Prakriti brings true fear to the goblin shaman.

The little goblin shakes in it's tiny boots. Savannah rushes to Zildaastin's aid and thrusts her spear through the goblin's eye.

Zildaastin continues to hold a small ball of fire.

Morningstar, Bless: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 2 + 1 = 21 Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

I need to get to that caster. "Well done, well done, don't die! I'll get the last one."

Double move.

Yorad leaps up onto the table, fumbling his strike as the goblin ducks down low. This gives Prakriti the opportunity to brain the goblin with her Morningstar.

Mahalak's arrow sails across the room, stabbing into the goblins hand as Savannah thrusts her spear into the little guys chest cavity.

Zildaastin turns and gives chase to the shaman and finds it's sneering and malicious face just outside the doorway.

Meanwhile Sarina continues to snooze.

Savannah races out of the room and chases down the goblin. "You can't run from me!"

Double move.

"Always on the move!" Yorad smirks as he takes off after Savannah.

Double Move.

Reaching the goblin, Zildaastin swings his small mace. (This provokes an AoO.)

Light mace + bless: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 1 = 23
Damage: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

Seeing that Mavenee has been stabalized, Mahalak runs out of the room to join his allies. Double move

Prakriti follows the group out as they chase down the shaman. As she gets it in her sights, she tries to project a wave of despair from her eyes to make it feel sick to its stomach.

Spirit Memories. WILL (DC14) or sickened or staggered for 1 round.

Yorad, Mahalak, and Savannah rush from the room as Prakriti releases a wave of despair.

Will save DC 14: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

The goblin shaman shrugs off the overwhelming urge as Zildaastin breaks it's arm with her mace.

Taking a small step back the shaman concentrates as it's eyes cross.

Concentration DC 17: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

And instantly farts, losing the spell. Just saved yourselves from a burning hands.

Cold Iron Piercing Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 8

Comp. Longbow, 2: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 + 1 - 4 - 2 = 0

Did either of those hit? LOL =)

Prakriti hopes those in front of her can deal with the shaman, taking out her crossbow and letting loose a hopeful shot at the goblin, through the gap in between her companions.

Light Crossbow: 1d20 + 1 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 1 + 1 - 4 = 7 Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5

While Mahalak nearly shoots himself in the leg Savannah seems to save the group as her spear stabs into the goblin shaman. The goblin gasps and collapses to the floor.

Combat over.

Yorad claps Savannah on the back. "Nice thrust there! Guess we should make sure the others are conscious though."

You find Sarina lightly snoring with Fluffy lying down on her back.

Savannah grins. "A fair point." She gathers all of her allies together around the panther, and makes sure no enemy bodies are nearby. Then she prays to Kurgess to empower all of you.

Channel Energy, Healing: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Savannah pulls out a magic wand and uses it on the last of her wounded allies.

Healing Mahalak: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Healing Mavanee: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Everyone is at full health.

What next?

Yorad jerks his thumb to the door in the south wall, "Should we see who may have taken an interest in our handiwork?"

Mahalak searches the bodies for anything that might help them. He lets Mavenee recuperate for now.

Switching Tiger stance back to Mavenee.

Savannah helps loot the dead then moves to follow Yorad. "Lead on!"

This office is actually four separate rooms. The first is the entryway—a set of double doors from area 2 enter here, revealing another set of double doors on the opposite wall and two single doors in the east and west walls. Behind the single doors are small 10-foot-by-10-foot rooms piled high with garbage, wood scraps, and chunks of broken masonry from around the prison. Behind the double-doors is an actual office. The office proper has a rug laid out on the floor over rotted carpet, two salvaged bookshelves, and a small desk with a simple wooden chair behind it.

Behind the desk is a man wielding a drawn rapier pointed at the door. "You just couldn't let things be could you?"

The man seems to be quite a skilled sword fighter as he leaps out from behind the desk and stabs at Yorad with his rapier.

Rapier vs Yorad AC FF 13: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Confirm Crit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Crit Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

The thin rapier pierces Yorad's throat causes him to immediately begin gurgling on blood as it flows down his throat.

"Not talking your way out of that."

Sarina moves in Provoking probably and readies for when Fluffy is in position. Then she has Fluffy Flank then attack.

rapier: 1d20 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 4 = 14
piercing/cold iron: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5

trip: 1d20 + 8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 4 = 16

"Honestly," the gnome responds as he touches Savannah's spear which burst into flames, "letting things be isn't really our style."

Casting sun metal on Savannah's weapon, which lasts for 4 rounds.

"Hey, you coulda surrendered...and lived to see another day!" Yorad calls out despite the gurgling blood in his throat.

Withdraw.

Mahalak commands the panther to attack Sussworth. "Take care this time, Mavenee."

He then takes a step back and fires at Sussworth.

Comp. Longbow, PBS: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 3 + 1 = 24
Confirm?: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 1 = 21

Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Mavenee gives a loud roar and bites Sussworth's arm.

Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Prakriti peers in the door and tries to catch Sussworth's eyes, hoping to send thoughts of despair towards him and make him feel sick.

Spirit Memories (WILL DC14) or sickened and staggered for 1 round.

Sliding past her companions Sarina provokes the swordsman, before herself and Fluffy surround the man.

AoO vs Sarina AC 19: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Sarina feels a quick poke through her hand. Though her own rapier misses, Fluffy tears a good chunk out of the man's leg.

Mahalak wings an arrow straight into Sussworth's heart. the man falls over, dropping his blade to the ground as he begins to bleed out on the ground.

Savannah moves into the fight, ready to test out her fiery spear -- to find the man already dead. "Well, that was quick. Nice work, team!"

At the sight of Yorad choking on his own blood Savannah pales. She hurries over to him, drops her spear, and clamps a hand over his throat. "Oh! Hang on, Yorad. One second and you'll be fine..." She pulls out a wand and waves it over him, healing his wounds.

Healing Yorad: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Healing Yorad: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 Yorad's fully healed.

She smiles in relief. "There. Feeling better?"

Then she looks around at her companions and gives Sarina one of the healing potions she found.
Healing Sarina: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 Sarina's fully healed.

"Ahhh...good as new! I owe ya one," Yorad stretches and winks at Savannah, before gathering his dagger.

"Anyone else here?" If not then Yorad will look around.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

"I don't know about anyone but there might be some loot or incriminating evidence."

Sarina searches the body then the room.

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

With everyone fighting fit, Savannah helps look around the offices.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

Between Savannah and Sarina the group finds three letters in the office that Sussworth must have been in the process of coding and hadn't completed yet.

You also uncover an unlocked chest containing 900 gp. Though there is no sign of the key to how to unlock the coded messages. Sussworth must have had it memorized.

"Jackpot! The evidence we need to bury the Shadow Lodge. He was even kind enough to provide the names of some of his accomplices." The gnome grins at the fencer's corpse. "Aren't you the considerate one!"

"That guys was a complete dumbass," Yorad nods, Still good for us. Let's keep looking to see if anyone else is hiding from us."

Savannah pockets the letters. "Good work, team! Ready? Let's GO!" She claps her hands for emphasis. Then she grips her spear and leads the way to the next portcullis. She peers through the bars.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

All portcullis are currently open.

This room is full of dirty cells stuffed with straw, tattered clothing, and garbage, and the entire area stinks like a wet dog and garbage. These are most definitely goblin pens. The pens are dirty and smelly and hold nothing of value. The goblins seem to be collecting shiny objects, though, as they’ve dangled hundreds of them from the many bars.

Sarina will sweep the room with Detect Magic then check around with special note of the shiny objects.

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Savannah looks for further clues, or enemies as she sifts through the goblin pens.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

Mahalak joins Savannah in searching for anything out of the ordinary.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
