soon enough, the howler falls too, the battlefeild finally falling silent. The armored man, for now, is quietly leaning on his spear.
Azlana gathers everyone up and channels to heal, happening to do it close enough so that the armored man can take advantage of the healing as well, and moves any bad guy bodies that might not be all the way dead out of the way.
Then she says to the armored man
You're pretty good at the whole fighting evil thing. You should join up with us and be one of the good guys. She smiles.
the man's expression is near impossible to gauge under the armor, but at the very least it doesn't seem to be upset.
"I fight to be strong, not for morals. These cultists- hide behind numbers, superiors. They miss the whole point- to stand above others and show that you're simply better then them."
The man snorts.
"they call themselves demon worshippers, but they rely on cowardice and fancy tricks to "prove themselves". So I want to show them how wrong they are."
You sound like you should be a Kurgess worshipper. He's all about competition and proving that you are right... maybe you should look into it. The good side has some nice perks. No guilt trips, always knowing you are morally superior... that would be a good one for you. :) Good friends too. :)
She smiles again.
Who are you taking down next? Want some company?

the man is silent. His expression once again hard to read, before he pulls the spear he was leaning on out of the ground and points it at the grey garrison.
"my prey are in there, but I'm utterly stuck on how to get in. Normally, I'd just break down the door, but it's solid stone, and I lack any suitable tool to chip away at it."
Shayde steps up to the door, Stalker following. He listens for the sounds of foes on the other side, and tries to disable any lock on the door, as well as checking if the door is barred from the other side.
Azlana tries to assist Shayde in seeing how to get in.
the front door's lock clicks open, the inside now able to be entered, assumedly.

Lina glares suspiciously at the dark Knight. "I won't work beside a demon-lover. That isn't because of the oaths I've sworn, but because the very prospect disgusts me."
She shakes her head and goes to the front so she can pull open the door and take a look inside.
Stalker and Shaydde have Stealth of 16. Meh-ish.
Azlana could certainly sympathize with Lina's perspective, and didn't want to disappoint her, but Azlana felt like the guy was sending off signals that he wanted to change... He wasn't attacking them, and he seemed to have a conscience. She wanted to make sure he had the room and the support to change his ways, if that is what he chose.
I mean, obviously, if he attacked them or started murdering the good guys, she would shoot him in the head... but for now, it seemed to be going well, and she wanted to give it a chance. So, she remained silent, hoping that this wouldn't harm her friendship with Lina.
She waited while the others went in to scout.
After the door is open, Azlana follows, her bow ready.
Haruto waits for the others to go and brings up the rear.

Shayde and Stalker creep up to the doorway in order to spy on those beyond, and perhaps hear what they're talking about.
Lina also approaches the doorway with Shayde.
entering the room, several teiflings can be seen and heard gambling at the table. Severed humanoid ears and fingers are being used as gambling chips. They haven't seen you.
Azlana sees them gambling for body parts and decides it isn't worth talking. She shoots at the closest one.
(favored enemy, rapid shot)
Haruto, wanting to save on his good magic, simply fires a ray of heavenly fire at Azlana's target.
Shayde and Stalker take advantage of the tiefling's distraction to dart up to the other side of the room, before launching attacks on one of them.
Lina moves into the room and throws her starknife at the closest tiefling.
