The Hungry City 2 (LA, The Sewers, Event)

[Jewel]

Many speak of the incident the night before as an attack on the city. Some fiendish plot by foul necromancers to overrun the festival and those who cherish that which is good and holy. A few, however, have seen clues and evidence that point to some other cause. The ghuls who ran amok were all already injured bearing many strange wounds not from knife or sword. It was as if they were fleeing to the surface... even if they were more than happy to rampage once they reached that goal.

Whatever the truth of the night all signs point towards the answers being found below, in the sewers, if any were brave enough to investigate.

[Jewel]

Characters who passed the Investigation/Perception check at the end of The Hungry City may participate in this event. Each must decide if they are investigating on their own or as part of a party (there may be multiple different parties).

An investigator can invite someone who did not pass (or did not roll) the Investigation check at the end of The Hungry City at the cost of one of their free raises. This person joins their party.

The more parties or individuals investigating the more potential Clue Points can be earned towards the final event. But there is safety in numbers should rolls go badly.

The Search:

Roll Investigation/Perception TN10.

If in a party this is a Cooperative roll where a chosen character makes the roll adding the Investigation scores of the other party members as a bonus.

Success, and each successful raise, gives 1 Clue Point.

There is no penalty for failure other than not gaining useful information.

Stay Unnoticed:

Roll Stealth/Agility TN10.

If in a party this is a Cooperative roll where each character rolls individually but adds the highest Stealth skill among them as a bonus.

If the character, or all party members, are successful you may either Repeat or attempt Exit?

If the character, or any party member, fails you enter combat. If in a party those who passed the Stealth check may choose to leave those who failed to their fate and flee without them. (They move to Exit? while any who failed or who choose to remain join the combat)

Anyone who survives combat gains 1XP and exits the event.

Any individual, or entire group, that dies in combat does not contribute their Clue Points to the final total.

Repeat:

Roll both The Search and Stay Unnoticed again increasing the TN of each by 5.

You may repeat as many times as you wish, increasing the TN of both by an additional 5 each time, until you choose to stop or the Stay Unnoticed roll results in combat.

Exit?:

If the character, or any member of the party, has Way of the Land: Sewers you can find an exit at any time without issue otherwise roll either Hunting/Intelligence (Trailblazing) TN15 or Lore: Medinaat al-Salaam/Intelligence TN20. If in a party this is a cooperative roll where a chosen character makes the roll adding the Hunting scores of the other party members as a bonus.

If the character, or any of the party members, has Way of the Land: Medinaat al-Salaam or Absolute Direction reduce the TN by 5 for each instance of either.

Wanderer applies to this roll if the character with Wanderer is rolling. If a character with Wanderer is not rolling but is part of the party the character rolling must call a raise in order to successfully find the exit.

If successful, or if the TN is reduced to zero, the character or party safely escapes the sewers.

If failed roll Stay Unnoticed at an additional +5 to the TN from the last time it had been rolled. If the character or party successfully avoid combat they may attempt Exit? again at an additional +5 TN for each failed attempt)

Each individual, or member of a party, gains 3 Night Points if they or their party contributed a Clue Point to the final total. Any individual, or member of a party, who failed to contribute Clue Points but still survives gain 1 Night Point.

Spellcasting may be usable with subtle casting required if trying to hide it from your party.

[Al-Haddar]

"Remind me what we're doing here brother?" whispered Al-Haddar as he walked through the unwelcoming sewers, in between two mouthfuls of the content of the bag of ma'quda he had brought with him.

Investment.

"Not sure I follow."

Taking controlled risks now, when the night isn't that deep yet and you're not that tired, to understand better what's the deal with all these ghouls, so they don't surprise you in your sleep in the heart of the dark.

"Makes sense I guess."

Al-Haddar and his brother soon stopped talking, as he did catch a glimpse of the aforementioned ghuls. He observed them attentively from afar, where they were coming from, where they were going, in which state they were.

Courage was however available in very limited quantity to al-Haddar, so he buzzed off at the very first sign they might maybe, possibly, be aware of his presence.

The way back home was surprisingly easy to find. Al-Haddar had been too hungry to eat cleanly, and he just had to follow the crumbs to find the path to the exit. Plus one for serendipity!

Claudia stalks or more accurately, splashes through the sewers. The smell is rather foul and every distant sound has her on edge. The surgeon moves with her dagger held protectively in front of her, although it didn't exactly do much against the previous Ghul.

The Hungry City 2, Day 3 LA, Investigation/Perception, calling an extra raise for a clue point and spending a void point, TN 15 | 4k3 ⇒ 17 (TN: 15)

She keeps her head on a swivel, but is about to run into someone who is (probably) not a Ghul....

[Bazir]

A man robed in black wearing a smiling djinn mask dropped silently into the sewers from the opened grate above. Wary and immobile, he glanced around for any hint of movement or sound.

Reassured for the moment he began slinking around looking for clues about what happened last night.

TThe Search, roll 1: Investigation/Perception TN10. two raises (re-roll due to mistake) | 5k3 ⇒ 22 (TN: 20) 3 clue points

Stay Unnoticed, Roll 1: Stealth/Agility TN10. | 4k2 ⇒ 33 (TN: 10) passed

Now...that is interesting he knew he should not linger but more was likely needed

The Search, roll 2: Investigation/Perception TN10. two raises fr to reduce the TN by 5 | 5k3 ⇒ 30 (TN: 20) 3 clue points

Stay Unnoticed, Roll 2: Stealth/Agility TN10. fr to reduce the TN by 5 | 4k2 ⇒ 20 (TN: 10) Passed

The plot was tickening

The Search, roll 2: Investigation/Perception TN 20, Fr for extra clues | 5k3 ⇒ 21 (TN: 20) 2 clue points

Stay Unnoticed, Roll 3: Stealth/Agility TN 20, void used | 5k3 ⇒ 28 (TN: 20) Passed

Content with his work and knowong the risks of a prolongated stay the man made his way to the exit based on instinct. (Way of the land: sewers)

Total: 8 clue points, 3 night points.
