Panting from exertion, Mortimer clutches his aching ribs and stays in situ.
"Mort, look! I'm coming!! Now, which one is the one we're playing oopsie-topsie with?"
"The first one that has enough guts to come through the curtain, Sol."
He glowers at the pair of Champion Lizards and kicks the trident laying beside him away. "One of them is evidently too cowardly to use this as an actual melee weapon, while the other would just as soon spit at a threat than go toe to toe. These two in their cowardice and greed have brought shame and disgrace to this Clan of otherwise Fine LizardFolk."
He turns to the lesser Lizards guarding the door and cocks his head, "Wouldn't you both agree?"

Ascaria flinches slightly as the wounds from Mort are transferred to himself*.
He then takes a quick moment to translate Mort’s speech for the lizard folk at the door.
”Don’t you agree?”
He moves up slightly to get Hourpen in his area of effect (just in case) and channels once again. He is careful to carve out the two lizard folk, the two leaders, and both harpies.

Tynan follows Solrisa toward the foes, then sizes up the defenses of one of the lizardfolk.

Solrisa slays the second harpy, then moves to the doorway, readying to injure again should she be confronted. Mortimer stands fast, unwilling to engage the lizards on their terms. Hourpen reappears, slamming the larger lizard, and staggering it! Tynan sizes up the large lizards, readying for his stronger strike. Ascaria translates the giant's words, then wipes Mortimer's and his own wounds free and clear. Eri tries and fails to admonish Kotabas, moving just into range.
Kotabas looks past Shukak, and hisses.
"Heal us, Shesht. It is your duty. Shukak is your king."
Both Kotabas and Shukak appear to heal their wounds.
Kotabas steps up on the sudden attacker, and savages him.
Shukak extends his hand, shakily, and catches the trident as it streaks across the room to his awaiting hand. It looks for a moment as if he seeks to retreat. Instead, he spits a line of acid, hitting Solrisa, Tynan, and Eri!
He speaks, past Mortimer, towards the smallish soft-skin hiding behind him.
"Once I kill your fellow soft-skins, I'll flense you for days."

Huh?
Mort watches the carnage ensue, and is bolstered with new found confidence.
Nice!
Before he moves to close with Shukak, he bellows: "Leave the door Guards alone -- they've not moved at all to strike anyone. Our targets are the cowardly so called "Champion" Lizards!"

Round 8, Init 13-
The warrior maiden briefly blocks Tynan's line of sight to the trident wielding lizard, leaving him unprepared for the stream of acid that washes over him.
Injured, but undaunted, Tynan moves forward and hurls a dagger at the trident wielder while plotting how he can get into a better combat position.

Ascaria flinches, and again, and twitches, and flutters as the wounds from Solrisa, Hourpen, Tynan and Eri are transferred to himself*.
He staggers under the repeated blows, but stands, bloodied, and shouts past the fight,
Ascaria holds his position. He should get everyone in his channel (party) unless they move. He will carve out the two harpies and the two leader lizard folk, but he’ll go ahead and heal the two door guards of any injury they may have from prior encounters.
"They have a healer. I'm trying to convince them to stop healing, but if I can't, someone will need to root them out. Oh, and the ugly one looks forward to the day he can flense me alive." He laughs.
Round: 8, Initiative: 13
"Just say the word and I'll make my self scarce to root out the healer."
Hourpen steps back and assumes a mystical state of focus. Not only does his appearance blur, but his hand holding the rapier begins to crackle with electricity.

Solrisa lays eyes upon Shukak, stepping up to him, and driving her blade powerfully into lizardman's scaly hide.
Your eyes adjust through the dim light of the mangaroo branches. Shukak stands before you, a pair of black wings extending from his back. Suddenly, a golden light pulses across his right shoulder, under his feathered necklace. It is here your blade finds purchase.
Mortimer also approaches Shukak, and threatens the lizardman with a hard throw of his fist. Shukak's body language adjusts quickly, due to the massive blood leaking from his shoulder, and the giant can't connect to a lowered head. Hourpen steps away, blurring and crackling at the same time. Tynan harries Shukak with the throw of a dagger, which almost surely would have hit had Shukak been free from the crowd. Ascaria feels phantom flense from his friends, as their wounds become his own. Shortly thereafter, he heals a huge amount of damage from his collective. Eri flusters, hoping to contribute to the fight, missing only for the safety of his new companions.
Kotabas looms over the halfling, hoping to rid himself of the mewling backstabber. He continues to hiss over the halfling's head.
"Step up, Shesht. That's right, like that."
The halfling slumps to the ground, a light crackling still sounding.
At the same time, Shukak unleashes his fury upon the maiden. His recent injury makes it too difficult to land even a single blow.

Ascaria writhes a little further healing Solrisa, Hourpen, and Tynan.*
He nods to Shesht, visible next to Hourpens limp form, understanding the stress she must be under. He passes no judgement, but considers her a supporter… of sorts.
Ascaria holds his position. He should get everyone in his channel (party) unless they move. He will carve out the two harpies and the two leader lizard folk, but he’ll go ahead and heal the two door guards again.
Round 9, Init 13
Hourpen marvels silently, again at the fact that he isn't dead. He makes as if his rapier is falling form his hand as he 'dies' and then from the prone position his hand 'flops' toward the smaller near by lizard.

Round 9, Init 13-
Invigorated by Ascaria's healing magics, Tynan attempts to dodge past Mort and the trident wielding lizard toward the foe looming over the fallen halfling.
Tynan glances at the halfling, and sees through his ruse quickly.
He's a smart little one...
With a quick stab, Tynan lashes out at Hourpen's attacker, catching him with a vicious stab to the back.

Ascaria can’t believe it as Hourpen attacks a non-hostile Lizard Folk. He stands stunned a moment trying to figure out why Hourpen just stabbed him in the back.
”Hourpen! Haven’t you been listening to Mort and I ask you to NOT attack any other lizard folk? Do you not care one whit about your fellow companions that you’d undo all our efforts of diplomacy with one poorly thought out attack?”
”What’s wrong with you?”
Solrisa lashes out again at Shukak, hitting the large lizard soundly, though the lizard still stands. Mortimer finishes the feathered lizardman, needing both blows to lay the creature low.
Hourpen bleeds. He wills himself to stabilize from beyond consciousness, but fails to do so. He lies quietly, rapier falling from his hand, until Ascaria brings his healing burst to bear.
Tynan slips behind Kotabas, finding a space between arm and armor, and piercing the crocodile-like hide with his razor blade, although he fails to critically strike, while the halfling lies dormant. Ascaria draws injury unto himself, then heals the collective, yet again. Eri manages to plant an arrow in Kotabas, unable to place it in a more effective spot for greater injury.
Seeing Shukak fall, and feeling steel at his side, Kotabas withdraws into the northern room. He hisses over his shoulder.
"Very well. If this is about the soft-skin hostages, so be it. They must be worth something to you."
Ahead, you can start to make out said hostages, tied up along the walls behind a crudely-assembled throne. A small pile of belongings rests alongside the throne. Kotabas easily makes it to the hostages, where he stands, waiting.
Round 10 Init 13
Hourpen yells, not concerned with giving away his rouse. "Did you not see the creature close in on me? If it truly means no harm, then tell me why did it help the lizard? Why did it have a weapon? How is it that you trust a stranger and yet continue to question my actions? I could ask you that same question. What's wrong with you?"
Leaving his rapier on the ground Hourpen gets up.

Don't I try always to let DragonLady go first?
"Of course, Solrisa. Oopsie Topsy is fun, especially when that Eri guy back there is trying to turn our target into a pincushion."
Ready to step up and target Kotabas, Mortimer is not the slightest bit impressed or surprised when the overgrown Lizard tucks tail and tears away to the northern chamber.
"See, cowardly." He turns to Solrisa and gestures, "After you, M'Lady." Of Dragonness.. nis...
Perceiving that Hourpen may have been unconscious at the time he made the reiteration, Mortimer reiterates the reiteration for Hourpen's benefit.
"Do not harm any LizardFolk except the --" his voice shifts to a tone that might contain traces of boredom, "one that just fled into this northern space!!" As he tries to emphasize the word "fled", his voice cracks.

Ascaria looks to Hourpen as a few more injuries open up in his frame.* He then looks to the lead lizard, ”He’s going to kill our people! Stop him! Grab him somehow!” he sees the lizard rush from his sight.

Solrisa gives chase, as does Mortimer. Hourpen stands and disappears, or disappears and stands. Tynan keeps pace with the pack.
Ascaria brings an explosion of light to the northern chamber! Kotabas hisses in anger and pain. He also seems to reel strongly from the light.
Eri strikes the lizard in more magical pain!
Whether it's Mortimer's sudden appearance at his side, or Ascaria's strike of light, Kotabas stumbles away from the giant, and closer to Marzena. In his new position, he begins lashing out at either body next to him.
"Back off, and I'll end my attacks on your soft-sacks!! I have more than enough strength to see her dead before I die!!"
His claws lash out without finding purchase in Marzena's flesh, and his bite strikes out.
He finds her with her bite, at least. An already savaged woman cries out in pain, then falls quiet.

Mortimer maintains his hold on Kotabas, and starts dragging him past the thrown, as far as possible from Marzena and the soldiers.
"Ascaria! Ask him who put them up to kidnapping before Solrisa cuts his head off!"
Round 12, Init 13-
Frustrated by his inability to get into a flanking position in the cramped corner, Tynan stabs at the lizard champion with both short swords.
HP:34/34
Saves:Fort 4, Ref 8, Will 2
The combined activity of the group, Sol's swing, Mort's immolation, and Tynan's thrusts, bring the creature to death's door. Or at least unconsciousness...
Marzena, and two other soldiers remain tethered to the walls. A pile of items lays next to the throne. A rustling of activity can be seen and heard from the mouth of the chamber, as lizardfolk move to see the events unfold. Among their ranks, a lizard with coloring on his chest stands quietly, observing.
For the moment, Mortimer remains oblivious to the audience behind him as he moves to untether the hostages from the wall, starting with Marzena.
"I don't know, didn't someone say heads might be useful somehow?"
Hourpen carefully works to untether those captured along with Mortimer while he waits patiently to become visible.
Ascaria too thinks of the heads, but thinks the better of it with so many watchers. "Yeah, let's leave the heads where they are. I don't want to offend the tribe." Ascaria mutters.
He checks the health of those tied to the walls, as Mort and Hourpen free them.
If they're still injured, I'll channel one more time.
If not, he'll take the wand and heals himself.
While others tend to the captured, Solrisa gives the Dragon's Mercy to the fallen lizardfolk, ensuring an end to their hurting and mean being.
"Oh, these poor soldiers," Solrisa saddens momentarily. "But this is why the Dragon puts his foot into the world. To help those that need it." Sol offers a prayer for each of the dead with head bowed.
"Mort, that was some nice singing until they turned out to be bad birds, wasn't it?" Solrisa asks cheerily.
Mortimer gently places Marzena on her feet.
"Yeah, let's leave the heads where they are. I don't want to offend the tribe."
"Oh? I don't think that the -- " he trails off as he turns to Ascaria, finally noticing the audience of LizardFolk. His singles out the one Lizard with the coloring on his chest, and he holds his gaze steadfast.
"Oh! I mean -- I'm sure word will get 'round fast enough anyway..."
"Mort, that was some nice singing until they turned out to be bad birds, wasn't it?"
Without taking his eyes off of the decorated Lizard, Mort replies, "Oh! Yes Sol... I guess, I mean -- it was somewhat alluring, wasn't it? I guess they choose their battle here. They won't be trying that again on anyone soon."
Still regarding the painted Lizard cautiously, Mortimer approaches him and opens is mouth to speak, then suddenly remembers he doesn't know Draconic. "Uh, Ascaria -- can you translate? I think we'd like to leave now, freely with our people and Cinder. I think we'd like to also know if they were put up to this kidnapping and siege thing on the Keep by someone not of LizardFolk kin. Can you manage all that? Feel free to uh, expand or condense or add or ... omit..."
... or change the whole thing completely. I'm no Diplomat.
"I think we want that pile of stuff too, and whatever these two had on them if we can manage it. But the pile at least - that's probably Marzena's stuff, and the guards."
Once the healing has been done, as much as it can be, Ascaria trots over to Mort and translates.
"I'd also like to know why you attacked the humans. What made you head that far out for your needs?"
Eri takes a couple steps back from the lizards at the door and shakes off the last sparks from his hands. All the while keeping an eye on those that might attack him. He listens to the party convo and stays on the balls of his feet ready to move.
He says tensely,
”I’d be happy if we were leaving here soon.”
Shesht steps forward, looking directly at Mortimer, then turning to Ascaria as the gnome speaks in Draconic.
"As Hishka, I understand your soft-skin tongue. My tribe fails to learn it, for what little it serves them." From behind him, Hishka joins the gathering, moving through the growing crowd to calm those newly arrived.
Shesht continues. "You have done what Hishka and I could not. We have supported Shukak and Kotabas long enough. Too long." He stoops to pick up Shukak's trident. "This is yours. He has fallen, in more ways than death at your hands. He was once a great ruler. Until Ilthane." Hishka shakes his head, agreeing with Shesht's words, in all but words.
Hishka fills the silence assumed by Shesht. "Ilthane is a black dragon. She has provided Shukak and Kotabas strength. She has also promised to protect our tribe. She has even left one of her precious eggs among our own." Hishka points to the southwest, through an arch leading deeper into the complex.
"She put thoughts into Shukak's head. She turned him against all soft-skins. This is why you were attacked. Please. If you will make peace, return to Egorian, and help us. You can explain our hostility, make them see that we mean no further harm. This can become a good thing, your visit here."
Solrisa's eyes perk up at the mention of the black dragon's egg.
"An egg? An egg of the black? May I see this egg?" Solrisa asks smiling eagerly, readying her sword for a mighty smite. "Such things are not meant for the wholeness of life and should be ended immediately."
Shesht visibly flinches. "No! It is a sign of her trust in us that we would protect it, as we would our own. What would become of us, should she return, and find her young slaughtered, here, in our home?"
Solrisa smiles, understanding completely.
"Oh, of course! I'll take it out of your home and slaughter it there! So sorry! I wasn't even thinking!" Solrisa smiles sweetly, hoping Shesht forgives her rudeness.
