Roncal Roth _{^{Map Legend}}

Head back over to Abu, and loot the bird-thing corpses (leaving some for Raven).  Don't just grab them for the magic, either; take their bodies.

Also, all three of our characters are still tied together.  Corven tied both Raven and Abu to him, specifically to make it impossible for anyone to wander away.

After collecting the birds, go back to the steep tooth and hammer a piton from our climbing gear into it.  Or have Raven hammer it in if Corven's too weak.  Then, if the team agrees, we can abseil down.

Description: An older man past his prime, Corven still carries himself with the intimidating aura you'd expect from a crime boss... except when he's dealing with his daughter, who he's completely incapable of saying "No" to.  That usually works out better than you'd expect, since he managed to get her the formal education he never had, though he still has wisdom on her.  Has something of an unhealthy obsession with birds, though not nearly as much so as his daughter.

You pick up one of the corpses of the flesh things and suddenly magic courses into you.

You gain "float/fly"

Yeah yeah, magic words and all that crap is very nice and all, but you didn't tell me about what's actually important: Can I make hats out of these buggers?

Either way, pick up the other two birds corpses as well, unless a teammate wants to pick one up first so spread the magic words around a little more. Make sure to collect all three corpses in the end however.


Abu figured he should tell those blind people about the magic in these magic birdbodies. But how to best break it to them...

You follow thag in through the door and attack the nearest person you see who you don't recognize. A sort of inverse stranger danger.  You step in, clonking along with your cast, and stab the man straight in the chest through the lung.

Stay behind and wait for the others to move before following. Stop once I spot the boss, plant my bow and fire at him.

As thag and Brian rush in, you notice a man sitting at a desk across the room. Judging by the money and drugs spread across his desk, he's probably the boss. Perfect! You plant your bow and loose a shot within a few seconds, tearing the man's head clean from his shoulders, leaving nothing but a still spurting stump and a body still seated in an expensive looking chair. A chair with a big hole in the back now, sadly.

Double-move south into the last hallway, in melee range of the boss.

You kick the door open and barge straight in. There's a man behind a desk across the room. Fat, seedy looking. Clearly the boss and clearly no threat.  You turn and see four men waiting against the wall, ready to fight. There's the fight you're looking for.  You swing your sabre at the closest one, cutting his face but not doing much real damage.

I guessI'll double move as well: 1 sw, 3s to put Geiger just north of the left doorway. Lizzy, if she's capable, can go into the left room ahead of him.

I'm gonna interpret this as one west and then one southwest so you don't walk into a wall.





At this point the remaining goons see that their boss is dead and clearly have a moment of reconsideration. You think that, if you were to offer it, they'd probably surrender or join you. Or maybe just run for it.

No more magic, but, BUT a nice hat acquired.

And by that I mean a fleshy turban. Which...Fleshy Turban sounds like euphemism for something very odd.

Description: An older man past his prime, Corven still carries himself with the intimidating aura you'd expect from a crime boss... except when he's dealing with his daughter, who he's completely incapable of saying "No" to.  That usually works out better than you'd expect, since he managed to get her the formal education he never had, though he still has wisdom on her.  Has something of an unhealthy obsession with birds, though not nearly as much so as his daughter.

• LOTS of nonmagical rifle rounds, most carried by slaves who may or may not be alive.
• A revolver for eveyone in the gang.

• Twelve bloodied slaver uniforms... left with the slaves, unless someone wants one for some reason.
• Six corvid themed gang uniforms, made of silk and armored with metal plates along with thick leather.  Four of the six outfits are distributed among the team members.  They include gas masks styled like plague doctor beaks, which grant a passive +2 to endurance die size vs airborne contaminants.  Additionally, they are highly fire-resistant, with acid-resistant coatings.

• Full adventurer kit (think ropes, climbing gear, collapsible poles, etc) for each gang member.
• A pouch of explosive firebombs for each gang member.
• Solid blocks of enchantable steel, one for each gang member.

I'm unsure why we're going this way rather than just crossing from one side of the mouth to the other, but okay this is the way we're going I guess that's fine?
Going down into the mouth would be sweet but probably also make getting home a little hard so let's go for the other option, whatever that is.

[Ozarck]

PW, we've been babbling about them surrendering the entire mission, and Dev's standing orders are that he wants underlings out of this. Can we assume we've offered the surrender again, and either do mission end, or move on to gang #2?

If we do mission end, I'd like to stump on down to the place with the rune on the floor, and inspect it. I assume my gngmates will patiently await my results while looting the place bare.
If we have another gang to fight, I'll start heading downstairs anyway. Who knows? I might get to the fight before the mission ends, eh?

[Radio Controlled]

Turn the other two birds into hats.

Then move on through the mouth I guess.
