AVB - The Fallen One

[Rizban]

You indeed find the one most removed from the rest. He seems to be taking a short break from patrolling to smoke.

Casually walk past him. If the street is only 10 feet wide attack when we're next to each other, that way a Withdraw action won't avoid an AoO

Do I have a surprise round?
Initiative - (1d20+3)[12]

[Rizban]

The street is about 15 to 20 ft wide, but there's a number of small alleys between the buildings.

You don't have to put everything in spoilers...

You don't get a surprise round unless he doesn't see you move to attack. Also, you don't get one if you don't actually attack.

[TheFallenOne]

"Evenin', officer." While passing, Sedrach makes a sudden swipe at the whistle of the watchman.

attack - (1d20+9)[28] damage - (1d4+7)[11]

Assuming I have a surprise round

I'm used to posting everything OOC, including rolls, in a spoiler, everything IC outside. If you prefer another way of formatting I can do without.

edit: so, what is that to make him not see me move to attack. Bluff check? Or must I be completely unseen?

OOC chat and rolls are neater inside a spoiler, but if you're going to perform an action, please put it outside of the spoiler. Otherwise, I'm just going to ignore any actions inside the spoiler you don't mention outside of it.

You win initiative and get the attack.

"How dare you strike an officer of the law?!"

He draws his sword and attacks you, hitting for (1d8+3)[10] damage.

[TheFallenOne]

Actually, as winning initiative means I get a full round action, shouldn't I have my secondaries on a full attack as well before he acts? And the whistle is destroyed I hope?

[Rizban]

Sure. Sorry, I'm pretty tired at 3AM...

[TheFallenOne]

No worries.

Secondaries vs FF AC. Take -4 for nonlethal damage on all attacks except bite

Claw - (1d20)[2] nonlethal - (1d4+5)[6]

Claw - (1d20)[17] nonlethal - (1d4+5)[6]

Claw - (1d20)[16] nonlethal - (1d4+5)[8]

Bite - (1d20+1)[20] lethal - (1d6+2)[7]

Also, I stupidly forgot to roll Knowledge Devotion Local - (1d20+5)[15] --> add 1 to all attack and damage rolls above

Short pause before my follow-up turn, just want to know if I did any nonlethal to decide whether to take the -4 again

[Rizban]

You hit him for 6 nonlethal and 7 lethal.

He hits you for 10 lethal.

[TheFallenOne]

"Successfully, I hope", Sedrach retorted, showing his bloody teeth in a wide grin. He unleashed a flurry of attacks on the watchman, the pain of his sustained wound fueling him to give his strikes an extra edge.

Primary claw - (1d20+10)[22] lethal - (1d4+8)[10] Riposte - (1d6)[1]

Secondary claw - (1d20+6)[25] lethal - (1d4+6)[10] Riposte - (1d6)[5]

Secondary claw - (1d20+6)[25] lethal - (1d4+6)[10] Riposte - (1d6)[3]

Secondary claw - (1d20+6)[23] lethal - (1d4+6)[7] Riposte - (1d6)[5]

Secondary bite - (1d20+3)[11] lethal - (1d6+3)[7] Riposte - (1d6)[6]

Stop attacking if he goes unconscious. 17 HP buffer between unconsciousness and death will hopefully be enough.
Heal 6 HP any time I hit him(Martial Spirit + 2 Essentia in Therapeutic Mantle)

edit: quite nice rolls there... Could have taken the -4, but I was very concerned about him calling for help.
Also, should have been 7 nonlethal, 8 lethal with Knowledge Devotion bonus

[Rizban]

After your second claw attack, he collapses. A pool of blood starts to form around him, but he seems to still be alive... for now.

[TheFallenOne]

To heal or not to heal... Does he look like he fits in my bag of holding(250 pounds max)?

[Rizban]

Spoiler

Show

He and his gear combined definitely weigh more than 250. Naked, he'd probably fit.

[TheFallenOne]

Sedrach draws his Lesser Vigor wand and gives the man a charge to make sure he doesn't bleed out. Followed by some less than friendly kicks and punches in the rips to make sure he stays out cold. He then puts his sword back in the scabbard and removes the man's armor and uniform, stuffing it into his mundane bag.

Spoiler

move to draw wand, standard to use. Then full round nonlethal attack, stop when I reached 30 damage
If there's a dark, secluded place with cover I can drag him to I do so before I start stripping him.

[Rizban]

He regains consciousness, looks directly at you, tries to move, then is immediately pummeled into unconsciousness by your attack.

You drag him into the nearby alley.

[TheFallenOne]

Sedrach strips him, gear into his mundane bag, and then attempts to shove the body into his Bag of Holding.

[Rizban]

It all goes according to plan.

[TheFallenOne]

Excellent. He shouldn't suffocate too soon, but still Sedrach returns to the Dancing Wizard without wasting another second, blinking into his room, then retrieving the body to manacle his hands behind his bag, tie the legs with a rope and gag him with a piece of cloth.

[Rizban]

You do so.

[TheFallenOne]

Before starting the interrogation, Sedrach inspects what gear the watchman had carried besides armor and weapon.

[Rizban]

He had his clothing, a tabard (now torn and bloody) with the emblem of the Watch, a whistle, manacles, 7.23gp, a personal identification paper, and a snuff box of tobacco with paper and matches. Careful searching reveals a small gem the size of a man's fingernail attached to his left temple hat is obviously magical.

[TheFallenOne]

Hm... Hope this isn't what I fear it is. Sedrach takes all the man's stuff including the gem and puts it into his Bag of Holding, then puts a thick piece of cloth as blindfold over his eyes. He gives him a charge of his Lesser Vigor wand to wake him up.

Spoiler

That heals 11 lethal and 11 nonlethal. If still unconscious another charge.

"Hey there, how's it hanging? I will explain to you how this will work. I will ask a series of questions and expect honest answers. Just to make sure you don't try to get smart on me I will already know some of the answers. If I am dissatisfied with your cooperation, there will be a tax - first your right ear, then your left eye, then your right nipple, then something on the left again as we continue to go down. Follow me so far? Say 'Hmmhm' for yes."

[Rizban]

Spoiler

Just curious, but, what do you think it is?

Two charges later... "Hmmhm."

Communications/tracking device would be bad. Ioun Stones look similar, but float instead of being attached.

"Very good. Does the watch currently hold alleged spies from the Empire of Seven Dragons? Nod or shake your head."

[Rizban]

He shrugs, apparently to indicate that he doesn't know.

[TheFallenOne]

Sedrach lightly grabs the man's right ear between thumb and pointer. "You sure about that?"

Spoiler

Show

roll Sense Motive as appropriate. Doing so myself would give too much metaknowledge from seeing the result of the roll

[Rizban]

He looks too frightened to lie to you.

[TheFallenOne]

"Well, that makes this shorter than anticipated.

Prisoners are held in the Fortress, right?

Where are the cells? Stop me when I'm there. Underground, ground level, first floor, second floor..."

Spoiler

Show

going with two questions per post unless you prefer another number

[Rizban]

He nods yes.

He nods when you say "Underground."

[TheFallenOne]

"Does the place have some protection against Teleportation?

Is there more than one underground level?"
