Long-Term Sandbox I

[Debatra]

And he's down.

[JDL]

"Yeah, tits down, arse up!" shouts Rosetta as her arrow drops the man unconscious and bleeding on the ground.

[DoctorFaust]

Del follows behind the armored human, swinging his axe at him with a roared battlecry of "Fer Karid!".

Shandri continued to follow after the combat, dashing towards and around Del to get in a position where she could attack the Armored Human with her dagger.

Moving until I'm one space to Del's left, then going for that Dagger attack.

Attack (1d20+3)[9]
Damage (1d4+2)[4]

[Debatra]

Hit and a miss. Laenia's turn.

[GameSpawn]

Laenia side steps, then moves diagonally until she's 10 feet to Del's left. She thrusts her longspear at the armored human.

Moving to two squares left of Del, which I believe lets me flank with his horse. If not, take 2 off of my attack roll.

Attack: (1d20+5)[15]
Damage: (1d8+1)[7]

[Debatra]

And that's a miss. The Human continues to focus on the horse.

(1d20+6)[18]
(1d20+6)[10]

Del, two more Handle Animal checks. Same bonus as last round.

[DoctorFaust]

Del clucks at his horse as the last human tries to goad it into doing something. "Rashers! Stay, girl."

Sorry for the delay, Debatra. Got crazy busy, and I forgot to check this game.

[Debatra]

The Human 5' steps north.

Rosetta.

[JDL]

"HereitcomeshereitcomeshereitcomesohGODIT'SHER E!" says Rosetta, rounding on the armored human and sending another arrow his way.

Move Action: Move 40 ft. clockwise circling Armored Human staying within 30 ft. at all times but more than 20 ft. away, ending movement in a square that does not provide any soft cover penalties to attack rolls
Standard Action: Ranged Attack vs. Armored Human within 30 ft. (Point Blank Shot applied)
Attack: (1d20+7)[21]
Damage: (1d8+4)[11]
Critical: (1d20+7)[16] if attack is natural 20
Bonus: (2d8+8)[15] critical damage

[Debatra]

You actually can't reach a spot that doesn't give soft cover from where you are, so you miss.

Del's up.

[DoctorFaust]

Del steps after the human, swinging his axe and shouting, "Stop runnin', ya coward! Stand and fight us, like an hon'rable man!"

5' step north, attack.

(1d10+3)[5]

[Debatra]

And he's down.

[JDL]

"Woo! Time to desecrate some corpses!" says Rosetta as she stows her weapons and loots the corpses.

[GameSpawn]

Laenia sighs at the bodies around her. Such a pity. "Does anyone require healing?"

[DoctorFaust]

Del slumps against his horse and groans. "Ah do. And Rosetta, I git why you want their stuff, but do yea have to be so gleeful about desecratin' their corpses?"

[GameSpawn]

Laenia moves up to Del and places her hand upon his shoulder, "Espiriti vivme. Apalate. That will take a minute to reach its full effect, but you should be restored to near full health."

Casting lessor vigor on Del, which will heal 12 hit points over as many rounds.

[Debatra]

Oh yeah, and 190xp each.

The nearest body to Rosetta is the Elf. On him, she finds fifty gp, a small blue tourmaline and a scroll. There's also his sword and studded leather armor.

Anyone want to do anything while she's looting?

[manwithaplan]

Shandri casually looks over to Rosetta as she loots. The woman's right eyebrow went up as she noticed the scroll.

"Is that an arcane work?" She queried. "If so, I could benefit from it."

[JDL]

"Knock yourself out, it's all gobbledygook to me," says Rosetta with a shrug, tossing over the scroll to Shandri. "Way I see it Del, these lot were fixing to do the same to us. Not my fault that fate chose me to return their karma back on them." Rosetta strips the elf of everything he's wearing until he's stark naked, loading the booty on Del's mount for carrying. "Heh, check out his jewels," she says in an entirely juvenile manner, before revealing the blue tourmaline. Then she moves on to the armored human and strips him too, whistling happily at the grisly work with entirely too much joy. She keeps her eyes and ears open as she works, making sure nobody is nearby to observe.

Taking 10 on Spot & Listen while looting. Taking the gold and jewel, giving the scroll to Shandri, putting the sword and leather armor on Del's horse Rashers. Checking if either the sword or armor are masterwork quality. Once we've got a full account of the loot, Rosetta will suggest splitting all the coin into four equal shares with any leftovers being used as petty cash for miscellaneous party expenses such as inn fees or road taxes. Suggest we appraise the gem later after we finish looting the bodies and hide the corpses. Wouldn't want anyone passing by and accusing us of banditry would we?

[manwithaplan]

Shandri opened up the scroll and peered over it, reading it through if it was of any interest to her.

[Debatra]

Shandri fails to identify the scroll, though it definitely has some kind of spell.

Both of their swords are masterwork, but not their armor. The formerly-armored Human has 200sp and a small, silver statuette of a Dwarf woman.

[JDL]

"Big chunk of change on this guy, and a gewgaw too," says Rosetta, moving to strip the third unarmored human of his possessions as she tosses the naked corpse of the armored human next to the elf.

Taking 10 on Spot & Listen while looting the unarmored human. Taking the silver and statue, and can you please let me know what armor and weapon the armored human was carrying? I'm assuming the elf had a longsword as a sword, not a bastard sword, great sword or short sword but if I'm mistaken please let me know. I'll put the armored human's weapon and armor on Rashers as I did with the elf's gear. Also the Elf used Command during combat which would mean he's a spellcaster, but I don't have anything such as a holy symbol or spell component pouch listed. Can I confirm he didn't have anything other than the items you listed?

[GameSpawn]

Laenia smiles at Rosetta's joke, but goes back to frowning at the bodies. She joins Rosetta in examining the unarmored human, speaking softly, to Rosetta alone, "Not that anyone finds flaw in your actions, but perhaps Del is concerned that if you take too much joy in death, you will seek it out." She shrugs, "If this is his concern, perhaps it is misplaced, and perhaps not. I wouldn't presume to know your mind. We should remember though, that we don't know their stories, just as they most likely didn't know ours."

[DoctorFaust]

"Nah, I'm not worried that she'll go lookin' fer death," Del says as he hauls himself up off the ground. He goes to slip his axe back into its belt loop, but grimaces, and rubs at his shoulder. "Hah. One of the buggers left a bruise. Hey, Rosetta, could ya check their belt pouches for any letters or the like? I'll help with the loading once I get a few things outta my saddlebags, but I think we should know if they were sent after us in particular, or were just bandits."

[JDL]

"Hey, I'm an adventurer," says Rosetta, wrinkling her nose as the smell of the dead bodies voiding their bowels and bladders wafts up. "I figure I'll probably die screaming as I watch some unspeakable horror eat my guts out of my chest. No sense in getting worked up over it though. If I wanted a nice safe life I'd have taken up in a brothel or some other easy money work. Now, let's see if these had any orders on them," she says, turning out their pockets and checking for letters or other notable items.

[GameSpawn]

Laenia shrugs, "What I mean is, there's risk in growing too comfortable with using violence to solve your problems. I don't want to lose you, whether to a bandit or a headsman's ax. I'm not saying this life doesn't suit you. Just be careful." She smiles sweetly, and places her hand on Rosetta's shoulder, "We both know you'd never charge enough to make good money in a brothel, though."

[JDL]

"Reminds me of a story I once heard. A farmer's been out in the woods cutting logs all day and his wagon is loaded with firewood. He's stopped at a roadside tavern for a mug of ale with the wagon out the front when a beautiful woman approaches him. 'I have an offer for you,' she says, eyeing him seductively as she leans close to give him a good view. 'I'm looking to trade sex for firewood.' The farmer leans back, nods his head as he looks her over, and then says: 'How much firewood you got to trade?'"

[GameSpawn]

Laenia laughs, then looks at the goods Rosetta's taken, "May I see the statue?"

[JDL]

"Sure thing, looks like someone's idea of art. They did a good job of her beard though. I once went out with a dwarf lass, you know. Poor thing couldn't grow facial hair to save her life. She got so desperate she actually took to shaving her lady bits and sticking it on her chin like a soul patch," says Rosetta, handing the statue to Laenia.
