Masters of Eothia 1-20

Son’t worry about initiative, just have your go however you see fit and we’ll do it in rounds.

currently, the situation involves Rosli surrounded by smoke and the others are within movement of the smoke cloud.

Dani was unable to detect the enemy via sound,

Crispy (stealth: 12) is able to spot a flash of steel and a figure in the smoke with her keen eye! Right in the doorway!

Rosli is trying to help Yasei somehow while surrounded in a cloud of smoke..? 

Yasei powders her nose at advantage.

(have a turn everyone, you’ve spotted one attacker)

Oh lord, I assumed we were all in smoke. Rosli will just hold her action if the "attacker" comes close to try and grab onto it.

Haha Afro’s silly comments haha!

”THERE!” Crispy barked, spotting the glint of steel. Still got it, *****. She attacked.

Main Attack: 22 Damage: 8

Offhand Attack: 13 Damage: 1

Sneak dmg: 9

Danica quickly struck where Cora indicated.

Attack: 21 Damage: 7

Attack: 15 Damage: 9

Attack: 11 Damage: 9

Yasei closes her eyes, and relies solely on her acute bad-dude aura sensory organs (it's a samurai thing, trust me....) and rapidly attacks where she senses one of the invisible enemy may be using her samurai Fighting Spirit (which gives her advantage on the attack, effectively cancelling out the disadvantage due to their invisibility):

 Katana Attack: 10 Damage: 5

Wakizashi Attack: 25 Damage: 8

Watatsumi turns himself invisible, and then swoops up high into the air and casts Mirror Image onto Cora.  Suddenly, instead of one Cora, there are now four Coras prancing around the room.....or maybe frolicking around the room?  Sulking around?  Regardless, there are now 4 Coras.  See the spell info on how to roll every time someone attacks Cora, to see if they attack the real Cora, or one of her mirror images.

Crispy's eyebrow shoots up in shock. "Four times the trouble. I like it. Stop hiding you piece of shit coward, we got the room covered!"

Rosli is going to pull out her boomerang from the side of her bag and throw it into the smoke opposite side of the voices of her friends (and Cora)

Attack: 12 Damage: 5 Boomerang (wish me luck)

OOC: I too like to gamble, let's see if she can catch it

8 Perception or insight to try and hear/assume the catch 19 (probably disadvantaged)

Okay! In a smokey huddle, a body closest to Rosli hits the fround with a dull thud and a gurgling of blood in the throat after Cora and Dani hit it. One down. How many more to go?

Yasei senses a presence on the edge of the cloud and dashes over, finding purchase with her offhand sword. Rosli’s bookerang flies out of the smoke cloud, taking with it a thin trail of smoke. It richochets off two walls and Rosli manages to catch it within her stride, trusting the technique.

You all take a moment to sense, trying to hear where the other assailant is. It’s quiet. Yasei hears a slight rustle of clothing off to her left and the drawing of a blade!

Attack: 6 Damage: 5

”You will not stop him. We are the ‘All Seing Stars’ in the night sky. We know your every move!”

y’all up. Seems to only ne one left.

Ooof!  They blade slices right into Yasei's arm, drawing a copious amount of blood out with it.  That's going to leave a mark!

Pinwheeling around, Yasei immediately counterattacks (using her samurai Fighting Spirit again, offsetting the disadvantage):

Katana Attack: 25 Damage: 12

Wakizashi Attack: 13 Damage: 7

Using Action Surge, she'll take another attack:

Attack: 18 Damage: 8

And finally, as a bonus action, she'll use her fighter's Second Wind skill and heal herself 11 hit points.

The Katana cross cut strikes true! A spray of blood and another thus of a body hitting the floor. All goes quiet save the panting and grimacing of Yasei. A few moments pass, and the smoke clears, revealing two individuals clad in black robes with the mark of an eye tattoos on their necks.

If searched, you find another 6x egg bombs, 4x throwing knives and a blow gun with 8 needles which seem to be poison tipped.

You find yourselves in this... whatwseems to be a planning room, with maps, charcoal drawings and red twine connecting places and portraits of people. Seems like this rogue hunter's guild was set on overthrowing/ sabotaging the existing guild and it's members.

What would you like to do?

I look at the faces of the dead bodies, see if they have any additional markings.

Investigation: 7
Insight: 19

Then I walk over to the desk and start looking and reading - seeing if any of it makes sense, trying to find a connection.

Investigation: 25
Insight: 9

Seeing this as an excellent opportunity to make a strong ally with the "true" guild, Yasei will grab a blank sheet of parchment and a writing utensil, and start copying as much as she can of the people & places & string setup.  Once that is complete, she'll pack-mule it again, and start gabbing everything she can possibly find in the room and stuff it into her pack (with the intent of handing it all over to the guild).

She'll also grab the 6x egg bombs and 4x throwing knives, and offer the blow gun and needles to Dani - "here, my friend, you could surely find appropriate use of this magnificent weapon!"

"Good to see you're still good with a blade, Yasei." Cora admits. "I know I could always count on you. Too bad you don't remember anything we ever did together."

Crispy's heart sank a bit at that notion.

As she's busy packing up all the items in the room, Yasei casually mentions to Cora "who is this Chubby-san you spoke of earlier?"

Crispy was silent for a while before answering, lost and drunk in the memory of her old friend. She smiled sadly.

"He was the closest thing to a father I ever had. We..spent years together adventuring. Years." She smiled and snorted in a quick laugh. "He was always so.." She choked up a bit. "..protective of me. I would give anything to see him again. Anything. He left to your county and I never saw him again. I never got a chance to tell him how much I loved him, to thank him for everything he did for me. He was one of the few people in my life that treasured me for who I really was, and took care of me when I couldn't. He was my strength when I was weak, and was my wisdom when I was blind. He killed for me, and I killed for him."

Overwhelmed with emotion, Crispy stopped talking, and spent the rest of the silence trying to hold back tears.

"...how I miss him...I never got to say goodbye."

Not saying a word but nodding towards Yasei, Rosli will do what Rosli does best by searching the room for traps, anything hidden or of value

20 Perception

Someone needs a HUG!

Yasei will quietly walk over to where Cora is silently sobbing, and embrace her in a huge loving bear hug.

Crispy accepts the hug. It had been many years since she felt Yasei's embrace..even though this wasn't the Yasei that spent a lifetime with her after Chubby had died.

She hated this place, and wanted to leave.

To go home.

But..Aerik..

Danica quietly thanked Yasei for the blowgun and needles. "Yes, these will do quite well when we need to be stealthy." She agreed.
