02-02-06, 06:19 PM Gaston travels to the seedy and vibrant waterfront district of Gladius. The afternoon is sunny and the wide streets are filled with travelers and merchants. Turning off the main boulevard, Gaston travels down a darkened street surrounded by tall buildings. Rougher pedestrians loiter about and glare as Gaston trides down the street. Shortly he finds himself confronted with a prominent sign hanging over the street that displays a lushly female elf tied to a spit suspended over a fire. The scene is crudely carved into wood and painted hanging over the door to a two story tavern. Even in the early aftenoon, there is a drunken man lying in the gutter outside the tavern, and boisterous sounds of shouting follow the smell of strong drink waifting from the empty door frame.
waywreth
02-02-06, 06:44 PM "Hmm, looks like the place. I suppose I should just invite myself in after a bit of preparation."

Gaston will draw and manifest Inertial Armor from his powerstone, then manifest Vigor from memory for 4pp (20hp) finally followed by Force Screen (using 1pp from Cog crystal).

Stepping around the man in the gutter, Gaston confidently strides in taking a quick survey of the room as he walks in, looking for the man described to him by his prospective guildmaster.
SauroGrenom
02-02-06, 11:12 PM After prepairing yourself you stride through doorway into the darker interior of the tavern. As you scan the crowd searching for Wastren's face, the entire room slowly takes note of your presence. The loud shouting conversations of the patrons fall silent in a wave that sweeps across the room. In a few moments the entire room is looking at you. Dark human, dwarven and orcish faces glare at you from every angle.

Then a particularly large Orc clumbsily approaches you wearing what looks like a plate of metal cut from a stove and shouting in broaken common, Stupid, skinny elf.. run I BREAK YOU... He punctuates his speach, likely his most eloquent of the day, by pulling out a very big axe and bringing it down on a nearbye table. Splinters fly and the table shatters. Your keen elven senses detect a sound about 10' to your right that was not caused by any of the patrons you can detect.

You get the first action, but nobody is flatfooted.
waywreth
02-02-06, 11:19 PM "See that's not polite. Where I'm from, you are taught to be polite to your superiors. Now it's time for a lesson. Get out of this bar now everyone if you value your lives."

Gaston isn't having a good day. While he's not evil he's decided that the people in this bar are somewhat less than innocent. Keeping a close ear on the sound to his right, he eyes flare with power as a missle of fire streaks out at the orc, and all those around him bathing them with burning flames.

He then moves away from the sound, trying to keep a table or panicked patron between him and hidden target.

Manifest a 4pp Energy missle - fire based, he can hit 5 targets within 15' of each other. Gaston's main target is the orc, but anyone within 15' that remotely looks like they're reaching for a weapon, spellbook or anything else, hit them as well. 4d6+4, Reflex save, DC19, for half.

/ooc *sigh* Invisibility.
SauroGrenom
02-03-06, 03:22 PM Missiles of Flame fly from your eyes and strike the Orc and four others nearby. The orc is blasted (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=354823) in the face by one of the missiles and his headless body stands for a moment before falling on top of the table he had just smashed. There is instanly a cacaphony of sounds that follow. Breaking glass and screams surround you from all sides as the windows are broaken by fleeing patrons. Terror stricken commoners dive from the windows, run into the kitchen or up the stairs in an attempt to flee from you.

You manouver into an open place in an attempt to avoid the unseen assailant, but do not detect the sneaky one untill it is too late. He attacks (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=354847) but at the last moment a fleeing patron of the bar slams into him. You see hatred burning in the eyes of this orc as his strike is knocked aside.

You're now in base contact with the attacker.
waywreth
02-03-06, 03:36 PM Orc? Is Wastren an orc or haven't I found him yet?

If this IS Wastern - Manifest a 4pp Energy missle - cold based, he can hit 5 targets within 15' of each other. 4d6+4, Fort save, DC19, for half.

If this isn't Wastern - Gaston will take a 5' step back and trigger his loaded crossbow at the rogue. Then he quickly draws a small chunk of glowing rock. All this is done without a word.

Fire crossbow, then draw Powerstone of Mind Thrust x4 and proceed to mindthrust away at the rogue.

Following rounds: Draw longsword and keep mindthrusting until stone empty or rogue dead. If Gaston is gets below 15hp, let me know and I'll change his actions.
SauroGrenom
02-03-06, 03:52 PM Wastren is an Orc. I don't think I ever said as much earlier, but yep an orc Rogue who does alot of gambling.

Your eyes glow is cold briliance as you take a step away from his flashing blade. Waves of cold wash over your face as balls of blue white icy essence shoot from your eyes and strike Wastren and 4 others nearbye. As the first ball strikes, Wastren shivers (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=354862) and freezes. (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=354863) A solid icy mass of hatred stands before you in the now otherwise empty foom. Flames leap up the wall and are now licking at the ceiling and patches of ice decorate the room.

You notice a heavy bag of coins at Wastren's now frozen belt, and you take it before leaving the burning wreckage by the rear entrance. Traveling down the alley, you catch a glimpse of the Gladius Guard rounding the corner of the block. You deftly avoid them and return to the Consortium.
waywreth
02-03-06, 04:18 PM "Hmm well that was easier than expected. Ah well, hopefully they won't reopen that den of sin. I doubt it, but at the very least, I can always pay them another visit. It's just like that ranger I once met (http://www.giantitp.com/cgi-bin/GiantITP/ootscript?SK=270) said, "When in doubt, set something on fire."

/ooc Thanks for running the MQ SauroGrenom - I'll follow it up with some roleplay in PSI as well.

As you scan the crowd searching for Wastren's face, the entire room slowly takes note of your presence. The loud shouting conversations of the patrons fall silent in a wave that sweeps across the room. In a few moments the entire room is looking at you. Dark human, dwarven and orcish faces glare at you from every angle. Then a particularly large Orc clumbsily approaches you wearing what looks like a plate of metal cut from a stove and shouting in broaken common, Stupid, skinny elf.. run I BREAK YOU... He punctuates his speach, likely his most eloquent of the day, by pulling out a very big axe and bringing it down on a nearbye table. Splinters fly and the table shatters. Your keen elven senses detect a sound about 10' to your right that was not caused by any of the patrons you can detect. You get the first action, but nobody is flatfooted.

Get out of this bar now everyone if you value your lives." Gaston isn't having a good day. While he's not evil he's decided that the people in this bar are somewhat less than innocent. Keeping a close ear on the sound to his right, he eyes flare with power as a missle of fire streaks out at the orc, and all those around him bathing them with burning flames. He then moves away from the sound, trying to keep a table or panicked patron between him and hidden target. Manifest a 4pp Energy missle - fire based, he can hit 5 targets within 15' of each other. Gaston's main target is the orc, but anyone within 15' that remotely looks like they're reaching for a weapon, spellbook or anything else, hit them as well. 4d6+4, Reflex save, DC19, for half. /ooc sigh Invisibility.

The orc is blasted (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=354823) in the face by one of the missiles and his headless body stands for a moment before falling on top of the table he had just smashed. There is instanly a cacaphony of sounds that follow. Breaking glass and screams surround you from all sides as the windows are broaken by fleeing patrons. Terror stricken commoners dive from the windows, run into the kitchen or up the stairs in an attempt to flee from you. You manouver into an open place in an attempt to avoid the unseen assailant, but do not detect the sneaky one untill it is too late. He attacks (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=354847) but at the last moment a fleeing patron of the bar slams into him. You see hatred burning in the eyes of this orc as his strike is knocked aside. You're now in base contact with the attacker.

If this IS Wastern - Manifest a 4pp Energy missle - cold based, he can hit 5 targets within 15' of each other. 4d6+4, Fort save, DC19, for half. If this isn't Wastern - Gaston will take a 5' step back and trigger his loaded crossbow at the rogue. Then he quickly draws a small chunk of glowing rock. All this is done without a word. Fire crossbow, then draw Powerstone of Mind Thrust x4 and proceed to mindthrust away at the rogue. Following rounds: Draw longsword and keep mindthrusting until stone empty or rogue dead. If Gaston is gets below 15hp, let me know and I'll change his actions.

Your eyes glow is cold briliance as you take a step away from his flashing blade. Waves of cold wash over your face as balls of blue white icy essence shoot from your eyes and strike Wastren and 4 others nearbye. As the first ball strikes, Wastren shivers (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=354862) and freezes. (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=354863) A solid icy mass of hatred stands before you in the now otherwise empty foom. Flames leap up the wall and are now licking at the ceiling and patches of ice decorate the room. You notice a heavy bag of coins at Wastren's now frozen belt, and you take it before leaving the burning wreckage by the rear entrance. Traveling down the alley, you catch a glimpse of the Gladius Guard rounding the corner of the block. You deftly avoid them and return to the Consortium.

It's just like that ranger I once met (http://www.giantitp.com/cgi-bin/GiantITP/ootscript?SK=270) said, "When in doubt, set something on fire." /ooc Thanks for running the MQ SauroGrenom - I'll follow it up with some roleplay in PSI as well.
