N3. Faxon’s Workshop
This semicircular room is empty except for a few bookshelves
against the walls and a single desk and chair sit in one corner. A
huge set of wood and metal double doors stands in the south wall.
The person sitting at the desk has shoulder length wispy black hair, Lynn notes that the tops of the ears have a point and are scarlet red. At the sound of approaching foot steps, Faxon turns around revealing that he is a Tiefling.
"Good day Crusader, give your report please." Faxon stands This is what he looks like
"It doesn't look well. The do-gooders have regrouped and their actions are taking a toll on our numbers. Quite a few promising guys found an end by their blades. So far I haven't met them in person. Only found the results. Is that a danger to the greater plan? Something special you want us to do about that? Or is it still the good old spread chaos over town?" Lynn reports hoping to get some intel out of that guy.
Faxon listens to your report, noting down what Lynn has said and closing a ledger.
"Thank you, for your report, anything else?" Faxon looks a bit flustered
"Yeah. What am I supposed to do now?" Lynn inquires as that tiefling ignored her questions.
Lynn looks around and at the guy to find out what kind of fighting style that guy prefers.
Uh.. Yea, got any targets we could go after? Payback and all?
Faxon looks at Lynn, "We are waiting to hear from Minagho for the next city we are to infiltrate and begin to take over."
There is a Morning Star attacked to Faxon's belt and a loaded Heavy Crossbow sitting loaded beside the desk.
The cultist look at Don, "We're waiting on orders to head out, where were you stationed in the city. I never you before." The cultist pokes at the fire taking a swig from a wine skin
Ok, simple weapons, no armor. Squishy magic user. Worth a try. Lynn thinks, levels her glaive and attacks the tiefling.
"I must admit, this infiltrating stuff you mentioned works like a charm." she teases Faxon, while cornering him at the wall.
Faxon finally notices the symbol on Lynns chest, his eyes go large and he starts to mutter some words.
Bestow Curse
-6 Strength
Lynn suddenly feels kinda weak.
As the call from Lynn for help is heard, SteelGate walks over to the man who called Tink a rat, and says to him "Tink is no rat. Apologise."
FIGGHHHHHT!!!!
Don whacks at Faxon with his hammer
Prior to Lynn's attack.
The cultist who called Tink a Rat looks up at SteelGate from his seated position.
"Ye sure, he ain't no rat, but he ain't human." The man goes back to cooking something.
Map is updated
The Blue cultist stands at the sound of Lynn shouting and Faxon casting, "You ain't no cultist are ye? Guess we be getting a promotion once we kill ye!"
Faxon smiles at Lynn
"I applaud your insertion into our building."
Faxon 5' steps back, invoking an arcane syllable dense fog starts to roll out from his palms filling the room.
Lynn stabs at him as he casts carelessly in reach of her glaive. But as her weakness doesn't allow for taking him down she calls on her blessing and follows Faxon to keep him in sight.
Don slams his hammer into just after the cultist gets his spell off. The cultist swings his wicked looking scythe at Don's face.
Iko rushes forward towards the Most forward Cultist, his flashing feet kicking at the ankle of the cultist.
The Cultist drops to the ground like a rock, He gets back up drawing a strike from Iko.
Tink doing his thing, will scan the room for any magical objects or traps.
SteelGate lumbers up to assist Iko in attacking the Cultist.
Faxon continues to smile at Lynn, blood drips from the wounds on his chest.
Faxon nimbly steps out of the reach of Lynn's serptine weapon and invokes a demonic tone. Black energy envelopes his hands, a sickening feeling filling the room.
"Come closer little paladin."
"Oh, no! The black hand of death!" Lynn mocks Faxon.
Only to draw some more blood from him with her now blue glowing weapon.
Faxon steps into Lynn, "The misfortune of your Gods upon you!"
Lynn feels something sting her in the leg just where the armor is apart.
47/52
Don keeps swinging at the cultist he is facing
Stamina 3/6
Lynn looks what it is that stung her.
Don's blow carries so much weight that the cultist easily side steps but Don does destroy some of the rail preventing falling to the area below.
Tink's clawed hand reaches out towards the Closest cultist "I need to inspect your weapon for any flaws
The Scythe flies out of the hands of the culist, "You filthy rat!"
The Cultist on Don swings down at his feet trying to hamstring Don.
Iko moves around Steelgate and then does a backflip and somersault right in between the two cultists.
Then spins to trip the blue cultist.
and yells at his teammates. "I can keep these guys busy, someone go help Lynn downstairs!"
Got it!
As Don goes to run down stairs, The cultist by the stairs crashes to the ground with Iko's acrobatic display. The other Cultist slips back, looking at Don.
"HOLD!" Shouts the cultist.
Don strikes a pose.
SteelGate steps to flank with Iko and slams
Lynn ignores the scorpion for now. But she heals herself.
And then continues stabbing Faxon.
"Huh?" Tink says looking up from the scythe, not having heard the cultist. He then takes the scythe with him and moves off towards the stairs to Lynn
SteelGate slams into the body of the cultist on the ground, causing some deep bruising under the armor of the cultist. Managing to keep his body in the way of the top of the stairs,
Faxon takes the blow from Lynn, sliding back to avoid Lynn's fists.
"Invita Furego"
Lynn dodges most of the flames easily. "And I always thought magic was powerful. But yours feels like entertainment for children's birthday party. Where can I book you? Do you come in this clown's costume?"
Faxon is just out of reach of Lynn's glaive, The Cultist On the ground attempts to stand, drawing attacks from Iko and Don.
The Cultist will leave his companion to the group and make his way down stairs.
Iko see's the cultist trying to stand, and attempts an elbow drop on him.
Misjudging because of splitting his attention, the decides to focus on the cultist in red and strikes with his magical sword - Radiance!
Then Iko shouts out, "Someone stop him and help Lynn!"
Don is still paralyzed
Faxon turns more red as Lynn's taunts continue to come, "You will be under my control."
Faxon blurts out an arcane syllable at Lynn
Charm Person
Iko's blade strikes the fleeing Cultist in back, slicing him along the spine and ending the mans movement before he gets to far.
The cultist at the top of the stairs holds up his unholy symbol, "Deskari destroy these agents of the weak!"
The other cultist Mumbles something holding his Unholy symbol in his hands
Cure Mod
Lynn starts laughing out loud as she shakes off the attempt. "You're that desperate already?"
Lynn moves into a favorable position and stabs at Faxon again.
Also she heals herself as a swift action.
Don tries to struggle
"It is better to accept your fate. Pray to whatever gods you have." SteelGate says as he slams at the cultist by the stairs.
Tink runs down the stairs and casts enlarge person on Lynn
Don breaks free!
