Highland Archipelago: Terror in the Mist (IC)

[shugyosha]

Thar

As they walked Thar rummaged through the tiny bad. He begins to take things out, first his fetish mask then a book which clearly was not his. He unceremoniously hands it off Cael. Thar continued this, keep everything that he knew was his and then handing what wasn't his to the closest person, until the tiny bag was empty.

When the reached the doors he looks at the pictures on the door to see if he can make any sense of it. He is surprised when Vash opens the doors and even more surprised at the three forms.

He returns their words with his.

"We opened the steal doors... who are you?"
OOC: Can Thar ID the language? If so what language is it?

Another of the creature step forward, he is wearing more accessories,and his skin is a dark shade of gray.
Thar:

"We are the steelskin clan , you are trespassing on our land, you will be coming with us to explain why you are here."

One of the creature sneaks up behind you with a crossbow, positioning itself in the way of the opening door, aiming the crossbow at pedivere.

[Comissar]

Cael took the book tentatively off of Thar, hardly daring to believe it was what she thought it was. When she confirmed it was indeed her spellbook, she hugged it close to her. Her armour was the next thing to come out, she put it on with great relief, no longer feeling so exposed. When her backpack finally came out the bag, she checked inside it to see whether everything was as it had been. Happy that it was, she put it on over her armour.

"Thankyou, Thar."

As the small creatures started surrounding them, she tried to back away a little from the one with the crossbow. She didn't wish these creatures any harm. Realising Thar could understand them, and reply in kind, she turned to speak to him again.

"Tell them we just want to leave, we don't want to hurt them."

Pedivere sighed and concentrated upon the diminutive creatures with the crossbows.

Detect Evil

[ninthbit]

At the first sight of a threat (likely the crossbow on Pedivere) Vash'iar releases a dagger into the palm of his hand and drives it at the little crossbowman that threatens his companion. He then angrily replies, "Keep your tiny little weapons off me and my companions or by the gods I'll slaughter the entire lot of you. I am NOT in the mood for this today"

Spoiler

He isn't trying to drive the dagger into his chest or anything. He’s just trying to disable the assailant by putting it in his shoulder or arm or something. I'd disable the weapon, but even in Pathfinder rules it's just easier to stab the little bastard.

Dmg: (1d4+4)[5]

I guess he misjudge just how short they really are.

[Crazyfailure13]

At the throwing of vash's dagger the three other crossbows quickly come up and fire at him, along with the one he threw the dagger at.

Vash:

you take 16 damage, i rolled it off screen for ease.

[ninthbit]

Without a word, Vash unsheathes his long elven blade and brings it to bare on the one that was previously threatening Pedivere.

Spoiler

I’m assuming that since all 4 just shot a two-handed weapon that none of them are technically threatening anyone at the moment, so I shouldn't draw an AoO from the draw as I move into flanking melee.

Stupid 60 second rule got me...

Not sure if a 15 will confirm. In any case, I'm guessing the little bugger is down.

If I were a guessing man, I'd think AC 15. +2 Dex, +1 Size, and +2 Leather, but depending on the class, I suppose it could be hide with giving an AC17.

Thar

"Stop!" he shouts at everyone, gazing through his horrid mask

Thar explains, "Tiny people are Steelskin Clan. This Steelskin land. Thar's group must go and explain why Thar's group is here"

[Morbis Meh]

Bishop groans "Why did I get stuck with the group of hot heads?" He holsters his gun and simply finds a wall to lean against whilst keeping his hand empty, open and in front of him showing he is unarmed and not a threat.

[ninthbit]

I'll put up my sword after they drop those friggin crossbows.

[Crazyfailure13]

Vash's sword swings true finding its place in one of the creatures chest area, dragging through its body you leave a giant gash, and you see it fall to the ground.

After that you see the things drop the crossbows.

Thar:

"You killed him! We are taking you in for trial, come quietly or we will kill you!

Vash:

sorry about that no crit you take only 12 damage, god im kicking myself for these mistakes.

[shugyosha]

Thar

Thar's words had come too late. The little thing lay dead from Vash's swing. "Can't you control these people!" he screams in half-orc at Pedivere. "We are intruders in their home and that one has killed one of them. Now they want us to stand trial!"

[ninthbit]

Trial... ya, good luck with that. I have no intention on submitting myself to their courts. Plus.... the little bastard may have an ounce of life left in him.
Vash dips an empty vial from a used potion into the water, adds a sprinkling of some powdered herbs and flicks the side with his finger to give it a light blue glow. Drinking the contents, he reaches down and gives the fallen "thing" a light slap across the face. "Wake up!"

[Edit: Just to clarify, Vash is replying in Common.]

Lets hope it didn't confirm and that he isn't at -10

[Crazyfailure13]

The things eye popped open, and quick as a flash it jumps up and draws a shortsword on Vash. The other steelskin follow suit, draw blades.

Thar:

"You! What are your purposes?! First you kill one of use then you revive him?!"

[shugyosha]

Thar

Thar sighed in relief. They were lucky this time. Speaking back to them in their language.

Spoiler

"My hot headed friend acted rash and was willing to make amends by reviving him. No harm done... Just a mistake."

[Crazyfailure13]

The Steelskins seem to falter a bit as thar speaks, three of talk in a language none of you recognize, and after a moment they yell out in the language to the one behind you all. Then one steps forward and speaks to thar again.
Thar:

Spoiler

Show

"Very well, you will be coming with us however to see the clan leader so that he may tell us if you are friend or foe."

[ninthbit]

Tired and frustrated, Vash'iar is almost to the point of foaming at the mouth with rage. I am NOT in the mood for this c***!

Thar, if these little s***s understand you, then you better tell them to f***ing disarm. There won't be any more healing. The next time I start swinging, they're all f***ing dying.

With a cough, he chokes down his mutegen and his arms and legs start to swell.

Mutegen Effects: +4 str, -2 Int.
Duration: 10 Mins? At least 1min. I'll check if it beomes an issue.

[Morbis Meh]

Bishop stands amused by the show being put on before him, he pulls out his waterskin and gingerly sips from it, slightly annoyed that the other orc wasn't bothering to speak to everyone but hey he was obviously foolish enough to be xenophobic. It amused him more to see the savage think Pedivere was in charge, sighing he places his waterskin back inside his pack and whistles a catchy tune to match the spectacle.

Ninthbit it is 10 min

[Crazyfailure13]

Both sides tense as Vash grows and gets ready to fight, then a voice rings out behind you all"Vashiar, stop! This senseless violence will only serve as suicide, these creature will not lower their weapons, because you have given them cause for mistrust, your prolonged streak of aggresion will serve only for them to kill you, and you are already hurt as is. See wisdom in putting your blade down." the girl finishs her talking with a sigh.

[Morbis Meh]

Bishop turns around and glowers at the girl "Hey now, why are you trying to stop this high quality entertainment? Vash needs to come to his own senses, which will probably be after another 4 bolts or so. "

[Grail]

This is stupid. I'm going back to the wolves to find out what is happening up there and get the truth about this place out of them.

Pedivere turns and heads back to the wolves.

[Crazyfailure13]

As Pedivere tries to leave the creature behind him points the shortsword at him, yelling in the same language that pedivere doesn't understand.

Thar only (as always):

"Don't move big man, you are coming with us!"

[Grail]

Pedivere shakes his head at the short creature and continues walking.

[Crazyfailure13]

The creatures yell angrily as Pedivere moves forward, and they all attack.
The injured one goes for vash, another launchs itself at Thar, the final moves around the fighting of thar and vash to go toward pedivere.

Bishop notes the agitated munchkins launch their assaults on his companions, he takes note on the one that attacked the orc that calls himself Thar and scowls "Hey now, you leave him be, he dun nothing but try to keep the peace around here. Now I am afraid I have to pull out my piece." Taking a step back he pulls out his gun and fires directly at the back of the gnome attacking Pedi's head.
