DM JamesD Monday September 16th, 2013 12:11:43 AM ooc: Welcome League Adventurers, and thank you for introducing yourselves in the interview and for those that responded to my email. Please be patient with your new CoDM, for I am bound to make many minor mistakes when it comes to personalities and locations with which the Players and PCs may be familiar and many thanks to DM Mark for putting together the outline for this module. I plan to dive in to the module pretty quick, so please make any Catacombs purchases ASAP. This is also you last chance to attempt any of the contests.
ic: After leaving the league Peza heads to the docks while taking in the sights of the fast developing city. It is amazing what the fixers have managed to accomplish in such a short period of time. With all of the newly built infrastructure the frontier that you had seen upon first arriving is no longer recognizable as such. This is what Harvest Moon sees with her ever alert senses as both she and Edson follow close behind the petite raven haired ranger.
On the other side of the street Brom chooses to head out by himself. He wanders Rum taking in the sights and sounds of the small city. Sometimes he could close his eyes and he would be home. As he thinks his feet move of their accord. Having spent quite a bit of time at the docks during his time in Rum, Brom finds himself there again, almost like his second home. He is so absorbed in his thoughts that he is most surprised when he notices Barratore behind him with a drink in his hand and Gerox following in his wake doing his best not to get trampled by the crowd.
As you walk about the city you realize that it is much busier than normal and can feel the eyes of the people on you as you move about. Small children talk excitedly as point to your sashes, arguing over who gets to play each of you in their next "battle". All about you excited citizens fill the streets, watching as workers prepare the area for the festivities and a man in an unusually large striped jester's hat announces a triad of competitions designed to entertain the masses
Upon reaching the docks Harvest queues up for the potion test, curious as to what it might be. Well my good lady, the game is simple. I will ask you three questions to test your knowledge. Each of these vials responds to your voice. Answer correctly and the vial fills with something beneficial to add to the potion. Answer incorrectly and the results will be a bit more entertaining for the crowd. Your questions are:
What Spell requires a drop of wasp venom to cast? Name a spell hat has a material component of a drop of water or a pinch of ash... What spell has the side effect of making the user sickened while carrying or using a cold iron? (You can either answer these questions or make a Knowledge Arcana or Spell Craft check)
As the half-elf ponders her questions Edson watches excitedly as a tall man performs a double back flip off the ships mast. "I am going to try that one." He says as he points to the mast and makes his way to sign up. Please make an acrobatics roll
Brom tries his best not to laugh as he notices the game of strength and several young sailors trying their best yet barely sending the ringer up halfway to the bell. Both he and Barratore step up to take a turn, each of them sending a loud metallic chime through the air as they bring the mallet down with terrific force (Prizes will be handed out as soon as I have everyone's attempts in). The young gnome smiles when he hears the bell and finds a safe place to wait for the others while he begins examining the stone they received from the Cat Mother.
Slowly he turns the polished bit of agate in his hand hands, the smooth stone soft against his skin. Something about the stripes on the stone put his mind at ease and then it comes to him. This is one of those Luck Stone he had read about. He recalls that it can boost ones skills or fetch a nice price in the Catacombs, a sale he would have to make before the festivities start if he hopes to sell it today.
Brom, Edson and Harvest Moon Highlight to display spoiler: {You notice that there are many more guards than normal patrolling the streets in preparation for this event}
Edson Highlight to display spoiler: {You notice that several of the guards buttons are much shinier than the others and obviously have much newer uniforms.}
Harvest Moon (AC19/Touch18/FF15; CMD 22; HP HP 48/48) - Al Monday September 16th, 2013 9:03:18 AM
OoC: Welcome, James. And, I hate to hit you with bookkeeping problems right off. But, I think that the reason no one has completed their Catacombs purchases and such because many, if not all of us are way off the wealth mark.
Harvest Moon, for example, was at roughly 10128 gp before the latest loot. Add her share of roughly 1092 gp and that brings her to about 11221. We're all Level 6 now. The Level chart says minimum for 6 is 23500. That's about a 12278 disparity. Almost 50%.
Not to be a whiner or anything, but is there anything you might do to correct this? If this is intentional, please ignore this. I'm fine with that. I'm all for low magic, personally. But, I didn't want to go into the next module with a discrepancy this big that was a mistake.
Dm James I will look into it, however I believe 23,500gp is at lvl 7. By your estimate you are between what is recommended for 5th and 6th. I know that some campaigns may be higher or lower wealth by design, but I have not heard anything special about Rum. Keep in mind that those are also guidelines. You hay have a few levels with low wealth modules and then hit one with a large pay out.
Al/Harvest Moon: You're right. I do have that wrong. Must have looked at the wrong row when updating my CS. That makes the disparity just over 5000 gp. Not as bad. But that's around the price of a decent magic item at this level.

Her head turns to follow first one guard and then the next. There are many more now that there ever were before. This, before returning her full attention to the questions. They are all questions about spells. She had not been expecting this. And yet, there are things that she has read about different magics.
Harvest Moon blows the crest of her hair from her face with a puff of breath while contemplating the questions. A drop of wasp venom to cast? A drop of water or a pinch of ash. And what makes the user sickened while carrying or using cold iron?

Hert AC 27 (26ff 11+3t) HP 55/55 CMD 16(15ff) Monday September 16th, 2013 10:18:34 AM
Hert vanishes in the crowd, pulling the hood on his full gray cloak. Attractions of the festival do not interest him: he watches each for a minute or so, before moving to the next one. As he finishes walking though the docks, he leaves other adventurers behind to go to the local marketplace.
He spends a handful gold coins to buy some simple food: bread, cheese, vegetables, and borrows a cup. He then carries the goods around the town, walking though the main streets to the outskirts of Rum. He gives out the food to the beggars and poor families, listening to their stories as they eat and sharing some stories of his own. He tries to leave at least a couple of silver coins to each of those who he helps.
A lot of time passes before he is finally done. No matter though, unless he is distracted, he is willing to spend weeks on doing his work as a priest of Gargul and as a human being.
OOC: Hert spends 50gp and the festival time on his charity work. He will take the reward from after the battle in money. Should I buy something from Catacombs IC or just add it to my character list?
DM James Yes. Please buy equipment in character in the Catacombs.
Barratore Steelwind (Dan K) AC: 20 (T 12 FF 16), CMD: 24; HP: 64/64Character Sheet d20+9=21 ; Monday September 16th, 2013 10:22:15 AM
Barratore grins at Brom as both he and the powerful human send the clear chime through the area. The minotaurs eye then drifts up the tall mast and he grins again. "Time to soak some spectators." He chuckles at Brom. Barratore collects his prize from the strength contest and walks over to the diving contest.
Barratore watches as Edson performs his dive, flip or wriggling plunge, depending on what ends up happening. If Edson is relatively successful, he claps and lets out a deep 'Woot!'
"Time to soak the crowds" he tells the man at the bottom of the mast. Barratore takes off his armor and sword, letting it clank and ring as he drops the stuff on the dock. Grabbing the ladder, Barratore moves to the top and steps out onto the platform.
Taking three large strides, he leaps high and out into an immediate tuck. Completing a pair of somersaults, Barratore flattens out to strike at an angle, feet first, pulling up one leg and sitting slightly so as to throw a massive volume of water at the dock (Barratore tries a double flip into a jack knife)
[acrobatics check 21]
ooc; don't mind low magic as long as the modules are written knowing we have the resources of a 4th level group. ie we don't have 2-3 curing wands during or after battle, and other such things that an extra 80,000 gp party wide would provide our group
Gerox Shale ac 13 TA 13 FF 11 CMD 13 hps 45/45 Monday September 16th, 2013 8:34:22 PM
Gerox face lights up when he figures out what the stone does. He looks up expecting to see Barratore and the others only to find himself alone as they have wandered off to play games. He glances around nervously realizing that the stone represents a small fortune. He carefully tucks it away putting it into an inner pocket of his shirt where pickpockets will have less of a chance and stands up looking for the others. He notices Harvest buy the potions and wanders over to watch.
Once he understands the gist of the questions, he grins and yells to her. "No worries Harvest, you won't be blue skinned for long. Probably only a couple of months!"
ooc: Gerox is going to head off to the Catacombs. Do we want him to sell the stone? Do we want to keep it? Pretty cool item and it was a gift from Mother. Seems a bit cold just to sell it but I am willing to go along with the group decision.
Peza / Chris / Hp 51/51 Ac 18/ cmd 21 Monday September 16th, 2013 9:20:30 PM

Brom takes notice of the extra guards. Odd. He thinks. He makes a mental note. [Perception DC20]
Brom and Barratore ring the bell with a loud "ding" and Brom yells "Huzzah!" He takes a prize appropriate for a child, and gives it to a child he sees. "Hear little one, a gift from Brom."
Brom laughs at the sight of a minotaur doing somersaults. "I leave the acrobatics to the professionals"
Brom continues to enjoy the fun at the docks. He eats and drinks and enjoys the entertainment.
OOC: Welcome aboard James!
The stone of good luck is 20k gp. So I think it's hard to have someone pay 10k for it, especially since no one has that much. But I agree that it seems callous to sell the sacred treasure of the catfolk. I would suggest we give it back to them and suggest that their first warrior wear it as a badge of station.
Edson Kazil(Shawn), AC 18, Touch AC 16, Flatfooted AC 16, HP 30/30 d20+16=23 ; Monday September 16th, 2013 10:38:22 PM
Edson takes his place when it his turn. Standing on the mast he takes a couple deep breaths to regulate his body. On the last breath, he holds it before pressing off with his legs propelling himself backwards. As his body moves he tucks his head down and under, so even though he is moving away, he is still front flipoing. Three complete rotations before he hits the water. A triple lindy he heard it called.(Acrobatics 23) He pulls himself out of the waternand begins to dry off. He moves to the others, "there a bunch of new faces in the guard outfits, and some are shiny new. Something isn't right. When did Rum open the coffers and higher new guards."
DM JamesD Tuesday September 17th, 2013 12:00:38 PM
As the group splits up to try their hand at the various games Hert vanishes in the crowd, pulling up the hood on his full gray cloak. The attractions of the festival do not interest him, and instead of participating he spends a handful gold coins to buy some bread, cheese and vegetables which he carries around town and hands out to the beggars and poor families, listening to their stories as they eat and sharing some stories of his own. As he leaves a couple of silver coins with each of those he helps.
Back at the dock Harvest Moon blows the crest of her hair from her face with a puff of breath while contemplating the questions. She was familiar with a variety of spells, but it had been a while since she was put in a position of having to answer such questions. What Spell requires a drop of wasp venom to cast?Hornet's Nest Name a spell hat has a material component of a drop of water or a pinch of ash...Rose's Temperature Control What spell has the side effect of making the user sickened while carrying or using a cold iron? The last question has her stumped until she hears Gerox taunting her. No worries Harvest, you won't be blue skinned for long. Probably only a couple of months!" . Although unsure if it was his intent, the comment helps her to figure out the answer to the last riddle. ... Elf Vision The crowd watches in anticipation as Harvest mixes the vials together and thin wisps of blue smoke begin to rise. Congratulations. You answered all of the questions correctly, and it looks like you have created a potion of Magic Fang. The crowd applauds loudly, although Harvest swears she hears a small child saying Don't worry, maybe the next one will blow up.
Across the street Barratore grins at Brom as both he and the powerful human send the clear chime through the area. Well done! Calls out the jester as he pulls two silver vials out of his bag. You two deserve these, put them to good use. He hands each of you a potion of Magic Fang.
The minotaurs eye then drifts up the tall mast and he sees Edson take his place. Standing on the mast he takes a couple deep breaths to regulate his body. On the last breath, he holds it before pressing off with his legs propelling himself backwards. As his body moves he tucks his head down and under, so even though he is moving away, he is still front flipping. Three complete rotations before he hits the water The minotaur grins again. "Time to soak some spectators." He chuckles at Brom. Barratore collects his prize from the strength contest and walks over to the diving contest. "Time to soak the crowds" he tells the man at the bottom of the mast. Barratore takes off his armor and sword, letting it clank and ring as he drops the stuff on the dock. Grabbing the ladder, Barratore moves to the top and steps out onto the platform.
Taking three large strides, he leaps high and out into an immediate tuck. Completing a pair of somersaults, Barratore flattens out to strike at an angle, feet first, pulling up one leg and sitting slightly so as to throw a massive volume of water at the dock. A giant wave drenches those on the edge of the dock. The jester coughs and sputters as he hands Edson a of Jump potion, I think only one prize per person. Yes, no additional potion for you Mr. Minotaur. The jester rings out his hat and calls other, smaller, contestants up to the platform.
The group comes back together. Gerox face is lit up as he explains to the others what the stone does and how much it is worth. He carefully tucks it away putting it into an inner pocket of his shirt where pickpockets will have less of a chance. Everyone then discusses the increase in the number of guards and questions what the celebration at the docks is for...
Harvest Moon (AC19/Touch18/FF15; CMD 22; HP HP 48/48) - Al d20+15=22 ; Tuesday September 17th, 2013 12:39:17 PM
A broad grin spread across the round, half-elfish face of Harvest Moon as she accepts the modest prize. The value is not so much in the worth of the prize itself, but in the satisfaction of knowning that the many hours of studying have come to some effect.
Her joy is only marred by the voice that sounds as though it might have been a child. Who is it that wishes to see another harmed by an explosion? Harvest Moon turns her head, orienting upon the sound.

Barratore Steelwind (Dan K) AC: 20 (T 12 FF 16), CMD: 24; HP: 64/64Character Sheet Tuesday September 17th, 2013 3:53:10 PM
Barratore stows the potion of magic fang in his belt pouch with a thanks and smile to the man at the strength test. As he climbs out of the water, wearing a grin that implies he ate an entire forest of canaries, Barratore waves off the jester and chuckles, "winning a trinket was not the goal of the dive, not at all." He looks for Edson, hoping the man was distracted enough to hold still during his dive and therefore is counted amongst the soaked.
"Maybe somebody important is coming to town, officially open it or something." Barratore shrugs as he drips, "what do you want me to do?" Barratore asks as he begins to put his armor back on and hands Edson his blade to hold
Hert AC 27 (26ff 11+3t) HP 55/55 CMD 16(15ff) Tuesday September 17th, 2013 7:20:55 PM
When Hert is back and hears the news about many guards in town he is not impressed at all:
"I'm sure its nothing to be concerned about. They are probably just maintaining order here. And if you ask me, the more guards there are the better. As for the festival..."
He leaves shortly to ask around people about the festival. When he gets a response, he returns to the others.

"Thanks." He says to the carny. Brom eats and drinks, spending 20 gold on food, drink, and misc stuff, before heading to meet up with the others.
Hearing about the additional guards. "I saw that too. I think it was cause of new movement Theringer told us about."
Peza / Chris / Hp 51/51 Ac 18/ cmd 21 Tuesday September 17th, 2013 8:43:23 PM
Hearing Gerox's explanation of the "luck stone " and its abilities .... " wow .. what should we do with it ?? .. as a gift from the catfolk we sould put it to good use ... would be a shame not to "
A smile crosses Peza's face as the Barratore come back soaking wet ... " hope you aren't the only one to get wet ? .... somebody toss you off the docks ?" teases the girl
Edson Kazil(Shawn), AC 18, Touch AC 16, Flatfooted AC 16, HP 30/30 Tuesday September 17th, 2013 10:41:50 PM
Edson takes ahold of the sword Barratore hands him. "Master knight should I polish the metal as well. " he says in a mock squire voice.
Gerox Shale ac 13 TA 13 FF 11 CMD 13 hps 45/45 Tuesday September 17th, 2013 11:17:12 PM
Gerox smiles at Peza's enthusiasm. "I think we should keep it as a good luck charm of course. Silly humans don't even know what to do with proper magic."
(ooc waiting on a ruling on the luck stone. If the party agrees I will keep it, pay whatever money I have now and reinburse the rest when we get more treasure. If that works, I won't be going to the Catacombs to buy any healing potions.)
Gerox looks at the others and says, "Now that your guys are done playing games, I think we should sample some of the local foods. Frankly I am getting very tired of trail rations, especially when Brom cooks. How he makes cheese and dried fruit taste like barbarian feet is beyond me."
DM JamesD d20=1 ; Wednesday September 18th, 2013 12:57:00 PM
Harvest Moon turns quickly to face the voice of whoever was wishing for an explosion and spots a small girl excitedly explaining to her friend how a previous contestant's potion fizzed and popped and then turned the persons face BLUE! It is apparent that she is not wishing injury on anyone, but rather that the competition is designed to entertain the crowd if someone answers incorrectly.
Barratore laughs as he drips dry and looks about to see who he soaked. Although the strength competition was too far away to get hit he notices the people lined up along the pier. Several drenched citizen look at him, including several upset parents and their children who are exploding with excitement as if getting soaked was their sole purpose for standing at the edge of the docks. As he rejoins the group and hands Edson his sword to hold as he puts his armor back on Peza teases him, asking if someone threw him off the dock while uses his best mock squire voice saying, "Master knight should I polish the metal as well. "
The League Adventurers accept their prizes and regroup to discuss what they have learned and decide what they should do next. Gerox chimes in on the topic of the stone saying, "I think we should keep it as a good luck charm of course. Silly humans don't even know what to do with proper magic." He then looks at the others and says, "Now that your guys are done playing games, I think we should sample some of the local foods. Frankly I am getting very tired of trail rations, especially when Brom cooks. How he makes cheese and dried fruit taste like barbarian feet is beyond me."
After getting the topic turns to the increased number of guards. Barratore suggests that, "Maybe somebody important is coming to town, officially open it or something." while Brom thinks it is cause of new movement Theringer told you about. "I'm sure it's nothing to be concerned about. They are probably just maintaining order here. And if you ask me, the more guards there are the better. Hert says. As for the festival..." He leaves shortly to ask around and then returns to the group. It appears the festival is going to be weeklong festival to celebrate the completion of Rum, and those organizing it want to make sure everything goes perfectly and as planned. Anvil and Prusis have left to the main land to give reports on the cities progress and to personally invite some of the most influential people in the Wold to the festivities. The only odd thing he hears is that one person had mention Scully's Heroes were around earlier and asking about the increased number of guards, particularly if anyone had noticed whether or not there was an increased patrol by southernmost warehouse.
Harvest Moon (AC19/Touch18/FF15; CMD 22; HP HP 48/48) - Al Wednesday September 18th, 2013 2:04:08 PM
"I think that I will go to see this southernmost warehouse," declares Harvest Moon upon hearing Hert of Gargul speak of the investigations of Scully Swiftblayde. "If for no more reason than to discover why it might be that he is interested in such a place."
With that said, the half-elf turns unerringly and without hesitation to the south and walks off at her usual swift pace.
Barratore Steelwind (Dan K) AC: 20 (T 12 FF 16), CMD: 24; HP: 64/64Character Sheet Wednesday September 18th, 2013 4:32:52 PM
Barratore gives the kids a smile and wave as he passes them. he barely manages to control his urge to shake more of the water from himself as he walks by.
He bristles a bit at Peza'z implication, before snorting the jest away with a blast of air from his nostrils. Edson's comment he mostly ignores, save a nod of agreement.
"It would not be right to simply sell the stone." he has nothing else to add that direction. With talk of Scully and watch shifts or the amount of guards, Barratore's hackles rise. "Is that man and his lapdogs ever not trying to pull something. Rather trust a scorpion in my shoe." he finishes absently as Harvest heads out. Barratore sits a bit further back into his chair and pulls his drink, a pale blonde ale, a bit closer so he could reach it without stirring more than his arm. She'll be fine in the city and so he could simply wait to see what Harvest might turn up.
"ahhhhh." Barratore lets a purposeful sigh exhaust itself and tilts his head back slightly and closes his eyes
Hert AC 27 (26ff 11+3t) HP 55/55 CMD 16(15ff) Wednesday September 18th, 2013 6:19:56 PM
Hert delivers the news about Scully and adds his opinion:
"We should watch the warehouse for a while. They are definitely planning something. And we should tell the guards too. If there are really no patrols around there the city guard must fix that. I hope Scully is smart enough to give up whatever plan he has."
As for the stone, he says:
"A luck stone? Interesting, but I do not need it. And I do not really care about how much it is worth or how much gold I get from it. So you know what, I'll leave it up to you to decide what to do with it. I'll be fine either way."

Gerox nods but is surprised at Harvest's quick withdrawal. "Should someone go with her? That girl doesn't let any moss grow under her feet does she. I will take the Luckstone as part of my treasure. He promises each member of the group 500 gps when they return to the WLA compound as partial payment. "I will pay the rest as we gain more treasure and if anyone every wants to borrow it, they are welcome."
Gerox then says, "We need to use some caution with the warehouse thing. Yes we need to watch Scully but we aren't part of the guard. Our function is to protect Rum from more then petty thieves. In fact, this could be a set up from Scully trying to sully our reputations. He knows we are to dangerous to take down in a fair fight but if he can somehow turn the town against us, he doesn't really need to. These badges can be a liability as well as an honor. If we don't live up to them, we hurt all of the WLA. Imagine if he robs the warehouse, kills someone and then has the guards find us lurking around? All I am saying is we need to use caution."

Harvest Moon (AC19/Touch18/FF15; CMD 22; HP HP 48/48) - Al Thursday September 19th, 2013 8:43:27 AM
Harvest Moon offers a queer look to Edson Kazil, as though he has, perhaps, presented her with a pair of men's underclothes or some other such object the use of which she would be unable to fathom at this time. "Why is it that we must always go together?" she asks. "That is foolish. You do not always follow me when I weed my garden, although I would welcome your help."
"What is it that you expect to find at the Southmost Warehouse? Do you fear fighting? In Rum? With all of the city guard about?" Her hands, she finds, have made their way to her hips in the manner of disapproval or confrontation. Harvest Moon draws in a deep breath, and when she releases it, also lowers her arms. "I only go to see this warehouse with my own eyes. If possible, I will speak to those who own or guard it. No more than that. If I thought this task beyond my abilities, please be assured that I would have asked you or the others to accompany me."
"If you too have an interest in this Southmost Warehouse, then I welcome your company. We might speak of things of mutual interest to pass the time. But I see no sense in going to all places together because we have affiliation with the Woldian League of Adventurers."
With those words, Harvest Moon continues on her way. Her pace, however, is now slower to accommodate that of Edson Kazil.

"Maybe ya don't like my seasoning." He says spitting a mouth full of chew juice onto the ground. "Puts hair on yur chest and makes ya a man."
"Ah, let her go. Sculley's worried cause he's got stuff there or he's gonna do something. None of our concern either way. League doesn't know or care and doesn't pay nothin'." He says enjoying some drink.

As the soaking wet kids cheer after Barratore for the tidal wave he created the dripping taur gives the kids a smile and wave as he passes them, barely manages to control his urge to shake and thereby sending forth a fragrant rain rich with an essence reminiscent of wet dog. Upon rejoining the group he bristles a bit at Peza'z implication, before snorting the jest away with a blast of air from his nostrils. Edson's comment he mostly ignores, save a nod of agreement.

If we don't live up to them, we hurt all of the WLA. Imagine if he robs the warehouse, kills someone and then has the guards find us lurking around? All I am saying is we need to use caution."
"Harvest" Edson calls out as he realizes the group is quickly separating, " hold up. We're a group, not single adventurers. We should all go together."
Barratore sits a bit further back into his chair and pulls his drink, a pale blonde ale, a bit closer so he could reach it without stirring more than his arm. She'll be fine in the city he thinks to himself, and as such he could simply wait to see what Harvest might turn up. "ahhhhh." Barratore lets a purposeful sigh exhaust itself and tilts his head back slightly and closes his eyes
Harvest Moon's response is a bit different and she offers a queer look to Edson Kazil, as though he has, perhaps, presented her with a pair of men's underclothes or some other such object the use of which she would be unable to fathom at this time. "Why is it that we must always go together?" she asks. "That is foolish. You do not always follow me when I weed my garden, although I would welcome your help."
"What is it that you expect to find at the Southmost Warehouse? Do you fear fighting? In Rum? With all of the city guard about?" Her hands, she finds, have made their way to her hips in the manner of disapproval or confrontation. Harvest Moon draws in a deep breath, and when she releases it, also lowers her arms. "I only go to see this warehouse with my own eyes. If possible, I will speak to those who own or guard it. No more than that. If I thought this task beyond my abilities, please be assured that I would have asked you or the others to accompany me."
"If you too have an interest in this Southmost Warehouse, then I welcome your company. We might speak of things of mutual interest to pass the time. But I see no sense in going to all places together because we have affiliation with the Woldian League of Adventurers." With those words, Harvest Moon continues on her way. Her pace, however, is now slower to accommodate that of Edson Kazil.
"Maybe ya don't like my seasoning." He says spitting a mouth full of chew juice onto the ground. "Puts hair on yur chest and makes ya a man."
"Ah, let her go. Sculley's worried cause he's got stuff there or he's gonna do something. None of our concern either way. League doesn't know or care and doesn't pay nothin'." He says enjoying some drink.
And so the group goes their separate ways.... Please let me know who is going where and to do what (I am the type of DM that doesn't like railroading and wants you to tell me when you leave an area and where you are headed). Oh, and perception checks are usually a good idea when going to a new area along with any other relevant checks...

The direction of south is the easiest part. Harvest Moon strolls in a leisurely pace in a southward direction searching for the southmost building, assuming that it will be a warehouse. She lifts her nose and sniffs at the air, alert, as always to her surroundings.

They are not very good guards. Or, so thinks Harvest Moon. But it is, for her, a lesson in the basic motivations of people. Instead, however, of speaking her mind, Harvest Moon explains that they had heard of the men of Skulley Swiftblayde asking many questions about the southernmost warehouse. From concern, she and Peza had come down to see that nothing untoward was going on.
"I will remain here." Harvest Moon settles herself on the ground. "I will remain here and watch the warehouse." Looking up at the guards, she explains, "You may watch me if you wish. I add my eyes to yours and we will watch the warehouse together. More eyes are better, no?"
There are many things that need to be done. Gardens to weed. Sea grasses to gather and pound into cloth. But there is a duty that comes with the League Adventurers group, and it is not one that Harvest Moon intends to shirk.

A quick scan about confirms the rest of the group is out and about and so he returns his attention to the matter at hand. "Intruders, golems, Sculley and a rich merchant with a bunch of shiny new guards. That just sounds like a disaster." Barratore stands back up, "All right let's get ourselves to somewhere then.

They are not very good guards, Harvest Moon thinks to herself, but for her it is a lesson in deterrence and the basic motivations of people. Instead She quickly explains to them that they had heard of the men of Skulley Swiftblayde asking many questions about the southernmost warehouse, and that from concern she and Peza had come down to see that nothing untoward was going on. "I will remain here." Harvest Moon settles herself on the ground. "I will remain here and watch the warehouse." Peza raises an eyebrow at Harvest's tactic of sitting and waiting .. "Come now Harvest, let's not bother these fine guards. We can walk about ourselves, observing and investigating....Thank you for being patient with us." Peza replies to the guards as they leave to continue on their patrol. --------------------
A while passes and Hert decides to get back to the tavern when a small child runs up to him and informs him that he has an outstanding order in the Catacombs which needs completing (please type SOLD in a post on the Catacombs page). During the conversation he learns that a delivery was made to a warehouse that the child was paid extra to deliver before his other messages.
As Brom stands up to head out and says good bye to Barritore, Edson stops them and relays information he overheard some people passing by talking aobout. Look lively Barratore. Something's going down at some warehouse. That merchant was talking to a guard about intruders and golems. Aren't Peza and Harvest by the warehouses?"
What?" Barratore picks up the chair and adjusts the table and returns to his seat. Not to ignore Edson, but to get himself closer to the man's eye level without stooping. A quick scan about confirms the rest of the group is out and about and so he returns his attention to the matter at hand. "Intruders, golems, Sculley and a rich merchant with a bunch of shiny new guards. That just sounds like a disaster." Standing back up he says, "All right let's get ourselves to somewhere then. Peza and Harvest are at the Warehouse." Barratore starts that direction, keeping an eye out for the others. After a short walk the group sees Harvest sitting on the side of the road staring at a building guarded by two golems.
Ooc: At this time I am assuming you are all together, either because you stuck together or because Barratore spotted you along the way. If for some reason you decided not to join them and go elsewhere, please let me know...just note that you might not be joining up with them for a while due to the nature of splitting up the party and play by post games.

"Okay, let me sum up what we know that there's a warehouse with some new golem guards. That's not our business. They can guard their goods with dragons for all I care. The better the guard - the less likely whatever they keep there gets stolen.
Next we have Scully. He has some interest in that warehouse. Does he plan to rob it? Well, maybe. Or maybe he took interest in the golem guards as well. Either way so far he hasn't done anything.
So my point is we can't do anything so far. And heck, we probably shouldn't. If Scully steals something, we find out and instantly know where to look."

After listening to Edson's eavesdropping news Brom stands, "Hold on there, chief. We are not the guard. You go talk ta Theringer and see if we get something for it. I'm not spending the next month in jail or worse cause you guys wanna drum up trouble." He says holding up his hands. He thinks for a second, "We go and pull those two trouble-makers away from the fire and do this the right way...we get approval so we can get paid."
Brom heads down to the warehouse followed by Hert who wants to stay, but follows Barratore to the warehouse anyway
dressed for trouble but trying to be as overt as possible while Gerox finishes chatting up a good looking halfling girl. Noticing Barratore and the others leaving with purpose, so he excuses himself and follows along. Keeping his distance, he wonders if anyone else noticed them leave and might be following the group, but all he notices are the citizens of Rum going about their business.
As the men approach Harvest Moon raises a hand in greeting as she spies Barratore Steelwind, finding minotaur easier to spot due to his towering height and assuming the others must surely be along with him. "Where is it that you wish to walk about," she asks Peza, curious as to what her friend has in mind. "We are guarding the warehouse now. What is it that we should be investigating?"

Barratore looks immediately at the guard when Brom mentions the three bar symbol. He returns his attention to the human and tunes in to what he just said. Barratore then looks to Peza for confirmation of the plan. He adds, "Then what? The rest of us need to get back to a reasonable distance to assist. If they are willing to take on golems, they are no push overs."

Upon Brom's words, she looks more closely at the swords of the guards. She nods and gives the Rager a grim smile. But at the suggestion of Edson Kazil, a fear grips her again. It is the same fear that welled within her when Peza suggested that she act casually.

They wanted us to wear these sashes, let's use them to our advantage and do our jobs and pass the info." Spotting a couple of beggars he then suggests, "Harvest and I can pay a beggar for their robes. And we can walk these docks and not be suspicious. Just a father and his half elven daughter begging for scraps." Unfortunately she immediately rejects his suggestion, fear once again gripping her again as it did when Peza suggested that she act casually, although it is unclear to Edson if this is due to a lack of skill or an unwillingness to put on such garb. "I ... I cannot do that, Edson Kazil. Comes the girls response. I will hide nearby instead. And I will watch from there."
The league adventurers turn to leave, all heading their separate ways with a plan of meeting back up a reasonable distance from the warehouse. Brom quickly make his way with the first group to find the Theringer. It takes longer than normal to make your way down the streets with all the congestion and festivities. On every corner there is a fixer proclaiming the greatness that is Rum, telling the story of how the people conquered the wilderness, pointing out the fine details that went into the city's planning and detailing their vision of greatness for the future. After some time you find yourselves outside the WLA and learn that like Anvil and Prusis, Theringer is out delivering invitations to the festivities (although his tasks are notably less prestigious and closer to home). As you ask around you learn that almost all officials in the city are preoccupied for the festivities. Normal government and WLA functions have been suspended in order to dedicate time to inviting important people, giving speeches, and overseeing various events.
You soon discover that you are on your own for the time being, and the full weight of the chain sash comes to bear on your shoulders as some low level administrative officials with no actual authority tell you to look into the matter without giving you any actual instructions or authority to investigate the matter other than telling you to take no more actions "than are necessary".
Meanwhile Edson walks up to one of the dirtier beggars and asks to purchase his rags. At first the man is quite hostile, scolding the rogue elf for his rudeness and taunting those less fortunate than himself. It isn't until the beggar sees coin that he believes the request and Edson finds himself able to purchase the most authentic of beggar's rags at the inflated cost of one silver coin (allowing the beggar to purchase something else to wear). From his new vantage point and Peza's covered location behind a stack of crates they are able to maintain a steady watch over the next two hours until Barratore returns.
The first thing those staking out the warehouse spot is Scully's Heroes returning to the warehouse, following a delivery of crates up from the docks. You can hear them asking the delivery boy several questions ad trying to slip him a few gold coins, but he refuses and swears he doesn't know what is inside. After another half hour six guards exit the warehouse, splitting off into groups of two and heading in different directions.

Harvest and Hert catch up to the delivery boy a short way from the dock and learn that the crates came from a ship that docked last night. The crates were unremarkable and were labeled "sleeping bags", "rations", and a variety of other mundane equipment that can be purchased for sale at the various shops of Rum. The Captain of the ship was not around, but you recognize the name as being one of the regular captains making his living on the shipping lanes delivering goods from port to port...nothing fancy or exotic, he makes his living on the more reliable trade goods that are always in need. Nothing that would require a golem for protection. Not far from them Scully's Heroes sit in a circle discussing...

Harvest Moon takes the direct approach. She boards the ship. "Hallo!" she calls. After introducing herself, the half-elfish girl explains that she is on business for the Woldian League of Adventurers and has only a few questions.
First, she asks whether there are any more crates left to be delivered to the warehouse of the merchant Maaqrana. Second, she asks whether she might see the contents of one of them. Third, she asks who it was that came to call for the last load of crates.
She follows up on the orders of Edson Kazil despite feeling it not worth the while. She would rather have pursued the guards with the symbols on their swords.

When things take a serious turn, Hert promptly excuses himself to wear his full armor and equipment set. At this rate there's no telling when the fight may happen, so he's got to be prepared. Thankfully, his full cloak conceals it completely, to the point when it isn't visible, so it should draw no special attention to him, except that all the clanking makes it impossible for him to move silently now.

"This is strange. Why didn't he order all that in the local shops then?" - he wonders. Apparently Harvest Moon got the same idea and is asking the exact same questions he would've asked.

Brom is starting to get frustrated with the lack of success. He has been trying hard not to just start beating information out of people, but he is reaching his limits.
"No doubt." He says to Barratore. "Don't know about you but I'm getting really tired of this sneaking stuff. Not my style and I've done good not beating it out of someone. Let's find Sculley. He knows something more than us and I don't mind beating on him if I have to." He heads off to find Sculley.

DM JamesD Wednesday October 2nd, 2013 11:45:28 AM
Edson just shakes his head as Harvest boards the ship. He had barely gotten the words out of his mouth, explaining what he had overheard, when the elven girl takes off. He realizes right there that it wouldn't be a giant or a dragon, but a fifteen year old girl that will be the death of him. Still shaking his head he continues, "Scully's crew is contemplating boarding the ship and checking the crates for something, but Harvest seems determined to beat them too it."
In the distance you all can see Harvest Moon taking the direct approach. As she boards the ship the wind carries her call, "Hallo!".The half-elfish girl soon finds herself being greeted by the captain, a tall red haired man with a weathered face browned and chapped by the harsh sea wind. She quickly explains that she is on business for the Woldian League of Adventurers and has only a few questions, whether there are any more crates left to be delivered to the warehouse, if might see the contents of one of them, and who it was that came to call for the last load of crates.
The captain stares at the girl for several minutes as he pulls on his beard, the puzzlement in his eyes clearly evident. Does the WLA typically board people's ships here and ask them questions about their deliveries? Without waiting for an answer he shrugs as one who is unsure what to do and has given up on the matter. I am not used to people coming uninvited onto my ship, nor have I ever heard of the WLA or any other organization sending someone so young to ask questions...but I suppose it is not worth risking angering the Fixers over and losing my shipping permit if you are telling the truth....The truth is, that I don't know. My ward delivered the crates, and I am not in the habit of going through other people's things. He motions for the boy you saw delivering the crates to come forward. Garret will answer any questions you have for him. All I can really tell you is that the manifest said the crates contained a variety of mundane items like you would find in any general store anywhere in the Wold.
The delivery boy gives much the same story. I delivered six crates about three feet long by two feet wide and two feet high. No much to tell really. A few guys were asking me about the boxes, same as you, and I told them I didn't know anything. I brought the crates inside and six men took them off the wheelbarrow. They were bigger, rough looking guys. Nothing special about them. Probably stock boys and security. They gave me a tip and I left.
-------------------------------------
As everyone waits for Harvest, Barratore folds his thick arms across his chest and snorts as he thinks Watching Scully, watch a warehouse because he was asking about it. Garguls backside, we're interested and asking about it too. Who's watching us I wonder? He leans back into the side of a building. "They got to know we're here. We've crossed everything from words to fists. They will sure as water mark you and me Brom."
"No doubt." says Brom , who is starting to get frustrated with the lack of success. "Don't know about you but I'm getting really tired of this sneaking stuff. Not my style and I've done good not beating it out of someone. Let's find Sculley. He knows something more than us and I don't mind beating on him if I have to." He then heads off to find Sculley as Hert excuses himself to don his full armor and equipment, feeling more and more that there's no telling when the fight may happen and he'd better be prepared...Thankfully, his full cloak conceals it completely to the point where it isn't visible and should draw no special attention to him other than all the clanking of the metal as he moves.
Peza tries to suppress a smile, watching the others impatients and Barratore pining for something besides watching ... she knows that he will get his desire soon enough ... trouble finds them with ease ... "Good work you two ... sleeping bags and rations .... either their using this place as a staging area ... stocking the place without trying to bring attention to themselves or there is something else in those crates .... maybe shiney new uniforms !! .... disguising themselves for whatever mischief and mayhem that is coming. After a moments thought she adds, "We need to get news to Captain Theringer ....send a messenger with a letter ... I'm sure he's real busy with the activities of the festival "
"I agree with Barratore. Gerox says to Peza, We need to have a discussion with Scully or at least one of his crew. Why don't I try and do that?

We can come in after and clean up your mess. Maybe you will weaken them enough that we can take them down after they send a few of you to the graveyard." Gerox gets an evil smile.
"Of course that is assuming that it isn't a high level priest who just might turn your burnt and broken bodies into some kind of undead. Bet you would like to be undead. I hear they don't take bathes either."
With that Gerox turns and walks away hoping he gave them some food for thought but doubts they will be intelligent enough to hear his meaning behind his words.
He turns and starts walking backwards adding, "You know where to find us if you need some help. I figure once half your group is maimed or killed you might want some help.

Just call out from the dock and wait to be invited aboard, just like you would knock on someones door and wait to be invited into their house.
The elven girl then returns and tells Hert what she found out. "So it appears the captain really doesn't know anything" says Hert after they leave the ship. "Lets catch up with the others."

One of Skully's men sneers as he shouts back, We'll see this evening maimed or killed ankle biter. The tallest man in the group, presumably the leader, shoots him a murderous look brings about instant silence from the others. The conversation is clearly over and the group hurries wordlessly out of sight.
"Bah! Gruffs Brom. What work ya sorry excuse for a pile of dung. You got nothing. Just stay out of our way." Brom turns and starts to leave with the others when he notices something, there are windows and a back door on many of the buildings in this area, and as the city was "perfectly planned" it would stand to reason that the Maaqrana's warehouse did as well.
"Well it was worth a try Gerox, Peza says as the group walks away. I would be more then happy to let Scully and his group get credit for their actions in helping figure out what by Waard is going on ... after all its more important to thwart the tri bar conspiracy then get credit .....and like Hert has said ...

Around the corner Edson drops the homeless persons robes off in an alleyway, cleans up to the best of his abilities, although some dirt still remains on his face, and meets back up with the others just as Peza finishes her talking and adds, "I think we should warn Theringer about the guards with the three bars." Everyone agrees, unfortunately no one knew where Theringer left to, just that he was inviting important guests and that he didn't travel as far away as Anvil and Prusis.

After a short walk Hert, cleric of Gargul spots the others and relays what the learned. "It looks like we're almost out of options.

"Good idea Peza." says Edson, who had previously suggested such action and was glad others were trying to follow it, even if someone else was going to get credit of it.
As you ask around you learn that no one knows where Theringer is, just that he was inviting important guests and that he didn't travel as far away as Anvil and Prusis. Although there are messengers that can deliver a letter a letter to him explaining what you have found, any actions you plan on taking, and why you are taking them, there is no guarantee it will reach him in a timely fashion.

"I think Hert of Gargul is correct. The warehouse is not ours. We should respect the privacy of Maaqrana. We should not enter without greater suspicion than we have."
"Perhaps we should find Merchant Maaqrana and ask him of the warehouse. Perhaps bring him to the office of law and tell them of what we found. He can then explain."
"Or ... " It is then that an idea strikes the half-elfish girl, inspired by the words of the ship captain. Harvest Moon approaches the warehouse, walking straight up to the door. Without a look at either golem, she knocks. "I have just come from the ship," she calls out. "From which the crates were delivered. We think that there is a problems."

"Thank you," replies Harvest Moon. "We will take nothing. We only wish to look." Quite conspicuously, she does not answer any other of his questions. Instead, the small half elven girl gestures to her companions to follow, and she enters the warehouse upon the boy's invitation.
"Can you show me the crates in question. You said that they were emptied, but I would like to check again the markings that were on them. What was taken from them, did you see?" Her eyes rove the warehouse even as she surreptitiously watches the boy for suspicious behavior.

Edson doesn't move when Harvest waves them.on. She is closer to the boys age and possibly inocent like him. Edson didn't want to be there when the father showed up. But if he had to at least he could wait out here and stall the man if he showed up.

Gerox slips in unseen when the opportunity allows. He moves away from the group and takes a look around trying to find what would be need golems to guard.
He waits until Harvest is farther from the lad and whispers a message spell to Harvest, saying "Act fast, if Daddy shows up, he could bring down the stone golems on us."

Barratore is not worried about 'dad'. The fighter is concerned that this boy has been left alone. "All the guards have left? Convenient, especially if the boy can't activate the golems. Anyone see anyone coming that we don't think should be?" Barratore scans about but sees nothing out of the obvious [perception 9]
If Gerox sets off the magical wards causing the golems to animate and start killing things, Barratore moves with all haste to get the boy out of harms way

Peza waits for her friends return ... hoping she can glean some infomation from the boy and possibly the merchandise.... "Thank you," replies Harvest Moon. "We will take nothing. We only wish to look." Quite conspicuously, she does not answer any other of his questions. Instead, the small half elven girl gestures to her companions to follow, to no effect, and enters the warehouse upon the boy's invitation with Gerox slipping in unseen behind her. Silently he moves away from the group and takes a look around trying to find what would be needing golems as guards.
Edson and Hert don't move when Harvest waves them on. The young rogue figuring that Harvest is closer to the boys age and possibly innocent like him and thinking it would be better if he wasn't there when the father showed up. Both men choose instead to observe the surroundings in case a guard or 'dad' returns to distract them.
Barratore also waits outside, not worried about 'dad', rather the fighter is concerned that this boy has been left alone. "All the guards have left? Convenient, especially if the boy can't activate the golems. Anyone see anyone coming that we don't think should be?" Barratore scans about but sees nothing out of the obvious.
Unexpectedly alone Harvest asks, "Can you show me the crates in question. You said that they were emptied, but I would like to check again the markings that were on them. What was taken from them, did you see?" Her eyes rove the warehouse even as she surreptitiously watches the boy for suspicious behavior. As she moves about the invisible Gerox whispers a message spell to Harvest, saying "Act fast, if Daddy shows up, he could bring down the stone golems on us."
Harvest can tell by the quiver in the boy's voice that he is both intimidated and afraid of her. Nodding he points to some crates in the corner of the room. They are all empty. I am supposed to break them down so we can use the wood to make some shelving. As Harvest and Gerox look at the crates they find them to all be empty, except for one labeled "tents" that has a single button clearly identifiable as being from a guards uniform in the bottom of the crate. Additionally Harvest's keen eyes notice the wood inside has a faint tint to it. Not the drab gray or green of most tents, but a much deeper hue like that used in clothing.
Outside the group watches the coming and going of various citizens, none of which seem interested in the League Adventurer's or the warehouse.

"I am Harvest Moon," says Harvest Moon, returning her attention to the boy. "There is nothing to be afraid of. We are friends to all who abide the law. What is this button?" Harvest Moon stoops to retrieve the small thing from the bottom of the crate.
"And the coloring on this wood." Harvest Moon touches a hand to one spot where the color has rubbed off. "This is, I think, more the color of the guard uniforms."

The boy shrugs. I don't know what the guards look like hear. We just got in from Dirt City yesterday. A merchant hired my dad to guard his interests. I think that means his crates.

Harvest Moon grins as her friend Peza appears, waving to the human girl. "This is Peza," she says, introducing the boy.
"I think you are a good boy to help your father guard this warehouse. If you find yourself in danger, find the compound of the Woldian League of Adventurers. Tell them that you have met us. They will give you and your father protection."
With that, Harvest Moon leaves, rejoining the others. "I think that the uniforms of the guards came from the crates," she says after telling them of the things that she found. "I think that there must be many false guards in Rum by now. We must hunt them. Them, and, perhaps, this merchant who owns the warehouse."

Barratore is up for about any plan the group puts together. What he does not have is a lot in the way of ideas on how to do whatever it is they all think they need to do
Some people have brought in uniforms, those people carry the insignia of trouble makers here in Rum as well as the people behind the attacks of The People. That made them very bad indeed and Barratore would see proper justice met out. Brom, however was very right. "How do we find them?"

After a brief conversation you learn that the Captain of the guard is in the center of the city by the main crossroads in preparation for the Fixer's big demonstration.

He hesitates before continuing:
"This is not our usual style, but I believe this is needed... We must capture one of the guards and interrogate him. We have very little time and we need information, fast. If we know what they are intending to do, maybe we can counter it."

"If we jump a city guard and other guard see us taking out one of their own the rest are not going to ask questions. We will be fighting the entire city guard Different plan please."
Barratore has a seat at a table once the group is back at the compound. Seemed there was a lot of rushing about to do something without any idea of why. The fighter liked a bit more order than what was being generated. That and he saw nothing that said rebellion. That was a mighty strong word and carried a great deal of weight. There had not been any mention of the possibility of rebellion by Theringer when all of them were sitting discussing the other incidents in Rum with the faction carrying the three bars. Why does 6 uniforms suddenly make a rebellion. The more he puzzled the less convinced he became things were so very dire.
"I need more than 6 men with uniforms of the city watch to get me to kill one of them. Orcs in the wilderness attacking The People and us are one thing. men in the city is different."

"I'm not taken on the guard unless we got some higher authority, like the Fixers themselves. Like Barratore said, guards see us fighten' guards and we got the whole town on us, heroes or not, we're frelled." He says. "What I am gonna do is go the this Fixer thing. I'd think if I wanna make a statement against the Fixers and the establishment, I'd go there. I'm gonna be armed, armored, and ready for action. Any takers."
