As Kim approached, Kimberly soo realizes that she makes no noise, she cannot hear her voice or her breathing, nothing.
She stops mid stride, she takes a step back trying to figure out what is going on.
Both Tolvan and Kimberly walks into an area that is under the effect of a silence spell. Danica reaches the enemy caster and gets ready to deliver some Inquisitor's Justice. The woman, visibly upset of Danica arrival in melee, once again withdraws.
Tolvan double moves, managing to get into a good spot to watch the expected charge from Danica.
When the woman moves out of eyeshot, Anna grins and moves up to the tavern. She presses her body against the building then moves to the edge where hopefully she can catch the scythe-wielding woman unawares. She sticks her head around the corner and fires off an errant shot with her crossbow.
Having lost sight of Anna, Theopolis keeps barreling forward pounding his fist into this shield, trying to distract the witch from whatever Anna may be doing.

The group continue to close in on the retreating cultist. Anna hides on the side of the inn and take a shot at the woman. Her crossbow bolt fall short and hits the the ground a few feet from the target.
Danica continues to run after the cultist and a swirling attack with the nunchaku.
Danica charges the cultist, landing a direct blow of her nunchaku in her ribs. She winces at the pain, but remain silent. Kimberly, seeing the group continuing without her, moves closer of the threat but stays behind her friends. Her lips move in a silent prayer and she flashes a silver unholy symbol. At that same moment, everyone feel a wave of negative energy passes through you. She then continue to back away.
Danica begins to feel the dark energy permeate her body but her focus and will keeps the most harmful effects at bay. "Surrender and repent!"
Tolvan grimnices as the oily energy washes over him. He delays his action to see if the enemy will drop after this round of attacks.
"Oww! Damn it!" Anna swears as the awful energy hits her, though she fights some of it off. Anna reloads her crossbow then tries to climb up to the roof of the tavern.
As dark energy pummels his body, Theopolis grits his teeth and pushes through the pain. When the waves stop, he runs forward and tries to maneuver around the cultist to prevent her further withdraw.
When he gets in position he quickly grasps his hands together and heals the memory of the channeled pain.

Danica attacks the cultist as she moves away, but her nunchaku is deflected by the woman's armor. Danica, then follows her to strike again. This time the weapon hits the cultist on the side of the head, making her spit some blood. Danica's offer to surrender only gets a silent stare for an answer. Anna climbs on the roof of the inn, trying to get a better view of the situation. Tolvan seems to wait and see how his companion will fair before acting. Theopolis run past the cultist to put an end to her retreating, but opened himself to an attack as he passes. Her scythe swings low and the and the curved blade gets past Theopolis defense to hit him in the legs.
Kimberly advances even closer, You and your kind are an abomination to Pharasma, she has commissioned us to send you to her for your judgement.
As she finishes her threat, chains of black magical force erupt from the ground around the evil cleric attempting to entwine themselves around her.
Tolvan will ready to cast Magic Missiles at the cultist if she tries to cast a spell or channel.
Seeing her withdraw option closed, the cultist tries to call upon her divine magic to help her out. but just as she is about to speak, four small bursts of arcane energy hit her directly in the torso. She falls backward on the ground. As you make sure she isn't going to get back up, you have a somewhat uneasy feeling when you notice that she as a smile on her lips. Looking around, you don't see any patrol, but you are in the open.
Theopolis gathers up the body of the cultist, and moves back toward there this encounter first began.

Danica goes on top of the cultist to check that she is actually either dead or unconscious.
Danica also begins to cast Detect Magic on the cultist. She also mentions to her friends, "Guys, start looking around. We are in the open. We may need to get ready for another fight. Kimberly, Tolvan, come in tighter."
Seeing that the evil woman falls but not before drawing the gang out into the open, Anna takes advantage of her position on the roof of the tavern to look around to see if anything is moving in their direction. She remains low on the roof, sticking close to the chimneys to make sure she's not easily seen.
From your vantage point you can see the town square. You don't see any sign of the group having been detected.
Your spell detect the following object as magical:
-Scythe
-Breastplate
-Pearl
-Potion
She also have the following that is non-magical
-4 flasks of a clear liquid with silver powder in it
-Onyxes
-Silver Dust
-Spell component pouch
-Silver Unholy Symbol
Anna whispers to the rest of the group, "Hey, I'm up here on the roof, and it seems like we're okay. No special movement by the dead guys in the town square. I'm going to keep an eye on things a little while longer. Someone make sure they grab my big crossbow, please? I just have my little one."
Anna keeps up her surveillance of the village square and makes sure to keep an eye on the treeline as well, since that woman seemed to be watching it closely.
Knowing that these undead making types tend to not wanna stay down, Kimberly maintains her chains holding the evil cleric to the ground, "just in case."
she will glance skyward to try and see what the cleric ladu may have been looking at up there when she went down.
Tolvan retreats back to where Anna's crossbow was dropped and retrieves. <<Got it.>> he replies to Anna. He then follows Theopolis back to their starting point.
Theopolis gathers up the cultist bound in mystical chains, and starts to carry her back to there they first started this battle.
"No need in staying out in the open like this. Let us get back to some form or cover before we are discovered."

After moving the cultist to a safer spot Danica begins to remove all the items from the evil woman. "Sythe, breat plate, this pearl and this potion have a magical aura. Tolvan, lets see if these items can help us any." She then takes the holy symbol trying to determine which god she worships.
Once they are all back at a save location Tolvan will assess the cultist's belongings. The onyx stones are material components to raise the dead as undead. he state flatly before studying the flasks of a clear liquid with silver powder in it. [b]Id guess that this is to help fight the werewolves.
And after casting his own Detect Magic he studies the 4 items with magical auraa.
If the area around the tavern seems quiet enough, Anna turns her attention to the building itself. She begins listening at the chimney for signs of any conversations within.
First she'll report to everyone what she hears within the tavern. Then, if the chimney is cold, she'll whisper to everyone, <<When you're ready to move inside, let me know. I'm going to slip down from up here.>>
Kimberly stares up at the sky for a moment, trying to see if there is anything up there. Seeing only clouds, she turns back her attention to the cultist, maintaining the spell that is holding her. Theopolis carry the woman back to the front door of the inn, trying to stay a bit out of the way. Once there, Danica and Tolven goes through the woman's gear. Anna, while keeping an eye on the gathering of undead in the town square, moves closer to the inn's chimney and tries to evaluate if anyone is in there. Aside from the wind, she doesn't hear anything.
<<Hold your position Anna. Things are good here. Just need a moment. >> Tolvan sends.
After his examination he divulges his findings. And I was wrong about this silvery liquid. It seems to be unholy water.
[ooc]Can he tell if the pearl has been used?[/b]
Theopolis gets out his rope and ties up the cultist, before the magical bindings end.

Danica watches while Theo ties up the cultist. "Where there is one there are more to follow. What are we to do with her?"
Once the cultist is tied, Kimberly dismisses her magical chains.
Kimberly simply moves as much out of sight as she can in vicinity of the tied up cultist. if she isn't dead, maybe we can question her, but I really don't like using pharasma's magic o the likes of her.
Kimblerly checks to see if she is in fact still alive.
Kimberly bends down next to the cultist, She notices that the woman is still bleeding and if no one do anything about it, she will die in the next few seconds.
Kimberly at first is happy to see her just bleed out, but a part of her hates to see suffering like this,
she binds the cultist's wounds to keep her alive, for now.
Kimberly successfully binds the woman's wounds before she bleeds out. She is now bound and unconscious, but stable. Anna, while keeping an eye out on the town square, doesn't see any sign of patrols so far moving toward the group's location.
Whispered, <So are we ready to go into this tavern now? Spells are on going.>
------------------------------------------------------
Current Effects: Divine Bond (Shield +2 Enh), 7 min; Bless (Kimberly);
<<Ready here.>>
<<Let's make sure this cultist is bound securely and gagged. Hide her in the bushes.... butt ass naked or down to the under garments. Let's not give her the opportunity for her to come back for another round.>> Danica holds onto the cultist's holy symbol and makes sure that rope is tied around her mouth.
Danica give the ready sign after the cultist is secure and well hidden.
Danica confirms that the cultist isn't going anywhere soon and then hide her in some bushes. Then, the group heads to the door of the tavern. This once bustling tavern is now a barely standing building with faded paint on the walls and broken windows. What furniture still there are broken and the floor bears water damage from exposure to the element. In a corner, you find a simple cot for sleeping, some food and a small personal shrine bearing a similar look to the unholy symbol that Danica got from the cultist.
Anna snickers at Danica's suggestions on how to deal with the cleric.
<<See you inside,>> she whispers, then climbs down the chimney.
Theopolis will take the lead going through the door, so Anna can have the element of surprise with her entrance.
He looks around for anything useful and tries to avoid the extremely damaged floor areas.
<< the cultist will live for now. but I do not like the idea of keeping her alive. Pharasma want her to pass judgement, and I don't think she will like it much >>
bring up the rear of the group, Kimberly makes her way into the old tavern as well.
Theopolis walks around the tavern. Aside from the bag with the provision inside, he doesn't find anything else.
Theopolis slings the bag over his shoulder.
"Well nothing else here, let's take her bag and other belongings and make it look like she has left the area." he suggests.
