Enraged by the turn of events, Nualia attacks the Dwarf with all she has, slashing into the diminutive one with Bastard Sword, but missing with her clawed hand
Nualia takes a five foot step into the southside doorway in front of Lyrie.
Lyrie begins to show some fear as she Nualia with several arrows in her and bleeding from her axe and lucerne hammer wounds begins to fatigue.
But it doesn't fully deter the young unwise Wizard for hitting the Dwarf again with a Magic Missile.
Sliding both the bastard sword and the claw out of line of his body with his shield, Brandark attempts to take the claw out of play.

Encounter over
"Well Orik was given pardon. It is your turn now. Please tell us what you were working on and show us your notes! Then we will bring you to sandpoint. On the bonus side. You were never involved in any actions against sandpoint, and I could imagine you would be given a chance to work in the town. A decent wizard... could earn decent money for services."
Grimacing in a bit of pain Brandark looks over at her
Consider this your one free pass
Orik looks at Lyrie, "Lyrie you need to cooperate with them."
Lyrie gives Orik a sharp glance then sighs, "Nualia hired me because I know Thassilonian. Thisletop is the head of an ancient Sentinel statue. It had some sort of great magic weapon, but I have not found yet what that is. This whole section radiates some kind of ancient preservation magic. Nualia thought there is a being down here. She may have been right, but we have not found it."
The room to the north has wide stone ledges of red marble that line the curving walls of this room, which is well lit by four burning skulls that sit in each corner. Three chairs rest in the room, and both stone ledges are covered with old books, scrolls, teeth, bones, scrimshaw artwork, jars of deformed creatures soaking in brine, taxidermied animals and limbs, and other strange objects. To the north, a large round fountain flled with frothy blue water flls the room with the gentle sound of bubbling.
Kelvin lets the others who are willing to negotiate with Lyrie talk with her. "I am going to look around in this room to the north" and he heads there and looks for traps and for anything interesting.
Brandark keeps an eye out on Kelvin. I think we should now fall back now that we have that young lady for him.
Kelvin will see that the room is quite comfortable. It has a nice view of the Varisian Gulf. Though the tilt can take a little to get used to. He will not find any additional traps. He will find a secret compartment in the red marble. In it is a chest, unlocked, with 120PP in it.
Kelvin will find the reset mechanism for the hallway trap in this room. It would not take much for Kelvin to get the trap working again.
The water in the basin looks amazingly fresh. Lyrie will inform the party that it is indeed fresh; as fresh as she has ever tasted. She will take a drink to prove it to the party.
Over the course of several hours, you will find papers outlining all of Nualia's nefarious schemes including future planned raids on Sandpoint. She wanted to set up the Cathedral of Wrath as a base to bring a Sinspawn army into the world. Though she hadn't figured out yet how to keep it from depleting. She knew it had limited powers, but she also believed it could be maintained; just exactly how had eluded her. And finally she mentions a Malfeshnekor in her writings. It is a name of an entity that she still believes lives within Thistletop, though she has not figured out yet how to release him. She seemed to be obsessed by this.
On Nualia's body, you will find a Breastplate, a Bastard Sword, the composite longbow, some arrows, a medallion, a gold holy symbol, 7PP and 5 GP.
Detect Magic
The Breastplate, Bastard Sword and Seven-Pointed Star Medallion all radiates magic.
As his injuries start to close, Brandark looks at Stone.
I thank the lady, and her through you.
Looking at Lyrie Elektra smiles. "How about you take all the notes with you, but agree to make a copy for me. Second, we seek a fine corner and trade spells. I think that could be to our mutual benefit! For the moment I think Orik can guard you, if you want, to see that we accept your.... surrender."
Taking a moment Elektra tries to discern the magical properties.
Medallion
Armor
Weapon
Sihedron Medallion +1 on saving throws, once per day as a free action activate False life as spell. Placed on a dead body, preserves body indefinitely as Gentle Repose .
+1 Breastplate
+1 Bastard Sword
The observation room to the North appears to be a relatively safe place to rest.
I would trade her Create pit, Summon Monster 2, Detect thoughts and would like invisibility mirror image, shatter, floating disc, locate object, see invisibility and spider climb, even willing to donate 10 gm per spell level.
Lyrie will accept Elektra's offer.
"Lyrie, are there stairs down? What else is around here?" quizzes the elf.
Lyrie will look at Kelvin, "Nualia said there are stairs leading down into the waters of the Gulf. I have not been beyond the South room."
"I think we should and could. What other dangers lurk here? What is still unexplored by us?"
My faith has always carried me through, I thank you for the healing
Brandark looks as the cut on his shoulder and chest knits shut.
Garrath grins, "Your faith, and that you're tougher than a gristly piece of bear meat!"
Brandark chuckles Aye, that might also have something to do with it.
A
I think we can have a longer chat first. I mean, yes they told us much, but for one the wizards will have some work to do, smile, and b we would talk about her findings and a few more infos about their backstory. Last but not least.. better have them close now.
I just happen to think that we have a semi safe place to rest, and then we can get a fresh start. Without worrying about something showing up in the morning while we are camped here.
