City of Llywyllynn

[whiteflash]

Okay sorry.

It happens. (Sorry I didn't post in the same thread. I didn't realize they were both called for until after I'd posted the Perception one, and the site's anti-cheating methods mean you can't edit a roll into a post.)

So, do these results mean I can still see the old woman, but miss something it'd be nice to see?

You believe the old woman is really an old woman she is not disguised.

"Excuse me Sir Vinet. It was good to see you again, but I might be needed over there", Fergus says, pointing toward the sound of commotion.

He extricates himself from the young noble and makes his way towards the sound.

And yet you already told me that Davey realizes she's moving faster than an old lady should...

Although that's actually not impossible: there's a monk feature that lets you ignore the effects of old age right up until the end. But she shows no sign of being a monk.

Would an old woman protected by that class feature look her true age? Or would she seemingly freeze in time when she hit level 15, or even de-age herself like Genkai from Yu Yu Hakusho?

Davey follows the old woman with his eyes, to see where she slips off to in the confusion. The kid's right: there's something weird going on.

[LoneStarCowboy]

Evandur, while sitting in a pew, waiting for the pastor of the church to come back, perked up. If he was right, and he was pretty sure he was, there was a huge commotion going on outside. "What in the Gods' names is going on, outside?" He got up from the pew, walking out of the cathedral, to see what was happening.

[gryffydd65]

Anyone near the old woman hears a faint word and then sees silvery mist. The old woman is gone.

okay we are going to move to combat. As of right now the sidewalk area is filled with people.
Most of those people are headed towards the stands. I will send messages to those people who roll a 15 perception as to what they see next. Then it will be up to you to respond back here.

The commotion draws his eye and he stands, bandore still in hand, watching to see what would happen next. He never quite stops playing either Well that seems... off.

[LoneStarCowboy]

Evandur must've been seeing things, but he could've swore that he saw a woman disappear in a cloud of smoke. He decided to look closer, even though he could see that something was happening in the crowd.

"Hey, little ruffian!"

Davey points at the retreating boys. "She teleported over there and disguised herself. She's one of those two identical boys. That one, specifically. She's clearly got some sort of underhanded plan going on, or she wouldn't be going to all this trouble."

"What we should do is tell the guards, but I'd rather sit here and enjoy the festival, and you're probably going to want to handle it yourself, aren't you?"

Garu manages to follow the quick directions given to her and sees the old woman change into a young man suddenly there are two men who look the same and then one walks in front of the other and you don't see him perception roll 15 agin.

[gryffydd65]

Post removed as I had thought Ramsus roll was for perception and instead it was for initiative.

[Pyrophilios]

The word "Shapechanger" reached Vindariel's ears and made him look up. He couldn't stand the buggers - and since this here seemed to shape up into a brawl, he felt he was righteously empowered to join in.
"Now, what's that then?" He called out, only slightly slurred. "Seems like there are spies in the city - could be anyone - better punch your neighbor in the face to see if he is real or some shapechanging little ****."

ok roll persuasion roll you want to roll low or some people might believe you especially if they saw the shape shifter .

[gryffydd65]

The city guard pulls something from around his neck. A bright streak flashes from his pointing finger to the dais where the council members are sitting and then blossoms with a low roar into an explosion of flame. Each creature in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on that point must make a Dexterity saving throw. A target takes 34 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The fire spreads around corners. It ignites flammable objects in the area that aren’t being worn or carried.

The city guard was 30 feet away from where it first disappeared. The city guard turns around away from the dais and starts to walk away.

[Pyrophilios]

Not even Vindariel was able to miss such an obvious attack. Propelled by liquid courage and the mercenary instinct for loot and glory, he charged at the traitorous guard before they could vanish once more.

He glares over at the shapeshifter. This was a festival, it didn't seem right to just start killing folks. He notices some of the people are still moving and breathes before shouting at the arsonist You didn't even do it right! You must be the failure of your whole damn bloodline! and then to the fallen council member still moving he yells And you! Get back up, it's not the kind of day to die!

Gura Ganu-Gatho Shifter Druid AC: 18 HP: 67/67 PP: 18 PIv: 10 PIs: 18 Conditions: -- Concentration: -- Gura growls in frustration as the "old woman" manages to evade her and manages to do exactly the kind of thing she was trying to get the attention of the guards to prevent them from doing. Only for the guards to somehow be completely inept and fail to do a single thing to protect the council members or prevent the culprit's attempted escaped. Thankfully someone else jumps in, unlike the somehow completely oblivious throng of people around them who managed to fail to grasp someone she was basically shouting for everyone to notice as a threat.... that they were/still are a threat. She was mad an almost wound up focusing on the culprit, but then she noticed someone else doing the smart thing and going to heal their victims. So with a chomp of her jaws she delivered a bite of frost to the culprit but then ran over to heal a council member herself, not that healing was really her focus as a druid.

"Are you kidding me?!"

Davey runs a bit closer to the action, so that he can chase the assassin down if she(?) tries to flee. "Why couldn't you just use the festival to cover a heist like a normal villain?"

[gryffydd65]

2nd round As the fire was never put out( see ooc) a second explosion rockets the dais . Gura and Daelus make dex save 12 for half, full damage is 24.

The shape shifter once again causes silvery mist to form and has escaped from the grapple. Perception roll 15 to see it before it changes.

Spoiler: ooc

ok first thing the fire was never put out and fireball states items on a person or carried do not catch on fire but the chairs and the wooden dais does and something causes an explosion from underneath the dais. The shape shifter is at disadvantage for attacking by vicious mockery and gura frost spell missed both saves and took damage.
But Misty step only requires verbal components so the mage could just speak some words and teleport out of the grapple.

[Pyrophilios]

"Slippery little ****" Vindariel wasn't detered by the renewed escape. He might not have been the most astute observer at the moment, but he had plenty of instinct and raw cunning to help him out.
The assassin might be able to hop around a bit, but there was nothing wrong with his feet and so he ran after the fallen figure that had just appeared across the street.
"You aren't getting away that easy, you pink poodle."
Drawing his trusty riding bow, he nocked the first arrow and shot.
"Leaving a trail of blood will do well to find you again, you ***** ****** of a ******.

the city guard managed to pop up on the other side of the street and moved to a standing position. He moved 15 feet away and then he is hit with two arrows in his back. He yells loudly Get reinforcements. We are under attack. perception is 12 to find him and those close to the guard indeed believe him. And start yelling as well but no physical involvement.

"Crap, those were my employers you just killed, weren't they?"

Davey runs towards the drunken captain who'd seemingly caught the asssassin. "You. Party enthusiast. Which way?"

(1d20+7)[10] to see if I can answer my own question before he does.

[Pyrophilios]

"Do you think I shoot random people for fun... right now?"
Vindariel replied to the man, slurring his words only a little, while pointing at his target.

[whiteflash]

"Right now? Okay, I'm buying you your poison of choice when this is over."

Davey looks over at the guards. "Oh, ****."

"They're in disguise! That's an assassin! Check for an illusion!"

Evandur did not expect pure pandemonium to ensue, yet here he was, a fireball flying through the air, and hollers of illusionists. Evandur quickly drew his sword, and took the heater shield strapped to his back off, and equipped it. Pelor guide me...
