07-25-07, 11:27 AM		Ah.. ok.. :P

Oh, I haven't seen Mitza online at all today. She might be busy til later this evening. I guess, we could activate her character to go with Yorick and when I see her. I can tell her. :P
Erithmu

07-26-07, 11:57 PM		Whatever ... Kinda lost this in the middle of reading, moving a friend, and being in three missions/quests myself.

Zwei had the letter from the shipping group. One of the very few reasons that she had taken this assignment was that she might have the opportunity to drop kick Yorick into the bay when no one was looking. She was rather wishing Asran didn't have the wings to fly as he was sure that the half-devil, half-blood, half-egotistical, fully moronic warrior wouldn't know how to swim, and then sink to the bottom of the bay. If nothing else she was out of his presence and punting around someone who wouldn't know what an ego was.

It was a small improvement ...

The letter had read that a special pick up was needed in the Gladius Bay by able members of the EHTC. Zwei suspected that these were 'important' clients or rather were 'wealthy' clients. Either way the night was looking to shape up as Yorick was moving along almost at a run just to keep up. Hopefully his breathlessness would keep him tired

I hope I'm doing Mitza proud...
Macbrea

07-27-07, 08:29 AM		'Yes, Yes... She means for us to get there in haste. Yes, you will have to move along.... step aside young cart.", mutters as he moves along. 'Hey, I was sitting here first.", returns the cart, a voice from thin air. A startled rat on a stick salesman, looked in astonishment down at his cart, that just spoke back to the odd man as he traveled through the crowd.
Erithmu

07-27-07, 05:51 PM		Yorick and Zwei move down to the docks. Finding the dock that the Star should be at they find that the ship hasn't arrived yet. Looking at the time on the sheet the boat should have been here. Looking around they find that not everything is as it seems. There are more people at the docks than there should be.

Looking around a bit, Yorick finds a couple of men talking about stealing some goods, it is only when he realizes that they are talking about the Black Star that he twitches.

MitzaVolchenko

07-27-07, 08:27 PM		Zwei glares Yorick into silence and crouches down to take cover behind the hedges.
Sorry for the absence...the board is kinda tweaky from my temporary home. I didn't realize that the week had come...do you want me to update Zwei now prior to actual start of combat?
Erithmu

07-27-07, 08:29 PM		Fix now ... I'm going out for a few hours and need Mac's actions anyways.
Macbrea

07-27-07, 08:34 PM		Do they appear human? Are they large scaly beasts.. :P



Yorick's eyes seem to glaze over slightly as he focus' in on the men.
Erithmu

07-27-07, 08:50 PM		Humanoid can't tell exact race due to their facial features being away from you.
MitzaVolchenko

07-27-07, 09:06 PM		Zwei is updated...wasn't much to update :) Waiting on Mac's actions before continuing...will jsut have him post my actions with his.
Macbrea

07-27-07, 09:07 PM		Yorick taps tattoo of force screen and hides behind bushes. He indicates to Zwei that there are two and he will be tagging the left hand one.
MitzaVolchenko

07-27-07, 09:10 PM		Zwei shrugs wondering if Yorick really thinks that she can't see them...and wondering if he really knows his left from his right and taps a tattoo of inertial armor prepared to back away depending on their actions.
Erithmu

07-28-07, 12:45 AM		One of the thugs turns to the other and looks backward. He doesn't see Yorick, but Yorick sees him nod to the other one. One draws a rapier and the other draws a Greatsword. Both take a few steps toward where Yorick and Zewi are hiding

Sup Rnd:
Yorick- Force Screen

Round1
Thug 2 -Draw Rapier move 15 ft
Thug 1 -Draw Greatsword move 10ft
Yorick - ???
Zwei - Tap IA ??

I kinda have to do this mission rules style. Sorry Mitza.
Macbrea

07-28-07, 08:15 AM		Yorick take two quick shots at the guy with the greatsword.

Note: the first bolt has drow poison on it. This clip is loaded Psn-Nrm-Psn-Nrm-Psn. And I think, I should get an additional +1d6 sneak attack on the first shot.
MitzaVolchenko

07-28-07, 11:54 AM		Not sure what you mean 'Rith. Zwei's strategy stays the same as always since Mac has declined to add her tactics to his. That is her opening action regardless of what the nutty runt does. Tap IA and move to keep distance preferring cover location that allows hiding. I can't particularly wait for Mac to get around to posting before tossing it up here or this could take a lot longer than one would like :)
Macbrea

07-28-07, 12:08 PM		Tactics for Yorick are going to look like this. Fire two shots into greatswords man, Step Fire two shots into Rapier user. Withdraw through hedge to south or north whichever is possible. Cast darkness on self, move and hide. Then snipe greatswordsman if he hasn't fallen with last poisoned bolt. At this point, Yorick will be moving and rehiding on next round. He will reload crossbow on following round. Then sniping once per round from there on out.
Erithmu

07-28-07, 07:01 PM		Yorick fires off two bolts that both strike the Greatsword user, with a quick blink he falls to the ground unconscious his body twitching. His partner tries to wake him, and as reward takes a bolt in the back, and one off his armor. He too slumps over.

Round 1
Thug 2 -Draw Rapier move 15 ft
Thug 1 -Draw Greatsword move 10ft
Yorick - Fires 2 bolts (Atks 21, 19! confirm 16: hit Dmg 16 Fort: 10) No SA, they have 'enough' rogue levels
Zwei - Tap IA

Round 2
Thug 2 - KO
Thug 1 - Tries to wake up his partner but cant
Yorick - Fires 2 bolts (Atks: 20,12 dmg 4 Fort: 9)
Zwei - move to CDG?

Well that was quick ...
MitzaVolchenko

07-28-07, 08:52 PM		"That was hardly any fun, runt," Zwei steps lithely past Yorick and casually begins to search them. "Now we run into a problem...we don't have days to wait on them to wake up."
Macbrea

07-28-07, 09:22 PM		"Well, I didn't want to cause too much trouble in the streets, hmm, wonder if they have any loose change!", as Yorick rummages through their pockets looking for loose change. He leaves behind a small wooden symbol of Diirinka.

"It's all good, I am sure they really didn't want to take anything from our supplier."
MitzaVolchenko

07-28-07, 09:28 PM		Zwei snorts derisively. "If they were three foot tall *****s, I would believe that. Since they aren't, I am going to assume that they meant to steal the shipment."

Zwei completes her search for anything meaningful that might identify them.

"The Company has a lot of rivals. It might be useful to know which one these fellows are from. You might as well take that symbol back unless you are looking for fishy converts. These two are going for a stroll off the dock as soon as I am done here."
Erithmu

07-28-07, 09:45 PM		Zwei found some minor identifying marks as the men laid there knocked out by Yorick's poison. Most of which were of no use, there didn't seem to be any 'matching' marks that would indicate guild information. She finds a few pieces of paper but finishes the search before looking at them.

The first was a map of the docks. Mitza quickly made out where they were and found. The second was specific orders. The two thugs were upper level as they were not to take place in the attack, but rather they appeared to be on the guard of the officer in charge of the raid. Mitza was trying to put the two together when Yorick comments, "Hey this isn't loose change ..."

Mitza looks up to see the Derro looking at a gold coin with a setting sun. Off in the distance she saw the light of a ship moving into port. Glancing at the map, the ship was going to dock right into the place where the main attack was going to take place.

The Sunset Avengers had a 'land' crew.

07-29-07, 01:04 AM		"We need to get moving, runt. There is an ambush waiting to happen," Zwei cringes seeing that Yorick is pocketing things like used handkerchiefs.
Macbrea

07-29-07, 10:22 PM		"Well, pirates huh.. one never knows when they be looking for a bit of rum in all the wrong places. Ready, when you are.", Yorick plucks up the symbol and follows after Zwei.
Erithmu

07-29-07, 10:30 PM		Zwei and Yorick moved silently through the docks to where the leaders should be arriving. The darkness and the fog were giving them enough cover, but they still couldn't see any of the other members of the attacking party. The note only indicated where the leaders were and where the two thugs were supposed to go when the ship docked. They were now near where the Leadership should have been. But there was no sight of the leader or leaders.

The ship was docking and from their view they could see the Habari Trade Company note on the ship. A pair of gnomes appeared on deck and were looking around for what might have been an ambush, while another two were tying down the ship.
Macbrea

07-30-07, 08:58 AM		"Hey, A half size ship! This is a captian after my own heart. Maybe we should see if he has some wine or maybe a bit of cheese!", Yorick exclaimed as he seems to change out his single poisoned bolt into the near full clip he has at his hip. Then placing that clip in the crossbow he lets the crossbow drop back to his side.


Putting the last poisoned bolt into my other half full clip. Yes, this will end up making it an odd configuration of:

Psn - Psn - Reg - Reg - Reg

But, he isn't too worried about his setup. He will adjust his shooting to match what he needs.
Erithmu

08-01-07, 04:48 PM		As the EHTC pair watch the ship dock, the gnomes tie down a pair of the docking ropes. Off to the left it seems that a pair of men are stepping out into the open air. The gnomes don't seem to have noticed them standing in the mist. But they are roughly 40 ft from where Zwei and Yorick are hiding. They appear to be waiting for the gnomes to lower the gangplank.

I can provide a map later if needed.
Macbrea

08-04-07, 12:56 PM		Yorick is going to wait for the gangplank to be be lowered and see what these two are upto. He wants to see if they are waiting to rush the gangplank or ambush to gnomes. If they move toward the ship, he will put the first bolt in the left one and the second bolt in the right one.
Erithmu

08-07-07, 12:52 AM		Good Grief ... I totally forgot I was running this mission, in my effort to get ready for the campaign. I ask for forgiveness and I'll update this first thing in the morning ...
Macbrea

08-07-07, 08:28 AM		Don't worry too much, we might be having a problem near the end of this one as Mitza and Myself are going to Gencon on the 14th of this month. We won't be available again until at least the 22nd. So, If we don't get done before then. We are going to have to delay a week for vacation.
Erithmu

08-07-07, 10:26 AM		The gangplank is lowered and the sounds of cargo being pulled up from the hull fills the air. Zwei and Yorick hear the sounds of metal clearing sheaths and bowstrings be pulled taught. The gnomes seemed to be unaware. Slowly shadows appear out of the mist moving towards the gangplank. It is an ambush.

Yorick reacts and unloads two bolts with a slight pause, the first one sticks but the poison seems to not take effect, the second bolt strikes and knocks out one of the men. The first cloaked man looks at his slumped over partner and then yells "ATTACK!"

The gnomes seemed to have expected this and suddenly the entire side of the ship is full of the sounds of crossbow fire. Many thugs drop instantly as they were not expecting the command so soon. Yet the battle is joined quickly as the gnomes set to repel borders. It would seem the commanders are these two, and probably need to be removed.

Macbrea

08-07-07, 02:49 PM		Ok: Mitza may or may not be able to log on today. So, she gave me permission to post both our tactics. Zwei's are pretty easy.

She will stay back and snipe at the last target in a hope to bring him down. If he comes after her directly she will withdraw her full move and then rehide. Going back to sniping at the target. Pretty simple tactics on her side.

Yorick will tap tattoo of force screen. Then next round step and send two bolts into his target. On the round after that send the last one. This leaves him with a choice. If his target has seemed to hit him easily at this point drop the crossbow and draw the shortsword and wand of cure light wounds. Your going to move in such a manner that your not providing cover to Zwei. Then melee or Heal, feel free to expend as many charges from the wand as nessessary to keep the target busy with Yorick. Basiclly, your there to tie up the target while Zwei drops him with ranged shots.

If your hps get below 12. Then step away from target and cast sanctuary on self. Technically, since this is week 3 I believe I have all 3 spell levels. Feel free to repeat. While under sanctuary heal up some.

If for some odd reason he goes after Zwei instead of Yorick. Heal up to above 20 hps and reload and shot at him with the crossbow. Pretty simple tactics either way.



Yorick mumbles and taps his tattoo. Winks up at Zwei and prepares to send more bolts down range.
Erithmu

08-07-07, 05:32 PM		Yorick draws the attention of the last thug while Zwei puts three well placed arrows into the the leader, which drops him. The gnomes repel the borders and the would be thieves scatter as their leaders have fallen.

Zwei makes quick work of the other leader with a fist to the head. Grabbing the bodies she takes anything of value and then drags both to throw into the bay.

As she finishes Zwei notices a rather familiar face appears on deck: Marcus Tallfellow.

"I think I owe the two of you a thank you, my crew would have sustained more losses although we were expecting the ambush. And a loyal crew is hard to find these days."

08-07-07, 08:21 PM		"We were just here to pick up some property, but these rude fellows seem to be in the way. Yorick Alexander Wesley Marmuduke Von Wizensmithe at your service of the East Harabi Trading Company and Emporium.", Yorick nodded to the Captian and smiled.
Erithmu

08-10-07, 11:37 AM		Marcus nodded "So then you must be here for the cargo pick up. I suspect that you might need a bit of rest before you make the final trip back to Headquarters, so let me offer you a bit of drink for your trouble."

Ok you guys are both between cycles and I need to offer you the chance to purchase gear/expendables. If you want to just spot me a quick list that would be awesome and I'll note it in the mission log
Macbrea

08-10-07, 01:31 PM		Oddly, only thing between cycles Yorick can pick up is 4 doses of poison plus 5 clips of 5 bolts for his crossbow. I lack the funds I would get from this mission to be able to spend them on my armor and 2 tattoos to replace the ones I used.

"Just grabbin a bit of tea for myself. The bitter kind and a few bolts from the stores.", Yorick mentions as he tosses a street merchant some coins and picks out some nice mushrooms and a few packs of bolts. "Yes, we are from the warehouse. Here to pick up some items for the boss.", Yorick mentioned off hand.

"This young beauty is Zwei, though I suspect you have met before.", indicating to Zwei to Marcus.

Must get Mitza to finish up this quest with me. She has gone to relatives for a few days before we head out to gencon.
Erithmu

08-12-07, 12:05 PM		Sorry I'm slacking here ...

An evening is spend in good company with the gnomes. and Zwei and Yorick spend the evening in the guest Rooms, although Zwei is a little cramped.

The morning comes and in the early foggy dawn the two members of the EHTC set out with the cargo on a pair of ponies.

They are not long in the street when Yorick hears what appears to be an ambush set up ahead of them. A voice on the left side of the street is heard "That's them."
Macbrea

08-13-07, 12:07 AM		OOC: Ok, may have problem finishing up. But going to give both our general tactics for whatever we fight.

Zwei will hide and sniper her target. Whomever it is. Yorick will be casting Darkness on self. Then tapping tattoo of force screen and then fighting melee. I don't have much tricks I can do at this point. The hope is Zwei can do enough damage to actually make Yorick's job easy.

Gencon has come too soon. So, as a result I have to get ready and drive 950 miles to be there on wedsday. Oh, feel free to heal him with his wand as he goes along. He will alternate healing and swinging if he gets below 50%.

Yorick casts a spell on himself and taps a tattoo, while drawing his shortsword and wand. "Lets have at it!", Yorick grins.
Erithmu
