Sure.


Current map: Mushfens River

Alexa fiddles with the lock - making a small amount of noise - and finally is able to open it. The door is slightly stuck, because the tower has shifted due to the damage sustained, and opening it will require a hard push - which will be noisy.

With the door opened a crack, you can hear muffled conversation on the other side: a pair of voices, one male, one female. Seems to be idle chatter, that slides across a variety of topics such as food preferences or what kinds of things the unseen people will do when they are rich someday.


Human Druid; HP 42/42 | AC 15 | T 12 | FF 14 | CMD 16 | Fort +6 | Ref +2 | Will +8 | Init +2 | Perc +11 (Darkvision 60ft)

Sario moves up beside Alexa to cover her while she opens the door.

"Is it open?"

Alexa gives Sario a thumbs up, followed by two fingers.

"It'll need a hard push. Be ready to break stealth."


Current map: Mushfens River

Who's smashing their way in? Anyone? Anyone? :D


Female Aasimar Paladin (Holy Light) 7/Marshal 2. HP 75/75 ; AC 20/10/20 (24/14/24 during SMITE); F+14 R+7 W+12; Init +2; Smite evil 3/day (0); LOH/Holy Light 9/day(0);Mythic 7/day (0) Acid 5, Electricity 5, Cold 5:Daylight (0/3)

So far I'm thinking the plan is Sario and Alexa push and move clear, and we fire on anything hostile, then charge in if need be."


Human Druid; HP 42/42 | AC 15 | T 12 | FF 14 | CMD 16 | Fort +6 | Ref +2 | Will +8 | Init +2 | Perc +11 (Darkvision 60ft)

Sario pushes the door open with Alexia and then moves out of the way for the more armored folk.


Female Aasimar Paladin (Holy Light) 7/Marshal 2. HP 75/75 ; AC 20/10/20 (24/14/24 during SMITE); F+14 R+7 W+12; Init +2; Smite evil 3/day (0); LOH/Holy Light 9/day(0);Mythic 7/day (0) Acid 5, Electricity 5, Cold 5:Daylight (0/3)

Anything in obvious line of sight?


Current map: Mushfens River

Sario pushes open the door. Inside, the tower is a mess, with fallen timbers and stones, wreckage and dust - and small amounts of blood - all over the place.

As the door opens, three warrior-looking individuals look out from behind the cracked but still intact pillars ("fractured but whole," one might say). They have chain shirts and purple vests, all matching. One carries a scythe, two carry glaives, and they immediately move into aggressive positions.

Initiative: Warriors: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

Initiative: Darya: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (8) + 0 = 8
Initiative: Sario: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Initiative: Alexa: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
Initiative: Luci: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Initiative: Iomenna: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Round 1! Sario is first, then the warriors, then the rest of the party.


Human Druid; HP 42/42 | AC 15 | T 12 | FF 14 | CMD 16 | Fort +6 | Ref +2 | Will +8 | Init +2 | Perc +11 (Darkvision 60ft)

Sario backs up, falling into a chant.

Summon natures ally


Current map: Mushfens River

The warriors peek around the corners of their respective pillars, and verify that the party is coming in. They hold their positions and bring their weapons into guarded poses.

Ready action. You probably don't want to get into melee range. They have cover vs. ranged attacks from the south.

Party up!


Female Human Bloodrager (Steelblood, Celestial Bloodline) 3 HP 27/31(33/37) | AC:18(16) | T:11 | FF:17 | cmd:17(19) | Fort +5(+7) | Ref +2 | Will +1(+3) | Init. +1 | Perc:+2 | Speed 30ft

Do we recognize their vestments (the purple vests)? I'll try a knowledge local to see if I can make a connection.

Knowledge (local): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

From the doorway, Iomenna calls out to the warriors, "Hallo in there! Please stand down, we don't need to fight. So long as you are enemies of the true Enemy who has brought this city to ruin, then we are friends."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20


Current map: Mushfens River

Iomenna, you recognize these as the same kinds of garb and armor worn by the cultists that you faced down in the warrens below.


Female Aasimar Paladin (Holy Light) 7/Marshal 2. HP 75/75 ; AC 20/10/20 (24/14/24 during SMITE); F+14 R+7 W+12; Init +2; Smite evil 3/day (0); LOH/Holy Light 9/day(0);Mythic 7/day (0) Acid 5, Electricity 5, Cold 5:Daylight (0/3)

Seeing the tactical advantage the enemy had, Darya moves to draw their attention, to give the others cover to enter, and possibly convince the cultists to surrender. The fiery golden radiance of her halo glinting off of her armor, she drops her crossbow, drawing her sword as she enters the room. "You will be given one opportunity to stand down....and only one...In the name of Iomenna bet-Melkiel, current commander and Warden of Kenebres, SURRENDER YOUR WEAPONS NOW!!"

Intimidate: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23 25 if they're evil

Free action drop crossbow, move action Enter room while drawing sword. Standard action Intimidate to Demoralize.

"There is a high statistical probability of death by impalement via bastard sword if you do not comply." Alexa speaks up in support of Darya's (already quite impressive) display of sheer terror.

"A punch to the face is also likely."

Aid Another *Intimidate*: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Welp. I tried.

Darya's halo flares with divine light as she takes on the countenance of a wrathful angel. The cultists cower behind the cracked stone pillars, and then the one to the right side of the room drops his polearm and collapses onto his knees, clasping his hands over the back of his head. "Please don't kill me!" he shouts, while his comrade across the way hisses in a whisper, "What are you doing? Get up and fight!"

Other party members!

Well, may as well not lose the momentum, Luci thought to herself as she moved to stand beside Darya, though looking much more casual with her sword resting on one shoulder.

"I'd listen to her if I were you, she's even scarier when she actually fights. And, you know, there's the half-dozen equally well-trained people outside waiting to come in here and kick some demon-worshipping ass."

Intimidate: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

Forgot that Luci doesn't have any ranks in that.

Iomenna swaggers in behind the other ladies. "I believe I heard my name invoked? Ah, now I see clearly the scum we are dealing with. Yes, we've faced your kind before. They did not fare too well if I recall correctly, though it was such a brief encounter that it scarcely registers. Now, I believe we have asked you to stand down. Now would be a good time for that." She hefts her hammer into a fighting stance, as if ready to charge forward and crush the first person to oppose her.

Intimidate: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22


Current map: Mushfens River

Them's some swanky rolls! Even with no ranks Luci has got some swagger.

There's a moment of nervous tension, then it suddenly breaks like a rainstorm. Weapons clatter to the ground as the cultists' nerve shatters. "This wasn't supposed to happen! We were promised!" wails one. The other, the one that had told his friend to snap to, says, "Fine, fine, I see which way the wind is blowing. The jig is up! I surrender. Take me to the gaol or wherever."


Human Druid; HP 42/42 | AC 15 | T 12 | FF 14 | CMD 16 | Fort +6 | Ref +2 | Will +8 | Init +2 | Perc +11 (Darkvision 60ft)

Sario stops her spell before it takes form. "You are much faster as stopping things now Iomenna, Luci, Darya" Sario says as she steps inside of the building.


Female Human Bloodrager (Steelblood, Celestial Bloodline) 3 HP 27/31(33/37) | AC:18(16) | T:11 | FF:17 | cmd:17(19) | Fort +5(+7) | Ref +2 | Will +1(+3) | Init. +1 | Perc:+2 | Speed 30ft

"You're making a wise decision. Now, please drop your weapons and get against that wall," Iomenna commands, pointing toward the benches up against the northeastern section of the wall. Once they comply, she moves up to the pillars and collects the weapons.

What do we have here, DM?

Taking the rope she'd managed to salvage from her house, Darya proceeds to tie up the cultists.


Current map: Mushfens River

The cultists bear glaives, much like the ones you faced down below - in fact, you'd guess they're probably part of the same cult. They sullenly surrender and accede to bindings, clearly unhappy with the outcome but at least glad to be alive - for the moment.

One of the cultists adds, "What exactly are you going to do? The city is overrun with demons. It's best if you just leave. We're just killing time here - the boss will be back later."


Female Aasimar Paladin (Holy Light) 7/Marshal 2. HP 75/75 ; AC 20/10/20 (24/14/24 during SMITE); F+14 R+7 W+12; Init +2; Smite evil 3/day (0); LOH/Holy Light 9/day(0);Mythic 7/day (0) Acid 5, Electricity 5, Cold 5:Daylight (0/3)

Darya turns her radiant glare to the speaker. "Ad we'll deal with him when he returns, just like every other demon we've fought over the past few days. Do any of us appear afraid to you?"


Current map: Mushfens River

"Pff. You should be. He's not one of those low-level flunkies. He'll spank you good and make you his b!tches," says the foul-mouthed cultist. "I mean, throw us in a dungeon, or whatever it is you're gonna do. But best you clear out before he gets back and really ruins your day. He especially loves paladins."


Human Druid; HP 42/42 | AC 15 | T 12 | FF 14 | CMD 16 | Fort +6 | Ref +2 | Will +8 | Init +2 | Perc +11 (Darkvision 60ft)

"Who is your "boss?" Sario asks the men.


Current map: Mushfens River

Ugh somehow I didn't know that the thread was waiting on me

The cultist tilts his head at Sario's question, then says, "That's hard to answer... I mean, he's clearly a demon, but he just looks like a normal guy. Beefy, yeah, clean-cut and all, you'd think he's a priest or something, the kinda guy that women swoon over. But he's obviously not just any guy. Saw him get shot by a crossbow and he just pulled the bolt out and tossed it aside. Then he sorta saunters over to the crusader with the crossbow and waves his hand across the guy's face and suddenly his neck splits open and the crusader bleeds to death right there. He's had us keeping tabs on this area but he has... things to do, I guess? In other parts of the city? Sometimes he'll suddenly sprout wings and fly off. Maybe he's a sorcerer? I don't really know."


Female Aasimar Paladin (Holy Light) 7/Marshal 2. HP 75/75 ; AC 20/10/20 (24/14/24 during SMITE); F+14 R+7 W+12; Init +2; Smite evil 3/day (0); LOH/Holy Light 9/day(0);Mythic 7/day (0) Acid 5, Electricity 5, Cold 5:Daylight (0/3)

Making sure to tighten the loud-mouth's bonds to be just uncomfortable enough to hurt without doing any real damage, Darya ties them one to the other, so that they can be more easily led back. "We want to look around here a bit before we take them back?" she asks.


Female Human Bloodrager (Steelblood, Celestial Bloodline) 3 HP 27/31(33/37) | AC:18(16) | T:11 | FF:17 | cmd:17(19) | Fort +5(+7) | Ref +2 | Will +1(+3) | Init. +1 | Perc:+2 | Speed 30ft

"Yes, we should see if there's anything worth recovering that these ones haven't already despoiled," Iomenna says quietly to her companions, jerking a thumb at the bound cultists. "But let's keep an eye out for this master of theirs. Even if he's not a demon in his own right, he sounds formidable, and might have something of the demonic within him, just as I have some small part of the angelic within me."


Current map: Mushfens River

The cultists are each wearing a masterwork chain shirt and carrying a masterwork glaive. Each also has a mundane dagger. There is one potion of cure light wounds, one scroll of cause fear, and one scroll of comprehend languages, much like the ones you found in Neattholm while fighting cultists there.

What next? Note that the staircase down on the north side is not completely choked with rubble, but the staircase up is collapsed and the roof is gone.


Human Druid; HP 42/42 | AC 15 | T 12 | FF 14 | CMD 16 | Fort +6 | Ref +2 | Will +8 | Init +2 | Perc +11 (Darkvision 60ft)

'Should we check down stairs?" Sario asks as she relieves the men of their weapons.

With everyone else having things under control, Alexa finds a quiet spot to dig out her sketchbook, ink & quill, and settles in with her book in her lap.

Craft *Painting*: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

After a few minutes, it's obvious that whatever Alexa's sketching isn't turning out the way she hoped. "Eh, this can wait until later... I'll help searching the downstairs."


Female Aasimar Paladin (Holy Light) 7/Marshal 2. HP 75/75 ; AC 20/10/20 (24/14/24 during SMITE); F+14 R+7 W+12; Init +2; Smite evil 3/day (0); LOH/Holy Light 9/day(0);Mythic 7/day (0) Acid 5, Electricity 5, Cold 5:Daylight (0/3)

Darya glances over at Alexa with a curious look before nodding. "Yes, we definitely want to check it out. One of us should probably stay up here to guard them though." she says quietly.


Current map: Mushfens River

Arrange your marching order on the map and decide who's staying behind...


Human Druid; HP 42/42 | AC 15 | T 12 | FF 14 | CMD 16 | Fort +6 | Ref +2 | Will +8 | Init +2 | Perc +11 (Darkvision 60ft)

"I can stay behind with these men." Sario says


Female Aasimar Paladin (Holy Light) 7/Marshal 2. HP 75/75 ; AC 20/10/20 (24/14/24 during SMITE); F+14 R+7 W+12; Init +2; Smite evil 3/day (0); LOH/Holy Light 9/day(0);Mythic 7/day (0) Acid 5, Electricity 5, Cold 5:Daylight (0/3)

"Alright. If they give you any trouble, just shout." Darya says giving the captives a cursory glare. "Alexa, maybe you should scout a little ahead of the rest of us."

So Alexa, Darya, Iomenna, Luci

"Agreed. You seem quite efficient with your scouting abilities after all, Miss Dorne. Give me just a moment to try a few things out first, though."

Iomenna grabs one of the cultists' glaives and gives it a couple test swings. "Nice craftsmanship on this thing. I don't think I wanna know where you boys got such nice gear," she says, glancing sidelong at the bound men. She also holds up one of the chain shirts, checking it for size. "Hmm...might need to let it out in the chest a little, what with you boys being so scrawny, but I think I can get by with this. Darya, my dear, could you help me out of my breastplate?" She enlists her aasimar friend's assistance in removing her finely decorated, but somewhat thin parade breastplate, then throws the chain shirt on over her clothing.

So, I'm gonna grab one of the glaives and one of the chain shirts! Yay for looting humanoid warriors!


Current map: Mushfens River

Alexa, you in for scouting? Or not gonna risk going on alone? :)

Alexa takes point and goes a-scouting...

Stealth: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

...and as she goes to stow her sketchbook away, she drops it with a *THUMP*.

"Dammit."


Female Aasimar Paladin (Holy Light) 7/Marshal 2. HP 75/75 ; AC 20/10/20 (24/14/24 during SMITE); F+14 R+7 W+12; Init +2; Smite evil 3/day (0); LOH/Holy Light 9/day(0);Mythic 7/day (0) Acid 5, Electricity 5, Cold 5:Daylight (0/3)

"Sure" With a little smile, Darya moves to help Iomenna out of the breastplate and adjust the chain shirt after putting it on. "Definitely needs taking out, I'm sure we can get that done once we're back." the aasimar says flashing her a grin.

Iomenna laughs softly at Darya's suggestive grin, "Alright, lady, keep it in your pants! Haha!"

"...we ARE in the middle of an operation here, in case you hadn't noticed." Alexa speaks up as she gathers up her sketchbook.

"Save it for when we get back to the Heart."


Current map: Mushfens River

When Alexa drops her journal, and there's no immediate response, she at first thinks that all's clear. She picks up her sketchbook and whispers back up the stairs, at which point she hears the distinctive sound of wood scraping on stone: A chair being pushed back, one that she couldn't see from her angle along the circling staircase.

A muscled man with a complex tattoo of Baphomet's magic circle on his torso strides into view. His skin is deep red and he has four smooth horns rising from his head.

"What are you doing dithering up there? Do you have something for me?" he says in a smooth, calm voice as he moves to a spot in the room where he can see Alexa and she can see him.

...well, shit. Alexa's mind starts to race. It doesn't sound like he knows we've subdued his subordinates. See if we can keep his suspicion from being aroused any further.

"Nothing important, milord. Just some loyalty issues we're working out amongst ourselves. My apologies for the distraction." The aasimar twitches her nose and does one of the things she does best--namely, lie like a rug.

Bluff?: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Still grinning, Darya's expression shifts as she hears Alexa's voice responding to a deep gruff call from below.

'$#!+'

Drawing her sword slowly, she presses her back against the wall, ready to dash down at the first sign of anything going wrong.

Sense Motive: 1d20 ⇒ 10

It seems the Force is with you.

There's a hesitation that lasts for two... three... four seconds, then the red-skinned devil-man says, "Well don't just stand around. Report? We can't have any internecine struggles now, not when we're going to be leaving in a few days."


Female Human Bloodrager (Steelblood, Celestial Bloodline) 3 HP 27/31(33/37) | AC:18(16) | T:11 | FF:17 | cmd:17(19) | Fort +5(+7) | Ref +2 | Will +1(+3) | Init. +1 | Perc:+2 | Speed 30ft

Iomenna doesn't quite hear Alexa's voice from below, but she does see Darya's response, and her smile disappears as she readies her new glaive and points it toward the open door. Trusting that Alexa will let them know if she needs a hand, she stays put for the moment, but signals a ready to charge in if things go south.


Female Demon-Blooded Tiefling | AC16 FF15 T11 CMD15 | HP 18/18 | F7 R4 W7 Paladin 2

Luci had been smiling as she watched Iomenna and Darya flirt, curious to watch it from an outside perspective for once. Her expression changed alongside Darya's though, readying her sword at the same time.

Come on Alexa, she silently cheered, lie that gorgeous ass off. Assuming I'm allowed to be thinking this. Lymneris? Care to weigh in at all? She wasn't expecting an answer, but figured it never hurt to give a deity an opening if they happened to be paying attention at the time.

Sario, eyes the men she is watching, leveling her spear at the throat of the man who was less compliant.

Coup de Grace if he spoils this: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 1) + 6 = 8

Just wow haha

Alexa smirks. That actually worked. Keep talking. Everything will be fine.

"We had a minor Crusader incursion. We've repelled it, but it's stirred some concerns. Some attempted to leave, claiming we haven't made enough progress on our objective to warrant staying." The aasimar says, her face turning serious and stony. "They're back in line."

"How is everything progressing, milord? Do you require assistance?"
