So far, Yngvar has not found a way onto the roof from the second floor.
Ragnarök downs his potion, then he, Asteron, and Za'Reed head outside.
Faust moves to join them, happy to hide behind the burlier members of the party.
Toregan finds a spot in an alley.
You decide not to attack--to allow Boss Wathe's "boys" to start whatever's going to be started here. They do not disappoint. The six swagger across to where the main group is standing, stopping just a few feet away. "You shouldn't have come," one of them says. "You was warned. Now we gotta teach you a lesson."
Just as the fight seems inevitable, you hear a roar from down the street. Looking that way, you see an enormous man charging at the group of Boss Wathe's men, brandishing a shovel, of all things. Toregan recognizes Otto.
Otto clocks one of the men with the shovel, hard enough to make him stagger. He turns to face this new threat, effectively out of the combat. You now face five men.
Except one of them seems to be having some kind of medical issue. He twitches, and jerks, and dances about. Looking around, you see two Halfling boys standing near the livery, throwing rocks. Asteron recognizes the two Brookhollow lads he talked to earlier. Wathe's man spots them, too, and charges after them, abandoning the fight in his effort to "fix you little brats good." The boys laugh as the run away.
So, thanks to your efforts to make friends, you now face only four opponents.

Doors along the outside to rooms on the second floor. Each room has a window or door leading to a balcony circling the place? (as in Maverick with Mel Gibson)
Coming guys, my search for a vantage point has so far been fruitless.

(editing my post as I posted before the arrival of the map and it wasn't clear to le we were standing this close to the attackers)
Rag doesn't wait any longer... he makes a 5 foot step foward and leaps forward extending one of his feet horizontal to the ground... aiming for nr 2 hoping to land a serious kick in the head as part of a flurry of blows which potentially will stun him... followed by two more jabs from his fists...

Toregan leans out of his cover to fire a shot at the nearest goon aiming for his unguarded vitals, quickly retreating back to his cover, trying to keep his targets from seeing his position.
OOC: well, thats a nat 1 for my stealth. Guess I'm engaging in melee sooner than I thought.

Asteron bellows a challenge as the rage gets the best of him. Then, as his vision begins to turn red, he attacks the first thug in the row, hoping to connect into sinew and bone.

Faust grabs a piece of licorice root from his component pouch, chants some magical words and makes some motions, causing the root to dissolve in a glimmery smoke-like substance that quickly travels to his own mouth as well as his nearby companions, filling them with energy and the very essence of speed.
"May I inquire what is the accusation? So far, we've done nothing more than enter this beautiful oasis amidst the jungle.", he adds, as he takes a few steps back into further safety.
Hasting himself, Asteron, Ragnarok and Za Move action to G4
--------------------------- Spells in effect: Haste - 6 rounds

I've done nothing but help foil your ambush attempt. Now I join them in their defense against this attempt, making it your last. Za 'explains' to the goons. Screaming his final words, WHERES THE BIG BOSS WAITHE! HE TO SCARED TO FACE REAL MEN?
Feeling the haste spell swell within him, Za reaches for his sword while taking the short 5ft step to engage #4. Screaming his arcane battle cry Blezah! igniting his arcane power, which engulfs his sword within a purple colored arcane force. (activate arcane strike). He quickly gives his opponent two slashes to his chest. ---------------------- 5ft step to J,9; Activate Arcane strike Hit ac 30 for 18 damage Hit ac 26 for 10 damage- 2nd attack from haste (I forgot to add the +1 for arcane strike to the attack roll; and Haste doesn't add damage does it? If so It's not added in here. )

Ditto that for Ragnarök... if he's hasted also from Faust's spell he launches one extra elbow up the nose of his opponent...
Hitting AC17 - so it probably wasn't worth wasting the posting space but just in case it would do 4 HP non-lethal :-)
(Sean) Toregan Dondarin AC 18/14/14 -- CMD 19 -- HP 33/38 Sunday October 20th, 2013 4:35:56 PM There hasn't been another DM post so I'm posting for the sake of posting. :)
DM Kathy d20=17 ; d20=2 ; d20=16 ; d6=5 ; d6=6 ; Sunday October 20th, 2013 9:08:35 PM
As the action starts, Ragnarök steps up and attacks one of the thugs, hoping to stun him.
Toregan fires a shot from his hiding place, piercing one of the thugs in the back. Asteron follows up by splitting the man's skull, and he goes down like a ton of bricks.
FaustHastes his teammates and steps back.
Yngvar is still looking for a vantage point. You do find a window at the end of a corridor, but it looks over Main Street; your view of the current fight is pretty lousy. [You can only see as far as column D, unless you open the window and lean out.]
Za'Reed takes advantage of the Haste spell to swing twice at his opponent. That thug, too, goes down.
There are two thugs left, both facing Ragnarök. The one he hit manages to shake off the effects of the Stunning Fist, then takes a five-foot step and tries to skewer the monk with his rapier. He misses badly; perhaps that Stunning Fist had more of an effect than he realized. The other thug also takes a 5-foot step, and now Rag is flanked. This thug is quite a bit better with his rapier; he manages to skewer Rag for 14 points of damage.
[For whatever reason, the multi-roller doesn't work on this computer. I could tell you a long, rambling story about why I have to do DM posts from this computer, and not from my other computer where the multi-roller works properly, but suffice it to say that I do, and I just did the math in my head.]

Asteron bellows in triumph as the thug in front of him goes down, skull split. Without hesitation, he side steps so the other thug in front of him is between him and Ragnarok, and lets his sword move in a slicing arc, twice. "Now you'll get what you deserve, scum!"

Rag is a little surprised that these tugs are quite good swordsmen... He still remembers how Tunks sword was able to cut him down quite easily... time for some inner Ki then...
With Asteron attacking one of the goons that attacked him, Rag takes a 5 ft step to H11 and focusses on nr 3 (who is also flanked)
Rag enters in a flurry..

Toregan pops out of cover to fire a shot at the guard stuck between Rag and Za'Reed, before slinging his bow over his shoulder, his hands going for his rapier and axe. When he sees Yngvar in the window of Miss Sussy's he nods in his direction before muttering under his breath, "I see you Ygnvar. It seems the situation is under control for now."
5-ft Step to D15 Attack w/Longbow (+12): 26 Damage (1d8+4): 9 Sneak Attack (1d6): 2 Move action to "sheath" his bow
DM Kathy Monday October 21st, 2013 9:46:42 PM Asteron steps up and takes on the already-wounded thug. A couple of quick blows, and the man goes down.
Ragnarök, fists flying, takes on the other thug, and does some serious damage.
Yngvar lets the group know that he is in position, but Toregan tells him its under control. Indeed, Toregan's shot drops the last attacker in his tracks.
The square is quiet. Well, no it isn't. Otto is bellowing and doing some kind of victory dance over his downed opponent. But it's quieter than it was when the battle was going on.
Hp: 41/41 AC:17/ T:13/ FF:14 CMD:19 CMB:+7 Za'Reed d20+7=20 ; Tuesday October 22nd, 2013 12:19:08 AM
Za'Reed smiles as the final thug drops from Toregan's arrow after taking a serious Ragnarok beating.
It seems I've met some friends of at least equal battle worth as I. Proud to count myself among them.
He twirls his sword in a wide arc over his head, sheathing it after the third circle. Well, that seems to be at least some of his goons. But I remember someone mentioning one named "Tonks"; who seems not to have been called out here. I'd bet he's hiding away with his Master Waithe? Za turns and points to the Town Hall;
They made their move, rushing us in the town square. Now, lets make ours and go find Mr. Boss man. I've heard since I've been here that He's most likely in the town hall. I'd bet he's got a few more body guards inside as well. I think we should go quickly before some of our spells wear off.
Over the message spell; Yngvar, I think we should go find Waithe, and the rest of his goons, if there are any more; inside town Hall
Unsheathing his sword once more, Za heads toward Town Hall, motioning for everyone to follow him; peering inside any windows, and listening at the door, hoping to catch some sort of clue as to what or who is inside. =============== Perception: 20

Faust watches as the battle smoothly ends...a bit too smoothly for the drow. Indeed, Za is right, where is Tunks? If Wathe wants the group gone or dead, why didn't he send him?
Over the message spell to everyone: (("Hang on, Dar’Fien, something's amiss...you are correct in questioning of Tunks' whereabouts...that man's really bad news, essentially got rid of us all, why wasn't he sent? Maybe they have a nice trap for us inside the hall or he prefers anonymity for whatever reason."
"Regardless, I was hoping we could, somehow, strike him at his weakness. If there is none to be found, then it'd be in our interests to strip him of equipment to even the field. As strong as he was, did not seem the magical type, so strip him of steel and we have a chance."))

Toregan feels for the wand in his bag and takes it out, placing the tip near Rag's wound. The healing energies of the wand wash over the wound, leaving a small scratch in its place. "I wouldn't say it's good as new, but it'll do."
His eyes narrow as he glances at the town hall, his hands gripping his blades. "Tunks is definitely a problem, but if he doesn't have a good angle and someone backing him up, he's not going to be as effective. Besides, we've gotten better since we last fought. He'll be in for a few surprises i think."
Toregan goes up to the main entry of the Town Hall with Za'Reed, keeping an eye on any windows that would provide a sniper a good shot at them. He whispers to the group to keep anyone neaby from hearing him. "I'll circle around the building, see if we can get in any other way. Besides, those goons could just be meant to slow us down. Waithe might've already made a run for it." He then creeps along the side of the hall, trying to keep any observers from easily spotting him.

[First, before I forget again, everybody take 600 xp for the previous scene.]
Using the Message link, Za'Reed asks Yngvar to join the rest of the group, which he does.
Most of you are suspicious of your easy victory, forgetting, perhaps, that Boss Wathe sent more guys than you actually faced, thanks to the townsfolk. Faust suggests there may be a trap inside Town Hall.
Ragnarok asks to be healed before you go much further, and Toregan obliges.
You move over to scout the Town Hall. It is a fairly simple building, two stories tall. There are large windows, but alas, only one door, right in the front.

Asteron is not keen on entering a building he knows nothing about. Faust may be right; the place may be trapped.

Rag thanks Toregan as he feels the large gash close when the magic of the wand washes over him.
"Perhaps this one," Rag says as he points to the one he knocked down, "can tell us what 9s to be expected when we go in... after all, he is but unconscious..."

DM Kathy Wednesday October 23rd, 2013 11:43:05 PM
[whoops, I forgot]
Za'Reed doesn't hear anything on the ground floor of City Hall. The windows look into an office and what looks like a public meeting room. You can't see anybody inside.
Also, in addition to the large windows, there are some small, barred windows on the ground floor. Presumably, they mark the location of the local lock-up.

Za smiles wide and laughs a bit, lets just hope that I'm right about Waithe keeping his personal goons as employees and not citizens.
If there is a tunnel, I bet hes already gone. But first, lets just seen If he will come out on his own.

Not being fan of burning down a building in the middle of town Rag hopes Yngvar will learn something from hos invisible escapade... who knows how the people of Town will react when the fire spreads to the other buildings...

Faust chuckles briefly, "It would indeed be great fun to burn the place down; but given the situation, doubt it'd be any good long term."
"After all, once this whole situation is settled, I expect this place and the Outpost to finally unite as it's supposed to be. But I certainly do not want to screw around in the jungle to fix a building I set alight myself."
He takes the opportunity to cast Mage Armor on himself, "If he doesn't come out, we go in and take him out."

DM Kathy Thursday October 24th, 2013 11:16:09 PM Za'Reed pounds on the door and calls for the Boss to come see something. Meanwhile, Yngvar turns invisible and slips into the building.
On the first floor, there is a sheriff's office and jail, a couple of offices, a public meeting room, and what appears to be storage space. All seem deserted. A set of wooden stairs climb to the second floor, in roughly the center of the building.
You debate the merits of burning the Town Hall down. Most of you seem to be arguing against it. It doesn't seem like a good way to make friends with the townsfolk.
Ragnarök manages to awaken the unconscious thug. "Hunh?" he says, obviously still groggy. "Hiding? Boss Wathe ain't hiding. He's in his office."

DM Kathy Monday October 28th, 2013 12:08:16 AM
You all agree that burning down the building is probably not a good idea. Yngvar calls to the rest of you to come in.
Za'Reed points out that Boss Wathe probably isn't going to come to you, and Asteron joins the rest of the group in the building.
You are all now in the building, on the ground floor. There is nobody else on the ground floor. There is a stairway leading up to the second floor.
You look up the stairs, but because they are in the center of the building, there is no friendly window to shed light on them, or on whatever they lead to. You can make out a landing, and there is light coming from somewhere up there, but from here it's hard to tell where.
The stairway will accommodate Asteron's size, although he may have to squeeze a little.

If I get stuck in the staircase, we don't want half of you upstairs, and half of you downstairs. Your call, though I think this time I should go in last."
The minotaur is ready to do as the party decides. He's not afraid to go in first, but there is no reason to block his companions just in case he gets stuck.

Yngvar raises an invisible eyebrow as Za'Reed heads for him. You don't have to be so obvious about seeing me...
Yngvar turns a wary eye back to the stairs, I can go up, I still have some time on my invisibility.

Rag nods to Asteron's considerations concerning the staircase.
"Yngvar going first is equally interesting as it is dangerous. We don't want to loose our spellcasters... Unless our Wizard insists, I will go first I guess... "
Rag thus climbs the staircase keeping an eye out for possible traps... he checks if there are any steps he should avoid... once upstairs he checks for an open door and peaks inside... (perception 31, stealth 16)
"Should I knock?"

He shrugs in response to Rag, though the monk can't see the gesture. "Why not? Its something I doubt he'd expect anyways. Just wait for the rest of us to get there."

I go right after him, then mr. Dondarin and finally Dar'Fien. Master Hefnd is free to do as he pleases."
"This way Scarecrow can search for traps, something that's been invaluable in the past, while Worldtraveller does what he's best at. While Dar'Fien and Dondarin cover the back, though I hope such a thing to be unnecessary.", says Faust, hoping that everyone agrees to his positioning.
DM Kathy Monday October 28th, 2013 11:48:40 PM Asteron determines that he probably ought to go first or last, in case he gets stuck. Yngvar, still invisible, volunteers to go first, but Ragnarök doesn't like the sound of that. Invisible or no, he doesn't want the casters in harm's way.
Toregan expresses a wish to stay to the back, where he has range to shoot. Faust tries to position his teammates.
[Whether it's Faust's suggestion or something else, I will need a marching order.]
You make your way up the stairs, which are not trapped. The stairs open onto a gallery, with doors along either side. most of the doors are open; the windows of the rooms beyond are letting in a little light. Two doors are closed; one toward the back of the building and one toward the front.

Yngvar shrugs, not that anyone can see it, then nods, then sighs, Last up it is.

"That's a lot of doors " Rag says as he checks the gallery, "not sure what you all think but I'mexpecting Boss Wathe to be in that room on the front... I guess they have been watching us since we got here...However here I do believe we could use an invisible scout. Just to make sure no one is ready to welcome uqs from any of those rooms..."
(Sean) Toregan Dondarin AC 18/14/14 -- CMD 19 -- HP 33/38 Tuesday October 29th, 2013 8:19:17 PM "Might not be a good idea to have Yngvar open up the doors. If they see a door just open for no reason, they'll probably suspect something, if they don't already. We might as well open the door. and prepare for a fight, though I doubt he's got many men left." Toregan glances at the many-doored hallway, and eyes the closed doors carefully. "I'd wager that he's behind one of the closed doors, since if he knows we beat his goons, he'll want as much protection as possible."
(Toregan will try to place himself between the casters and the fighters. as much as he can, so in front of Yngvar, Faust and Asteron, and behind Rag and Za'Reed (Since hes an up in your face caster). Up to you guys to decide if he should be wielding his bow or his rapier and axe. Either are viable in a situation like this.

Za looks at everyone, talking through the message spell;Talk quietly, we could easily be overheard in a situation like this. No traps have been found, but we see two closed doors. We assume he's behind one of them. What if thats the trap? We may as well send Yngvar to go in right behind the person who opens the door. That'll really give him a surprise opportunity. Just make sure to be alert, peek inside each open door as we pass.
Za is confident in himself and his companions, he moves forward with practiced movements.
He walks up to the first open doorway, and takes a peek inside, his bastard sword at the ready. =========== Stealth19 perception 18 ============ [i]OOC: Rag, Asteron, (yngvar) then Toregan, Faust and then Za. I'll go last just in case something comes from one of the other many doors. Yngvar between others so he can really get a surprise in. Or switch him with Toregan
DM Kathy Wednesday October 30th, 2013 12:25:16 AM
Cautiously, you make your way down the gallery. You pass the first open door, alert for trouble. Nothing happens. You pass the second, again alert for trouble, and again nothing happens.
One by one, you pass by the open doors, checking each one for hidden attackers. Nothing continues to happen.
At last, you have "cleared" the gallery. Nothing is going to jump out at you from any of the open doors. All that remain are the two closed doors, one at the front of the building, and one at the back.

"Nothing against your idea Master Asteron... Stealtth probably isn't needed anymore so why don't we just kick that door out of its hinges..." Rag whispers to Asteron...
Hp: 41/41 AC:17/ T:13/ FF:14 CMD:19 CMB:+7 Za'Reed Wednesday October 30th, 2013 6:12:52 PM

You head for the door at the back of the building. You get into position, and, at Ragnarök's suggestion, you kick the door down!
It falls with a crash. You burst in, ready for battle...
....and find yourselves in a storage room. You see a few crates in neat stacks, some odds and ends of furniture, and a chest of some kind. There is nobody in the room.
(Jorge) Asteron Worldtraveller AC 17/09/15 -- CMD 24 -- HP 52/52 -- Rage 14/20 Thursday October 31st, 2013 1:17:11 AM "We should check all this, most thoroughly. The question is... before or after we go through the other door." Asteron pauses, and adds, "I vote before."

Yngvar heads over to one of the open rooms and places himself just inside the doorway where he can keep an eye on the remaining closed door while the others search the storeroom.
(Jorge) Asteron Worldtraveller AC 17/09/15 -- CMD 24 -- HP 52/52 -- Rage 14/20 Thursday October 31st, 2013 5:10:12 PM
Asteron starts rummaging through the room. Is the chest locked?

"Master Asteron, I'm not going to search this room knowing Boss Wathe and who knows that infamous Tunks might both be behind door number two... Why don't we deal with them first and then come back here... " Rag says as Asteron plans on searching for goodies straight away.
The Monk turns his back on the storage room and walks towards the other room - if of course his friends are following. Once there... he'll just do with that door like they did with the first. KABOOOMM
Hp: 41/41 AC:17/ T:13/ FF:14 CMD:19 CMB:+7 Za'Reed Thursday October 31st, 2013 7:06:22 PM
Za nods with Rag, He's right, we could be interrupted, which isn't ideal at all. Lets go make sure Wathe is here first.
He'll follow Ragnarok, sword still in hand.
(Sean) Toregan Dondarin AC 18/14/14 -- CMD 19 -- HP 33/38 Thursday October 31st, 2013 8:33:06 PM
Toregan shrugs as he follows Rag. "If he didn't suspect something before, he sure as hell does now. I'd say it'd be a better idea to deal with the other door since they're probably there but be mindful of being flanked, just in case." He keeps an arrow nocked and half drawn, readying his nerves for whatever might be waiting for them in the last room.

"Also, we cannot rule the possibility of traps just yet. The chest could very well be rigged.", adds Faust, getting ready for a more dramatic encounter across the hall.
