presently… Prologue — A Moral Bargain

[Rakle]

Iolana Variu

Stowing her scythe, Io turns to the cafe woman that followed Daergrim. "Can you watch the entrance to the warehouse, and holler if anyone approaches the warehouse? If someone pulls up that ladder, we are in trouble."

Then Io will wait her turn to descend the ladder.

Abandoned Warehouse

"You got it." The woman didn't seem to be fond of using too many words. Still, she got her point across.

Turning to face the door, she stood guard there quietly as suggested.

 

One after another you climb down the ladder into the dim, somewhat dank basement of the small warehouse.

 

Below, there's some more crates and barrels, but these look to bear indication of recent use, if only as improvised seats and low tables, judging from some empty tankards and a couple of candles scattered nearby, the latter long since burnt out.

 

Moving to indicate a couple of cages, the child calls out to you, "Here! Here!"

 

The sound of her approach rouses the caged children, one of them regarding her as he grips the bars from inside, "Cres!"

 

Daergrim and Nera Only

Something on the southern wall of this basement chamber looks off… As though some of the stone along a small length of the wall has some suspicious gaps or something…

Brucilde moves forward a bit, looking around for any indication of why these kids are caged as she does.

Daergrim Thurdain Male, Dwarf Class: Warpriest of Angradd | Level: 1 Str: 16 | Dex: 12 | Con: 15 | Int: 10 | Wis: 16 | Cha: 8 HP: 14/14 | Speed: 20 | Init: +3 AC: 20 | Touch: 11 | Flat-footed: 19 CMD: 14 | FCMD: 13 Fort: 4 | Ref: 1 | Will: 5 Weapons Dwarven Waraxe (masterwork, cold-iron): +5+3 Strength Modifier +1 Weapon Focus +1 Masterwork (1d10+3+3 Strength Modifier, x3) Warhammer (cold-iron): +3+3 Strength Modifier (1d8+3+3 Strength Modifier, x3) Short Sword (silver): +3+3 Strength Modifier (1d6+2+3 Strength Modifier -1 Silver, 19-20/x2) Situational Modifiers   Defensive TrainingDwarves gain a +4 dodge bonus to AC against monsters of the giant subtype.  | GreedDwarves gain a +2 racial bonus on Appraise checks made to determine the price of non-magical goods that contain precious metals or gemstones.  | HardyDwarves gain a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against poison, spells, and spell-like abilities. | HatredDwarves gain a +1 racial bonus on attack rolls against humanoid creatures of the orc and goblinoid subtypes because of their special training against these hated foes. | StabilityDwarves gain a +4 racial bonus to their Combat Maneuver Defense when resisting a bull rush or trip attempt while standing on the ground. | Stolen FuryYou were forced to take part in a demonic ritual as a youth after being captured by cultists. Whatever the ritual’s purpose might have been, it didn’t work out the way your captors envisioned— rather than losing your soul, you absorbed the ritual’s energy and made it your own before you escaped to safety. Benefit When you face demons in combat, those energies bolster your fury, granting you a +2 trait bonus on all combat maneuver (CMB) checks against demons. | StonecunningDwarves gain a +2 bonus on Perception checks to notice unusual stonework, such as traps and hidden doors located in stone walls or floors. They receive a check to notice such features whenever they pass within 10 feet of them, whether or not they are actively looking. Bonus Types The important aspect of bonus types is that two bonuses of the same type don’t generally stack. With the exception of dodge bonuses, most circumstance bonuses, and racial bonuses, only the better bonus of a given type works. Bonuses without a type always stack, unless they are from the same source. Alchemical:An alchemical bonus is granted by the use of a non-magical, alchemical substance such as antitoxin. --- | Armor:An armor bonus applies to armor class and is granted by armor or by a spell or magical effect that mimics armor. Armor bonuses stack with all other bonuses to armor class (even with natural armor bonuses) except other armor bonuses. An armor bonus doesn’t apply against touch attacks, except for armor bonuses granted by force effects (such as the mage armor spell) which apply against incorporeal touch attacks, such as that of a shadow. +7Banded Mail Armor | BAB:This number is a modifier added to your attack rolls. A higher number means you’re better at combat. +0 | Circumstance:A circumstance bonus (or penalty) arises from specific conditional factors impacting the success of the task at hand. Circumstance bonuses stack with all other bonuses, including other circumstance bonuses, unless they arise from essentially the same source. --- | Competence:A competence bonus (or penalty) affects a character’s performance of a particular task, as in the case of the bardic ability to inspire competence. Multiple competence bonuses don’t stack; only the highest bonus applies. --- Deflection:A deflection bonus affects armor class and is granted by a spell or magic effect that makes attacks veer off harmlessly. Deflection bonuses stack with all other bonuses to AC except other deflection bonuses. A deflection bonus applies against touch attacks. --- | Dodge:A dodge bonus improves armor class (and sometimes Reflex saves) resulting from physical skill at avoiding blows and other ill effects. Dodge bonuses are never 1 usually not granted by spells or magic items. Any situation or effect (except wearing armor) that negates a character’s Dexterity bonus also negates any dodge bonuses the character may have. Dodge bonuses stack with all other bonuses to AC, even other dodge bonuses. Dodge bonuses apply against touch attacks. --- | Enhancement:An enhancement bonus represents an increase in the sturdiness and/or effectiveness of armor or natural armor, or the effectiveness of a weapon, or a general bonus to an ability score. Multiple enhancement bonuses on the same object (in the case of armor and weapons), creature (in the case of natural armor), or ability score do not stack. Only the highest enhancement bonus applies. Since enhancement bonuses to armor or natural armor effectively increase the armor or natural armor’s bonus to AC, they don’t apply against touch attacks. --- | Inherent:Content... --- | Insight:An insight bonus improves performance of a given activity by granting the character an almost precognitive knowledge of what might occur. Multiple insight bonuses on the same character or object do not stack. Only the highest insight bonus applies. --- Luck:A luck bonus represents good (or bad) fortune. Multiple luck bonuses on the same character or object do not stack. Only the highest luck bonus applies. --- | Morale:A morale bonus represents the effects of greater hope, courage, and determination (or hopelessness, cowardice, and despair in the case of a morale penalty). Multiple morale bonuses on the same character do not stack. Only the highest morale bonus applies. Non-intelligent creatures (creatures with an Intelligence of 0 or no Intelligence at all) cannot benefit from morale bonuses. --- | Natural Armor:A natural armor bonus improves armor class resulting from a creature’s naturally tough hide. Natural armor bonuses stack with all other bonuses to armor class (even with armor bonuses) except other natural armor bonuses. Some magical effects (such as the barkskin spell) grant an enhancement bonus to the creature’s existing natural armor bonus, which has the effect of increasing the natural armor’s overall bonus to armor class. A natural armor bonus doesn’t apply against touch attacks. --- | Profane:A profane bonus (or penalty) stems from the power of evil. Multiple profane bonuses on the same character or object do not stack. Only the highest profane bonus applies. --- | Racial:A racial bonus comes from the culture a particular creature was brought up in or because of innate characteristics of that type of creature. If a creature’s race changes (for instance, if it dies and is reincarnated), it loses all racial bonuses it had in its previous form. VariousSee Situational Modifiers Resistance:A resistance bonus affects saving throws, providing extra protection against harm. Multiple resistance bonuses on the same character or object do not stack. Only the highest resistance bonus applies. --- | Sacred:A sacred bonus (or penalty) stems from the power of good. Multiple sacred bonuses on the same character or object do not stack. Only the highest sacred bonus applies. --- | Shield:A shield bonus improves armor class and is granted by a shield or by a spell or magic effect that mimics a shield. Shield bonuses stack with all other bonuses to AC except other shield bonuses. A magic shield typically grants an enhancement bonus to the shield’s shield bonus, which has the effect of increasing the shield’s overall bonus to AC. A shield bonus granted by a spell or magic item typically takes the form of an invisible, tangible field of force that protects the recipient. A shield bonus doesn’t apply against touch attacks. +2Heavy Steel Shield  | Size:A size bonus or penalty is derived from a creature’s size category. Size modifiers of different kinds apply to armor class, attack rolls, Stealth checks, combat maneuver checks, and various other checks. --- | Trait:A trait bonus is a bonus granted via a character trait. Character traits are an optional additional character defining feature like feats but less powerful (typically about half as strong as a feat.) As with other named bonuses, trait bonuses do not “stack” with other trait bonuses. VariousSee Situational Modifiers Condition(s): None

Features | Prepared Spells Warpriest Blessings: 4/4 [DC: 14] Holy Strike (Good)At 1st level, you can touch one weapon and bless it with the power of purity and goodness. For 1 minute, this weapon glows green, white, or yellow-gold and deals an additional 1d6 points of damage against evil creatures. During this time, it’s treated as good for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction. This additional damage doesn’t stack with the additional damage from the holy weapon special ability. | War Mind (War)At 1st level, you can touch an ally and grant it a tactical advantage for 1 minute. At the start of its turn each round, it can select one of the following bonuses: +10 feet to base land speed, +1 dodge bonus to AC, +1 insight bonus on attack rolls, or a +1 luck bonus on saving throws. Each bonus selected lasts for 1 round. Sacred Weapon:At 1st level, weapons wielded by a warpriest are charged with the power of his faith. In addition to the favored weapon of his deity, the warpriest can designate a weapon as a sacred weapon by selecting that weapon with the Weapon Focus feat; if he has multiple Weapon Focus feats, this ability applies to all of them. Whenever the warpriest hits with his sacred weapon, the weapon damage is based on his level and not the weapon type. The damage for Medium warpriests is listed on Table 1–14; see the table below for Small and Large warpriests. The warpriest can decide to use the weapon’s base damage instead of the sacred weapon damage—this must be declared before the attack roll is made. (If the weapon’s base damage exceeds the sacred weapon damage, its damage is unchanged.) This increase in damage does not affect any other aspect of the weapon, and doesn’t apply to alchemical items, bombs, or other weapons that only deal energy damage. At 4th level, the warpriest gains the ability to enhance one of his sacred weapons with divine power as a swift action. This power grants the weapon a +1 enhancement bonus. For every 4 levels beyond 4th, this bonus increases by 1 (to a maximum of +5 at 20th level). If the warpriest has more than one sacred weapon, he can enhance another on the following round by using another swift action. The warpriest can use this ability a number of rounds per day equal to his warpriest level, but these rounds need not be consecutive. These bonuses stack with any existing bonuses the weapon might have, to a maximum of +5. The warpriest can enhance a weapon with any of the following weapon special abilities: brilliant energy, defending, disruption, flaming, frost, keen, and shock. In addition, if the warpriest is chaotic, he can add anarchic and vicious. If he is evil, he can add mighty cleaving and unholy. If he is good, he can add ghost touch and holy. If he is lawful, he can add axiomatic and merciful. If he is neutral (with no other alignment components), he can add spell storing and thundering. Adding any of these special abilities replaces an amount of bonus equal to the special ability’s base cost. Duplicate abilities do not stack. The weapon must have at least a +1 enhancement bonus before any other special abilities can be added. If multiple weapons are enhanced, each one consumes rounds of use individually. The enhancement bonus and special abilities are determined the first time the ability is used each day, and cannot be changed until the next day. These bonuses do not apply if another creature is wielding the weapon, but they continue to be in effect if the weapon otherwise leaves the warpriest’s possession (such as if the weapon is thrown). This ability can be ended as a free action at the start of the warpriest’s turn (that round does not count against the total duration, unless the ability is resumed during the same round). If the warpriest uses this ability on a double weapon, the effects apply to only one end of the weapon. Axes [Base Damage]   Spells Prepared (CL: 1) Orisons [DC: 13] 1st Level [DC: 14] 2nd Level [DC: 15] 3rd Level [DC: 16] 4th Level [DC: 17] 5th Level [DC: 18] 6th level [DC: 19] Detect Magic Bless X X X X X Guidance Shield of Faith X X X X X Resistance X X X X X X Spontaneous CastingThe warpriest can expend any prepared spell that isn’t an orison to cast any cure spell of the same spell level or lower. A cure spell is any spell with “cure” in its name.

Teza looked back at the woman standing guard at the warehouse before following the others down. "Your name? In case we need you." After getting a response she climbed down the ladder her nose wrinkling at the damp moldy smell. So much of this plane smelled like that, something that she had never really gotten used to. It was a kind of living smell, musty but in a way that followed no matter where you went. It had none of the prickle or stasis she remembered in faded memories.

She got off the ladder, scanning the room methodically for the sources of the auras she had seen earlier, re-applying the spell as needed. She looked over at the bouncer, wanting to ask her to check as well but also wanting to keep her secret for her. "Brucilde? I can... tell you if I see more auras."

Gareth Kindly - Half-Elf Inquisitor 1 HP: 10/10 | AC: 16/12/14 | Speed: 30/20ft | Hero: 1/3 | Spells: 0Detect Magic Guidance Light Read Magic 1Protection from Evil (From Touched by Divinity Trait) 1 Standard Action Range : Touch 1min/level +2 deflection bonus to AC and a +2 resistance bonus on saves. Both these bonuses apply against attacks made or effects created by evil creatures. Immediately receives another saving throw (if one was allowed to begin with) against any spells or effects that possess or exercise mental control over the creature (including enchantment [charm] effects and enchantment [compulsion] effects, such as charm person, command, and dominate person). This saving throw is made with a +2 morale bonus, using the same DC as the original effect. If successful, such effects are suppressed for the duration of this spell. The effects resume when the duration of this spell expires. While under the effects of this spell, the target is immune to any new attempts to possess or exercise mental control over the target. The spell prevents bodily contact by evil summoned creatures. This causes the natural weapon attacks of such creatures to fail and the creatures to recoil if such attacks require touching the warded creature. Summoned creatures that are not evil are immune to this effect. The protection against contact by summoned creatures ends if the warded creature makes an attack against or tries to force the barrier against the blocked creature. Spell resistance can allow a creature to overcome this protection and touch the warded creature. 1Level 1 Inquisitor Spell Slot 1Level 1 Inquisitor Spell Slot 2Alter Self (Limited to Elf, Drow, Human) From Flexible Half-Breed Racial Ability Polymorph Personal 1 min/level When you cast this spell, you can assume the form of any Small or Medium creature of the humanoid type. If the form you assume has any of the following abilities, you gain the listed ability: darkvision 60 feet, low-light vision, scent, and swim 30 feet. Medium creature: If the form you take is that of a Medium humanoid, you gain a +2 size bonus to your Strength. Drow Form Gains: -Darkvision 60' -+2 Strength Initiative: +2 | Perception: +8 | Fort: +3 | Ref: +3 | Will: +4 Disappear: 5/5You can become invisible as per the spell as a standard action. The invisibility lasts for 1 round per inquisitor level or until you attack. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier. If a check is required, a stationary invisible creature has a +40 bonus on its Stealth checks. This bonus is reduced to +20 if the creature is moving. The spell ends if the subject attacks any creature. For purposes of this spell, an attack includes any spell targeting a foe or whose area or effect includes a foe. Exactly who is a foe depends on the invisible character's perceptions. Actions directed at unattended objects do not break the spell. Causing harm indirectly is not an attack. Thus, an invisible being can open doors, talk, eat, climb stairs, summon monsters and have them attack, cut the ropes holding a rope bridge while enemies are on the bridge, remotely trigger traps, open a portcullis to release attack dogs, and so forth. If the subject attacks directly, however, it immediately becomes visible along with all its gear. Spells such as bless that specifically affect allies but not foes are not attacks for this purpose, even when they include foes in their area. | Studied Target: UrchinA slayer can study an opponent he can see as a move action. The slayer then gains a +1 bonus on Bluff, Knowledge, Perception, Sense Motive, and Survival checks attempted against that opponent, and a +1 bonus on weapon attack and damage rolls against it. The DCs of slayer class abilities against that opponent increase by 1. A slayer can only maintain these bonuses against one opponent at a time; these bonuses remain in effect until either the opponent is dead or the slayer studies a new target. If a slayer deals sneak attack damage to a target, he can study that target as an immediate action, allowing him to apply his studied target bonuses against that target (including to the normal weapon damage roll). At 5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th levels, the bonuses on weapon attack and damage rolls, as well as the bonus to slayer ability DCs against a studied target increase by 1. In addition, at each such interval, the slayer is able to maintain these bonuses against an additional studied target at the same time. The slayer may discard this connection to a studied target as a free action, allowing him to study another target in its place. At 7th level, a slayer can study an opponent as a move or swift action.

Gareth moves to the caged children in desperate need of liberation. He crouches down to examine the lock, ruing the fact that he didn't take a fine set of lockpicks when he left his chapterhouse of Milani. To be caught without them at such a time... He's drawn to pull out the Breaker of Chains' other tool, his morningstar, to rush the lock, but he resists the urge. Too noisy, too messy. He whispers to the children, taking a look at them, "Wait, quietly. We will have you out soon." In his matter-of-fact tone.

"Be careful, there's something strange with that wall," Nera warned Daergrim (and the others). She moved so she could investigate while trying to stay out of direct sight from the holes, just in case. She went to stand next to one and carefully heard and if no sound, looked inside.

Iolana Variu

After thanking the woman, Io hands climbs down the ladder into the basement. Retrieving her scythe, she joins Teza and Brucilde by the summoning circle.

"It does look like blood." Io thinks to herself. She looks at it more carefully without touching it or the circle.

Abandoned Warehouse

"My dad calls me Natali." Comes the response from upstairs.

 

Daergrim and Nera Only

The way some of the stones are laid, in addition to the small gaps between some of them betray the fact that there is a hidden door here.

Iolana Only

With a little difficulty, you determine that whatever had made these smears on the floor, indeed is blood.

Gareth Only

As you go check the lock on the cage, you suddenly realize that it's not actually even locked.

Brucilde and Teza Only

You're not sure how you could've missed this, but you just now realized that one of those faint magical auras is coming off of the girl.

 

The others are coming closer. But how? There's nothing but wall toward the south.

 

The faint aura coming off the girl is an illusion, the other auras you can perceive now are a faint conjuration and a faint conjuration. There's something else there? Maybe? But you're not getting a pinpoint on it.

 

"Cres! Who are all these people?" One child whispers with an anxious excitedness.

 

The messenger child looks towards you, then back toward the others in the cage, "It's okay. They're here to help us."

Brucilde

Brucilde looks to the south, "Something coming that way. Through wall?!" then shifts her focus to the circle on the floor. "What this accomplish?" she mutters

Weird Building

Teza's gaze shifted from the auras approaching the wall and then back to the girl. Her eyes narrowed, and she started a rhythmic almost chant, just loud enough for the others in the room to hear.

One escaped and ran so far
Teahouse bound but why
Cres insists was in a rush
Her four friends might die

Nessa, Thim, Bondy, Yenni
Names she knew so well
Trapped in cages down below
The story she did tell

So Seven followed, some by force
Heeding a child's plea
Six below and One above
The children they would free

Yet Cres spoke half if not full lies
Her aura glowing bright
Four more auras approach us now
I fear they wish to fight
 

She shifted her focus to where she saw the approaching four approaching auras, drawing her sword as she did so, trusting Brucilde to protect her if Cres reacted to her speech.
 

Mechanics

Move: Draw sword Standard: Bardic Performance: DistractionDistraction (Su): At 1st level, a bard can use his performance to counter magic effects that depend on sight. Each round of the distraction, he makes a Perform (act, comedy, dance, or oratory) skill check. Any creature within 30 feet of the bard (including the bard himself) that is affected by an illusion (pattern) or illusion (figment) magical attack may use the bard's Perform check result in place of its saving throw if, after the saving throw is rolled, the Perform skill check proves to be higher. If a creature within range of the distraction is already under the effect of a noninstantaneous illusion (pattern) or illusion (figment) magical attack, it gains another saving throw against the effect each round it sees the distraction, but it must use the bard's Perform skill check result for the save. Distraction does not work on effects that don't allow saves. Distraction relies on visual components. Free:

"Concealed door over here," Nera said as she started looking for a mechanism to unlock. Then she noticed that one of the others is chanting something and drawing a weapon, so she looked around to see where the danger was coming from.
