Heh he can't mean you Ivar eh... Priestess? Vat are you doink?
Albrecht turns to look at Merelinda, brows furrowed.
Merelinda grins at Albrecht's question, keeping her gaze on the elf. "Swapping secrets, Captain. Sex isn't the only creed of us Calistrians, you know." Confident, cocky smile in place, she keeps the crossbow leveled at Jask, waiting for the response.
Bayani frowns, looking from Merelinda to Jask. Sic me on him? Really? That's the phrase she chooses to use?
Albrecht frowns slightly. Yes thank you, uh ok carry on. He points in confusion at Jask and Merelinda while looking around at the rest of the group.
Bayani points his rapier at the gorilla. "Stay put!" he says to it, but his attention is on Merelinda and Jask. "Priestess, you'd better have a damned good reason for what you're doing..."

The confusion of her allies seems to only cause her amusement, but there is no amusement in her eyes for the 'elf' in her gaze. "Hold a moment, Ivar. Let our friend here explain himself properly before you go roughing him up. There will be plenty of time for that later, if need be."
She smirks, still looking at Jask as she answers Bayani. "Of course I have a good reason. I can't imagine myself holding a loaded crossbow on such a fine male specimen and ruining a potential midnight encounter for nothing."
MAP UPDATED.
Jask looks speachless for a moment.
And then...
MAP UPDATED AGAIN.
Jask channels alignment energy If you a "good" character you take it! If you are EVIL this channel heals you.
Jask's face rips open, as though it were a mask. In it's place is the face of an obscene serpent creature!
Ssssurely you do not think you can defeat the children of Ydersius?!
Mobutu
Ivar
Julian
Merelinda
Albrecht
Bayani
Tusara
Monsters - channeled alignment energy!
Albrecht falls unconscious to the floor of the temple of doom.
Unless allowed a save for half as most channel energy gives you, that puts Tusara out.
EDIT wait...
Instead of its normal effect, you can choose to have your ability to channel energy heal or harm outsiders of the chosen alignment subtype.
Isn't she just channeling negative energy rather than doing an alignement channel?
Of course you get a save roll! DC13
Albrecht isn't unconscious!
And Bartimaeus eats channels for panther breakfast!
Triggering Arcane bond for one last Color Spray which pretty much only hits her.
Die creature!
Oh, good catch. Maybe I only take 50%, and then 50% less again on a successful save, as is generally the case with alignment channeling.
"Jask, you BASTARD!" Bayani looks personally betrayed.
Bayani runs around the altar, seeking a clear shot at Jask, and throws another of his razor-sharpened Chakrams.
Merelinda is caught off guard by the channel of the snake person, and receives the effects fully. After her life essence has been nearly depleted, she sways on her feet, but remains upright. Through the fog of pain and sudden fatigue, she again asks for the Savored Sting's aid, taking care to exclude Jask.
Bartemeus and Ivar leap upon the serpent man. Their weapons sink deep. Then Bayani's weapon lands in it's snakey serpent head. It dies.
END COMBAT
Tusara heads off to check out that nice shiny and obviously trapped chest.
While Ivar threatens the already terrified gorilla and Tusara tempts Fate, Merelinda will move to the body of the snake person. She stares at it, her face grim as she remembers her dream. While her mind is occupied, she searches 'Jask' for valuables.
Julian approaches Merelinda and smiles. "Let me help you. Didn't seem right... in the head... for a fellow elf anyway. Sorry about the burns earlier."
Albrecht hops down from Bartimaeus and stands in front of the gorilla but out of reach.
Hello friend, now vat vas zat you said about a secret earlier? Vee really don't vant to hurt you but shrugs apologetically and gestures to Ivar the big fellow has been having a bad day and is a little quick with zee axe. Vat do you say, help me so I can help you?
The priestess shakes her head as the pirate breaks her reverie. She smiles up at him, indicating the unsearched portion of the snake-thing. "Be my guest, Julian. And no worries about the burns. Healing happens to be one of my many talents." Her full lips curl into a grin before she continues searching their foe, using 'detect magic' to see if there is any magic on him, as well.
The Gorilla answers Albrect (Diplomacy Check succeeds!) Yes, yes, Zamoozi remembers. You allow Zamoozi to show you? Zamoozi stands up. Is is 1/2 again as tall as Ivar at full height...
Tusara tugs on the chest. It is locked.
"Just a sec", Tusara asks the Gorilla, "My friends and I just want to unlock this chest"
Um, yeah, only Klorak opens the chest. Zamoozi no touch! But Zamoozi promised and Zamoozi give. Here is secret. The ape begins to push on the alter as if he intends to move it.
Merelinda hands the fine-looking dagger to the man nicknamed 'Knives', her expression amused. She will then sample the two potions, attempting to discern their nature.
The priestess grabs the unholy symbol, that look of dismay crossing her features before she stows it for the time being. She leaves the money for Julian to collect as something the gorilla says strikes her.
"Who is Klorak?"
. Klorak? He big man on Island. He give all us monkeys our smarts. He live by big boom mountain.
Potion1 = Potion of CLW.
Potion2 = still (unidentified)
"Does he look like this one?" She indicates 'Jask'. She will stow the potions for now, assuming the other is a CLW since it is the same color.
After getting a satisfying answer, she will put her back against the altar, attempting to help push it along after giving herself a slight blessing from Calistria.

medium. gear already described. No. 914.4mm.
Straining with effort, the priestess grins at the sorceress idly watching them. "Why don't you come over here and help? I can feel this thing starting to move, and you have nice thighs." She laughs, out of breath and starting to sweat though she actually isn't contributing much at all.
"You too, Julian. If you're done pocketing all that gold."
Zamoozi: *straining pushing altar* Klorak not ape, he is man. He is one who warned us about snake men... Zamoozi nods toward the heap of evil serpent cleric that was "Jask" lying on the floor.
