Its Not Good To Be Da King

-= OOC =- Mela says, "So, I'd imagine a Perception + Investigation is needed to find your targets. The first one rolls his Larceny and..."

(Judge) Mela rolls 7 dice: [1 2 5 7 8 9 10]

Result = 5 successes.

-= OOC =- Mela says, "Wow, he's a brilliant criminal."

(Judge) Zyrius Kalius rolls Perception + Investigation: [ -1- 2 2 5 7 9 9 ]

Resulting in 3 successes.

-= OOC =- Zyrius Kalius says, "Poopy."

-= OOC =- Mela says, "This means you will not find him, you'll find one of his captains."

-= OOC =- Mela says, "Pose coming..."

-= OOC =- Zyrius Kalius says, "well that does me little good lol."

Amidst the verdent hills of Great Forks, chaos has bred. In the midst of the economic collapse, banditry and murder have become commonplace. Good men, farmers and villagers, have taken up the blade to feed family and friends. Some of them came into the lifestyle but reluctantly; others, thrived. All began to change, with the first few killings, with the first few rapes, until finally what was once monstrous became everyday. And now, these vermin lurk in the hills around the city, striking out at any travelers on the road. Shipping is crippled. Great Forks is crippled.

This cannot stand.

The elusive bandit king, Iron Thunder Descends Upon the Virgins, has many that swear fealty to him and offer him some portion of wealth for the privilage of raiding Salora Road. You have attempted to trap him... to kill him... but the wiley monster has eluded you, instead leaving a capo to watch the road in his absence.

-= OOC =- Zyrius Kalius says, "Is the capo alone?"

-= OOC =- Mela says, "Depending on the circumstances, he has between 30-40ish and 3-4 people with him."

-= OOC =- Mela says, "Whether he's using the privy, speaking, etc."

-= OOC =- Zyrius Kalius says, "well I suppose I'd like to catch him off guard and disable him, cart him off a ways for some interrogationy goodness, I need his boss or the contract is useless to me."

-= OOC =- Mela says, "Excellent. I assume you're attempting a stealth attack then, while he's... say... finishing up his 'business' in the outhouse?"

-= OOC =- Mela says, "He has 3 guard/friends outside waiting for him."

-= OOC =- Mela says, "Also, some slaves that are used to scoop up the 'stuff' and carry it away after he's done dumping out."

-= OOC =- Zyrius Kalius says, "Would the slaves fight for him? Are we dealing with mortals?"

-= OOC =- Zyrius Kalius says, "Armored?"

-= OOC =- Mela says, "The slaves may or may not. Hard to say. They're two very comely young women who are topless, and a sixteen year old boy, so, odds are they wouldn't put up much of a fight anyway."

-= OOC =- Mela says, "The -guards- are armored, but relaxed. They expect no trouble. However, they are some of the strongest fighters in the company."

-= OOC =- Zyrius Kalius says, "can I tell what sort of armor from here?"

-= OOC =- Mela says, "Sure. Buff jackets."

-= OOC =- Zyrius Kalius says, "Hmm, can trance of unhesitating speed be used on multiple targets without a penalty?"

-= OOC =- Mela says, "Lemme check."

-= OOC =- Zyrius Kalius says, "hmm, says without multiple action penalties, but doesn't specify one or multiple targets"

-= OOC =- Mela says, "Yep."

-= OOC =- Mela says, "It can be used on multiple targets."

-= OOC =- Mela says, "So, what you wanna do first then, is roll Wits + Awareness."

-= OOC =- Mela says, "(That's your initiative)."

-= OOC =- Mela says, "Then, roll Dexterity + Stealth."

(Judge) Zyrius Kalius rolls Wits + Awareness: [ 2 4 5 6 7 7 7 9 9 ]

Resulting in 5 successes.

-= OOC =- Mela says, "Then, we roll the attacks."

(Judge) Zyrius Kalius rolls Dexterity + Stealth: [ -1- -1- 2 2 3 4 4 4 9 <10> ]

Resulting in 3 successes.

(Judge) Mela rolls 6 dice: [1 1 4 5 7 7]

Result = 2 successes.

(Judge) Mela rolls 6 dice: [3 4 5 5 8 10]

Result = 3 successes.

(Judge) Mela rolls 6 dice: [2 3 4 5 5 10]

Result = 2 successes.

-= OOC =- Mela says, "You surprise 2. Congratulations! Now, roll your attacks on each. 2 of them have DV 0; one, has DV 3."

-= OOC =- Mela says, "Note which ammunition you are using as well."

-= OOC =- Zyrius Kalius says, "gotta remember my dice here..."

-= OOC =- Mela smiles, "It's ok, take your time. Write the stuff down to make it easier next time, pro tip."

-= OOC =- Zyrius Kalius says, "dex + archery +....3 accuracy for my bow, if memory serves"

-= OOC =- Mela says, "Sounds good to me."

(OOC) Zyrius Kalius just spent Essence from his Essence Peripheral pool

You have spent 6 motes of Essence Peripheral

-= OOC =- Zyrius Kalius says, "target arrows to pop that armor."

(Judge) Zyrius Kalius rolls Dexterity + Archery + 3: [ -1- 2 3 4 5 5 6 6 8 8 8 9 9 ]

(Judge) Zyrius Kalius rolls Dexterity + Archery + 3: [ 3 3 3 5 6 6 6 8 8 9 <10> <10> <10> ]

Resulting in 9 successes.

-= OOC =- Mela says, "What's your base damage?"

-= OOC =- Zyrius Kalius says, "ummm...strength plus...arrow dmg...plus bow bonuses? Am I right?"

-= OOC =- Mela says, "Correct!"

-= OOC =- Zyrius Kalius says, "Ok so 4 str + 2 bonus + 0 arrow, so 6 I guess?"

All three men die so quickly, so suddenly, it's possible the slaves won't even notice.

(Judge) Mela rolls 3 dice: [4 4 10]

Result = 2 successes.

(Judge) Mela rolls 3 dice: [5 5 10]

Result = 2 successes.

... but they do. Alarmed, one of them scrambles back from the blood and the corpse eyes, a scream catching in her throat. The two seem to realise that if they cry out, they may be blaimed, or punished. So, now they cower.

-= OOC =- Mela says, "Your 'prey', the capo, has no idea anything is amiss. If your previous observations have been any indication, he'll be busy for another minute or two."

-= OOC =- Mela says, "Doesn't get enough fiber."

-= OOC =- Zyrius Kalius says, "he a badass mafia boss or a bloated bureaucrat mafia boss"

-= OOC =- Mela says, "He's a big, formidable man, but he's getting on in years."

Zyrius Kalius marches up past the dead men, glances towards the slaves harshly and in an icey, heartless tone mutters towards the women, "Run home, girls...or you'll be next." He points to the young lad however and pulls him close, "When I say....open the door...and you'll be free as well, boy." He draws his bow and threads a Fowling arrow, aiming high for the head as he prepares to give the boy the nod of approval.

The boy nods, quickly adapting to the situation. The girls flee, but not before searching the guards to steal coin and weapons. A few moments later, the shaking hand of the catamite pulls open the privy to reveal the captain - Eight Days Dreaming. Pants around his ankles.

-= OOC =- Mela says, "Roll surprise again."

(Judge) Mela rolls 6 dice: [1 2 5 6 8 9]

Result = 2 successes.

-= OOC =- Mela says, "IE; Dex + Stealth."

(Judge) Zyrius Kalius rolls Dexterity + Stealth: [ -1- -1- 2 2 3 5 6 7 <10> <10> ]

Resulting in 5 successes.

-= OOC =- Mela says, "Surprised! Hit him."

-= OOC =- Mela says, "A single attack roll."

(Judge) Zyrius Kalius rolls Dexterity + Archery + 3: [ -1- -1- -1- -1- 5 6 6 7 7 7 9 9 9 ]

Resulting in 6 successes.

-= OOC =- Mela says, "He's knocked out."

Zyrius Kalius snatches the fat bastard from his seat, pants still around his ankles, and drags him away from the encampment as swiftly and quietly as possible, out of screaming range...before planting his back against a tree, snatching his pants off completely, and using them to bind his hands behind the tree trunk....hopefully.

-= OOC =- Zyrius Kalius says, "That ok or I need dice?"

-= OOC =- Mela says, "Sorry again! ^_^ Stupid OOC room."

-= OOC =- Mela says, "To interrogate is Investigation."

-= OOC =- Mela says, "Paired with Charisma, Manipulation, or Strength, usually."

-= OOC =- Zyrius Kalius says, "we'll go with strength, because I'm doing it the fast and painful way"

(Judge) Zyrius Kalius rolls Strength + Investigation: [ -1- 5 5 6 6 9 <10> ]

Resulting in 3 successes.

-= OOC =- Mela says, "He spills."

Zyrius Kalius draws one of his twin short swords and slices the man's cheek viciously, snarling at him as he kneels down, looking him in the eyes without so much as a blink while bringing the now-crimsoned blade against the man's throat, "Tell me...where your master is..." he commands in a disturbingly hollow tone.

-= OOC =- Mela says, "Given his information, you can set up a shot on the main guy."

-= OOC =- Zyrius Kalius says, "oh hehe."

"In the Black Ravine." He whimpers, urine streaming down his leg. "Please, please, I didn't know. He made me join. He killed my wife! And told me he'd kill my son, if I didn't serve him! Please, I swear!"

-= OOC =- Mela says, "You're relatively confident from watching this guy he has no wife and son and deeply enjoys raping people and stabbing them. So, don't feel too sorry for him."

-= OOC =- Mela says, "He's scum."

The information now retrieved....Zyrius decides to have a little fun. A swift kick to the head sends him out again, but that's the least of his worries. Hands still bound, Zyrius pulls out a small jar from the recesses of his robes. Honey...delicious...nutricious....and sweet. My how the ants adore it's delightful flavor. Even when the assassin pours it generously upon the man's exposed genitals, the smell is intoxicating to them. Having exhausted his honey supply, Zyrius stomps once on the nearby anthill...just to piss them off a bit more...and starts to make his way towards his target.

For all his evil, the bandit isn't that much different than his victims when he's screaming and begging in such a way. The Sun probably finds that amusing. You feel the warm glow of his rays on your shoulder, almost like a paternal pat of approval.

-= OOC =- Mela says, "The Sun is a god of rightous vengeance. ;)"

-= OOC =- Zyrius Kalius says, "and I'm a twisted bastard, so it works out well ;-)"

-= OOC =- Zyrius Kalius says, "Onward! :)"

-= OOC =- Mela says, "So, yeah, I'd stunt up a hiding place and a shot, and then, we'll see if you ice him."

-= OOC =- Mela says, "We're almost done with 'Bandit' 1."

-= OOC =- Mela says, "OOCly, I'd say you have very good odds."

-= OOC =- Zyrius Kalius says, "oh I'll hit him."

-= OOC =- Mela says, "Stunt first (if you want), then Wits + Awareness (to set init threshold), dex + stealth (to establish surprise), attack roll."

Zyrius Kalius charges on as his raven scouts for a good site. The assassin rushes after the bird until he sees him make a perch high in a tree, and the man knows exactly what this means. Without so much as breaking stride, Zyrius leaps and grips a low lying branch, swinging effortlessly around and overtop of it as a gymnast might, but there is something much more feral about his movements. As the branch launches him higher, Zyrius repeats the motion again before planting his feet upon yet another branch and leaping high...landing nimbly upon the fork of the trunk, providing him a perfect perch for a silent aim.

(Judge) Zyrius Kalius rolls Wits + Awareness: [ -1- -1- 2 4 4 4 8 9 9 ]

Resulting in 3 successes.

(Judge) Zyrius Kalius rolls Dexterity + Stealth: [ -1- -1- 2 3 4 4 6 6 6 7 ]

-= OOC =- Zyrius Kalius says, "OUCH"

-= OOC =- Zyrius Kalius says, "is he armored?"

-= OOC =- Mela says, "He is armored, yes."

-= OOC =- Mela says, "You and him go off at the same time."

-= OOC =- Mela says, "He will alert -his- archers, who roll -their- init."

(Judge) Mela rolls 5 dice: [1 2 3 4 7]

Result = 1 successes.

-= OOC =- Mela says, "Ok, so you, the boss, and 2 archers go off simultaniously."

-= OOC =- Mela says, "Iron Thunder Descends Upon the Virgins has no ranged weapon, so."

-= OOC =- Mela says, "Despite the fact he has good init, it's mostly useless at this range."

-= OOC =- Mela says, "His 'extras' with bows will have to suffice."

-= OOC =- Mela says, "So roll your attack on him, and they will roll to shoot you. I assume you have good cover."

Iron Thunder Descends Upon the Virgins has had many attempts made upon his life. He's grown to recognise the twinge in his stomach, the feeling in his gut, that presages such things. And, this same sixth sense preserves him here. The air is too quiet; the birds, too symphonic, the sun too bright. He knows. He knows.

"Assasin!" he bellows, pointing his hand to the trees. Without hesitation, his archers attend, bound to serve and protect the master thief.

-= OOC =- Mela says, "Your 'parry defense value' or PDV is your CombatSkill + Dex (Divided by 2). That's usually lower so it probably doesn't matter her."
