Seeing Doreen go down hard, Clara immediately casts Stabilize upon him.
"Grab the rod! Maybe we can break the enchantment and release these fellows."
|
Banterknell batters blue with a psychically-hurled rock . Pierce fires three arrows at the same guard, only managing to connect with the first one . Clara, meanwhile rushes to stabilize her fallen ally while shouting advice for how you might end the battle early.
-----
The green guard relocates, trying to reduce the threat of Pierce's ranged attacks, then slashes at the goblin twice.
The blue guard, badly wounded, switches his assault to the dangerous bard, but finds his target elusive.
-----
Clara, ensuring that all team mates are still breathing, races to follow her own advice and pick up the rod.
If Clara's taking the rod has no effect, Banterknell once again toots on his flute for all he's worth, sending another rock at blue and inspiring courage.
Pierce steps away from the attackef and fires his bow at the not-so-undead.
"I do like puppets, but these harpies take things a bit too far. How long have you been enthralled?"
Banterknell gives the men a sniff, expecting the worst.
"Harpy screech'd with rod in hand, but not defeat this fighting band. Now harpy lay upon the ground, others quit before they're down'd. With bad rod now in our grasp, all we need do is retrieve the clasp!" sings Pierce as he starts pouring over harpy's form, pulling on pockets and feather's alike, searching for the magical object.
Clara looks at the rod and shivers.
To the newly functioning humans she says, "Surrender accepted, though quite unnecessary now you are yourselves. Once everyone is patched up and we have found what we came for I would love to hear your stories. We can also escort you back to town."
Her first action is to head over to Doreen where she calls upon Sarenrae to provide healing.
Clara then joins in the search of the cave looking for the relic and anything else of interest, being careful to check for traps both physical and magical.

The guards both shudder at the thought of their enchantment. "It's been days, maybe weeks. He forced us to attack the minotaurs, and his hold was so strong that even when our friends were killed in the raid, they rose up as ghasts and kept serving him!"
Searching the cavern, you easily locate the harpy's stash of shinies, which includes a scroll of paralyze, a +1 weapon potency rune etched on a runestone, and an expert-quality coffer that holds a simple, scuffed, metal clasp (which matches the description of the Inheritor's Clasp that Inisa could have given you).
"We should probably escort these fine fellows back to town, though if they are up for it we could swing by the minotaurs to show them that we have not only defeated the harpy but freed those being so cruelly used.
"It would be good to set up communications between their tribe and the Society and see if we can provide them with some temporary aid. It never hurts to build good relations."
"Yep, yep. Back to the bull headed ones with us. Unfinished business and all."
BK grabs a handful of shineys testing out their suitability for juggling. He also examines the scroll to see if he could make use of it.
"Mind if I take this? I do believe I could cast the spell on this scroll."
Pierce kicks the form of the harpy one more time and then follows the party back to the minotaurs.
Doreen comes to consciousness on the ground, abdomen and arms sore from the gashes. He slowly lifts himself off the ground and glances at blood on his outfit, and then up to Clara.
"Well, that was more interesting than I intended it to be. At least I have perfected my lightning recipe! Thank you, M'dear... for everything." He gives her a sheepish smile before turning his attention to the rest of the cave with the other pathfinders.
"To the minotaurs it is!" as he offers agreement.
Banterknell poses in what he thinks is a heroic pose and proclaims "It was nothing! That's what heroes do!"
Sing, dance, and generally make a nuisance of himself is BK's plan.
Clara will make sure everyone is healed up as best she can including the guards and minotaurs. She will do her best to build positive relations with the minotaurs, hoping to set up the possibility of longer-term cooperative agreements.
If it is feasible, she will also suggest they return to town to see the guards safe, check on the others who were injured, and escort Inisa back to Absalom.
"First contact with the Minotaurs. How many Pathfinders can claim THAT! Now we just need to get someone up here who can help bridge those relationships! The Society could surely benefit from the local knowledge and customs of these beasts. Even their magics are strange compared to what we have seen!"
The halfling continues to talk excitedly about the prospects for publication and new knowledge to anyone who will listen, and likely anyone who wont.

You return to Diobel at a triumphant and leisurely pace, meeting with Inisa at the safe house where she had stashed the survivors of the ambush. She's relieved when you open the chest, and confirms that you have, indeed, recovered the clasp. After a night of rest and celebration, you find passage on a swift ship back to Absalom, where Venture-Captain Valsin is impressed with your success. He promises that the society will immediately begin studying the artifact, and that they have already reached out to the Iomadaean church to work together to understand it.
