Tales of Astonishment!

[Dr.Epic]

You all meet in a tavern…or bar. The establishment’s name is the Devil’s Nest. There’s a band playing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMOhsvhF4Jw&feature=PlayList&p=0491BB58467EA67D&playnext_from=PL&playnext=1&index=21) on stage. The bar tender’s name Al Gorn, a rough, foul talking orc druid. The bar is hectic and people are talking loud and having perhaps too much fun when an old man starts to spasm and falls to the fall. He starts shouting “EXPLOSION!”

Then, moment later, there’s an explosion just like he predicted. The front of the bar is blown wide open. Smoke and wooden slitters flood inward. When the smoke clears you see a squad of armed guards. There’s at least twenty in number. They’re all wearing white armor and have white helms on and carry crossbows except for the man in front presumably the leader. His armor is engraved with gold trimmings. This man has a goatee and a long flowing cape. (you can roll a knowledge nobility and royalty to identify him)

He says “Everyone stay still so our men can shoot. I repeat: stand still and we’ll shoot. These men have really bad aim and can’t hit moving targets so be fair and stand still.”

[Woodsman]

"So is this a stick-up or what?" a particularly massive man (named Einar) asks, one hand resting gently on the hilt of his sword

[Dr.Epic]

Woodsman: The man infront says "We are the town guard and learned there is an outlaw hiding here. You're all under arrest!"

[Woodsman]

"Now, now, I'm sure we can find this outlaw without going to the trouble of arresting everyone. What's his or her name, and what crimes did the outlaw commit?"

[Goblinsplitter]

Curn smiles to himself, hidden in the folds of his robes. "I wonder which one will scream the loudest..." But he can't help but think he should know the man in the cape...

Knowledge: Nobility and Royalty
[roll0]

[Dr.Epic]

Woodsman: "No. Too much time. Instead you're all being charged with the crime of accessory. No stand still so we can pump you full of crossbows bolts!"

edit: Goblinsplitter: You recognize the man as Colonel Griff Brightsword. He's a vicious officer in the royal army infamous for his brutal treatment of enemy forces.

[Woodsman]

"Oh, please. You're going to arrest all of us when we haven't even done anything?" Einar asks, eyes narrowing dangerously. "I assure you few will come quietly."

((How close is the nearest soldier?))

[Goblinsplitter]

Curn flings off his robes, revealing his undead nature, and walks right up to the Colonel, a smug look on his face. "It is a pleasure to meet such a great commanding officer as you my good sir." Curn extends his hand to shake the mans hand.

[Dr.Epic]

Woodsman: "Enough out of you maggot! Come forward and prepared to get beaten, then arrested, then found unreasonably guilt in court, then spend the next 20 years doing backbreaking labor in prison, then painfully executed!"

ooc: The closest guy, the colonel, is 25 feet away.

Goblinsplitter: He looks at you hand and shouts "Quick! This one's trying to fight back." He draws his sword. "Quit resisting arrest!"

[Woodsman]

Einar steps forward calmly. "All right. You wanna fight? Let's."

He draws his sword in one swift motion, fluidly swinging it at the colonel brutally.

(Surprise Round!)
Attack: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]
Maneuver Expended: Foehammer +2d6 [roll2]
Intimidate check, as per "Heart of Terror" ability [roll3]
Colonel and anyone within 5 ft. must make a will save (DC 17) or be shaken due to Aura of Fear

[Dr.Epic]

Woodsman: ooc:I'm gonna need to see some bluff checks.

[Woodsman]

Bluff check: [roll0]

[Goblinsplitter]

Curn smiles sadistically and punches at the Colonel.

Touch Attack
[roll0]
[roll1] plus one constitution damage
Will save DC 17 for half

Forgot about my fear aura as well. DC 17 will save or affected by the fear spell cast by a sorcerer of my level (fifth)

[Dr.Epic]

Woodsman: You attack the colonel and land a successful attack. Outraged, he calls for his men to attack:

From Colonel: [roll0]
damage: [roll1]

from the soldiers:
[roll2]
[roll3]
[roll4]
[roll5]

damage:
[roll6]
[roll7]
[roll8]
[roll9]

[Woodsman]

((So he made his Will save and succeeded against the level check for Intimidate?

Dang.

Edit: It's important because if he fails either one, his attack misses.))

[Narmoth]

"Officer, I think you are mistaken" a man in a long white hooded robe smiles
"You see, we both know your superiors will not approve if they find out of this, especially if they find your little band of merry men slain in the gutter. I suggest you hold your fire and try to find whoever you were looking for in some more peaceful manner"

intimidate (with beguiling influence active) [roll0]

[Dr.Epic]

Narmoth: "Sorry, peaceful isn't in my vocabulary. Fire!"

three soldiers attack you with crossbows:

[roll0]
[roll1]
[roll2]

damage:
[roll3]
[roll4]
[roll5]

[Rannil]

Edwardine jump out her hiding place under a table and shouts."It's enough now!". She closes her eyes and snaps her fingers to create a spark and suddenly a blinding light appears. After she looks around to see if there is any group of soldiers close together.

Pyrotechnics. -> Everyone in 120ft must make a will save DC 16 or is blinded for [roll0] rounds.
I assume my fellow players have more chance making there save then soldier grunts.

[Narmoth]

"That's sad, as now I will have to subdue you" he moves fast towards him, ignoring the shots fired in his general direction

initiative: [roll0]

[Narmoth]

(OOC: we'll need an ooc-thread: link (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=8955049))

[Lix Lorn]

"Lucas! Lucas?" said a rather small, lilac skinned girl-with draconic wings and an obscenely oversized flail. "Can I attack those stupid soldiers now?" she asked, taking said weapon into her hand, lifting it with seemingly little effort, as a small plug shot out of the air from the gourd on her back.

[Woodsman]

"Help would be appreciated!" Einar shouts, bleeding heavily due to the colonel's attack (that really shouldn't have hit, with all these Intimidate checks and auras of fear flying around)

[Dogmantra]

"I suppose it can't do any harm if you do attack them now. Metaphorically, I mean." says Lucas to the lilac-skinned girl.

[Dr.Epic]

Rannil: You blind all the soldiers and many people in the bar but Griff just stands there and grins: "You didn't think it was going to be that easy did you?"

[Narmoth]

Pyrotechnics will save vs dc 16 [roll0]

[Dr.Epic]

The soldiers in white continue to fire despite being blinded. Their aim hasn't been hurt that much. As they continue to shoot, two constructs walk between you and the soldiers. One is a gold-plated slow moving humanoid (http://gamesnet.vo.llnwd.net/o1/gamestar/objects/193178_main.jpg). The other is a small tripod with a dome for a head (http://www.gadgetonian.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/r2d2_robot.jpg).

[Rannil]

OOC: That "you" is me or the party? Meh doesn't matter.

Edwardine smiles as she tries to stand as tall as possible. "Easy isn't my game". She studies to construct quickly and tries to remember what she knows about constructs.
Knowledge Arcana (Constructs): [roll0].

Then she move back and tries to oversee the situation.
I am looking for: Distance between me and Gruff, me and the constructs, groups of soldiers close together. A map?

If I can already take an action I move 40 feet back, still having a standard action over, that depends on the situation how I use that.
If not: Initiative [roll1].

[Dr.Epic]

Rannil: The gold one like a protocol construct perhaps built by some annoying kid that will grow up to be an annoying teenage warrior how will be horribly wounded on the elemental plane of fire.

Distances:
Griff: 20 ft
construct: 30 ft
soldiers: 40 ft

Also, no initiative. I would be too annoying waiting for the next person to post. Just post whenever and not too often.

[Goblinsplitter]

[Woodsman]

Will save: [roll0]

[Goblinsplitter]

"Eat negative energy! Touch attack!"

Touch Attack
[roll0]
[roll1]

[Woodsman]

Einar slashes again, growing angry.

[roll0]
[roll1]
Stance: Martial Spirit; heals 2 pts of damage for every successful attack

[Narmoth]

"You will obey me and stop the attack immediately" Lachtan looks into the commanders eyes and uses dominate (caster lvl 12, will save 19 neg)

[Dr.Epic]

Goblinsplitter: You hear Griff cry out in pain. then he attacks you;

[roll0]

damage: [roll1]

Woodsman: you attack misses

[Rannil]

Edwardine claps in her hands, creating a spark and then shoots a Ray of Fire at Griff.

Ranged Touch: [roll0]

Damage: [roll1] fire.

[Dr.Epic]

Rannil: Your attack scorches Griff. He is looking not good. The soldiers still remain blinded and firing in all random directions. Their bolts take down a few birds and one very unlucky pixie that was flying above the bar.

[Lix Lorn]

Posting in init order is pretty much necessary for international games.
In case you change your mind, Init:



Emily whoops, charging towards the nearest opponent, as sand begins to float out from her gourd, floating around her nebulously.

(Assuming there's an enemy within 80ft:)

She swings the huge ball and chain with a flourish, before launching it at her target.


Attack Roll:
1d20+8
Damage:
[roll1] + [roll2]

[Lix Lorn]

Aaaaaaaargh. (Annoyed)

ooc: Again, that'll slow down the pace. The next person to post might not be on while the other are prevent them from taking their turn and when said person does log on and post the next person might have logged off thus slowing the game down more.

Messed up your die roll did you? I'll fix it: [roll0]

edit: never mind that. Saw you corrected it. You hit lands. Griff's torso looks severely beaten.

[Dr.Epic]

((In all honesty, it makes more sense. Combat is never actually fought taking turns))

Right, just don't post too often and try to keep up with the regular posting count of others.

[Lix Lorn]

I know it would slow it down. But without slowing it down, the minority timezone (read: Me and Mantra) will get left behind.

[Dr.Epic]

I know it would slow it down. But without slowing it down, the minority timezone (read: Me and Mantra) will get left behind.

ooc:So long as everyone only posts a few times each day (no more than say 3) we should still all be on the same wavelength.

Lix Lorn: Griff attacks you: [roll0]

damage: [roll1]

[Lix Lorn]

The attack misses, and with a giggle, Emily whirled the ball and chain around for a second strike.



[roll]268+2 + [roll1]

[Lix Lorn]

I really, really hate my computer.
[roll0]

[Dr.Epic]

Lix Lorn: your attack misses

[Dr.Epic]

Bumping. been awhile since any one posted.

[Narmoth]

(ooc: waiting to hear the result of the dominate before I proceed)

[Rannil]

Another clap in her hands, but this time as Edwardine pulls are hands away from each other a small fire elemental is born in the sparks between her gloves. She sends to Fire Elemental to attack Griff.

Small Fire Elemental
Attack roll: [roll0]
Damage roll 2d4 Second roll is fire damage.

[Rannil]

Oops, don't think that was a hit but still.
Also can my elemental flank in this case? then its a +2 to attack (16) and against flat footed.
[roll0]

[Lix Lorn]

(I was assuming that I can't attack again until my enemy does. XD)

[Dr.Epic]

Narmoth: you attempt fails
Rannil: You miss
Lix Lorn: you can attack again

[Lix Lorn]

Emily swang a third time in delight, the weapon almost glowing with the positive energy glowing through it.

[roll0]
[roll1] + [roll2]

[Dr.Epic]

Lix Lorn: you attack misses.

Griff strikes at you:

[roll0]

damage: [roll1]

[Narmoth]

Lachtan smashes the officer away:
attack [roll0]
dmg [roll1]

"If you don't want to do it the easy way, there are other, less pleasant ways to do it as well..." he states casually

[Dr.Epic]

Narmoth: your attack misses and Griff chuckles at your failure.

[Rannil]

"Whats up with hitting that guy?" Edwardine shrugs. "I succeeded once, here is twice." A loud snap and another beam of fire flies towards Griff.

Ranged Touch:

Damage: fire.

Irony says I miss, double Irony says I hit.

Also can my elemental buddy attack again?
If yes: 1d20+4
[roll2], second is fire damage.

[Lix Lorn]

Lix giggled at his failed attack, and pointed at him with one hand. A cloud of sand flowed towards him, lacerating at him-and pulling at his legs.


Attack roll: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]

In addition, I believe I can attempt to trip him ON TOP of the damage.
Master of Sand (Su): A sand totem barbarian can use his sand as effectively as he could his body. A sand totem barbarian that strikes an opponent with a scouring strike may, as a free action 1/round, attempt a grapple, trip, or bull rush attempt.
I read the 'strikes an opponent' as it does damage as well. If you agree, I try to trip him.
Touch attack roll: [roll2] (He doesn't get an AoO cause I'm using a 'weapon')
Opposed Strength/Dexterity (I get Cha) [roll3]

[Rannil]

Triple Irony wins?

Fire elemental attack try 3 (damn you one post per minute): [roll0]

[Dogmantra]

Lucas finally decides that the battle has gone on long enough and reluctantly begins to recite a poem to inspire courage (hint hint) in his allies.

"Big nasty guard:
Please hit him hard;
Cut down on lard,
'cause it's bad for you.

"They'll need to be healed;
Your weapons you'll wield
In bars or in fields,
With perfect finesse.

"Now they run away,
Run for a day.
Pelt them with hay:
The goddamned bastards trying to interrupt our drinks and arrest us for crimes we never committed."

That's a +1 to attack rolls and damage and -1 to number of Bardic Music uses left for the day.

[Dr.Epic]

Lix Lorn: With your attack, the officer goes down. You hear a loud "CRANK" coming from his body. His torso burst open and it's revealed that Griff is actually a gnome that was piloting some sort of clockwork human-sized mecha. He scrambles to his feet wearing only a loincloth and shouts "I will you see to it you all pay!" and vanishes with a wave of his hands. His guards finally regain sight after Griff leaves and demand to know what just happened.

[Lix Lorn]

"...what the hell." said Emily. "Oh, and nice poem!"

[Dr.Epic]

There's an inscription inside the armor: I bet you'd never guess I was a gnome or recurring villain! HA! HA! HA! HA!

[Woodsman]

Einar scratches his head. "I know I've seen that somewhere before..."

He looks around at the soldiers. "What are you all still doing here?" he glares.

Intimidate!
[roll0]

[Dr.Epic]

You scare most of them away. Five stay and they demand to know why there's a hollow metal shell that looks like the torso of their commander.

[Woodsman]

You scare most of them away. Five stay and they demand to know why there's a hollow metal shell that looks like the torso of their commander.

"Beats the Hell outta me. Now scram before I run this sword through you."

[Dr.Epic]

The five remaining guards continue to shout you're under arrest bu then you hear a loud blast coming from the back of the inn. You race to the back and see a large whole blown there. A cart races away from blast and out of the inn.

[Lix Lorn]

"...let's stay and kill them." said Emily with a grin. "I mean, they tried to kill us! Plus, exp."

[Woodsman]

"We get the same amount for defeating them, you know," Einar points out, investigating the blast zone. "Besides, I can't kill them unless they haven't accepted surrender, and I need to offer it."

[Lix Lorn]

"...spoilsport." she huffed.

[Woodsman]

"Yes, well, that's just my job. Now then, you five, are you going to surrender, run away, or say you want to die and then realize that was the stupider of the three?" Einar asks the five remaining soldiers.

[Dr.Epic]

The cart continues to race off into the distance. You can barely make out a few figures on it, perhaps the outlaws hiding here they were locking for. You here another loud blast coming from back in the tavern.

[Lix Lorn]

"Please say the third." interjected Emily hopefully, ignoring the noises.

[Dr.Epic]

One guard looks at you and says "Those were the outlaws we were looking for!" As he speaks the other four run off without him noticing it. He finally notices he's alone and says "Would you believe I'm actually two young children in a costume and killing us be would cause XP penalty for good players?"

[Woodsman]

"Depends," Einar says, leaning in. "How high is your Bluff modifier?"

[Dr.Epic]

"Bluff modifier? The DM didn't even give me a name."

[Lix Lorn]

"I'm neutral." said Emily helpfully. "...but I'd probably believe you, and killing kids would evilify me."

[Woodsman]

Einar grins and looks at Emily. "He's not two children. He's just one man."

[Lix Lorn]

"Awesome." she grinned. "Please keep fighting."

[Dr.Epic]

"Wait, no! I can tell you where there's a mountain of gold."

bluff: [roll0]

[Woodsman]

Sense Motive: [roll0]
"You're lying, and don't pretend you aren't."

[Dr.Epic]

"Well if you gonna do it do it already. I'm a disposable mook and there was a blast from the front."

[Goblinsplitter]

"Hello XP." Curn chuckles as he swings at the last remaining guard.

[roll0]
[roll1]

[Narmoth]

Lachtan steps in between with great speed (improved initiative, init +9)
"He surrendered. Just leave him be"
diplomacy [roll0]

[Rannil]

Edwardine wanders towards the people gathering around the soldier. "Yeah let the Nameless NPC go before he shows pictures of his 17 children and it turns out it that this is last day for retirement." She rolls her eyes.

[Lix Lorn]

"I like kids. Can we see the pictures of your seventeen children?" asked Emily, cocking her head in interest.

[Woodsman]

"I believe she was being sarcastic about the children," Einar points out.

[Lix Lorn]

She blinked.
"I was?"
.
She caught on.
"Oh. He doesn't actually have any..."

[Dr.Epic]

Goblinsplitter: Your attack lands and intensely harms the soldier. He's alive and conscious but not looking to well.

[Rannil]

"See, it is his last day before retirement. Or otherwise that one guy had prevented that other guy from hitting" She points at Lachtan and Curn

[Lix Lorn]

"Hey, no more attacking him til this kids thing is cleared up!" said Lix angrily, turning to the soldier, sand floating around him protectively. "Do you have any kids, sugar?"

[Dr.Epic]

Lix Lorn: "Not that I know of." :smallwink:

[Narmoth]

"I don't think he should be attacked at all"
Lachtan is now standing between Curn and the soldier, face towards Curn

[Woodsman]

"And what makes you say that?"

[Narmoth]

"The fact that he surrendered. Just as I stood up to prevent the attacks upon the patrons of this place, even though my actions were somewhat ineffective compared to a violent approach I will not let you harm someone who isn't fighting back"

[Woodsman]

"Very well, then," Einar shrugs.

[Lix Lorn]

She giggled.
"He has a sense of humour. Let's keep him!"

[Narmoth]

"Thank you, I'm happy that we could come to an agreement" he turns slightly towards the soldier
"I'm sure you can answer some questions before you leave though: obviously we want to know more about the officer in charge, as well as if he'll try to pursue us, the victims, rather than the criminal you were searching for in the first place""
diplomacy [roll0]

[Woodsman]

"I don't think the man would appreciate us keeping him as a pet," Einar says to Emily.

[Rannil]

"Shouldn't we be more worried at people blowing holes in this building then the possibility of a guy we easily could defeat returning? Raise your hand if you went full power on that bossy guy."

[Dr.Epic]

Narmoth: "Hey, I don't know anything! You're the guys that killed my commanding officer. I should be asking you questions."

[Narmoth]

"Sure. Except that I'm the one who knows how to count, and you obviously don't. You're one. Count how many we are, and then think about who should answer first"

(OOC: are we using core or rich's rules for diplomacy?)

[Dr.Epic]

narmoth: "His name is Colonel Griff Brightsword. We were sent he in arrest probably those criminals that just left in that cart. As for him tracking you down, I doubt that's possible seeing as how you killed him."

[Lix Lorn]

"Didn't you see the gnome?" she asked.

[Dr.Epic]

Lix Lorn: "What gnome? I was blinded by your friend there."

[Narmoth]

"Well, do you see any corpse? No corpse, no crime. And that your commander decided to strip out of his armor to retreat is disturbing, but should place no guilt on us"

[Dr.Epic]

"Whatever, I'm leaving before you guys decide to kill me." The guard starts walking away.

[Narmoth]

"I think we should follow his example and leave this place as well" Lachtan smiles

[Dr.Epic]

just bumping

[Rannil]

OOC: Dunno what to do... plunder and loot I guess.

Edwardine searches through the rubble of the building and the pockets of dead mans and robot-golems looking for any valuable.

[roll0]

Edit: that looks like epic loot

[Dr.Epic]

Rannil: You search through the rubble. You find only a few gold pieces; 11 gp.

in the front of the bar, there are halflings playing around with Griff's exoskeleton. You also see a new whole blasted into the bar. A new character stands in this whole.

[Narmoth]

(OOC: whole, vole (http://www.christianhomeschooler.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/bank-vole1.jpg)or hole?)

[Rannil]

OOC: I think he means a whole hole, maybe a vole is escaping from it, but a whole hole indeed.

Not in a trusting mood, Edwardine studies the new character.

Spot: 1d20+1

[Woodsman]

((I just realized this says "Tales of Atonishment, not Astonishment. How much atoning will we be doing?))

Einar also studies this new character. "Who're you?" he asks

[Rannil]

Maybe I should you know, roll
[roll0]

[Dr.Epic]

Rannil: The guy looks like this:

http://www.hollyworth.com/wp-content/gallery/michael-bay-pictures/michael-bay-net-worth.jpg

Woodsman: The person says "Oh, don't mind me. I was just hearing all the explosions and didn't want to be left out. It sounded like fun."

[Narmoth]

"Right..." Lachtan sighs
"At least I'll get out of here before I get some of your crazy on me"

[Dr.Epic]

narmoth: You leave the bar. A large crowd of people stands outside it wondering and asking what is going on with all the explosions.

[Rannil]

Edwardine follows Lachtan outside, for no other reason then the fact he is a PC interesting.

[Dr.Epic]

Rannil: You continue to be in a fuss about all the explosions. They look worried. They heard imperial forces were here.

[Narmoth]

Lachtan looks for a spot in the shadow, then turns to Rannil
"So, what's your story? You seem accustomed to that kind of incidents, as the one inside" he asks in a low voice

[Rannil]

"People, people. Do not worry. Nothing happened, just someone handing out free gold and a few others overreacted. Even the walls wanted a share and left, so that's why there are holes. And there where no Imperial guards, just a bunch of drunk soldiers bluffing that were Imperial."



Although I got the feeling no one is going to believe me, here is a roll to prove my feelings.
Bluff: [roll0]
Edit: OOC: Owh heya ninja.
I see a 19, i misuse that.



Seeing the people lightly distracted Ewardine dives into the shades next to Lachtan. "I'm a State Alchemist, or rather, soon to be a State Alchemist. Things like this always happen where ever I travel." She whispers back.

[Narmoth]

"Well, it's nice to meet you. My name is Lachtan. I'm simply traveling the land, with no particular destination. I prefer to attract much less attention than what happened there, but since trouble seems to find me even when I'm actively avoiding it, I wouldn't say no to traveling companions" he smiles
or trail rations, as they also are called he thinks silently before continuing
"At least not to anyone as adept in combat as you are"

[Lix Lorn]

Emily darted over to Lucas, pulling on him insistently as she headed outside.

[Dogmantra]

"Um... what's going on?" said Lucas as he was grabbed. He tried to resist for a moment, but gave up quickly.

[Lix Lorn]

"The captain of the guards was a gnome in a suit and we're... I dunno, doing something." babbled Emily, pulling him along.

[Rannil]

"Pleasure to meet ya. Names Edwardine. To be honest I shouldn't attract that much attention, I do am on official business. Some kind of investigating and I think what just happened is related. Glad to have someone that can watch my back." She smiles and bows while she wonders: 'Some one else attracting trouble, is this related, I should find those others then.' "If you want to help me, we might get some clues finding those others that fought against the imperial."

P.S. DM
If I like you can send me my mission or whatever I am investigating. Much more fun then making one up myself.

[Dr.Epic]

P.S. DM
If I like you can send me my mission or whatever I am investigating. Much more fun then making one up myself.

Will send you a PM right now.

[Narmoth]

"I think I could be of much greater help if you explained more in detail the nature of the investigation, so I know what kind of information to look out for"

[Rannil]

Will send you a PM right now.
OOC: Cool thanks. ^^

"Rumors about monsters, I can't name names you know. But I have a location that might be "filled with monsters". I just don't trust the imperial guard here. Monsters appear, and they appear too..." Edwardine says, getting way to personal with her mission.

[Narmoth]

"I see.... Any particular kind of monsters?"

[Dr.Epic]

bumping, been awhile since anyone posted.

[Rannil]

"Not really, but I would bet the real monsters are the imperial." Edwardine rolls her eyes. "But we should at least try to get those other fighters, even if they nothing, I guess I need some help assaulting a monster lair." She looks around to see if she can recognize the other PC's.

Spot check: [roll0]

Edit: I tried?

[Dr.Epic]

"Not really, but I would bet the real monsters are the imperial." Edwardine rolls her eyes. "But we should at least try to get those other fighters, even if they nothing, I guess I need some help assaulting a monster lair." She looks around to see if she can recognize the other PC's.

Spot check: [roll0]

Edit: I tried?

The Empire gave you the mission. The Empire runs this nation and unlike Star Wars and most Sword and Sorcery tales, the Empire is not evil and corrupt. That colonel you just fought was, but the rulers aren't. As for the spot check, I'll say it's high enough just to get you guys to form a group and be off.

[Rannil]

OOC: Sorry, guess I automatically hate anything with imperial in the name.

For the sake of logic, let's change the mistrust to the corrupted officer and how strange that is. I'm to lazy to change my earlier posts to reflect that.

IC:

Edwardine waves to others. "Hello, you just were in that bar fight, or whatever is left of that bar. My name is Edwardine and I am sort of investigating stuff here, and was wondering, do you know anything about that attack on the bar? Or monsters?"

[Narmoth]

Lachtan just stands back, letting Edwardine talk as he scans the scene for anything of interest
spot [roll0]

[Dr.Epic]

Lachtan you don't seem to spot anything that interesting except a man with a pumpkin for a head having a conversation with a ostrich. Don't know how you guys missed that.
