Attacks:
+13/1d8 + 8
Note: Parried the only hit (my 27 beat his 25) so I took no damage :D (horray swashbuckler dip/combat reflexes!)
Baal grins as he brushes aside one attack and the other misses and decides to focus on the one who he hasn't hit yet, "I warned you, you screwed up."
Full round action: Spell Combat with Spell Strike targeted at Blue. If the main attack (with spell strike knocks him unconscious, Baal will target his normal attack on purple.) I need a 17 for conectration check to cast another 1st level spell (Emp Shocking Grasp)
"Hey Nozaki if none can speak about what we look like then we are good to go..."...Fenrik moves to the side of the curtains and sees if he can hear how many possible future bleeding targets are behind it... Perception:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Male Human Inquisitor of Erastil 9 [hp 69/69; F+11, R+12, W+11 (+2 vs. charms); AC 22/15/17; Init +7, Perception +14, Sense Motive +16]
Kargen looks as Baal kills one of the Legion. "Dammit. Well, I never wanted to come back here anyway." He flips the spare towel open and catches his dagger. He takes a deep breath and casts a protection spell.
Draw dagger, Cast Shield of Faith. Maybe the Legion doesn't have line of sight?
Oriandor sighs, then raises an eyebrow to Baal's powerful attack. "Yeah, think I may gloss over this part later...", the tiefling already trying to figure out how to gloss over this part in his report. He moves over to Fenrik, to survey the situation from that end as well.
AC 19 (25 w shield, mutagen and haste) (T 12, FF 17). HP 45, Fort +8, Ref +8(+9 due to haste), Will +5. Init +2, CMB 9/CMD 21, Speed 30ft/40ft on charge, run and withdraw
A legionnaire does indeed emerge from the curtains on the right side of the room (revealing another set of curtains beyond). "Out of my way!" he shouts at Oriandor, and Fenrik, prompting Fenrik to attack him, which in turn causes the legionnaire to attack Fenrik.
On the other side of the room, the grievously wounded Captain is surprised by the sudden appearance of Tarquin from around the corner. "Resisting arrest! Aiding a criminal! You're all under arrest!" Despite his wounds, he believes in what he's fighting for and strikes again at Baal.
The legionnaire strikes a solid blow, but Baal lazily knocks it aside. Seeing that the situation is getting desperate, he moves to block the staircase. This provokes an AoO from Tarquin at the -4 penalty.
Baal rushes forward again with his weapon, the blade just barely penetrating the Legionnaires defenses. He joins his erstwhile companion in bleeding all over the floor. On the other side of the room, Fenrik doesn't have as much luck.

Kargen sighs and moves to the fallen Legionnaires. "We'll be wanted, but at least not for murder." He kneels down to bind the bleeding wounds to keep the man from dying.
First aid on the first fallen Legionnaire. Heal, take 10:10 + 6 = 16
"That guy may have something to see about it.", pointing to the man, cut asunder and electrocuted by Baal.
Question: Can you aid another while unarmed without provoking? Presuming no, but gotta ask, first.
EDIT: Nvm, if I'm going to (probably) provoke, I might as well earn it.
"Hold this for me, won't you?", asks Oriandor before taking his towel and tossing it over the enforcer's head.
Going to provoke, but why not.
Swift action to use an arcane pool point for a +4 Insight bonus to my attack roll Dirty trick (wet, soggy blinding):1d20 + 4 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 2 + 4 = 23
The legionnaire by Kargen is inches from death, but Old Deadeye's faithful stops him from crossing the threshold.
At the other end of the pool, his partner swipes at a nude tiefling right before a wet towel smacks him in the face.
Scimitar AoO @ Oriandor:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 critical miss LOL that's four in seven rolls
I'll assume Nokazi will continue surrendering until otherwise noted.
The last enforcer didn't see his captain fall, so he takes a blind swing at Fenrik. The wild blade nicks the man in the shoulder and opens a bright red gash.

Baal draws a scroll from his backpack and casts it on the guard he just knocked down.
Move Action: Draw scroll of infernal healing. Standard Action: Cast said scroll. No checks because he can cast it normally. Should also stabilize the guard.
And it's hysterical to cast infernal healing on Paladins and the Godless.
Note: Baal's plan, knock unconscious, stabilize, then bring up to low HP, apologize for the misunderstanding, "encourage" the guards *cough*BRIBE!*cough* and send them on their way encouraging them to ignore us from now on. He'll communicate the first part of the plan now.
"Only knock the guard unconsious, we don't want to kill them. I have a plan for dealing with this!" Baal shouts out to his companions.

Like an angry, winged ram, Tarquin smashes his horns into the enforcer's face and knocks him unconscious. Baal drags the other Legionnaire back from the brink of death.
You have a few rounds to act before he wakes up.
"Aroden's hairy bottom," Kline swears under his breath. He gets up out of the pool and throws on a dry robe. "You could have handled that better! Now you've blown my cover and made us all wanted criminals. Good going, pesh-heads! Come on, there's a secret passage through here. Let's get out of here before reinforcements arrive."
Stepping over the unconscious body of the man by the curtains, Kline leads the group into a sauna, opens a concealed door in the corner, and ushers everyone into Azir's undercity. He shuts the door and heads further down the tunnel before coming to a stop. "So, what is it you wanted to discuss?" he asks gruffly.
If anyone is NOT following him, please let me know.

Kargen laughs. "Somehow, I think the Legion isn't going to take kindly to being shanked, no matter the reason. But let me go retrieve my things. If I don't return in a few minutes, head out without me. Oriander, do you want your things too?"
The Inquisitor dismisses his spell and then climbs the stairs back up to the lockers. He tries to see if anyone has noticed the commotion.

"Call out if you all need assistance. Be mindful. We did leave some of them bloodied and bruised and they will have undoubtedly called for back up. Disguise yourselves if you can before you grab your gear. they may be lying in wait."
Kargen heads back into the bathhouse, stepping over the slowly-healing body of the Rahadoumi by the stairs. The main floor above is pure pandemonium. Panicked guests and staff run in every direction, carrying half-worn clothes, jewels, towels, exercise equipment, and other random items. A nearby attendant sees Kargen emerge from the stairs and breathlessly asks, "What's going on down there? We heard screams! And the Legion is down there! We've called for help but they won't be here for a couple of minutes! WHAT'S HAPPENING?" It occurs to Kargen that he is still also dressed in a towel.
Everybody Else:
"Hmph." Kline grunts as Kargen stalks off. "Bloody Pathfinders. So did you come here just to blow my cover? Or are we gonna talk?"
Male Human Inquisitor of Erastil 9 [hp 69/69; F+11, R+12, W+11 (+2 vs. charms); AC 22/15/17; Init +7, Perception +14, Sense Motive +16]
"Don't you dare yell at me! The Legion says you and your bosses have been running an underground church here in this bathhouse! I'm simply appalled!"
He looks around before speaking to the attendant again. "They say they're going to arrest anyone who works here. I know it ain't your fault. But if I were you, I'd get out of here while you can and forget about this job."
Oriandor also steps over the body by the stairs, whose wounds are rapidly healing. Oriandor comes to the top of the stairs as Kargen is fishing out his stuff. The tiefling hurries and grabs his own. Nokazi's and Tarquin's lockers are nearby, but it will take more time to get their stuff. What do you do?

"Seriously, if you all just stand there like a bunch of oafs, I'm going."

GM:
Nokazi understands time is of the essence and begins to speak bluntly to Kline asking him three questions.
"We are looking to find missing Riftwardens led by Jahani Jodinaj. We know you met with her and are concerned for their safety. What happened to the Riftwardens? Where is Jahani now? And why is the Pure Legion looking for you? "
They upper floor is complete mayhem, with people running all over the place, but nobody seems to have taken particular interest in the two Pathfinders. They collect their stuff as well as their comrades' gear and... What do you do?
Everybody Else:
Whew. I was worried you all would incur mission failure by just not talking to Kline and letting him leave the city."I know where the Riftwardens are, but it’s not an answer you’re going to like," Kline says with grimace. "They attempted a raid on a compound full of Blackfire Adepts who were masquerading as slavers, but the plan didn’t work as they had hoped. For all their talent at magic, the Riftwardens aren’t the best at keeping their heads down when planning an attack. The Blackfire Adepts caught wind of their plan and struck first, capturing all four of the Riftwardens perhaps a week ago. From what I’ve been able to gather, the Blackfire Adepts are planning on moving to greener pastures--which could mean practically anywhere other than Rahadoum--and they’ve been making the most of their remaining time in Azir by interrogating their captives rather ruthlessly. It seems the Blackfire Adepts just can’t pass up a good opportunity to gloat over their arch-nemeses, but they’re sure to tire of it soon and just execute the lot of them. Last I heard, the slavers are departing on a caravan the morning after tomorrow, and you can bet that the Riftwardens will be dead before then."
After a pause, Kline asks, "What can you tell me about Sasha?"
AC 19 (25 w shield, mutagen and haste) (T 12, FF 17). HP 45, Fort +8, Ref +8(+9 due to haste), Will +5. Init +2, CMB 9/CMD 21, Speed 30ft/40ft on charge, run and withdraw
Tarquin holds up a hand. "That can wait don't you think. Now where would we be able to find these Blackfire Adepts? We need the riftwardens alive, and if, like you said, they will be killed in two days, we need to find them now. And why would the Legion be interfering. They are either after you or us. We didn't do anything besides visit Jahani's house. So either they are in league with the Blackfire Adepts or they are after you for some reason. Speak up, we only have a moment before more come." Tarquin says rather impatiently.
No one upstairs is paying much attention in the chaos. However, it occurs to both adventurers that a) their arms are now full of weapons and gear and b) the man on they passed on the stairs may wake up soon.
Everyone Else:
You're safe behind the closed secret door, talking freely in the quiet of Azir's sewer system/undercity."We're fine here for the moment. I'd like to hear more about Sasha before I answer any more questions."Have any PCs played "Veteran's Vault" or "Fortress of the Nail?"
