Arianna will move behind the remaiming Maiden and attack with her rapier.
Attack roll:
Damage:
Grey Maiden 1
Grey Maiden 2
Jerin quite easily touches the first Grey Maiden, who is dazed.
Krenn's attack hacks into the first dazed Grey Maiden and then with his cleave he slams into the second woman, making her cry out as she falls to the ground bleeding out, but still alive.
Arianna comes out with her rapier and stabs into the final Grey Maiden, her sword peicing stright through the last one as she too crumbles too the floor next to the first one.
The two large doors they were guarding are locked.
Curnach nods approvingly at Krenn's axemanship.
Quick and clean. Your prowess is remarkable master dwarf.
Curnach calls upon the Green Faith to bless the group once more and then repeats the same motions he used to make a hole in the wall- tearing a new hole into the wall beside the heavy door.
As the wood warps and shapes you peer into a room filled with many beds of moaning and diseased looking patients. They all appear to have had surgury done on them with vicious scars upon their body, however you noticed that none of them actually have any signs of the disease.
All the patients are restrained by leather straps that bind the figure to the sturdy metal frames of the white-sheeted beds. These are all Varisian in appearance. The room's centre stretch simple wooden worktables, each covered in fluid-filled beakers, intricate glass tubes, small burners and other alchemical instruments.
You see three of the queen's physicians staring back down at you four as you manage to warp the wood of the walls and make your way in here. They all have their sticks use for investigating sours and opening wounds ready as weapons.

Surprise round:
Jerin walks up to the farthest doctor getting ready to Daze that one...
will:
From the combined fire of Curnach and burning one of the physician before Krenn lodges his axe in the physician, knocing this man to the floor, bleeding out.
The Queen's Physician manages to resist Jerin's attack and doesn't get dazed.
Before Curnach's attack the Physicians move, one who is in mellee with Jerin who he tried to daze used his hand signals communicating with the only standing physician who moves into flanking around Jerin.
Queen Physician 1:
attack:
damage:
Sneak Attack:
Queen Physician 2:
attack:
The first Physician hits Jerin where it hurts with the weapon, using it like a club by smacking him with it violently. Curnach's second attack burns the Physician that moved in behind Jerin.
Arianna will move to square P-12, unraveling her scarf as she goes. Once there she will attempt to wrap the scarf around the Physician's legs and bring him to the ground.
CMB (trip):
Krenn's attack on the second physician nearly takes him down and Curnach's fire finishes him off whilst Arianna unwraps her scarf and with ease trips the last physician who is now dazed and prone on the floor.

Jerin reaches down to daze the physician again...
and then makes a move action 15 feet back to let the others at him
Krenn, I believe he is all yours. he says smiling.
Curnach ignores the remaining melee and inspects the varisians in the room.
Native Varisians again... They seem to have a natural immunity to the disease. Looks like the doctors are trying to find out why.
Curnach then inspects the door leading into the next room.
Krenn steps in and with a swift movement he brings the weapon up high before bringing down the axe and removing the doctor's head with ease, rolling away.
You notice that from the combined unnessacery surgury and being drugged up to keep quiet they don't have the strength to get up and walk on their own for now, but you think if they were left to have the drugs run their course in the system then after some time they'll be able to get back up, however they would still need recovery time from this entire endevor.
The door leading to this room appears to be unlocked.
Now that we have enough masks and garb to disguise ourselves, should we go ahead with the disguise, it might at least buy us a moment of surprise when we meet things around here?
I don't think our disguise is going to be worth anything with Krenn with us, and I suspect that the doctors and maidens aren't allowed in the basement anyway, considering its access is limited to a piece of machinery that is not with the lift itself. Ready yourselves... he finishes, waiting for the group to gather and then throwing open the door into the next room.
You enter what appears to be the final room, converted into a sizable laboratory with blood, bile and other humors bubbling away in the many oddly formed beakers and twisting tubes. Any wall space left unobscured by cabinets or over-laden bookshelves is covered by worn parchments depicting magnified aspects of human anatomy in grisly detail, pierced with pins and lags like the war maps of a veteran campaigner. In the corner, a desk of elegantly carved white ash beart the image of a heard of antelope, but the staint of dark chemicals and gore disfigures the once-beautiful piece. Sat behind this desk is Dr. Davaulus who appears to be quickly packing things away which you just caught him in doing.
His face turns red as she starts shouting.
"How dare you break into my office!" he shouts as if scoulding a child that spilt ink on his parchment. "You are interrupting important work being done to find a cure to this horrible plague, wore commissioned by the queen herself I might add and your breaking in here can be seen as high treason! However, if you all leave now and clean up the mess you've made, I will see to it the queen doesn't hear about this."
Dr. Davaulus:
Curnach:
Jerin:
Kren:
Arianna:
He appears to be very truthful with what he's saying, but from what you've seen so far there are doupts in your mind.
He appears to be hiding something and even though he appears very confident with what he's saying and how he's saying it, you manage to point out he's sweating slightly when talking and is holding something back.
Your not being truthful with us. The stink of your dishonesty marks you... Curnach says, immediately casting Faerie Fire next to the doctor and illuminating him in a violet outline. If successful, Curnach smiles grimly.
You were very successful in giving Croft's agents the slip; perhaps you employed illusionary magic- you won't find us so easy to pass by.
He goes silent when Curnach confronts him and then just grins, drawing his rapier for defence and gives a confident smirk.
"You all realise that your foolish crusade to save the city will end in your blood being spilt." he sneers "This disease is the world's way to bring back balance and the only way for civilization to grow and prosper, parts of society that hold everything else back must be periodically pruned. Korvosa will be stronger at the end of these dark days, a place you and I would be proud to call home. Come, help me spread this disease and remove the riff-raff and make this a perfect world."
Dirty swine, you even admit to your crimes? We arrest you in the name of Korvosa for treason.
We will see how confident you are after you are put under question via magical methods and admit to all you have done as well as all who have conspired in this madness!!! Krenn, take this fool.
Jerin prepares to cast in case Davaulus tries anything...
You know nothing of balance, only evil, Davaulus. I will ensure you hang, if you survive the four of us.

Jerin will cast Daze on him.
This spell clouds the mind of a humanoid creature with 4 or fewer Hit Dice so that it takes no actions. Humanoids of 5 or more HD are not affected. A dazed subject is not stunned, so attackers get no special advantage against it. After a creature has been dazed by this spell, it is immune to the effects of this spell for 1 minute.
The Doctor is uneffected by Jerin's spell. He laughs at the spell as he recognises it.
"You severly underestimate me, boy." he says confidently as he acts holier than thou towards the group.
Arianna will cast Grease on Davaulus' weapon DC:15 Reflex save to retain his grip on it.
The doctor keeps hold of his weapon for now. His rapier appears masterworked, though that's all you can tell for now.
Curnach begins summoning, taking a careful step back.

Krenn comes in and swings his axe at the doctor, gashing him hard, though he grins as he is confident that he managed to dodge taking a far more deadly blow.

"You are fools to mess with the natural order to weed out the weak." he looks over at Krenn and begins to cast defensively.

Krenn falls over in a bout of laughter. You don't know what the joke's about, but you've seen Jerin use it enough to know what the spell is.

Neither spell appears to effect him as he is still in a hostile position and he hasn't fallen to the floor laughing from Jerin's spell.
Curnach finishes summoning as a Cheetah with a golden aura steps out onto the material plane next to him. Curnach grins.
Bring him down for Korvosan Justice... he whispers to the animal, uncaring that it cannot understand him. The beast charges at Davaulus with alarming speed, using tooth and claw as it leaps through the air in a pounce...

Seeing Krenn's predicament, Curnach knows of no way to help. With an apologetic shrug, he nonchalantly hurls a fire bolt at Davaulus.
VS Touch, -4 for firing into melee included
Fire damage
The bite from the celestial creature appears to have hit home, making the good doctor stammer a bit and grit his teeth as it appears to have been hurt far more than a average creature's bite.
"Heh, looks like even the dwarf believes he's a fool just like the rest of you." The doctor smirks as he gets makes sure to lash out at Jerin.
