let me know what you want to roll after this."Marks" "Outsiders" "Careful" "Chumps"
Some seem bold, others hesitant. In total there are 6 of them in the group.

What was that? He asked taking a step towards the gnomes.
OOC:
Going to use learning to see what I know about gnomesRolls
Learning about dem gnomes. - (1D20, 1d8)
