Chp. 2: The Adventure Continues...

[Zhym]

Boddin rushes to the window. If the doppelganger is still visible, Boddin fires an arrow at it.

Bow: [1d20+2] = 10+2 = 12 Damage: [1d6] = 4

Has Boddin hit anything since he joined the campaign?

[wolfpack]

Its injured and bleeding, let us get it.

eli will run and grab bow and arrows and run downstairs to where he saw the creature land.

[The-Dungeon-Shaker]

"Get him! I'll be there in a minute."

Wulfhart rushes to his room to put some clothes on. He also grabs his gold, his shield, and gets back to the party outside.

[jdluna]

Luna pursues the shapeshifter in his skivvys, using his infravision to track him.

[FreebirdFootbagging]

Fingal hastily follows his comrades outside, feeling dissapointed in himself. He inquires whoever he meets rushing out of the hall, (presumably Wulfhart?) and states, Sorry for my late arrival, what exactly have I missed? I noticed blood in the hall.

[Grognardsw]

As his comrades give chase, Boddin fires one arrow before the creature rounds a corner. His arrow is close but misses. As the other adventurers exit the Green Man Inn, Boddin is able to give the direction the shapeshifter ran.

Luna please make an Int. check to see if you can “track”/sight the doppleganger. It took time to exit the inn, you may have lost it even though you have the general direction from Boddin.

I’ve seen a week of bad rolls across different campaigns. Boddin is not alone in his rolls.

Int Check: [1d20] = 20

[Grognardsw]

Pursuit!

Luna and the others rush out of the inn. The shapeshifter is nowhere to be seen.“That way!” yells Boddin from the window, pointing to the left down the lane. The adventurers follow the hobbit’s direction, but don't see the creature. The little street continues straight. At 60’ it turns left, and also continues ahead another 70’ to the Keep’s wall, where you can also turn left (see map). You see a drunk old man staggering along at 50’, and a harlot servicing a customer in a little alley to the right at 80’.

Map:

Building #10 is the inn. You exit through the double doors. Boddin’s left if actually right, looking at the map. The harlot is in the little alley between the last two #7's on the right.

[wolfpack]

Eli looks to try and spot a blood trail.

Eli please roll a 1d20. Any others searching also roll.

[Zhym]

His usefulness in directing traffic from the window exhausted, Boddin runs downstairs (pausing to collect spent arrows on the way) to join the rest of the party.

[NJWilliam]

Bayard, cleric

Not thrilled about being injured without the aid of his companions nearby, Bayard follows his companions out of the inn.

Eli please roll a 1d20. Any others searching also roll.

[1d20] = 2

[The-Dungeon-Shaker]

-Wulfhart Asgeirsson, fighter-

Arrives just on time, hastily dressed up .

"You did hurt him, blood has been spilled. I have to find stains."

[1d20] = 16

[Grognardsw]

The adventurers spread out searching for a trail. Eli's infravision picks up the faint heat from recent blood drops. They lead around the corner (between building #8 and 9). You follow and around the corner about 60' away you see a woman talking to three Keep guards. She's pointing in your direction.

[Zhym]

Boddin (assuming he's been able to rejoin his colleagues) shouts at the guards, "Police! Er, guards! Sirs! Please stop her! She's a shapechanger—er, we think! Pretty sure! She attacked our friend! If it was her!"

Boddin will never be called upon as a trial witness.

[Grognardsw]

The three guards draw their swords, blow a loud whistle, and move toward the adventurers. The woman they were talking to moves to the west until she is out of sight behind the corner of the building on your left (#9).

Map:

The red dot is the party. The black dot was where the woman and guards were talking. The guards are now half-way to you. The woman moved in direction of purple, now out of sight from your line of vision.

[FreebirdFootbagging]

Fingal

I'm unsure about the rest of you but I would rather not have the deaths of town guards resting on my records. I'll watch from nearby, and react accordingly. Fingal then attempts to meld into the shadows, drawing his dagger and being careful to conceal it enough to prevent any unwanted gleaming.

1d100 roll for hide in shadows: 89

[wolfpack]

She is getting away stop her, she stole the innkeeps cashbox! Eli says pointing at the old lady.

[Grognardsw]

As the three guards approach the party one of them says, "The woman claimed you attacked and tried to rape her. On your side I hear two different stories. Lay down your weapons and come with us."

In response to the whistle another two guards come from behind you from the west and the east. One of these spots Fingal in the shadows. "You too," he says.
