Lyn had been happily humming to herself until Yargos called out about the signal. Quickly her face got halfway serious, and she actually seemed somber upon discovering the dead guards.

Baru moves carefully..
Floorboard: *Creak*....
Keera is first to see the sights of 2 eerie cloaked figures appearing.
Holding ancient sickles, they silently display the intent to kill you.
Asami & Roc
Baru
Lynthara
Kenji
Sele
Black Echelon

Baru move forward and stops 20' from the green enemy. He mixes together some components and tosses the mixture at the green enemy.
[ooc]Tanglefoot bomb. DC:15 Reflex
Tanglefoot Bag: A tanglefoot bag is a small sack filled with tar, resin, and other sticky substances. When you throw a tanglefoot bag at a creature (as a ranged touch attack with a range increment of 10 feet), the bag comes apart and goo bursts out, entangling the target and then becoming tough and resilient upon exposure to air. An entangled creature takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls and a –4 penalty to Dexterity and must make a DC 15 Reflex save or be glued to the floor, unable to move. Even on a successful save, it can move only at half speed. Huge or larger creatures are unaffected by a tanglefoot bag. A flying creature is not stuck to the floor, but it must make a DC 15 Reflex save or be unable to fly (assuming it uses its wings to fly) and fall to the ground. A tanglefoot bag does not function underwater.
A creature that is glued to the floor (or unable to fly) can break free by making a DC 17 Strength check or by dealing 15 points of damage to the goo with a slashing weapon. A creature trying to scrape goo off itself, or another creature assisting, does not need to make an attack roll; hitting the goo is automatic, after which the creature that hit makes a damage roll to see how much of the goo was scraped off. Once free, the creature can move (including flying) at half speed. If the entangled creature attempts to cast a spell, it must make a concentration check with a DC of 15 + the spell's level or be unable to cast the spell. The goo becomes brittle and fragile after 2d4 rounds, cracking apart and losing its effectiveness. An application of universal solvent to a stuck creature dissolves the alchemical goo immediately. Crafting this item is a DC 25 Craft (alchemy) check.
DC:15 reflex for 1/2 splash. 5 splash
"I might be able to keep them stuck in place, while the rest of you take care of them!"
Asami moves north, ending between Baru & Lynthara. She keeps her rapier at the ready.
Roc remains.
Baru lobs a tanglefoot bomb at green, it explodes violently, leaving dust and boneshards upon a cloak where it once stood.
The blast takes down blue as well.
Lynthara moves closer.
Kenji keeps a readied punch.
Sele prepares an attack on the opposite side of the opening.
Black Echelon:
A third appears, provoking the readied punch from Kenji, which missed and hit only cloth.
. Kenji sidesteps, easily dodging the attempt.
Keera
Keera's flare does nothing to the undead operative, but makes a flashy sight nonetheless.

Keera flares to no avail.
The roc goes for the attack, but deals little damage.

So this is what happens when I step out for a weekend...
Asami proudly steps up to stab the boney opponent, but it seems to do nothing whatsoever. The only response is a soft motion with its head, a silent BOO if any.
With Sele's overhead swing, he destroys the undead operative, sending bones scattering.
Combat over. Will you search the rest of the granary? They were busy after all.
As Asami starts exploring the silo NE, she notices a rusty chest, but when she gets to it, a hail of grain and the flash of a weapon strike her, luckily she takes a mere 2 damage from an undead which had hidden itself within the grain. From another heap of grain a wall of mist springs forth, shedding fog on a 30ft radius.
Asami jabs and knows she hit something, but like before, her attack does relative little harm to the bonehead.
Kenji is quick to join Asami in combat, but the grain is crunchy enough to make his feet unsteady.
And with Keera & Alacorta's assault, the last two skeletal operatives in the granary fall permanently. The only items you find are sickles and the vials of gutwither poison.
With thankfully the situation averted, Yargos wishes to make haste.
"It won't take long, just don't fall behind."
Yargos takes you through a maze of waterlogged tunnels, eventually leading to a meeting hall, where a muscular man with many a burnscar sits within a pool. 2 women renew pouring water over his scarred torso. 2 heavily armored half-orcs with greataxes stand alongside of him.
Yargos: "Be careful, Grandmaster Torch is an influential and powerful man. Angering him is unhealthy."
Grandmaster Torch: "So, to what do i owe the company of 6 new faces, and a pet bird?"
"Ah, now that is a serious claim, can you prove it though?...I know where he is, but to rat out a talented young potential crimelord doesn't come cheap. 6000 gold pieces is my price."

"Hey, they call you Torch, huh? Is it because of all those burn? That is, if that's the source of those scars. I got one here where a big cat bit me! Anyway, that silly crime lord of yours won't be able to control a horde off undead. And they'll sack the city. Might slow down your business for awhile..."

Asami grins at Master Torch's words. "Well, now, I should agree it's good to foster good will toward such a future crimelord, if he can indeed live up to the potential you ascribe him. Why not test him? Send us towards him, and see if he's up to the task of handling us. If he fails, consider how you have just gained the favor of a group with even more potential than this young crime lord."

Keera tries to aid her companions serching his mind for reasons to avoid paid so huge amount of money.
You need proof? I can show you the poison they tryed to use in the granary if this is proof for you. But if a man has became so influential as you, surely he could discern truth of lies from the people he talks to.
And you´re not ratting anyone, you´re protecting your own bussiness.
If the poisoning plot had been successful, how many of yours contacts would had died? How many money, or favors, would you lose due to debtors death?
Even that crimelord is able to control hundreds of undeads, if his plot is successfull you will lose your influence and control of the city. And if he isn´t able, all of us will face death.
Don´t haggle with us, and take advantage of the situation. Prepare your men reclaim is business, for when we catch him. Surely this will make you gain much more than 6.000 gold pieces.
Grandmaster torch looks unamused at Lynthara's attempt.
"You're being very casual here little one."
Asami's attempt causes a small grin.
"Che...no my dear, not going to happen." Keera's poor attempt does little to grandmaster Torch, however the mention and proposal of the poison catches his attention. "Poison you say, intriguing."
"Hmm, these do look like old design vials. Ok, so maybe the story for finding him is legit. I've another idea instead. I’ve recently come into possession of a series of safes. Unfortunately, the safecracker I employed has turned out to be quite useless. If you can coax even three of the fie safes open, I could be persuaded to disclose Nessian’s location and dispense with my regular fee entirely. These chests are remarkably unique and I have the foreboding suspicion that,
in this case, the receptacles just might be worth more than their contents, so I’d rather you didn’t smash them open. Oh! One more thing: if my diviner warns me you have crossed me and stolen the contents, there will be repercussions." He says this with a most serious face that leaves little to the imagination.
"Agreed?"
Grandmaster Torch nods. "Good." He snaps a finger and an attendant shows you to a small side room with the five chests displayed.
#1) The lock of this iron cask contains a laughing devil’s head.
#2) This red box has been inset with a trio of golden faces: the first appears stern, the second angry, and the third fumes with hatred.
Negative emotions make this chest react. DC 12 intimidate, will save, UMD or perform (acting)
#3) The lid of this stone chest is covered with a relief of carved ivy.
There's letters among the leaves of the carvings.
It is combined with a riddle that says: For messages i gain sweet release, to others i am the symbol for love or peace.
Int check here.
#4) This sealed stone chest has no visible lock or hinges. No
decoration or writing of any kind can be found.
Free to figure out, try whatever. :)
#5) A strange stylized writing wraps around the whole of this
rectangular chest. Stranger still are the ten small "pores" that run along the box’s lid.
A hidden panel is on the left side of the box, but without means to open it. The odd letters and symbols on the side need a DC7 trained linguistics, bardic knowledge or any music related perform skill, revealing this is a musical tune.
DC 12 perform (wind instrument, flute/trumpet) to play the tune on the pores to open the chest.
Lynthara notices something about chest #4
There's glammer magic on this chest.
DC 14 will for disbelief.

Lyn points to the fourth chest.
"There's a magic aura on that one, but when I looked I didn't notice anything wrong with it. Can one of you check it too?"

Kenji manages to flawlessly pick the lock on the 1st chest.
He also makes a mean stare at the 2nd chest, it suddenly opens as if losing a contest.
It's a certain white bird, what was the name again? You have to say it out loud too.
The 4th chest requires DC14 will to see that
