Looking back, and realizing Edgar's no longer where he used to be, Marcus shrugs. Could have worked I think. He then waits to see how it goes.

I just need a decision from Edgar about which approach he's going to take to incapacitate the man, in light of this post.

The rest of the party moves forward a bit and watches as Edgar creeps up behind the drunk. The man remains completely unaware of Edgar's presence until the tiefling bops him on the head with his fist. This does some serious (nonlethal) damage and the man sways a bit, but does not collapse unconscious. Instead, he drops his bottle in the lake and whips his head around to look at Edgar, yelling Oooow! What the #$@%!!!!! The man starts to react with surprising agility and Cyrius realizes he's the only one who's going to have a chance to do anything before the plan goes awry...
OUT OF CHARACTER
Edgar: according to my calculations, your attack roll should have been at +4 (+2 base, +2 strength, and there's no flanking just because someone's unaware of you; you need someone on the other side). You still hit, though.

INITIATIVE ORDER:

Round 1 Begins
Cyrius of the Sudden Blade
Todrick the Drunk Guy
----> Quick Validation
Round 1 Continues
Texudus TreeBender
Edgar Frog - 10 hp damage
Lola
Marcus Tilsworth
Round 2 Begins
Cyrius of the Sudden Blade
Todrick the Drunk Guy
----> Next Validation

Cyrius double moves to 0502, giving Edgar the opportunity to flank Todrick next turn. Unfortunately, this means he cannot manifest his mind blade this turn.
OUT OF CHARACTER
Yes, I could have activated the mind blade and thrown it at Todrick, or tried bull rushing him to knock him into the lake, but the intent here is to capture and interrogate.

Is Cyrius drawing a weapon as he moves? Because otherwise he will not threaten Todrick and, therefore, not provide flanking.

Good point. He'll draw his dagger as he moves.

Round 1 Begins

Cyrius sprints to the end of the dock, drawing his dagger as he goes.

Cursing about his lost bottle and the lump forming on his head, Todrick grabs his polearm and staggers to his feet. Cyrius takes the opportunity to attempt to clock the man with the pommel of his dagger, but misses. [I assumed, since you went to all the trouble to avoid the mind blade, that you wanted to try a nonlethal AoO as well. I did not give Edgar an AoO because he is currently unarmed.]

Lola will stay back, keeping an eye out for other people coming up the street. She will have her crossbow ready in case we have visitors who are not welcome.

Marcus readies his mace and prepares to charge the drunk should the two there have more trouble getting him under control.

Cyrius will manifest his mind blade, then fight defensively without making an attack. (The idea as that, as the more obvious opponent, he will be the target of Todrick's attack, allowing Edgar to shift into flanking positon for another non-lethal attack.)

Round 1 Continues

Tex keeps an eye on goings on at the end of the dock, ready to send an arrow into the drunk if he starts to yell.

Edgar moves around behind Todrick and attempts to punch him in the back of the head. While this would normally leave Edgar open to an attack with the man's weapon, Todrick's pole arm is too unwieldy to bring to bear. So, Edgar's punch lands and knocks Todrick unconscious.

The area near the dock remains quiet. All the activity in town remains in the central square of the Vein, so it seems there are no passers by to notice the party's assault.
OUT OF CHARACTER
For the record: crits work in this campaign according to the standard rules. So Edgar's crit did not confirm, but the base damage was more than enough to knock Todrick out.

Status Report:
Edgar Frog - 10 hp damage
Todrick the Drunk Guy - unconscious due to nonlethal pummeling

Also, sneak attack damage is not multiplied when a critical hit is made. Otherwise we'd all be running rogues wielding rapiers with the Improved Critical (rapier) feat!

We're not? :?

 

Rice approaches the end of the dock and has a look at the fellow. Let's tie him up and bring him someplace quiet. Rice will then begin removing any and all weapons and items from the man's person and taking stock of what he has.

Tex relax's a bit, looks around making sure they arent being watched. Where should we take him? We should also put a hood on him.

An empty building would be our best choice, Cyrius suggests. Or a nice, deserted alley.

Tex looks around and doesn't spot anyone nearby who might have noticed the party's illicit activities. Marcus searches the unconscious man and discovers that, in addition to his banded mail and very nice pole arm (a guisarme), he has three potions, a very fine cloak, and 41 gold pieces (he's rich, apparently!).

The discussion turn to what to do with the unconscious man. Those of you who saw how hard Edgar punched him in the head realize he's going to be out for quite a while. The only empty building you can think of is the dilapidated Land family farmhouse outside of town. You know there's no owlbear there any more. Another option is the rooms each of you (except Edgar, who just got here) have been renting at the Able Carter Coaching Inn, just around the corner (#21 on the map). Of course, people will see you bringing the man into your rooms there, so some explanation might be required there.

Not! says Marcus in response to using the inn.
That's asking for trouble and creating witnesses. We return to the farm house or we do it here, or we kill him.

Here's too public for my tastes, Cyrius avers. If our lodgings are out, then I suppose we'll have to cart him to old farmhouse. Might even inspire him to talk more freely.

Marcus will gather up all his gear, the 41 gold, the cloak, the potions, and the polearm. He's not interested in undressing the man. Let's get going. He then hands an even share of the gold to each of his partners, 8 gold a piece with him keeping the extra. To be easier for carrying, he dons the cloak and puts the potions in his pack.

"We are we robbing this guy? I thought we were just going to get information from him. Are you planning on killing him as well?

Lola will pocket the money and plans to give it back to the guy once we are done with him (unless we kill him of, course - but that is not my first choice to do with him).

When he's left alive, after giving us what we want to know, he'll be glad to be still alive. He may be soar about losing his coin, but I'm personally not concerned what a grave robber is soar about.

As an after thought, he adds, Besides, I'm in need of building up the funds needed to awaken the power in this quarterstaff. If you don't want the coin, then I'd be glad to have a better share, or all of your share.
