Spoilerhide - (1d20+2)[5]spot - (1d20+6)[7]Keiji gets another chance to spot his tail.
@KeijiSpoilerYou don't see anyone outside the HQ, but when you're waiting at the pub you notice you have a tail. It's a beggar, probably in his thirties He's dirty and pock-marked, but moves after you with surprising agility.
@JasterSpoilerIndeed. Well, if you wish to know about Vicciano, we must ask you to be our guest. These gentlemen are here simply to ensure that you accept our hospitality. You are escorted through the doorway and to the right, then through a door into a room with iron holding cells. Leave your gear here, indicating a medium sized chest. One of the thugs searches you [roll]1d20+8[/roll], and you are locked up.Last edited by madtinker; 2012-06-01 at 09:37 AM.

SpoilerCooperate for now. Start looking for things I can use in the event of a fight so that I can get to the chest. Then take twenty on the cell to see if it has any weaknesses. Is there a window anywhere in the room?
Also: Is gear defined as weapons, or my entire inventory?

Re: Machines of War
@Jaster
SpoilerYour gear is your backpack and any of your equipment that is in a bag or belt and all your weapons. Your cell is a five by ten enclosure with iron bars. The iron bars go floor to ceiling, with a single door. There is a window, but it is in the wall, without an opening for the bars. The back wall is about two feet from the walls, and there are three other holding cells. You have a chamber pot and two small cots hanging from the wall. The floor is solid oak planks and the ceiling is slats and stucco. The door to the cell is locked, and the door to the room is heavy oak and locked as well, but your hosts leave you alone in the room.Originally Posted by The Giant

I leave the pub and try to locate a building with a flat roof, preferably 2 stories with an alleyway. If I can locate one, I jump-tumble-climb my way to the top.

Re: Machines of War

SpoilerSo my inventory available is armor, cloak, ring, and concealed dagger?
Start searching for loose floorboards and then for loose ceiling slats. I want to know what my options are. Also, search the cots for something I could use to help me pick the lock. Leave anything I might find where it is. Take twenty on all searches, I won't have much else to do for awhile. Once that is done, and if my hosts have not returned, take the ends of my cloak and use them as cloak puppets and retell the story of Argough as best I can remember it.

Re: Machines of War
@Keiji
SpoilerYou are able to locate an alleyway with flat roofs. Your jump doesn't get you very far, but your climb gets you about halfway up the building. DMYour tail hangs out at the entrance to the alley, waiting.Spoilerclimb for tail(1d20+3)[10]
@JasterSpoilerYou find a stiff piece of wire, and a loose nail in the ceiling slats where the stucco has flaked away. Otherwise your cell feels pretty solid.
@CurfSpoilerIt's been a while since your com-padres left, much longer than it would take to simply go to HQ and come back.Last edited by madtinker; 2012-06-02 at 12:03 PM.

I get dressed. Grab a quick bite to eat downstairs. Leave a note with the inn keeper to give to Jaster if he comes back before I do.
Note Says:
Jaster
Went looking for you.
If I'm not back by dusk, I'll try and make it to the inn for breakfast.
If that fails, then you can find me where we first met.
If I'm not there, well I'm pretty sure you can figure out what happened to me.
Curf
End Note
I pull my hood over my head, and walk out into the streets. I head over in the general direction of Red Raven HQ blending in with the crowds. When I'm a block away from the HQ I slip into the back alleys and I attempt to climb to the roof of an adjacent building to Red raven HQ then hide at the top while keeping watch on the building.

SpoilerWait and see what happens. This may be a simple detainment. On the other hand it could be serious. Now that I know my options are escape, release, or rescue I will wait on the release or rescue options. Hopefully it will be an information and release situation.

Re: Machines of War
@Curf
SpoilerYour rolls didn't come out, make sure you don't try to preview your post. The roofs in this area aren't terribly difficult to climb, so after a little clambering you get up on a roof not far from the headquarters. The buildings in this part of town are single story affairs and built close together. You recall that when Red Raven holds bounties they have a room with several holding cells on the east side of the building, and there is a window that opens into the room (the holding cells are essentially large iron cages). In the rear of HQ is the barracks, Brutus's office is in the center with one window, and Trevor sits at a desk in the foyer.
@JasterSpoilerYou wait a while. Once in a while one of the thugs peaks in at you, but it seems no one is worried about you going anywhere.Originally Posted by The Giant

SpoilerWait patiently for them to make up their minds what they will do. If night comes and I haven't had a visitor to tell me what is going on I am busting out and burning the place down, after I look through their records and take everything light that isn't nailed down.

SpoilerAttempt to pick the lock and get some food from my own gear. I don't trust them at all. When night comes I am taking all the gold that isn't nailed down and as many documents that are as I can. Then torching the place.

SpoilerLooks like I am going to have to cut my way out in the morning. eat half of the bread and gravy, then if I feel okay after about an hour, eat the other half. Then, scratch the following message on the plate with the nail and try to throw it out the window. Message: Held in cell. Think bad stuff in morning. J.

Once on the rooftop, I creep over to the corner of the roof where the beggar was waiting and listen.
Move Silently (1d20+7)[27]
Listen (1d20+6)[20]
If it sounds like he is still waiting down there, I will sneak back toward the middle of the roof, and see if I can find a good route of roofs to get back to the inn or close to the inn.

Spoileryou don't detect any poison, the food actually tastes good. You hear the plate message ping on the cobbles outside.
@keijiSpoilerthe tail tries to climb the wall, but soon gives up. He scampers away, presumably going to fetch more muscle.Originally Posted by The Giant

Re: Machines of War

SpoilerIt is fairly easy to find gaps of ten feet or less, and with your mad skills roof hopping poses no challenge. You surprise a few people airing out their laundry, but otherwise your escape is clean.Originally Posted by The Giant
