Re: AvB - The adventures of Scribly
Spoiler
If it looks dodgy and smells dodgy it probably IS dodgy! But I rolled your spot on your way in and out but you didnt see them.
The two thugs close in as you are still suprised. Luckily for you the one behind you that seems by far the more blood thirsty but also experienced misses you by less than an inch.
"Kneel on the floor and this will go easy for you mister" he grunts.
The other one though takes advantage of your suprise and your attention being at his colleague and he drives his knife in your gut causing (1d4+1)[2] and (1d6)[4] damage.
Now that you have seen them moving around you, you are pretty sure these two guys fit the body type of the two youths from yesterday.

Work in Progress.
The guy who just stabbed you is covered by a light silver light and pops out of existence. The one behind you leaves an anguished cry full of fear but remains.
Not for long though. Seeing you just make his friend disappear he tumbles back, avoiding any blow you might have been planning and runs through the debris towards the cold night out.
Currently he is 60 feet away.Last edited by Monodominant; 2012-02-09 at 10:10 AM.

Re: AvB - The adventures of Scribly
Scribly steps up/down the stairs to where the man that dissapeared was.
Then he focusses and a small crystal shard appears in front of him, which flies at the attacker running away.

Re: AvB - The adventures of Scribly
The shard penetrates the man through the back and he collapses mid run. He starts spasming on the cold snowy ground slowly bleeding out.

Re: AvB - The adventures of Scribly
Five rounds later the other thug appears and stumbles down the stairs. A moment later your shard punches through his chest and he collapses murdered at such a young age.

Re: AvB - The adventures of Scribly
"Good riddance. Best make sure they don't cause any more trouble."
Scribly searches the bodies for anything of value and interest, and then drags the bodies upstairs. There, he piles them up with some old ledgers and uses control flames to burn them to ashes.
Scribly then heads back to the inn. It's been a long day.
During his evening meal he inquires about any scryers in the city.

Really suprised you dont have more on gather info...

Re: AvB - The adventures of Scribly

Well you remember what I told you about gather info (was it you or the general public? Cant recall.)
Three options
a) Roll Gather Info. Pretty standard. Majority of what you learn from gather info is accurate though there may be some falsehoods.
b) Roleplay it. No GI roll needed but possible other ones. You learn what the person knows which can be more than what you got with a gather info but may also be COMPLETELY wrong and not because they want to mislead you but because they know the wrong thing. If they WANT to mislead you it becomes even more difficult.
c) Knowledge local. Tell me you spend a day in town (in the appropriate district maybe) and then roll knowledge local about the issue you care for... by far the most accurate and probably most time consuming.

He heads of towards the university. When Scribly gets there he informs about divination services.
SpoilerI took the liberty of changing some of my skillpoints I got from my new level to Know (local). They were put in autohypnosis earlier.Last edited by Moranica; 2012-02-10 at 07:05 AM.

I am a Merciful God and thus you may do that!
Once again he arrives at the University. He sees flashes and hears booming sounds from the back of the main building where the university grounds and park are located.
Still noone seems to be paying attention to this. Eventually you are informed where the Divination faculty is and you get there quickly. There are only three people, two of which are together, waiting to see either the seer that does this for payment.
You recognise the couple, that is first in line as one of Lady Regira's attendants and the other one as the valet of Master Erek.AvB has come and gone. Its spirit still lives on in the few active threads...

Re: AvB - The adventures of Scribly
Scribly enters the line and tenses up a little when he recognises the two.
"Hehe, strange to be in line for divinations huh? One would think they could have forseen this .... ahh hahahaha."
He then proceeds to wait patiently."Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."

Re: AvB - The adventures of Scribly
The other guy just in front you laughs at your comment but couple simply give you an annoyed look.
Eventually a tiefling exits and you hear the valets name being called. He and the woman enter quickly. If you dont do anything 30 minutes later the couple exits with a look of disappointment in the valets face.
The guy in front of you is next and it seems that his is a more difficult problem as he only comes out 1 hour later. You then hear your name being called.AvB has come and gone. Its spirit still lives on in the few active threads...

Re: AvB - The adventures of Scribly
The room you enter is... suprisingly bland for a seers private quarters.
You see that there is actually a ledger with a quill and inkwell where you are supposed to write your name and time of visit.
Further in you see a large wooden desk behind which a fat man dressed in practical clothes rather than robes sits behind. The room is very neat with the exception of a pile of pillows at the corner of the room.
"Hello there!" the fat man answers jovially.
"I am Richard Umber and would like to welcome you to our services! To answer your question it all depends on what you exactly need from me but unfortunately the purpose also matters based on University regulations... on the bright side nothing you say will leave this room AND that is a guarantee we can safely give due to our failsafes!" he says and motions to you to sit accross him.AvB has come and gone.

He places his finger on his lips thinking.

And you roll a bluff in the mean time.
"I believe I can... the more detailed the description the easier it will be to find them... now I can explain to you the various options and you can choose what suits you the best!" he says and smiles.
"So... the standard option with such a request when all you have is a name and description is a locate person centered on my familiar that can fly all around the city. Given the size of our fair city though that may take more than one casting. The cost per casting is 370 gold and keep in mind that the power will not work if your friend is behind more than 3 feet of stone or 1 foot of metal..." he waits for a moment and continues.
"The other option is scrying. That puts you back 490 gold but given the very limited amount of information if your friend doesnt want to be found then there is a good chance the spell will fail... the more we know about someone the easier it is for me to find them for you..."
"The next option is well... a greater scrying. The main difference is that the spell is more powerfull and even with less information they are less likely to resist! Still I cant guarantee success and the cost is 1050 gold..." he pauses once more and then grins.
"Now if you are really worried about your friend and willing to pay to find him I can ask the assistance of Professor Hathes who is the master of divination for the University and he can attempt to Discern Location... this is high magic though and also means asking the Professor to waste his time to help the public and as such I expect he wont do it for under 1600 gold..."AvB has come and gone.

Re: AvB - The adventures of Scribly
"Reducing the area of the search means reducing the chance of failure in the case of your first option. My familiar is pretty competent and I guess he could travel around Old Town with one casting..." he replies.
"As for street kids... you will pay them and never see them again. Plus my method is silent and noone will know you sent an army of street urchins after the friend of your friend..."

"I see, well I guess I'll go with the familiar thing then."
Scribly then proceeds to give the description. Of both if possible for the price, but otherwise the one of the man, since it is more accurate."Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."

Re: AvB - The adventures of Scribly
He explains that the spell locates one creature only and as such cant accept two targets.
The fat man gets up, after you give the money, and heads to the area with the pillows. He sits down and motions to you to join him.
Once you are there he opens the fold of his jacket and out jumps a fat looking raven that stares at you with interest.
"Who's this then?" the raven asks and approaches you.
"This is Mr Scribly and he wants to find a friend of his friend that has been lost somewhere in Old Town... can you help us..." explains the diviner.
"Well... I can... are there any treats involved? Any eyeballs potentially for poor old Felton? Or maybe some shinnies? Or perhaps you know the location of any ravenettes in need of a warm fuzzy raven!" he croaks at you this time.AvB has come and gone. Its spirit still lives on in the few active threads...
