nat 1 really?

(OOC: Nobody's action from here unchanged.)

Kissa watches from where she crouches, her rapier out and ready if someone should attack her. She's trying to make sense of what she sees...

Thufir chases after the nearest false friend, hoping to knock them out to question later.

Attack: 23 Damage: 11
Attack: 16 Damage: 16

Quote from Mehmen >>

(To Stormbringer: It just now registered to me that you mentioned the other Nobody being heavily obscured. So, I couldn't have targeted him with MM last time. If you want to keep things as-is that's fine. Otherwise the one from last time can just be redirected to fake Fargen, or at least the Fargen without a shield and weapon.)

Although the wiser choice would be to aid the others in pursuing the more visible Fargen, Nobody's fury was such that the thought is but an annoying buzz at the back of his mind as he continued to charge after his own doppleganger, or at least where he saw the fake last.

 

Movement/Action: Rushing to get up into melee with Other Nobody. 

Or if he's hidden from last round completely, he'll spend action first to try and search for him, getting a 6. Before then moving as close as he can after him.

Kissa holds her action

Nobody I'll allow you to keep the MM attack or you can dash. You'll note a faceless dark humanoid (Fake Fargen) glowing from fargens spelll as you dash along the way towards the F Nobody you get 10ft away (Or, You will stop at the FF if you keep the MM attack).

Thufir, gets to the Fake Fargen but FF is already down do you still attack? The fake nobody is 15ft away (I'm not ignoring your attacks but the initiative order is.)

 

 Fargen <---

Fargen continues his pursuit of false Nobody.  He sends his spiritual weapon 30' feet and moves 25' to attack, either with his warhammer if in melee range otherwise a guiding bolt.

Spiritual weapon: 18 Damage: 8

Warhammer: 25 Damage: 9

Guiding bolt:: 27 Damage: 36

The false nobody dies.

Your out of combat.

Looking at the bodies Thufir says, "It's too bad we couldn't keep them alive to ask what the hell they were doing..." He then will help anyone to search their camp sight for clues.

Kissa creeps out of hiding, " Anyone injured? What the hell was that about? How did you know who was who?"

Fargen responds, “My copy is just knocked out. Bind and blind-fold it and we may get some answers.  I have some pain, but nothing I can’t sleep off.”

Nobody, after stabbing his own copy a couple of more times for good measure, turned back to Kissa scowling and all but bearing his teeth. But then just as abruptly as he'd shown aggression, the tiefling appeared to calm down and even looked a bit shame faced. "I-I-I... I-I can't speak for the rest. But I imagine between my flinging spells and wielding this-" He holds out his rapier with the ruby pomel. "It gave me some credit at least. Plus-..."

He looked away with cheeks brightening a bit. "I-I'm not exactly known for getting... ph-ph-physical with folks in the way the other did." At any looks of confusion from Kissa, Nobody puplled back his sleeves revealing the scrawny arms beneath them. Nobody then turned to Fargen with a frown. "I-I-I don't think its such a good idea. K-k-keeping him... i-it alive. Those -things- appear not only capable of assuming other forms, but reading minds a-and... I'm sure they never saw me, but they were able to sense me I think. Th-that's why it stepped to strike before running away. Probably was even hoping to hide, take me out, and then take my place once I-I ran off after it... in the dark... in the foliage." He grimaces. "I-If anything, if it manages to slip away after reading our thoughts, and learning what we know, it might e-even try to warn those other guys."

Fargen nods. “I agree.  If it can change shape, it could change to a child, escape its bonds, and kill again. They admitted their crime. That is enough for me to serve as judge and executioner.”

Fargen brings his warhammer down on his double’s chest, ending its blight on this world.

”Let’s search their camp.”  Perception with guidance: 20

Edit: Too many windows open.

Frangipani ? Misses again lol

 ( Too many Tabs)

With the final blow, the creatures turn into dark gray faceless things, bodies devoid of any features that would be distinct including clothing. Looking over the campsite, you find the shallow graves of ten adults a a child on the outskirts.

In the Vistani like Wagon, you find 200gp worth of jewelry, a months worth of rations, 4 hooded lanterns, and a 100gp rug and pillows.  Around the fire you find an Iron cauldron and a Iron frying pan, two draft horses nearby

Fargen turns to Nobody, "I'd like to borrow your quill and write a letter to the cleric Godfrey about the bodies here.  It'd be wise to avoid too many questions by the local authorities as we best be on our way with the caravan tomorrow.   I wouldn't feel right taking wedding rings of slain wives.  We should send them to him to be claimed by kin or held in trust for burial services. The fancier stuff, we'll claim in pursuit of riding the world of such monstrosities.  Let's take the horses with us.  We could likely sell them among the caravan. We'll let Godfrey handle the wagon and wares or grab what you can carry if it meets your fancy.  Don't think we need to drive another wagon while hired to protect one."

Back at camp, Fargen writes the letter to Godfrey, describing the monstrosities encounter, the location of the wagon and graves.  He requests a period when they may be identified and their kin could claim any wedding rings.  He entrusts the temple to disperse the wares as he deems fit.  He then takes a short rest, focusing on the pearl of power to attune to it.

2 HD: 9 healing

Kissa feels a little ashamed she did not assist her new friends but the likelihood of her attacking the wrong person had held her back.  She had never heard of shape-changing creatures like that before and was happy not to see them ever again.

She elected to sit watch so the others could rest.

"At least we've given these souls a rest..." Thufir says in agreement with Fargen's thoughts, ready to head back and crash for the evening. This was not the type of fun he had been expecting.
