At Bella's Door (DM Cayzle) Tuesday June 13th, 2006 9:56:47 PM
The group scatters -- Kendry to the family shop, Airin to gather a few herbs, Tobias to tour the town (Angel Springs, once a big city in his eyes, now seems like a hamlet compared with the fantastic Plateau City) -- and just as quickly regroups at Bella's door.
But there is no answer when you knock. Could there be foul play? Where is Bella? Will you break down her door?
Dwight d20+1=19 d20+1=2 Tuesday June 13th, 2006 9:58:04 PM
When the door is answered, by Bella, Dwight greets her warmly. "We have returned to help you as agreed upon two weeks ago. However during our travels we came across a man, Grayson." Here Dwight points to the man being carried. "He is gravely ill, and we hope you may heal him. He is cursed or something." Dwight looks to others to see if they want to explain that more fully.
Spot or Gather Information: 19 (judging her reactions)
Once Grayson has been taken care of, Dwight will deliver the scroll case to Bella given to him from the Druids in Plateau city.
spot or gather information: 2 (natural 1--bah!)(judging her reactions to getting a package in response to her sending one)
OOC: sorry to jump ahead, but I'm heading out on vacation and wanted to give Kim an idea of what I thought Dwight would do. Feel free to adjust Kim once Bella actually answers the door.
Kendry Wednesday June 14th, 2006 1:38:30 AM
No answer.
Kendry says, "Let's ask the neighbors. Maybe someone knows where she is. And if they don't, then let's see if we can open the door - but with some neighbors as witnesses, so they don't think we're thieves or somethin'. Selithe - let's check here, across the street. Airin - you and Podo want to ask left, and Tobias and Dwight - on the right side?"
He knocks on the door across the street. If someone answers, he introduces himself. "Hullo. I'm Kendry, this is my sister, Selithe. We just got back in town and are supposed to meet with Bella. Uh, right over there," he points over to her place. "She's not answering her door. Any idea where she might be? Have you seen her around lately, or heard where she might have gone off to?"
If no one answers there, Kendry tries the next place over, asking the same thing.
Airin d20+1=13 d20+2=15 Wednesday June 14th, 2006 10:20:31 AM
Airin nods to Kendry and takes Podo by the arm. "Come let's go check here first."
Airin stops at the first house on the left and knocks on the door. If someone opens Airin says:"Hello sorry to disturb you on this fine day. We're looking to the Lady Bella but our knocks remain unanswered. You did not see her leave by any chance? Have you seen her yesterday?"
If all answers are no and possibly the person in front of her does not want to talk to Airin because he or she doesn't like Bella Airin tries one more time :"Please do not shut your door on my! We don't know Bella but someone asked us to go and see her... can you tell us anything about Bella? Why is it you dislike her?!? Perhaps you can warn us young ones..."
[diplomacy: 13] [sense motive: 15 - trying to "feel" how the one in front of her thinks about Bella]
Tobias d20+9=16 Wednesday June 14th, 2006 2:20:38 PM
If there's no answer at the door, Tobias will look around the outside of the house for any signs (tracks and such) of where she might have gone off to...

Podo D. Pipewood d20+6=13 d20+5=6 d20+3=6 Wednesday June 14th, 2006 8:35:01 PM
Walking off to the left with Airin, Podo tries to look reassuring while Airin speaks to the neighbors.
Looking all around the area and listening to detect motives by the neighbors that do answer Airin's questions, Podo tries to detect anything that might explain why Lady Bella is not home.

Neighbors' Talk (DM Cayzle) Wednesday June 14th, 2006 11:21:21 PM Kendry asks around at the neighbors. Bella lives at the end of a dead-end street in the Wart Hill district. Her nearest neighbor seems reluctant to talk about her. He stands at the door to his cottage, which is built into the Hill, and does not invite you in.
"Yeah, well, she goes hither and yon, in forests and such places, not like respectable folk. Don't get me wrong, since she cured my boils I been very grateful. But she comes and goes, with no rhyme nor reason."
A female voice calls from inside: "You know she GAVE you the boils in the first place, with that curse she laid on you!"
The hobbit-of-the-house shrugs and says softly, "I don't think that's true. But don't go spreading tales. If you want her, she'll be back sooner or later."
Dwight plans what to say when he sees Bella, but for now his plans are just plans.
Podo thinks it likely that Bella is off on an errand.
Airin asks at place down the road, and when the owner hesitates to speak, the girl is persistent. The neighbor, an elderly female halfling, just says that Bella is a friend, and she has nothing bad to say, nothing bad at all. Is it a coincidence that the old lady has a great crop of warts on her face? This is Wart Hill. Why do they call it that?
Tobias looks around, and sees a small but very well tended garden in the back. It looks like it was worked this morning. Otherwise no sign of Bella.
Airin Thursday June 15th, 2006 11:33:59 AM
Airin feels there's something wrong with the elderly lady... or at least there appears to be something fishy about this Bella...
The warts... wart hill... Airin does NOT want her pretty face to be adorned by warts! let's not mess with this lady!
"No snooping around this fine woman's house" Airin says to her friends, loud enough so that if Bella should be around somewhere she heard it. "We'll wait for her in the nearest pub. After all, we have missed dinner"
Tobias Thursday June 15th, 2006 6:56:48 PM
"Did someone mention dinner? Where is the nearest pub?"
Dwight (by Kim) Friday June 16th, 2006 12:29:38 AM
"Dinner sounds good, but I wonder where Bella is? You think she is all right?" Dwight asks his companions.
Kendry Friday June 16th, 2006 1:38:53 AM
The young bard thanks the couple for their information. "I'm just a little worried," he tells them. "We're supposed to meet her. Look, I'm going to check in her house. Even if she gives me boils. I'm going into her house to take a look around. Even if she turns me into a frog. I want you to know I'm doing it, just to make sure she hasn't fallen ill. If she's not home, we'll let you know, then try to figure out where she is. That's all."
He returns to Bella's door. He turns the latch to see if the door opens. If so, he opens it, and steps inside. If not, he says, "All right. Airin, Dwight, Selithe... can one of you see about unlocking this? Airin - sometimes you've gotta snoop if you sense something might be wrong."
Dwight (by Kim) d20+5=23 Friday June 16th, 2006 1:43:38 AM
If the door is locked, Dwight works on unlocking it using his masterwork thief tools. [Open lock: 25 (forgot to add +2 to roll for the tools used).]
Podo D. Pipewood d20+6=7 d20+5=21 Friday June 16th, 2006 2:50:11 AM

Hang on, Snoopy! (DM Cayzle) d20+12=25 Friday June 16th, 2006 7:17:16 AM
Suspecting that something is fishy -- maybe this Bella is not the real McCoy -- Airin is nervous, and suggests leaving for a dinner break. Dwight and Tobias think that sounds swell.
But over Airin's vocal objections, Kendry suggests some snooping in Bella's house, just to make sure she is not within and in trouble.
Dwight pops the lock, while Podo (and Selithe) keep sharp eyes on watch.
Kendry sees the same plant-filled interior the group saw on an earlier visit. But -- hang on! -- what's that over there? Some movement? It is dark and dim to see in here.

Airin Friday June 16th, 2006 8:50:53 AM
Airin shakes her head as she sees Dwight opening the door and Kendry entering...
"oh drat that crazy bard! If I would not love him that much I'd put boils on his nose myself!" she thinks to herself.
She waits to see what happens next and looks around if anyone is paying close attention to this group that is apparently trespassing...
tss tss tss naughty naughty
Airin can see the boils and warts appearing on Dwight and Kendry's noses allready and can't help but chuckles a little...
Podo D. Danderfluff d20+6=14 d20+5=12 Friday June 16th, 2006 11:37:47 AM
Podo looks around, listening to detect if Kendry is alright. If there is an enemy inside, he might need help!

Tobias Friday June 16th, 2006 2:23:14 PM
"So, does that mean no dinner then?" Tobias quips...
Seeing members of the party entering Bella's house, Tobias moves towards the house but stays just outside keeping an eye out for things on the road and in her yard.
Selithe Friday June 16th, 2006 6:54:42 PM
Selithe keeps her eyes open during everything that has been going on and listening. She has been staying quiet as her own thoughts keep her busy on all this.

Cayzle: Hey Justin! Good to have you back!
Kendry d20+3=20 d20+7=16 Friday June 16th, 2006 11:00:37 PM
Kendry looks in the direction the creature ran. "Hello. There's a little critter just ran over there," he says over his shoulder to Dwight. He carefully pulls out a sun rod from the side pocket on his haversack, and a bag. He tosses the rod so that it strikes against the ceiling, activating an alchemical reaction which causes it to shine like a torch. As the rod descends, he tosses the bag into the corner he saw the creature scurry to. [Tanglefoot bag, ranged touch attack AC 16. See http://www.d20srd.org/srd/equipment/goodsAndServices.htm#tanglefootBag]
After the bag splats, he moves forward with caution to get a better look at whatever it was he just glimpsed, ready to leap to one side or another should he sense an attack (full defense).
A Light and a Thump (DM Cayzle) d20+2=19 Saturday June 17th, 2006 10:23:18 AM
Everybody EXCEPT Kendry, Please Highlight to display spoiler: { You see a bright light go on in Bella's house, like something magic or alchemical. Then you hear a THUMP!}
Kendry, Please Highlight to display spoiler: {You light the sunstick. Some plants seem to reach toward it; others flinch away. Most plants, of course, being sessile, do not move at all. And see a tiny green leafy creature cowering in the light -- clearly the thing that you saw before. You hit it a glancing blow with the tanglefoot bag, and it flees under an earth-filled claw-foot tub in the corner (moving half speed).}
Dwight (by Kim) d20+1=20 Sunday June 18th, 2006 12:53:06 AM
Dwight steps in through the door, following Kendry. He looks around - and notes a few of the plants leaning toward the light on the ground (Spot: 20). He moves forward further, calling out, "Bella. Bella?" He pokes his head through into the next room.
Kendry Sunday June 18th, 2006 3:03:57 PM
"Oh, sorry little fella," Kendry says, kneeling down. He switches to the sylvan tongue. "I was just a bit worried when I saw you scurrying around. We want to make sure that Bella is all right."
Podo D. Pipewood Monday June 19th, 2006 12:53:58 AM
Hearing the crash and seeing the flash of light, Podo beats a quick path to see if his cousin is all right.
Upon arriving, he sees Kendry kneeling down speaking in another language. Realizing that the alarm is a false call, he relaxes and has a look around.
Airin Monday June 19th, 2006 10:07:27 AM The flash immediately blinds Kendry's eyesight... the thumb can't be anything else but a viscious spell being cast on his pretty face adding boils and warts to adorn his otherwise fine looks...
Ok, pleasant thought no? Airin gets worried about what goes on inside, but she still feels strange to trespass in this Bella's house.
She advances towards the door, but as both Dwight and Podo are ahead of her, she can't see a thing. Instead she continues to watch the streets. WHo knows... maybe Bella will soon return from shopping...
Tobias Monday June 19th, 2006 4:05:59 PM
Seeing there's a log jam at the door. Tobias keeps an eye out on the road and around the back of the house.
Selithe Monday June 19th, 2006 10:16:07 PM
Selithe looks to the others and waits before glancing back at the house. She is worried and quickly moves with Airin so she has some back up and whispers, "I hope everything is okay."
Selithe is worried but keeps her bow out and ready just incase.
In Bella's Unusual House (DM Cayzle) Monday June 19th, 2006 10:54:32 PM Kendry is deep in Bella's house now, peeking under a tub at a strange goo-covered plant creature.
As he tries to calm the plant (with no evident effect ... the only thing short of magic that might work would be Wild Empathy), eager Kendry notices something.
Loyal and faithful Dwight, fairly close behind Kendry, sees his friend peering under a big old claw-foot tub. The tub is filled with dirt or mud, but there's something about it ...
Concerned Podo sees the same scene, but notices nothing out of the ordinary.
In the doorway, wary Airin and careful Selithe can see only the backs of her friends, illuminated by Kendry's sunrod.
Wise Toby stays alert, and sees one of the neighbors -- the guy who had boils -- coming over to the house.
But what is it that Kendry and Dwight see? The dirt in the tub, heaped high and smelling of loam and worms, is trembling.
DM Cayzle OOC Monday June 19th, 2006 10:58:30 PM
Friends,
I have a few out of date PC sheets, but I would like to get a complete up to date set. Then I can get a feel for the PCs and bring us up to date XP-wise.

I just emailed Cayzle the latest copies I have of the character sheets from all of us. The latest one I have for Podo (JP) dates back to December 27th. JP - let's catch up, okay?
You all likely have more up-to-date CSs than I have - most date back to late March & late April.
Dwight (by Kim) Tuesday June 20th, 2006 2:11:50 AM
Though Dwight was at the entrance to the next room in the house, he does glance over his shoulder and notes the tub of trembling dirt. "Kendry - maybe you should get back, or something."
Having called out Bella's name, and received no answer, Dwight steps in to the next room, and takes a look about.
Kendry Tuesday June 20th, 2006 2:18:25 AM
Kendry takes the bedroll from off the bottom of his haversack, holds it by its edge, and snaps it so that it unrolls and unfurls. He holds it in front of him, between the tub of loam and himself. "Is there someone in there?" Aside from the tiny movements of a worm about to surface, or the more noticeable moving of dirt by a digging mole, the halfling is unaccustomed to seeing dirt move. Well, there was Sam Pastna whose face and clothes were perpetually dirty... but that was another matter.
Kendry is not sure whether to heed Dwight's advice, and step back, or to remain close by so as to better see what is going on. He decides to step back about seven or eight feet from the soil container - peeking over the top of the blanket. Maybe he should put on his goggles, too...
Airin Tuesday June 20th, 2006 9:53:35 AM
Airin is curious to see what goes on inside but her friends keep blocking the door...
Oh what the %^&*%^ ... they wanted to tresspass now go in ...
Airin raises her foot, plants it against the lower side of the last person's back - also known as this person's butt - and gives him a good push ... this could cause a pleasant dominoo effect :-)
Airin's in for a good laugh!

Selithe waits and shakes her head at Airin's move to give the person in front of her a shove and whispers, "The rogue side wins out sometimes I see." Selithe grins as she is happy to see Airin has as much a fun streak as her even if Selithe's mainly revolves around cards.

Crowded (DM Cayzle) Tuesday June 20th, 2006 11:53:53 PM
As Kendry steps back and Airin steps in -- giving Podo a shove in front of her -- the small house is getting crowded.
And the crowd grows as Kendry sees that is happening in the tub. In fact, as everyone can see (except Toby, hiding outside) ... several vines or thick tendrils are rising from the loam in the tub! The roots, or whatever they are, wave and weave like snakes, menacing. They lash out in Kendry's direction. One knocks over a vial. Kendry is glad he stepped back.
But will the tendrils get longer? How far away is a safe distance? The dripping thorns on the vinous tendrils does not bode well.
Meanwhile, the neighbor from next door walks up to the cottage. He does not see Toby, who could easily surprise him.
He stops about ten feet from the front door and calls out, "Hey! you people! You better watch out! If you are up to no good, then you'll be sorry! If you are innocent, you still better leave that house alone, if you know what's good for you!"
Selithe sees that the man is trembling, and seems very afraid. It looks like he would run away at the smallest threat.
Dwight (by Kim) Wednesday June 21st, 2006 12:53:32 AM
[But - what about Dwight, who looked into the next room two rounds ago, and walked into it last round, to look around more? What does he see?]
Dwight continues to move deeper in to the house, calling out Bella's name, and looking about for her - giving the plants a reasonably wide berth.
Kendry Wednesday June 21st, 2006 12:53:52 AM
Kendry recalls the crystalline flower which thrust a root tip through his chest a while back - not that long ago - perhaps a month past.
He does not relish having more vegetation trying to puncture his skin. He takes another step back, and speaks with some urgency. "Friends, quickly - fan out through the house, look for Bella, then head out the back door if no one finds her. Don't stop to talk to the plants. Just dash through and leave." As he speaks, he reaches in to his pack, pulls out a vial, pops the lid and downs the contents (antitoxin - +5 alchemical bonus on Fortitude saving throws against poison for 1 hour).
Dwight's Discovery (An Extra Post by Distracted DM Cayzle) Wednesday June 21st, 2006 5:28:22 AM Dwight discovers that there are only two rooms to the cottage. The second is a small bedroom. It is clear that Bella is not there. There's a bed, a chest of drawers, a rocking chair, and a few oddments.
(Sorry for the confusion about Dwight's actions!)
Podo D. Danderfluff (AC:19; 28/28 HPs) d20+9=26 Wednesday June 21st, 2006 10:41:36 AM
Being pushed like a doll as the house becomes crowded, and watching Kendry make defensive moves against a ominous looking plant, Podo realizes this is not the place for him.
Making a quick beat out of the house back ito the clean air of the city street, Podo tumbles his way out of the house.

Tobias Wednesday June 21st, 2006 10:56:44 AM
Seeing that the neighbor is only trying to warn the group, Tobias decides not to scare the neighbor any more than he has to. He moves a bit away from him, makes a small noise, and moves out of the shadows that were hiding him.
As Tobias hears more of a rucous in the house, he'll see if the doorway is any clearer for him to enter or at least peer in.
Airin Wednesday June 21st, 2006 11:58:41 AM
Still unable to see what goes on inside Airin smiles at Selithe as the others stumble inside... but then they all stumble out of the House!
Airin readies her Bastard Sword not knowing what they have seen inside...
"Kendry?" she says over the heads of her friends as she's starting to get worried...

(OOC: I'm back, thanks for posting for me Kim)
Dwight passes along the fact that Bella isn't obviously present. He takes another moment to look for clues as to how she left (in a rush?) spot: 17,
He then slowly backtracks through the house checking on various plants. (Is there one present that would help Grayson? Alchemy: 25. If so he will make every effort to get it.)
Looking at the tub one more time, Dwight tries to identify the tub-vine and the little creature he saw before (alchemy: 7, natural 1)
As he begins to exit, Dwight takes one more sweep of the general housing area (plants and all) trying to determine when, why and how Bella left. (gather information: 11)
Selithe Wednesday June 21st, 2006 8:53:37 PM
Selithe frowns when she sees Kendry is in some trouble and the plant thing trying to get him. Thinks she calls out to Kendry, "No chance that plant thing got her right? Do you think it's natural, something she herself put in there?"
Selithe doesn't like this, not to mention all the plant creatures they seem to be running into lately and chuckles abit about this thought.
Heading Out of Doors (DM Cayzle) Wednesday June 21st, 2006 10:12:14 PM
Those inside the cottage see no signs of a scuffle or foul play -- except for the alchemical goop spilled by Kendry. It looks like the house is well cared for, if crowded and small. Probably the owner just stepped out, it seems.
Dwight sees many plants whose use he cannot fathom. Clearly Bella is an expert herbalist, and Dwight might feel daunted in the face of her expertise.
So everyone piles out of the house.
Airin readies her bastard sword. The sight of the naked blade and the sudden egress of the party -- plus Tobias' appearance -- is too much for the neighbor, who flees back to his house and slams the door.
Kendry Thursday June 22nd, 2006 1:12:57 AM
Making sure he is the last out of the house, Kendry asks Dwight if he can relock the door.
"Let's check around all around the outside - Tobias - you first. There's the greenhouse in back. If we don't find anything, then... well, we'll try to find out where she is.
Airin d20+8=26 d20+8=20 d20+9=10 Thursday June 22nd, 2006 12:05:45 PM
Airin prepares to say "I told you it was no good snooping around her house..." but holds her breath...
If nothing exits the house, Airin secures her blade once again and asks Kendry about what was in there.
Then she follows Tobias around the house trying to find a clue about the whereabouts of Bella.
[spot: 26] [search: 20] [knowledge nature: 10 - natural 1!! She'll advise everyone to eat some plant claiming it is tasty while instead it is highly poisonous...]
Dwight d20+5=21 d20+6=17 Thursday June 22nd, 2006 1:37:04 PM
Making sure everyone is out, Dwight does his best to relock the lock, hoping he just unlocked it and didn't break it. (open lock: 21)
Hoping for the best, Dwight regrets breaking into the house alittle. "What day were we suppose to met Bella again? Was it today or tomorrow?"
"Someone should watch the front of the house as we check the greenhouse," Dwight points out. He then moves towards the green house feeling he must know, but this is making matters worse. Once there he again looks for a plant that may help Grayson, even temporarily. (alchemy: 17)
Podo D. Danderfluff Thursday June 22nd, 2006 2:36:54 PM
Once in the street, Podo recalls there being more stuff in Bella's living room. "Kendry, did you see those two display cases that were in her living room last time? You know, ones with the cool looking cloak and some sort of weapon??!"
Selithe Thursday June 22nd, 2006 4:04:54 PM
Selithe waits with the others and frowns at this whole dilema before speaking, "Okay so if she isn't home then where is she?"
Selithe frowns and looks to her friends for some idea.
Tobias d20+4=18 d20+9=13 Thursday June 22nd, 2006 6:24:53 PM
Tobias laughs as the group crowds out of the house as clumsily as it went in... and at the silly neighbor...
Taking the lead, Tobias searches around the house to the back, meeting up with Tewdwr back there. And, then heads towards the green house looking for any signs for what may have happened to Bella.

Bella was here (DM Cayzle) Friday June 23rd, 2006 12:56:46 AM
As our heroes tumble out of the wise woman's cottage, Podo asks Kendry if all looked as it did the last time the group paid Bella a visit. Airin is also curious. In fact, all seemed pretty much as it was before.
Dwight relocks the door with no problem.
Selithe wonders if anyone else has any ideas ... and it turns out that Tobias thinks the back yard is worth a look.
Behind the cottage is a wonderful garden. A greenhouse there is made of glass, and clearly no one is inside. Dwight looks at the plants, but to his alchemist's eyes, none seem especially useful to the task at hand. [OOC: It would take Know Nature and Profession Herbalist to pick out possibly efficacious plants. And it would take a greenmage to brew them into a healing tea.]
Tobias looks for tracks, and sees clearly the signs of a lame gardener who has worked the garden in every spot. So far as he can tell, the most recent signs of the gardener lead to a tree behind the greenhouse and then stop.
Airin Friday June 23rd, 2006 9:23:27 AM
Not noticing any signs about the whereabout of Bella Airin suggest to go home and come back the next day.
But Tobias suddenly seems on to something, so Airin descides to wait a bit longer.
Podo D. Pipewood d20+1=5 d20+3=14 Friday June 23rd, 2006 9:24:24 AM
Realizing that Breaking & Entering was probably not the wisest of moves a humble Monk of Domi could have made, Podo walks down the street trying to interview anyone that could/can prove additional information then he already knows. In addition, Podo will try to detect if their is an overall sense about why said bit of information is being shared with him. [Gather info. DC5, Sense Motive DC14]
Upon seeing children, if a child gets within his personal space, (5') he will offer them some Maple and Peppermint candy -- Gift from a humble Monk of Domi.
Podo will distance himself from the group until there is no one left to ask questions of before returning to the group.
After explaining to the group where he disappeared to, Podo, will see if any of the rest of his group discovered anything useful before sharing his discoveries.
Tobias d20+6=17 Friday June 23rd, 2006 10:23:43 AM
Tobias sees the gardener's tracks and follows them as far as he can. Once he loses the trail, he have Tewdwr try to pick it up by scent... if there's any scent even left.
Tewdwr track: 17
If not, he'll ask Podo or Kendry to find out who Bella's gardener is from kids or neighbors.

Still a little disappointed, but growing more concerned, tries to figure out when the group was suppose to meet Bella. Then a thought comes that he should have had before.
"Well perhaps we have caused enough mishap here for now. Let's check in on the tower, since Fixer Toomane knows her perhaps he can shed some light on her whereabouts."
With this new idea, Dwight gives the others a minute to decide if they wish to join him, then heads towards the tower.

Selithe follows the others to the backyard and frowns as she ponders and wonders whatup with all this.
She looks to the others and smiles half joking, "Possibly he flew away." She smiles abit more as she tries to make light of the tracks that vanish and if their pointed out. Selithe however nods and will go with Dwight when he starts to leave to the tower inless something else is decided that is better.
