Extension (Conan 2D20 V3.6 09302018) loaded.
As the Great Slumbara considers the important questions of the moment, namely, "Do I roll double complications trying to kill my party members, only to end up with my sword flying through the air and killing a bunch of innocent small children who are not the target of any bounties," the world pauses to see what happens next.
Slumbara scratches his chin and ponders Gunderman's offer
Skittles leaps off Meltam's shoulder where he was hiding and runs forward to ponder the Gunderman.
Meltam Perandus: Persuade 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 17]
Slumbara: Discipline 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 26]
Meltam Perandus: If this Gunderman was actually wealthy, would he be making a living off low-teir bounties on simple ruffians?
Meltam Perandus: We'll find wealth beyond his imaginings.
Meltam Perandus shrugs
Slumbara: Can you pay me back the 5 gold you owe me?
Slumbara: Because apparently your severed head can
Gunderman: EGADS! It is a small demonic kitten! It has to be slain for the sake of our canine overlords!
A small "yipping" noise erupts from the Gunderman's pack and a crazed poodle leaps through the air and tries to maul Skittles!
Meltam Perandus: I will pay it back with interest! The First United Bank of Acheron will open it's coffers to us in, oh, 5-6 days.
Slumbara: Animal Handling 4EXP/4FOC Successes = 0 Complications = 1 [2d20 = 36]
Meltam Perandus: Animal Handling 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 13]
Slumbara attempts to calm the poodle, apparently to little success
Skittles thinks "its on like donkey kong!"
Meltam Perandus I attempt to scoop Skittles from any harm.
Poodle turns its attention to Slumbara, blood and rabies in its eyes.
Gunderman points at Slumbara.
Volmalric: As a consummate professional, Slumbara, I presume you're aware of how unprofessional it is to switch up bounties during a job like that.
Gunderman: My poodle claims you are the abomination of feline kind! YOU MUST DIE.
Feneril (Slumbara): I think the most perfect complication Dave could hope for is "Slumbara hits his head and forgets about the bounty
Gunderman swings at Slumbara.
Slumbara: I can do both
Slumbara: Slumbara is a very good detective
Volmalric: Besides, Jaunus would likely not be able to pay out on anything like that, the fool's an inbred loaf who doesn't know that you're supposed to have 5 gold if you offer 5 gold as a bounty
Volmalric: Persuade 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 16]
Slumbara: Discipline 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 1 [2d20 = 21]
Slumbara: Hmmm.... We will discuss after I kill this impolite man
Volmalric: With an employee like that, what do you think the employer is like?
Slumbara: We work with Meltam, so it is hard to judge a man by his companions
Gunderman spends 4 Doom.
Gunderman: [2d20 = 26]
Gunderman: [12d6 = 39]
Slumbara: Parry 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 0 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 25]
Slumbara is using a Hero Point
Slumbara: Parry 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 12]
Excellent use of a Hero point, canceling 4 of his 5 successess.
Because his damage roll was 21 points of damage inflicting 4 Wounds, with splash damage to Skittles, Meltam and Volmalric.
Gunderman: [8d6 = 26]
Okay, that is much better, 10 damage (before armor)
Skittles: [2d20 = 4]
Skittles rolls....a 1 and a 3.
Skittles dodges out of the way of the axe...this will be important shortly.
Tack (Meltam Perandus): A familiar that lasts more than one session? KEEPER.
Gunderman swings his axe in a giant arc, it begins letting out a howling cry that causes the Bossonian ferrymen and the nearby family to fail their panic checks and scatter (because I don't feel like rolling for them). It chops into Slumbara, knocking the big man aside before chewing into Meltam and Volmalric also. His axe finishes its brutal arc, but then lets out a bellowing cry of rage when it fails to hit Skittles. The axe seems to take on a life of its own, rotates in the Gunderman's hands, and proceeds to embed itself into the Gunderman's head, where it begins making chomping noises as it crunches through his skull.
Khorne claps in approval, then returns to his normal Games Workshop setting.
Slumbara: This is very dissapointing
Slumbara carves off the Gunderman's scalp
Skittles pounces on ypping poodle and they begin rolling on the ground hissing and barking.
Poodle: YIP YIP!
Skittles: HISS! HISS!
Tack (Meltam Perandus): (In before Khorne is renamed Corn and stewards good crops and the hearth rather than carnage)
Volmalric: That...
Meltam Perandus: Sorcery 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 0 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 37]
Meltam Perandus: Lore 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 18]
Volmalric: That is a weapon which needs to be destroyed
Slumbara attempts to tame the vicious poodle
Volmalric: Lore 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 20]
Slumbara: Animal Handling 4EXP/4FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 15]
Meltam Perandus: What in the heck is THIS axe?
Poodle seems resistant to Slumbara's attempts at animal handling.
Slumbara: Ranged Weapons 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 18]
Slumbara picks up the axe and throws it off the ferry into the river
Meltam Perandus: Slumbara I am dissapointed, we have to bury that axe some place where it can't hurt people rather than being a plot device in the sequel.
Slumbara , seeing that his animal handling has failed, also picks up the poodle and throws it into the river
Slumbara: Ranged Weapons 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 15]
Meltam Perandus: Athletics Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 12]
Skittles is latched on to Poodle, refuses to release grip and ends up in the water with poodle. A short while later, only Skittles emerges from the water on the same side of the river as the rest of the party.
Meltam Perandus: Good Kitty!
Slumbara: Oh no, meltam is going to drown
Slumbara: Slumbara had better help
Slumbara: Athletics 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 3 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 10]
Slumbara swims after Meltam and grabs him to pull him to safety
Meltam Perandus: Hey guys look what I found!
Meltam Perandus brandishes a Gunderman(TM) Brand Axe
Slumbara: I wasn't sure if I was going to kill you, but if you kill yourself, I am going to collect the bounty
Meltam Perandus: Sure, if that happens, no one will axe any questions.
Slumbara: I'm still not convinced whether I should collect that bounty on Volmalric though
Meltam Perandus: I can't believe you are so easily swayed by pittances.
Slumbara: Why does this other rich white man want to kill you?
Meltam Perandus: Kushites seldom have good counting skills though....
Volmalric: You shouldn't
Volmalric: He's a short sighted fool and his family has held a grudge since my family supplanted him due to yielding better crops in higher quantity
Slumbara: Hmm...
Slumbara thinks deeply
Volmalric: Also, my best suggestion is that we wrap that axe up very securely and dispose of it properly
Slumbara: Ok, If you teach Slumbara the secret to growing the best crops, Slumbara will be in your debt
Volmalric: I think the Temple of Mitra is the safest place, unless we have a volcano nearby
Volmalric gives Slumbara a thumbs up
Meltam Perandus: Don't cross the tropes.
Slumbara: Much better than 10 gold from chpping your head off
Meltam Perandus: That's the first rule of sorcery1
Meltam Perandus: Also, we need to keep pursuing the goons.
Meltam Perandus: Loot this Gunderman's pockets and lets' get on with it.
Meltam Perandus: Persuade 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 25]
GM: Tropes were not crossed, Volmalric asked a question and received an answer which is trop-ish but accurate. Also, I would have to see if this particular piece of Conan lore came out before or after LOTR.
Slumbara grabs the rope and pulls the ferry across the river
Slumbara: Athletics 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 4 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 4]
Slumbara accidentally picks up the ferry and carries it across the river on his head while swimming
Volmalric: Does anybody have wounds which need to be treated?
Volmalric: Because I do
Okay, you are on the other side of the river, in considerable pain, bloody, but you have a cat and no one is dead.
Meltam Perandus: Healing 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 18]
Volmalric is using a Hero Point
Volmalric checks Slumbara's wounds first
Volmalric: Healing 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 21]
Volmalric finishes bandaging up the gash on Slumbara's arm, gesturing to Meltam
Volmalric: Your turn next
Volmalric: Healing 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 3 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 12]
Meltam Perandus: Hot damn, you are earning your brownie points for Mitra today!
Volmalric does a much easier job heaing the smaller and more paper-like Meltam, unlike Slumbara's muscles of steel
Volmalric checks over his own wounds and bandages himself up
Volmalric: Healing 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 9]
Meltam Perandus: Intelligence - 8 Successes = 0 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 33]
Volmalric: Meltam, we should wrap that disasterous thing up
Meltam Perandus: By that logic, friend Volmaric, we should wrap up the Kushite...
Slumbara: Maybe when we aren't in the wilds
Slumbara winks at Meltam Perandus
Meltam Perandus blushes
Slumbara: But we have work to do
Slumbara: Let's crack on
Slumbara attempts to rellocate the tracks he had been following before crossing the river
Meltam Perandus: Survival Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 3]
Slumbara: Survival 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 0 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 27]
Volmalric: Survival 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 0 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 29]
Volmalric and Slumbara spend about 15 minutes following the other person's trail through the marsh on this side of the river before coming back to where Meltalm and Skittles are standing.
Meltalm shrugs and points at, what is blindingly obviously a trail to such a skilled Woodsman as himself. It also helps that Skittles is jumping from one boot print to the other.
Meltam Perandus: Ah, the fresh, untained wilds!
Slumbara asks Volmalric many detailed questions about his farming secrets as they follow after their quarry
After a couple days, you arrive at a Zingaran Border Town. There is a poorly maintained pallisade and it is on a small man-made rise to survey the marshland that is the border of Pictland, Bossonia, and Zingara.
Meltam Perandus: Observation 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 23]
The town looks to have a population of perhaps 200 or so.
Slumbara: Craft Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 22]
Volmalric answers back with detailed responses with regards to proper organization, shifting between several crops and training various people to specialize while the majority remain generalized
Volmalric: Society 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 17]
Slumbara decides not to tear off Volmalric's head for the bounty in light of his excellent farming advice
There is a small sign at the entrance of the Zingaran village, it is called "Tarroca"
Slumbara: walks up to the entrance
Meltam Perandus: A lovely town!
Slumbara walks up to the entrance
Volmalric: Observation Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 15]
Slumbara: Observation 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 9]
Meltam Perandus: Sorcery 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 15]
The village appears to be older and not very well maintained, but is generally busy with foot traffic and people moving about. It does not appear to have been burned, looted, razed, or destroyed recently.
Feneril (Slumbara): we can change that!
Volmalric: So, let's check for the inn, first. Meltam, you've seen the man, keep an eye out for him
Meltam Perandus: Will do, that's great advice!
There appear to be several inns in the town. The guards nod as you approach the gate, but make no move to intercept or communicate with you unless you want to engage in shenanigans or communication.
Meltam Perandus salutes the good guards.
Volmalric passes by the guards without trouble
Slumbara waves to all the guards
Slumbara: Society Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 27]
The guards shrug back and do not appear very interested in you, since you are not transporting enough taxable goods for them to care about.
The guards wave back at the group, Slumbara attracts a few stares, as large black guys are uncommon in this tiny out of the way village.
Volmalric: We can check each of the inns and see who's come into town recently, as well as whether there are any questionable activities or locations which they'd be seeking out
Slumbara: Slumbara is thinking we should stake out the brothels, if Guto or Arqiite are here, they will probably be found there
Meltam Perandus: That is actually great advice!
Volmalric gives Meltam a funny look
Volmalric: What are you up to?
Meltam Perandus looks for the most expensive brothel, as we know our prey has probably stolen and looted all the way here...
Meltam Perandus: Observation 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 14]
Slumbara asks around to determine where the seediest brothels are
Slumbara: Society Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 16]
Meltam Perandus: Why, Volmaric, I am looking for the two goons we need to bring to Justice!
Meltam locates the nicest brothel in town. It appears to have a minor beg bug infestation and the risk of getting STDs are only 1 in 3.
Slumbara locates the seediest brothel in town...it is next door (there are only 200 people in this place) and it seems to have a major bed bug infestation and a 3 in 4 change if STDs.
Volmalric: You're going to hire a vampire?
Volmalric: So, while I am totally for investigating the brothels, I think it's a better idea to check on the inns first and see if they've gotten places to stay. They are likely going to be visiting those before a brothel
Meltam Perandus: Okay, sure, after you!
Meltam Perandus: Observation 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 30]
Slumbara: Animal Handling 4EXP/4FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 21]
Volmalric: Society 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 14]
Meltam Perandus: I mean it is a border town, but if there's any way I can check for their would be horsies...
Meltam Perandus Pets Skittles affectionately.
Meltam Perandus: Animal Handling 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 18]
Volmalric asks around and after a few inquiries is told to go to the "Proud Horse Inn" as that is where Count Duro is likely to be found this time of day, and the Count (who is the ruler of this town, FYI) was seen talking with two men who match the description you have for your quarry.
Volmalric: Hmmmmm
Slumbara: We should find this Count Duro then, we can always go to the brothels later
Volmalric: Agreed, I'm hoping that they don't wind up getting on Count Duro's good side before we stop them
Slumbara: I am sure one of you silver tounged white-devils can change his mind
Slumbara: and if not, Slumbara can remove his mind
Slumbara: through a hole on the top of his head
Meltam Perandus: Give me just a few moments gentlemen, and we can....begin our negotiations
Slumbara laughs and heads towards the Proud Horse Inn
Meltam Perandus: Stealth 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 16]
Slumbara: Observation 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 16]
Volmalric: Observation Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 20]
Meltam Perandus: Survival Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 14]
Meltam Perandus: In we go!
Meltam Perandus follows Volmaric
The Proud Horse Inn is a large establishment in the middle of town. The main floor is packed, but you easily spot Count Duro, as he is seated at the end of a rectangular table close to the fireplace. There are at least 15 guards stationed at the chairs and around him. Most of the patrons seem to consider this "situation normal" and pay much more attention to Slumbara's entrance ("GIANT KUSHITE! OMG!") than anything else happening.
Slumbara flexes for the ladies (and men)
Slumbara: Athletics 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 0 Complications = 1 [2d20 = 38]
Meltam Perandus: Observation 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 3 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 10]
Meltam Perandus looks intentively for people of interest.
Count Duro is an older man, with scraggly grey hair, a long beard, and a nice looking sword draped over the back of his chair. He has a flagon of ale in one hand, and staring blankly at a nearby chessboard while a young man (you'd guess maybe early teens) is contemplating his next move.
Meltam Perandus: Oh, I need to use the hand wash....
Meltam Perandus: Stealth 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 6]
Slumbara walks up to count Duro
Slumbara observes the chess game
Slumbara: Insight Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 24]
Meltam Perandus: Society 4EXP/4FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 1 [2d20 = 21]
Slumbara: Hello friend Doopoo, I am detective Slumbara
Count Duro looks at Slumbara.
Slumbara: I am looking for a Shemite and a Bossonian who killed someone
Slumbara: I don't remember the details, but they are bad
Count Duro: Hello Detective Slumbara, that is very interesting.
Count Duro: We do not see many Kushites around here, and even fewer looking for a Shemite.
Slumbara: Slumbara gets that a lot
Volmalric: Insight Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 23]
Slumbara hands the count a business card
Volmalric: How do they react to him when he brings up the Shemite and Bossonian?
Meltam Perandus: [1d12 = 4]
Slumbara: We could talk about Slumbara all day, but my "friend" heard around town that you may have been talking to this shemite
Count Duro: I talk to many people, good Kushite Detective Slumbara, most everyone who comes through town speaks with me.
Slumbara: [1d20 = 10]
Slumbara: So you have spoken to them... Detective Slumbara gets another confession
Slumbara: Did they tell you who it was they killed in Velitrium, I forgot
From outside the inn, Volmalric and Slumbara hear what sounds like a chainsaw revving and then a scream of "BLOOD" followed by a loud slurping noise and massive panic. Several people bolt inside the end, screaming about the "END TIMES HAVE COME".
Kazemi (Volmalric): Where is Meltam?
Volmalric: Observation Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 16]
Slumbara: Observation 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 26]
Meltam Perandus: Acrobatics Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 24]
Count Duro: [2d20 = 11]
Count Duro: [5d6 = 16]
Slumbara waits for Meltam Perandus to be killed before acting
Slumbara orders a drink while he waits
Volmalric rushes over to teh door to see what's happening
Volmalric and Slumbara are pretty sure Meltam is doing something.
Meltam Perandus: Thievery 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 0 Complications = 1 [2d20 = 34]
Volmalric sees a very misbehaving axe devouring the entrails of what had been about a 10 year old boy. Meltalm has just tripped over his own feet and fallen face first into the ground a about 10 feet from the axe. Standing over Meltam is an imposing looking man holding a cutlass who seems to be debating between stabbing Meltam and trying to rescue the innocent bystanders nearest to Meltam's weapon.
Slumbara finishes his drink and heads outside
Volmalric: Clear the area from the axe!
Slumbara: Observation 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 19]
Count Duro: Guards, find out what is going on and arrest whoever is causing this ruckus! I am busy in here playing chess.
Lazair: Right!
Slumbara charges into action
Slumbara is using a Hero Point
Lazair grabs a couple screaming small children and runs from the area.
Feneril (Slumbara): hero point to ignore wounds
Slumbara charges towards Meltam and the axe
Lazair then returns to be more heroic.
Volmalric is using a Hero Point
Slumbara: Athletics 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 24]
Volmalric: Athletics 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 0 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 26]
Slumbara: Ranged Weapons 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 23]
Slumbara picks up Meltam and throws him at the axe as a distraction
Meltam Perandus: Noooooooo!
Meltam Perandus: Sorcery 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 25]
Slumbara after throwing Meltam Perandus towards the axe, Slumbara runs to save the children
Slumbara: Parry 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 0 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 34]
Slumbara: Athletics 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 3 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 13]
Feneril (Slumbara): Parry to try to deflect any axe blows, athletics to carry them to safety
Feneril (Slumbara): BTW I have to wrap up soon(ish)
Meltam flies towards the axe and plows into the corpse of the urchin. There is an explosion of dust (way more than would be expected, it is almost like a miniature sandspout that lasts about 3 seconds). When the dust clears, the axe is nowhere to be seen...but Meltam is wrapped in the entrails of a young boy with chunks of large intestines in his teeth and draped out both sides of his mouth.
Slumbara tackles Meltam to the ground
Slumbara: Melee 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 11]
Slumbara ties Meltam up
Slumbara: Survival 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 3 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 10]
Slumbara: Detective Slumbara is placing you under arrest
Meltam Perandus: Parry 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 0 Complications = 1 [2d20 = 30]
Slumbara: For... I guess canibalism?
Slumbara: Also stupidity
Metalm slurps down the intestine in response.
Volmalric: If only we could arrest someone for stupidity...
Feneril (Slumbara): We can resolve Mltam's murder trial next week
Campaign saved.
