"Grumm truly did a wonderful job with this set of armor. With this and the new enchant on my bow, I feel a bit more prepared to face anything. Now let's go see if we can find that market again. I wanted to try to find something that will help me to hit things that don't like to be hit."
Fluer luaghs lightly at Truk's words and sidles up to the larger Half-Orc.
She smiles sweetly up at Truk as her blades disappear.
"Inquisitor of Calistra..." (^_^) *Points to self*
"I'm not saying they can't be dangerous", Truk explains after Shadow makes her point(s).
"I'm saying they shouldn't be beyond reason and that maybe you need a special kind of touch to get through to them."

I understand perfectly what you are saying, but in this instance, it will not work. We will try to ask for just a short moment of their time, to just speak with spirit of the pathfinder, but they will hem and haw and say they just can't let us in and during that time we spend trying to negotiate with them only means that they will use that time to strengthen themselves with magic and reinforcements. We will then have to either retreat or fight them when they are at full strength.
Andrea looks resigned. The only way that we will be able to get those ashes is over the corpses of every single Sister of Eiseth.
Lucrezia's armor has charmed ruffian into disclosing where the dusk market is located today. His eyes traveling the well placed curvatures.
After Truk steps up and clears his throat, hopefully dispelling any bad ideas on the ruffian's part, he follows Lucrezia's directions to the Dusk Market.
"Good job Beautiful."
The dusk market is abuzz with activity. Various vendor approach offering their goods.
A few merchants sneer at the half-orc, apparently they lost some money the day before at the Devildrome. "Ain't got nutin' fer you like dat." One surly half-orc replies.
Truk sneers back.
"I didn't think you would", he says dismissively.
Andrea drifts a bit farther away and begins to discuss needing some ghost salt, occasionally flicking her hair while chit chatting. "Aye, got a bit o'dat, not much mind ye hard to come about in these parts. Really put me neck on the block to get it to."
Truk gives the girls some space while Lucrezia finishes the sale but watches from a safe distance in case the deal goes badly.
Lucrezia is showing a fair amount of thigh herself through the slits of her mail kilt.
"He spits a nasty looking black goo of chew on the ground, then wipes his nose with his dirty hand, [b]"Got me enough for 1 melee weapon, 'bout 10 of them arrows on yer back...cost ya $400 gold." He smiles, "Like I's said cut me head on the choppin' block."
Deal. Andrea gives the man..mannish person Lucrezia's gold. ;)
Lucrezia looks at the item in question, frowning at the price. Geez, that stuff is expensive, but I don't have access to spells like the others to hurt the shadowbeasts and most of my arrows passed harmlessly through the bastards last time.
With a sigh, Lucrezia says: "I'll take it." and hands over a pouch containing the money.
"Now ye need gots to rub it onto a weapon that is then placed over a hot flame for a good amount of time , it'll melt melt and form a temporary coating yer weapon. He instructs as particles of chew flies out.
Lucrezia nods at his intructions. "Alighty, thank you."
She'll turn back to Andrea. "Alright. Did anyone else need anything here before we continue on? I'd also like chance to apply this stuff before we have any 'encounters' if you don't mind. No telling what we may run into."
Andrea buys 4 anti-toxin (200 gp) if the Sisters are assassins, they will no doubt use poison.
The vendor will sell the 4 vials of anti-toxin for 220 gp.
Done. Andrea pays the man.
"Hmm, I think I'd also like to find some tanglefoot bags too."
The Massacre House is a hexagonal stone building whose slate shingled
roof comes to a sharp triangular peak. The external walls are thick, with four 10-foot vaulted passageways cutting through this stone shell to four separate heavy wooden doors. Each door is fitted with a narrow sliding window.
Truk studies the massive building.
"Are you certain its not worth talking to them first?"
Lucrecia there are no tanglefoot bags available. A few merchants mentioned they sold their last ones or haven't filled an order yet.
"Yeah, Trouble, we're sure."
Truk asks Shelyn to shield him from harm and then stows his shield.
"Let's go then Beautiful."
Three person wall wit me at the centre? And me or John or Truk if it narrows to 2? I'll be lowering me defence a bit ta sucker a few in fer ye ta get extra shots in
Duncan places himself at the front. He's got his buckler ready and draws his Bastard Sword. It sheds it's blue light.
"I guess I'll take the back row and shoot things from afar."
Anyone who is in back be sure to keep an eye out, we might get flanked from those other doors.
Lucrezia, you might want to have a gander at the door before we knock it down. I have little doubt that it is warded and trapped.Perhaps Duncan can see if there is magic on it.
Andrea starts to chant as she places blessings on the group and offers anti-toxins.
On the Group
Blessing of the Watch
AntiToxin
Resist Energy Communal-Fire
On John
Magic Circle Against Evil
On Duncan
Bull's Strength
On Andrea
Instant Armor
Aura of Doom
Duncan whispers. Me in the middle. I'm most resistant to magic.
He adjusts his helm and casts DETECT MAGIC to inspect the door while Lucretia checks it.
It is only 5 feet wide so its single file the archway is 10 feet deep. do you want any space between people?
Faelyn casts Mage armor on himself.
Lucrezia will move up front to check for traps before the group enters and then resume her position near the back if it is safe.
Andrea is at V-84
Orsin's blade makes an audible click as he reaffirms his grip, his other hand ready to cast a spell at a moment's notice.
