    Pathfinder PbP- Way of the Wicked- Knot of Thorns

    Alrighty, we tried guys, but this looks like it's died a death. I guess this just isn't the game for a group of new PbP players. But that doesn't mean this is the end for WoTW. I'm going to try to start this game up again from the beginning, with a smaller group and probably over chat. Any of you who played here are more then welcome to join in again. PM me if you have any interest. Thanks much!

"Doubtless that's the case. Dozens of demons coming. Phaw!" He stills for a second. "What about the shewitch and the hobgoblin? Were they doing anything in particular?"

The guard with you is shaking slightly, jumping at every sound. You spot the two elite guards from earlier heading into the main keep. Back in the gatehouse, Blackerly gestures for you to join him on the second level. He heads up the stairs, and your group follows. The second floor of the gatehouse is remarkably...

He begins barking out orders. "Tiemoff, Karsters!" He barks, and the two of the elite soldiers snap to attention. "Head to the barracks and rouse the second shift. There's an ogre to put down, and we've got to do it quietly and without killing him! Move out!" The two soldiers turn to march off. "Jaffers!" The lightly...

    Vigor cast on everyone! Silent Image cast! Perception (Luxgud): 17 Luxgud takes a look around. He doesn't really see many places that would be good hiding spots. He does see two though. The first is in the shadow of the fountain. He could definitely hide there, but he would be too far away to engage anyone near the gatehouse door. There's also the wooden enclosure, which is much closer, but reeks of dog.

    I'm assuming that by perception, you meant bluff. If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me. Bluff check: 23 Sense Motive: 15+10*=25 Bluff failed! *+10 for already being suspicious, and wanting to report this to his superior ASAP The guard doesn't even pause to acknowledge your call. He half-walks, half-runs into the guardhouse.

    Bluff=25 + 2 (Marcinus's aid) + 4 (Roland's Aid) = 31 Sense Motive = 17 + 10 (Bonus for being really, really suspicious) = 27 Bluff successful! The Guard frowns. "You speak sense, friend. The Warden is a bit of a hard ass. But I'm sure he's too busy stroking his owl to come down and bother us." "But still... escape. It might be worth our jobs and hides to keep the prisoners in chains. I'm going to have to check with Sargent Blackerly." The guard turns to run back into the gatehouse.

    As you all march towards the gatehouse, light falls over your group. "Hail the courtyard!" You hear from the walls. Looking up, you can see a guard standing atop the walls, holding a torch. In the torchlight, you can see him squinting at you. "What's going on? Why aren't you at your posts? And... are those prisoners?" What do you do?

    Luxgud has his sword and armor. I figured he'd thrown some rags on top of them to continue with his prisoner disguise. Didn't roll a disguise roll for him because the guard was inspecting the guards, not the prisoners. You push through the double doors, and find yourselves outside for the first time in weeks. The wind brushes your face, bringing with it the smells of salt and the sea. You are in a courtyard. Directly in front of you is a fountain, with a large statue of a heavily armed...

You find yourselves alone in the entry hall. There are two doors to your left, one on your right, and a large set of double doors before you.

"The horn would call the warden, and he'd be none too happy about Harold's state.

Highest bonus is with Zadok, who gets a +6. Dominic [SPOILER] The room seems completely barren, and unremarkable. There is also no way out but the one you came in.

The next room is plain, and looks like an ordinary guardroom. There is a small table and two chairs, but other then that, there are no furnishings.

    Dominc stares at the wooden holy symbol, fingers wiggling in arcane symbols. But there doesn't appear to be any magic coming off of the symbol. Grumblejack looks down at Ruby and smiles through his meal. It's a truly horrible sight, but of course, you've all seen worse. "Grumblejack will do that, little one. And squishing is what Grumblejack does best." He looks at the letter in his too-large hands, nods, and sticks it into his rags.
