"Excellent diplomatic work with those, Leshies. Now let's see about that gate without disturbing any of their harvest." Vexin states with gratitude while nimbly working his way towards the gate.

Hearing the commotion- Ischell looks down to see the damaged gords at his missive, armor covered feet. Come'on man, how am I supposed to tiptoe through this patch...
He looks up at the rest of the party.
"Dudes, I am so sorry. Tell the little guys I didn't mean to do it!"
He continues to try to find a way forward- looking to reduce the amount of time that he must walk through the Gord patch. He hugs the north wall, where there is less greenery, hoping to avoid any further damage to the garden.
"Aw man, I feel awful. Ask them if there is anything I can do to fix it"

Elemenar tries to step through the gourd patch without damaging any of the plants. He is almost through when he takes an unsteady step and puts his foot right through one of the gourds. A horrified look crosses his face.
Sylvan:
"Oh! I'm so sorry! I was trying to avoid them. Of course we will make it right. What can I do?"
He turns to Ischell. "Look. I stepped on one too. I told them that it was an accident. They said that we have to make it right. Not sure what that means."
The halfling turns back to the commotion after crossing the patch. Seeing the trampled gourds he watches pensively in case he needs to take actions to protect his companions.
"So close. Hopefully they understand it was an accident."

"Tell them I accept the terms of their offer." Malora says with a relieved smile. "This is a verbal contract, as witnessed by Lawmaster Malora, of the clergy of Abadar, on this, the insert date here, between I, Lawmaster Malora Nagovya and the Leshies of Emberhold. This contract is legal and fully binding."

"I don't know if they have much use for contracts, man. But we both know we will keep our word- and that's enough for me. Besides, I'm ,uhhh, not sure about verbal contracts in gord language."
There is a brief pause and Ischell's face lights up.
"But dudes- it looks like we got some 'bad' to take care of! Let's get this thing started man!"
Anything else we need to do before heading down to fight the bad?

I moved myself onto the map and I also put Doran on the map by the stairs.
Elemenar takes a hint from Malora's action and uses his wand to cast mage armor on himself. He smiles at the inquisitor. "A little extra protection can't hurt."

After slipping through the remaining gord grove, Ischell descends the steps- pole arm in hand- side by side with Doran. At the base of the stairs he turns left and rounds the corner, staying in front of his ranged friends.
"Il step out of your way before the arrows fly" he whispers. "But if something is going to jump out at us, I would rather it be at me than you"
Six round pillars and a large iron gate built into a low archway on the west wall are not the most compelling features of this musty cellar. Drawings rendered from soot and dark brown paint cover the walls. They’re broken up by narrow fissures of dark earth and crumbled plaster. The room is filled with bones, most of which are heaped around a large throne against the south wall.
The oldest and most obscured of these drawings depict scenes of the Thrune family being savaged and brutalized by humans and devil-kin alike. The newest scrawlings depict civilians burning under a Chelish flag. The bones are leftovers from animal and humanoid creatures that met their end.
Heal DC 10:
The dark brown 'paint' is actually dried blood.
Heal DC 15:
The newest bones are troll bones, many of which exhibit deep bite marks.

Doran examines the bones with a somewhat trained eye.
heal:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Hmm...that so called paint is blood. And these bones look like they're from a troll...which would explain the burn marks. We must tread carefully...if this "bad" took down a troll...well, I think you can draw conclusions from that... he says rather grimly. He checks to make sure he has his liquid fire ready on his bandolier.

Lawmaster Malora nods. "Yes, that would be troublesome, indeed..."
Malora follows them into the room. Noticing the iron gate built into the wall, she cautiously approaches it. Is it shut? Does it look solid? What can she see through the bars?

Its open, damaged with age. You see the same thing on the other side of the shortish hallway. What lies beyond is to dark for you see.
When the group is done exploring this room, stack up on the iron gate and we will proceed into the next room...

Ischell steps purposefully throughout the room. The drawings and art on the wall do little to pull his attention away from the task at hand. As Doran notes the troll bones, Ischell turns to face the metal gate. Whatever it is, its down there...
He moves quickly to the gate, as he absentmindedly spins his pole arm in his hand, settling into a readied position.
Skeletal corpses thinly wrapped in decaying burial linen rest in niches cut into the stone of a wide hallway, which is intersected by numerous narrow fissures. Many of the niches have collapsed, with bony remains jutting out of the rocks and dark earth. The hallway opens into a larger room, where a stone altar is surrounded by cracked walls decorated with intricate reliefs of religious figures and prominent Davians whose tombs lie beyond.
The hall opens into a room filled with relief-covered walls surrounding a large stone altar where clerics performed rituals over the dead. The reliefs depict scenes of Aroden on Golarion, particularly a lesser miracle performed at Westcrown, in which he transformed and revitalized a garden of roses. On a family member’s death, this room was covered with white roses as clerics prepared the body of the recently deceased for burial. Of late, the rites performed on the stone altar have become far more macabre.
Hanging upside down by a thick metal chain is a troll. That troll is being tortured and tormented by a Ghoul. With all the cuts blood and other entrails and vicera litter the floor. Anyone moving in/around the RED square must make an ACROBATICS check or fall prone.

"Agreed, Malora." Elemenar steps past his comrades and into the large room. He turns to face the ghoul and raises his hand towards it. A fire jet blasts from his hand.
Rolls and info:
Fire jet DC is 14. 1d6 damage. Reflex for half damage. Reflex DC 15 to avoid catching on fire.
Fire jet damage:1d6 ⇒ 1Well that won't hurt anything.
Mindartis rushes forward and trails his halfling comrade as they carefully position themselves in the room while avoiding the troll and its scattered blood. He draws his composite longbow and aims at the ghoul on fire.
Acrobatics:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
If Acrobatics is a success:
He lets an arrow fly towards the ghoul. Comp. Longbow STR +1, PBS:1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 1 = 16Damage, PBS:1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5
Elemenar - Fire Jet @ Ghoul Black
Troll - No Valid Target
Mindartis - (-5hp)Dances around the blood and gore, hitting the seen ghoul no problem.
Vexin - Slips and falls, much like a GREASE spell.
Ghoul Black -10hp, on fire
Ghoul green
Doran
Malora
Ischell
Black ghoul, seeing only one valid target, moves forward to deal with Elemenar and his fire abilities......
Bite:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13Miss
Sensing the opportune time to strike, the other ghoul moves in to attack. You are all taken aback. Its none other than Arenzo Davian, turned into a ghoul!

"Attention Arenzo Davian and other unidentified undead! I am Lawmaster Malora Nagovya, and on behalf of the church of Abadar you are hereby charged guilty of torture, unlawful consumption of intelligent creatures, and abiding as an undead without the proper licenses! Surrender immediately or face judgement!"
Seeing the ghouls leap into battle against Mindartis and Elemenar, Malora continues. "You have been judged unrepentant! The punishment is death to be carried out immediately!"
Malora activates her justice judgement as a swift action. Holding her crossbow in her off hand, Malora draws her heavy mace and attacks the black ghoul, swinging the mace down at his head.

Black draws an AoO from Ischell. He threatened the square black started in, and Black moved 10ft. Ischell has combat reflexes, so he can make AoO while flat footed. Full turn coming in a little bit. Malora May want to wait until DM results the AoO, as it may change her course of action

Thanks for the quick resolution
"In the name of enlightenment and good, this creature must be destroyed! Ischell bellows above the din of battle. "Give me strength, Master of Masters!"
Smite Davian. CHA +2, Paladin Level 1, Undead (+2 damage/level) New Stats for the remainder of combat against Davian: +2 AC, +2 Hit, +2 Damage
Ischell's attempt to strike the moving ghoul initially appears on target, but is deflected by the gate. His right hand drops from the pole arm and draws his morningstar. He takes a quick step in behind the black ghoul and swings the morning star at the enemies back.
