Sandy Drain inn 01[12:53] <@TheGM> just hanging out? studying your spells, etc.? [12:53] something like that 01[12:53] <@TheGM> and then you move to check out the cafuffle on iris street... alright good enough [12:54] I think Apollo should have just lost his memory [12:54] I did say that [12:54] and should be in a alley somewhere [12:54] in a trash bin or something [12:54] oh hey [12:54] I don't think I'd fit D: 01[12:54] <@TheGM> alright what you witness are guards keeping civilians in line 01[12:54] <@TheGM> they're asking questions [12:55] who are? [12:55] the civs 01[12:55] <@TheGM> the guards... they're questioning civs [12:55] I move in and listen 01[12:55] <@TheGM> "So you are certain, those bugbears beget all this?" [12:56] I got a 20 on my listen check [12:56] awesome [12:56] do I hear any more? 01[12:57] <@TheGM> "Yes. How many times must I tell you! My tax money isn't put to good use. You guards with all your time and authority, you don't..." "I suggest you keep calm." "Or you'll draw steel on me?" "You're lucky. If I were someone else I would." "Is that a threat?" "Never you mind! Get out of here, merchant." 01[12:58] <@TheGM> "So I may be off then?" "You're free." [12:58] do I see anything unusal? 01[12:58] <@TheGM> The merchant smiles to himself faintly and then makes his way through you, muttering 'Escuse me, stranger.' 01[12:58] <@TheGM> nothing unusual [12:58] yah natural 1 on spot [12:59] you went blind [12:59] I try to get a look at iris street 01[12:59] <@TheGM> A guard mutters, "Captain shouldn't of let those adventurers go. Ah, some other time." [13:00] I have an idear mr. gm 01[13:00] <@TheGM> Iris street is a long corridor that branches off into two smaller streets. One to the west of which you came from. 01[13:00] <@TheGM> yah apollo? [13:01] how about I walk into a street out of an alleyway and collapse in a pool of blood? 01[13:01] <@TheGM> sure thing 01[13:01] <@TheGM> ill arrange it :P [13:01] since shae is practically blind it would probably be easier to get spotted that way [13:02] can I make a gather info check to [13:02] find out who the adventures were [13:03] do I see Des and Dey on Iris street? 01[13:05] <@TheGM> roll gather info shae [13:06] another natural 1 [13:06] i told you [13:06] you're blind :( [13:06] hey gm [13:07] Do I see the party going down Iris street [13:07] could my demon part interfere with clerical healings? 01[13:07] <@TheGM> no apollo [13:07] ok 01[13:07] <@TheGM> what did you actually roll shae [13:07] 0 [13:07] lolll [13:07] 0 on gather 01[13:08] <@TheGM> o so 1 [13:08] 1-1 01[13:08] <@TheGM> alright, by accident you rudely interrupt the captain, "Mind your own, freak." He almost spits [13:10] I say I'm sorry and walk onto Iris street 01[13:10] <@TheGM> ok [13:10] do I see everyone else? [13:12] do you think a strength check would be necessary... I'm 240 lbs. he just hoisted onto his shoulder 01[13:12] <@TheGM> you see a body, humanoid, with a blanket over it 01[13:12] <@TheGM> the blanket has blood on it [13:12] I don't want to be a backseat gm 01[13:12] <@TheGM> kord is very strong apollo 01[13:12] <@TheGM> :) [13:12] oh good :D 01[13:12] <@TheGM> 22 STR [13:12] holy cow 01[13:12] <@TheGM> that's what you get for being an orc [13:13] true [13:13] I look around to see if anyone is watching, then I lift the sheet 01[13:13] <@TheGM> make a sleight of hand check shae [13:13] 21 01[13:14] <@TheGM> you glimpse the bloodied face of a bugbear, its eyes rolled back. You see an incredible gash along its chest to its stomache. The creature must have expired in a rather morbid manner. [13:15] I grimace and walk down the street [13:16] towards the west gate ;) 01[13:18] <@TheGM> any particular reason why? :P [13:19] none in particular 01[13:19] <@TheGM> ok 01[13:19] <@TheGM> lol 01[13:20] <@TheGM> note that in the future though there will be a lot of difficult communication issues between party members that will have to be dealt with the hard way [13:20] I understand [13:21] Can there be an ambush at the west gate? I could help defeat the ambushers and gain the trust of the party [13:22] also do I run into the other adventures 01[13:23] <@TheGM> there's no ambushers at the west gate... as you sit down to twiddle your thumbs you notice a humanoid dragon on a horse, with a fairy on his back, and an orc... the party in question is helping an injured man... along with them is a tied up horse, and a more rotund aging man 01[13:23] <@TheGM> quite the odd bunch 01[13:23] <@TheGM> you notice them almost immediately and realize your purpose in life [13:23] indeed [13:23] o.O 01[13:23] <@TheGM> :D 01[13:24] <@TheGM> so go ahead and talk to them [13:24] first whats my perpose in life? 01[13:25] <@TheGM> whatever you said in your bio 01[13:25] <@TheGM> you were travelling weren't you [13:25] oh 01[13:25] <@TheGM> read you bio :P [13:26] oh make friends [13:27] right [13:27] I walk briskly up to the other adventures [13:28] I don't try to be queit 03[13:42] * Apollo is now known as Rylin [13:49] What is Rook again?
