DrK Slumbering Tsar IC

[(Un)Inspired]

Skynir surveilled his handiwork. Not bad for 6 seconds worth of work. watching his Templar companion draw a great deal of the remaining stone into place, he gives a nodding smile of approval to the dwarf. Top notch work, Hastur. A couple more spells and we should have something pretty damn livable. Once we get the shell set I can creat some hardwood floors and frames for the vents. A basement’s a great idea, Timoshko. Until we have proper flooring and thresholds, I think it’s just be a vermin paradise unfortunately. Let see what the gnomes’ hospitality looks like.

Arriving at the Bender Bros “accommodations” the half-elf decides that a neutral face is a fine comprise between positivity and his disappointment at the ramshackle nature of the building. There’s a wolf-monster going around smashing peoples’ dwellings. Can this thing stand up to a real battering? What about whatever undead is doing the rounds through camp?

Digging through his jacket’s inner pockets, Skynir produces iron for both the evening and the chow. Oh f***. What the hell does “real” meat imply? We better not being eating the remains of the last group of idiots who tried staying here. He eats the real meat stew after applying liberal applications of Purify Food and Water to every item the gnomes serve, with zero regard for offending the diminutive hosts.

When bed time rolls around, Skynir deeply inspects the room he’s shown to, once his host walks alway. He looks for weak points, cracks, or entry-points a monster could use to harass the team in the night. If the room proves less than secure he casts Wood Shape and seals and reinforces the sleeping quarters.

If the room isn’t architecturally sound he makes it so with a casting of Wood Shape.

[DrK]

Skynir’s suspicions are well founded, try as they might the gnome is clearly a bad one and harbouring I’ll intentions towards his would be guests. He scowls even more as the ranger purifies the food and drink in front of him (which can do nothing to make the taste any worse!). Roger and Timishko are even more abrupt and just drop their bags in the room to sleep

The sleeping quarters are simple rooms with a plain wooden floor and 4 cots to sleep in as the party are split between two rooms. Skynir spots a large crack in three planks that may allow someone to sneak in and quickly seals them with his wood shape. However as he does so he spots a worrying sight, stacked in neat piles underneath the dank boarding house he can see at least 15 pairs of varied boots and shoes of various sizes and styles, and nearer the shoes piles of bloodied clothes and a decaying trio of legs… something is definitely amiss with the way these two gnomes treat guests!

Who ate the food? And how do you split yourself between the two rooms?

[u-b]

"So much for a peaceful sleep..." states Roder observing Skynir's finds "I will keep watch all the night. Would not be problematic with the magic I know. Can make any or all of you do the same. At least someone in the other room, I guess. Opinions?"

While people think what to do for the night, Roger sniffs and looks around in both of the rooms, trying to find more secret passages, hidden body parts and what not...

[Farmerbink]

Timoshko makes no effort to impress his hosts, positively or otherwise. He grimly sits beside Skynir, considering the Half-Elf one of his most competent companions, at minimum. He smirks at the man's obvious distrust of their hosts, making no other comment.

When they retire, Timoshko watches silently as Skynir investigates their room. He frowns deeply at the Half-Elf's discovery, before voicing his concerns. "You should inspect the other room as well," he murmurs. "I will volunteer to rest in the less-secured room, and we should make sure whoever is on watches can communicate with each other. I know there is simple magic for this purpose, but my abilities lie in other areas."

He raises his lips in an animalistic snarl. "These Gnomes will not find us easy prey. If they make an attempt, I intend to make sure it's their last."

Spoiler: OOC

Whoever is on watch at any given time should be connected to the other with a message spell, if we can arrange it. We might be able to get away with one person on watch at a time, between both rooms, but it would be ambitious.

[SanguinePenguin]

When Skynir points out his various horrific finds, Hastur grimaces. He speaks softly back, “I sure didn’t trust these gnomes… but this is far worse than I could have imagined. If they are planning to try to kill us in our sleep, we need to preempt this, not just implement protections and hope for the best. We either flee back to our domicile or confront them - likely lethally.”

Spoiler

Show

Hastur didn’t eat the soup. Though he could have gone the purify route, he doesn’t think eating purified foulness is better than rations.

[u-b]

Roger is not quite enthusiastic about Hastur's proposal. "I'd rather not be hanged for murder and not go outside in the dark. I mean, they clearly seem not to have been dealt with by the local moneylender and, if confronted, will probably claim not to know and thank you for finding our missing guests sort of thing, and it will look bad both if we just leave at that point or go ahead and kill them. I'd rather set up an ambush here in the rooms and wait for what's incoming."

[DrK]

Roger hunting around finds another secret passage in the ceiling of the other room. As he peeks above into it he can see a ting crawlspace that would allow something the size of a gnome to sneak between the rafters but is able to drop back down onto the simple bed and then block the roof. Its clear to Roger from the other subtle signs (bloodstains on the bed frame, a knife scratch on a headboard etc..) that these gnomes routinely seem to be murdering visitors. A lucrative trade for them and safe in such a place where no-one seems liklely to asks questions

---

Later that evening as Skynir is on watch, he waist, highly alert and listening at the door and linked by a magical communication to all the others. Bo the the likes of Timishko and Roger in his room and Hastur, Azvigo and Izzy in the other. Everyone sleeping in some form of armour and with weapons close, its not a relaxing sleep! In the depths of the night Skynir can hear a faint scratch from the corridor outside and can hear the faintest of metallic clinks as what sounds like a key or lockpicks are slid into the lock....

If you think the people in the rooms are wrong that is fine

[SanguinePenguin]

Hearing the encroaching sounds, Hastur grasped the hilt of his flail. “Strym, shield my body,” he whispered to his god in the dwarven tongue as he awaited the appearance of the gnomes.

Since everyone in the room is already awake one way or another, Roger just points at the door to make sure they are aware as well, then takes the bow and steps away from the door to have some range against whatever comes.

[RCgothic]

Disgusted by the murderous quality of the hospitality in the inn, Izzy quickly agrees to turning the tables on the Gnomes, waiting in the dark with her spear close to hand. When she gets the signal she uses an alchemical allocation to infuse the qualities of a potion of darkvision without consuming it. She'll wait until the gnomes are properly inside the rooms or battle is joined before striking.

[Farmerbink]

Timoshko grabs his scythe and grins wickedly in the dark. His breathing (perhaps surprisingly) remains calm as the faint sound of metal continues from the lock.

Timoshko will attack hard when he gets the chance. None of this "what are they actually up to" stuff. If they try to surrender quickly, he may give them a chance.

[DrK]

There is a faint click from the door and it swings open on smoothly oiled hinges revealing not one but two! identical brothers crouched in the hallway with a pair of long daggers out each and a savage look of evil glee on their little bearded faces. As they spy the various members of the party upright, alert and armed there is a moments pause before the lead one snarls a "Just checking you were comfrotable...", the lie obvious to everyone as they stand there with weapons pitted with a dark liquid and clearly meaning to harm you!

"Like hell you are!" Timoshko barks, dashing into the hallway. "We are no easy prey for your puny blades!" His scythe arcs, glinting in the light of flickering candles (for the non-dark-vision-y folks) as he brings the fight to the lead Gnome without hesitation.

There is a pair of twangs as a pair of arrows thud into the gnome but then he tumbling back spinning and dodging. Just in time as the massive scythe of Timoshko lashes out chipping the wooden door fram twice as he narrowly misses whilst Izzy stumbles forward, her spear jamming in the wall beyond the gnomes. The lead gnome (Jebli) looks at Timoshko and pflicks his weapon trying to distract the bloodrager and drive the dagger into Timishko's side before he 5ft steps away to the left of the door. His little brother (Jashanah) darts to the right of the door out of sight.

The surprise happens when the trapsdoor on the flor rattles, and there is a gnomish curse involving a mole, a goat and a badger as the warped door refuses to budge. A faint "pop" of displaced air then suggests something has "changed" and the trapoddor stops moving.

Skynir watches as his front line quite literally smashes into the gnomes and listen to the rattling beneath the floorboards as another intruder attempts to join the fray. He tries to keep his cool and his head on a swivel. First these two little a**holes, then we find out where their magician went.

He nods to himself to steel his resolve, then leans far enough out the door frame to see the gnome Timoshko’s attempting to bifurcate. He concentrates on it for a second, attempting to shut down its nervous system long enough for it to drop unconscious, then steps back behind the doorframe out of the danger zone (while keeping his eyes and ears pealed for signs of the third murderer).

Chaos breaks out in the tiny bunkhouse. The gnomes jump out of sight as Timishko follows, his cry of rage echoing in the small thin walled flop house. The scythe lashes out, first blow missing but the second lands a clean hut as the gnome screams in pain, a scream that is cut short as he drops to the floor asleep from Skynir’s slumbering curse. Beside Skynir Hastur gestures and a thick bark coat covers his body in heavy wooden plating

Behind Timishko the other gnome readies to stab him in the back before with a great crash of splintering wood a massive section of the wall collapses on the gnome smashing him to the ground and Izzy, despite her small stature, crashes through the entire wall trampling the gnome prone under the wooden planks!

There is a curse from a veil of shadows further up the corridor from Timishko as the moving shadows reveal a tall dark skinned elf wth white hair, violet eyes and flowing purple robes. The dark elf mutters a curse under her breath (curiously to Skynir in gnomish) before leaping forward and touching the sleeping gnome and with a ripple in the air both vanish with a “pop” of displaced air

The one under Izzy crawls out of the wreckage and flips to its feet before running 20ft down the corridor to the door to the reception


Timishko hits the right hand gnome
It’s then put to sleep but the drow runs forward and dimension doors

Ahh f*** the mage is a drow, and whatever she said in gnomish didn’t exactly sound like a compliment. Feels like a great time for a bargaining chip…

With these thoughts in his head, Skynir concentrates on the last gnome fleeing the “hotel” and attempts to drop him.

As the other two gnomes flee magically Izzy sweeps the legs from the fleeing one she crushed with her spear knocking him to the ground. There he screams as a pair of arrows thud into him, the pain sharpening his mind to resist the slumber

But they don’t help him avoid the pike and scythe of Hastur and Timoshko. Bleeding heavily the gnome looks worried before flipping to his feet (using the stand up truck I had missed last round), he then squints at Timishko, back against the door and little face snarling twirls the dagger to distract the barbarian and stabs at him, seeking to use Timishko’s bulk against Hastur and Izzy with their longer reach weapons


Free: stand up truck, no AoO
Move: feint Timoshko (DC18) (1d20+17)[24]
Std: stab Timoshko (1d20+13)[33] dam (1d4+6)[7] + (5d6)[16] sneak and -2 to his attacks for 1 round

[(Un)Inspired]

Look, man, Skynir calls out to the remaining Bender Brother, you’re extremely outnumbered, and we’ve got no interest in your brother and your drow trying to revenge kill us for turning you into a red smear.

Surrender, and there’s a good chance we’ll trade you alive to your crew, keep fighting and you’re 100% gonna end up as cube steak. And, honestly? If you make us kill you I’ll probably use my magic to raise your corpse as a zombie and make it lick the streets of camp clean to teach you a lesson for being such a pain in the ass.

The half-elf magician raises his hands wide and tilts his head imploringly as if to say make the obviously right choice here.
