Re: Overpowered Rise of the Runelords
Quiet was not exactly sure what to make of all of this. But was glad that things seemed to be quieting down from the fuss of the goblin attack. They where more of less clean as well so no reason for the townsfolk to find them unseemly. They typed into the party chat 'It seems like we are spending a lot of time with these goblins. Shouldn't we go and deal with their den already?' though not wanting to be rude by being too forward.
They signed while speaking to those near them "I would very much not like to deal with this kind of thing again. That blood was very realistic and made me uncomfortable." meaning the blood from the women who was attacked.

Re: Overpowered Rise of the Runelords
With nobody stopping him, sheriff Belor Hemlock proceeds to systemically slice the throats of the captured goblins, their blood choking them to death and running out on the street, forming a puddle, which starts to dry in the evening air.
The family lets you leave without any hassle.
You hear a door on the other side of the cabinet open, your clothes pulled out, and close. If you wait long enough (about thirty minutes), you hear the door open and close again, although this time a soft rustling makes it clear the clothes are put back.Of course, by the time I finish this post, it will already be obsolete. C'est la vie.

Re: Overpowered Rise of the Runelords
Momonga watches the execution with a neutral expression on his face. "A strong sense of justice, admirable." He turns away from the messy sight and moves on, not particularly caring when there was a fair chance that someone else from the party would have stepped in to execute them anyway after the chat responses. If they couldn't get anything from goblins directly, they could probably still find the traces the goblins left behind. He begins to search the perimeter of the town for traces left by the goblins which might lead back to their dens.

Re: Overpowered Rise of the Runelords
When you're done with the bath, you find your clothes clean, folded, and dry; no trace of blood or grime on them.
You have no trouble finding their tracks. It seems they came from (and the handful of survivors went off in) five different directions. It looks like there were multiple tribes involved. It also appears that at least one group of goblins used the Sandpoint Glassworks as a staging area. Additionally, you find some goblin tracks leading in that are more recent than the ones leading out.Of course, by the time I finish this post, it will already be obsolete. C'est la vie.

Quiet would go looking for goblins themselves. They had decided they should probably do something rather than just stand around. They pull their rod of Abrupt Hexes from their glove of storing and see if they can find where any goblins might be hiding.

Re: Overpowered Rise of the Runelords
As you walk away, the innkeeper recovers, takes a closer look at the diamonds, and his brow crinkles a bit. He briefly opens his mouth and starts to raise his hand as though planning on hailing you to ask you something, but then changes his mind, and heads off away from the inn.
Spoiler: oocPerception can find tracks, but Survival is required to follow them.
You have no trouble finding their tracks. It seems they came from (and the handful of survivors went off in) five different directions. It looks like there were multiple tribes involved.

Additionally, you find some goblin tracks leading in that are more recent than the ones leading out.

Approaching the glassworks, you find it's strangely quiet, although the furnace still plumes with smoke. A quick investigation of the building perimeter reveals that curtains have been drawn over the windows and all the doors are locked.

Re: Overpowered Rise of the Runelords
Garridan Viskalai seems a bit hesitant, but your charming demeanor convinces him to continue; he seems confused, and pulls out a small eye loupe to continue examining them while speaking: "These two diamonds are the same. Exactly the same, as far as I can tell. There's a jeweler in town I plan to double-check with, but... they're the same. It's not just a similar color like you'd get from two gems from the same mine, it's the same color. It's not just a similar cut like you'd get from two gems from the same gemcutter, it's the same cut. The inclusions are likewise the same, and in the same spots. That just doesn't happen. Ever. Where did you get these?"

Re: Overpowered Rise of the Runelords
I smile again, “That is a really interesting observation, I legitimately do not know from whence they came. Does it diminish their worth, being the same as they are?” I pull out a few coins and examine them as well. Offering to let him have a look. Are they the same as well?

Re: Overpowered Rise of the Runelords
Momonga considers the situation then simply activates his at-will invisibility before reaching a hand out towards the wall of the building, touching it to test if his incorporeality is maintained while polymorphed or if he’ll need to return to his true form to pass through the wall.

Re: Overpowered Rise of the Runelords
Quiet will move toward the glassworks. Nodding to Momoga as they seem them. They will drop their assume greater appearance by activating their etherealness at-will ability and passes into the building.
Spoiler: EtherealnessActs as Ethereal Jaunt, turns the user ethereal
An ethereal creature is invisible, insubstantial, and capable of moving in any direction, even up or down, albeit at half normal speed. As an insubstantial creature, you can move through solid objects, including living creatures. An ethereal creature can see and hear on the Material Plane, but everything looks gray and ephemeral. Sight and hearing onto the Material Plane are limited to 60 feet.
Still carrying their rod of abrupt spells they will investigate inside to look for signs of goblin habitation.

Re: Overpowered Rise of the Runelords
You find that the coins are indeed identical - in fact, the different metals seem to have the exact same design, just scaled to match the weight of fifty to a pound. The game's logo is clearly stamped on both sides.
Garridan Viskalai takes them, and says "Doesn't affect their value, no. although I don't plan to spend them in the same place, so as to avoid awkward questions... like I might ask. Yes, these are both the same too, but that's only unusual with coins - those are generally made in presses or molds, and those naturally create at least some perfect repeats, so it's only a little unusual to see two that are exactly alike; happens a few times a month at the inn." He hands them back to you as he adds "Although I admit I've never seen that logo on a coin before. Never thought the Pathfinder society dared to have their own mint. Why would they bother, though? It makes no sense to me... unless... they didn't make a mint, and this is from elsewhere. Where did you call home, if you don't mind my asking?"
Your hand passes through the wall without issue.Spoiler: General OOCIn Pathfinder, polymorph effects basically never change types or subtypes - and incorporeal is a subtype, so you keep it, which has both advantages and disadvantages.

Re: Overpowered Rise of the Runelords
You find yourself in what looks like a wrecked dining room; tables and chairs sized for humans are upended, some smashed or pried apart. There's at least two decks of playing cards scattered about the place. You find lots of goblin-sized footprints around the place, most of which seem to ultimately lead through the door in the northwest (upper-right wall on the map, North is to the right, for some reason). You can hear what sounds like high pitched giggles, shrieks, and breaking glass coming from that same direction.
Taking a quick glance around, you notice that most folks are out of easy earshot, so a whisper probably wouldn't be heard, but you are standing basically at the door of a successful inn, which also serves as a pub for the locals.Last edited by Jack_Simth; 2022-04-14 at 06:55 AM.

Re: Overpowered Rise of the Runelords
Garridan Viskalai chuckles, and says "For you, I've got time. Turns out an inn has a lot of rooms, and folks like quiet for sleeping. Come..." if you follow, he leads you to a suite at the back of the inn, and despite the noise of the pub, it is a quiet room indeed. There's a small fireplace (loaded with wood, but not currently lit), two beds of the same size, one nightstand per bed, a clean brass chamberpot, a glass window with shutters and curtains (window closed and latched, shutters and curtains open), two wooden chairs with cushions, a small table between them, a sink with a mirror, and a stand for a bucket of water (currently empty). On arrival, the innkeeper adds "Luxury suite, well away from prying ears."

Once we get into the room and the door closes I will drop the alternate shape and revert to my full angel form. ”This is who I am here. But I hail from a different world entirely.

The inkeeper stops being coherent for a bit "So... you're an angel that's not an angel? Huh. Well, it's long been known that many outsiders seem to consider our world something of a game to play, so that one's not too strange. So why here? Why us?"
Spoiler: oocOut of town, in five different directions. Glassworks gobbo's are the only ones left in town.
A long furnace burns along the southeast wall of this equally long room. Marble tables sit throughout the chamber, used to work raw glass into usable shapes, with nearby wooden tables cluttered with various tools of the trade. The building’s furnace rumbles loudly. The main furnace burns at the northeast end, a large chamber that utilizes alchemically treated wood that burns with a hot blue light. The furnace’s stone pipes run to the
southwest, reaching smaller and progressively cooler furnaces, presumably used to keep glassworking projects at the proper temperature (glass shatters if it’s allowed to cool too quickly).
This room is a gruesome display of goblin boredom. The bodies of the eight murdered staffers lie in various stages of dismemberment; the goblins have been burning legs and arms in the furnace with glee, and pouring melted glass on the remains.Spoiler: General OOCHearing-based Perception checks here take a -4 penalty due to noise.Of course, by the time I finish this post, it will already be obsolete.

Re: Overpowered Rise of the Runelords
Quiet sees this and frowns unhappy with their displays of cruelty. Quiet will end their etherealness and use their 1/day spell-like to cast Reverse Gravity on the area of the goblins (with 10 ft cube per level its a total of 200 ft cubes of space so it should collect up all the goblins for 20 rounds.). With that all of the Goblins effects would be cast upward toward the ceiling along with anything else in those areas.
"How cruel" Quiet would say telepathically to the Goblins in their own tongue as they float in the area where they had come through the wall (they are in native Whisperer appearance now) "You must be punished for the lives you have taken. Who first?" their telepathic voice holding an echo quality as it rumbled in their minds.

Re: Overpowered Rise of the Runelords
Evras will send a quick message Based on the tracks I've found the only goblins still in town are in the glassworks, the rest split in 5 different directions, presumably back to wherever they live.
I realise this isn't the time, but I've just realised, none of us have tested to see if the arbitrary inventory limits still apply here, wonder if we could own a 1000th coin or 11th slotsless magic item now, thought I'd mention it before I forget.
He'll also inform any guards or other official seeming people he meets of this news "There's goblins in the glassworks, so steer clear, but that should be the last of them so the town at large is safe."
He'll also give the Ghaele 'orders' "Come with me to the glassworks, seems that's the last place to look, oh and stay invisible please."
He'll then make himself invisible, approach the front door in his Aeon form and open it, if it's locked then he'll use wood shape to simply split the lock off from the rest of the door and enter as quietly as he can
Spoiler: OOCProbably won't matter since I doubt there'll be any enemies alive to oppose it, but I'm going to roll stealth since Evras is invisible and his SLA would be silent. (1d20+48)[58] That does not include the +20 from invisibility because I forgot it.
Looking forward to when we all find out in character that Samael has spilled the beans, that'll definitely lead to some interesting conversations.Last edited by Thunder999; 2022-04-14 at 08:36 PM. Reason: Forgot how invisibility works
