Kamishiro_Rin March 31 Date On This Linaras, the 27th Day of Brookgreen, in the 351st Year After the Cataclysm (Sunday, March 27, 351 AC) ★The 8th Day of the Campaign - About 4:50 AM–5:00 AM★ Solinari: Waning Gibbous Lunitari: Waning Crescent Nuitari: Waxing Crescent Wheelwatch Outpost (Everyone) IC Round 4 (Concluded) From the southwest and northwest towers, you hear doors open. The sound of metal boots on stone echos through the torch-lit night. Suddenly, you hear human voice—now west of you—ask, “Hey, where’s that knife-ear Waesna . . . and where’s Smith, and that dwarf, and Barbedaxe?” A dwarven voice from the northwest answers, “Beats me, maybe they’re talkin’ to the captain.” “Yeah, but what’s that on the ground? An’ why are all three of them gone?” “Saunders, it’s nearly 5 bells. Maybe they’re nappin’ or playin’ cards, or somethin’,” the dwarven voice replies. “If the captain catches’em it’s on their heads.” “No, something’s amiss,” the human says, “I’m going down there to check it out.” For Coltan, you caught a glimpse of a dwarf in RDAS uniform armor coming from the northwest tower before he left your line of sight—the stables (directly to your west) are in the way). However, because you can see him, he can see you! Coltan throws himself up against the wall to hide, but obviously it’s too late. (OOC As was pointed out to me, I ruled that for this particular scenario, armors are not conferring disadvantage to the players for stealth checks. In addition, Merituuli’s pass without trace spell is still active. HOWEVER, the first roll in that pair of rolls at the bottom was still a 2 – 1 stealth + 10 p.w.t. = 11, below the RDAS dwarf’s passive perception of 12.) “Wait! I think I saw something over there, by the gate controls!” the dwarven voice suddenly says, “I’m coming with you.” “No, warn Lurden, if someone’s after the gate key, he needs to be ready,” the human replies. “If it’s nothin’, then it’s no big deal, but be ready to blow the horn if I give the signal!” For Artanis, Merituuli, Modri, and Hunni, you’re up against the walls of your respective buildings, so you can’t see any of them on the wall west of you and above you, but if you were to move eastward, you’d be spotted pretty easily. You hear the dwarf’s metal booted feet scurry back to the north tower. Jail Cells For Arlo, Fairla, and Vigdan, you three can hear the above conversation practically overhead, but muffled by the wooden ceiling of the room you’re in. Vigdan, your quick searching not only finds you a very big, heavy, brass key in the drawer, a sack with coinage in it200 gp, but you also manage to find on the desk papers that include Commander Vanse’s daily reports, along with orders to hold Wheelwatch at all costs, signed “Dragon Highmaster Kansaldi Fire-Eyes.” In the other drawer, you find a spell component pouch (or Fairla’s spell focus, whichever the case may be!). Arlo, this turn (Round 5), your action will consist of using that previous high roll to unlock Fairla’s jail cell, though you’re free to speak and move in your post. Fairla, Arlo’s opened your cell, you’re free to move. Lanal Brint, the Kalaman soldier who was locked in the cell with Arlo and Vigdan, moves over to the door and opens it enough to poke his head out. He reports back to the rest of you in whispered tones: “There’s a gully dwarf, a hulking dwarf, a sea elf, a human, and another dwarf out there and it looks like they’re laying the bodies of guards against the wall.” “A gully dwarf?!” Elgo veritably exclaims. “Why, that reminds me of the time that I met these gully dwarves in . . .” and off she goes, telling another story with nary an ounce of self-awareness. Round 5 Start! OOC Walls. The walls of Wheelwatch are 20 feet high, with towers and fortifications adding an additional 10 feet for each floor. Windows. The windows in these walls are 6-inch-wide arrow slits. Light. Torches provide bright light throughout the fort. Ixenkuhri. Anyone who understands draconicknows that “Ixenkuhri” means “Fire River”. Gate Controls. The north and south gates each have a mechanism to open and close that gate. “Unlocking” (actually, engaging the internal mechanism) a gate mechanism requires using two separate gate keys or succeeding on a DC 14 Dexterity (thieves’ tools) check. It takes 1 minute to fully open or close the gates using the controls. Opening a gate attracts the attention of all creatures in areas W1, W2, W3, and W4. Eves and Lines of Sight. I’m going to rule that the buildings in the courtyard (jail (west), store room (attached to and south of the jail), stables (southwest corner), and kitchen (southeast corner), all have a 5-foot overhang for rain, and you can stand as far as 10 feet from a buildings’ edge before you are seen by a soldier patrolling a wall directly over you. However, that doesn’t stop you from being seen by a soldier on any of the other three sides looking directly at you. You Are Still in Initiative. A clock has started ticking, so to speak. You have to find two keys (Vigdan has just found one), there are three bodies on the ground and blood everywhere. A patrol could begin on any one of the four walls at any time, and someone is giving something a scrub-down in the stables—who knows how long that’s going to last?

The sound of metal boots on stone echos through the torch-lit night. Suddenly, you hear human voice—now west of you—ask, “Hey, where’s that knife-ear Waesna . . . and where’s Smith, and that dwarf, and Barbedaxe?” A dwarven voice from the northwest answers, “Beats me, maybe they’re talkin’ to the captain.” “Yeah, but what’s that on the ground? An’ why are all three of them gone?” “Saunders, it’s nearly 5 bells. Maybe they’re nappin’ or playin’ cards, or somethin’,” the dwarven voice replies. “If the captain catches’em it’s on their heads.” “No, something’s amiss,” the human says, “I’m going down there to check it out. “Wait! I think I saw something over there, by the gate controls!” the dwarven voice suddenly says, “I’m coming with you.” For Coltan, you caught a glimpse of a dwarf in RDAS uniform armor coming from the northwest tower before he left your line of sight—the stables (directly to your west) are in the way). However, because you can see him, he can see you! Coltan throws himself up against the wall to hide, but obviously it’s too late. “No, warn Lurden, if someone’s after the gate key, he needs to be ready,” the human replies. “If it’s nothin’, then it’s no big deal, but be ready to blow the horn if I give the signal!” For Artanis, Merituuli, Modri, and Hunni, you’re up against the walls of your respective buildings, so you can’t see any of them on the wall west of you and above you, but if you were to move eastward, you’d be spotted pretty easily. You hear the dwarf’s metal booted feet scurry back to the north tower, but the door remains open—or at least, you didn’t hear it shut. In fact, you didn’t hear the south tower’s door shut, either. Jail Cells For Arlo, Fairla, and Vigdan, you three can hear the above conversation practically overhead, but muffled by the wooden ceiling of the room you’re in. Vigdan, your quick searching not only finds you a very big, heavy, brass key in the drawer, a sack with coinage in it200 gp, but you also manage to find on the desk papers that include Commander Vanse’s daily reports, along with orders to hold Wheelwatch at all costs, signed “Dragon Highmaster Kansaldi Fire-Eyes.” In the other drawer, you find a spell component pouch (or Fairla’s spell focus, whichever the case may be!). Arlo, this turn (Round 5), your action will consist of using that previous high roll to unlock Fairla’s jail cell, though you’re free to speak and move in your post. Fairla, Arlo’s opened your cell, you’re free to move. Lanal Brint, the Kalaman soldier who was locked in the cell with Arlo and Vigdan, moves over to the door and opens it enough to poke his head out. He reports back to the rest of you in whispered tones: “There’s a gully dwarf, a hulking dwarf, a sea elf, a human, and another dwarf out there and it looks like they’re laying the bodies of guards against the wall.” “A gully dwarf?!” Elgo veritably exclaims. “Why, that reminds me of the time that I met these gully dwarves in . . .” and off she goes, telling another story with nary an ounce of self-awareness.
