DM Shane Tuesday June 21st, 2016 9:58:18 PM Leskni says just the right words to break the stern countenance and icy resolve of the Drow Elder sister. she even snorts a bit of a laugh in spite of herself and looks a bit embarrassed by the slip. to cover she first feigns interest in what Carver, Armand, and Atlas have to say, but then becomes interested despite herself. Gaston allows himself to be disengaged from the confrontation, with a look of relief, as though he just now remembered he was trying to antagonize some of the more feared denizens of the underdark.
The tension flees the room, to be replaced with honest anger and a bit of regret. swords are sheathed and poses relaxed.
Oddly as the talk about the attacking drow is verified, Eclyndryl eyes stray to the one with the upset stomach, and a suspicious look crosses her face, for just a moment.
Mack looks about the room, and spies several things that could be clandestine listening posts or secret doors or peep holes. but do you want to explore them right now?
Laughing water steps in, now that bloodshed has been avoided, I'm certain the we are all just a bit on edge from the journey and the attack. why don't we retire for the day, everybody get some rest and try this again come tomorrow?
Gaston nods his agreement to that, while Eclyndryl simply turns with her entourage, exits the meeting room and heads upstairs.
Carver (John C) AC 16, AC 18 with shield, CMB 6, CMD 17, HP 48/48 Speed 65 Character Sheet Tuesday June 21st, 2016 10:41:38 PM
Carver whispers to Atlas before they split to go in different directions, "We need shifts tonight, I expect another try." He then escorts Gaston back down to his rooms, the others on the Guard Gaston team he pulls aside after getting him back safely. "Get some rest, we're on shifts all night, I've got first after dinner time, then I'll be back early.with breakfast for whoever has last shift over night." He then spends the rest of the day doing roving patrols in the area of Gaston's rooms.

Owen needs only two hours of sleep, so he spends most of the night wandering around near the drow quarters, listening carefully for whispers in Woldian Below.
Leskni (Paul Jackson) AC: 15/14/11; HP 35/35; CMD: 16 Character Sheet d20+14=23 ; Wednesday June 22nd, 2016 12:46:34 AM
I'm going to put a couple of things in here. Lots to cover and may speed things a little
Leskni would first go to the group to tell them what her plan is. The remainder only happens if the group agrees.
To the group "As you know, i put some plants into both sets of guests rooms. I don't care one whit about going behind Gastons back but I really want to keep Eclyndryl friendly which means that I think it is best if I, at least, am completely honest with her. I want to ask her permission to question the plants in her rooms, especially the fern in the bathroom"
Assuming agreement, Leskni goes to Eclyndryl and asks to speak to her alone,
Assuming she agrees, she then asks Eclyndryl to make sure that they are not being scryed on
Assuming that is ok, to Ecly :
"We are trying to get to the bottom of what happened. I would like your permission to cast a spell on the plants in your rooms. It will allow them to communicate with me and, perhaps, get some information that will help us to get to the bottom of this. I will also be asking the plants in Gastons room but I won't be bothering to ask HIS permission. YOU I respect. He is an idiot.
If there are some questions you would want me to NOT ask the plants tell me what they are and I will not ask those questions. Or just tell me the questions that I may be permitted to ask"
Leskni is quite sincere in all that. Diplomacy of d20+14=23
Mack (Eric R) AC: 16 (T 16 FF 13), CMD: 15; HP 38/38, Speed: 30' Wednesday June 22nd, 2016 10:15:33 AM
Mack will try to find a time to inform the group of the "things that could be clandestine listening posts or secret doors or peep holes."
Once everyone has left the room he wants to examine them.
Armand (Robert D) AC 16/touch11/flat15 HP 34/41 CMD 16 Character Sheet d6=1 ; d6=5 ; d6=4 ; d6=4 ; Wednesday June 22nd, 2016 10:24:31 AM
(OOC assuming we have escorted the parties back and are able to speak in private.)
"Go ahead Leskni. It sounds like you have developed a relationship with the Drow. However, did you put any plants in the unoccupied rooms? It would be interesting to know if anyone has climbed from one room into the Drow's room and back."
Mack's revelation about the conference room in unnerving. "I think we need to determine if these listening posts and/or secret passages are new or have been there awhile. Unfortunately I will be needing eight hours of rest. But I can move my sleeping gear to the conference room. That way I can be near Mack should anything happen." He's looking at 'Osul when he finishes.
Channel energy 13
"Does anyone need more healing?"
While everyone is still together..."Should we approach Laughingwater and/or Miles about Mack's discovery? I think Atlas or Carver would be best suited for that. And now before we depart, let me heal everyone."

Carver continues his plans....
'Osul(Graham) AC:11 (T:11, FF:10), CMD:15, HP:12+13=25/32 Thursday June 23rd, 2016 8:59:33 AM "Armand, exactly what I was about to ask, otherwise I would have needed a full night's rest and more. Thank you."
"And come morning I'll need a more useful array of spells."
DM Shane Thursday June 23rd, 2016 12:36:46 PM Leskni comes up with a plan and gets approval from Armand to go with it. He channels energy and everyone gets topped of on health. Mack informs everyone of his discovery and the question comes up about who they should tell. do you do that first? or just start messing around in Ciyradyl's meeting room?
Leskni goes up to the 2nd floor where the drow are staying the captain is setting in a chair at the top of the stairs looking down on you as you climb up. He holds up his hand, and asks in broken common. "Please to stop! What is business is you need?.
Leskni (Paul Jackson) AC: 15/14/11; HP 35/35; CMD: 16 Character Sheet Thursday June 23rd, 2016 12:48:24 PM "Hello. I'd like to speak to Eclyndryl please. I promise that I have no ill intent. I'm willing to leave my weapons here if you wish"
OOC: note that I did NOT offer to leave Pella or my spell component pouch. If pushed, would have Pella remain outside. Reminder- he is currently in battle form (ie, the size of a medium creature)
Armand (Robert D) AC 16/touch11/flat15 HP 41/41 CMD 16 Character Sheet d8+5=8 ; d20+9=23 ; Thursday June 23rd, 2016 12:59:14 PM "Wait." Armand puts his hand to his head and closes his eyes. "I think Gargul says that before we proceed with examining this room we should talk to the owners and those involved."
He lowers his hand and opens his eyes. "As I see it then we have to speak to several people. Leskni has already left to speak to the Drow. Atlas and perhaps Owen, do you want to speak to Miles since he a military sort? I'm just thinking out loud here since you both have a military history. I think I'll go speak to Ciyradyl. Does anyone want to come with me?"
Burning 1st level sanctuary to cast cure light wounds on 'Osul. Heal 8 hp (d8+5)
Armand will then leave to speak to Ciyradyl. He will ask about the secret passage(s) and peep holes/listening holes in the meeting room. Diplomacy 23 (d20+9). "Ciyradyl, I have grave news. It appears someone may have tampered with your the meeting room in the Tavern. Mack has discovered that someone has put in several clandestine listening posts or secret doors or peep holes in the meeting room. Who do you think could have done this? What should we do about it?"
Atlas Sunowl (Trey) AC: 21 (T 13 FF 18), CMD: 20; HP 52/52 Character Sheet Thursday June 23rd, 2016 1:25:00 PM
Atlas first addresses Armand and Owen, "Owen, do you mind speaking to Miles? I would like to join Leskni. I do not think it is a good idea for any of us to be dealing with the two parties alone. Too much bad can happen.
"Armand, keep us posted on your conversation with Ciyradyl. If we have to move the meeting to a new location then we'll need to scope it out first."
Atlas accompanies Leskni to the rooms. He looks at her with disbelief when she offers to put down her weapons, but he bites his tongue for now. He's not putting down his though. If that drow did this then I doubt he'll be taken without a fight.
ooc: Sorry gang, tough week at work, so I missed a few. I will try to make up one or both this weekend.
Owen Marcellus (Weston W.) AC: 12/12/10; HP: 26/26; CMD: 15 Thursday June 23rd, 2016 10:20:14 PM
Owen nods at Armand's suggestion and Atlas' decision to go with Leskni. He finds Miles, knocks on his door and says, "Hey, Mack found some spy-holes looking in on the meeting room in the TTT. Have those been there or has someone been really sneaky recently?"
Carver (John C) AC 16, AC 18 with shield, CMB 6, CMD 17, HP 48/48 Speed 65 Character Sheet Thursday June 23rd, 2016 11:42:35 PM "I wouldn't be surprised if there are spy holes in most rooms, how else do you think people get information. It all depends on who is watching from behind those holes."

The Captain struggles for the words. Yathrin, she no see anyone till sun (he forgets the word and motions his hand up). I ask, you come back tomorrow. talk then..
Ciyradyl looks around the room, making sure no one else is about, walks over and closes the door to her office then walks back over to Armand and 'Osul. She speaks quietly and draws you in close to speak Yes, I know of those things, we put them there after the very first Orc delegation we sponsored tried to use the place to gather a multi tribe raiding party against us. If one of us cannot be a part of the talks in the room we station a listener there as insurance that they are not discussing things which will adversely effect the Tree. I keep them locked, and I know the tells to look for if they are being used without my knowledge. Most of the permanent tree residence know of them, now you do. Please keep it quiet, it's an advantage we need to keep, but it's also seriously a liability should it become known. .
Owen Marcellus (Weston W.) AC: 12/12/10; HP: 26/26; CMD: 15 Friday June 24th, 2016 4:32:27 PM
When Miles doesn't respond, Owen guesses he must be asleep. That's what you get for walking into someone's room in the middle of the night. He returns to the TTT to hear the news from Ciyradyl.
Atlas Sunowl (Trey) AC: 21 (T 13 FF 18), CMD: 20; HP 52/52 Character Sheet Friday June 24th, 2016 5:25:17 PM
Atlas awaits Leskni's response, but he shifts his stance to prepare for conflict knowing full well the drow will read his body language.
Armand (Robert D) AC 16/touch11/flat15 HP 41/41 CMD 16 Character Sheet Friday June 24th, 2016 6:15:28 PM "Very well Ciyradyl. But it's things like this that can make our job somewhat difficult. If we're being assigned a task like providing security for talks I would think we'd be clued in on this. Otherwise we might go spouting off or some such to the wrong people at the wrong time." Armand rubs his forehead.
"Thank you for your time Ciyradyl. Oh you didn't see anything or anyone unusual entering or leaving the Tavern just before the dust up with the air elementals did you? Not necessarily a drow mind you just anyone in general entering or leaving the tavern that didn't really need to be here."
One he gets that answer he will motion to 'Osul. "Anything you want to ask? Otherwise I think we need to get back to the group and tell them not to say anything. Especially Mack, you know how he can be. Maybe one of us needs to head up toward Leskni and warn her that about saying anything as well."
OOC what time of day/night is it? I thought we were escorting the parties to the meeting at noon and then were attacked. How much time has passed.

Mack sits in the conference room. He's tried to the secret compartments and finds them locked. Then he exits the room to see if there's a way into the secret compartments from the other side of the wall someplace. He attempts to be quiet and sneaky. Stealth check 30 (d20+15).
'Osul(Graham) AC:11 (T:11, FF:10), CMD:15, HP:32/32 Friday June 24th, 2016 7:13:29 PM "Thank you Ciyradyl. Yes, Armand, I think that covers it." And with that 'Osul heads back to the group with Armand.
Leskni (Paul Jackson) AC: 15/14/11; HP 35/35; CMD: 16 Character Sheet d20+8=14 ; Friday June 24th, 2016 10:10:02 PM
Ooc: Yathrin? That is ringing no bells with me. Am I forgetting something or is that meant to be a clue? I assume that I DO recognize the Drow guard and he is NOT the one I suspect
Do I perceive any deception on his part? Sense motive of 14 means likely not :-(
"Very well. Please pass word to her that I would like to see her at her earliest convenience. It is rather important"
Leskni will then leave and will have Pella take a position where he can watch the windows from a safe distance, especially the bathroom window. If there is NOT a spot that is reasonably safe Pella will just come join Leskni

Atlas bristles at how easily Leskni gives in to the drow. "Good call on Pella, but I think we should have pushed more back there. The drow understand authority, and we need to show them that we're their equals or they will never respect us. Just my two cents."
Mack (Eric R) AC: 16 (T 16 FF 13), CMD: 15; HP 38/38, Speed: 30' d20+15=19 ; d20+18=37 ; Monday June 27th, 2016 12:32:31 PM
OOC: Thanks for covering for me, Robert! Very appreciated. :) A very nice and relaxing week camping, and now, I'm back! ;)
IC: I, like Owen, only need about 2 hours of sleep; so I do what I can to help keep watch over night so others can get caught up and refreshed. I focus mostly on Gaston's group. Sometimes, I walk about in plain sight. Other times, I try to make it look like I wander off, but find a good place to hide and observe.

the drow guard is the Captain. once you take your leave he sits back down and watched the stairwell..
Marck sneaks well, but no entrances to the hidden chambers are found, at least not in any place you are allowed to go.
the time of day is around 3 PM. you actually do find Miles and tell him of the conference room, he tells you to go talk to Ciyradyl.

Tomorrow I can have zone of truth ready. Though the persons in the zone know the spell is active wouldn't their refusal to answer be the same as admitting of guilt?"
Armand shrugs his shoulders. "Otherwise I'm at a loss. This whole experience is trying. Its not like when you go out to secure the trade route from bandits, or go exploring some old ruins. There's no clear cut objective or path."
Armand continues, scratching his chin. "Because the problem as I see it is, 1 we confront someone that party is innocent, takes offense and the Trade talks gets called off, ruining the Tree's reputation. Or 2 we confront someone who is guilty, they make a scene, people are injured or killed, and the Tree's reputation is damaged. 3 We do nothing, something happens, the trade talks go bad, and the Tree's reputation is damaged. I frankly don't see a win out of this."
Armand stands and begins pacing. "I mean Ciyradyl did not even respond to my question about if anyone was seen in the Tavern immediately before or after the attack that was suspicious or should not have been there. It's like she either ignored the comment entirely or she was deliberately hiding something. In any case I feel we may be just along for the ride. Maybe the best we can do is just keep watch. Maybe split the party even further and while Gaston is moving have someone with him and others stationed sporadically about the tree."
Leskni (Paul Jackson) AC: 15/14/11; HP 35/35; CMD: 16 Character Sheet Tuesday June 28th, 2016 11:04:20 AM
OOC: I would like to know who the heck Yathrin is, please. Or at least know that Leskni is as confused as Paul.
"At this point,I'm not sure that the best thing isn't to ignore the incident. Somebody tried to sabotage the talks, lets just have the talks proceed
I just don't see any good outcome coming from confronting either party. We have no real evidence who was behind it. Without evidence, the best we can hope to accomplish is to get the party we confront to leave in a huff. Do we really expect one or the other to admit to anything?
My personal suspicion is that one of the Drow was involved, but probably not the only one. I wouldn't be surprised to find that he is currently being interrogated.
Hmm, having said that, THAT is an interesting point. If he is being interrogated, then it is likely through torture and we should intervene. But we'd have to force our way in. Talks end regardless. Do we want to end the talks to perhaps save a perhaps guilty drow from what would probably be torture in order to maybe save him? Lots of maybes in that and, even if they all turned out to be true, we end up with a Drow who is guilty and can't go home
i still think the least bad solution is to just let the talks proceed"
Leskni (Paul Jackson) AC: 15/14/11; HP 35/35; CMD: 16 Character Sheet Tuesday June 28th, 2016 11:07:51 AM
addendum to above to make myself clearer:
"I meant that I think that one of the Drow was involved, but only one of the Drow. The others aren't involved. But the Drow who was involved was likely working with somebody else. Either another Drow not here at the tree or some Drow.
But that is all wild speculation based on very, very little data"

Atlas responds to Leskni, "He tried to kill Gaston, I would be patting him on the back and buying him an ale. However, let's see what comes next and we'll react accordingly.
"With that being said, I don't like this react stuff, we should be taking control. We're tip-toeing around everyone when this is our residence, our home. Oh well, easier to heard cats than to figure out how to deal with this security stuff."

Atlas laughs at Carver's comment, "Yeah, if you try to dig too deep it gets confusing, so just sum it up like I do. Gaston claimed a drow attacked them, the drow say they didn't, one drow is acting strange, but Gaston could have staged the whole thing as well. Tomorrow we try again. End of story.
"There is one part that still baffles me though. They say that Gaston didn't curl up and whimper during the battle, so I'm wondering what that is all about. The guy is a coward, his actions in no way represent the same person we know from the past. Something fishy going on there."

DM Shane Wednesday June 29th, 2016 10:44:10 PM
(sorry guys, work was killer yesterday. )
discussions are held, but while theories are put forth, no hard conclusions are found. In the end, it's decided to just let the talks proceed as they are, work damage control and try and figure things out as things progress.
Mack watches Gastons bungalow, the only thing that happens is his manservant goes up to the TTT and gets a bottle of wine shortly after dark.
Sorry Armand Ciyradyl said that nobody left the inn during the time in which the attacks came. at least through the main entrance...it would be pretty easy to leave through a window though...
later on during the night, the Deep night. You hear a blood curdling scream! it gets louder and then fainter before ending abruptly. almost immediately the Night watch horn is blown, everybody is awake now.

Armand (Robert D) AC 16/touch11/flat15 HP 41/41 CMD 16 Character Sheet Thursday June 30th, 2016 10:15:54 AM OOC I'd have to agree with 'Paul' about taking this discussion 'public' as it were, especially since I've PMed you before with questions. We post things and you seem to be ignoring either because, A you have a story and want to tell your story or B because you're too busy to read everything through. I tend to thing the latter though since you miss about 1 post per week.
The last time we were in game it was 3pm. We had our discussion and there was established a watch on Gaston and the Drow. At most, our talk should have only lasted 1 hour, including travel time around the tree. Since we'd established a watch and by your [u]progression[/b] of the time line till the middle of the night, don't you think we would have set up some sort of watch rotation?

I'm on Gaston, and I'm HOPING it was his scream. I've heard him scream like this before. Probably a mouse. ;)
Owen Marcellus (Weston W.) AC: 12/12/10; HP: 26/26; CMD: 15 Thursday June 30th, 2016 1:19:24 PM
Owen looks up from his watch near the Drow quarters, startled. He hadn't meant to sleep, shouldn't have needed to, but perhaps he nodded off for a little while.

Carver gets up, having slept in armor, he uses a lay on hands and is unfatigued as a result. He moves his shield into position and then heads towards the screams....

I have sent an email to the Bonetown DMs and players. Please read.
Leskni (Paul Jackson) AC: 15/14/11; HP 35/35; CMD: 16 Character Sheet Thursday June 30th, 2016 10:10:49 PM
Trying to figure who is where.
Presumably we could have napped a little and so all be awake at night? Seems logical to me and not metagaming. Obviously, night is the time to expect the most trouble.
So, I'd guess/hope that we'd be all awake at night, all awake during and immediately before/after a meeting, and grabbing naps the other times. Should be able to handle that schedule for at least a few days.
Going through past posts, I think that we have :
Drow: Leskni, Owen, Atlas
Gaston: Mack Maybe Armand and Osul ?
Carver - no idea?
Armand (Robert D) AC 16/touch11/flat15 HP 41/41 CMD 16 Character Sheet Thursday June 30th, 2016 10:18:40 PM
I would assume we have some sort of watch system. Unfortunately, Armand needs 8 hours of rest to be able to get back spells in the morning. So Armand would probably have stayed up for the rest of the day and have been resting that night. However he was going to rest in the meeting room to make sure no one tried to get in there. Armand would have wanted to check the unoccupied rooms in the inn to see if someone had used them recently, specifically the windows (during the day before night time). Leskni did you put plants in all the rooms or just the Drow's room?
Carver is on with Gaston.
DM Shane Thursday June 30th, 2016 10:24:34 PM Leskni has never heard the word before, it's all Drow to her.
Mack, ownen or Atlas you were not asleep, but you did not have time to react. Two drow the Captain and another one bust out of the door carrying a limp form between them, struggling weakly, the march over to one of the railings. and unceremoniously dump him over...that's when the screaming starts...and stops a few seconds after. The two turn around and meet Eclyndryl coming down the steps and together they start moving for the stairs down. ( I rolled that whoever was there was caught unaware and did not have time to stop the two from tossing the man overboard, it happened fast, but you can now act freely.
CDM Jerry has requested that we put a hold on any conflict, so I'm slowing this round down. Please repost any questions that you need answered and I shall try and take care of them before we resume.
Leskni (Paul Jackson) AC: 15/14/11; HP 35/35; CMD: 16 Character Sheet Thursday June 30th, 2016 10:58:29 PM
I think that we need to know who is where when this happens.
As I said above. I think Leskni would have been at or near the Drow all night (I haven't used any spells all day so I don't have to worry about sleep to rememorize them). But obviously its partly up to you.
Also, you say Eclyndryl was coming down the steps. Just from her room or from somewhere else?
Carver (John C) AC 16, AC 18 with shield, CMB 6, CMD 17, HP 48/48 Speed 65 Character Sheet Thursday June 30th, 2016 11:50:57 PM
Carver was planning on sleeping not too far from Gaston's rooms. He was expecting to be close if needed...
Owen Marcellus (Weston W.) AC: 12/12/10; HP: 26/26; CMD: 15 Friday July 1st, 2016 12:01:10 AM
Owen walks forward, but not right up to the Drow. "....What seems to be the trouble?", he asks.
Mack (Eric R) AC: 16 (T 16 FF 13), CMD: 15; HP 38/38, Speed: 30' Friday July 1st, 2016 7:31:00 AM
OOC: Well, when we're out adventuring, our current nightly watch is this:
I don't think we were using that at all here at the Tree currently, though. To add to that, Owen and I both only need 2 hours sleep a night now, so we should both be on multiple shifts.
Mack (Eric R) AC: 16 (T 16 FF 13), CMD: 15; HP 38/38, Speed: 30' Friday July 1st, 2016 7:31:37 AM
OOC: And Bendoc needs to be removed from that as well. ;) I'll get the WIKI updated this weekend.
Armand (Robert D) AC 16/touch11/flat15 HP 41/41 CMD 16 Character Sheet d20+6=19 ; Friday July 1st, 2016 10:18:21 AM OOC: Eric when you update the WIKI, please adjust Armand to level 5 cleric. Also I would like to be moved in the nightly watch to the end, that way I have my required rest to get spells back.
Since Armand was staked out (sleeping under the table in the conference room) he may have heard the scream. Fortitude check to wake up. 19 (d20+6).
Armand sits up, and bumps his head into the table. "Now what!" He scrambles up and looks out the door, catching sight of the Drow. He will follow, at a distance.
(OOC: What is the lighting situation in the tree at night, is there the equivalent of street lights? How are we seeing what we're seeing? If there are no lights Armand will cast light on the head of the glaive.)
