Dreng continues to pace the room, edging closer to Gannus. Tsk..tsk. This won't do. Not at all. Suddenly the party sees two mannequins animate and Dreng lunges toward Gannus.

Bruxo casts crushing despair on Dreng.
By the Eye of Nethys! Grandmaster Torch was right all along — the Society really DOESN'T care about us!
Bruxo identifies the mannequins as animated objects. He communicates that he knows that constructs like these have a hardness that deflects weapons and that they are immune to death effects, disease, mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, phantasms, patterns, and morale effects), necromancy effects, paralysis, poison, sleep, stun. Constructs are not subject to nonlethal damage, ability damage, ability drain, fatigue, exhaustion, or energy drain. Constructs are not at risk of death from massive damage. He also knows that they typically slam into a person when attacking.
Bruxo casts a spell on Dreng.
Dreng's shoulder sag a little as the spell takes effect.
Reeling from the spell, Dreng misses with one claw, while hitting Gannus with the second.
Gannus throws his shoulder into Dreng, as he draws his blades. Dreng flails back, hitting the ground hard.

"I guess you could say these mannequins are Dressed to Kill? Ha!"
Weiman will draw his short sword and take a stab.

Glaurung lets out what starts as a small burp, but quickly escalates to a plume of fire engulfing the mannequins. One of the mannequins is able to dodge most of the flame, but the is hit full on.
Weiman draws his short sword and stabs a mannequin, but the sword just skitters across it's hard metallic frame.
As the mannequins start to attack, Dreng screams out from the floor.
Both maanequins attempt to slam Weiman, but the squirrely halfing manages to evade them.

Bruxo casts a spell, causing glitter and sequins to engulf the mannequins.
Both dummys stumble as they lose their sight.
Dreng stands up and attacks Gannus. I can't help myself. They make me do it! He says while clawing at Gannus.

Weiman makes a number of swooshing and chunking noises. "I AM A CLOTHING GOLEM. I WILL CONTROL DECLAN DRENG'S MIND. BWEEEAAAOOOOW."
Weiman will help Glaurung hit with a melee attach against the more southern mannequin.
Instead, however, he gets 100% distracted by a rubber clown mask in the far corner of the store. "Ha! I need one of those!"
Gannus assault Dreng with myriad sword slashes, all hitting the wizened Venture-Captain. On the final strike, Dreng falls to ground in a pool of his own blood. As Dreng lays there, suddenly his body begins to change form, becoming a grayish humanoid creature seems almost unfinished, with a narrow head, gaunt limbs, and a sinister, noseless face.
Weiman swings at a mannequin, but gets distracted by the store merchandise.

Glaurung screams a few words in Draconic as she nearly burns down the costume store.

As Glaurung releases her fireball, both mannequins are caught directly in the inferno. Both mannequins collapse into heaps of smoldering, twisted metal.
Just as the party begins to catch their breath, six people suddenly burst from a back room and head toward the party!
Bruxo casts a spell and three of the people finds themselves covered in sticky webs.
The two females manage to dodge the descending webs, but the man is stuck fast.
Gannus takes a defensive stance and readies himself for more melee.
The thugs begins to close the distance toward the party. One man moves up and throws a dagger at Gannus, but the dagger flies past him, clattering on the ground.
The entangled man manages to free himself and circles around, while another women gingerly picks her way through the webs and gets through them.
Weiman takes a stab at one of the thugs, but misses.
Glaurung calls upon her magic and release a fiery inferno, nearly catching the place on fire again.
Two of the thugs manage to jump out of the way, but the other two take the full brunt of the fireball. The ones able to jump out of the way seem to have escaped any harm.
Gannus attacks one of the men, easily cutting him down.

Glaurung follows up by sending a fiery ray into the remaining man.

5ft South, continuing Luck. "Lady Gla, I think you missed so bad, you hit the guys attacking me! Ha!" Weiman will also draw his CLW wand, as well as his Standard attack.

Weiman takes a stab with his blade and manages to stick it in the woman next to him!
Bruxo recharge a spell and moves toward the center of the room.
The thugs all move into flanking positions and attack Gannus and Weiman.
The thugs are fairly ineffectual, but one manages to slip a blade into Gannus' side.

Weiman tries to stab the southernmost enemy, his luck lingering despite not concentrating on it.

Weiman stabs at one of the ladies, but she dodges the blade easily.
Glaurung tries to skewer one of the women, but misses as well.

Bruxo will use his wand of ill omen on the thug indicated on the map with the arrow.
He will then five-foot nearer to Glaurung and stow the pearl in his hand, planning to draw another wand next round.
Bruxo points his wand at the woman to the south while uttering a command word.
The two women attack Weiman again.
The first strike misses, but the second finds his side, plunging deep. The woman twists the dagger as pulls back, just missing a vital organ.

Barely avoiding getting stabbed in the kidney, Weiman doubles back and coughs up a little blood. He looks at Gannus, still with a (slightly pained) smile and wiggles his eyebrows. "Whoa! A bit possessive, eh?" He tries to position the stabber's arm to a more hittable position for Glau's next attack, as well as stepping to the south-east.
Once again, Gannus' blades virtually sing as they make quick work of the woman. Her eyes widen in surprise even as she fall to the ground.
