Sandy picks one of the apple and bits into it.

Grimma apples are the best!!

Still unsatisfied, Thak stows the apple in his pocket.

Forgot about Sandy. Lilly will also look at her after casting detect evil.

Hmm...

To be doubly certain, Thak scans the apple for magic.

Thak do you have detect magic?

Yes Sandy. Glad you like it. Lillyanna tell me if you like it? It took me 6 months to grow this batch. A lot of love went into it.

Grimma smiles and looks expectantly at Lillyanna, Jensida and Timmy to try the apples.

I do.

Still facing away, Thak draws his bow with his right hand, tossing the apple up and down with his left.

"Interesting... exactly how much if your 'love' is magical, ma'am Grimma? Because there does appear to be a magical presence within this little treat."

The dwarf turns and faces her. "Would you mind explaining that, if you please?"

A bit confused by the faint aura about Sandy, Lillyanna casts Detect Magic and looks over at the girl, wondering perhaps if she is some creature in disguise. After all, children are inherently good, right...?

"What right have you got to summon us here and then take our weapons? Are we under arrest or something? Your mayor can meet with himself. I aint giving you sh*t." Angrim turns and walks away, muttering under his breath.

Grimma looks shocked and spammers

What do do you mean mean?? It's just nice apples I grow.

It's ok Captain!!! Let them pass.

A certain man walks out. He is frail and wears glasses with a head full of white hair. You can sense great magic within this frail old man.

The guards parted and let him pass through.

Pardon our manners, it's just that recently we have a series of murders in this town You cannot blame us to be careful. Come inside, I have prepared us some tea.

The mayor turned and entered into the house.

Sense motive: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

Thak raises a shaved eyebrow and tries to determine whether Grimma is telling the truth.

"I can sense magic. This apple has a magical aura."

Grimma looks at Sandy worryingly.

Sandy frowns and speaks.

Who are you?? Alicia will not be pleased Now I say eat the apple!!

Everyone roll Will Save please

Will: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19
Is this a mind-affecting spell? If so I get to roll twice and take the better due to my Spellbreaker archetype
Second roll (just in case): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

will save 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

"Perhaps the little girl should also explain the aura of evil that clings about her? As well as telling us who this "Alicia" is?"

"Murders eh? Heard in the tavern that everything was right peachy in this town. In fact, we just come from leavin' our charge to a picnic in the forest. That's soundin' like a worse idea now with this talk o' murders."

She is with Grimma Not to worry then, she is a skilled hunter and should be able to take care of your friends.

Rustin smiles

I am Rustin Lenin mayor and founder of Green Hollow. My purpose here today is to ask if you know a certain man that sat at the tavern last night? Barnabas told me that he passed you a certain note. May I enquire the contents of it?

Angrim will turn warily and follow the man inside. When asked about the note he will respond truthfully, "I don't know the man, and wasn't handed anything."

"I don't know a thing about any note. I was in for a cup of ale, and I was a bit disappointed at that."

1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29(additional +4 if enchantment)

Yes, I'm very interested in Alicia, Jensida says, holding her apple. She makes a quick motion with her hand, casting detect magic. If she has time she concentrates on the apple for around twenty seconds before considering.

Kn. Arcana to identify aura: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

of course, all of this is conditional on beating the will save.

I see...what about you?

Rustin points towards Grollus.

Roll a bluff check Terflynn and Grollus

"I don't know anything about a note either."

Bluff: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (5) - 2 = 3

to be fair, Terflynn actually *didn't* see a note, but I'll roll perception to see if he accidentally did, and bluff to conceal that I guess. But he certainly didn't read it, whatever it was

Perception: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 23, Bluff: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (12) - 2 = 10

Rustin looks at both Grollus and Terflynn and his countenance darkens.

I warn you. Do not ever lie to a wizard. It may be the last words you speak coherently.

After the threat, he visibly relaxes and smiles.

Of course, I understand you have you own reasons not to tell me the truth. Anyway the purpose of me asking 3 armed guards like yourself here is employment.

The man who passed you the note is someone we believed to be connected to the 4 murders in our town. We believe he is currently hiding in the orphanage and he possess dark magic powers. We do not understand why would he be interested in an orphanage but apparently he believes there is a conspiracy in that place.

Rustin pauses and considers before whispering in a ear shot volume.

The children of the 4 murdered families are currently in the orphanage. Captain Borbosa here has sent 2 guards inside and found nothing, it is a perfectly normal school. However, they mysteriously disappeared the next morning. Never reported for duty...just disappeared. We have interrogated the orphanage nun, Sister Claudin. She seems innocent and even my magic suggest she knows nothing too...

Rustin sighs.

Would 10,000 gold be sufficient to engage your services? Infiltrate the orphanage during the twilight hours and seek the man. We call him the Ghost for easy reference. Seek him and bring him in. Captain and his guards will accompany you for this mission. I believe once we get the Ghost, the mystery of the 4 deaths and disappearance of the 2 guards will be unveiled.

Awaiting Timmy to roll Will Save.

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

A force slammed into each of the heroes mind.

The force was so great that it pushed Thak, Lillyanna and Jensida to the floor. However, somehow they managed to resist the enchantment.

The enchantment however took over Timmy's mind as he slipped into a sub conscious state.

Eat Apple....

Receiving the overbearing command, Timmy obeyed and bit into the apple.

Timmy immediately dropped the apple from his hand as he collapses onto the ground.

Sanday saw that the magic had no effect on the rest shriek at Grimma.

Go kill them!!

Yes young lady!! Grimma obeys!!!

Grimma upon hearing her command screamed and charged at Thak Lillyanna with axe raised.

Upon seeing Grimma charged, Sandy took out what seems to be a black parcel as she threw it unto the ground. There is a loud burst as smoke began to released from the device obscuring Timmy and Sandy.

Timmy you are under the effect of Eternal Sleep.
Eternal Slumber (Su): The witch can touch a creature, causing it to drift off into a permanent slumber. The creature receives a Will save to negate this effect. If the save fails, the creature falls asleep and cannot be woken. The effect can only be removed with a wish or similar magic, although slaying the witch ends the effect. The witch can use this ability to poison food or drink, causing those who ingest it to make a save or fall into an eternal slumber. She can only have one such dose of poison at any one time, and it loses its potency after 1 minute if not consumed. Whether or not the save is successful, a creature cannot be the target of this hex again for 1 day.

Roll spell craft to identify it.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21 Though, I didn't think I'd have time to concentrate on it with Grimma charging at us. Or are we assuming the detect magic came before?
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Grimma's under a spell. Don't hurt her too badly if possible. Jensida climbs to her feet. Noticing that Grimma is focused on Thak and Lillyanna, Jensida charges in towards Sandy.

Are we in initiative?
Edit:Initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

"I will deal with Grimma, you two take Sandy."

Initiative 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
Attack 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
Damage 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Hi sorry, Sandy has already disappeared with Timmy as the fog clears later.. Only Grimma is left.

[Round 1 initiative]

Heroes
Grimma

Timmy as you are now asleep you will be in dream land and you will be engaged in a dream.

As the fog clears Jensida stares wildly. Diggy's gone. So is Sandy.

I assume that my allies are within 50'of me?

Jensida makes a low sound in the back of her throat. Touching her holy symbol, Jensida says a quick prayer to Sarenrae. Then she moves in to where Grimma stands.

Cast bless. Move 50 (or less) to stand next to Grimma.

Just assume Lilly made that statement before the fog cleared.

Sense motive: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Thak drops his bow as Grimma charges towards him. Opening his mouth, he feigns a convincing imitation of Sandy's voice- "Grimma no I'm Sandy that other one was just pretending, don't kill us!"

Bluff:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31

Uuurrrggghhhhh!!!

Grimma screams incoherently at Thak before slashing her axe at him.

Charge Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1

Your turn.

Did Lilly's first attack hit?
round 2
attack 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
damage 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
confirm attack 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
extra damage if confirmed damage 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Lillyanna takes another swing at Grimma.

Thak tsk-tsks at his failure and gives Grimma an irritated expression. Reaching out he tries to trap her in his arms.

Swift action- burn a Ki point to gain +4 AC for a round
Grapple (triggers AOO)- 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

Sense Motive on Lenin: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

Lillyana 2 attacks strike Grimma. If it hurts, there is no indication on her face. She struggled and screams as Thak trapped her in his arms. She spits and bites at Thak like a rabid dog.

Timmy dreams of pie. Delicious Hostess fruit pies!

Jensida moves forward, Good idea Thak. I've got some rope, let's tie her up. Jensida reaches out, attempting to help Thak subdue Grimma.

Assist in the grapple
Grapple: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 Ugh. That's no help. Oh well, at least it's only an assist. Thak's still got her.

That I do.

Thak attempts to pin her to the ground.

1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20
