Telos attacks the warhounder again, but the polearm goes too wide. Lucrezia turns around and tries to reach Telos and the warhounder before it's too late. Cade and Fang can't see or smell any more opponents. Only one warhounder and Nessian are still standing. Rod prepares to trip Nessian in case he does not surrender.

botting Eloisa

Eloisa rushes up the stairs and waits to see if Nessian surrenders. The remaining warhounder swings again at Telos but misses this time.
Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Nessian jumps up from his chair and stares at Rod. "Who are you and who told you where to find me? As long as I have the codebook the Silent Tide is not over!" he says and prepares for a fight. Rod sees that and tackles him down.

The last guard having proved decidedly agile to this point, Telos changes tactics and reverses the stroke of his polearm.

MW Bardiche attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23 for Bardiche dmg: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

"Me?" Rod suddenly realized he had a marvelous opportunity to show off... and Shelyn knows, he did enjoy that! What to do, what to do! He had to think of something quick! He was still feeling those bolstering effects from Eloisa's earlier singing...

"...uhhhahahahaha! ..I'm Rod! Rod Benteft! Champion of the Pathfinder Society! And this-- hey!" His speech was interrupted as Nessian sought to get up, leading to Rod's quick thinking to swing his flail at the crime boss' legs and knock him prone.

"Aw, dang it! I had something cool, too! Ah, screw this!" Rod pouted, before diving on top of Nessian and hoping to pin him to the ground. "As I was saying...! This is the part where you give up!"

Initiating a grapple to try and pin him. (At least, I think that's how it's supposed to go...)
Grapple/Pin Maneuver: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

Cade shifts into a flank and tries to knock out Nessian with his shield while Fang bites into him, only aware of a threat being present.

Lucrezia moves up to Telos, checking if he needs some help. With one swing Telos finally hits the warhounder in front of him and breaks some rips. The man falls and stops moving. unconscious

Rod deals with Nessian, trying to convince him to give up. "Chomper, where are you? It's your job to protect me! Stupid dog. No food and water for the next three days." Rod pins Nessian to the ground and Fang bites the man's arm.

"Stop it! I surrender, but please let me live. Take away that beast! It spreads germs in my wounds!" Nessian begs. "What do you want?"

Tch, thought as much. A coward with sway. As if I couldn't hate this guy any more. Rod thought, before forcing Nessian's hands behind his back. "The codebook! Where is it!?" he ordered, looking up at Cade and nodding to her dinosaur. "Nice work! When we get the book, take it to Yargos right away. He can get to work sending the cancellation signal!"

Meanwhile, Rod kept Nessian pinned as he waited for the others to arrive, preferably with some rope to tie up the crime boss.

"Ouch! Careful! Look at the desk. It's there!" Nessian answers.

With the guard outside dispatched, Telos moves to join his allies inside the tower.

I guess combat is over, so I rejoin them.

Rod grit his teeth, but managed to refrain from showing it. Looking up, Rod squinted before looking over to Cade. "Grab the book and get it to Yargos." As Telos rejoined the group, Rod smirked with a nod. "I'm guessing you got everything under control? You have any rope so we can keep him from running off?" he asked, shaking his head in Nessian's direction.

Cade grabs the book and rides down the stairs to hand it over to Yargos.

"Anything else needed for the ritual?"

Telos ties Nessian and Cade hands the biok to Yargos. "No, I need the code and some lanterns, thats it. I have to get to a higher point. One of the watchtowers in Absalom. There I can end the Silent Tide once and forever." Yargos says. He takes the book and some lanterns and leaves to Absalom.

You guard Yargos to the tower where he signals the abort code like written in the book. Back in the streets of Absalom you see the unnatural fog caused by the Black Echelon starting to disappear.

"Good job, Pathfinders. I think that's it. We stopped the Silent Tide!" Yargos says. "But what are you going to do with that sweaty dirtbag?" he asks while pointing at Nessian.

"Well, we are not the law, so we should take him to the authorities and let them sort it out. What do you have to say for yourself, Nessian?"

If the authorities cared, wouldn't they have taken care of this issue instead of us?

Rod nods as he grips at Nessian's bound arms. "Agreed. Though, if Absalom's laws are anything like those of Magnimar, I wager he'll not be seeing much of the Puddles, or anywhere else, for quite a while." His eyes drift to Lucrezia as she spoke. "If there is one thing I've learned from my dad, intended or not, it's this: the law can only do so much. The guards aren't champions of justice... merely keepers of order. That's why they need folks like us, to accomplish what they can't. I think, somewhere in between, is the fine balance we gotta shoot for."

Rod turned his gaze back to Yargos, frowning a bit. "What about you, Master Yargos? Do you intend to return to the Puddles district? I'm certain the Society could find use for a historian of your caliber..."

"It's hard these times to get an honest job in this city. And I'm the fifth child of five. My brothers always treated me like an animal so I wanted to be somebody, a boss of something. I decided to do what I can do best, stealing and intimidating." Nessian answers.
Bluff: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23 And telling lies :P

"I will follow you to the lodge. There is so much I want to tell the Pathfinder historians about this book. It's really interesting that after so many years the binding word still exists. And that the Black Echelon became undead with strong powers. I wonder how many families in Absalom have ancestors from Taldor who were part of the Silent Tide and they even don't know it." Yargos says.

"So you decided to take your anger out on the whole of Absalom?!" Rod snapped at Nessian, apparently unmoved by his tale, true or not. "There is always the choice to use what you know for better, not worse! Summoning the hordes of an undead invasion can't be justified by childhood anger!"

Rod glared him down as he spoke, eyes flaring with passion. "You're talking to the wrong man for sympathy for a painful childhood. But I chose to stand up, tall, and proud, put my skills to better use than petty actions. You've always got the choice, got it? You want respect? Real respect? Rise above that petty behavior! That's for little kids, to want pay back for hurt feelings. Be better than that!"

Intimidate: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Rod pulled Nessian along as he opted to take him to the city guard. "Master Yargos, I hope you'll find the Lodge a welcoming home. I'll meet up with you later - I'd like to study with you sometime. But I don't think we can call this mission successful until we take care of him." Rod nodded to the others. "Tell the captains I'll fill my side of the report when I get through with this, will you?"

Good game all! Baerlie, thanks for running it!

Conclusion:

Though only few will be aware of your bravery, you stopped the Silent Tide and saved Absalom from a potentially devastating attack. Better still you brought Nessian and his War Hounders to justice.

You have the thanks of Yargos and his friends, and they ensure that your reputation within the Puddle District is deservedly enhanced. Yargos will prove to be a friend and ally that you can rely upon in the future.

Finally, also Grandmaster Torch may prove to be a valuable future business contact.

You are always welcome! Thanks for playing with me. Please do your day job rolls, I already got them from Eloisa and Lucrezia.
