The only scary thing about it is... Well, what if Vae rolls disasterously on the handle animal? She'll be in there alone with a rabid dog, and surrounded by guards. There's no contingency plan there. She is basically fucked. Ff she just stocks up all her spells to deal with animals, she has an arsenal of spells to fall back on if something goes wrong. Hold animal alone would give her enough time to open the door and let her raptor bum rush the dog. personally, I like the idea of Speak with Animal. She just needs to bring a few haunches of meat and a chew toy and she could probably just become friends with the damn mut! That being said, any pirates want to start placing bets on who wins, rabid dog vs. raptor?? |

OR what if she gets Virgil to cast Spider Climb on her to get her to the roof, does whatever she needs to deal with the dog/open door and can use Wild Shape (bird) to fly out of the hole in the window as a contingency...

Probably a good idea Morkus has a boat waiting as he has ranks in Profession (Salior) but what if you need muscle?

Hopefully we wont need muscle, but if we do there is a raptor and Rummy who can hopefully deal enough damage to take care of business. Dont forget, Rummy has a 20 Con so his HP is pretty damn high. Also, I could pick up a couple of scrolls of Silence in case we need to nerf the guards whistles... |

Let's just take a moment to remember our good friend, George.
Here's a quick recap of exactly how the heist went from George's perspective.
-His lantern sputters out, leaving him alone in the dark.
-He tries to relight his lantern, to no avail, while a dog growls in the moonless night.
-An arrow whistles into his back.
-He turns to see a half daemon leering from the rooftop.
-He tries to scream, but curiously makes no sound.
-An orc splits his head open from behind.
-In his dying moments, he sees an illusion of himself giving the thumbs up.
Poor, poor, George.

The Spoils of Thievery
1 x Shipment of Kaijitsu glass vases
1 x Shipment of Qadiran silk (+1 point of plunder)
1 x Shipment of saffron (+1 point of plunder)
1 x Shipment of Midnight Milk (value unknown)
A shipment of magic items marked "Hook and Hammer" including:
- A potion of Arcane Lock
- A Water Clock
- A scroll of Pyrotechnics
- A Potion of Goodberry
- Bracers of Armor +1
- A Hand of The Mage
And several boxes of sundry trading goods totalling the value of 4,000gp.
-25% for The Washside Bringers cut = 3,000gp!
XP for the session is as follows:
5 x advanced guards (CR 1, 200xp)
1 x advanced guard captain (CR 5, 1,600xp)
I decided to halve the xp for the guards, since they were mostly avoided/distracted rather than directly fought. So the total is 2,600 divided by 2, which equals 1,300xp
Then the wholesale slaughter of the Birdcruncher tribe will earn you:
5 x goblins (CR 1/3, 135xp)
4 x goblin heroes (CR 2, 600xp) 2400
Totalling 3,075xp.
It seems kinda silly that the total obliteration of that pathetic tribe earnt you more xp than that hideously dangerous heist. And I guess, normally, I'd award bonus xp for the completion of a "quest" in succeeding to steal your glass back. But, like I explained before, because of all these delightful diversions, you're all way higher level than you're expected to be for this point in the campaign. Sorry if I'm being a bit stingy, but I think it's probably better for long term balance.
Besides, I think the PHAT LOOT is probably reward enough.
SO! The total xp for each character last session is 4,375 divided by 4
which equals: 1,095xp each.

Yeah, i'm wanting to try and stick to the RotRL story arcs for a bit. The glassworks and the heist have been a hoot...but I doubt we've gotten more than a few pages into that massive hardcore book with hundreds of pages in it...
