assuming they are unimpressed
Seeing the half-elf's plea fall on deaf ears... Edward speaks. "Shen Go. Gently."
He then enters the room and readies a counterspell.
Shen Xiang

At hearing Edward's voice (from somewhere over there) he nods and smiles at the elf in front of him. Looking at him curiously, Shen tilts his head to one side before his body spins into a flurry of expert combinations.

The elves look unimpressed by Duskwalker starting to talk to them, especially after Shen has closed the gap between them. Shen then attacks the elf in front of him.

Slammu crawls along the wall double move to threaten the elf in the back.
"DROP YOUR WEAPONS!" he shouts. "JAWS! BRING THEM TO THE GROUND!" Jaws knows trip, though he's badly trained in it.
Tcreese

Tcreese watches Shen take out one of the Elves with a singular set of blows. He yells, "Nonlethal! Nonlethal!"
He moved forward, pulling a bundle of explosives from his bandolier, "Throw up your hands and surrender or the big guy there will take you down one by one!"

Edward yawns, and converts his heart of the metal spell into counter-magic, and counters the warp wood spell.
Then, green tries the same thing. Though the benches give a little cover, Tcreese's bomb hits the elf. Though the elf is not entangled by the sticky bomb, the pain from its damage causes the elf to stutter, and lose his spell.

Shen smiles inwardly – How pleasant that the elves did not surrender. He shrugs goes about his master’s orders with a sense of purpose. With what seems like no effort at all he casually vaults the pew to his right and strikes the elf in the face with the force of a thunderbolt.

Swift Action
Exploit Weakness: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21
At 4th level, as a swift action, a martial artist can observe a creature or object to find its weak point by making a Wisdom check and adding his monk level against a DC of 10 + the object’s hardness or the target’s CR. If the check succeeds, the martial artist gains a +2 bonus on attack rolls until the end of his turn, and any attacks he makes until the end of his turn ignore the creature or object’s DR or hardness. A martial artist may instead use this ability as a swift action to analyze the movements and expressions of one creature within 30 feet, granting a bonus on Sense Motive checks and Reflex saves and a dodge bonus to AC against that opponent equal to 1/2 hismonk level until the start of his next turn.

Yenven advances to within reach of the Blue elf (25' move it should be) and reposition: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (17) + 23 = 40 and pushes him around back and forth, triggering an AoO from Slammu and Jaws as it leaves it's current square Greater Reposition.

Jaws attempts to trip the target as it moves away from him. Note: Reposition says move to another square
The elf swings at Jaws as he tries to trip. He misses, but the elf goes down.

Edward steps up into the room further, and seeing this combat is over... "It is pointless to resist superior tactics and ability. Just surrender. Walk out of here standing rather than dragged out unconcious.." from the invisible caster....
diplomacy: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20
GM Silbeg
|
Seeing the were-shark and the odd crocodile-man-thing on the wall, the crazy-ass monk in the face of one, and the rest, the elves both drop their weapons and surrender.
Edward Eldrassil
|
Edward will step over to the fallen and burn a wand charge. "someone use a cure light on this fallen fellow. Then you three get out of here."
Says the invisible Wizard.
Shen Xiang
|
As his target regains footing after being kicked across the nose, Shen frowns in Edwards general direction. Regaining his composure the monk bows to the reeling elf and stands at ease.
Tien - "Wǒ dǎpòle zhè zhǒng bízi de rén wǒ xiǎng, dāng tā xǐng lái shí duìfāng kěnéng xūyào bīng tā de liǎn. Jīnglíng ruò, yīnwèi zhè shì rúhé yìlì bù dǎo zài zhèlǐ yǔ dòngwù, yīnwèi nàxiē zhāngláng qiánfú qiáng?"
Big Slammu
|
Slammu whistles for Jaws, then proceeds to the ceiling of the room to scout, Jaws climbing up cheerfully behind him.
"THESE ARE THE ELF FRIENDS I ASSUME?"
GM Silbeg
|
Looking at shock at the skinwalker, the elf nearest Slammu says, "What do you mean, elf-friends? We're just slaves of Tyruwat."
Big Slammu
|
"ELF LADY DOWN RIVER HAD MEAN DOGS. SHE SAID TO SAVE YOU. THAT MAKES YOU ELF FRIENDS."
GM Silbeg
|
The elf looks confused for a while, and gets a look that makes it seem like he's thinking, 'Ah, he probably thinks all elves are women'
"Taliendorealean was our friend out on patrol. I take it you found him? Does he still live?"
Edward Eldrassil
|
"he was foolish enough to attack us. But yes he lives. So may you. Someone cure the fallen elf...." not sure fast healing 10 is enough or not, or if it cures 10 nonlethal in addition to lethal?
Y. Duskwalker

Yenven draws his clw wand from a wrist sheath, walks over umd: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20 and taps the unconscious elf for clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
He then returns it to said sheath, and begins looking around the room for "stuff" perception: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (17) + 21 = 38(+1/3 traps/magic traps)
Y. Duskwalker
|
"Who is Tyruwat?" Yenven asks of the elves.
GM Silbeg
|
One of the elves answers Yenven, "He is... was... our master. He is the shaman of Zon-Kuthon, and is master of the song of extinction. He is in the cathedral, through the door to the south, here. He is ready for you."
The elf who was healed looks grateful to be alive, and thanks Duskwalker.
Y. Duskwalker
|
"He's expecting us? What more can you tell us about him?"
Tcreese
|
Tcreese quietly puts away his splash weapon and assesses his situation.
He starts prepping for the inevitable encounter that he suspects won't go as calmly as this one.
If possible to time it right before the door opens, I'd like to do my extract of Channel Vigor (9 Rounds).
Shen Xiang

Shen nods and walks over to stand beside the last place he saw Edward, then cracks his neck loudly.
He then offers his wand to where he thinks his master is.
2 charges off my infernal wand
"Re-ady" he manages to say in very broken common.
Edward Eldrassil
|
"over here... by the door..." Edward will use his wand on him.
GM Silbeg
|
Five rounds have passed since the door opened into this room.
Shen, the first charge of infernal healing has started, and the wand is in Edward's hand. But...
"Yeah, well, sure. We were just fighting in here, so he could hear it." At this time, you all realize you can hear something or someone chanting on the other side of the door.
The elves all start to panic. "He's started the Song of Extinction! You have to stop him!"

The inner cathedral is a large chamber lit by brightly glowing torches lining the walls. A long rug leads up to a treasure chest sitting against the back wall. Above the chest stands a defaced statue of a tall Mwangi man carrying a staff. Eight altars form a circle at the back of the room. In front of the alter are a pair of howlers, poised to attack.

Slammu slashes into Tyruwat with his gandasa. The man goes down, and then Slammu rips him into shreds. The man is dead, and everyone on the altar is covered with gore. The song he was singing is interrupted hopefully forever.
Shen and Tcreese are frustrated to find out that they cannot come into the room. Edward realizes when they appeared on the altar, they triggered a trap, which was a repulsion spell. He quickly dispatches it, and the team investigates the cathedral (after Edward easily dispatches the two howlers with an area greater dispel magic).
The westernmost altar holds a humanoid skull wearing a holy symbol of Zon-Kuthon. Idols sit on the second and third altars, a statuette of a screaming man with a mutilated face and a figurine of a priest in chains, respectively. The fourth altar holds a dark blue music box engraved with Abyssal runes. The music box is slightly ajar and playing a quiet tune. This is the Song of Extinction itself, although it poses no danger unless a strong-willed worshiper of Zon-Kuthon sings the lyrics written on the sides of the box. Another idol stands on the fifth altar, a carved figure of a monstrous wolf representing the Midnight Lord’s herald. The sixth altar holds a raven statuette, which resembles the other idols at first glance, but is actually a figurine of wondrous power (see the treasure section below). Surgical tools and various implements of torture lay scattered across the seventh altar and the easternmost altar lies bare, although metal chains dangle from the sides. These final pair of altars are where sacrifices are tied up and tortured for the pleasure of the god of pain and darkness.

The music box seemingly disappears into an invisible haversack after a brief examination. Dispel invisibility, then Detect magic and perception on the rest.
Tcreese

Tcreese figures that if Edward wanted him to go with, he would have been taken with.
He sits in a pew, making sure their prisoners don't leave.

Hearing the screaming from the next room followed by the sudden cessation of singing seconds later, Tcreese figures he made the right choice.

Shen bows to Edward and leaves as his required services are complete.. Before he leaves he glances at Tcreese and manages to mutter out the words. "Good... Chi-ken"

Yenven takes out his journal and, across several pages, makes outlines and notes of the temple, and the various entities encountered this trip.
"It has been a pleasure travelling with you all, may your good fortunes continue!" He says to everyone at the conclusion of the debriefing with Tuunka.
