Re: Council of spiders-Caverns of Thracia-Rappan Athuk IC
Rik opens his backpack and grabs Galdocio's satchel, and hands it to Polonia.
"We have retrieved it, me and Oren".
"Otherwise, it's pretty much what others said. Remilia backstabbed us. She wanted to perform a ritual in the forge. I don't know who she was working with. She said she had claimed the place in the name of Captain Gomyabber".Last edited by Ninja Dragon; 2020-12-07 at 03:27 PM.

Re: Council of spiders-Caverns of Thracia-Rappan Athuk IC
Well done with the satchel. For that I'll increase the price we give you for any loot you want to sell to it's full value when we'll sell it onwards. I'll earn nothing from it. I'd like to remind you also that whatever cash you take into Luracidon the port guards will tax you 10% of it. I'd suggest either using us as a bank or buying small items for bartering. You can give letters of payment regarding any money you save with us. Crew members even get 0.5% interest every month, rounded down of course.
Spoiler: OOCThe oil you brought is not normal oil. It's a suitable perfume ingredient. You gain 250 gp for the load you brought. The tax he mentions is real. Luracidon is, as previously mentioned, a place that hates merchants and those who wield money.
Polonia then sits down.
Captain Gomyabber isn't the most trustworthy sort, though there's uses for such as well. I suppose his crew wasn't any different. I don't know this Remilia. I'll make inquiries
She suddenly seems more eager.
And how about the ritual then? Clearly you killed her before she succeeded. Do you have the dragonsoul?Last edited by Smilex; 2020-12-07 at 04:44 PM.

Re: Council of spiders-Caverns of Thracia-Rappan Athuk IC
Oren
The rat fighter remains quiet, staring at his feet. He’s worried Polonia will demand him to surrender his new magic sword “Haven’t even used it once, yet.” He thinks to himself. He’d much rather prefer being surrounded by morlocks right now than having to endure Polonia’s interrogation. So he tries his best to remain unnoticed.
If pressed, he’ll avoid a direct answer at all cost “Hey, you’re asking the wrong rodent here. I know zit about the magic stuff, was too busy drowning in gnolls and morlocks.”

Re: Council of spiders-Caverns of Thracia-Rappan Athuk IC
This is quite aggravating. This is going to make things so much more difficult... Wait... You did mean to say that you didn't get the soul, right? ... I was just making sure. That you weren't being clever and putting down my expectations just to spring a surprise victory on me. ...
She pours some wine into cups for everyone. Oren notices that she picks a vintage that's about two stars out of five.
You've earned some rest and relaxation I think. I'm sure the others will want to hear more details but that's enough for me to start... plotting... heh.
The rest of the journey back goes without incident. Crewmembers actually give Rik and Oren congratulations and slaps on the back. And then you come back to Luracidon.
Spoiler: OOCPlease try to do your shopping at this point. The gateguards cast check your funds with help from divination spells and remove 10% of cash in hand. They don't touch jewelry or notes of credit from the corsair navy. Everybody also has time to train and relax. You're now level 2.
Immediately on your arrival you're met by a Longwands gang member who's Spinozo's superior. They call him Heir Ermans. Heir's an honorary title referring to gang members who are above the regulars, leadership though not quite a title on the level of mother/father.
Ermans is a warlock, a very introverted and cold one. He walks to Polari and Geronimo and says simply
Give me the book and the crystal.
On receiving them he simply continues
Follow me.
Polonia comes with you and you find yourselves in the very same meeting room where the journey started.
Professor Melange is also waiting there.
Sakuya, your circle needs you. They'd like to see you. Please go.
Sakuya's about to protest, but leaves.
Polonia says
Would you please tell us what's happened here. I know of course since you briefed me yesterday but it would be fair to have everyone be in on the story.
Heir Ermans corrects the position of a necklace on his neck and then starts
The diviners of Enyor 'Happypaws' found out quickly that your mission was a failure. They've been laughing it up on the streets. They used the opportunity to challenge to the Longwands. This would be a time to collect our troops but there's been a problem.
Professor Melange says
The Nip.
Wing-captain Polonia asks
Would you repeat that?
Professor Melange continues
The Nip, or the disciples of Danifae. A curious faction that believes that there could be a war large enough to solve every problem and result in peace. Academically speaking it's an interesting idea.
Ermans says
We've been losing members to them Some of the younger associates have actually changed sides. And now some of those members have captured sister Spinozo. She was recently under consideration for being made an heir. Now we're not so sure but we can't just let these disciples ofa Danifae kidnap our members.
Polonia adds
I suspect the traitor Remilia who robbed us of the dragonsoul was one of the Nip. Do you know where they are keeping Spinozo?
Ermans answers
They have her in a building in the territory of Affios 'Pinnails'.
Professor Melange says
So you're saying that you have absolute knowledge of the actions of the enemy?
Ermans fumes
I have intelligence!
Melange continues
In any case, moving against the disciples openly might incite a problem with the Plotting of Affios. We might incite war on the streets, and even worse war not on our terms. Rincip would not want that.
It seems notable that the professor admits to knowing the direct hopes and wishes of one of the main Plotters of the city.
Ermans continues and addresses Geronimo and Polari in particular
With your recent failure it falls to you to bring Spinozo back. She vouched for you. Without her you're done for.
Polonia adds
And to help our allies in their plight I'm sure Rik and Oren would like to join you in your assignment. Captain Abrocio is a staunch ally in our united dealings.
She shoots a glance at Melange
The professor clear his throat
Yes. I'll send someone with your men too Ermans.
Ermans continues addressing Geronimo and Polari
If you find other Longwands there, as captives or as members of the disciples, find out who they are and get them back here. Willingly or not.

Re: Council of spiders-Caverns of Thracia-Rappan Athuk IC
The additional briefing of Rik and Oren by captain Polonia.
Spoiler: Please read only if you're thereAfter the meeting Polonia drags Oren and Rik aside for a moment.
There's trouble forming.
Now that a Plotter like Affios appears to be involved, professor Melange is wavering. We're getting some second string help from him and that's no good in the long run. We need to see the affairs of Rincip and Affios darken a smidgen. I'd like you two to plant some items in the building where they're keeping Spinozo. They're academia badges of the Mentaujit. That'll increase the likelihood that Affios and Rincip won't make a side-deal to betray us. Of course we don't want the involvement of the navy be known.

Re: Council of spiders-Caverns of Thracia-Rappan Athuk IC
At the end of the meeting an underling of Melange comes to whisper something into his ear.
Melange straightens his sitting position.
Friends, I'd like to introduce a young talented academic from the Mentaujit. He's an expert in the arts of healing. I'm sure his presence would have helped Alissog tremendously. This is doctor Coccyx.
A tall, gangly mraow with black fur, green pants and a white jacket walks in. On his belt are several knives and he's got a crossbow on his back. It looks like he's got scalemail under his oversized jacket.
Coccyx's eyes are Madder red. He's got the large teeth, the oversized brow and the scarlike patterns on him that suggest a mraow-tiefling.
Coccyx says
And this is my bodyguard, Bellatrice
Behind him is another mraow. This one is a female with white stripes. She's got very little on and she's carrying a wicked-looking halberd. She seems to be very fit. There's a quality about her that makes her seem like she's not quite there mentally.Last edited by Smilex; 2020-12-08 at 04:51 PM.

Re: Council of spiders-Caverns of Thracia-Rappan Athuk
Bellatrice seems to ignore the conversation. She seems to have trouble with an eye twitch and just works her facial muscles while the others are talking.
Coccyx starts preaching
I'm a doctor. That means that I teach. I'm an academic, a mental specialist, a scientist. I'm one of the psionic specialists from who's abilities the Mentaujit gets it's name. I teach military history to generals and as a hobby I've developed my mental abilities to the effect of being able to heal people on the battlefield. Surely you've heard of my book 'Critical wounds and how they've changed battles - an essential history'.
Not waiting for an answer he continues
Professor Melange suggested that I engage in some field studies and why not? I'll also help the tactical team get to the target area.

Re: Council of spiders-Caverns of Thracia-Rappan Athuk IC
The band of six leaves the meeting hall and moves throught Web of streets. At times you meet patrols or posses of people crowding the streets. Where normally the corsairs would not like to go and the Longwands would choose side-streets Coccyx simply leads the group in, identifies himself as a lecturer in the Mentaujit and people make way to you.
It makes Luracidon seem like a much nicer city when one isn't questioned and challenged all the time. Even the roadblocks surrounding territories simply let you pass so make you good time in reaching the territory of Affios.
Spoiler: MAP :)Most areas are minor territories or gangland.
The territory of Affios is impressive. A lot of loot has come here. The buildings are patricularly tall and the upper levels have decorations that are visible to the street. You see more smiles here than in most places. People seem better fed. When there's a group in the street they're not marching or doing calisthenics. Rather you see people playing ball games. You also see less weaponry than what you're used to.
Eventually you come to a building that looks to be older and grungier than most in the territory. There's a front yard to the building's compound there's a wall around the yard. But the wall is broken and has several openings. The roof of the house is obviously broken and what used to be a majestic bridge connecting the second floor of the house to another building has collapsed.
This is where the Nip meets.
Says Coccyx.
You see black curtains covering most windows. You can see three entryways. Each of them has two people seemingly just hanging around the door. When they notice you they become a bit more tense and Rik notices they assume a guard stance of the long death monks.
Coccyx continues
Affios was not actually a brilliant student according to the Mentaujit's records. I suspect he concentrated on robbing our own colony of Pozernoa instead of defeating actual enemies. Nevertheless he came back with enormous amounts of loot.
You've seen how he spends his money. He's thought of as the greatest leader we've ever had by the people who live on his territory. This enormous popularity is his shield and this allows him to take chances like housing the Nip in his territory.
He still wants to have some deniability. See how they're making an effort to hide the nature of the building. You wouldn't suspect this to be a base of subversives groomed by the general for nefarious purposes.
Bellatrice holds her head and says
Ooh. Uh.
Coccyx glances in her direction for a moment and continues.
I have checked the original building plans for this house. We should choose the leftmost door if we want the most direct way to the cellars. I would expect that any prisoners would be held in the cellars.

What if we go into that other building over there and try to jump over? If you're bad at jumping, we can use ropes to help...”Last edited by Wooloo; 2020-12-09 at 06:53 PM.

Re: Council of spiders-Caverns of Thracia-Rappan Athuk IC
You move away slightly back and to the right to evaluate the bridge and the second building.
The building next door is no longer the same building that used to be connected with a bridge. The second building has been rebuilt and there's now a gap of 15 meters of open space between the two buildings. This doesn't look good. The dilapidated wall that leads to the bridge however doesn't look that difficult to climb. And if someone was to tie a rope to the bridge it would be even easier to climb after.
An assault from the side? Yes, like the way general Laufio took the ghoulish fort of Gubr Altair. This path will lead us to the very opposite part of the building from the cellar stairs. We will have to sneak a long way inside whilw trying to avoid alarming everyone. Furthermore if we do cause an alarm there is no way to extricate ourselves quickly once we're in the middle parts of the building. I've read about several techniques of camouflage that might help us. For example the same general Laufio once masked his auxiliaries as brushes on the side of the battlefield!

"I'll try to get the guards to go the other way and then we can sneak in the cellar entrance."
Once everyone is ready, he first casts minor illusion to make the sound of an approaching company of armored guards, complete with barking orders, rattling armor and weapons so it sounds like its coming from a direction the monks cannot see directly. As the noise gets louder, he casts create bonfire to make a fire erupt near the house but off to the opposite side, preferably on a few of the monks at the far end. He is hoping to distract the monks to look both directly away from us or up to a 45 degree angle from that. Once they appear to be distracted, we can start to enter the house.
Spoiler: OOCI hope I have all this right. If he needs to, he can cast sleep while maintaining the minor illusion and the bonfire. Everyone be ready to fight in case this doesn't work. It might not.

Re: Council of spiders-Caverns of Thracia-Rappan Athuk IC
The group forms a kind of huddle to block the guards' vision from the on-going spell-casting on the yard. The rumble of an approaching armed group creates interest but not much unease. The monks seem to be confident that any group of outsiders approaching would either not mean them harm or would be not much of a danger.
Then one of the guards finds themself standing in a bonfire. This creates a lot of yelling. The monk who was the victim of the event immediately opens the door that he was guarding and goes in. The other guards start approaching the other end except for one who approaches you.
Hey! You there. Did you see what happened there?

Re: Council of spiders-Caverns of Thracia-Rappan Athuk
Polari throws his hands up in panic. Geronimo acts scared as well. They look around like there might be more fires popping up any instant. Then they beg the guards for help.Polari

Re: Council of spiders-Caverns of Thracia-Rappan Athuk IC
The guard looks somewhat incredulous. Nevertheless he says
Come in.
and opens the door.
Meanwhile the four other guards are starting to huddle at the other end of the building and converse.

Re: Council of spiders-Caverns of Thracia-Rappan Athuk IC
Rik is not sure if they bought Polari's lie. Furthermore, he is not sure if they will be able to move in further once they enter the first room. They will need a new distraction.
As the group starts walking, he positions himself behind the last member of the party and the wall, so that no one can see him. Then moves back so he can disappear behind the building. Hopefully his low height makes it hard from the guards to see him behind the entire party.
Spoiler: OOCStealth: (1d20+5)[25]
Possible advantage: (1d20+5)[8]
As soon as he disappears, he grabs the potion of invisibility from his backpack and drinks it. He then quickly runs back to where the group is, staying close behind them as they enter the building.Last edited by Ninja Dragon; 2020-12-10 at 12:27 PM.

Polari keeps his concentration on the bonfire and keeps the minor illusion going as they enter the building.

As soon as he enters the building, Rik will look around at every wall or corner so he can see if there anything they can use to create another distraction.
