With a scowl, Searlas walks to the first portcullis and wedges a couple well placed stones in the mechanism. Take 10 on Disable device for a 12 "That won't keep anyone from opening it up, but it will make quite a racket and take a few seconds to get it cleared. Should give us plenty of forewarning of someone trying to escape."

He walks back to the middle of the courtyard, then a stupid looking smirk starts to crack on his face. He makes a quick spin and points at the 1 for northwest, 2 for east: 1d2 ⇒ 1 door.

"My intuition says that door is a good one to start with!"

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15 as he gives a cursory listen and spot check of the door.

Azuk shrugs and looks to Warden, who stands like a metal statue. "Fine with me."

Searlas motions to the door and takes a few steps to the side.

"Well then Reavis, would you mind doing the honors?"

He then unfurls the scroll of Magic Missile and readies himself for a possible ambush.

"Yeah, no problem." The tiefling replies before opening the indicated door and looking inside.


Deity, Benevolent or Malevolent that remains to be seen.

You open the door.
This large room was recently cleaned—piles of trash are swept into the corners, the six tables and dozen benches here are spotless, and the majority of the spider webs and vermin nests were cleaned from the corners. A set of sturdy double doors sit in the south wall, another is set in the west wall, and a single door in the northwest corner leads north into a small kitchen.

You also see a man and women flanking the doorway!

Dembar flies away from the door just a bit and fires off an acid splash at the one on the opposite side of the doorway from him.

My internet is flaky, and I can't move my map token, though I can post here. Can someone please move me closer? I can't move close enough to attack, because speed is 20 ft. I want to be placed so that the cone for detect evil hits both, if possible.

After moving, Hania uses detect evil towards the baddies (standard action)

"Well, we only need one for questioning..." Reavis observes as he tries to tumble past the man in the north to move further into the room, then fires an arrow into him.

Acrobatics untrained to avoid AoO + Mutagen: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Longbow + PBS: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 7 + 1 = 17

That acrobatics roll probably provokes, unless they are flat-footed and don't have combat reflexes.

The arrow thuds home!

The woman goes around behind Reavis and swips at him with a claw!

Noting that the man has taken a few hits and is still standing, Searlas tries for a measured response.

Magic Missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 at the man.

If that drops him, I'll move up to stabilize, otherwise I'll stand back and let Warden finish it.

Azuk gets just close enough to bring the woman into range of his spells.

Daze, Will DC 13.

Warden storms into the room and attempts to smash the man.

I'll be busy tonight, so if it gets back to my turn have me move off and stabilize any downed foes. On my turn I'll stabilize the male, or administer the cure potion if he seems in dire shape. My heal check is at +0, feel free to make all skill checks and saving throws on my behalf. My character sheet should be up to date.

Reavis, can you take a 5 foot step around your current enemy so that I can get Hania in close? My plan is to use smite evil and really whack her with a sword.

Reavis steps out of the way of his compatriots and fires an arrow at the female enemy next to him. Not only does he open himself to attack, he somehow drops the arrow before firing it. "Bah!"

Longbow + PBS + Mutagen: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 1 + 2 = 11

Firing a bow adjacent to the enemy will provoke an AoO.

Can I tell how injured the man seems to be?

Silver Crusade

Paladin of Shelyn 17

Hania walks up to the woman. As she walks, she yells "Evil one, repent, or I will see that you pay for what you have done!"

Swift action, declare target of Smite Evil

Then Hania swings her sword (one handed, because wand is in the other)
attack:1d20 + 5 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 3 = 28 (bypasses any DR because of smite)
damage:1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 = 7

confirm critical:1d20 + 5 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 3 = 9
There's no way that hit, so not a critical hit.

This assumes that it was the woman who set off Detect Evil, not the man.

Dembar fires off another acid splash at the remaining man.

He is very hurt
AoO: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

The woman then steps back and casts a spell. A cone of color envelops Hania and Reavis! Need a will save DC 13 you two.

Azuk steps forward and tries to daze the man while Warden proceeds to smash and rend him to bits.

Daze, Will DC 13.

Warden slam attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Warden claw 1 attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

The daze has no effect but wardens first attack drops sends him crashing across the room. He does not get back up.

Suddenly Hania cant see! And slumps to the floor unconscious! Out cold for: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5 Rounds Blind and stunned after for: 1d4 ⇒ 4 Rounds

OK, I'm out for the rest of this fight! At least I got in one solid hit on the enemy who got me.

In case it matters, the smite gives me +3 AC versus the woman

Searlas looks over at the caster, holding a knife to her companion.

"You'll be leaving here under the care of Warden. Either as his charge or his cargo. Your actions will determine which."


Deity, Benevolent or Malevolent that remains to be seen.

She crouches next to the unconscious form of Hania,"I think you should let him go of this pretty loses her throat." She says her clawed hand ready to tear at flesh. "I say you stop his bleeding, then he and I leave while you lot wait in that corner. Or this one becomes a lot less alive."

Feel free to give me a sense motive.

Searlas does a few mental calculations and gets a really dumb idea...

"Yeah... Yeah... Do you have a um... What's the word..." He continues in draconic "potion of cure light wounds? He's in pretty bad shape."


Deity, Benevolent or Malevolent that remains to be seen.

She responds in Draconic, "He has on in his pack." Her claw still hovering above Hania's throat.

Azuk you don't think the intimidate did anything. Those who beat the sense motive of 10 notice that she is willing to die, taking Hania with her, but would prefer to leave with her friend.

"Great, friends, please stand aside."

Searlas riffles through his pack for the potion but keeps a steady eye on the woman and Hania. He pulls out the cure light wound potion and slowly administers it, silently hoping it isn't enough to wake him up. CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

He gets up, and steps back from the man.

"Please move away from Hania and I'll move away from your friend."

Readied action: As soon as she is 10 ft away from Hania, Searlas casts Deja Vu on her.

Well it's 1 round for drawing the potion and talking, 1 to administer it, and probably 1 to back off slowly, so you should clear your head right about the same time that I make my move if she plays along nicely. If not... We'll see what happens.

Searlas sits in the chair, 10 ft back from the unconcious male assailant and says "Just be a good chap Azuk and keep true to your word. Ma'am, your friend will need some help out of here, but he'll be fine."

Still keeping the readied action, if she gets 10 ft from Hania or Hania gains conciousness, Deja Vu on the assailant.

since this much conversation would certainly lead us into the action period...

As she moves to pick up her friend I hit her with deja vu, keeping her from performing a Coup de Grace. "Warden, would you like to do the honors?"

Warden swivels to address Searlas. "ALL CONTRACTS MADE IN GOOD FAITH MUST BE HONORED TO THE LETTER OF THE AGREEMENT."

Azuk rolls his eyes and points to the hulking automaton with a thumb. "See? You can't rely on this guy for anything."
