Rowhouses --- Jim C Thursday March 22nd, 2012 6:05:30 PM
The group sets off for the address given to them by Ed. Once it's learned that it's another one of a set of rowhouses much like most in Hook City, Zeoll goes to work. First he observes the birds and see's a falcon kill a pigeon in midair and carry it off. With that tidbit of info, he takes Beltrin and Yondrim with him as he goes door to door asking about the inhabitant of the address they were given. All he finds out after three hours is that the lady that lives there is very quiet, never bothers anyone and never has any callers. As the hours pass by during his interviews, nothing happens on the lane in question as the rest of the group stake it out. Smoke from nearby chimneys puff here and there--probably getting ready to cook the evening meal, or in the case of Halflings, supper, which is just two hours before dinner.
Zeoll returns to share his findings, which are meager, and the lane remains quiet except for a few travelers who do not stop at any of the doors along the lane.

"Well, we could stake it out, but if their neighbors say they're quiet and rarely have visitors it's unlikely we'll learn much in a few hours. Who's for just knocking and asking some questions?"
Beltrin (Keith) AC: 18/15/18 HP: 42/56 CMD: 20 Spells Thursday March 22nd, 2012 8:54:32 PM "Either we're following a false trail, or our quarry is very good at hiding himself. Perhaps knocking is the best course of action now...."
Alexi AC 25 Tch 12 Ffted 22 HP 66/66 CMD 22 Thursday March 22nd, 2012 10:11:03 PM "I'm not surprized that nothing's occured in three hours. A good stakeout is no less than 24 hours, and a bag of donuts," Alexi quips.
"Interesting to know that a lady lives here. Yet I was under the impression that the one that left the address with Ed was not a lady. If no one has seen anyone but a lady here, yet someone else is handing out this address nilly-willy, then the address is a decoy, or something is fishy about this lady."

"I think knocking would be our best choice. This does not look to be an area accustomed to violence and we should try to keep it take way."
Zeoll (HP17 of 35, AC22, CMD17) Friday March 23rd, 2012 5:07:11 PM
Well, Zeoll is not convinced that knocking on the door is the best answer, and usually he is in favor of being the one to knock, but since he is flying and invisible, he figures he has an opportunity.
So no dilly dallying!
If someone else goes to knock on the door, Zeoll will fly up to peek in the windows. He also keeps back enough so he can keep the door in sight and see who answers it.

Why should this neighborhood get any better treatment? But knock away anyway. At least we can say we followed our standard procedures. While we knock and distract the occupants, Zeol can go peeking in the windows."
When given the signal that Zeol is ready, and everyone else is ready, Alexi gives the door several hard, loud raps.

The rogue looks over the building. Agreed, though my guess is that a very quiet lady is going to answer the door, I'd be prepared to check her motives when she tells us she's never heard of the guy we are looking for.
1187 Hunterwasser --- Jim C Saturday March 24th, 2012 1:45:13 AM
Rapping loudly on the door, Alexi hears nothing in response. There are no exterior windows to the lane and after waiting some time, nothing happens.
Beriothian (Will)-- AC:22/16/16 HP:46/57 CMD = 22 Saturday March 24th, 2012 11:10:56 AM

Alexi AC 25 Tch 12 Ffted 22 HP 66/66 CMD 22 Saturday March 24th, 2012 8:31:25 PM
OOC: all houses we've been too have an exterior wall that encloses a courtyard then the house on the other side. Is this one like that or is this door Alexi just knocked on the actual front door to the house proper?

Bosk looks at the building and wonder's if the Assassin is taunting them by staying at a place on "Hunter road. If we're out of ideas I can cast detect magic and use my pearl of power to recall detect evil and cast that again. Hopefully the results will be more pleasant than the last time. Just remember that casting these spells will make out presence a bit obvious.
ooc: If cast, Bosk will make sure no one is around to get offended or misinterpret his actions :)
1187 Hunterwasser --- Jim C Monday March 26th, 2012 1:24:01 AM
Zane goes to check it out and comes back later and shares that there is no backdoor, just another residence. Memories of De Rais pop up, but looking at this neighborhood, one would suspect that this is a simple two story, two bedroom rowhouse for a middle-class citizen.

A grim image flashes through Beriothian's mind You know, there is chance that anyone living here was killed by the same maniac. Does anyone have a sense of small keen enough that they would be able to detect the stench of a dead body from out here?

Restlin decides to try and open the door.
He does so with little to know warning, deciding he'd rather not get talked out of it. He will, however, stand to the side lest anything come rushing out.
Zeoll (HP17 of 35, AC22, CMD17) Monday March 26th, 2012 3:49:19 PM
Since there seems to be no way in other than the door, Zeoll lands urges his friends to open the door.

ooc: I'll pick the lock if that's what the group wants, but can we get a ruling as to whether this would be covered by our letter
DM Jim: unless you want to go find Inspector Aulander and ask him, you're going to have to go on what little info you've already been given.
Zeoll (HP17 of 35, AC22, CMD17) Tuesday March 27th, 2012 8:40:58 AM
"Go ahead, Berri! Unlock the doorr!"
Zeoll uses a bardic Inspire Competence to give Beri a +2 on his unlocking check.
He sings, "Pick, pick, pick the lock behind which waits the assassin!"

Unable to help his friends bypass the door without damaging it, and sure that other members of the group can force the door more effectively, Beltrin waits to hear from Zeoll whether he sees anything of interest through the windows.
Zeoll (HP17 of 35, AC22, CMD17) Wednesday March 28th, 2012 6:01:10 AM

With a small click and no trap being triggered, which may totally multilate Beri, the door is unlocked. Inside there is a hallway with a door to the left, more than likely a quarter-bath, a doorway to the right that more than likely leads to the kitchen and at the end of the short hallway, the living room. Of particular note is a ladies foot sticking out of the kitchen doorway at floor level.

"The walls aren't covered in blood. This is a step in the right direction..." Restlin peeks his head in. Seeing nothing alarming other than a woman's foot, he steps in and checks it out.

Zeoll says, "Hold on!" since he is still flying and invisible, he floats over to check things out.
His perception check is a 20. He flares his nostrils to see if he smells any creatures nearby. He advances to the fallen lady and looks around.

Alexi waits for Zeol's recon sweep.
1187 Hunterwasser --- Jim C Thursday March 29th, 2012 12:19:27 PM
Squeezing past Restlin, Zeoll sniffs the air and doesn't smell anything unusual. When he reaches the kitchen he see's a fairly young lady laying facedown on the kitchen floor. A large pool of blood around her neck area where her throat has been cut and a smashed tea cup on the floor in front of her. A casual glance through the open wall into the living room reveals that place has been throughly searched through as the place has been trashed.

"But we should increase our vigilance there. We need to add some intruder alert spells and permanent See Invisible spells in every room."
"This murderer is looking for something. Can anyone think of what it could be? Does one of us have it?"
OOC: honestly folks, I've already forgotten why the first one's were killed. :}
Zeoll (HP17 of 35, AC22, CMD17) Thursday March 29th, 2012 5:39:23 PM
Zeoll reminds Alexi that this all started with the sophisticated assassination of our old friend, Heather Brodery. We went to see our old friend Twice for advice on assassins (seeing as he knows the underworld) and found his mom's school for girls also assassinated by someone with access to mid-level magic. We tracked down a bead from the Brodery death scene to this address, and have found more death.
That is all.
Zane Stormfront AC 26 CMD 22 HP 48/50 Thursday March 29th, 2012 6:50:59 PM "I think the guards are going to get upset with our supplying dead bodies for them, even if we are only just finding them laying around."

Gingerly touching the body to feel the warmth of the body; smearing the blood to determine how congealed it has become; and finally checking the rigidity of the body by lifting her hand and arm, Bosk is astonished to find that his woman had been slain about 30 minutes before the group entered the house--which means she was slain while the group was watching the house. The upstairs remains unsearched.

Bosk quickly pulls five 1lb sacks of flour out of his bag and hands them out to the group. Anyone good at tracking or scent, grab a bag. These should help to make the murder easier to see if he is visible, and make sure you check the ceiling.

Zeoll zooms around as the rest ready bags of flour, and Bosk waving his sword around dangerously. As Zeoll zeroes in on the stairs, he notes the scent of another unfamiliar to him. It smells of decay and his nose leads him back to the fireplace, which has no fire burning at the moment.
Zeoll (HP17 of 35, AC22, CMD17) Friday March 30th, 2012 12:57:29 PM
Zeoll tells his friends what he has found, including the decaying smell. Maybe this thing is undead?
Or maybe he is masking his scent with dead meat?
He flies outside and up to the chimney, smelling for recent passage of people. If his scent detects an actual invisible creature within scent range (30 ft usually), he is ready to cast his Faerie Fire spell to illuminate them.

Looking up the chimney, Beltrin see's nothing unusual. Restlin looks about the downstairs and can't seem to find anything in the mess that piques his attention. All the while Bosk climbs up to the edge of the roof, the steep pitch up to the chimney looks very perilous and with all his weight, the clay shingles could break very easily--sending him falling to his death, or at least in a lot of pain. The upstairs still remains unsearched.
Beriothian (Will)-- AC:22/16/16 HP:46/57 CMD = 22 d20+12=25 ; Monday April 2nd, 2012 8:21:35 PM Well, I guess we can't avoid it any longer, let's take a look upstairs. When they return from their other investigations Beri will go upstairs with the others and scout around.

OOC: If we take the DM's word AS IS, loosing the scent at the top of the chimney means he's gone, since if he had taken to travers the roof, the scent would lead across the shingles. But i've been wrong in the past.... Or, as said by another, could be a fasle trail.
IC: Alexi follows upstairs to help look around. Aid Another Perception DC10 = 13, add another +2 to the best Perception check.
Zane Stormfront AC 26 CMD 22 HP 48/50 Tuesday April 3rd, 2012 12:06:34 AM "Might'n someone who exited via the chimney just simply fly off into the distance? That would make any trail left behind simply end at the top, right?"

"Well, that makes sense, Zane, but it would leave us up the proverbial creek as far as finding this psychopath, so let's hope he's upstairs about to attack Beri..."
That said, the plucky young wizard heads up the stairs...
1187 Hunterwasser --- Jim C Tuesday April 3rd, 2012 12:18:23 PM
Checking the upstairs, and totally not trying to be stealthy about it, Beri and the rest find that there are two bedrooms and a bathroom. Both bedrooms have been trashed, but the bathroom is fairly untouched. Paintings have been taken off the walls and all have been scraped to reveal the canvas below--some have even been cut.
In the bathroom, a small dish sits near the commode. In it are twelve beads, all nearly identical to the bed found in Heather Brody's house. A black thread, snapped in half, sits on top.
It should be noted, Beri has not searched the downstairs, unless I missed that post
Alexi AC 25 Tch 12 Ffted 22 HP 66/66 CMD 22 Tuesday April 3rd, 2012 5:49:03 PM
OOC: looking at past posts, looks like the only place downstairs that missed any searching or sniffing is the quarter-bath room. All other rooms at least got sniffed good, if not 'thoroughly' searched, but:
Mon Apr 2nd "Restlin looks about the downstairs and can't seem to find anything in the mess that piques his attention. All the while Bosk climbs up to the edge of the roof,..." should even cover the bathroom, right?
Bosk AC: (26)/13/(24) +1 added for haste CMD:21 HP 53 of 55 Spells Tuesday April 3rd, 2012 8:12:25 PM

Zane will take up the backdoor, being large should cover it nicely. He'll stay there unless called for.
1187 Hunterwasser --- Jim C Tuesday April 3rd, 2012 9:09:23 PM
Returning to the downstairs, his life still in tact, Beri notices a small crumpled up piece of paper amid a loose pile of correspondance. Unraveling it he see's it a final notice bill from an Eagle Eye secure storage company. It informs the owner, Lanice Lorris, of a past due balance of 100gp towards storage container 13a. If the bill is not paid in full immediately, the contents will be auctioned off. The day and time of the auction are today in about 1 hour. It will take you about 45 minutes to walk there.
Beriothian (Will)-- AC:22/16/16 HP:46/57 CMD = 22 Tuesday April 3rd, 2012 9:22:03 PM Hey guys, looks like we missed something down here. We need to head out as soon as you're done searching, we've got a very thin window to check out this lead before we lose it.

"I say we go for it. We can let a guard know to check the rest of this place out in the mean time."
Alexi AC 25 Tch 12 Ffted 22 HP 66/66 CMD 22 Tuesday April 3rd, 2012 11:18:50 PM
Alexi quickly writes a note 'Dead Resident resides here. Please call authorities. If you are an Authority, you saved yourself the trouble of calling yourself.'
He weighs it down with a rock right in front of the door as they leave.
"Let's go find this storage place. I can't afford to be the highest bidder on whatever's inside."
Bosk AC: (26)/13/(24) +1 added for haste CMD:21 HP 53 of 55 Spells Tuesday April 3rd, 2012 11:26:04 PM It might be wiser to split up and have part of the group search the house and the other part check on the storage. It would be wise not to upset the authorities of Hook City and further, and the murder may still be in the house.
Beltrin (Keith) AC: 18/15/18 HP: 42/56 CMD: 20 Spells Wednesday April 4th, 2012 12:11:52 AM "Well, we certainly need to report this murder to the authorities. But if we do that right away, I'm sure that they'll want to question all of us about the circumstances that we found, just like they did last time. And unfortunately, we don't have time for that if we're going to make the auction. One person has already died from our over-cautiousness, we need to move quickly and decisively here. I think that we should all go together to the auction. Alexi's note is a good start, perhaps we can find a runner as well."
Beltrin scribbles a note with the address of this house and a statement that a violent crime has occurred there. When (if?) the Iron Adventurers leave the house, he will try to find an idle youth on the street and pay him a gold piece to deliver it to the nearest guardsman.

Yondrim will head off to the storage facility with the others when ready. On the way, he pratices saying "Yeeep" in an annoying fashion to prep for the possible auction.
Zeoll (HP17 of 35, AC22, CMD17) Wednesday April 4th, 2012 5:04:47 PM
Zeoll agrees that the auction is the place to be! He is glad he has a lot of cash and chits on hand.

Alexi looks at Yondrin. "Yeeep? Are your sure? What if that's some slang word that insults the auctioneer?" and he slaps Yondrin on the shoulder.
Beltrin (Keith) AC: 18/15/18 HP: 42/56 CMD: 20 Spells Thursday April 5th, 2012 2:10:17 AM "Don't auctioneers only understand things said as fast as possible? We might need a haste spell just so that our ears can keep up."

"We have an hour to pay the bill before it goes to auction. We should probably just do that..."
Eagle Eye Secure Storage--- Jim C Thursday April 5th, 2012 9:30:10 PM
The group races to the storage company, intent on getting there before the bidding begins and narrowly make it as the auctioneer finishes his introduction. "...when the storage unit is opened, you have 5 minutes to inspect the contents. You cannot go into the unit; you cannot touch anything in the unit and there is no spellcasting alllowed on the storage grounds. If you are caught spellcasting or using a magic item, you will be escorted off the premises by security. Gold is king, chits work too, highest bidder wins it all!" The auctioneer then motions to one of the guards, of which there are three, to open the gates. The group along with about 30 other bidders enter the grounds and go to the first row of storage units--it is not unit 13a. A red lock and wire is wrapped around the locking clasp. The wire is cut and the lock is removed with a master key. When the door is opened upwards, it reveals a plethora of household goods and boxes. This unit and the several after it are all pretty much the same--the lives of people on a downward spiral that couldn't even afford to keep their common items from being taken from them.
When unit 13a is opened, it's contents viewable from the outside look to be: a bed and frame; dresser drawer; chest drawer; 5 chairs and a dining table; two chests; several boxes and more in the back under sheets that cannot be determined at this time. Bidding starts at 100gp and rapidly rises to 400gp and falters, with the highest bid so far going to a man wearing all black clothing. "Do I hear 450gp?"

"If therre is anything to know about this stuff, I know it," says Zeoll to his mates confidently.
When the bidding starts, Zeoll gets excited. He shouts, "One Thousand Gold Pieces!"

He spends the time during the auction focusing on the other prospective buyers, especially the man in black that appears to be most interested in the items.

Eagle Eye Secure Storage--- Jim C Friday April 6th, 2012 12:49:17 AM "We got a thousand! Do I hear 1100?"
"Yuuuup!" says the man in black, raising it to 1100gp for the locker.
Eagle Eye Secure Storage--- Jim C Friday April 6th, 2012 2:49:23 AM "Hold on!" says one of the guards, "He's using magic!" pointing to Zeoll. The auctioneer shakes his head and rescinds the last offer. "Some people.... the bid is back to 400gp to the man in black!"
Two of the guards take Zeoll by the arms and say, "You're not welcome here anymore. Let's go!"
It takes a standard action to use a domain power, to me that means you're using some sort of magic and can be detected by a spell.
Does Zeoll go or try to stay?
Zeoll (HP17 of 35, AC22, CMD17) d20+16=29 ; Friday April 6th, 2012 5:51:46 AM
[OOC: Zeoll's Memory SubdomainRecall power is a supernatural ability that requires a touch and a standard action. Note that per the rules, using a supernatural ability is not spell-like and does not provoke attacks of opportunity. Clearly not a spell.]
Zeoll calmly remains seated. "Excuse me, the gentleman in charrge clearrly stated that his prrohibition was on spellcasting and magic item use. I did not cast a spell. I did not use a magic item. I have not brroken the rrules! If we do not obey the rrules, we arre surrely barrbarrians. If we crreate new rrules on a whim when the old ones do not please us, then we arre surrely tyrrants. I appeal to yourr sense of fairrness and decency! You have no grrounds on which to expel me!"
Zeoll pauses and smiles gently. "Howeverr, in a spirrit of frriendliness, I would be pleased to prromise not to do it again."
Zeoll's attempt to argue on his own behalf is backed up by a natural Diplomacy check of 29, made without the assistance of his magic circlet of persuasion.
OOC to Alexi: Who says it's increments of 100? The auctioneer just tried to raise it by 50. :-)
OOC to patient DM Jim: Any result on that knowledge check? :-)
Eagle Eye Secure Storage--- Jim C Friday April 6th, 2012 12:12:57 PM ooc:Supernatural abilities are magical but not spell-like
The auctioneer looks to the guard and raises his eyebrows, the guard replies, "He's using some sorta magic, I'm not sure what kind, but it's magic." The auctioneer nods and says to Zeoll, "We're not wizards here, we don't have time to investigate every use of magic. I'm pretty sure everyone here understood that no magic is allowed--and people who try to find loopholes in the rules aren't welcome. Good day sir." The auctioneer motions for the guards to escort Zeoll off the premises. "Come along sir, this way." Zeoll is ushered off the premises.
Knowledge check: everything you've seen looks normal, none of it is rare or very valuable.
Eagle Eye Secure Storage--- Jim C Friday April 6th, 2012 12:16:06 PM "Sorry for the interruption folks! Lets get back to the bid, do I hear 450gp?" The man in black looks noticeably relieved at not having to buy the unit for more than a thousand gold.

Yondrim moves to stand next to the man in black and gives him a friendly, though competitive smile. If the man continues to bid, Yondrim will immediately bid the next increment higher with a very similar, "Yeeeep" that between the two of them makes you want to vomit a little bit each time you hear it.
In between bids he speaks to the man, "You'll not win this, my friend. We are here as part of an ongoing murder investigation and need the contents of this unit as potential evidence. Let us win and afterwards perhaps we can sell you the items we do not need for the 400 gold you were willing to pay. That, or you win and we have the city guards seize the property anyway and it will not be released to you until the case is closed." (Diplomacy: 27)
Bosk AC: (26)/13/(24) +1 added for haste CMD:21 HP 53 of 55 Spells Friday April 6th, 2012 6:07:15 PM
Too speed things up, Bosk is willing to bid up to 1,200 gp / chits. If it goes higher I will need to think about it more (i.e. Let me know if it gets that high and I will post my decision to keep bidding or not).
ooc: Hopefully the man in black is not the assassin.
Eagle Eye Secure Storage--- Jim C Friday April 6th, 2012 7:05:40 PM "You speak to me as if we are friends, we are not." comes the reply from the man in black.
Bid after bid the price climbs up to 1300gp, with the man in black having the highest bid.

OOC: Zeol, Alexi said increments of 100 not because there's a rule, but because your an idiot if you go from 400 to 1000 in one bid! :) You tip your hand if you act excited and try to intimidate other bidders. Of course, you were role-playing, and so was Alexi. :)
DM: correct me if I'm wrong but Zeol used his domain thingy when perusing the items, no when bidding, "Zeoll looks over the goods with a knowledgeable eye. ...When the bidding starts, Zeoll gets excited. He shouts, "One Thousand Gold Pieces!"
so if there was to be some ejection, it would have been before the bidding started. My thoughts. Not that it matters much, but it would be more consistant...
IC: Bosk looks around to see if anyone is wearing spurs. Standing next to him is a man wearing spurs. They have unique buckles in the shape of wolf heads with jaws open. Bosk looks up and sees .... Alexi!

Restlin will hand any chits/gold to Bosk that are needed (we can do the math on this back at the tower, I assume...) and walks over to Yondrim after the man in black has gone away.
"Bunch of savages in this town, lately...and I'm not talking about the taurs. Looks like Alexi's on the case though. Anyway, let's see what we bought."
He gives some thought to security at the tower. If he has enough money left over, a trip to the WLA for a few scrolls to scribe into his spellbook may be worthwhile.

He does not move otherwise, but won't try to stop the man if he simply walks around him. He does, however, watch for a reaction to the name... hopefully an obvious one. (Sense Motive: 5)

Bosk AC: (26)/13/(24) +1 added for haste CMD:21 HP 53 of 55 Spells Wednesday April 11th, 2012 1:05:11 PM
ooc: Not letting me get away with posting that I hand over the money huh... Bosk has enough cash to front the money. We can decide via email if the group wants to split the cost, reimburse the cost when we next get loot, or if Bosk is the sole owner of whatever he just bought.
The taur opens up his massive hand and reveals a small pile of brightly colored chits. Let's see, an orange (1500gp), two red (500gp each) and two white chits (100 gp each) should cover it. So what is the process, can I go through the stuff now, and do I need to hire someone to bring this back to my tower, or can you deliver it for me later?
The Lady --- Jim C Wednesday April 11th, 2012 1:26:08 PM
The Lady carefully checks the chits to see if they're counterfeit. When satisfied, she gives Bosk as receipt. "New at this eh? Well, the way we handle it is thusly. First, you have 24 hours to decide what to do with the contents of that unit. You can take it out now, or later, but it'll be unlocked unless you lock it yourself. If you don't have a lock, they sell them for the normal price up at the front office. After 24 hours you have the option of renting out the unit or making sure it's empty and unlocked. If it's still locked after 24 hours and you haven't rented it out for the month, which is 50gp a month, then your lock is cut off and everything is thrown out. 24 hours starts now and the time has been recorded on your receipt. They do not deliver anything, they just rent out the unit, it's your responsibilty to take care of the contents. Any questions?"
The Man in Black --- Jim C Wednesday April 11th, 2012 1:28:30 PM
The man in black doesn't seem to react to the name of Lowd, "Get yer ass out of the way, horsey." The man's hand strays to his sword. You think perhaps with what little room you've given him, he doesn't want to squeeze by you or get close to your posterior where you may kick him.
Unit 13a--- Jim C Wednesday April 11th, 2012 1:34:52 PM
Tightly packed, Beri manages to start looking through some of the items, but it'll require them to be pulled out and spread out on the stone floor to be inspected--which is what others have done after winning their units. In his cursory scan, it looks like these items are used, but not badly so--perhaps they were replaced by the nicer items in her house.
Working towards the back, Beri pulls loose the bedsheet covering some paintings. They don't look like they're rare or anything (need an appraise check), but one painting stands out. It is of a woman holding a baby while sitting in front of two men. Behind them is an inn, it's name unreadable in this light. Beri slowly comes to recognize the woman as Heather Brody--perhaps 20 years younger.
Bosk AC: 25/13/23 CMD:21 HP 53 of 55 Spells Wednesday April 11th, 2012 3:48:54 PM
Bosk nods in understanding. I think I am interested in possibly renting the locker out. Can you tell me how secure these lockers are?
The Lady---Jim C Wednesday April 11th, 2012 3:59:26 PM "The place is well guarded, it's a metal gate, more than that I'm not sure. The staff at the office can tell you more, we don't work for them, we just liquidate these abandoned units for them and others." Needing to catch up to the rest, she says her goodbyes and leaves with guard in tow.
Bosk AC: 25/13/23 CMD:21 HP 53 of 55 Spells Wednesday April 11th, 2012 4:25:50 PM
Seeing Beri begin the inspection of the locker, Bosk quickly moves to the front office and purchases a Superior Quality lock and pays for a month's rent on the locker. I can't even begin to count the number of times we suddenly had to leave an area unexpectedly, at least this time I am going to make sure our investment is protected. As he pays the rent he asks about the security of the locker and of the premises, and asks if there is any magical protection on top of the more obvious and mundane methods.
Bosk AC: 25/13/23 CMD:21 HP 53 of 55 Spells Wednesday April 11th, 2012 4:43:48 PM
ooc: Cayzle, can Zeoll use his scent ability to see if the man in black or anyone else smells like the scent he picked up at the murder scene?
Bosk AC: 25/13/23 CMD:21 HP 53 of 55 Spells Wednesday April 11th, 2012 4:53:51 PM
ooc: I just thought of something, remember the question Zeoll was asked to see if he was a psychopath? The girl killed her sister to get the man who consoled her to return...
Now her have Heather and another woman dead. The other woman has Heather's painting with a baby and two men in it (could she be Heather's daughter?). What if they are all family. The two men could be our next victims, or one of the two men could be killing the women to find the other man? They could be her lovers, brothers, sons, or one could be her husband. We should also see either of the men look like twice or someone from the brothel....err finishing school.
Zeoll (HP17 of 35, AC22, CMD17) Wednesday April 11th, 2012 5:25:19 PM
OOC: I've been waiting on the steps for the man in black to come out, but no go so far. Maybe he took the fire escape or flew out invisibly or something? Or he is still standing in front of Yondrim?
Zeoll is still waiting on the steps for the auction to end.
Front Office---Jim C Wednesday April 11th, 2012 9:04:41 PM
The staff member at the front office takes Bosk's payment after having him read and sign a lenghty five page disclaimer. Needless to say, they absolve themselves from all responsibility for the contents of the unit, they simply rent the space. As for security, for security reasons, they do not discuss security measures other than what you see, but they assure Bosk they use other methods in addition to the mundane--they simply do not discuss them.
Yondrim (Jon) 65/65 HP AC 20/16/18 CMD 19 DR 1/- Wednesday April 11th, 2012 9:21:00 PM
Yondrim will back out of the gate and to the side so that the man has plenty of room to go by without feeling like he's in danger. "I must say... congratulations on becoming suspect number 1. Good day to you."

Beriothian keeps the painting of Heather out of view of those outside the unit. He studies the brush strokes and techniques of the other paintings to determine if they are of any value. Hmm, there are some interesting things in there, I suggest you guys take a look.
Appraisal = 23 (anyone want to aid another?)
The Man in Black---Jim C Thursday April 12th, 2012 2:03:49 AM "Good horsey," quips the man in black as he passes by Yondrim, never turning his back to him or letting him leave his sight until he is a safe distance away.
Zeoll (HP17 of 35, AC22, CMD17) d20+16=30 ; Thursday April 12th, 2012 7:39:46 AM
Zeoll, getting bored outside waiting, decides to entertain himself and any passers-by. He sits himself down where he can see the exit clearly and begins to sing.
Perform 30! Sweet!
As the bard plays street-minstrel, he keeps his eye peeled for that fellow in dark clothing who was so interested in bidding for the unit. The liontaur prepares to use his Fascinate ability in the event that he sees the fellow.
Will save DC19 for that fascinate.
Confidential Committee on Moral Abuses---Jim C Thursday April 12th, 2012 12:14:29 PM
As Zeoll begins a beautiful rendition of Three Mothers and an Incubus, he acquires the attention of guards on patrol. They come his way and once arrived, they look about curiously, then the head guard asks, "Good sir, may I see your performing license? It's required to be openly displayed and I do not see yours, sir."
Zeoll (HP17 of 35, AC22, CMD17) d20+4=20 ; d20+17=29 ; d20+19=23 ; Thursday April 12th, 2012 1:25:40 PM
Zeoll tres to fast-talk his way out of trouble and into the hearts of the constabulary. "My good sirrs," he says, under the rose, "as an official frriend of the yarrd and as parrt of an official Prrotectorrs grroup underr the authorrization of Inspectorr Aulanderr, and in concorrdance with the porrtion of the municipal code that addrresses the use of rremarrkable skills in the purrsuit of a suspect underr investigation, my underrstanding is that my use herre of the arrtifice of strreet minstrrelsy in the purrsuit of a crriminal investigation is not only meet but perrmitted underr the apprroprriate Hook City statute."

"That Zeoll can't catch a break, lately." Restlin shrugs and heads off to see what Beri's found.

Yondrim waves good bye to the man, "We'll be in touch." and then heads back in to storage area with the others. He moves over to the storage unit and cast Detect Magic before staring in, but doesn't try to squeeze in.
Beriothian (Will)-- AC:22/16/16 HP:46/57 CMD = 22 Thursday April 12th, 2012 7:57:28 PM
Beri turns to Restlin. Good eye, but let's not discuss the contents of our unit until the crowd has dispersed.
Alexi AC 25 Tch 12 Ffted 22 HP 66/66 CMD 22 Thursday April 12th, 2012 10:06:11 PM
Alexi, mingling with the crowd outside, waiting for the Man in Black, chuckles at Zeoll's new predicament. It might even act in their favor. If Zeoll can create a scene, the Man in Black might be distracted enough not to notice Alexi following him.
OOC: these were the rolls posted on the 10th. Disguise (blend in with the crowd) +1= 17, Stealth (follow the man in black without being noticed) +3 = 22 (note: this is without armor and shield penalty. If Armor and shield penalty applies then it is 18.
However, if there is some comotion that might distract the guy, Alexi might get a bonus.
MIB---Jim C Thursday April 12th, 2012 11:25:07 PM
As stealthly as he can, now that the Man in Black is on the move, Alexi follows him down alleyway after alleyway until he thinks that he's probably lost. It seems the man is trying to shake him, or someone, or maybe he likes sight seeing. Alexi is now about 5 blocks from where he orginally was. Continue pursuit or head back? If the former, please make another set of rolls.
CCoMA---Jim C Thursday April 12th, 2012 11:27:13 PM
The guards look at each other trying to figure out what was just said to them, and shrugging as if they just heard a foreign language, the head guard says, "Yeah, okay, umm, no license, no collecting monies, righto?" Nodding as if using sign language to make their point stick, the guards head off.

Zane has gotten totally confused by the recent goings on and when asked about pitching in for the cost of the storage units contents he just says, "Sure, I guess." He seems to want to be doing something, anything would be better than just standing around.
Bosk AC: 25/13/23 CMD:21 HP 53 of 55 Spells Friday April 13th, 2012 5:32:20 PM
Bosk returns to the locker and begins placing everything of value or that seems relevant to the case within his BOH. So Beri, tell me what you guys found...Hey, where did the others go, and where is the man in black?
Bosk will make sure to lock the locker and follow what ever protocol is necessary to keep their merchandise safe and protected before leaving.
Alexi AC 25 Tch 12 Ffted 22 HP 66/66 CMD 22 d20+1=18 ; d20+3=8 ; Friday April 13th, 2012 9:17:42 PM
Alexi is not worried about getting lost. Somehow, by asking enough people, he can find his way back. What does concern him is the lack of concern for the nature of this MIB by his friends, so focused on the items they just bought.
What the group really needs is a relay of persuers following the MIB, but that aint gonna happen. At best Zeoll will disengage himself from crowd of admirers and follow, but a liontaur does not blend into the croud well. Hopefully Zeoll will back him up if he gets in trouble.
Disguise (blend in with the crowd) +1= 18, Stealth (follow the man in black without being noticed) +3 = 8 (note: this is without armor and shield penalty. If Armor and shield penalty applies then it is 4.)
Alexi looks ahead and notices that it will be quite difficult to go unoticed for a while, so while walking along, he retrieves a vial from his back pack, then steps into a shop for a second and gulps its contents.
Drink Potion of Invisibility, duration 3 minutes.
Back outside, he hurries along to catch up with the MIB.

"Fine, we'll wait."
Restlin looks around at the locker. "I say we find anything we may believe to be relevant and bring it back to our tower. Looks like Bosk secured the locker for us, so the rest can sit here and be guarded until we decide what to do with it."
How much is there to bring back? Restlin can go rent a cart if needed.
Yondrim (Jon) 65/65 HP AC 20/16/18 CMD 19 DR 1/- Saturday April 14th, 2012 12:08:59 PM
In answer to Bosk question about the man in black, "I tried to question him about his interest in the unit and he was... not forthcoming. Threatened to kill me for delaying him, but it bought time for Alexi to slip out. Hopefully he and Zeoll and follow him."
Man in Black---Jim C Saturday April 14th, 2012 1:37:38 PM
Ducking out of sight, Alexi quickly quaffs a potion of invisibility, much to the amazement of a small child standing nearby. Resuming his chase, Alexi comes to another of many intersections and does not see the Man in Black.
If you wish to continue your search, please give me 3 blocks of movement you would like to continue on; either straight ahead, left or right, 3 times.
CCoMA---Jim C Saturday April 14th, 2012 1:40:47 PM
Meanwhile, back at the gate to Eagle Eye Secure Storage, Zeoll has amassed quite a little group of listeners--who inevitably throw coins of silver and gold his way. His vision blocked first by the guards and now his admirers, he's not sure who is coming and going out of the storage company.
Bosk's Bag of Holding---Jim C Saturday April 14th, 2012 1:43:43 PM
Trying as he might, the Taur is only able to fit a chest drawer and the bedframe into his bag of holding. Why he would do such a thing is unknown as Beri has related to him that everything there is of average quality and perhaps worth 500gp if it were brand new. In some thrift shop it would maybe sell for half that--but Hook City proper has no thrift shops--maybe Labortown and definitely Mudtown do.
Bosk AC: 25/13/23 CMD:21 HP 53 of 55 Spells Saturday April 14th, 2012 2:36:21 PM
ooc: I mainly wanted the paintings in the BOH, as they seemed relevant to our case. I included "anything of value because it sounded like we had not looked through everything yet. However a bed and chest of drawers would make nice portable barricades.
Beriothian (Will)-- AC:22/16/16 HP:46/57 CMD = 22 Sunday April 15th, 2012 12:56:05 AM Bosk, I don't think that you can fit all that in there, but make sure anything of value is stored away.
Eagle Eye Secure Storage---Jim C Monday April 16th, 2012 12:23:49 PM
With little else to do, the group is missing a few members--namely Zeoll and Alexi. The former can be heard outside singing, the latter, no whee to be seen.
Getting the painting of Heather Brody out of the unit and having a bit more light to see by, Beri notes the building behind the three people and the baby has a sign that reads, Heranmar Inn.
Bosk AC: 25/13/23 CMD:21 HP 53 of 55 Spells Monday April 16th, 2012 3:27:52 PM
Bosk raises an eyebrow when he sees the name Heranmar Inn. Any of you guys recognize that name or know if Heranmar anywhere near here? It seems to be popping up more and more frequently. Mr. E had claimed to be a guard kidnapped from Heranmar and Zeoll spoke to a couple of men from there at the Madrigal.
Alexi AC 25 Tch 12 Ffted 22 HP 66/66 CMD 22 d20+5=15 ; Monday April 16th, 2012 6:12:46 PM
Alexi lets out a muted growl when he realizes he's lost track of the man in black. Had he not taken the time to become invisible, this would not have happened. But then he risked being seen. If he was visible, he could easily ask someone on the street if they noticed the MIB, but to do so invisibly would be awkward, if not frightening to the inquiree.
So Alexi is faced with a dilema. Wich way to go? The odds are that any one way is only a 33% chance of being the right way. Any calculations after that are meaningless. However he hadn't seen him ahead so he most likely took a left or right, making his next choice only a 50% chance hit or miss.
Alexi quickly decides to take a left at the intersection. At the next one he tries to outhink his quarry. If his first choice was correct, going straight would be wrong as he still does not see the MIB. So he's still left with a 50% or correctly guessing which way to turn. Taking a Left, then a Right, might be a logical way of outfoxing a trailer, however if the trailee was heading away from his destination and desired to reach it quickly to give his master the news of the sale, then he'd turn left again.
So Alexi turns Left.
By the time Alexi reaches the next intersection he still does not see his quarry so he must have turned again. Of course, the MIB could have ducked into a shop anywhere along the way. This he'd have to find out by retracing his path once the Invisibility potion wears off. But for now, again, he is faced with a Left or Right direction. He'd like to toss a chit, but if people saw a chit suddenly appear out of thin air there's no telling what chaos would insue.
This is a mind game, with a little luck. However, a candle light suddenly appears above his head, causing some excited comments from passerby's. He's not seen up ahead so that rules out going straight. If he turns left again, then he's right back near the street they were on before and could be spotted by any of the other members trying to catch up with Alexi. So the only other logical path open is to the right.
Alexi turns Right.
Perception +5 = 15
Beriothian (Will)-- AC:22/16/16 HP:46/57 CMD = 22 Monday April 16th, 2012 8:31:07 PM Yeah, we should check out that fine establishment as soon as we are finish... hey, where did Alexi run off too? Oh well, I'm sure he can take care of himself.

Cat-erwauling---Jim C Monday April 16th, 2012 10:19:06 PM
Continuing his cat-erwauling, Zeoll has a perplexed look on his face, looking as if he needs to be rescued as he breaks out into a rendition of the Cat and Old Spinster.
Far away, Alexi deduces that he is on the trail of the Man in Black, but as he rounds the corner he see's that there is no one there--not a single soul. This area of town seems a bit darker perhaps, maybe it's just his perception, but he's positive there is no one in sight, or earshot. The man in black has disappeared.
Beltrin (Keith) AC: 18/15/18 HP: 42/56 CMD: 20 Spells Tuesday April 17th, 2012 12:04:02 AM
Seeing the expression on Zeoll's face, Beltrin steps up, applauding loudly. "Hear, hear, well sung! But surely one with a golden voice such as yours must seek employment in one of the fine establishments in the city. Fortunately for you, I know just the one that might be right for you, perhaps we can discuss this in private?" He tries to draw Zeoll aside and inform him of the discovery of the painting and that Alexi was waiting to follow the man in black and is probably on his tail now.

Zeoll is glad to see Beltrin -- and making sure that anyone tossing coins has either gotten them back, or that they are distributed to beggers or passers-by -- and asks his friend how the auction went.
"I was watching forr that fellow in darrk clothing, but I did not see him leave. Likely he was flying and invisible."
When the group is together, Zeoll asks who paid for the auction. He wants to contribute.
When he hears about the painting, he asks to take a look at it. He makes a Knowledge check ... what would be best? Local? History? Zeoll has the same check in both, and rolls a 27.
When asked about Heranmar, he recalls what he has heard of the region. Know Geography 14. He makes a special effort ... doesn't that Inn look familiar? ... (and uses Memory subdomain power to reroll at +7) ... a 23.

Bosk nods as he absorbs the information. That's right. I think I remember Alistair mentioning something about the shipping routes before we traveled to the Sargrass. I came here right after the Great Migration...I swear, I thought the people here all were giving me a hard time and making fun of me for being a foreigner when they told me the countries rearranged themselves. I mean, you go to bed and when you wake up in the morning North has become West, you are located on another part of the continent, cities disappear and new ones appear...This might be normal for you, but my people have never even heard of such things.
The cleric tells Zeoll about the auction and what they found. In the future, perhaps a spell like arcane mark would help us to track people of interest. In the mean time, we either need to try to track The Man in Black, or we should get back to the apartment. The guards are probably waiting for us.

Alexi takes stock of his location when he realizes he's lost his quarry. MIB could be anywhere. Alexi ambles into an ally and waits for his Invisibility to wear off then takes out his mapping equipment and starts backtracking while writing down names of shops and street names.
If there are any hawkers in the street that he knows were there when he passed by the first time, he'll ask if they saw a man in black pass by.
Diplomacy +1 = 17
He also keeps an eye out for MIB, looking around and watching his backtrail, just in case MIB has turned the tables on Alexi!

Beriothian (Will)-- AC:22/16/16 HP:46/57 CMD = 22 Tuesday April 17th, 2012 11:30:37 PM Good idea. Let's head back to the tower, at least there the ones besides us are already dead. I would recommend that everyone get any last minute supplies if we are going to leave Hook City for a while.

"If this man in black is the assassin we're after or even in league with him we may not need to leave the city.. he knows we won the auction and.. well, at least he's become familiar with me. It's possible he'll come to us. We'll want to keep a watch these next few days. The next logical target would be us."
Heranmar, the Man in Black and the rest---Jim C d20+12=31 ; Wednesday April 18th, 2012 11:59:14 AM
Recollecting what he knows, Zeoll believes the inn in question is just outside the city limits of Heranmar and has been there for some fifty years. Not a posh place to rest for the night, but neither a dive.
Alexi on the otherhand has no luck with tracking down the Man in Black. If he was following him back, he would never know.
Meanwhile the rest of the group waits patiently for Alexi's return. It has been almost half an hour.

Restlin taps his foot impatiently while waiting for Alexi's return. "I haven't been out of the city much, to be honest; however, even I know the plains are no place for an idle stroll. Maybe we should look into securing passage down at the docks."

Because I am an idiot who did not do the math at the time, although Zeoll actually leveled to 7th on March 12, I only just now noticed. :-) I have now leveled him up, and his PC sheet is almost up to date, except for loot adjustments for this module. To whom do I owe some auction cash, and how much?
Idiot that I am, I also note that my current hp total max, listed in my header as 35, is two levels out of date! It should have been 38 two levels ago, and 44 until today! Now, adding a d6 (roll in this post) ... a 3 ... Zeoll's new hp max should be 49!
Also, I vote a hero point to Alexi for chasing the man in black.

ooc: Did we get exp 3 times durring the ring? I am only finding twice. I am missing the second set you have listed, and cannot find the points you listed.
I will be out of town from Saturday to the end of the month. I have an alternate arranged to post for me.
