Once this fellow is subdued, we bind him effectively. We remove all the components, items, and other things that can be quickly removed. I don't think we have time to strip him or take a longer time. "Can someone tell if he has any active magic?"
We also need to grab the other two and get all three of these off the dock.
Big Rob asks, "How long do these wings last?" Where is the closest safe location?"
-
Quorl would know a safe place if one is needed.
"Good work men. Let's get them all out of here. Rob, if your able take the other two (wherever we decide) and hurry back. Myself and the others will escort our new friend here."
Is he conscious?
"Let's hear what you have to say for yourself before this gets official."
-
Gag him, I've been dazed and stunned enough for today.
-
Those were strange powers from a human, I try to disbelieve the creature. Total Willpower save = 22.
-
"Gneetah, did you understand what they were saying?"
-
"Gneetah, did you understand what they were saying?"
I can't quite make it out, but if I'm allowed to witness their questioning back at HQ, I'm sure I can figure it out. It'll take some time, but I assure you I can learn it.
-
"With all your languages, that is odd. Can you hazard a guess on what type it might be? Elven, dwarven, common based?"
-
"With all your languages, that is odd. Can you hazard a guess on what type it might be? Elven, dwarven, common based?"
The language was not similar to human or demi-human.
-

He fights you until you knock him out. He is much stronger than any of you but not skilled at unarmed combat.
What do you do after you knock him out?
-
Rob is Strength 22 right now, is he still stronger?
Remove all spell components and possibly magic items. Gag him, and have Gneetah expertly tie him up with manacles.
"Where is our closest safe location, sergeant?"

"Where is our closest safe location, sergeant?"
Not stronger. He has a torc, a vest, a light belt and a pair of boots. When you take the boots off you see that he has fins on the back of his legs and webbed feet.
-
I check to make sure he is still breathing before and after we remove the items.
"Anyone know what type of creature has these feet?"
-

He appears to be breathing normally
-

-
His skin takes on a bluish tone and his hands have slack webbing.
-
"There is an illusion on him, making him look more human than he is."
Is walking around with an illusion on yourself against the law? Wasted 20 on this roll, but knowledge law total of 32.

It is not
-
Being large for a while still, I pick up the three bound men and head in the direction the sergeant selects.
What is the crowd doing?
Rob asks, "Gneetah, can you carry the items? Have you already taken all of the possible valuables from the bowmen?"
OOC: Is the plan to not play out our interrogation of these men in person, but on the boards?

Yes, I can carry the items. I have already stripped the two ninjas that assaulted us of all their possessions and read them their rights.
-
Do either of the bowmen have any identifying symbols on them?

There's not really a crowd; people are at various doorways and windows and a few on the docks. Looking at you and the wall of fire.
Preferably on the boards.
-

A variety of tattoos you have seen before linking them to the Onice

Symbols, religious markings, clan markings, items, arms, hidden objects. If I have to, I'll whip out the gnomex gloves and perform a cavity search.

Sorry, I'm still confused. Do you mean on the ninja's or the well dressed man or both?
-

All three. The two ninjas are unconscious, hog tied and shackled and the shrieking web-fingered leader is unconscious too if I recall. Rob knocked him out and we shackled him afterwards.

Yes on all counts. You don't see anything other than what is described above.
-

Preferably on the boards.
The wall only lasts six rounds after Vassilli got daze, so its probably down at this point.
"You can all go back inside, the constables have this under control."
"Can any of you see anyone watching us closely, as opposed to just looking at the spectacle?" Rob doesn't have his glasses on so he can't.

No one appears to be watching more intently

I dismiss the shaking ground.
"Tannic, do you have any healing spells? If so, is anyone hurt and in need?"
Did the webbed leader have a book on him?
-

No book
Tannic says: "No sir, I am unharmed. I can use two cure light wounds if anyone is in need.
-
Did the other fops, drop anything during the fight or while they were knocked prone and shaking?
-

It doesn't appear so. You never saw a weapon on any of them.
-
I should have mentioned when you removed his items, your detection shows he has three active spells
-
Did Brevis cast a detection. If not, can Tannic?
Once that question is answered, what types and power of spells?
-

I thought that's how you I'd his items? In any case it's an abjuration, a transmutation and divination. The first two are weak, the third is moderate.
-
Bryvus did cast detect magic.
I can also stash their equipment in my bag of holding.
-
Does anyone speak Horarian besides Gneetah? Asking for when we have to question the bowmen.
-
From the desk of Sergeant Quorl:
"I speak Horarian."
"We need a place to drop of those two, and then a place where we can question that one before we have to deliver him to the first deputy."
Quorl uses his knowledge of the city to determine the nearest temple or shrine that is friendly.

There are no "friendly" temples on this side of the river.

What about the Layradian embassy? I am sure they would help constables in need.

That's all the way on the otherside, near the lighthouse.

"What about the Gree, is there any place they have keep us?"
-
"What about the Gree, is there any place they have keep us?"
You can try. They are far closer than HQ or any of the temples.
-
"Vassilli, is that worth a try?"
-
Sloooooowwweeesssttt Decisioooonnnn everrrrrrr
-
I need Quorl to make the move.
-
"Vassilli, is that worth a try?"
My people might help, but, i cannot speak for them.
-
"Let's try that. If it doesn't work out we will head back to HQ. Stick together and keep an eye out for...whatever."

You reach the Grean settlement without incident. All three of your captives regain consciousness just before you arrive. Aeciel meets you and escorts you to a fortified house. He tells you: "This is the place of disagreements. You are welcome to use it as long as you need."
-
"What is a place of disagreements?"
-
Is there room enough to put each on in a separate room?
Someone watch to see if we were followed.
To Aeciel, "Are there any protection on this place?"
-
"What is a place of disagreements?"
"It is where we bring our fellows who need some time apart. Usually alcohol is to blame."
-

To Aeciel, "Are there any protection on this place?"
There are four "cells" and a common room, though it's not insulated from the cells.
You were not.
No

I greet Aeciel in Gwrean and thank him for the use of their facilities.
"Sergeant, we should keep someone posted outside the doors in case these men were followed, have some means of communicating with their cronies, or have the ability to conjure magic. We don't want to place Aeciel's people in unnecessary danger. I volunteer for that post if need be."

Aeciel says: "We are safe here. We have been responsible for our own protection for generations."
-
Who would you like to speak with first?
-
Can we question at the same time?
One of us take each, with Quorl and Gneetah questioning the Horarians.
"Vassilli, do you have anything left that will help us know if they are telling the truth?"
-
All three of your captives regain consciousness just before you arrive."
Did they awake in unison?

No, just within a few minutes.

What laws did I see the Fop leader break? Knowledge law roll = 22.

You saw him use the cone of sound and the lightning bolt on your fellow constables. The question is why?
-
He lightning bolted me. Could that possibly be construed in self defense?
Is mental domination of less intelligent creatures (the other fops) and hiding their true nature a crime?
They rushed Tannic and threw him out of the way. Assault on a constable. That is a crime, correct?
I don't think we did anything harmfully offensive before they sonic blasted us.

Is your first question an internal one?
Yes mental domination of any creature is a crime. They did not rush Tannic, he was grappling them when they fled.
Your last is incorrect
-
The lightning bolt in self defense was an internal question.
"Who attacked before he attacked us?" Robert was still on the roof farther away then he could see when that happened.
Tannic had handcuffed two and then had to brace for the rush of the others. Then overbore him and throw him aside so they could get to their companions.

Tannic had handcuffed two and then had to brace for the rush of the others. Then overbore him and throw him aside so they could get to their companions.
The sequence of events:
You noticed two of the fopish young men following you at a distance. Quorl elected to hide in an alley and surprise them while the rest of you proceeded closer to the Redleaf warehouse. As you approached you observed the two archers on the roof.
Quorl confronted the fops and after clearly becoming uncomfortable answering his questions they attempted to flee. Tannic ran them down and grappled them aided by Vasilli's powers. Rob and Gneetaugh rushed towards the archers who had opened fire on you. As Bryvus and Quorl came to assist you the band of fops approached to rescue their fellows. Bryvus began unleashing a series of "fell" spells on the gang that had freed their fellows from Tannic. After Bryvus unleashed the fog of doom the leader began blasting you with the cone of sound. Vasilli responded with a wall of fire that cut the leader off from the rest of the crowd. He responed with a lightning bolt and Vasilli in turn used a bolt of flame. Eventually Quorl and Rob subdued him.
-
We all get that story sorted out before we question.
When I get into the room, I will say, "Hello, my name is Robert Axson, constable of Icefia. Is there anything I can get for you that would make you more comfortable?"

-

That's not correct. Bryvus unleashed the first of his "fell" spell on one of the Horarians. Then I ran back to the fops and was immediately caught in and dazed by the first sonic cone that was aimed at Vasilli. I certainly didn't shoot first since I was dazed the first few rounds of that part of the fight.

Vasilli may have used something else before you arrived. Did you use the ground shaking before the fog?
-
Ground shaking was done by Rob, the fog was dropped on them after the ground shake.

Still looking for an answer to this

Fop

The "man" looks at you suspiciously before responding. "A large glass of water and a large bucket of water, fresh or salt are both fine." His voice and manner of speech are both cultured and lack the awkwardness of the others to whom you spoke.
-
"Certainly, I will have that done. For the record, can I have your name?"
-
"Certainly, I will have that done. For the record, can I have your name?"
"I am Prince Beuharil Uzzar. I will gladly pay reparations or ransom for my release."
-
"Prince? I am sorry, I am not familiar with you. Prince of what or where?"
-
"Prince? I am sorry, I am not familiar with you. Prince of what or where?"
"Of the great Kingdom of Anafa. It lies on what you call the plane of water."
-
"Of the great Kingdom of Anafa. It lies on what you call the plane of water."
Prince Uzzar, what business is it that you and your people are conducting here on the prime material plane?
-
Prince Uzzar, what business is it that you and your people are conducting here on the prime material plane?
Hold on, I think we were doing three private investigations. One on one. Gneetah and Quorl each had one of the Horarians.
-
"Of the great Kingdom of Anafa. It lies on what you call the plane of water."
"If no one has formally said so, welcome to the Kingdom of Icefia." I leave to get the glass of water and return with it, but not yet with the bucket.
-
Prince Uzzar, what business is it that you and your people are conducting here on the prime material plane?
Vassili asks "Do we need someone of a higher pay grade, since we have a prince in captivity here. And of an elemental plane. "
-
That question and my response, out of earshot of the prince. "Let's question him first and then perhaps you are right."
"Can someone conjure up some dull noise so the prisoners can't hear us out hear?"
"Maybe we will need our own prince to talk to this one."
While I am outside getting his glass of water, if anyone has any questions for the prince (I relay what little I have learned so far), I take notes and when I return I bring paper and pen along with the water.
-
Hold on, I think we were doing three private investigations. One on one. Gneetah and Quorl each had one of the Horarians.
Oh, if that's the case, strike my previuos question from the record.
-
Quorl will go in with one of the Horarians.
In Horaian..."I don't suppose you would like to tell me who sent you? Probably not much I can do for you at this point but I guess that depends on what you have to say."
He will then do an inventory of his tattoos and markings to see how they match up to the ones we learned while investigating the Onice's.
-
"Can someone conjure up some dull noise so the prisoners can't hear us out hear?"
Bryvus casts a "ghost sound" to make some soothing ocean sounds (http://www.angelfire.com/super/chuwy/sound/soothingceansounds.mp3) for you.
Edit: figured out how to properly post the hyperlink.

The "Prince" immediately perks up.

He laughs and swears creatively at you in Horarian. "You know well enough who I serve and that his punishments are far worse than yours."
He has tattoos for the Hold and the Promise
-
After the soothing ocean noises start, I go back into the room.
"I have your water." I give it to him, as we have not yet unbound the spellcasters hands. "They are working on getting the bucket."
"What brings the prince of another plane to Portet?"

"What brings the prince of another plane to Portet?"
"We mean you no harm. My people have long been enamored with surface dwellers and we traditionally invite young women to balls in our realm. Your city has so many forlorn young women and they are easy prey for the wolves. We offer them a respite from their struggles here and some choose to stay."
-
After a moment of silence due to disbelief, Rob shakes his head.
"How do you get back and forth from your home plane, and how long do you normally stay for?" and a pause then before he answers, "And I apologize for the interruption and ignorance, but what type of creature are you?"

"How do you get back and forth from your home plane, and how long do you normally stay for?" and a pause then before he answers, "And I apologize for the interruption and ignorance, but what type of creature are you?"
He looks at you like you're a little slow. "We swim? As for how long we stay, only for a day or two once a month, of your time, before our parties. My "men" are Triton. You would call me Gen or Gensai. I implore you to let me go before nightfall. I have told my men you have not harmed me but they will come in force if they think you will imprison me or you cannot keep me safe."
-
"You swim through gates between the planes. How do you open these gates? Why would I call you Gen or Gensai? Safe from what?"
-
"You swim through gates between the planes. How do you open these gates? Why would I call you Gen or Gensai? Safe from what?"
"The gate appears permanent. It lies just outside the harbor, where the depths begin. You may refer to me by my name, just as I would you.
Safe from the wolves. The same ones that are preying upon the women of your city. I would be a great prize for them."
-
"Do your people do this at many cities? Are the wolves you speak of literal ones, or are you using that figuratively?"
-
"Do your people do this at many cities? Are the wolves you speak of literal ones, or are you using that figuratively?"
"We do this on many worlds but Haboloy is new to us because your power of Water is not of our plane or an outer plane. Wolves means wolves. Were beasts of the sea who can walk ashore like men for a time. Perhaps this is what you thought my men were? Their common is poor."
-
"Just another minute or two, and they should have your bucket ready. How long have you been doing this in Portet? Are these wolves after you specifically for any reason?"
-
"Just another minute or two, and they should have your bucket ready. How long have you been doing this in Portet? Are these wolves after you specifically for any reason?"
"We started after the harbor thawed. The wolves were alread here. We fight them when we must. They set ambushes for us on this side of the portal and sometimes here in the streets. They are more than a match for one or even several of my men so I have started accompanying them."
-
"Why this city? Understand that I am charged with the protection of Portet, so the appearance of other planar creatures and the wolves chasing them is concerning. So forgive me for all of these questions and my apprehension. Do you target females of any race? Can you give me the names of any you have taken from Portet so far? I think this all may have been a misunderstanding and we might be able to let you go with all of your possessions, but I need to be certain there is no threat here."
Sense Motive total 23 to get a feel for why he is talking the way he is.
Is impersonating a human while being a planar creature a crime?
How about taking a willing person to another plane?
What age would a person have to be according to the laws of Icefia to consent to such a thing?
After he answers this round of questions, I say, "I think your bucket should be ready, I will be right back."
Once outside the room, "Does anyone know anything about the other planes or a portal to the plane of water?" I describe what he has said so far and ask anyone if they have any thoughts on where to take the questioning next.

"We have come here simply because the new portal opened and it is so close by. We invite generally humans, elves and half elves, though we have heard of a race called Nippits? They sound intriguing as well. We have not taken anyone, in the sense that it implies abduction. I would have to return to the to my city to obtain the names of those that are still there.

Your impression is that he is being truthful and has experience in diplomacy. It is not a crime to take a willing person of majority age anywhere. Majority age is 16. It would not be a crime just to impersonate another race. (See, In Re: Summerlight, John (AKA the Valiant), William et al.)

A note that a new portal to the plane of water has to be reported immediately to the high ups.

When I return into the room, I bring the bucket, "Do you want this dumped on your head?"
Once that whole process sorts itself out, I continue.
"Do you know if your Tritons knew we were constables when they fled?"
"These sea wolves, is there any more information you can give me on them? They sound like the type of creature that we need to make sure doesn't cause any problems in the city."
-
When outside, I ask, "Do we want to charge this fellow with anything? Based on the current information, I am having a tough time coming up with any crimes that are worth pursuing, considering the mitigating circumstances."
At some point, thinking the Gree are a water-based race, I ask our hosts, "Do you know anything about the Tritons or a portal to the plane of water?"

"No thank you, I'll put my head in for a few moments to refresh myself and then my feet while we finish."
"They knew you were authority figures, but not exactly what type."
"The wolves are very dangerous. Ordinarily my men would only come in pairs, as it's unlikely we will find large groups of young women, though we've had more success than I would have guessed. The wolves hunt in packs at all times, so we have been traveling in larger groups as well. They are were beasts and seek prey to eat and to turn."

Aeciel shrugs. "I have only heard tales of them rescuing sailors and passengers from ship wrecks and harassing whalers and treasure hunters. They are enemies of the Shaughin, devil rays and Korpu."
-
"No, there are not."
Robert again for a moment has that dazed look, then asks, "How?"
-
Once outside the room, "Does anyone know anything about the other planes or a portal to the plane of water?" I describe what he has said so far and ask anyone if they have any thoughts on where to take the questioning next.
Weren't you paying attention when the Lord Governor addressed us that day after the clerics of Lakius were murdered?! The cult of the Dark One is using portals from the plane of water to bring their allies here. Or something like that. We need to report this to the Governor and Master Ullik immediately.
Find out what this fop guy knows about it. Where it is, when it appeared, if it's always open, if there are others like it.
-
A note that a new portal to the plane of water has to be reported immediately to the high ups.
"Yes, I already said that."

Robert again for a moment has that dazed look, then asks, "How?"
"There are just not enough."
-
"Okay. Getting back to that portal. Do you know when it first opened here? Do you know of any other portals near Icefia? Do you know of anything else that has been using the portal?"
-
"Okay. Getting back to that portal. Do you know when it first opened here? Do you know of any other portals near Icefia? Do you know of anything else that has been using the portal?"
"I cannot say exactly when it opened in your time as I was not here. Recently by any standard. While the harbor was frozen. As for what else has been using it; the wolves and Korpu, though the later have already retreated as the water on this side is already getting cold again."
-
"Thank you for all of the detail about the portal. Your cooperation will go a long way. Do you expect to continue your activities here in Portet?"
-

"I think in light of our misunderstanding we will hold off on any further visits to your city."
-
"That is your prerogative. While not illegal, disguising yourself to convince females to leave their homes for another plane is not viewed as...normal and acceptable behavior...even with your seemingly noble intentions."
"I've brought you water, is there anything else you need? I need my associates to finish the paperwork and make sure everything is in order before we can finish our business here. It shouldn't take too long, but I fear it may still be an hour."
"Also, after thinking about it, could you provide me with a list of names of the women you have taken? Some of them may be missed. Some may be on our books and if we can get confirmation of their safety, we can clear off some of our case load."

"So there is no misunderstanding, we reveal our nature to the women we invite. There is no deception as soon as we can speak with them in private."
"If you can escort me to the waters' edge that would be a great help. The wolves are excellent trackers and if they ambush me alone I will be forced to use the most destructive spells at my disposal. A group of men should be enough to deter them."
"I do not know any of them by name but if you wish, as a sign of respect and good faith, I can return with a list of their names or even arrange to meet a ship at anchor so the women may speak for themselves."
-
"A list of their names would be very helpful and sufficient."
"We will escort you to the water's edge."
The next time I go out, I confirm with Quorl that we can do those things.
"Is there a way you can identify the wolves for us? By the way you describe them, they need to be watched, if not outright arrested for their activities. Do you know if they are affiliated with any organization?"
"Is there an easy way to communicate with you? Perhaps a messenger spell or a message in a bottle?"

"I'm sorry, the wolves appear as any human men and women. Like my men they may have difficulty in ordinary conversation, but that is not how they behave so it is not much help to you. As for communicating with me, once I leave this plane it would require powerful magic. If you wish to leave a signal, you could paint or mark the eastern most jetty with whitewash and I will come and meet you here. I will first assure my father that you mean me no harm or insult and then return in a day or two with the list."
-
"Is your father the king? What is his name?"
"Have you made any other contacts in the city?"
-
Find out where the portal is.
-
"Where exactly is the portal?"
-
"Is your father the king? What is his name?"
"Have you made any other contacts in the city?"
He gives you a slight "you must be slow look" and says "Yes, I am a prince, my father is the
King. Anaharil the Great, Protector of the Sapphire Throne."
"No, I have no contacts here in the city."

Where are we going to pick up in two weeks?
We still need to question the Horarians.

Ari's entourage returned to the city the same day you are questioning your prisoners. We will pick up wherever you decide to stop here on the boards.
-
Just a reminder
-
I don't think there is anything else for the prince. Gneetah is questioning the Horarian.
-
Quorl says: "We should question them separately. We don't need a full interrogation of the Horarians here, just an idea of what they were up to."
To the Horarians in Horarian: "Please explain what you were doing on the roof when we spotted you. If you could provide details regarding what's happening in that warehouse, it would reflect favorably and help lessen the charges against you."

We were defending our property from the Redleaves. We saw you and the elf and mistook you for them. Can we go now?

Have you filed an official report against the Redleaves? If not, we can take a formal statement. Would you be able to describe exactly what they were doing that prompted you to feel threatened by them and therefore take up arms against them?

Perhaps I wasn't clear. Would you like to press charges against the Redleaves for anything tonight? If so, let me know what for. If not, then consider your options carefully. Right now we have you on assaulting a Constable, disorderly conduct, slander, and resisting arrest. I'm sure there's more, but I would need to consult my Sergeant for the exact details. Please reconsider providing details on what you were doing when you first saw us. I'm having difficulty believing that you mistook a group of uniformed Constables for Redleaves before you attacked. It also strikes me as odd that you proceeded to verbally assault us once you confronted us and realized we weren't Redleaves. Even more perplexing is the part where you tried to kill us once we asked you to cease and desist. And finally, let's not forget the part where you resisted arrest while I politely read you your rights. I even gave you the courtesy of saying them in your native tongue just like I'm speaking to you now.

They sit mute, clearly cowed.

"Please be advised that, albeit your perrogative, your silence in this instance gives us probable cause to search the warehouse you were standing on and also grants us the right to seize all assets contained within said warehouse. I doubt your employer would view this turn of events favorably. Plea bargaining with us may be your best chance to survive this mess. I'll give you a moment to think it over." At this time, I call Sergeant Quorll in for assistance. I explain to him everything I said to them and ask how he'd like to proceed.

Everyone gets a flat 650xp.
The prince tells you he can return in a week or send a servant in three days. Your choice.
You have the next two days off.
On the third day you are informed that all leave has been cancelled and all deputies will be working double shifts for the following week. The blockade ends in 24 hours.

Sending the servant would be better in hopes we can get the list before the blockade is lifted.
-
Did we get xp for the 2nd constable session this season? I don't see it on my sheet.
-
Sending the servant would be better in hopes we can get the list before the blockade is lifted.
The morning you are instructed to prepare for the end of the blockade you find a garishly dressed man waiting for you outside HQ. He appears as a Horarian but is wearing garb that makes him stand out. His tunic is bright silk in paisley pattern, his hat is sky blue and his sword sheath (a broad saber) is iridescent fish scale.
In barely passable common he says: I am the prince's emissary. He hands you a scroll and a smooth piece of blue granite.
The scroll reads: Sergeant Quorl, I hope this missive finds you well. In total eleven women are currently guests in my kingdom. Eight are Horarians and three are half-elves. All were destitute and have indicated preliminarily their desire to stay permanently. No decision will be made until an emmissary from your kingdom can come and speak with them in person. Governor Arishimoto would seem the logical choice. Perhaps you could speak with him and make the arrangements? (Here there is a list of the women's names)
Four other young women have come and been returned to the city. Two requested to leave. One was removed when we discovered she was a Dresta follower and one was not well. We returned her to the Temple of Falan. (Here are four more names).
In thanks for the manner in which you resolved our misunderstanding I have included a gift. It is a summoning stone. It will call a water elemental to aid you.
Beuharil Uzzar, son of Anaharil, heir to the Sapphire Throne of Anafa

Returned to the temple of Falan that no one can enter?

Yeah, that sounds a little fishy if you ask me...
