In a flash Balator sprints ahead and vaults the barrier with a single stride laying a savage strike on one of the ogres. Up close he realizes that they are not normal ogres but some type of twisted undead, the stench of rotting flesh wafting from their bodies.

Alamin gets skewered by an arrow from the second volley before she summons a force scimitar to help Balator and then turns to move towards the arrow fire trying to keep her shield and body in between Randtam and the unseen foe.

Is Quinley still with us? Have him suck up some damage and make some attacks!

Sadly, Quinley left after meeting his commitment to introduce you to Luvick.

One of the apparently undead ogres seems to be severely damaged by multiple blows and magic.

Uuranx rushes back in the direction of the arrow fire to find 3 startled archers, amazed at his alacrity.

A human form (vampire?) bursts from the sewer waters and attacks Uuranx from behind while at the same time another vampire bursts from the water near Balator and the barricade, attacking him from the rear.

Now hasted Alamin rushes towards the besieged Uuranx as her spiritual scimitar attacks the ogre once more.

I hate vamps and am at a stand still on how to kill them.

You better think of something pretty quick, I'm running out of HP.

Balator shreds through an ogre before dealing some damage to the other one. The fallen ogre's flesh slowly knits itself together. The fight will need to be finished quickly or the creature will be back on its feet shortly.

Meanwhile Alamin and Uuranx turn their vampire into a gaseous cloud from their combined blows.

Alamin attacks one of the archers and directs her spiritual weapon on Balator's vampire:

On vampire:
spiritual: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 261d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Randtam is turning angry, stupid ogre, stupid vampires,and what next?

1d20 ⇒ 14

Uuranx's blows, with Alamin's assist, cut down two of the archers. Balator badly wounds the remaining ogre before Randtam's lightning bolt blasts it to pieces.

The last vampire seeing its allies routed, flees across the waters before transforming into smokey gas and disappearing.

The final archer begs for mercy or is finished off depending on what your next actions are.

Making sure the archer hears us. We all look around to make sure this is not a delaying tactic. perception: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (8) + 17 = 25

Take his miserable life if you want to, half-Orc. This sniveling scum most likely is of no use to us..
Move closer to archer. Why should your wretched life be saved? How could you possibly help us after you and YOUR FRIENDS tried to kill us?

Search the things near the barricade.

The newly dead again ogres have nothing of value.

Randtam sees no immediate threat.

Archer to Randtam-You don't scare me little man. Whatever you do to me, our failure here will surely result in me being brought back as a miserable minion of undeath, along with my fellows.

Little man? Your failure will lead you to your being a minion of the undead. Maybe that is what you deserve. Or answer our questions and you might earn a clean death.

Look at Alamin and she knows to do her sense evil thing.

~evil as the day is long~

Archer-I have nothing to say to you; do your worst.

Clearly he is far more afraid of whatever the vampires will do to him than what he thinks you can or will do.

Quietly to AlaminWhat do you think? Clean death or let him turn. Can we change his mind and get information from him. Or do we allow Uuranx another beheading of a completely evil individual? Or take him yourself?

Maybe Uuranx can intimidate? Do not wish to waste too much time here.

***dang, I forgot about that skill. Thanks Randtam.***

Uuranx thumbs the edge of his falchion slowly..."They can only bring you back as an undead if they can find all the pieces of you"

intimidate: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17

***haha, can't even scare a mouse***

I actually laughed out loud in front of others. Love you Uuranx King of Intimidation!

.Cut his tendons and let him turn. Before an undead rebirth, there is no healing. Cuttng of your Achilles and ACL will allow you to crawl around your feeders. They will suck you to the the bone or nicely to the moment of death and allow you to live. Over and over again. Crawling at your best or but , you know how that will be.

Intimidateuntrained: 1d20 ⇒ 14

The man continues to be unimpressed with the party's vain attempts at violent peacocking.

Alamin frowns-Enough of the bluster and threats. Either we bring this man in for justice, even if it's Luvick's, or we give him justice here. Sarenrae's blade will determine his fate if you wish, although Luvick may be able to get the answers from him that we cannot.

I like that, my vote is for Luvick..

Alamin, trulely evil. Your call. I assume he will be dead and not talk with others who wish to kill us. I will stand away as you do this as you pray to Saranrae.

Or do your duty.

If Alamin does not use the sword of justice...

Randtam plunges a masterwork silver dagger through the temple of the archer. He sees the tip on the other side.

Real death only. I would wish this for myself.

I hate Caliphas. I hate our so called friends. Let us leave now and find our own way. I feel like I am being choked and manipulated. Alamin, tough to say, but I trust you. I want out of this hell hole.

Walking over to the group.

Alamin looks sadly at Randtam-You are right Randtam, we must finish our business here in Caliphas quickly. Our dealings with the bloodsucking filth appear to taking a toll on all of us.

After searching the body she pushes into the flowing sewer waters muttering a quick prayer.

As Balator said, let's go.

The 3 archers each had +1 leather, +1 long bows, MW short sword, MW dagger, and 300GP worth of coins and jewels (900 total).

One had a ring of protection +2, one had a ring of water walking.

There was also a set of burglar boots-major, a vambrace of defence, and a set of gloves of the shortened path.

The party makes its way back to Luvick's court with no further issue.

Luvick's daunting form sits on his throne talking to some other vampire lords, his voice rasps out-Your return must mean good news. At least I hope that's what it means...for your sake.

Randtam looks at Alamin knowing what shall happen as she kicks the carcass into the water.
He actually sees the anguish that crosses her face for a millisecond. Randtam knows he did not do the heavy lifting here. She probably missed the look. I might have even been firmly respectful of the Aasimar. She is stronger than I thought
As you say. Balator said Lets go.

Never saw the previous post with Luvik

"Yes, Lord Luvick, we have been successful but the news is not likely to bring joy to your ears. Radvir Giovanni is the vampire killer."

Luvick is quiet for a few moments and then-You must be right, or at least you must believe you are right. Who else knows of this? Bah...it matters not; go to his store on the surface-The Nobleman's Stitch. His coffin lies within, although I deem there will be many guardians and traps about it and they will not be asleep during the day. Stake him and bring him back to me for justice. I will find out what has caused this betrayal before I offer him to Sarenrae's kiss.

"Back to the surface guys, or should we rest first?"

Alamin looks at Balator-You are brave beyond words my friend, and I am glad to travel with you. Certainly we must heal you and the others that need it. An extra day isn't going to put Radvir beyond our reach.

Luvick provides you with plush resting quarters (unless you want to rest in the city). Either way, Alamin restores everyone to full health and once fully rested you make your way to the Nobleman's stitch (unless you decide to do something else).

Would that time enable us to figure out the treasure we just got???

Particularly the ring of protection +2, ring of water walking, a vambrace of defence, and gloves of the shortened path.

The ring of protection +2 would boost Balators' AC. Thinking that the Gloves of the Shortened Path could be handy as well for Alamin, Uuranx or Balator.

Yeah, any of the three (ring of prot, vambrace, and gloves) would be good for me also.

The rest time is more than enough for Randtam to determine the item's properties. You can deploy them as you wish before moving on.

Why doesn't Uuranx take the gloves if he has that slot open. We may need to hit something far away very hard and you hit harder than the rest of us. Uuranx can take the vambrace too if he wants.

I will take the +2 ring of protection if there are no objections. Also going to take a +1 bow.

Alamin or someone should wear water walking in case we need it for something coming up soon, we can sell at the end if we don't end up needing it.
