So, now that we opened the magic door, we are allowed to enter the house?
Garrath clearly not understanding how the laws of a big city work, he shifts nervously from one foot to the other, still with his sword at the ready.
"We should take a quick walk around the estate house before we enter the house."
After a search of the grounds, Kelvin will head to the door and check it out. "Brandark, Garrath, cover me."
The party will wade their way through the tall grass and weeds around the Kaijitsu Estate. Kelvin will note that all the doors and windows are boarded up, except the front door.
Kelvin hears talking beyond the front door. He cannot make out what they are saying. There is not a trap on the door. The door is locked.
Brandark unlimbers he shield and moves up as quietly as he can towards the door.
He then whispers to Kelvin. We could always knock, as we have a letter of introduction.
Brandark knocks on the door.
Kelvin notices that the talking stops.
After several moments, you hear the door being unbolted. A man, with a somewhat curious expression ask, "May I help you."
You inform the man that you have a Letter of Introduction from Ameiko Kaijitsu to stay here at the Villa.
"One moment," the man says and turns away from the door.
You here some talking, then a woman's voice says clearly, "Let them in."
The large living room and parlor you walk into is lavish. But it's splendor is masked by the smell of sweat and a faint lingering odor of death. This parlor is now more like a bunk house. You can tell that many are living in this one room. The leader appears to be a Tien woman, dressed in a traditional Tien robe.
There is a symbol crudely drawn on the entry way floor.
"So you are friends of Ameiko Kaijitsu. Never met Longjiku's daughter. Forgive, but we were not expecting guest." The woman talks with a thick Tien accent.

"Of course and we are so very sorry to interrupt. She offered her home for us to use and I hope she doesn´t mind me cleaning up the house afterwards! Clean the bloodstains of course! Boys... Lamashtu Scum"
Stepping behind Garreth Elektra quickly casts haste.
Garrath, confused as to why so many people are in the estate, wondering if this was a big city thing, snaps to attention when Elektra announces they're Lamashtu followers. He dodges past the corner to hold the right flank.
Surprise Round
Electra recognizes that these folks are scum and caste Haste.

"Invisibility is nice, but useless!" Elektra casts see invisibility!
Garrath stands his ground, listening and smelling intently, waiting for one to get close.

Garrath roars in rage, and runs into the middle of a group of the cultists, and brings his greatsword down in a mighty chop.
What in the gods just happened.
As he regains his feet and picks up his axe he then looks at the visible cultists with anger.

Kelvin Vanishes and moves back.
The Woman barks out orders in a language that causes the light in the room to dim slightly.

Elektra cast Create Pit in front of the back door. The party sees one of the cultist fall into the pit.
Stone moves to Brandark's side and brings forth Divine Healing.
Brandark starts to recover. He stands readying his Axe.

Though flat-footed, Kelvin's arrow misses its target.
Round Three continues
"Grata ek Shoanti. Nort Lamashtu zrat'a," you hear the woman's voice continue in that wicked tongue. The light in the room again flickers and dims.
The party sees the back double doors above the pit, revealing a wide and elaborate hallway.
The sixth Cultist futilely tries to climb out of the pit.
The third Cultist takes a step to flank the big Shoanti man drawing out his rapier in his right hand as he moves, a shield on his left arm. Only with the aid of the flank does he manage to pierce the big man.
His flanking partner attacks too, drawing out his rapier and attacking with a thrust.
The fifth Cultist obediently moves against the big Shoanti man, moving over the fallen first Cultist, drawing out his rapier. Garrath takes an attack of opportunity, but the Cultist deftly dodges the blow. The Cultist attacks.
The fourth Cultist, now in a flank with fifth attacks Garrath. He too draws out a rapier.
The eighth Cultist, obediently attacks the big Shoanti man. As he clammors over the furniture to get to the man, Garrath takes his second attack of opportunity, but it too fails to hit the Cultist. This Cultist also has a rapier and attacks.
The seventh Cultist joins the fun in the same manner. He avoids the pit but does not have the benefit of a flank.

Garrath turns his attention to the cultist to the north of him and grins maliciously through the gore. "Time for you to go meet the Mother Monster. I hope she finds your guts tasty." He hacks at the man with a swing of his greatsword, and then looks at the other cultists nearby, "You're next!"
Feeling the sting of the bolt Elektra still keeps her concentration, finishing the spell with a certain elegance
