Silas and Gilmork search the library a bit more thoroughly and find a spellbook. Inside the spellbook is a note as well as a map of the Andoran/Cheliax border with an area along the coast circled.
My dear baron,
The power to put an end
to Andoran is here. Send
me six troops, a priest
of Norgorber who will
take orders and won’t
proselytize, a holy symbol
of Iomedae, and 30 feet
of silver wire, and I
will release the terrible
treasure.
Your servant,
Poltur
The Accursed
23 looks like a guards room
A table with a pair of chairs occupies the southern half of this
room. Tapestries depicting devils tearing each other apart with
spears and claws cover the eastern wall. Beneath it, a long
wooden rack holds a number of different weapons.
Silas Hawkwinter |
Silas frowns as he studies the note and muses, "Poltur, Poltur, Poltur that name seems familiar. If real, this note is possibly more important that any quality of jewels or money."
Kn:History: 1d20 + 8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 4 = 15
Kn:Local: 1d20 + 8 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 4 = 27
Kn:Nobility: 1d20 + 8 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 8 + 4 = 29
He stuffs the notes safely in his pockets, and hums a charm to understand magical writings and absentmindedly flips through the spellbook. As he reads through it he says, "Lets see what's in here, perhaps we could sell this to Vade if the contents are safe enough."
That done he asks the group, "Shall we check the upper level and then work our way down? I don't fancy leaving potential enemies at our backs."

Silas finishes flipping through the book and says, "I think we can offer this to Vade, seems to be pretty standard spells. No necromancy..."
He then heads towards the stairs in area 23, probably going up if the party agree.
Silas Hawkwinter |
As the walk up the stairs, Silas nods, "An unholy combination for sure Luc... Can't be healthy whatever that's about. I trust the general will be most grateful for this intelligence."
Silas Hawkwinter |
Silas laughs slight, "You mean Norgorber. Say Hecktor, you like to say you've been to a few of Father Brimshaw's screaming rants? Sorry I mean sermons. Anyway he loves, and I mean loves, to preach about the dangers and the evil of Norgorber's worship. And how those who dare to worship his evilness. All kind of hilarious since Norgorber is known as Father Skinsaw..."
Lucanor |
"Pardon... slip of the tongue. I would not underestimate that evil god though, and in this case, I fear an evil priest was planning on pretending to be a servant of Iomedae. "The Ruiner of Reputations" is Norgorber, among other things..." Lucanor says grimly.
Gilmork |
"All those gods and their tricks make no sense to me. I'd rather stick to the more straighforward gods." Gilmork remarks as he itches to go exploring further.
He listens at the next door and then enters the room unless he hears sounds of human presence in there.
Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
Listening at room 25, after that he'll go and take a look at room 27 and 24
Silas Hawkwinter |
Niles are you waiting on us? I think we're ready to go upstairs.
GM Niles |
Sorry! I was actually working on a post when my dad showed up this morning to help me fix my pool pump. And then my daughter had a soccer game, and then my brother and his family showed up to boil some crawfish... So I'm just now sitting down 9 hours later.
24
A stuffed brown bear sits on its haunches in the corner of this
room, fangs bared and glaring at the top of the stairs. The stairs head down to the first floor.
25
A pair of bronze gargoyles with spiral horns and heavy
protruding lower jaws squat atop large marble plinths in alcoves
in the southeast and southwest corners. Two doors in the north
wall exit the wide chamber and two short staircases ascend to a
landing where a single staircase between them continues to the
next level. Narrow windows on the staircase landing look out
onto the bailey below. These stairs head up to a ballroom.
Gilmork |
"Yeah, let's hope neither of those things happen. Now we have to decide if we go up or down the stairs. I vote we go up the stairs first."
Gilmork remarks as he looks at the bear and gargoyles with piqued interest.
Silas Hawkwinter |
Silas eyes the bronze Gargoyles warily, thinking 'That's the kind of luck we don't need...
Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
He cautiously makes his way up towards what must be the roof.
Heading up from area 25.
Silas Hawkwinter |
Silas replies "Lets see." He then hums a tune while concentrating. Cast detect magic. If there's nothing beyond the continual torch, Silas will head upstairs.
GM Niles |
Silas and the party climb the stairs which lead to a ballroom. In the ball room is A middle aged man flanked by three men in distinctive armor DC 12 Kn:Local
The heraldry on the man shows him to be Baron Vendikon.
You Andoran assassins have made it this far. You will go no further!I will now entertain your pleas for mercy and accept your surrender if you beg.
Map updated.
Silas Hawkwinter |
I don't expect this to work, but if it did...
Silas looks at the man disdainfully thinking 'This is the architect of the town's suffering', but then twinkle comes into his eye and a deep cunning smile steals across his face. In his best stage voice, Silas remarks jovially "Ah Baron Vendikon! Your grace, I heard the most amazing joke. I think you'll agree with he that this is really quite hilarious. Apparently the Andoran people have this adorable idea that the natural order of the world is one where there is a government of the people, for the people, by the people." Silas chuckles darkly before adding, "I mean really! What are they thinking?! Next thing you'll be amazed to hear is they are policed by consent. That is to say they collectively submit to the power of civilian police officers and allow them to arrests anyone. Anyone! WHAT ARE THEY THINKING? Anyway get this, it's best joke of all. They sent me, a pesant, here to arrest YOU! HAHA ISN'T THAT HILARIOUS?!"
Silas casts Hideous Laughter on him DC 15 will save.
Silas Hawkwinter |
I don't think we were in rounds, but we probably are now.
GM Niles |
Vendikon: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28
??????????: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

Hecktor |
Holy sh!t, Hellknights? There's some serious fighting here. :)
Hecktor shows no doubt and charges up to red. to square SW of red.
"Haha, time for a rumble."
Scythe, charge, vital strike: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 14 + 2 = 21 Dmg, vital strike: 2d4 + 2d4 + 11 ⇒ (3, 4) + (3, 4) + 11 = 25
GM Niles |
You cannot charge AND vital strike...charging is a full round action and vital strike requires only a standard action attack.
GM Niles |

Silas Hawkwinter |
Silas steps north west and hisses, "Hecktor, lets do this back to back!"
Hecktor if you take a 5' step SW they will have a hard time flanking you.
Silas disgusted by what he sees bellows, "So the filthy forces of Asemodeus show their hand at last. Come cockroaches, the light beckons... THERE SHALL BE A HOLY RECKONING! FOR ANDROAN AND THE LIGHT, SLAY THEM!"
Silas takes a 5' step NW.
Standard action: inspire courage 6/18 (one glorious day, that will be a move action).
Niles, Silas will use Saving Finale as needed in this fight.
Kn:Local - who is the new guy?: 1d20 + 8 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 4 = 30
It's going to be the local cleric of Asemodeus ofc.
GM Niles |
Gilmork fires three arrows, one hits for 10.
Haste is active 5 rounds, also Heroism is still good on Hecktor,Silas,Lucanor and Gilmork, a few more rounds 5 of Resist Energy also.
Round 2
Vendikon casts a spell and moves forward to attack Hecktor Spellstrike makes that legal...don't ask me how. Spellstriking Rapier: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27 hitting Hecktor for Rapier and Frigid Touch: 1d6 + 6 + 4d6 ⇒ (4) + 6 + (4, 5, 2, 3) = 24 Hecktor is staggered for one round.
Silas inspires courage!
Jaxom
Hecktor [staggered]
Ambassador Gendji
Lucanor
Hellknight Armigers
Gilmork
Jaxom and Hecktor are UP
Silas Hawkwinter |
Niles, are the current hero point totals from the tab accurate?
Silas Hawkwinter |
Spell combat is the really nasty one. Lets you full attack, with your melee weapon, then cast your spell and deliver it with another melee attack.
Hecktor |
Ok, not asking how.....
Just wondering how, to myself, with the full round action. ^^
"Hey, what did you do you twerp?"
Hecktor throws all attacks on the guy.
Scythe, heroism, power attack: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 14 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 25 Dmg: 2d4 + 11 + 7 ⇒ (1, 2) + 11 + 7 = 21
Scythe, heroism, power attack: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 14 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 16 Dmg: 2d4 + 11 + 7 ⇒ (4, 3) + 11 + 7 = 25
Hasted.
Scythe, heroism, power attack: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 14 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 26 Dmg: 2d4 + 11 + 7 ⇒ (4, 3) + 11 + 7 = 25
Afterwards, he 5ft steps SW.
Silas Hawkwinter |
Sorry Hecktor you are staggered. I would recommend using hero points.
Hecktor |
Bugger...well the 1st is still in effect. But moving and taking a full attack action? Is the guy using anti-hero points? :)
With the hero points...erm, it's either taking a 2nd attack, but i'm feeling this ominous situation approaching. The 2 points option seems appealing.
GM Niles |
@Hecktor its a Magus class feature its called Spellstrike and it lets them cast a touch spell and then move and deliver it via a weapon attack all in one round. Also, you are staggered which means no full attack.
Round 2
Vendikon casts a spell and moves forward to attack Hecktor hitting Hecktor for 24 Hecktor is staggered for one round.
Silas inspires courage!
Jaxom Gonna bot him cause everyone is online right now. casts Dispel Magic on Vendikon CL: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25 Vendikon is no longer Blurred...
Hecktor [staggered] smacks the Baron for 21!
Ambassador Gendji steps forward to attack Silas again Human Bane and Judgement: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23 he hit Silas for Heavy MAce: 1d8 + 9 + 2d6 ⇒ (6) + 9 + (3, 5) = 23
Lucanor
Hellknight Armigers
Gilmork
Lucanor is up...Might bot him since Gilmork/Silas and Hecktor are all online
Silas Hawkwinter |
Niles I think you missed my question, are the hero point totals in the campaign tab accurate?
Gilmork |
Hecktor as another option, you could use a hero point to get another standard action. Might I suggest instead of full attacking using two Vital Strike hits on him? As you can take a single standard action and get another one from a Hero Point.
Silas Hawkwinter |
Well we need to focus fire. That cleric seems to be super dangerous. I'm somewhat hoping Luc can deal with him. If Hecktor and Silas drop red then vendikon that would be ideal. Right now we have too many does we need to disable kill some pronto.
