Garotte |
Hesitation. Unwillingness to comply. This situation is familiar. Stepping forward, Garotte answers with his own rumbling voice.
"Are you certain the message was forgotten?" Crimson lenses shining, the warforged looms over her.
Intimidate: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
DM Twilight |
Oh Garotte. *sigh*
You can tell immediately that your attempts to intimidate the smaller, battered woman work. Garotte has seen the look of terror on many people before, and he's seeing it now in Rewyn's eyes. Her lips tremble and she shakes her head.
"Really, all I know is who sent it and who it was for. I'm sorry, please... please just go," Rewyn says.
"What are you doing? Leave her alone! She's been through enough. I'll call the guards, I will!" the male gnome yells at Garotte.

"Garrotte, stand down. They aren't hiding anything from us, they're just unfortunate victims and they've been through more than enough." Akasha says calmly with the slightest hint of command in her tone.
She walks over to the counter where the woman sits quaking in fright and crouches down to look her in the eye. "I'm sorry that this happened to you. I'm relatively sure that the message they took was meant for us, and if that is the case I'm sorry our enemies have brought you pain." she reaches into her pouch and places 200 galifars in the woman's hands."This obviously doesn't make up for what you've been through but I hope it helps." she says standing up, her dragonmark glittering in the light. "And know that when we find the ones responsible, I'll add an extra twist of the blade for you."
DM Twilight |
"Yes, your name was one of those marked as the intended recipients. I - I'm sorry, I did my best to keep it from them. I wish there was something more that I could tell you, but the sender, Lady Elaydren, I'm sure she could tell you whatever the message said," she says, looking at you with big, hopeful eyes.
Akasha |
"Thank you. Don't worry about it. I'm sure she'll be able to tell us what was the subject of the message. I'm sorry that any business of mine brought this upon you. Be well." the magus says with a nod. "Alright boys looks like it's over to meet Lady Elaydren. Keep and eye out in case we're followed."
Silian d'Thuranni |
Silian nods, "Fortunate that we were contacted when things went sour, but something is definitely on our heels. We should hurry, if the clerk knows your name, it is likely the assailants do too... before they just knew our faces, now they have viable information that they could use against us."
DM Twilight |
You make your way through the rainy streets of Sharn, hiring a skycoach to avoid the worst of it and get you to the level you need to be. You arrive at House Ghallanda run Broken Anvil, in the Mason's Tower. Everbright lanterns line the walls of the small tavern cut into a bend of the tower's wall.
Only one other person sits in the tavern when you step inside, a woman in a worn, brown cloak. She sits at the table at the far side of the room. As you enter, she lifts her hand as if to cast a spell but stops, pushing her hood back instead. Her appearance stands in stark contrast to when last you saw her, with disheveled hair and dirt smeared over her face, still you recognize her as Lady Elaydren.
A halfling matron enters from the back of the room only to be dismissed with a wave of Elaydren's hand. She beckons to you, gesturing for you to join her.
Jonah d'Tharashk |

Pulling the hood of his poncho off, Jonah looks around the tavern and then smiles at their patron.
He approaches, but is content to let Silian do the talking.
DM Twilight |
"Thank Olladra that you are here! There is no time to waste." She picks a backpack up from the floor and places it on the table. The leather is worn, but its brass fittings are still bright. It appears light, almost empty.
"There is no time to explain," Elaydren says, her fear-filled eyes darting from you to the door, and back again.
"Instructions, supplies, and gold are in this pack. Take it and go. The letter in the left-hand pocket explains everything, but you must go now! Trust me, if you can accomplish this task, the reward will be vast!" Elaydren shoves the bag at Silian, him having been the first to approach.
Suddenly the door to the street bursts open. Four kobolds leap through the door, moving in pairs. They part, going to either side of the doorway as a broad humanoid in a dark, hooded cloak enters with a light crossbow. He lifts the crossbow and launches a bolt at Elaydren, catching her in the arm.

Silian d'Thuranni |
Do we recognize the voice?
"Well at least we've gotten the daily death threat out of the way..." Silian produces a charred twig, leveling it at the metallic flesh-hater like a wand or dowsing rod as he cants the spell to rain on its parade. A small gray cloud crackling with lightning manifests above the doorway.

Akasha |
"Whatever you do, stay close to me!" Akasha says, as her dragonmark begins to pulse, a slilvery glow surrounding her hand and spreading over Elaydren as she touches her arm, before spreading to engulf her body as well.
Cast Shield other while drawing sword, Elaydren gains +1 AC +1 Reflex saves, and Akasha takes 1/2 of any damage from attacks on her.

Damn you guys are making quick work of this battle, lol.
Elaydren hid behind a table the moment she could. She looks up at Akasha and nods her head, her eyes wide in fear and showing clearly how exhausted she is.
The final kobold lunges his spear at Garotte.

Silian d'Thuranni |
"Correct me if I am wrong, but kobolds are made of flesh, right? Seems like these poor buggers are getting a raw deal."
According to this table, neither dropping the crossbow nor drawing the sword provoke, provided he has a BAB of +1, which I am presuming he does.

Jonah ... did you just cast magic weapon on Elaydren or was that a "slip of the tongue"? Also, please remember to move yourself on the map.

Thanks for the clarification, Jonah!
A thud sounds throughout the room as Silian's thundercloud strikes out at the metal man and he drops to the ground. A moment later, a final messenger detaches itself from the warforged. Silian sinks an arrow into one of the kobolds. It hisses and curses but remains standing.
Redirecting everyone else's attacks in initiative order.
Syksy beheads another kobold while Akasha wounds another.
Elaydren nods her head in thanks to Jonah as his magic washes over her, healing her injuries.
