The letter arrived earlier that week, you’ve been accepted into the Sharn Watch Advanced Tactics team and are expected to report to Central Command that Friday for your swearing in and briefing. But late Thursday night, there’s a knock on your door and another sealed envelope, your presence is requested by the Lord Commander immediately. The mood at the central office is tenser than usual, though most civilians wouldn’t be able to tell the difference, you can tell your fellow officers are concerned about something. Tones hush as you approach, and people are stone silent as you ascend towards the administrative floor.  The halfling secretary sits at her desk outside the Lord Commander's office fidgeting nervously, occasionally glancing across the room at the two dour looking officers flanking the door into the office proper, though she brightens up with a practiced smile when she sees you approach. “Oh, uh, are you one of the officers he requested? I was told to expect five of you, right? I’m sure he’ll be right with you,” she lowers her voice, motioning with her head towards the two other people in the room, “Lady Cazal just arrived, she did not seem happy.” --- Welcome to the In Mourning game thread, OOC and recruiting thread is here.

 Enna Nodding at the secretary, Enna leans against the wall, fixing her gaze on the office doors for a moment, then lowering it. She'd expect this kind of cold reception from the Dura Watch. Up here in Central? Something's not right, and at the center of it are the newcomers. Scanning the room, she takes stock of her new co-workers. The warforged had no immediately visible weapons save for a staff, but his arm had the tell-tale signs of wear from retracting into an armbow many times. She liked warforged, they were generally an unsubtle, result-oriented people. The strange man with flaming hair was probably a genasi, one of the elemental race, and his demeanor spoke of someone who was also concerned with retribution rather than justice. That might be trouble later on, she thought, but chances are I'm soon going to be glad there's a big man with a sword on the good guys' side. She tried not to think about the kalashtar. She was uneasy working with a psionic, and useful as probing a suspect's mind might be in an interrogation, she couldn't discount the chance he was doing the same to his allies right now. Calling images of sunshine and rainbows to the front of her mind, she looked around the office. Surely the dragonborn couldn't be the fifth man on the Watch Advanced Tactics team?

Anodyne Ah yes, hurry up and wait. Anodyne really was making the most of his battlefield experience in the Watch. Eventually the yelling would filter down to him, or something would explode, and then it would be time for action. Settling into the perfect stillness of a Warforged with nothing better to do at the moment, Anodyne gives his fellow hurried waiters a brief, cursory examination. They seem competent enough. No doubt they'd all be whining like babies before too long, though. Back in the day, it seemed like any five-minute lull in combat would set his entire unit into a chorus of "MY PARENTS ARE DEEEAAAAAD" "I MISS MY GIIIRRRRLLLL" and so on. "Angst," they called it. As far as Anodyne understood it, it was the organics' curse: the burden of not knowing what you were made for. They really are precious.

Ghorma Walking briskly, Ghorma heads to the halfling's desk and leans up against it, dropping his axe with a loud thud on the ground beside him. Leaning in close to the secretary with a grin he whispers back to her "I doubt Cazel'd be Cazel if she weren't angry about something." Stepping away from the desk Ghorma kicks the axe back into his hand and walks towards the assembled officers to get a closer look, finding what he expected. Bunch of do-gooders of all sorts, though a warforged can be fun; never know whats going through their metal heads. "SO! My fellow officers of the watch's newest squad I bet, eh?

 Jerac Jerac never felt comfortable with bureaucratic situations. Give him a criminal to track down or an infernal arcane artifact to stop from hurting everyone in a village and he was at ease. But throw him into a room with people sitting around with nothing to do but stare at each other and listen to the sound of their own breathing, and Jerac began to panic. He had no doubts of his soon-to-be colleagues, largely because becoming a member of the Advanced Tactics Team meant you had to be at least somewhat competent. No, Jerac was instead worried about the red tape they'd be facing in the field. That was always the problem, trying to really help people and then getting stopped because the higher ups had more important things to do. Instead Jerac was hoping that the rest of his soon-to-be team wasn't just a bunch of rear end-kissers hoping to advance their careers. Jerac didn't care about that, he just wanted to make an impact and really help some people. pre:Jerac HP: 104/104 (THP: ) AC: 29 Passive Insight: 18 Surges: 12/12 (V:27) For: 24 Passive Perception: 18 Initiative: +11 Ref: 27 Action Points: 1 Speed: 6 Will: 23 Encounter Daily [ ]Second Wind [ ]Dance of the Sword [ ]Guardian's Counter [ ]Sword of the Shielding Fire [ ]Promise of Storm [ ]Arcane Deflection [ ]Sword of Sigils [ ]Channeling Shield At-Will [ ]Dimensional Vortex [-]Sword Burst [ ]Acid Surge [-]Booming Blade [ ]Insightful Warning -Close Blast 2 due to Resounding Thunder [ ]Dazing Rebuke [-]Aegis of Shielding [ ]Reactive Surge [ ]Tempest Burst [ ]Phylactery of Action (Item) [ ]Boots of the Fencing Master (Item) [ ]Drowmesh of Aegis Expansion (Item) [ ]Sentinel Marshal Honor Blade (Item) Conditionals: -When I hit an enemy marked by me with an Arcane attack power, I gain 2 Temp HP. -When I complete an extended rest, I gain 1d8 Temp HP. -When I shift, I gain a +1 item bonus to AC and Reflex until the end of my next turn. -When I reduce a nonminion enemy to 0 hit points, I gain 7 Temp HP. -When I use an action point I can manafest any element.

 Malakhad "Thank you. We'll wait here." Malakhad sat in one of the antechamber's chairs, glad for the chance to rest after the long walk. He was used to waiting while commanding officers conducted their business. The atmosphere at Central Command was troubling, though. It didn't bode well for the newly formed team if storm clouds were already visible before they'd even received their first assignment. The customary delay did give him the opportunity to look over his new teammates, though. Most of them seemed anxious to get underway, the genasi in particular. The warforged was hard to get a read on, but that was always the case with his kind. It didn't take a psychic to recognize the elephant in the room, though. It was the same way every time new Watch members were assigned to work with him. "Don't worry. I don't read the minds of friends and co-workers." The kalashtar smiled warmly. pre:Malakhad HP: 64/64 (THP: ) AC: 25 Passive Insight: 31 Surges: 7/7 (V:16) For: 21 Passive Perception: 24 Initiative: +9** Ref: 25 Action Points: 1 Speed: 6 Will: 28 Power Points: 6 At Will Encounter Daily Melee Basic Attack [ ]Cast Fortune [ ]Living Missile Ranged Basic Attack [ ]Bastion of Mental Clarity [ ]Hypnotic Pulse Dishearten [ ]Distract [ ]Mind Blast Betrayal [ ]Send Thoughts [ ]Healing Word Force Grasp [ ]Intellect Fortress [ ]Insightful Warning [ ]Mind over Flesh [ ]Prophecy of Doom Item Power At Will Encounter Daily [ ]ESP Medallion [ ]Staff of Psicraft [1]Orb of Stored Energy Conditionals - Malakhad and allies within 5 squares can't be surprised - Can spend one PP when rolling initiative to gain a +3 bonus - Rolls initiative twice and uses the better result - Save vs dazed, stunned, or dominated at the start of each turn instead of the end - Ranged attacks don't provoke OAs - Targets hit by a psychic power take -2 to their next attack roll - When attacking vs Will, deal +2 damage and the target takes -1 to its first save against the attack's effect - Two-way telephatic communication within 5 squares - Rolls Perception twice and uses the better result Thundarr fucked around with this message at 04:11 on Nov 14, 2013 |

After a minute or so, the doors burst open revealing a very angry looking elf woman who storms out of the room with a huff, pausing only briefly to give Ghorma a wicked glare. The guards catch their respective doors like this is a trick they've pulled a couple dozen times before and follow their boss out of the building. The secretary hazards a chuckle once she's sure Cazal is out of earshot and motions towards the door. "The Lord Commander will see you now." Iyan Ir'Talan stands staring out the window, his silent vigil interrupted only by a few drinks from whatever alcoholic beverage he's got. After the doors close he turns towards you.  "Well, you aren't exactly what I was expecting," he takes one last long swig from his glass before putting it on the desk and taking a seat, "I'm not sure if you're aware, but there's been a series of... bombings... in Lower Dura and the Cogs. Nothing really big was hit, mostly commercial wards after hours. Halamar just thought it was the gangs getting more creative with their protection rackets so he didn't put any weight behind the investigations. About four hours ago there was an explosion in Firelight, and some Noble's son who was... partaking of the local culture... got himself killed. So now a Scion died on Cazal's watch, Halamar's got egg on his face, and I'm about to get my rear end chewed out in front of the city council. You would have been brought in eventually, consider this a courtesy head start." He pulls out a bottle from under his desk and gives himself a refill. "If you have any questions, now's the time." Firelight is a rather notorious red light district in lower Menthis Plateau. It's proximal to many theaters and the Morgrave University giving it a bit of legitimacy, and is considered safer than any of the other Redlight districts since it's not in Dura.

Malakhad Before Malakhad could say anything, the doors burst open and Cazal came storming out. He turned to Enna and made a quick telepathic reply as the group was ushered into the Lord Commander's office: <Nothing is truly useless, even if its purpose isn't immediately obvious. You have to dig awfully deep to find the purpose of some men, though.> Inside the office, Malakhad waited until Ir'Talan had finished speaking. "Have any of the gangs in the area been known to use bombs in the recent past? If not, are there any indications that someone new is trying to muscle their way in?

Anodyne And now he had officers with their heads stuck up their asses. It really was the old days all over again. "Have the scenes at least been sealed off? Any reports from witnesses or victims' relatives, or bomb pieces recovered? And do we have permission to actually arrest the ones responsible, or just make them promise to only kill peasants?"

"No, the only gangs with the kind of pull to run operations in Dura, the cogs, and Menthis are the Boromar Clan, and House Tarkanan. Boromar would hopefully know better than to bring the Menthis Watch into Dura's private little war, and Tarkanan would have made a statement by now. If it's someone new they're keeping quiet." He turns to look at the Warforged, looking him up and down a few times before speaking. "Your positions in SWAT give you the authority to arrest anyone in any district. That doesn't mean that you can just go arrest everyone in Sharn and let Aureon sort it out. Do your investigation, figure out who's doing this, and bring them in. Alive if possible, the council wants their pound of flesh and I'd rather it not come out of the watch's hide."

"The Book officers can't tell really, there are some characteristics of both. I'm sure one of them could talk your ear off for hours about what that actually means. As far as the scene itself it has been cordoned off and there are officers posted, but the Menthis watch removed the bodies. I can have a clerk meet you at the scene with sketches but any examination of today's bodies will be cursory until the families of the deceased identify them and declare their intent to raise them from the dead or not."

Enna Well, that didn't take long to come back and bite her in the rear end. And just when she'd hoped to stay out of Halamar's gaze for awhile. "Have we identified the victim? The important one, the Scion who's the reason we're in here. Perhaps more importantly, have we identified the next of kin, the noble?"

"He's from House Cannith, according to his signet ring. Silaena was of the mind that that was important enough, and she's mostly right. There are probably other up and comers amongst the wounded as well, but that's in House Jorasco's hands, not mine. All in all there are five dead, two shopkeepers, the Cannith scion, another passer by and one of the customers at the shop."

Jerac Already it sounded like there was more going on here than they were being told. The house Scion was a high profile target, drawing the kind of attention most would shy away from. 'It's possible that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time and one of the other victims was the ultimate goal...' Jerac then mentally scolded himself, allowing conjecture to take hold before facts were gathered. "Come, let us make haste while the crime scene is still fresh." Jerac declared as he walked out of the office, purpose driving his pace.

The Lord Commander spins a sheet of paper around on his desk and shoves it towards whoever is closest. Here's the address. Bring me back some good news, all our heads might rest on it. --- The Firelight district is uncharacteristically quiet this evening. No lanterns burn in the windows, no ladies beckon to the passers by, only the faint roar of activity elsewhere sounds through the maze of towers. Hardly anyone actually lives here, and the days activities have driven away most of the usual clientele, so this is hardly surprising. What is surprising however is the absence of the one thing you are expecting to see, the officers that are supposed to be standing guard. When you're about to make the last corner towards the crime scene you hear a heavy wooden thud followed by barely audible harsh whispering.

Ghorma Ghorma had fallen silent for the Lord Commanders meeting, that look Cazel gave him was not so inspiring. The news that the Scion was dead on her watch was bad news; person who got him back in was already in trouble, not a good start. The case itself was interesting though, dead Scion and an explosion. Following along after the other four quietly Ghorma ran over his past encounters with the Clan and House Tarkanan in the cogs and Dura. The noise near the scene snapped him out of his mood quickly though. "Y'hear that? Someone already ruining the scene?" Sorry! Job craziness kept me from posting, wont happen again!

You can't hear anything wrong, maybe one of the guards just dropped something on his foot. As you turn the corner, you see an elf standing outside of the jewelry shop where the explosion happened. Through the hole in the shop wall you can see a couple of other half-elves picking through the rubble for something valuable. In one of the alleyways, their lookout catches eye of you and shouts  : "Boss! Company!" : "What? Oh Kyber! To arms!"Don't feel too bad, they didn't do any better.  Welcome to the Low Resolution part of town, sponsored by WOTC circa 2003 Since we've got a few feats and such that modify initiative I'll let you roll your own.

Really Pants posted:Arcana Monster Knowledge: 1d20+16 28 The elf standing outside the door looks familiar, you must have seen his wanted poster somewhere. Dharvek, a local thug with his fingers in a lot of pots. He's been through the system a few times, and has been known to kill when it suits him. But explosives aren't his style. Exploiting the suffering of others to make a quick buck? That he'll do. He's rumored to be a pretty good shot with a bow but he's got a few arcane tricks up his sleeves. The guys looting the building look to be brutes, their greatest asset being their mobility. The elf in the alleyway though, he looks like the kind of person who could charm water out of a lake.

"As you wish, your actions have been noted as being hostile towards the Sharn Watch and you will be dealt with accordingly..." Jerac spouted. His primary concern was the 'Boss' and his lieutenant. Seeing Malakhad deal with the other thugs so judicially, they weren't an immediate concern of his.

Ghorma As the Jerac makes for the group in the building Ghorma charges down the alley towards the lookout. If things go poorly he'll be the first to break and run; no chance of that happening with a blade buried in him. Storming the man Ghorma lets loose a bellowing roar as the axe comes down. Following the axes movement, he moves close to the elf and places a leg behind his. Tripping the lookout to the ground Ghorma digs the axe a little deeper before stepping back, a grin already on his face. Move: To O6. Standard: Charge to O10 and attack the lookout with Howling Strike vs AC: 1d20+18 37 1d12+2d6+9 19 2d6 7 for 26 total damage.

Enna As the men charge loudly into action, Enna emerges unseen, a silent blur across the street. Suddenly the lookout in the alley has two bolts in his side, and the woozy sensation of a damaged nerve somewhere. Move to L3 Darkstrider Ambush vs AC: 1d20+19 24 3d6+3d8+10 35 He's dazed, end my next turn. The only reason I hit is because I hosed up this attack roll very badly. It's a ranger attack so Orokos calculated it with my STR, and I was debating using my dual bolt but then realized I couldn't, after rolling for it. Actual bonus is +5 ability, +5 level, +2 weapon proficiency, +2 Master at Arms, +2 magic ammo, +2 CA, +1 sharpshooter talent Snap Shot vs AC: 1d20+18 32 1d6+17 18 pre:Enna Carreth HP: 74/74 (THP:0) AC: 24 Passive Insight: 25 Surges: 7/7 (V:18) For: 20 Passive Perception: 27 Initiative: +10 Ref: 26 Action Points: 1 Speed: 7 Will: 23 Encounter Daily Items [ ]Suprise Strike [ ]Spinning Blade Leap [ ]Boltshard Crossbow [ ]King's Castle [ ]Go For The Eyes [ ]Sacrificial Shortsword [ ]Tumble [ ]Knockout Blow [ ]Shadowdance Armor [ ]Low Slash [ ]Cape of the Mountebank [x]Snap Shot [ ]Acrobat's Escape [x]Darkstrider's Ambush [ ]Second Wind Basic Attacks Shortsword MBA: melee 1, +18 vs. AC, 1d6+8 Hand-xbow RBA: ranged 15/25, +19 vs. AC, 1d6+10 Piercing Strike: melee 1, +18 vs. Ref, 1d6+8, shift 2 on hit Sly Flourish: ranged 15/25 or melee 1, +18 vs. AC, 1d6+13 Gear Adventurer's Kit Glass Cutter Thieves' Tools (+2 Thievery to open lock or disable trap) Inquisitive's Kit (+2 Perception to search for something specific) Footpads (+1 Stealth to move silently) Camouflaged Clothing (+2 Stealth to blend in) Dual Arrow +2 x1 Spider Bolt +3 x2 Conditionals Sneak Attack: 1/turn, +3d8 damage to target granting CA Hunter's Quarry: 1/enc, designate nearest enemy as quarry until EOMNT; 1/turn, +2d6 damage to quarry Darkstrider's Edge: +7 damage against foes I'm hidden from or who haven't acted yet Sharpshooter Talent: +1 hit with crossbows Improved Cunning Sneak: When I end movement more than 2 squares away with concealment or cover, free Stealth check to hide Sense Threat: Allies with lower initiative than me gain +2 racial bonus Features Cunning Sneak (Improved): No penalty to Stealth for moving more than 2 squares.

Walker, you didn't say where you were moving so I put you someplace with a line of attack to the lookout. Three of the grunts working the shop over fall over senseless, the other two and their captain are looking rather concerned. The lookout, on the other hand, isn't looking too hot, what with two axe wounds and a couple of bolts sticking out of his side. : "You're out of your league, matchstick."Dharvek smirks at the Genasi and spins backwards, knocking two arrows as he does so and loosing them at Jerac. Twin Arrows vs AC: 1d20+19 34 2d6+4 11 1d20+19 27 11 total damage. : "What the hell man? Seriously? I'm just filling a paycheck!"He really does look rather pathetic for a lookout, you're probably better off directing your wrath elsewhere, after all you have an image to maintain. Disarming Smile vs Will: 1d20+13 27 2d6-2 5 Aegis of Shielding Triggered damage reduction already factored into the roll. Ghorma can't attack the Lookout (save ends, he gets an additional save if the lookout attacks him).  pre:Init Character AC Fort Ref Will Status -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 24 Ghorma 23 27 21 23 Cannot attack lookout(Save Ends) 24 Jerac 29 24 27 23 19 Enna 24 20 26 23 17 Malakhad 25 21 25 28 17 Dharvek 25 23 26 25 15 Lookout 23 21 21 21 Bloodied 12 Anodyne< 25 25 26 23 10 Captain 24 22 22 22 10 Grunts 23 21 22 21 Kurieg fucked around with this message at 00:29 on Nov 17, 2013 |

I guess it wouldn't affect my turn much. Sorry to doublepost, but I thought an edit might get overlooked. Anodyne "I'd worry more about the checks that your mouth is writing and your body can't cash, meatbag." Anodyne strides out into the plaza behind Ghorma, dispelling the charm with a quick rap on the dragonborn's shoulder. The end of his staff leaves an arc of glowing smoke in the air as he hauls back and cracks the smarmy lookout upside the head, releasing a burst of energy that leaves a faint halo on Ghorma's arms and weapon. Move: Walk to O-9. Minor: Swift Mender Save vs. Disarming Smile: 1d20 14 Standard: Magic Weapon vs AC: 1d20+18 37 Magic Weapon Crit Damage (Battle Staff): 16+2d8 19 Ghorma has a +1 power bonus to hit, +4 power bonus to damage rolls, and his axe is Brutal 1 until my next turn ends. The Lookout has -1 AC until my next turn ends, and takes 6 damage if he attacks me before my next turn starts. pre:Anodyne HP: 81/81 (THP: ) AC: 25 Passive Insight: 16 Surges: 10/10 (V:20) For: 25 Passive Perception: 16 Initiative: +5 Ref: 26 Action Points: 1 Speed: 6 Will: 23 Arcane Empowerment: 1 Residuum: 250 At Will Encounter Daily Magic Weapon [ ][ ]Healing Infusion [ ]Punishing Eye Thundering Armor [ ]Burning Weapons [ ]Corrosive Sigil [ ]Shocking Feedback [ ]Radiant Sigil [ ]Gale-Force Infusion [ ]Sigil of Luck [ ]Greater Magic Weapon [ ]Battle Staff [ ]Jolt Flask [X]Swift Mender [ ]Aqua Regia [ ]Warforged Resolve [ ]Second Wind Conditionals Warforged Resilience: +2 to saving throws vs. ongoing damage effects Arcane Rejuvenation: Any ally who uses a magic item daily power gains 10 temporary HP Brutal Enchantment: Any bonus to damage rolls granted by me also makes your weapons (but not implements) Brutal 1 for the duration.
