Guild of Guilds.

Priton - (Added a homebrew version of it)

Tyr and Hermenor hold back in the shadows. 

Priton and Ragnir approach from behind.  The figure seems to be very busy going over the papers on the desk.  Scribbling on one hastily then side stepping and picking up an object to place on another piece.  “It must be here some place... we are so close.” He speaks out with a sharp and raspy voice.

Ragnir and Priton are 10 feet away, you can see this dark elf tall and gaunt.  Silver hair flows down into his robe, ears pointing through showing his gray, ash like skin.

Tyr draws his swords and nods as he moves in the shadows keeping watch on his companions.

[OOC] stealth check: 27

Ragnir very slowly and lightly presses his longsword into the guy's back. (like a poke, sorta like pressing a gun against someone's back. [just trying to make it clear im not stabbing the guy])

Ragnir: (to the figure) "Hands up slowly, and then turn around."

Intimidation: 15 (if applicable)

The elf stands completely still,  lifting both arm up.  The gravely words come out “You have my attention.”

Ragnir: (to the elf) "Who are you, and what are you doing here?"

The elf begins to slowly turn around to face you (if allowed). A pencil thin mustache forms into a goatee covering his pointed chin.  Faint blue eyes look towards Ragnir as the sword stays pointed on his chest.

”I am Tyriel, lead chief at the excavation efforts here.  I must warn you it has proven quite treacherous.”

(it is allowed)

Ragnir: (to Tyriel) "Explain this excavation."

(i would like to insight to see if that is his real name.)

Insight: 10

Hermenor will approach the drow through the shadows, strategically keeping a distance of about 45 feet between himself and Tyriel. For a moment, he will take his eyes off his potential target to try and see if there are any other threats around (perception: 18).

Ragnir - He looks hard to read, although not much signs of age; he has enough experience to keep a good poker face.  He may be used to this sort of encounter, but there isn’t anything tell specifically that would let you know he was being dishonest about his name.

“We were sent here because we believe that there is a powerful and evil artifact that is the root to all the poison and suffering in this land.  We are here to locate it, remove it, and restore peace” his eyes narrow and dart around the room, first to Priton and then seeing if anythone else is in the room.

19

locking eyes with Hermenor “Ah, I see we have another guest, do come and please put that sword down... I mean no harm.”

(Tyr is still hidden)

Hermenor - you see around the room a shelf on the opposite side, some scattered equipment and tomes, a small red gem.  A hallway splits off to the right - the continued pinging of work isn’t steadily coming down the tunnel.  A blue spherical stone sits on the table next to a dagger.  You’re unable to make out what the papers say

Ragnir: (to Tyriel) "For sake of argument, say i believe you and i put my weapon away, what would you do?"

“I would be quite relieved, but tell me: if you are not here to kill me then why are you here?”

Tyriel slowly lowers his arms down to his sides.

Ragnir lightly pokes him with the longsword.

Ragnir: (to Tyriel) "For someone at sword point you don't follow directions very well. I didn't say you could put your hands down. Did you pass through the nearby village?"

Tyriel raises his hands back up from his sides.

”I am sorry Sir, you are the one I charge.  I am unfamiliar with any towns nearby.  I heard of an encampment of forest people relatively near here, but have not had the pleasure to visit.  This project takes up a lot of my time you see.  Is that village where you are from?  May I ask the identity of the man threatening me?”

Ragnir: (to Tyriel) "I am Ragnir Strongheart, and you can consider yourself a temporary prisoner of the guild...." Ragnir turns to his companions "...assuming no one has a problem with that?" Ragnir continues.

As Ragnir turns his head towards the group “I must command otherwise.

Ragnir saving throw: 18

Priton saving throw: 8

Seeing Priton’s eyes glaze over with a purple haze, Tyriel says “Grapple!”

Priton grapple attempt; 24

Ragnir’s escape attempt: 5

Priton grabs a hold of Ragnir and in the confusion of the scuffle Tyriel grabs the dagger and blue stone.  The stone begins to glow with a brighter hue.  As he runs down the corridor further into the mine.

(Hermenor, Tyr -reactions? Also Ragnir would get an attack of opportunity if he chooses at disadvantage)

Hermenor gives chase, allowing his sash's gem to sparkle into action. If he can reach the drow, he will attempt to punch him:

-> Running punch (unarmed strike) vs. Tyriel: Attack: 23 Damage: 9 magical bludgeoning.

(OOC: Hermenor has 45 speed. If that is not enough to reach the drow, but Hermenor can still get with 20 feet of him, please consider the attack above a dart attack instead. You'd just need to subtract 1 from the attack roll and 1 from the damage roll. If Hermenor cannot even get within 20 feet of him, he'll just dash to catch up.)

Tyr lunges as the man from the shadows attacking him with both of his short swords.

[OOC:]

If needed to reach him Tyr will use his racial ability Feline Agility to double his movement speed.

Attack 1: 11 Damage: 9

Sneak Attack Damage: 8

Attack 2: Attack: 12 Damage: 8

Ragnir will try to attack Tyriel before he gets away.

Reaction: Opportunity Attack: 9 (attack with longsword/slashing)

Damage: (if it hits) 9 (slashing damage)

Narrowly dodging the attack from Ragnir as he attempts his escape, the dark elf is not as lucky as he his assaulted by Hermenor and Tyr.  Landing hard blows, Tyriel looks to be in really rough shape.  He turns and smile as blood drips out the corner of his mouth.  The stone glows brighter and with a flash he disappears.  

Seconds later you hear a bell begin to ring from deeper within the cave.  A low rhythmic toll.  The clanging of pitchforks stops all together as the echoes of the bell begin to fade.

"Ah damn..." Hermenor sighs "From stealth to full on alarm in seconds... Get ready boys. Should we run outside?"
