This thread begins the next leg of the game, where GM (likely unsuccessfully) teaches of the wonders of rare-meat. Yes, I know Trump IRL likes his steak well-done, and to me that alone is evidence of controlled opposition. I still support the man, but dammit. Rare meat is the finest you can ever taste, satisfying immediate/basic hunger needs better than well meat, but also satisfying more primal urges and evolution. Remember, meat is only unsanitary if it is old or processed through a slaughter-house with poor quality control.
Enough about meat, lets get back to the game. Infernius is attempting to Leeroy Jenkins at the orcs, except that he has to climb a rope ladder to do so (cloven hooves = slower climbing). Tracy mulls about a very closed for business city that has cannons on the south-face, not yet realizing that unless she wants to go Nightmare (and thus ethereal but also glowing-in-the-dark) she's SOL.

>>24263>>24264This. Nice try though.
Leaping out the entrance (I assume) Infernius calls on Uatchit, who surf-boards him to the outer perimeter of the stalls. It never occurred before, but the stalls are situated so there is no immediate access to the center.
The bald-guy runs up to Infernius. "Yes Habibi, I see you are hurried. What can I help you with today?"
Tracy get's up goes to order the materials for a cloak.
>>24270He slaps you on the back, disturbing your concentration.
"Habibi! Are you alright? You started muttering to yourself and you lost focus!"
>>24272"me look for a quick coin any jobs around here, sexy?
im trying to make him distracted lets hope this dont backfire.
>>24274>sexy"Whoa there Habibi! I don't know what you're thinking but noooooo. That is bad juju!"
>>24275"sorry me bad at engrish me just simple minotuar what me say?"
>>24276"I understand. (he doesn't) Can I interest you in some cookware?"
>>24277"look man i dont have time in fact.can i ask you some questions about a interesting topic?"
*flashes sheriff swastika*
>>24278"I see you are busy, I will leave you then," he defers.
Aside from some background conversation, nothing strikes Infernius as immediately interesting or significant.
>>24279"hey come back here i need your help."
>>24281"Yes of course Habibi, I only wish to be of assistance. What can I help you with?"
>>24282"have you seen anything suspicious around here? any strange knife ears?"
>>24283"Suspicious? Oh no, nothing like that. Knife ears? Do you mean cuttings of ears with knife? That sounds very bad, I know of no knifing of ears."
>>24284"okay thanks for your cooperation, and just so you know i dont think your sexy."
after that i go to one of the stalls kinda close but not too close to the mad arabs stall then i cast detect evil and detect magic, after that i go to the police station and get a posse for assistance.
>>24285There's bits of magic immediately detectable from your position at the bazaar, and a number of 'pings' on the ebil radar. Then you go to the police station, which is happy to help. "Just say the word"
Thez <whooof> is back in the stables, leaning against one of the eggs. "This is nice."
>>24287i have them detain the ebil chars.
and i have the stealthy one watch the arab.
then i cast find the path to find the location i saw in muh vision.
>>24288*still in a daze, cheeks flushed red*
"~Hmmmmm.. I know, right.."
>>24289Okay now, easier said than done. You cast detect evil and detect magic, THEN went to the police station. All you would have gotten is the impression that there was some magic and some evil in the area (the efficacy of detect magic depends on how many rounds spent casting/concentrating, which with an immediate contrary action leads me to conclude "Not much".
So, before leaving to the police station, I have Infernius getting only the briefest confirmation that - yes - there is both magic and evil intermixed among the bazaar. Locating and tracking either will take more time, effort, and coordination in/with the police, if Infernius really wants to start rounding up.
>>24291i have my men form a perimeter around me then i concentrate on detecting the evil guys.
[1d20 = 2]>>24292There's fewer than there were before.
"Habibi! There you are! What is the meaning? I am told there is a police force preventing customers from entering!"
>>24291>>24293"the bazar is under investigation. you will be compensated." my pc decided to update. sorry
Does the library have any books on soccer?
Can I Cleave Sneak Attacks?
I wanted to rank up religious knowledge ranks and find potential clues to an ebil artifact though..
>>24300Fae can dispose of it alongside the tarasque remains
>>24301Then she'd better rank up her knowledge in the area too, because some of those thinks can have catastrophic effects if not disposed of properly.
Tracy decides to quit reading, and splays herself out across the egg-bed, sighing in contempt as she finally begins to relax and doze off (after like three nights of insomnia).
>>24309After a lengthy search through the bazaar very little is found that is against any laws or regulations, and of those the police are unable to determine anything related to the missing gold.
Find the path leads toward the middle of the bazaar, but no apparent leads to where the gold has gone (its been moved, and hastily at that, but there's so many magic signatures in and around the area that its impossible to narrow in on this or that).
>>24311Fairly easily, there are no real "walls" to the bazaar, only pseudo-structures of blankets and skins. The middle was never 'off limits', it was just 'blocked' by tables and booths and visual obstructions.
>>24312are there any clues on the direction they were headed?
>>24314The only clue is that they didn't pass through the perimeter, and that they were gone by the time Infernius made his way to the center. That alone suggests coordination and efficiency.
[1d20 = 1]>>24315any trapdoors or hidden passages i can find?
>>24316Heh, no. Even with a decent roll, you'll find nothing. The bazaar stands on top of a well-paved section (not like modern pavement, but well-packed stone and dirt)
>>24316>that rollI think only rogues can do that
ok i go back to the Arab and ask him (cast discern lies before i talk to him) "do you know where the drow went?"
