Well laid plans

[KoboldDM]

Eizan and Robbert have the rest of the day to look around (Please state any special actions you wish to take in that time.) They both rest again when Fredrick and Ishino wake up, the two quickly being filled in of the goings on while they were asleep.

Ishino

Ishino groans as he gets filled in on events that occurred whilst he was sleeping, though whether it's because of the events in question or because his head is now filled with extra information is unclear. Turning to Fredrick, he asks "Do you know any way to show the man the memories of someone else's perspective of his... Cleaning?"

Fredrick seems to be in somewhat of a daze, only that the perception of time that has actually passed compared to what he went through in his dream state. Simply observing everyone's interaction, until he can come to his own conclusion is probably best.

"I will say, I am curious to what extent you are skilled with Alchemy?" he asks the new person, "And what is this about eating the plates and silverware?"

[KoboldDM]

When Peter is met by the group again he has been looking around and found his way back to the hidden area, seeming to enjoy it since there was a lab there. He didn't seem to recognize most of the equipment but what he did know is it could be used. However guards report he has not touched anything for fear of angering the lords and lady of the keep.
"Oh I am a practiced alchemist, I can make just about anything though I wouldn't say I'm anything special. I could demonstrate if you'd allow me to use your equipment and supplies Sir Fredrick." He is very respectful of each member and eager to be put to use. When asked about the plates. "I am afraid I do not understand your humor here. I have come to discover I am far from home, your guards men said I could wash plates and then accused me of eating them." He explains and the guard is quick to put in that he did indeed eat every plate and produce something else. Peter seems a bit crestfallen at this and slumps "Please, I am sure this is a grand joke for those who understand it but it has gotten old. Can we move on from it?" He practically pleads.

Peter was very happy to hear he was able to demonstrate his main skill set. Hoping to gain employment and a way back to his home if that was possible but mostly he just liked being of use. "I assure you sir I am quite safe in my practices. Lets see, something that will be a good demonstration and cause no harm..." He paused to think this over wanting to prove himself. "Oh I have just the thing, I'll make a batch of holy water. Non harmful to anyone but the undead." he said and once that was settled he smiled ready to get to work however the smile faded fast. His eyes glazed over and he stood start still and upright. His mouth dropped open as his jaw went slack. Hands reached for his shirt to pull it over his head and hold it to his side.

Staring blankly at nothing Peter stood there motionless for a moment, then starting at his jaw and moving down his neck a crack like he was made of clay started to appear. It continued to flow down his body quickly as if he was going to shatter and fall apart. Ending at his stomach the crack grew then and widened into a gaping maw of teeth that swirled around gnashing and rubbing against each other, the hole in his chest seemed to go on forever into a deep void. Tentacles slithered out from that maw and began flail around moving quickly to grab vials, plants, bits of stone, each item pulled back into the mouth to vanish down that void. More tentacles rushed out and started to stretch toward the party.

(Everyone gets one round to react. Order doesn't matter.)

Maybe it was the sheer shock of seeing something so unnatural or the thousands of questions that flooded his mind as he watched Badingrew's monstrous features. In an n expressionless response, Fredrick says, "May I ask, what you intend to test it on, so we know it works?"

As he observes, he asks another question, "Also are you using divine magic, or did you find another method of creating it?"

Gambits (Ex)

A hidden blade is a cunning warrior who seizes opportunities as they present themselves to put his enemies in untenable positions. At 1st level, a hidden blade selects two gambits from the gambits available to warlords, or the hidden blade gambits listed below. At 4th level and every four levels thereafter, a hidden blade selects an additional gambit to learn. Any gambit that would normally use the hidden blade’s Charisma modifier to determine its effects instead uses her hidden blade initiation modifier. These gambits allow the hidden blade to recover maneuvers. Due to their reliance on the stresses of combat to bring out the best of the hidden blade, gambits cannot be used outside combat.

A gambit has two aspects: a risk and a reward. A gambit’s risk describes an action the hidden blade must take in order to play the gambit. The hidden blade begin a gambit as a swift action, then performs the gambit’s risk action. She may add her hidden blade initiation modifier as a luck bonus on any d20 rolls made while performing this action (such as the Acrobatics check of an acrobatic gambit, or the attack roll of a brave gambit). The hidden blade only gets this bonus if she used a swift action to begin the gambit; if taking the actions normally, she gains no additional benefits. If the hidden blade initiates a maneuver as part of a gambit, she cannot recover that maneuver when the gambit is completed (even if it’s her only expended maneuver).

If the hidden blade succeeds at her gambit’s risk, she recovers a number of expended maneuvers equal to her hidden blade initiation modifier (minimum 2) and gains the reward listed in the gambit’s description. Allies who would gain a benefit from the gambit’s reward must be within 60 feet of the hidden blade and able to see her perform the gambit’s risk

If the hidden blade fails her gambit (such as missing the charge attack of a brave gambit, or failing the saving throw of an unbreakable gambit), she suffers the gambit’s rake, recovering only a single expended maneuver and taking a –2 penalty on all d20 rolls for one round.

Initiation Modifier: 4
Coward's Gabmit Risk: The hidden blade attacks a flat-footed opponent or an opponent she is flanking.
Reward: The hidden blade’s allies gain a bonus on damage rolls against that opponent equal to the hidden blade’s initiation modifier for one round.
Flanker's Gambit Risk: The hidden blade attacks an opponent adjacent to one of the hidden blade’s other allies.
Reward: The hidden blade is considered to be flanking that opponent until the end of her next turn, even if the hidden blade is not in a position that would allow her to flank them.
Stealth Gambit (Su) Risk: The hidden blade makes a Stealth check to hide.
Reward: The hidden blade becomes invisible for a number of rounds equal to her initiation modifier, as if under the effect of an invisibility spell.
Acrobatic Gambit Risk: The hidden blade makes an Acrobatics check to move through a creature’s threatened area without provoking attacks of opportunity.

"It is ok. It is ok. Peter is . . . special. He . . . it . . . they mean no harm!" Eizan insists to Ishino. She understands what it looks like and she herself is pretty shocked at the sudden transformation - after all, he hadn't done that in front of her with the plates. But as long as Peter wasn't attack them, they would be fine . . . wouldn't they?

Robbert spent his afternoon down in "The Final Plan" looking at the strange language trying to understand it, buoyed by his new investigative prowess he made some work at it. After his comrades awoke a runner was sent to pull him from the depths where he'd been holed up with several notebooks copying down symbols.

"No tentacles!" he objected strenuously, backing away from Peter's grasping tentacles. "I'm not that kind of Sylv!"

[KoboldDM]

Robbert is able to decrypt some of the language though it is difficult and partially guess work. The cabinets each house various things that he has decided note experiments. No real messages anywhere explaining what the experiments were like these creatures don't use books to note things down in. Each experiment is given a number and marked with one of two runes that Robbert has figured out means failure, or success. Another set of runes all come to the same meaning of "NA" The vials that are set out with the large metal needles all have success written upon them, enhancement, NA, and Final Plan.

Fredrick Is able to notice with his keen eyes that no magic is taking place of anything he knows about, it is beyond his scope, what is happening however is items totaling up to the price it would take to make ten doses of holy water are being devoured. The items are indiscriminate for size or what they are made of but what ever looks to be the most expensive is what the tentacles reach for first.

 

The party is able to keep back from the tentacles easily enough and as long as they don't engage with them they leave them along besides trying to get at anything that would be easy to snatch. Once the price of the holy water has been accounted for in items the other tentacles retract and one lone one comes out attaches to the floor and slowly rises to reveal one vial of holy water at a time till two rows of five vials are placed on the floor in front of Peter. The final tentacle retracts, the mouth closes and vanishes as if it had never existed, peter wordlessly dresses again and then snaps out of it like he hadn't done anything strange. Wiping his brow and smiling. "There you have it, holy water cooked up, ready to use for what ever ceremony you like, and lab all cleaned up. I know it took me a bit but you can't rush the process. Do I pass?" He asked believing fully in his mind that he went through all the steps of boiling, adding ingredients, putting into vials, and cleaning up after himself, in his mind several hours have passed instead of 6 seconds.

Fredrick seems to stand there wondering WTF he just witnessed again. In the back of his mind, he wondered if this was some strange experiment run wild that the mind flayers were dealing with, and he won the battle of wills.

"Um, do you mind me asking.. DO you know what you're doing when this is all happening? Because I mean tentacles!" he says. "I don't think you're a bad guy, but we had just dealt with mind flayers and they like to eat people's brains and stuff."

"What is it you hope to achieve, now that you're here?" he asks politely.

At 1st level, a hidden blade selects two gambits from the gambits available to warlords, or the hidden blade gambits listed below. At 4th level and every four levels thereafter, a hidden blade selects an additional gambit to learn. Any gambit that would normally use the hidden blade’s Charisma modifier to determine its effects instead uses her hidden blade initiation modifier. These gambits allow the hidden blade to recover maneuvers. Due to their reliance on the stresses of combat to bring out the best of the hidden blade, gambits cannot be used outside combat. A gambit has two aspects: a risk and a reward. A gambit’s risk describes an action the hidden blade must take in order to play the gambit. The hidden blade begin a gambit as a swift action, then performs the gambit’s risk action. She may add her hidden blade initiation modifier as a luck bonus on any d20 rolls made while performing this action (such as the Acrobatics check of an acrobatic gambit, or the attack roll of a brave gambit). The hidden blade only gets this bonus if she used a swift action to begin the gambit; if taking the actions normally, she gains no additional benefits. If the hidden blade initiates a maneuver as part of a gambit, she cannot recover that maneuver when the gambit is completed (even if it’s her only expended maneuver). If the hidden blade succeeds at her gambit’s risk, she recovers a number of expended maneuvers equal to her hidden blade initiation modifier (minimum 2) and gains the reward listed in the gambit’s description. Allies who would gain a benefit from the gambit’s reward must be within 60 feet of the hidden blade and able to see her perform the gambit’s risk If the hidden blade fails her gambit (such as missing the charge attack of a brave gambit, or failing the saving throw of an unbreakable gambit), she suffers the gambit’s rake, recovering only a single expended maneuver and taking a –2 penalty on all d20 rolls for one round.[/spoiler] [B]Initiation Modifier:[/B] 4 [ooc="Coward's Gabmit"][B]Risk:[/B] The hidden blade attacks a flat-footed opponent or an opponent she is flanking.

Gambits (Ex)

 

Gambits (Ex)

A hidden blade is a cunning warrior who seizes opportunities as they present themselves to put his enemies in untenable positions. At 1st level, a hidden blade selects two gambits from the gambits available to warlords, or the hidden blade gambits listed below. At 4th level and every four levels thereafter, a hidden blade selects an additional gambit to learn. Any gambit that would normally use the hidden blade’s Charisma modifier to determine its effects instead uses her hidden blade initiation modifier. These gambits allow the hidden blade to recover maneuvers. Due to their reliance on the stresses of combat to bring out the best of the hidden blade, gambits cannot be used outside combat.

A gambit has two aspects: a risk and a reward. A gambit’s risk describes an action the hidden blade must take in order to play the gambit. The hidden blade begin a gambit as a swift action, then performs the gambit’s risk action. She may add her hidden blade initiation modifier as a luck bonus on any d20 rolls made while performing this action (such as the Acrobatics check of an acrobatic gambit, or the attack roll of a brave gambit). The hidden blade only gets this bonus if she used a swift action to begin the gambit; if taking the actions normally, she gains no additional benefits. If the hidden blade initiates a maneuver as part of a gambit, she cannot recover that maneuver when the gambit is completed (even if it’s her only expended maneuver).

If the hidden blade succeeds at her gambit’s risk, she recovers a number of expended maneuvers equal to her hidden blade initiation modifier (minimum 2) and gains the reward listed in the gambit’s description. Allies who would gain a benefit from the gambit’s reward must be within 60 feet of the hidden blade and able to see her perform the gambit’s risk

If the hidden blade fails her gambit (such as missing the charge attack of a brave gambit, or failing the saving throw of an unbreakable gambit), she suffers the gambit’s rake, recovering only a single expended maneuver and taking a –2 penalty on all d20 rolls for one round.

Initiation Modifier: 4
Coward's Gabmit Risk: The hidden blade attacks a flat-footed opponent or an opponent she is flanking.
Reward: The hidden blade’s allies gain a bonus on damage rolls against that opponent equal to the hidden blade’s initiation modifier for one round.
Flanker's Gambit Risk: The hidden blade attacks an opponent adjacent to one of the hidden blade’s other allies.
Reward: The hidden blade is considered to be flanking that opponent until the end of her next turn, even if the hidden blade is not in a position that would allow her to flank them.
Stealth Gambit (Su) Risk: The hidden blade makes a Stealth check to hide.
Reward: The hidden blade becomes invisible for a number of rounds equal to her initiation modifier, as if under the effect of an invisibility spell.
Acrobatic Gambit Risk: The hidden blade makes an Acrobatics check to move through a creature’s threatened area without provoking attacks of opportunity.
Reward: The hidden blade and each of his allies gains a morale bonus equal to the warlord’s initiation modifier on the damage roll of the next attack they make against that creature before the start of the warlord’s next turn.

EIZAN

"Ah! Ah! Peter, make me a cure light wounds potions. With haste! Fredrick will see your glorious work once more," Eizan barks, flailing her arms to distract the man from the inquiry Fredrick just made. She then throws about 50 gold coins on the floor before turning to her companions.

Certain Peter is unaware of his surroundings while performing 'alchemy', Eizan speaks plainly about her concerns to her fellows, "Peter is nice, but Peter is not brain-good. He is like diseased dog playing fetch. We like him, but if he is distracted from being a good boy he might eat someone! Maybe he is cursed. We find him cure, but until then we keep him happy and away from people."

Fredrick says, "He certainly works much faster than I could ever..." As he paces about, "In my downtime I learned to use bombs, and especially one useful against the possible tree creature. I have also learned that we can have some flasks made to do a lesser effect, but still useful to us as a group. Either he, or I can craft it, but if we are making it ourselves, would it not be a third the cost in materials?" Looking over at Eizan who just threw down 50 gold, "I guess that could be 3 potions worth."

He pulls everyone aside, and whispers to the group, "Hey, maybe if he is infected with something, we can have him brew a potion for that and drink it himself?"

Gambits (Ex)

 

Gambits (Ex)

A hidden blade is a cunning warrior who seizes opportunities as they present themselves to put his enemies in untenable positions. At 1st level, a hidden blade selects two gambits from the gambits available to warlords, or the hidden blade gambits listed below. At 4th level and every four levels thereafter, a hidden blade selects an additional gambit to learn. Any gambit that would normally use the hidden blade’s Charisma modifier to determine its effects instead uses her hidden blade initiation modifier. These gambits allow the hidden blade to recover maneuvers. Due to their reliance on the stresses of combat to bring out the best of the hidden blade, gambits cannot be used outside combat.

A gambit has two aspects: a risk and a reward. A gambit’s risk describes an action the hidden blade must take in order to play the gambit. The hidden blade begin a gambit as a swift action, then performs the gambit’s risk action. She may add her hidden blade initiation modifier as a luck bonus on any d20 rolls made while performing this action (such as the Acrobatics check of an acrobatic gambit, or the attack roll of a brave gambit). The hidden blade only gets this bonus if she used a swift action to begin the gambit; if taking the actions normally, she gains no additional benefits. If the hidden blade initiates a maneuver as part of a gambit, she cannot recover that maneuver when the gambit is completed (even if it’s her only expended maneuver).

If the hidden blade succeeds at her gambit’s risk, she recovers a number of expended maneuvers equal to her hidden blade initiation modifier (minimum 2) and gains the reward listed in the gambit’s description. Allies who would gain a benefit from the gambit’s reward must be within 60 feet of the hidden blade and able to see her perform the gambit’s risk

If the hidden blade fails her gambit (such as missing the charge attack of a brave gambit, or failing the saving throw of an unbreakable gambit), she suffers the gambit’s rake, recovering only a single expended maneuver and taking a –2 penalty on all d20 rolls for one round.

Initiation Modifier: 4
Coward's Gabmit Risk: The hidden blade attacks a flat-footed opponent or an opponent she is flanking.
Reward: The hidden blade’s allies gain a bonus on damage rolls against that opponent equal to the hidden blade’s initiation modifier for one round.
Flanker's Gambit Risk: The hidden blade attacks an opponent adjacent to one of the hidden blade’s other allies.
Reward: The hidden blade is considered to be flanking that opponent until the end of her next turn, even if the hidden blade is not in a position that would allow her to flank them.
Stealth Gambit (Su) Risk: The hidden blade makes a Stealth check to hide.
Reward: The hidden blade becomes invisible for a number of rounds equal to her initiation modifier, as if under the effect of an invisibility spell.
Acrobatic Gambit Risk: The hidden blade makes an Acrobatics check to move through a creature’s threatened area without provoking attacks of opportunity.
Reward: The hidden blade and each of his allies gains a morale bonus equal to the warlord’s initiation modifier on the damage roll of the next attack they make against that creature before the start of the warlord’s next turn.
