Power pure and simple..

The Shadow was lurking through the streets of Gladius. Upon entering the Gauterix District he saw a nice target he could rob. The shadow kept tailing his victim till suddenly 3halflings stept out of an alley. Halt stranger, what are you doing here this is our hunting ground.
Rauul

05-10-07, 04:15 PM
"Hunting grounds? What are you Hunting?" the Shadow Askes as he leans against the wall watcing the 3 halflings..

Shadow is a Bard.. a Singer acually... and a killer... not a thief who robs people... just thought i should tell you this
Sjiggie

05-10-07, 07:11 PM
We known what you want, you're nothing but a common assasin who tries to pick off easy targets and let the others handle the big ones. If you really want to prove yourself then I have a target for you. Tell me if your interested and maybe we can work something out. Answers the leader of the halfling while the others take a good look at you for any suspicious movement by the shadow.
Rauul

05-10-07, 07:40 PM
Looking Offened by being called a Common anything..."I am but a humble singer... But please do tell me of this target So I may make a song about how he lived and died for the Wee folks of Gladius, Or to line your pockets with richs and wealth I care neither way"
Sjiggie

05-11-07, 08:52 AM
We have this "dealer" in exotic items coming from the Habari desert and all other places. He's been troublesome with paying us our protection money and now he has a new guard. We want to make an example if you can kill this man we'll let you got his time. Do we have a deal or not Singer
Rauul

05-11-07, 03:11 PM
"To Kill the dealer would loose your protection money.. to kill his guard would Strike fear into the heart of the dealer... to Kill both may acually make you give you the respect you deserve to get the others who refuse to pay you under control.. So Who's the target So I may write this song?" Shadow asks
Sjiggie

05-11-07, 06:04 PM
Just kill the dealer with his guard. Don't play being dumb we know your kind. Answers the halfling with a irritating voice.
Rauul

05-11-07, 07:15 PM
"So you want to Tell the rest a Story" Shadow saids "Tell me where he is and what I should be expecting with this mark.. Whats his Guard and what is the Guys profession.. And you will have your Song"
Sjiggie

05-12-07, 10:10 AM
This man lives near the districts square and his guard is an animal I have never seen before. You should recognize the building he lives in easy the're lots of crates stapeld outside. Don't worry if you don't want to go you can go somewhere else for your "songwriting" Responds the halfling

I use the city map for this miniquest your opponent is 1 medium animal
Rauul

05-12-07, 07:02 PM
"Oh I love new songs... don't worry little guy.. I will sing you a song" As the Shadow Snaps his hood up on his Cloak and dissappears into the Dark


Ok Prebuff 2 arrows with with Drow Poison, (that way if i fumble the 5% roll i get 3-4 hours of sleep and can try again), Scout out the House... sticking to the shadows... the Guard will proably be a damn dog or something that can scent me So he will be the first target.. Pick a rose from a garden along the way (or a vender if possable)

Time to be a Bard (unless he is an elf in which case i will send another set of tactics for killing halflings afterward) :schemes:

Try to start within 90 ft of the house, Start singing About the Fascination of the Crown of Gladius ( Bardic Music: Fascinate ),

If the guy pays attention, start singing a Softer Song of Love (Cantrips: Lullaby)

Followed by a Song of Peace.. (Level 1 Sleep (if effected by Lullaby he is -2 to his save vs sleep)

well if he falls Asleep then the battle is Over... CDG guard first, merchant second..
Leave a calling card (a rose) on him
---If Sleep Fails----
Tap Tattoo and drow Bow as he moves into cover
first shot will be a drow Arrow at the Guard dog
second shot will be the merchant with drow arrow number 2

Object will be to take down the Guard dog first... then the merchant.. with arrows..

Once the merchant is down approach him..

If it's a dog and charges me within that 90ft range.. drop the bow after the first shot, draw the rapier and shield and kill it.. (rapier will be free action shield move action)

Depending on what the merchant does.. if he stays at a distance pick up the bow and shot him.. if he moves in close kill him with Melee..

Always attempt to hide after the tattoo is taped,

Good luck and happy hunting

The shadow moves quickly and silently towards the merchants house. As he aproaches the house he begins singing his song of About the Fascination of the Crown of Gladius around the corner of the house comes a dreathfull Deinonychus but he sits their listening to the Shadow. The Shadow changes his song into a song of love but the Deinonychus moves towards the shadow now not affected anymore by the songs. In a last effort The shadow tries to sing his song of Piece but the Deinonychus won't listen to him and he pounces at The Shadow who quickly grabs his shield and rapier and he tries to defend himself but can't hit the Deinonychus who rips him apart.

You propably missed the fact that the fascinate ends when you make an offensive action which casting a spell is. This puts the Deinonychus dangerously close to you. A bit of bad luck on the high rolls for the saves didn't help you either
Rauul

05-15-07, 09:15 PM
Facination ends when you cast and offensive spell... since when is Lullaby an offensive Spell? it does no damage.. is not harmful in nature.. and does no damage.. So unless your Dino makes a spellcraft check it, it should be facinated till the Sleep goes off
Sjiggie

05-16-07, 07:50 AM
Sorry but fascinate clearly states casting a spell ends the effect as is ceasing concetration on it so even if it is not ended by casting lullaby it is by ceasing concentration
Rauul

Not gonna argue.. but lullaby was no reason for the dino to attack.. sleep maybe.. would of given 1-2 more rounds to maybe use the other drow arrow.. or to arrow it..
Sjiggie

05-16-07, 08:00 AM
Maybe the dino was being thought to guard the facility it was a guard you had to take out. I agree with you if you didn't use fascinate you maybe could have used the drow arrow but the dino was just to close because of the fascinate only works within 90ft.

Gladius is the only city where a person is attacked for singing on the streets.. in a non offensive matter.. So the Dino was trained to attack anyone within 90ft of him.. rather he was armed or not.. or singing, or talking...
