Echlhin AC 34 (Touch 28/34 vs. Incorp.) HP 70 of 191 Character SheetDire Tiger 91 of 152 hp d20+12=18 ; d3=3 ; d20+12=30 ; d3=3 ; d20+12=23 ; d20+25=33 ; Sunday May 31st, 2009 11:38:50 PM
Echlhin fails to avoid either blast of fire (1st failure in private dm post and ignore d3 roll, i'm tired). His dire tiger fairs much better and avoids some of each of the blasts (again clicked the d3... I need sleep :)). The tiger goes to attack (#1) but is stopped by the wall of force (Move to p20).
(Darkwalk DC = 20, Concentration check = 33) Echlhin shift himself into the Realm of Shadows (treat as Incorporeal) and moves into the tavern, hoping to avoid future blasts and preparing to heal himself next round (move to J27 if my math on max movement is correct).

She sees some people feeling the scene, but nobody appears to be dumb enough to run towards the fight. Her arrows fly towards Figure 1, but none successfully strike. [OOC: As an aside, I believe sneak attacks with ranged weapons have to be done within 30 feet?]
Tratain worries about the kind of damage these enemies could do and then deals some damage himself. The Forcehammer clips Figure 4 in the shoulder. And then the man is hit by Tratain's Destruction. The man who already had looked bloodied, looks even worse now. Blood gushes out of his open wounds, but he still stands. The Protector also moves to Intercept for Monthor.
Monthor enjoys the single-minded nature of his combat. Instead of allowing Tratain to defend him, though, the dwarf moves into a flanking position on his target. It doesn't help him much though as only two swings get through.
Echlhin uses his Grim powers to Darkwalk away from the alley. He goes back into the tavern where the Knights were just eating and, not surprisingly, finds it completely empty.
Both Dwight and Vedik are too stunned by the Time Stop assault to do anything and just remain where they are.
---
Figure 1 doesn't seem bothered by Monthor being healed and continues attacking, but both the battleaxe and the hand axe only hit once. [Monthor takes 51 damage]
Figure 2 is still dead as ever, but anyone who cares to check sees that he is melting.
Although only Tratain can see him, Figure 6 is starting to look very worried. He shouts, "We leave now. Scatter and meet at the teleport circle."
Figure 5 moves to R16, but Tratain is unable to get an attack in because the rogue tumbles expertly. The man reads from a scroll and touches Figure 6 and Figure 3 who is touching Figure 1. And they all disappear. [Spellcraft DC 20: Highlight to display spoiler: {Teleport} As they go, the last thing Monthor and Tratain hear is a bloodthirsty shout, "We'll kill you later. We'll find you and kill you!"
Figure 4 looks fairly concerned and that's before he realizes he's alone. When that occurs, he looks downright terrified. He manages to cast a spell in between dodging blows from the Forcehammer. [Spellcraft Check DC 24: Highlight to display spoiler: {Time Stop}
One second he is there, the next he is gone...
And both Monthor and Tratain find themselves in the middle of two exploding fireballs. Even Monthor's resistance doesn't protect him from the assault. [Spellcraft Check DC 27: Highlight to display spoiler: {Delayed Blast Fireball}. [Tratain and Monthor take 61 Fire damage. Reflex Saves DC 22 for half AND Tratain and Monthor take 45 Fire damage. Reflex Saves DC 22 for half].
---
The street is now eeriely silent, even for those outside of the Silence spell. There are panicked voices, but they are far, far away. If the Knights hadn't been here, they might not have believed a fight had occured. Well, except for the invisible wall blocking the alley. And the burn marks that paint the buildings, the ground, and Vedik and Dwight. And Figure 2's once-body, now-goo pile that is pooling around Monthors feet.
After a couple minutes, the Wall of Force disappears. But the Silence remains for quite a bit longer. And, out of the alley and appearing quite out of nowhere, is the Old Man who might have started this whole thing.

Misc Info
There is a Silence spell on the battlefield [Blue Ring on the Map, but it ends at the Wall of Force]

Dwight manages to evade both fireblasts, but still is unable to do much other than fly higher to get above the silence and wall of force. By the time he gets there, everthing appears to be over, but he remains cautious as he looks about (spot: 19)

Echlhin casts Heal upon himself after entering the inn, and after returning to find that the foes have left ends his Darkwalk and returns to where the old man was, to see if he is going to explain what just happened.
TratainCurrent Spells d20+15=32 ; d20+15=20 ; Monday June 1st, 2009 7:15:50 PM
Tratain manages to avoid part of the more powerful of the two Fireballs, but the second one he is unable to dodge at all. At the end of it he is a little Crispy and alot annoyed.
He casts Heal on Himself and Monthor if he needs it. When the man walks out of the Alley he says "You Sir have a whole lot of explaining to do. Who were those men and why were they after you. They didn't seem to have any qualms killing anyone who got in their way. I would like an explanation now."

--------------------------------
Monthor gladly accepts the heal spell from tratain. Cursing himself for not switching out his rings, Monthor puts on his ring of Energy Resistance. He then pokes a bit at the dead body. Monthor sees if any of the fighter's gear remains intake. If there's anything left, he then waves over his party mates. " This stuff is likely good quality but Me's a bit worried about the weapons. Anyone have a detect magic or a detect evil spell they can cast? "

Vedik relaxes slightly as the immediate threat seems to have passed. He turns his attention to the old man that seems to have started it all.
Bits and Pieces [DM Jeff] Tuesday June 2nd, 2009 4:38:51 PM
As most of the group moves to ask questions of the Old Man, his eyes are on Monthor. At first he shouts from within the silence spell and then, realizing his prediciment, hobbles towards the dwarf. "TOUCH NOTHING!"
The Old Man reaches into a bag at his waist and pulls a long cane out of it, much longer than the bag is. Carefully, he approaches the goo that Monthor is investigating. In his speech is nothing of the mysterious stranger of before. "These men were a Deathsquad. Agents of the Sons of Dread. Who you have recently aggrivated." The cane prods the clothing as it continues to melt, until he finds a small golden coin. He flicks it out of the mess and then drops the already-melting cane to the ground. The coin would almost be ignoreable if it were not for the glowing skull adorning it.
"My name is Vran. I was once an Agent of the Sons. The coins are cursed. The results can be... alarming." He pulls out a coin that is an exact replica of the one on the ground. "But now I am a servant of only the Great Eye. There are very few of them who know who I used to be. That may not be so for much longer... But regardless I have been charged with reminding you of the promise you made to Him and to help you on your way to that."

Echlhin listens to what Vran has to say, waiting for the group to respond to his statements as he has little knowledge as to what promises the Knights have made.
TratainCurrent Spells Wednesday June 3rd, 2009 6:11:59 AM
Tratain listens to what Vran has to say and then responds "I would like to know more about those men who attacked us, they seemed quite capable. I would like to know everything you know about them and if you know how we can find them. Also if you know anything about the Sons of Dread or where we might find them we would appreciate that knowledge as well. We have a bit of a score to settle with them."
Vedik AC 25 (13 touch) HP 214/214 Character SheetCurrent Spells Wednesday June 3rd, 2009 7:57:43 AM
Vedik nods, descending to the floor. "Yes, quite a score."
He listens to what the old priest has to say. This sort of inside information did not come lightly, nor cheaply, and the old dwarf respects that.
He reminds the group. "In the morning, I will by Alemi's grace be transformed. I plan to make arrangements for our teleportation to wherever we wish to destroy the orb. With luck, we can put that behind us and be ready within the day to deal fully with the Sons of Dread."
Plyf (AC:23; HP: 127/137) d20+5=14 ; Wednesday June 3rd, 2009 11:58:21 AM
Plyf is very happy that no innocents in the streets were harmed by the encounter and even more so that buildings also remain in tact.
Jumping lithly down to the ground from the roof, she rejoins the others and listens to Vran before asking.
"How does one actually leave the Sons of Dread and why would you want to? It takes an evil individual to want to join such an organization and to swear fealty to the undead is not something one takes lightly, so tell us your storey old man, if you have any chance of us believing you." She looks to her companions as she continues, "Otherwise, how do we know this isn't some elaborate trap, to make sure the orbs are together for therm to retreave?"
After a moment she asks, "What promise is he speaking of? I have made no promise, but I'm not opposed to helping you all with one, if you have declared an oath to perform an action."
Dwight hp 144, ac 26 Wednesday June 3rd, 2009 5:29:08 PM
Dwight nods and waits for Vran response, in particular he looks for a measure of proof, and perhaps some level of explanation before the grounds erupts again.
MonthorHit Points:(172 of 172) AC 32 (34 against evil) Wednesday June 3rd, 2009 7:53:51 PM
Monthor looks at the Old Man and what he did with the dead body...
" Safe to search him now? "
The Step-Son of Dread? [DM Jeff] Thursday June 4th, 2009 2:02:25 AM
At Monthor, Vran points as the goo. "Give it another moment to let his body... turn. And then salvage what you can." His choice of words appears to be accurate. Of the equipment that hasn't been turned to goo, there is a set of half-plate armor, and amulet, and his light pick. [OOC: I'm sure you'll do the work to find out. I'm writing this down right now so you know and I don't forget. +3 Mithril Half-Plate, Amulet of Natural Armor [+1], +1 Light Pick [Chaotic]. Also, the rest of the equipment... Dan and I just forgot. I'll have that ASAP.]
Vran sighes and shakes his head, not so much at the Knights but more at himself. The old man doesn't seem to notice that the coin is bouncing along his fingers. After all the Knights have their say, he sighes again and then begins to speak.
"Miss, I appreciate your idealized notions of right and wrong, bu-." He stops, glances at the coin and then to Plyf and then starts speaking again. "No. I won't make excuses. You are correct. Of the mistakes I've made, and there have been plently, those pacts... They will haunt me for the rest of my days. As for them, I cannot tell you much about that specific group. Little more than strangers. But they are one of many Dread Deathsquads. They are answerable to almost none but themselves. I... I led one. I will not detail what I did, but you know the Sons of Dread. I'm sure you can imagine it. And if you want to punish me for those crimes, I will go willingly."
"One day, I started seeing signs everywhere. Weird, unconnected images. If a woman was pregnant, I knew before she did. Sometimes I would see blood seeping out of cracks in the walls, but when I went to seek it out there would be nothing. For two years this happened. I thought I was going crazy. But then the dreams started... A lidless eye watching me. Always watching." He flips the coin over in his hand and on the side opposite the glowing skull is an eye. "And one day, this cursed coin was marked."
"The story itself is... perhaps unimpressive. You have all been called to defend and protect. And I'm sure you have callings that easily rival mine. But that was mine... One year ago, I was given a mission by the Sons that would require absolute secrecy for a great deal of time. Using that opportunity, I escaped and started following the visions Gargul gives me... Which leads me to why I was looking for you, the Gray Knights."
Plyf (AC:23; HP: 127/137) d20+7=8 ; Thursday June 4th, 2009 11:33:49 AM
Plyf folds her arms as he begins his likely well prepared speech on the rights and wrongs of the world, but as he claims responsibility for his acts, her defences are also lowered and she finds herself feeling a bit sorry for the old man. When he is finished she will remark, "I'm not the law in these parts and if anyone here wants to see you brought to justice, then I will agree, but instead, I curse you. I curse you o live until all the broken hearts you have caused are mended and all the wrongs you have done are made right two fold."
She leans up against the building of the tavern they were in and asks, "So, where is the rest of your "death squad"? Did you destroy them so that you could run away from your nefarious obligations or are they looking for you?"

The old dwarf softens somewhat in his stance towards the old man.
"I know what it means to be called by a god, and I can respect that, at least. I suggest we move out of the open, and discuss things further in private."
Dwight hp 144, ac 26 d20+6=9 ; d20+6=14 ; d20+15=24 ; Thursday June 4th, 2009 6:50:59 PM
Dwight, nods semi-understandingly as he has stood before a God before, a most uncomfortable position to be in given that Dwight had just awoken only to find himself dead.
"If we assume that to be true, to what end have you looked for and found us?" Dwight inquires impatiently hoping to get answers quicker than combatants return.
