Adventure 10.2 - A Short Interlude

[Dracos]

[10:29] <Sailor_Pluto> A sunny afternoon of training, work and sweat. Sir Siegmund has interrupted training this morning for something different. Gavin is called to his small office, a room of papers, books and endless study. "Sit, sit Gavin," Siegmund gestures loosely at a hard wood bench that serves for sitting in here.
[10:32] * SirGavin sits down calmly. "Certainly, Sir Siegmund."
[10:36] * Usagi (WinNT@user-1731.lns3-c11.dsl.pol.co.uk) has joined #dunes
[10:36] * ChanServ sets mode: +ao Usagi Usagi
[10:36] <Sailor_Pluto> "Good. Let's get on with this." Quickly putting down some papers and focusing on Gavin exclusively, "I've heard of your adventure recently intown. I must admit I was hesitant to believe such an outlandish tale, but Lord Demetrius personally spoke on your behalf."
[10:38] * SirGavin blinks at the slight insinuation, but attributes it to shock at a zamzar appearing at all. "He was the one who informed me that one of them was planning to enter the city."
[10:43] <Sailor_Pluto> "I suppose so - Lord Demetrius stands by his words. This has netted you the notice of others - in good ways and in ways of duty. The last is why I have called you here today, Gavin. You have a task of you."
[10:44] <SirGavin> "Yes sir, what may I do?" He said a touch proudly.
[10:49] <Sailor_Pluto> "In Giant's Underfoot there is a rouge mage that has attracted the ire of the High Clerist. A close friend of his was waylaid and wounded by this man's petty robberies. You are spoken well for, Gavin, and you have been to that section of town. This puts you in a uniquely suited position to deal with such a problem effectively."
[10:54] <SirGavin> "Understood.  What can you tell me about the man?  And I presume he is to be brought in for trial if at all possible?"
[11:06] <Sailor_Pluto> "Yes, that is correct. Unless your own life is in peril, you are to bring him in alive. His name is Silas Delraven, a petty wizard turned to a life of crime. He used to be a small underboss loosely connected to Jeras' thieves guild, but now he's striking out for himself."
[11:06] <SirGavin> "Ah, unfortunate we didn't catch all the spinoffs.  Any information about his location in Giant's Underfoot?"
[11:10] <Sailor_Pluto> "We know he lingers about with a few bodyguards - he is a slippery one adn is not a fool in the least. Approriate measures will be needed to capture him."
[11:12] * SirGavin nods. "I shall be off forthright then. With your leave, sir."
[11:15] * Carthrat is now known as Carthrat-Sleep
[11:16] <Sailor_Pluto> "Do so - but be careful, Gavin. A knight in full regalia may be a very easy mark." So eyeing Gavin over carefully, "Good luck."
[11:19] <SirGavin> "Thank you, sir." Gavin rose, heading out and preparing before heading to check with the patrols around Giant's underfoot.
[11:22] <Sailor_Pluto> There aren't many patrols in the area. Only a few token ones - they note the normal spillover of minor offenses, like pickpocketry and the like. OOC - Any specific questsions?
[11:23] <SirGavin> OOC: basically just any rumors of him, areas he was/is known to traffic specifically
[11:24] <Sailor_Pluto> roll 1d20
[11:24] * Sailor_Pluto sets mode: +v Hatbot
[11:24] <Sailor_Pluto> roll 1d20
[11:24] * Hatbot --> "Sailor_Pluto rolls 1d20 and gets 1."12 [1d20=1]
[11:28] <Sailor_Pluto> No real luck. Fortune is not favoring Gavin, they don't know anything useful at all.
[11:31] * SirGavin checks the local jails to see if he can turn up anything there about him, any spurned accomplishes, thieves, or whatnot.
[11:32] <Sailor_Pluto> roll 1d20
[11:32] * Hatbot --> "Sailor_Pluto rolls 1d20 and gets 16."12 [1d20=16]
[11:34] <Sailor_Pluto> This nets a little more luck. A shifty looking man with a scar over his left eye and greasy blonde hair perks up, as he paces his cage. "Yeah, maybe I do, knight boy." he gestures at you obscenely. "What's it worth to ya?"
[11:35] <SirGavin> "Possibly a little gold.  Possibly a little less time for you in the cages.  Depends on what you got."
[11:38] <Sailor_Pluto> "I want outta here now," he growls, "I'll tell ya where he is if you do."
[11:39] <SirGavin> "what are you in here for?"
[11:40] <Sailor_Pluto> "Disagreement with a fuckin' cheatin' gamer." A growl now, deeper, "Fixed dice. So I fixed his head."
[11:41] <SirGavin> "Mmm...murder is hard, but I'll see what I can do.  You'll have my word on that if you deal fairly in turn with information."
[11:42] <Sailor_Pluto> "Murder? Hah. Fixed his head but the fucker's breakin'." Sneering nastily, "He's alive, just got caught at the wrong time by some prissy guards."
[11:43] <SirGavin> "Ah...  I should be able to get you out.  You first though."
[11:44] <Sailor_Pluto> "...fine. Old shack down three buildings from the Grinning Devil's 'General Store'." The last is said oddly, darkly. "Holes up in there with his woman."
[11:46] * SirGavin nods and goes to talk with the magistrate overseeing the man to see about a probationary release for good behavior.
[11:47] <Sailor_Pluto> This can be done if Gavin wishes.
[11:50] <SirGavin> He does as he's given such a word, then heads out to the old shack, hoping to catch him off-guard.
[11:53] <Sailor_Pluto> OOC - Wearing full plate armor and all the fixins?
[11:54] <SirGavin> OOC: Yup.  I know, won't work, but Gavin's a creature of habit.  Or at least  of not having purchased spare, more subterferous suits of armor.
[11:57] <Sailor_Pluto> OOC- Heh, heh. Okay, can we take our lunch break now since we're doing something for lunch and I come back in 15 or so?
[11:57] <Sailor_Pluto> OOC - Before we get into this brouhahah.
[11:59] <SirGavin> OOC:  Sure I suppose.
[12:16] <Sailor_Pluto> So Gavin stalks on down! The decay of Giant's Underfoot is unpleasant - this part of it is almost ruin. One large warehouse building remains, a crudely drawn grinning demon on it's front doors. Past that are shacks, dirty and nasty men giving Gavin plenty of looks. Most of the streets melt away as he comes, fleeing into Gods forsaken allies.
[12:17] * SirGavin heads to his hideout!
[12:17] <Sailor_Pluto> roll 1d20
[12:17] * Hatbot --> "Sailor_Pluto rolls 1d20 and gets 20."12 [1d20=20]
[12:18] <Sailor_Pluto> OOC - Oh my.
[12:18] <Sailor_Pluto> roll 1d20
[12:18] * Hatbot --> "Sailor_Pluto rolls 1d20 and gets 14."12 [1d20=14]
[12:18] <Sailor_Pluto> roll 1d5
[12:18] * Hatbot --> "Sailor_Pluto rolls 1d5 and gets 2."12 [1d5=2]
[12:18] <Sailor_Pluto> OOC - Typo; strike.
[12:18] <Sailor_Pluto> roll 1d4
[12:18] * Hatbot --> "Sailor_Pluto rolls 1d4 and gets 1."12 [1d4=1]
[12:19] <Sailor_Pluto> as Gavin heads there? CLUNK! A nasty stone bounces off his armor, leaving a faint bruise! (1 damage) It comes from an alley, several deviants leering back from the shadows. A nasty rock, smelly and foul water dripping down Gavin's magnificent armor.
[12:20] * SirGavin winces slightly, but moves on, going after his target and not even giving them notice.
[12:21] <Sailor_Pluto> roll 1d20
[12:21] * Hatbot --> "Sailor_Pluto rolls 1d20 and gets 6."12 [1d20=6]
[12:22] <Sailor_Pluto> As Gavin goes another is thrown from the otherside, a jagged chunk of broken metal missing him! "Hey, tinhead! Go back to poochin' stuffy nobles and get your rose smelling ass outta here!" A woman calls from an alley, brave and scornful. But as you go, you get closer to the hut indicated - an old shack, not large and all, and with a working wood door.
[12:23] * Retrieving #dunes modes...
[12:23] * SirGavin opens the door.
[12:25] <Sailor_Pluto> roll 1d20
[12:25] * Hatbot --> "Sailor_Pluto rolls 1d20 and gets 19."12 [1d20=19]
[12:27] <Sailor_Pluto> As Gavin does another rock clatters off his arm, but it does no damage! "Hey you!" one calls as Gavin works the door, "Yaeh, I'm talkin' to you! Fuckin' murdererers! Killed my son just for takin' a purse!" It's an older woman's voice behind you, loud and belligerant, as you open up!  Inside is a crude sleeping and eating area, scraps of food and bedding about. However, it's empty at the moment.
[12:28] * SirGavin looks around for any signs on where he might be, or how long he's gone, ignoring the woman.
[12:41] <Sailor_Pluto> There is still some fresh food and the foul scent of body odor. It can't have been that long - no more than ad ay, Gavin would reckon.
[12:54] * SirGavin checks the back door.
[12:56] <Sailor_Pluto> As you get closer, you can see it's a flimsy looking wood door. The dirt on it obscures the original red paint...you think. It is awfully dirty so it's hard to be sure.
[12:59] * SirGavin opens it.
[13:00] <Sailor_Pluto> OOC - Saving throw vs spell. -4 penalty sicne it's electric and you're wearing a giant metallic bodysuit.
[13:00] <SirGavin> OOC: Joy =D
[13:00] <SirGavin> OOC: Not evil magic I presume?
[13:00] <SirGavin> roll 1d20-4 to fail
[13:00] <Sailor_Pluto> OOC - Nope! Just shockey!
[13:00] * Hatbot --> "SirGavin rolls 1d20-4 to fail and gets 4."12 [1d20=8]
[13:00] <SirGavin> OOC: Faiil
[13:01] <SirGavin> OOC: SHOCKING GRASP
[13:01] * SirAlex is now known as SirAlex-sleep
[13:02] <Sailor_Pluto> The door will not open! Despite it's thin frame, it holds as if possessed by...ack! Lighting and sparks crack from the door, shocking Gavin and knocking him back! As this happens the red markings on the door glow, a pattern shining through the dirt - a twelve sided star, dotted with lesser symbols.
[13:02] <Sailor_Pluto> roll 1d8+4
[13:02] * Hatbot --> "Sailor_Pluto rolls 1d8+4 and gets 8."12 [1d8=4]
[13:02] <Sailor_Pluto> OOC - 8 damage. Meanbot
[13:02] <SirGavin> OOC: 51/60
[13:03] <SirGavin> "A sealed escape?" Gavin frowned, closing the door in front to push out the angry woman and looking for things in there that may get thrown at the symbol.
[13:03] <Sailor_Pluto> OOC - Cool.
[13:10] <Sailor_Pluto> There are some old clothes, a bit of food, and a spare hunk of bread. Those could work.
[13:10] * SirGavin tries tossing the hunk of bread at it.
[13:12] <Sailor_Pluto> It hits the door squarely. As it falls a few sparks burst around it, teh smell of burnt bread filling the room. Really, it's an improvement over the others mells here.
[13:21] * SirGavin frowns and waits a while, considering.
[13:21] <Sailor_Pluto> roll 1d100
[13:21] * Hatbot --> "Sailor_Pluto rolls 1d100 and gets 37."12 [1d100=37]
[13:21] <Sailor_Pluto> roll 1d100
[13:21] * Hatbot --> "Sailor_Pluto rolls 1d100 and gets 41."12 [1d100=41]
[13:21] <Sailor_Pluto> roll 1d100
[13:21] * Hatbot --> "Sailor_Pluto rolls 1d100 and gets 60."12 [1d100=60]
[13:27] <Sailor_Pluto> A half hour passes. You see rodents and roaches pass by, but none near the door leading out. No sign of your targetyet.
[13:27] * SirGavin tries taking an arrow and disrupting the symbol with a shot at it.
[13:28] <Sailor_Pluto> OOC - Any part of it in particular do you want to aim at or just a general shot.
[13:32] <SirGavin> OOC: Anything that looks particularly disruptable or on frail wood.
[13:34] <Sailor_Pluto> OOC - Okay. Hm. Go ahead and check for a crit and roll damage. No hit roll, you're not going to miss a freaking door.
[13:35] <SirGavin> roll 1d20 crit check
[13:35] <SirGavin> OOC: uh what's the check against?
[13:35] <SirGavin> OOC: Why's the dicebot not rolling
[13:35] <SirGavin> roll 1d20
[13:36] <Sailor_Pluto> OOC - I dunno. Might be peering.
[13:36] * Sailor_Pluto sets mode: -v Hatbot
[13:36] * Sailor_Pluto sets mode: +v Serith
[13:36] <Sailor_Pluto> roll 1d4 test
[13:36] * Serith bats the dice around, getting a roll for Sailor_Pluto : [ 1d4=2 ]{2}
[13:37] <Sailor_Pluto> OOC - I think they're both peering or we're about to netsplit.
[13:37] <SirGavin> OOC: Heh
[13:38] <SirGavin> roll 1d20 crit check
[13:38] <SirGavin> OOC: What's it against?

[13:45] <Rei-chan> 12,0SirGavin rolled :12,0 2d4 12,0damage --> 12,0 2
[13:45] <SirGavin> OOC: Wow, min roll!
[13:46] <Sailor_Pluto> Clunk! The arrow embeds ni the lower left side, splintering the wood slightly and starting to crackle with lighting! It  glows blue for several seconds before it stops being an electric current, jutting into the door.
[13:46] * SirGavin tosses the bread again!
[13:48] <Sailor_Pluto> The bread sparks when it hits the wall - a little less this time, perhaps, the door shocking and reducing it to ash this time. SMells nasty.
[13:49] * SirGavin shoots the symbol again, someewhere else.
[13:49] <Sailor_Pluto> OOC - Goa head and just check for a crit again.
[13:50] <SirGavin> roll 1d20
[13:50] <Rei-chan> 12,0SirGavin rolled :12,0 1d20 --> 12,0 10
[13:50] <SirGavin> OOC: What am I checking against?  oh just for a 20?
[13:50] <SirGavin> roll 2d4
[13:50] <Rei-chan> 12,0SirGavin rolled :12,0 2d4 --> 12,0 4
[13:50] <Sailor_Pluto> OOC - Yeah, basically. Seeing if you get a lucky crit.
[13:50] <Sailor_Pluto> Another arrow! It again pulses with lighting, the wooden shaft burnt badly by the time it ends. Another notch in the door, this one just above the center.
[13:51] * SirGavin does another, continuing to break the symbol up.
[13:52] <Sailor_Pluto> OOC - Same check as before.
[13:52] <SirGavin> roll 1d20
[13:52] <Rei-chan> 12,0SirGavin rolled :12,0 1d20 --> 12,0 15
[13:52] <SirGavin> roll 2d4
[13:52] <Rei-chan> 12,0SirGavin rolled :12,0 2d4 --> 12,0 7
[13:54] <Sailor_Pluto> Clunk!The door is hit again - this time the sparks are far less! Only a light kiss of lighting, the door buckling under a third crossbow bolt!
[13:55] * SirGavin fires a fourth.
[13:55] <SirGavin> roll 1d20
[13:55] <Rei-chan> 12,0SirGavin rolled :12,0 1d20 --> 12,0 18
[13:55] <SirGavin> roll 2d4
[13:55] <Rei-chan> 12,0SirGavin rolled :12,0 2d4 --> 12,0 7
[13:57] <Sailor_Pluto> As this happens Gavin feels a breeze behind him. The fourth crossbow bolt clacks in, no lighting coming from it this time!
[13:57] * SirGavin turns checking the door.
[13:58] <Sailor_Pluto> The door is open, but you don't see anyone there. No one's immediately outside, either.
[14:01] * SirGavin glances out cautiously, prepared for an ambush.
[14:02] <Sailor_Pluto> roll 1d20
[14:02] <Rei-chan> 12,0Sailor_Pluto rolled :12,0 1d20 --> 12,0 3
[14:02] <Sailor_Pluto> No one is there, however. How strange.
[14:03] * SirGavin shuts it, and moves his hilt in a spinning motion around the shack in case of an invisible assassin.
[14:04] <Sailor_Pluto> OOC - Roll a 1d20, Gavin.
[14:05] <Sailor_Pluto> OOC - THACO - 4.
[14:05] <SirGavin> roll 1d20 for hitting invisible foes that aren't there!
[14:05] <Rei-chan> 12,0SirGavin rolled :12,0 1d20 12,0for hitting invisible foes that aren't there! --> 12,0 19
[14:06] <Sailor_Pluto> OOC - AC hit with the -4 in play?
[14:08] <SirGavin> OOC: -3 I think?  Thac0 12, so hits ac -7 without.
[14:08] <SirGavin> OOC: -4 or plus 4?  if -4 then it's ac -11.
[14:08] <Sailor_Pluto> OOC - Roll damage. -2 penalty since you're pretty much swinging blinde.
[14:09] <SirGavin> roll 2d4+4
[14:09] <Rei-chan> 12,0SirGavin rolled :12,0 2d4+4 --> 12,0 8
[14:09] <SirGavin> OOC: 6.
[14:12] <Sailor_Pluto> WHAM! Your sword stops ni the backswing - you fee it hit something, a cry to your behind/left side, the sound of something heavy hitting the floor!
[14:12] * SirGavin slams down with a foot near where the sound hit swinging with his hilt back at exactly where he just hit.
[14:13] <Sailor_Pluto> OOC - Since you are working blind, I'm going to require you to THACO again to see if you outright miss.
[14:14] <SirGavin> roll 1d20
[14:14] <Rei-chan> 12,0SirGavin rolled :12,0 1d20 --> 12,0 4
[14:16] <Sailor_Pluto> OOC - AC hit, Sir GavinicuS?

[14:35] <Kotono> OOC - Whiff.
[14:36] <Kotono> Gavin slams ont floor! Just besides him he hears something moving - something unseen! Amid curses and droplets of blood starting to land near Gavin, words are chanted! OOC - I'm going to declare initiative here.
[14:39] <SirGavin> roll 1d10 tackle in the direction of the of the chanting.  Focus on just knocking him down and entirely disrupting the spell rather than damage.
[14:39] <Rei-chan> 12,0SirGavin rolled :12,0 1d10 12,0tackle in the direction of the of the chanting. Focus on just knocking him down and entirely disrupting the spell rather than damage. --> 12,0 6

[14:39] <SirGavin> OOC: don't know any init penalty for a tackle.  Would be 4 otherwise.
[14:40] <Kotono> OOC - I'll call it a natural weapon, +3.
[14:40] <Kotono> OOC - So you go the split second after he finishes the spell he's chanting.
[14:40] <SirGavin> OOC: So 7.  darn. @_@  Fast spellcast. =)
[14:40] <Kotono> OOC - Low level mage advantage.
[14:42] <SirGavin> OOC: Heh.
[14:43] <Kotono> You hear foreign words come, the invisiblity shattering! A middle aged man in dirty black robes and a tight vest, chating away! "Be weakened, foul one! Bow to me!" As Gavin lunges to tackle, a watery red beam comes from his fingers! His chest is torn open, blood flowing out! OOC - Save vs spell.
[14:44] <SirGavin> roll 1d20 save
[14:44] <Rei-chan> 12,0SirGavin rolled :12,0 1d20 12,0save --> 12,0 20
[14:44] <SirGavin> OOC: o_o Pass.
[14:44] <Kotono> OOC O_O
[14:45] <Kotono> Gavin isn't even effected! The beam fades away from his manly knightish body, sputtering into nothingness as Gavin tackles! OOC - THACO.
[14:46] <SirGavin> roll 1d20 Wall of steel coming at you
[14:46] <Rei-chan> 12,0SirGavin rolled :12,0 1d20 12,0Wall of steel coming at you --> 12,0 17

[14:47] <Rei-chan> 12,0SirGavin rolled :12,0 1d4+1+1 12,0SQUISH --> 12,0 5
[14:48] * SirGavin moves right into knocking the man unconscious as soon as he carries him to the floor, his gauntleted fists aiming for his head, careful to be knocking him out without splattering his brains.
[14:49] <Kotono> OOC - Initiative, yeah.
[14:49] <Kotono> The mage is knocked heavily down, moving faintly but moving! He triest o lift his arms up to smack Gavin off!
[14:49] <Kotono> roll 1d10+3
[14:49] <Rei-chan> 12,0Kotono rolled :12,0 1d10+3 --> 12,0 6

[14:50] <SirGavin> OOC:  7, I think I only get one attack per round with fists?
[14:51] <Kotono> OOC - Yes.
[14:51] <Kotono> OOC = The mage outsped you. Fear.
[14:51] <Kotono> Strugging, the wounded mage attempts to batter and get Gavin off! OOC - THACO. He'll need luck!
[14:51] <Kotono> roll 1d20
[14:51] <Rei-chan> 12,0Kotono rolled :12,0 1d20 --> 12,0 12

[15:06] <SirGavin> OOC: HATE
[15:06] <Kotono> OOC - Oh Rei-chan.
[15:08] <Kotono> By a fluke Gavin misses entirely, his hand slamming into the ground again! As this happens...OOC - What's your AC without a shield and dex, Gavin?

[15:10] <Rei-chan> 12,0Kotono rolled :12,0 1d6*3 --> 12,0 12
[15:11] <Kotono> AAAH! A blade passes into Gavin's back, a gash in his well made armor! A piercing blood, blood dripping down his back! "GET THE HELL OFF OF HIM, MONSTER!" a woman's voice says, hysterical and enraged!
[15:12] * SirGavin reacts quickly, rolling off and lashing out with a foot, even as he draws his blade, swiftly moving to readiness to face the two foes.
[15:12] <SirGavin> roll 1d10+1 ?
[15:12] <Rei-chan> 12,0SirGavin rolled :12,0 1d10+1 12,0? --> 12,0 11
[15:12] <SirGavin> OOC: Or not so swiftly.

[15:13] <Kotono> OOC - Jeez. Rei-chan hate syou.
[15:13] <Kotono> roll 1d10 mage

[15:13] <Rei-chan> 12,0Kotono rolled :12,0 1d10 12,0not mage --> 12,0 1
[15:14] <Kotono> A dirty woman with a short sword spun around is behind Gavin! As he regains his footing and gets his weapon and shield ready, she takes a hack at him!
[15:14] <Kotono> roll 1d20
[15:14] <Rei-chan> 12,0Kotono rolled :12,0 1d20 --> 12,0 12
[15:14] <Kotono> But it clangs uselessly off his shield at the last moment!
[15:15] <Kotono> mage is dazed, barely managing to stand up and not mounting an attack this round! He looks shaken1
[15:15] * Rei-chan is now known as DK_Rei
[15:16] <SirGavin> roll 1d20 for the kick

[15:17] <Kotono> OOC - It is.
[15:18] <Kotono> The woman is hit firmly, staggering back under Gavin's cold, hard kick! Her stomach is dented but she growls out! A blonde haired half elf that would be cute if she'd bathed in the last month, face enraged!

[15:23] <DK_Rei> 12,0Kotono rolled :12,0 1d20 --> 12,0 4
[15:24] <Kotono> But she misses completely! That was rather pathetic, not even touching the well protected knight!
[15:24] <Kotono> Meanwhile a splut or alien words come from the mage, a light washing over Gavin! "Shrink! Shrink into nothingness," the mage snarls, voice slurred as magic washes over Gavin1 OOC - Save vs spell. +1 bonus since you messed his mouth up ab it.
[15:25] <SirGavin> roll 1d20+1 @_@

[15:25] <SirGavin> OOC: Failage
[15:26] <Kotono> OOC - What's your height, Gavin?
[15:26] <SirGavin> OOC; 6'6''
[15:30] <Kotono> Gavin's body and perception change! Is the world getting bigger...or is he getting smaller?! Gavin isn't sure ni the least, but his body has lost a few feet, as has his equipment! OOC - I'm ruling your sword functions as a short sword for damage now, and you lose your strength bonus to damage. (No loss ofs pecialiazation bonuses, though.)

[15:38] <DK_Rei> 12,0Kotono rolled :12,0 1d6 --> 12,0 6
[15:38] <Kotono> Somehow she finds a chink in Gavin's armor, tearing into his arm and metal! OW! (6 damage.)

[15:39] <DK_Rei> 12,0SirGavin rolled :12,0 1d20 12,0THRUSTING STRIKE --> 12,0 18
[15:39] <Kotono> Meanwhile the mage chants, staggering on his hands and knees to get off one last spell! "Dignirz...Olayr!" Two poitns of light come from his fingers, magical missiles, the stable of scrubby mages everywhere, flying at Gavin!
[15:39] <Kotono> roll 2d4+2
[15:39] <DK_Rei> 12,0Kotono rolled :12,0 2d4+2 --> 12,0 6

[15:40] <SirGavin> OOC: Unconscious hopefully?
[15:40] <Kotono> OOC - Yep.
[15:40] <Kotono> With this blow as Gavin's body is wracked by missiles, the mage crumples down! He's out and bleeding, nastily hurt and not moving!
[15:42] * SirGavin spins about, wincing as he puts his bladesmanship to fully taking down the woman, still sheathed.
[15:43] <SirGavin> roll 1d10+2 little knight
[15:43] <DK_Rei> 12,0SirGavin rolled :12,0 1d10+2 12,0little knight --> 12,0 5

[15:46] <Kotono> roll 1d20
[15:46] <DK_Rei> 12,0Kotono rolled :12,0 1d20 --> 12,0 12
[15:46] <Kotono> But she again misses, glancing off Gavin's armor!
[15:47] <SirGavin> roll 1d10+2 is swift, not stopping his assault.
[15:47] <DK_Rei> 12,0SirGavin rolled :12,0 1d10+2 12,0is swift, not stopping his assault. --> 12,0 11

[15:48] <DK_Rei> 12,0Kotono rolled :12,0 1d20 --> 12,0 16

[15:50] <Kotono> This blow isa  lot better! It staggers her back, knocking her on her rear and dazed! "Get up!" one burly man cries, "Get going!"

[15:55] <SirGavin> roll 1d10+2
[15:55] <DK_Rei> 12,0SirGavin rolled :12,0 1d10+2 --> 12,0 7
[15:55] * SirGavin moves back, his sword lashing out to render her unconscious, frowning, but ignorning the rabble.

[15:56] <DK_Rei> 12,0Kotono rolled :12,0 1d10 --> 12,0 5

[15:58] <Kotono> OOC - Oi, critfail-chan.
[15:58] <SirGavin> OOC: what the heck was she trying to do o_o;
[15:58] <SirGavin> OOC: Oh, save versus unconscious?
[15:58] <Kotono> OOC - Save vs death magic to avoid KO.
[15:58] <Kotono> CLANG! A series of blunt tramas to her head! She just collaspes, nary a word as she's KOed like nothign else!
[15:59] * SirGavin turns to the others, drawing himself up as much as possible. "Disperse. Under the law, these two are under arrest."
[15:59] <Kotono> roll 1d20 high good for Gavin
[15:59] <DK_Rei> 12,0Kotono rolled :12,0 1d20 12,0high good for Gavin --> 12,0 15
[16:00] <Kotono> The crowd menaces! They stare at Gavin for long moments, but slowly begin to fade away, fleeing!
[16:02] * SirGavin closes the door and tends to the both, making sure: A)They're not going to wake up anytime soon, B)that they're not going to die on him.
[16:02] * SirGavin follows this by stripping them of weapons, spell pouches, etc.
[16:03] <Kotono> They're not going to wake up, but aren't dying. The short sword is on the woman, and a decently made dagger is on the man. A few spell pouches - compnents that mean nothign to Gavin inside.
[16:35] * SirGavin removes them and puts them aside in his bag, mostly to ensure that they're not in grabbing range if by some chance they stir.
[16:35] * SirGavin checks the the door in the back, wanting to make sure he's not leaving dangerous stuff behind.
[16:42] <Kotono> This time the door opens. A small room is here - several sacks aer scattered about in a clean room, as well as some foodstuffs. It's not large, but there are candles to shed light. No windows.
[16:46] * SirGavin examines it, checking for secret lairs, back passages, and other signs of foul doing.
[16:48] <Kotono> OOC - Roll 1d20 unless you want to do this by hand? I 'm good either way.
[16:52] <SirGavin> roll 1d20 failDK_Rei
[16:52] <DK_Rei> 12,0SirGavin rolled :12,0 1d20 12,0failDK_Rei --> 12,0 15
[16:56] <Kotono> You find a crude hiding space under the floorboards. A thin book wrapped in heavy cloth is here. It's simple brown leather, maybe fifty pages?
[16:57] * SirGavin puts it away, Saul might be interested.
[16:57] * SirGavin sees if there's anything else before heading back to carry them.
[16:59] <Kotono> Not much of note. The sacks have strange odds and ends. Nothign worthwhile, probably myriad spell components. Who needs all this rose petal, anyway? As he waits, Gavin shimmers, suddenly tall again!
[17:00] * SirGavin stretches out. "That was uncomfortable..."
[17:00] * SirGavin packs the stuff and carries them out, one under each arm, heading towards the jails to deposit them.
[17:01] <Kotono> As you head out, af ew miscreants still trail Gavin! "Takin' them away," one sneers, "Gonna chop their heads off while you eat good food?"
[17:02] * Hotarubot is now known as BiReikobot
[17:07] <SirGavin> "If I was, they would already be dead.  They are being taken back for trail.  Despite what you may think, we protect all citizens, not simply the rich.  But we also enforce on all citizens, not simply the rich."
[17:08] <Kotono> "Yeah, right!" You get some rotten fruit thrown at you for the trouble, but they dare not do anything more. So Gavind rags his mission along, having at least gotten them behind bars.
[17:09] * SirGavin cleans up before going to meet his commander to report.
[17:09] <Kotono> It's duskfall at this point, but Sir Siegmund is found in his office still. Idly twirling his moustache and relaxing, "Aaah. It went well, from all reports?"
[17:10] <SirGavin> "A little messier than I like, sir, but he and his accomplice were apprehended."
[17:10] <Kotono> "Good show," Siegmund breaks a smile at that, "I'd heard you came back looking like hell - hell, you still look it even after some patching up."
[17:14] * SirGavin gavin looked a bit embarassed. "I'll need to do better next time, but at least alls well that ends well."
[17:17] <Kotono> "At least." A raised eyebrow, "Is yoru back well? Women usually aren't that devastating to it even in the heights of passion."
[17:26] <SirGavin> "A bit sore, and I'll probably have a scar to remind me to watch my back."
[17:28] <Kotono> Smiling a little, "Aye. The scars women leave are usually at elast good memories." Chuckling to himself, "Sit down if you can. You're proving to be most effective, if getting a reputation of working alone or with your own allies."
[17:30] <SirGavin> "Of course I can, Sir Siegmund.  I have time."
[17:35] <Kotono> "With your previous deeds, Lord Demetrius backing your Zamzar tale, and this, you're moving up quickly. It's just that..." Seigmund ponders long and hard. "I think you're a good knight and want to be so, but I wonder if your heart is in other places in ways."

[17:40] * SirGavin frowns a bit, notably a little disappointed at the lack of faith. "What do you mean, Sir Siegmund?"

[17:41] <Kotono> "I don't mean this as an insult in the least." So saying after a pause to gauge Gavin's face, rubbing his cheek, "There are many people that do good in this world. Knights are only one of them, but I like to think we all try to be on the same side. It's just that I wonder if your heart years for more freedom to do things and go about sometimes."
[17:44] <SirGavin> "To adventure is good, but order provides the stability for others to live their lives freely.  To be such a pillar for those around, is one of our goals as knights and so I can see no better place to serve."

[17:46] <Kotono> "Ther eare other pillars, Gavin," Siegmund considers you very long and carefully. "Paladins exist - even if you won't become one without  Orial's blessing from Elysium, they are born every now and again, but they are only one such example. I merely mean that perhaps you wonder if you would be a better pillar in a different calling?"
[17:55] <SirGavin> "I do not really.  For ages my family has been of the knights, and I find it suits me well to continue our calling."
[17:55] <Kotono> "Mmmm." Sir Seigmund pauses, rooting in his things for a small flask. He takes a long nip from it, pondering. "Mmm. Will you find it to be so if I command you to cease adventuring and stay with in the garrison at all times except on orders?"

[18:06] <Kotono> "That's not the question, Gavin," Seigmund smiles faintly, taking another sip from his flask. "Will you be happy with yourself if I did so. Will you be as convincted of your path?"
[18:07] <SirGavin> "Possibly for a while.  Though sitting here doing nothing is not so much in my nature when we still have so very much we can do out there."
[18:08] <Kotono> "Really? Tell me - you want to go out there and do good? How so? Off to rescue princesses and recover lost fortunes?" Your commander asks you curiously, apprasing you very carefully again, eyes meeting Gavin's.
[18:13] <SirGavin> "Those are fairy tales.  While I would be lying to say wealth has no draw on me, it's the people.  We are the knights, the symbols of hope when things go bad, those that step forward when others will not to protect those who cannot protect themselves.  We strive for more from ourselves both for ourselves and to provide all something to reach for.  Est sularis est mithas, my honor is my life."
[18:13] <SirGavin> "An honorable man does all he can within honor to better himself and those around him.  To protect their ways of life."
[18:14] <Kotono> Siegmund turns away at this, looking at the wall Gavin sees behind him. He takes another drain from his flask, "Those are pretty words, Gavin."
[18:17] <SirGavin> "Is something else wrong, Sir Siegmund?  Bothering you?" gavin eyed his commander.
[18:18] <Kotono> "Not I. I just wonder if...mmm. Go home and sleep, Gavin. Enjoy the slumber I'm certain you'll not wake up from." Now he turns, an amused smile on his face.
[18:19] <SirGavin> OOC: >_> wha? o_O
[18:20] <Kotono> OOC: ASk him then if you're curious about his reaction.
[18:20] <SirGavin> "W-what, sir?  what do you mean by that?" A bit suspicious and confused.
[18:21] <Kotono> Now Siegmund laughs, "You'll sleep without a worry or care in the world. Go," Waving in dismissal, "Go sleep an innocent sleep."
[18:21] <SirGavin> "Fine, fine.  See you later, Sir Siegmund." Gavin heads out.
