Haste is cast on the group.

"Now you can hit them more."

With quickened steps, Creeden shifts behind one of the cultists and attacks, flanking with Ortensia.

Flurry, Defensive, Haste, Flank

1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10Dmg

Taking advantage of her positioning with Creeden, she smashed her mace into the cultist between them. Her growing collection of lacerations lent weight to her blow.

1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 2 = 16Hasted Attk
1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3Dmg

Her following strikes were more wild after a bit of gore caught her in the face.

[i]Between the three of you, you manage to drop the remaining cultists.

3 m/w chain shirts
3 m/w light crossbows with 10 bolts
3 m/w sickles
3 amulets of natural armour +1
3 cleric's vestments
3 gold unholy symbols of Dagon (worth 50gp)
27gp

Where next?

"Sweep the outer chambers?" (4-5 then 6-7?)

Ortensia downed one of the options after confirming what it was. Her lacerations from the cultist sickles closed and healed over with faint scarring she could see thru the slits in her clothing.

Those tears were promptly repaired with a mending cantrip. She went about collecting what items her companions did not partake of themselves to sell later on.

E4

This small chapel contains a simple altar of green stone at its far end. A mosaic on the wall above the altar depicts a creature that appears to be a mixture of fish, frog and human. The air is thick with the smell of rotting fish

Knowledge nature and knowledge religion

Take ten on Know. Nature for a 21.

"Nature stuff has never need my string suit. Fish don't often commit interesting crimes."

Knowledge (religion): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Tessara, you recognise that the creatures depicted are not normally venerated in Gozreh's temples.

Creeden, you recognise the creatures depicted as skum. They are hunchbacked, green-skinned humanoids with a wide, frog-like head but a mouth more akin to that of a toothy fish. They are resistant to cold.

Eleric will search the room.

Perception: 10 + 27 = 37

Once he knows it is clear and safe he will move with the group onward.

Honestly, why is evil so alluring to people? Its disgusting and vile in both appearances, actions, and smells. Ortensia muttered.

"It is easy. The promise of money, power, without immediate sacrifice. It's short term thinking for the greedy, impatient or stupid. Unfortunately, it also temps the desperate and the downtrodden."

"There are no real shortcuts in life. Anything that promises you one is trying to cheat you." Creeden shakes his head. "You always pay the price in the end."

Gozreh certainly doesn’t venerate these creatures.”

Ortensia took the time pressing forward to cast Psychic Significance, probing the area with her mind as they marched on. She cleaned her mace of its gore, switching it for her heavy flail. It dangled at her hip, flanged weights swinging in tandem with her gait.

Ortensia, you get a very strange sensation from your spell. You see townsfolk bringing their baby daughters into the temple and the vizier then hands them over to the skum. The daughters are not seen again.

On to 5?

Something heavy is against the door of this room, preventing you from opening it, although it does give slightly when you try the door.

"I'm pretty weak. I don't think I will be much here."

"Hmm." Creeden shoves against the door.

Strength Check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

...We are going to kill the cultists, the slum, and maybe burn this town to the ground. They have been offering up infant daughters as sacrifices to the creatures.I dread to think for what purpose...

Creeden, you manage to shove the door open. Three beds along the south wall of this simple chamber, along with two small desks, a chest,a table and bookshelf. Standing in the room is a man dressed in the robes of a vicar who casts a spell at Creeden

Bestow Curse - Will 16 please Creeden

Will Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Drat!

Creeden lose 6 points of strength.

Creeden initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Eleric initiative: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Tessara initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Ortensia initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

Caleb initiative: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (10) - 1 = 9

Initiative order:

Block 1: You guys

Block 2: Caleb (priest)

So Block 1, over to you.

"Ah! You'll pay for that."

Creeden rushes in and attacks the priest with a Knockout blow.

Defensive, -6 STR
unarmed strike: 1d20 + 15 - 3 ⇒ (17) + 15 - 3 = 29 for 1d6 + 9 - 3 ⇒ (5) + 9 - 3 = 11
If that hits, DC 15 Fortitude save or fall unconscious for 1d6 rounds. (New save each round to wake up.)

Eleric will try to blind the assailant. DC 19 Fort.

Creeden's blow smashes into the vicar and he grunts in pain.

Fort save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

The priest screams as his sight goes cloudy.

Tessara and Ortensia, your actions.

Tess casts Bless on the party, expecting that the halfling has things pretty well in hand.

Ortensia, over to you

Ortensia brandished her heavy flail, winding it up and throwing herself.into combat with grim focus.

1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 1 = 20Primary Attack+Bless

Her first blow connected with devastating impact. The return swing missed, leaving a pothole in the stone floor.

The vicar will try to attack Creeden

Morningstar: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25

damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

mischance: 1d100 ⇒ 78

Blinded, the vicar misses Creeden completely.

Back to you guys.

Creeden swings back at the vicar.

Defensive, +6 STR, Bless

Did my earlier hit miss?

@Ortensia, the first one hit, the second missed.

Creeden's flurry of blows hit the vicar, sending him reeling.

Eleric is will delay. The tough members seem to ha things in contro"
