The Aftermath


DM Rob - Let's get the party started 
Friday December 13th, 2013 5:41:43 AM

The party are content to follow along with Linos to the Mothering Mare.

Again, the only patrons - other than the party - are centaur.

"These travellers are honored guests of Stallion Pholus. He will be covering their costs this evening" Linos advises the barman. Linos reaches into a smalll pouch and takes a few gold coins which he drops on the bar. Linos then politely excuses himself but notes that he will return shortly.

Those of you who drank the wine here a few days ago notice that the wine served now is remarkably better tasting. It would seem being accepted by the Stallion has its perks.

Zeoll and Magana have a little fun with a hymn to Domi. The centaurs present nod in approval, though that could also be because they witnessed a minotaur say 'Domi' rather than 'Imod'. Rozan dances along merrily, enjoying the chance to relax.

Linos eventually returns to the tavern carrying a small pack. He takes a bottle of wine from the pack, opens it and allows it to rest for a few minutes. "Compliments of the Stallion" he advises as he pours a round for the party. There is enough for everyone to get some however the sizing is a little small. The wine is a dark purple in color, and the aroma of plums and pepper is intoxicating.
Taur or Knowl Local DC10 Highlight to display spoiler: {Purple wine is considered quite rare and is prized amongst the Taur people. For the Stallion to provide such a gift to non-centaurs is an honor indeed}

"Look, I know you probably feel a bit betrayed. You did after all put an end to Annoirs crimes on this island. Stallion Pholus obviously feels betrayed too, though through no fault of yours. Anyway, these were some of the things the guards and I recovered from Annoir's camp along with a few gifts from the Stallion for what you did. That and he felt a little guilty about you not getting that bounty" Linos places the pack on the table.

Inside can be found:
- 1 x Toros's Philter, Lesser (caster level 1): Speak with Animals
- 4 x Toros's Philters, Improved (caster level 3): Find Traps, Mirror Image, See Invisibility, and Speak with Plants
- A Tauric Totem Bag - A brown leather bag of average appearance with a frayed leather cord to tie around the neck. The outside of the bag has been vandalised with white paint and shows a derogatory drawing of a minotaur and a cow. The paint should clean off - eventually. The bag itself is empty.
- Necklace of Fireballs (Type 1) - A fine, gold, and extremely feminine looking (or perhaps just elvish?) necklace with red glass beads. Worn by a male non-elf may attract some looks.
- Dust of Dryness
- 1500gp in various coins and gems

====================
*** Congratulations! ***
As a reward for successfully completing this scene everyone is awarded 3080xp. That should be enough for everyone to hit level 6! Please let me know if this is not the case for anyone

OOC:

Oh and a reminder that there is another party happening right now in the Giggling Ghost! Drop on in to celebrate with other players and to win any number of prizes!!!


Kane' Ma'Kai (SteveK) AC24/ T18/ F20/ CMD 18) HP 26/40 
Friday December 13th, 2013 6:59:44 AM

Kane doesn't drink any alcohol having remembered what happened his first time only a few days ago. Declining the honor drink is another matter and he politely takes a sip before being surprised at how heAdy a drink purple wine is!

Spirysn'rar Kilarn (Ian) AC 17/13/14 - CMD 14 - HP 20/20  d20+9=19 ;
Friday December 13th, 2013 2:54:36 PM

Spire raises his eyebrows at the wine and at the gifts, thank Linos with a sloppy slur that is unbecoming of the usually put-together elf. "I have not seen craftsmanship like this in... in some time," he mumbles, picking up the Necklace of Fireballs.

Magana (Craig) [AC19] [HP 71 of 71] 
Friday December 13th, 2013 3:40:23 PM


Magana wobbles slightly as she reverently accepts the purple wine. She raises her shot in salute and calls out, "Hear me Domi! All Your children are represented here this evening in peace and brotherhood. Grant us all the courage and strength to fight for Your vision of unity and peace. Salute!"

She tosses back the potent elixir and savors the rich flavor before swallowing. Magana fully intends to run up the Stallion's bar tab as much as possible, even if it means greeting the dawn unable to focus her eyes.



Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC22 - HP33) 
Friday December 13th, 2013 4:05:15 PM

Zeoll looks at the totem bag with sad eyes, then picks it up and cleans it off. He asks Spire if the mage would read an Erase scroll to fix it up if Zeoll bought one.

His eyes brighten, and he smiles, at seeing the philters. "You know," he says conversationally, "it was a frriend of mine who invented these philterrs. His name was Torros, but nowadays many just call them Taurr's Philterrs. He also invented the cantrrip I still use to this day, also bearring his name."

"These will be verry useful!"

"This," he says, touching the totem bag, "not so much." No one here can use the totem bag -- you have to be a Taur divine caster who honors Domi. Zeoll used to wear one, a long long time ago. But he and Domi parted ways a lifetime ago.

So he just sits back and enjoys the excellent purple wine ... and thinks about friends long gone.

The old liontaur raises his glass at Magana's toast, but his wry smile -- and the flick of his tail -- suggests that he finds it mildly ironic.

But he does not forget his manners. "Thank you, frriend Linos, and please convey ourr thanks to the Stallion."

(Brock) Jozhur AC19/14/15--CMD 18--HP 39/43  d20+13=25 ;
Friday December 13th, 2013 11:33:51 PM

Jozhur indulges in a drink (or three), ale if its available. Always the connoisseur of anything alcoholic, he delightedly tries the sacred wine. "Thank you Linos, for everything. I like fine weapons as much as I like fine beverages. Perhaps you could show me the Whistalwood longbow you mentioned, I'd like to have a look at it. Might be time to replace the trusty Hickory bow. I promise not to buy the one you want."

-----------------
Bluff: 25 (Jozhur is looking to gift the bow to Linos)

DM Rob - Let's get the party started 
Monday December 16th, 2013 5:36:12 AM

Kane' remains as sober as a dwarf on ... wait, bad analogy. The witch does politely taste of the purple wine.

Spire is quite happy to indulge in the Stallion's hospitality. The necklace of fireballs catches his eye long enough to pause drinking.

Magana too is enjoying the drinks on offer. Her toast is met by many raised eyebrows. It is not often a Minotaur and Linotaur drink to the health of the combined Taur races on Centaur Island.

Zeoll maintains his composure through the celebrations, taking his time to view each gift individually and pausing to reminisce about the philters.

Jozhur finds the ale acceptable and tries to pry a bit more information from Linos about this bow he is after. Linos is happy to share "Ah yes, its on display at Picket's Thicket. What a bow! Straight grained, finely twisted string, moulded grip - oh!" he is happy to join in the drinks, but maintains moderation.

=========================================
OOC: Folks please let me know once you have adjusted your sheets for your new level

Kane' Ma'Kai (SteveK) AC24/ T18/ F20/ CMD 18) HP 26/40 
Monday December 16th, 2013 5:46:48 AM

Kane enjoys the night. (Lol!)

Spirysn'rar Kilarn (Ian) AC 17/13/14 - CMD 14 - HP 20/20 
Monday December 16th, 2013 10:10:50 AM

Spire mutters a short incantation to himself, casting Prestidigitation to clean the bag off of the paint. If that does not work, he agrees to read the scroll before stumbling off to bed. Including the wine, Spire had only four drinks, but it is the first time many members of the Lionfish have seen him drink.

((OOC :: Sheet should be updated tonight, tomorrow at the latest.))

Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC22 - HP33)  d20+10=12 ; d20+10=12 ; d20+10=21 ; d20+10=30 ; d20+10=22 ; d20+10=15 ; d20+10=18 ;
Monday December 16th, 2013 10:55:03 AM


Zeoll thanks Spire for his help. If the Prestidigitation fails, Zeoll plans to visit the Catacombs tomorrow to get an Erase scroll.

Looking at the treasure makes Zeoll think. A seasoned adventurer, the old liontaur knows that the group needs to figure out exactly what is the what with each of the items. He casts Detect Magic and Guidance and inspects each item.

Zeoll asks Spire to look over anything he cannot figure out. "Elves arre good at this, rright, my frriend?" [OOC: Elves get a +2 to ID items.]

UNKNOWN LOOT (Zeoll's Modified Spellcraft Roll is next to each, with the CL potentially identified)

Zeoll also tries to get everybody thinking about which items they would actually use.

"Myself, I do not need any arrmorr orr weapon, and I'd rratherr use my mage arrmorr spell than any brracerr. The Philterrs would be useful forr anyone."

(Brock) Jozhur AC19/14/15--CMD 18--HP 39/43 
Monday December 16th, 2013 4:47:28 PM

Jozhur looks over the items, "The only thing I may want would be the bracers. Maybe the philters or the dust, but anyone could use those."

When he has a chance, Jozhur heads to Picket's Thicket and checks the price on the longbow.
-------------

I'll try to get my sheet updated when I get home tonight.

Magana (Craig) [AC19] [HP 71 of 71] 
Monday December 16th, 2013 6:39:54 PM


(ooc: sheet already updated)

In the wee hours of the morning Magana regales the patrons with tale after tale of her exploits in an increasingly slurred voice.

"... so, since we couldn't bribe the guard, we went around back and I toshed the dwarf up to the third floor balcony. The mistresh of the house was "entertaining" three young men and a crowd of onlookers and they never even saw him slip into the..."

...

"...and when I woke up, the cashket was open, the corpse was hanging from the rafter by its feet, and the dogs had the gnome cornered! It was a good thing he had a jug of endlesh ale, because they wouldn't..."

...

"...well, I'd had enough at this point. I yanked the floppy end loose and before you could say "halflings love trouble" the whole stack of "left-handed" shpears fell against the "right-handed" ones. You could hear the bellow from the..."


Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC22 - HP33) 
Monday December 16th, 2013 8:08:47 PM

Zeoll listens intently to Magana's stories, mentally taking notes while sipping very watered wine. He thinks with a little punching up a storyteller could turn these tales to gold!

Character sheet is updated.

DM Rob - The Hangover Part IV 
Tuesday December 17th, 2013 5:51:44 AM

Jozhur excuses himself from the group to check out Picket's Thicket. The bow in question is easily identifiable. The centaur owner - one Whilsohn Picket - politely advises that the bow is not for sale. He goes on to explain that he wouldn't feel right in selling anything made of whistal wood to someone outside of the clan. As Jozhur advises (I assume) that he is enquiring on behalf of Linos, Whilsohn lets him know that Linos still has 50gp owing on the bow.

The party enjoy the rest of the night and party into the wee hours. Magana regales both the group and anyone that will listen with tales of her past. She finds her mug regularly topped up and the centaur crowd soften.

Noone gives a second thought to the fact that Annoir and the other captives are currently being executed.

As the night ends, Zeoll and Spire look over the loot whilst cleaning up the tauric bag at the same time.

Zeoll identifies:
+1 Greataxe
+1 Longsword
+1 Banded Mail

Still to identify:
Unidentified Rapier
Unidentified Greataxe
Unidentified Banded Mail
Unidentified Bracers

The sun rises the next morning and so too do the party. But with Annoir gone, what is there to do now?

Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC22 - HP33) 
Tuesday December 17th, 2013 6:26:11 AM

Zeoll tells the rest of the party what he has discovered. He is unsatisfied that four items eluded his study. So he gets two competent friends to try to help him.

The old liontaur diplomatically urges Spire to cast Detect Magic and make four Spellcraft checks at +15 to ID the remaining unknown items.

Zeoll turns to Spire the next morning, when his head is clearer. "I know you arre busy as a masterr of dungeons -- I mean, memorrizing new spells forr new dungeons and adventurres and all -- but trry to focus herre on making fourr Spellcrraft checks, frriend Spirre! I know you can!"

Zeoll also grabs his friend Kané and sits him down in front of the unknown four items and urges him to cast Detect Magic and make four spellcraft checks at +11 to ID them.

The old liontaur gives his friend Kané a pep talk:

"I know you arre busy with yourr new job -- as leaderr of this grroup, I mean -- and that you arre away frrom home -- as arre we all, of courrse -- but please just trry to concentrrate on these fourr unknown items for just a moment. [OOC: Kane, click the d20 button four times. Hopefully you can do that from your telephonic device. We can do the rest!]


Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC22 - HP33) 
Tuesday December 17th, 2013 7:40:58 AM

Oh, and if Spire and Kane do try to use Spellcraft to ID the four remaining items, Zeoll stands by repeatedly casting Guidance before each roll for a +1 to the die.

Spirysn'rar Kilarn (Ian) AC 17/13/14 - CMD 14 - HP 24/24  d20+16=34 ; d20+16=20 ; d20+16=35 ; d20+16=28 ;
Tuesday December 17th, 2013 1:31:20 PM

Spire gladly identifies the items for Zeoll, casting GUidance on himself for every roll by uttering a short prayer to Gargul before he does so. Cradling his pounding head, the elf manages to make heads and/or tails of most of the items. (Spellcraft Checks: 34, 20, 35, 28)

Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC22 - HP33) 
Tuesday December 17th, 2013 1:48:35 PM

Thanks Spire! That covers CLs 19, 5, 20, and 13!

Magana (Craig) [AC19] [HP 71 of 71] 
Tuesday December 17th, 2013 6:46:51 PM


Magana groans when the light of the new day pierces the tavern. She lifts her head off the table, slowly, and mutters her morning prayer/conversation to Gargul.

"Ah. Still not enough wine to call me to you, My Lord? Well. I'm sure You know best. Maybe next time. Please grant me the wisdom to follow Your path today."

Kane' casts Identify and Detect Magic to seek the magical properties of the four unknown magic items.

..........

Identify is +10 for 3 rounds per level in Pathfinder, so Kane' should be able to read all magical items with one spell. :-)

Spellcraft +21 with rolls

Rozan (Joe)(AC21/T16/F16 CMD 22) HP56/56

Waking up in some corner of the tavern. Looking around to see where everyone is.

DM Rob - The Hangover Part IV 
Wednesday December 18th, 2013 5:27:02 AM

Between them Kane', Spire and Zeoll are able to identify the remaining items as:
+1 Rapier
+1 Greataxe
+1 Banded Mail
+1 Bracers of Armor

Most of the party take the civilised approach and settle in to their beds.

Magana and Rozan pass out where they stand and awaken in the tavern. Unlike the past few days, some other non-centaurs are now in attendance in this tavern. Humans mostly.

Four of them make their way over to the table Magana is slumped over and stand over her. "Oi!" one says kicking her stool "Rumour is you know where a captain by the name of Annoir is. I think it would be in your best interest to tell us"

Each of the men is armed, though no weapons have been drawn. There's another four humans scattered throughout the tavern.

Wednesday December 18th, 2013 10:24:37 AM

Jozhur counts out 50 gold pieces from a pouch on his belt and hands them over to Whilsohn Picket.

"I'm assuming you'd like to hold it here for him, but I would love to take this bow to Linos myself. It's a gift for his fighting so bravely alongside myself and some others. May I?"

He also purchases 20 arrows and stuffs the quiver with them, whether Whilsohn lets him take the bow with him or not.

He then heads off to get some sleep, he'll find Linos first thing in the morning.

Magana is in no mood to tolerate rudeness in her current state. (she does not roll Perception or Sense Motive - I did not read the spoiler) Without hesitation she stands and punches on one smooth motion. (hits a 19 for 8 points non-lethal damage)

She growls menacingly, "And I think it would be in *your* best interest to keep a civil tongue in your head, human!" (Intimidate 17)


Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC22 - HP33) 
Wednesday December 18th, 2013 8:49:44 PM

Zeoll wakes in the morning and goes a-searching for his friends. His head is filled with splitting up the latest loot, truth be told!

DM Rob - The Hangover Part IV - Barfight!!!  d20+6=25 ; d20+6=23 ; d20+6=11 ; d20+6=11 ; d20+1=21 ; d20+1=7 ; d20+1=3 ; d20+1=6 ; d20+6=21 ; d20+6=18 ; d20+6=25 ; d20+6=20 ; d3+4=7 ; d3+4=7 ; d3+4=7 ; d3+4=6 ; d3+4=7 ; d3+4=5 ; d3+4=7 ;
Thursday December 19th, 2013 5:53:26 AM

Zeoll, Kane', and Spire return downstairs to the tavern from their room above. Jozhur returns to the tavern from his shopping trip. They all arrive at the same time to a sight they should have expected. Magana - the minotaur - starting a bar fight.

She throws a punch at one of the humans striking him solidly in the chest. His armor looks to have protected him from the damage however. The group are obviously not in the mood for her antics and respond in kind, joined by the other 4 humans in the tavern.

No map. Assume the first 4 humans 5ft steps to surround Magana and get +2 for flanking (which I forgot to add to the rolls). Magana is large, and we'll assume a table is on one side, that still leaves space for 10 humans. Fortunately there are only 8 :)
Magana - Note for sleeping in medium armor you take "a --2 penalty on Strength and Dexterity and can't charge or run." I'll assume you have AC18


Human 1: Hits 27 & 23
Human 2: Hits 25 & 9
Human 3: Hits 13 & 5
Human 4: Hits 13 & 8
Human 5: Hits 21
Human 6: Hits 18
Human 7: Hits 25
Human 8: Hits 20

7 attacks hit. 7 + 7 + 7 + 6 + 7 + 5 + 7 = 46 points non lethal damage (thanks to some awesome DM rolling!)

Humans 5, 6, 7 & 8 provoke and AoO since Magana has 10ft reach.

"Tell us what we want to know and we'll let you leave with your teeth intact" human 1 advises as he delivers a solid blow to Magana's kidneys.

The bartender is not in attendance, but a young centaur waitress looks distressed. She pushes past Jozhur to exit. From the outside Jozhur can hear a womans voice calling for guards.

Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC22 - HP33) 
Thursday December 19th, 2013 11:25:16 AM


"STOP THIS IMMEDIATELY!" shouts Zeoll, and follows up with his Calm Emotions spell.

Everyone within a 20 ft diameter centered on the fight (Magana, NPCs, all eight human enemies) has to make a DC20 Will save or stop fighting.

Zeoll points out the people who resist his magic, and specifically tells his unaffected friends -- Kane and Spire -- NOT to attack the ones who are calmed. The others who are non-calmed are fair game.

(Brock) Jozhur AC20/15/15--CMD 20--HP 49/49  d20+11=27 ; d20+9=14 ; d6+3=9 ; d6=3 ; d6=1 ;

Jozhur is taken aback at the sight of Magana surrounded and vein beat on by eight humans. He wastes no time drawing his sap and rushing in to aid the crew's new friend.

(attack of opportunity time frame)

Magana Rages at the ambush (free action) and attack the human #8 as he unwisely enters her reach (hits a 13 for 4 dmg.)

(on her/Zeoll's action)

Zeoll's spell hits Magana doubly hard (will save 8), since it results in the sudden loss of her Rage as well, and she staggers to one knee as all motivation and strength of will is sucked out of her in an instant.

"But a deliberate slap to Miss Magana?" Kane' is not entirely sure that that is the wisest course, but acknowledges that having Magana NOT under Zeoll's spell is a good idea.

Dodging into the fray, the half-elf strikes at the minotaur but only hits a nearby wall.

AC to hit Magana = AC 6

Friday December 20th, 2013 4:31:51 AM

Zeoll is first to act, and seeks to calm the situation down. Rather than looking to stop the fighting completely he only seeks to stop the enemy - and directs Kane and Spire to target those unaffected by his spell (Can a spellcaster determine who has and who hasn't saved versus his spell?)

Jozhur doesn't know how the fight started but the sight of Magana being attacked spurs him into action. He cartwheels across the room and tries to sap slap one of the humans, but alas misses.

Spire grimaces that the party are in combat again, but has the presence of mind to bless them in their endeavours.

Magana falls under Zeoll's spell and finds herself unable to fight. Kane' hesitates but reluctantly agrees to - and tries to - slap Magana.

This has an interesting consequence... From the text on Calm Emotions: "Any aggressive action against or damage dealt to a calmed creature immediately breaks the spell on all calmed creatures.". Your DM rules that this slap was intended as an agressive action intended to bring Magana around, but the fine print means it breaks the enchantment for all.

The humans take their turns and continue their pack attack on Magana.

Human 1: 24 & 4
Human 2: 22 & 10
Human 3: 26 (26=Crit confirmed) & 9
Human 4: 10 & 8
Human 5: 12 & 7
Human 6: 22 & 7
Human 7: 20 & 3
Human 8: 12 & 7

5 attacks hit - 1 being a crit. Damage = 7 + 6 + 5 + 5 + 9 = 32. Combined with the 46 from the previous round, I believe that puts Magana unconscious with 7pts lethal damage.

The humans have their fists raised, ready to continue the fight. Not one of them has taken a scratch yet.

OOC: Rob, for "target" spells, the caster CAN sense if the save was made. For "area" spells, the caster cannot. Calm Emotions is an area spell! Also, although I was thinking about an Aid Another style action to get Magana out of it, in hindsight I agree with your interpretation.

Zeoll swears under his breath in liontaur: "By Flower's Fat Fanny, a continent and an ocean stand between me and the last time I cast that spell! I forgot how it works!"

He watches carefully to see if the humans attack. If they do, he has another Calm Emotions to cast, and hopefully this time it will work better. (Readied action: cast if any of the humans attack)

He speaks, this time in common, "Therre's no need forr unpleasantness. The answerr was at yesterrday's public trrial. Annoirr was convicted by the Stallion yesterrday and sentenced to death. Everrybody in this town can tell you that."

Spire slides over next to Zeoll, making sure his clerical symbol is clearly visible. "What business do you have with Annoir? Are you allies of his?" (Diplomacy Aid Another: 17, +2 to Zeoll's Diplomacy check)

Kane', standing beside Magana, touches the minotaur with a healing spell, and frowns at the humans. Taking his courage like a luffing sail, he summons a stern disposition. "Stop your attacks now! You are warned that this minotaur is a crewmate of the Lionfish. You strike her and you strike at us all."

Kane' isn't very intimidating, but hopes that his words ring true in the ears of the human assault.

Cure Serious Wounds (Empowered)(1s re-rolled) 7, 8, 8, +6 = 27 *50% = 40 healing to Magana!

While unconscious, Magana has a distorted vision of carpenter ants building a festive but chaotic temple to a whirling globe filled with clouds.

What an odd thing, she thinks.

Monday December 23rd, 2013 6:10:18 AM

Magana dreams of ants, a temple, and a globe. How could this dream be interpreted?

Kane delivers a much needed healing spell to Magana before delcaring her to be a member of the Lionfish

"Lionfish? The way she fights its more like the Catfish" human 1 taunts
"hehe... Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur" Warren starts to sing
"Shut-up Warren!" human 3 snips back at Warren

Spire, Zeoll and Jozhur finally resort to diplomacy.

"We only sailed in this morning. What do you mean executed? If he's dead then how will anyone be able to collect the bounty?" human 1 asks aloud "The harbormaster in Bonetown is offering a few coins for Annoir to be returned alive"
Sense Motive DC7 Highlight to display spoiler: {His smile, and the reactions from the rest of his crew, lead you to believe that the 'few coins' he mentions may be more than just a 'few'. Of course, you already knew that}

Jozhur and Zeoll are unable to get a fix on whether the rest of what he is sayin is true or not - or whether he may even be a part of Annoir's crew.

"Come on, boys. Let's go find the stallion and find out what's going on"

The men carefully file out the door, Warren humming to himself as he leaves.

It would seem word has not reached Bonetown that Annoir is now deceased.

The centaur guards arrive just in time. Zeoll can spy them talking with the barmaid outside. She is gesturing and pointing towards the tavern area.

Condition: fatigued

Magana regains consciousness and, with a groan and a chuckle, regains her feet.

"Nothing like a good beating to chase away a hangover! Good morning comrades. Anyone feel like getting some food?"


Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC22 - HP33) 
Monday December 23rd, 2013 5:25:09 PM

Zeoll has no trouble figuring out the motives of the humans. "They want the rewarrd forr Annoirr, of courrse."

He joins Magana and apologizes to her for not having mastered his spell. He explains to her and to everyone what he was trying to do. And in the future, he will try harder not to affect his friends. And when he casts the spell, it is important that his friends not attack -- just ready attacks if attacked. Because attacking a calmed person breaks the spell for everybody.

Magana (Craig) [AC19] [HP 71 of 71] 
Monday December 23rd, 2013 11:48:00 PM


"Nothing to apologize for!" Magana replies to Zeoll. "We live and die at the will of the gods, good wemic, I trust that They weigh our errors alongside our intentions. When our time comes, let it not be the threads woven into our passing that are of concern, but the entire tapestry! Come. Let us take our fill of another glorious day."

Tuesday December 24th, 2013 2:20:12 PM

Kane' wisely doesn't speak more until the humans are tramping up the hill to see the Stallion. "If those humans are as impulsive with Stallion Pholus as they were here, we will have no trouble staying ahead of the news of Annoir's execution. They will be cooling their heels in gaol!"

As it is, Kane' has NO interest in going against the will of the Stallion and intends to stay put. The first thing is to sort the treasure they have collected and parcel it out.

ooc: anyone keeping track? Cause I wasn't .

Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC22 - HP33) 
Tuesday December 24th, 2013 2:28:37 PM

Zeoll stands up and gets ready for the centaur guards if they enter and want answers. He figures that since the Stallion owes them one, there should be no problem, but he's ready to try to talk his way out of any situation.

DM Rob - The Hangover Part IV - Spread the word? 
Wednesday December 25th, 2013 7:53:45 AM

Kane scoffs as the humans leave, judging their impulsiveness. Of course, were he here to see how the fight started he would realise that it was Magana who threw the first punch.

Zeoll apologises for his lacklustre spell and keeps a watch on the guards outside. It takes a few moments before they do enter the tavern.

"What's the saying? 'A minotaur wind blows no good'?" the first of the three guards says on entering and seeing the battered and bruised Magana "We have a witness says you struck an unarmed man. We expect visitors to uphold the law as much as any citizen here. Got anything to say for yourself?"

The guards wear banded armor emblazoned with the image of a tall green tree, and hold spears (or possibly lances) at their sides.

OOC: Merry Christmas all!

Magana shrugs, unconcerned. "The human challenged me with a thinly veiled threat. I responded as the situation warranted. I didn't draw my weapon and no one got killed. Nothing is even broken. Since when are common bar fights illegal?"

Monday December 30th, 2013 5:52:12 PM

Kane' stands by his crewmate, though the young half-elf is quiet. For the BloodWitch, Magana is doing just fine without any input on Kane's part. :-)

"If you want to act like an animal then I suggest you head back to Fort Beast. We like order around here, and we've better things to do than to keep watch over a minotaur with anger issues." the guard stands before Magana unimpressed "If it wasn't for the Stallion I'd be looking to charge you with assault and disturbing the peace. Even he has to agree with keeping the peace around here, so you can take this from me that this is your only warning not to push your luck with the law again"

The centaur eyeballs Magana but says no more. He turns and heads back outside to talk to the barmaid again.

Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC22 - HP33) 
Wednesday January 1st, 2014 8:42:21 PM


Zeoll slaps Magana on the back. "Well done!" he says. "The way most centaurrs trreat theirr brrotherr taurrs, you got off quite well indeed!"

Magana (Craig) [AC19] [HP 71 of 71] condition: fatigued, hungry! 
Thursday January 2nd, 2014 7:10:47 PM


Magana snorts in contempt with as the pompous centaurs leave. "The way most centaurs treat their brother Taurs is an affront to Domi's will, Zeoll," she corrects mildly, then exhales sharply and with finality. "And not worth our concern before breakfast! What is the plan this morning Kane'?'


Kane' Ma'Kai (SteveK) AC13/ T13/ F10/ CMD 17) HP 47/47 
Thursday January 2nd, 2014 8:36:00 PM

Kane' is momentarily taken aback by the direct question from Magana; what IS the plan for today? The bronzed half-elf is still quite unused to the role of 'leader' among the Lionfish crew, but is wise enough to cede the argument before it truely begins. He remembers a favored uncle from his childhood before the blood and slavery say; you ride the wave you are on.

Straightening his shoulders to impersonate his warrior ancestors, the BloodWitch speaks confidently. "We practice and wait for the word from the Stallion. That and divide the treasures gained and perhaps purchase items that would be useful in the future?"

Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC22 - HP33) 
Thursday January 2nd, 2014 9:46:14 PM

"Good idea, Captain Kane!" says Zeoll.

He takes his loot ledger out of his pocket and passes it around.

"Who wants to claim any of this in advance of selling the balance?" Zeoll inquires.

DM Rob - Time to split the loot  d20+8=11 ; d20+8=23 ;
Friday January 3rd, 2014 4:29:11 AM

Zeoll and Magana are happy to see the guards leave. They still stand outside talking with the barmaid. She looks to be giving them a recount of the event.

Magana is the one with the main question though - what now? One should probably be careful of such questions, as fate will usually step in with an answer.

Kane' tries to take the role of captain in his stride and suggests perhaps the first thing to do is to take care of the loot.

Zeoll quickly brings out his ledger of what's what.

Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC22 - HP33) 
Friday January 3rd, 2014 6:36:47 AM

"Perrsonally," says Zeoll, "I am interrested in all of the Philterrs, which have a combined value of about 2,500 gp. The prroblem is, if I settle for gold only, I could likely afforrd that meta rrod of extend I've had my eye on, and that's useful forreverr. So I gotta go forr the gold."

Magana (Craig) [AC19] [HP 71 of 71] condition: fatigued, hungry! 
Friday January 3rd, 2014 5:10:46 PM


Magana glances without much interest at the list. "Human sized gear is not much use to me. I already snagged one their axes for splitting firewood, anyway."

(OOC: I have that axe listed in my inventory as 'Soldier MM's "VERY high quality" greataxe'. Is this one of the axes that is on the list?)

"The only thing I would be interested in are the bracers."

When he gets the chance, Jozhur sets off to inform Linos that he should go pick his bow up.

--------------
I'm ok with calling the philters party loot and not including them in the loot total. I'll take the bracers if no one else wants them.

Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC22 - HP33) 
Saturday January 4th, 2014 5:34:44 PM

Zeoll says to Jozhur, "My frriend, let me cast a Mage Arrmorr on you each day forr a benefit four times as powerrful. But why would you want eitherr these brracerrs or my spell when you have that lovely arrmorr?"

OOC: We could keep the phitlers of divination as party items since all benefit from information. But the philter of mirror image? What good is that as a party item? I say sell that one.

Ah, if the armor bonus from the bracers can't be used in addition to armor, I don't want them.
