"Ok, I'm hopin we don't find anythin of the sort... I've never been too keen on any of that magic stuff, even the stuff our priest uses sometimes. Gives me the creeps it does." Combing through the graveyard seems to yield no results. Just as you're about to give up and head back to town, you find 4 open graves at the far edge of the cemetery, coffins fully exposed, though still shut. Raul cautiously takes a step back, "I know i aint seen this here last week. We been lucky lately, haven't had a burial for almost a month, so this ain't my doin. I don't know who's behind this but i ain't got a good feelin about anyone diggin up our graves. Don't seem like graverobbers neither, they tend to leave the coffins open or refill the plots..."

 [Miri Tallstag] [HP: 9/9][AC: 13] [Hit Dice: 1d8][Hero Points: 5/5] In an instant the relief she felt was gone. How in any of the nine hells did this man not know what was going on? Miri hoped that Emile was hearing all of this as well. There would be much to investigate soon, and to have her ask too many questions would ruin the (thus far successful) ruse. "The message did not explain much. It simply provided me a time table. Three days after Armistice Day, I was to meet you. Four days after Armistice Day, the message simply said 'Ghalt.'Six days post Armistice Day, it instructed me to return for further orders. R signed it." She paused for a moment, thankful that her confusion mirrored her companion's. "Were you told anything?"

Miri/Emile Orin continues walking with Miri along the roads towards the cemetery. "I wasn't told much at all. I don't even know who this "R" person is, I never met them; everything's been through dead drops and couriers, I know it's them by that weird eye mark on everything. Made a pretty big promise though, gonna wipe away all my debts. Said they'd settle down those gangs that want me dead too. That's too good to pass up, you know? Anyway, all I know is I was supposed to meet some "J" person tomorrow with that call sign , and that we're supposed to raise a bunch of skeletons and attack the temple in the middle of mass in a couple days. Cause a bunch of panic, kill some people maybe, then fade away and go to that meeting spot in Passage for payment and to find out what to do next." The two of you enter the graveyard and begin skirting along the edge of it, hoping to stay far enough away from the path that you wouldn't be noticed by anyone who happens paying respects. "Oh, and I know this has to work. If it doesn't, I'm dead. So it either goes down or I die trying. If the gangs don't get me, I know whoever this person is will." He pauses a second before adding, "and I guess I know that your first leg worked too, or you wouldn't be here talking to me. So at least you're a bit seasoned, right?" Suddenly, Orin stops dead in his tracks. "poo poo," he mutters under his breath. He seems to have noticed the rest of the party and the gravedigger "poo poo! Who are they? They can't know..." He runs forward, shouting to Miri as he goes, "Come on, lets go! They can't get back to town after this!" Look Around You fucked around with this message at 07:50 on Sep 1, 2015 |

Just Emile [HP:10/10][AC:14] [Hero Points:3] She'd heard enough. Looking like she'd have to dress up in drag after convincing the guard here to send out fake messages about a successful attack. Actually she'd rather stay in the shadows like before, even what little acting she had to do earlier to throw Orin off her trail at the tavern had been risky, and her life wasn't even at stake. At any rate, he couldn't be allowed to escape. She moves into position and fires at the back of his knee, hopefully putting an end to his days as a would be terrorist. shortbow sneak attack from stealth: 2d20k1+5 19 2d6+3 9

 [Grace] [HP:10/10][AC:14] [Hit Dice: 1d8/1d8] [Hero Points:5] As Orin appears, Grace turns quickly to Raul. "RUN! BRING THE LAW, WE'LL HOLD HIM HERE," then he draws his sword and points to Orin. "YOUR MACHINATIONS OF TERROR END H- AH!" He steps away as Orin shoots dark energy and the dead begin to rise from their graves. He looks to Rogar, "SWING TRUE, MAN. I CHARGE." He then voices a metallic growl and charges around the headstones, out of the reach of any grasping hands, and makes a two-handed swing at the necromancer. quote:Bonus Action: ----------------- [Superiority Dice: 1d6/1d6(Commander's Strike, Precision Strike)] Spells(DC 13): 1st level(2/2) Inspiration Dice: 2d6/3d6 Status effects: none

She rushed towards the melee, deciding instead that more...strict methods of information gathering could be applied later. However, Orin couldn't be properly dealt with until these skeletons were incapacitated... move to l17 and use eldritch blast on skeleton [e12]: 1d20+5 17 1d10 2 EDIT: oops, forgot something kinda important there...

 [Elorin Occasio] [HP:8/8][AC:12 (+2 half cover = 14)] [Party Tracker] Elorin is completely blindsided by the attack from a random duo. (Does he recognize Miri under the getup [Y/N]? nope.) Just as he's about to shout a word of warning to his friends, Emile comes out of nowhere to bury an arrow into the angry man's knee, the angry man summons some wicked-looking skeletons, and the unknown woman appears to attack the newly-raised skeletons with dark magic. The whole thing is just very confusing. But everybody seems to agree that the skeletons are bad news, which corroborates with what he remembers of the attack on Bluevine. So Elorin quickly decides that there is a clear course of action here: kill it (again) with fire, then run and hide while the people who seem to know what's going on sort out the rest. Elorin lifts his trusty spatula, and puts the full force of his will behind the searing flames that spout from it's end. quote:- Attack skeleton at F12. Firebolt: 12hit, 10dmg.

"Come on, Grace!" he says to himself, "this is child's play!" It was a bit weird to turn the power of his heart into himself, but he was the one that needed it most right now. Renewed, he looks back at his enemy. "You thought you would go up against some defenseless farmers, did you? We've already killed one like you. Another will be easy."

The best she could do, she thought, was do her best to end the fight quickly - and perhaps Orin could be plied into helping once all was said and done.

[Elorin Occasio] [HP:8/8][AC:12 (+2 half cover = 14)] [Party Tracker] Watching from his safe cover, Elorin is thrilled to see that the skeletons are slain, the necromancer is surrounded, and the woman is an ally - probably the disguise that was discussed for Miri (which was unfortunately beyond Elorin's feeble sketching abilities). His companions are now quite clearly trying to bludgeon the man unconscious, which seems the likely outcome at this point, so Elorin decides to hasten the progress. Running closer to the action, Elorin shouts "We know who you are and what you're planning. You can talk to us in peace now, or you can be thrashed by the mob of that our friend went to raise shortly and then submitted to a truth spell anyways." Elorin wasn't sure that any of that was completely true, but it was probably close enough to work. "We're not interested in you, but your information is valuable to us. This is your last chance to capitalize on that value for some leniency." quote:- Move to i5 - [UNLIMITED "REACTION": spend a luck point (described here) when a successful attacker's natural (unmodified) attack roll is a 16-20 to roll an addition 1d20 and use the lowest]. - [REACTION: Cast "Shield" if hit with a successful attack from 12-16 (after modifiers) or magic missile] -------------------------------------------------------- Limited: bolts (20/20), Hero pts (3/5) , Luck pts (3/3), Tide of Chaos (1/1), Hit Dice (1/1, 1d6) Spells (DC 14): 1st (2/2) status effects: none memory: attacked!

[Elorin Occasio] [HP:14/14][AC:12] [Party Tracker] Elorin steps out from behind the gravestone and intercedes supplements Grace's blunt-force directives with his own admonishments, pointedly flipping open his tome and retrieving his pen to take notes. "I wold listen to the warforged if I were you. You are clearly willing to die for your cause. Perhaps you could explain to us what you found so persuasive. The best outcome for you here is to convince us that your actions are justified, or otherwise, to explain why you are involved in it."

He feels that, if luck is on the party's side today, the man won't pass up an opportunity to affirm his own correctness. quote:- Help Grace Persuade the man to spill his guts.
