Watanabe would scream out in terror but his face seems to not be working.
Watanabe takes a bit of ghoul saliva into his veins. The stiff Wizard feel like he spent two straight nights posing as a Calistrian!

Father Emmett sends a quick, desperate prayer to Dammerich as these unholy beasts surround his fellow officers. Feeling the tickle under his balls that signals his prayer has been answered, Father Emmett releases a wave of hot pink energy that heals his friends and damages his undead foes.

Father Emmett gives a satisfied moan and then quickly regains his composure.
He whispers Praise Dammerich

The two remaining ghouls seem to be patiently awaiting their turns. They begin conversing.
Not too certain. Wuz planning ta go ta da Fair, ut we may be stuck here fer a bit.
Dat's too bad. I really wuz looking forward ta da grilled human legs!
Yum! Perhaps sum cotton candied human brains
Ono grins, and says, ”My turn. Watch this.”
Ono assumes his picturesque ‘Point Blank’ stance, and fires two quick shots into the undead abomination before him.

Huh… that was less impressive than I was hoping for. You’ll get him next time, Ono., the elf thinks to himself to bolster his confidence for the next attack.

As a free action, Father Emmett lights a cigarette.

Round 2
Father Emmett bursts forth another channel!
The ghouls scream again in pain; not the good pain, but bad pain!
Ghoul #3 decides that Eight Is Enough! ; even though, it was not 8, but 10 didn't make sense for his Pop reference to make sense...He Steps closer to Father Emmett and kisses him!
It decides it really wants to know how many licks it takes to get to the center of an Emmett pop!
The ghouls laughs in delight!
It takes two licks of the Emmett!
Oh no. Get away from me! AAaaaarggghhh!!!
I don't think I remembered to take my vitamins this morning. Something feels...off
Miss Canella tries to stop her paralysis.
Ono takes aim at the ghoul standing next to him, and gives this whole killing ghouls thing another go.

Round 2
Ono watches in horror in which his companions are so intimately treated by these nasty, darn right nasty ghouls!
So, the Elf does what any good citizen (who is a cop) would do; he plants an arrow into each of their yucky, open mouths!
After a few moments of stillness, silence, and peace; Ono's friends begin moving, yawning, and complaining about their most recent engagement...
Across the Bridge and to the Barricade
”I hear whispers. They’re coming from over there!”, Ono says as he points towards the barricade.
Miss Canella walks over the bridge and looks around. She then begins to
groom herself.
I need a moment to treat my wounds.
HP back
Father Emmett steps forward with his crossbow loaded and ready.
Across the Bridge and to the Barricade
Father Emmett tosses a bit of partially chewed Hubba Bubba bubble gum on his wounds.
Ono and Miss Canella venture across the rickety bridge. The other side seems to have a portion of the area blocked by a turned over cart, filled with various supplies.
Two voice are heard once the Agents get a bit closer to examine the blockade.
Hey out there. Are the ghouls gone?
”Why yes! The ghouls have been dispatched. A simple matter, really… at least for highly trained Agents of the Edgewatch division.”
Across the Bridge and to the Barricade
The voices begin speaking in hushed tones. A bit chittery of a language.
The voices then get louder to address the Agents.
We are traders. We got ambushed by those ghouls. Thankfully you shoed up before they got pass the cart.
Some sounds of lifting and grunting begins sounding from the otherside.
A little help here?
Miss Canella stops grooming herself and walks over to the pill of rubbish
to help remove it.
Miss Canella does some quick furniture moving! There are two small ratfolk standing behind the other side of the overturned cart.
Ratfolk Refuge
The northern and eastern walls of this chamber appear to be excavated from the interior corner of a sunken, crumbling building, some of which has caved in along the eastern wall. To the southwest, a boulder from the cave-in blocks a heavy iron door.

Greetings little rat-faced and likely disease-ridden citizens. I'm glad we were able to free you. Are you suffering any injuries? Let us know and we'd be happy to help. We're exploring this area on behalf of the Agents of Edgewatch. I'm Father Emmett. Can you tell us anything about what happened to you or the area? Speak loudly so we can hear your little rat voices.
Father Emmett does not make a good first impression. Or second impression. Or third, well, you get it...
Miss Canella tries to talk to the refuges but she just meows, meows, and meows.
I'm sorry. It's been a long day. My name is Miss Canella. We are agents of Edgewatch. I'm sorry for the way my robe wearing partner was just now. May we help you? Are you hurt?
Watanabe whispers to the ratfolk, "Don't him "heal" you. It's just an excuse to get you into a patient's gown. Maybe I can do something," he considers the ice pick in his healer's kit.
Talking to Ratfolk
They both look at each other. One then tentatively gives their story while returning their goods to the cart.
The House of the Planes staff and their associates aren’t the only people who know about this corner of the Undercity. Two small-time ratfolk merchants named Kekker and Gref, who call themselves the Whisker Brothers, recently began using this passage to meet with their suppliers from the deep caverns beneath the city. Unfortunately, the meetings have attracted the attention of various subterranean horrors. During their most recent meeting in area D6, the dealers and thieves were attacked by a flock of vargouilles swooping in from the nearby Darklands passage. Both factions fled, but the panicked ratfolk were faster and slammed the door to D4 behind them, consigning their business contacts to their grim fate. All the commotion drew in a group of ghouls who then attacked from the other side, trapping the smugglers in this chamber and forcing them to use their trade goods as a barricade.
Both ratfolk seem extremely skittish from the way the robe-wearing Agent with the axe is talking....

When you Treat Wounds, you can deal 1d8 slashing damage to your patient just before applying the effects of Treat Wounds. If you do, you gain a +2 circumstance bonus to your Medicine check to Treat Wounds, and if you roll a success, you get a critical success instead.
Why is Watanabe staring at me so intensely?
Father Emmett checks to make sure he hasn't soiled himself in all the commotion.
Ono chimes in, seeing an opportunity to flatter (or perhaps offend) these small rat-like creatures.
“All is well here for the moment, my furry rat-like friends. We’ve saved you from the ghouls. Obviously we are friendly, wouldn’t you agree?”
Talking to Ratfolk
Having helped with the ghouls, helped with the cart and the merchandise, and helped deter these jittery ratfolk from carving up the robe-wearing, axe wielding, poop smelling Cleric; Miss Canella's and Ono's honeyed words leave them smiling.
We thank you for your help. Please take these as gifts.
They dig in the cart, bringing out a padded case with nine bottles of lesser alchemist’s fire and a rune of +1 weapon potency rune.
With that the two merchants bid the Agents farewell, leaving with their goods and their lives....
Staircase
A narrow staircase winds up the northern end of this cavern to an iron door. A massive pile of debris takes up the southwestern corner of the area, while passages lead to the west and south.
The brave, brave Agents open the door to the staircase, descending down into the darkness.
Creepers’ Last Stand
As the Agents descend to the door at the bottom of the stairwell, Ono and Miss Canella leading the way, the Elf thinks he hears a noise coming from the East as they exit the stairwell.
Coming out of the darkness are two gaunt small humanoids, with pale flesh and white eyes. They are brandishing daggers!
Sensing the aggression these creatures harbor towards him, Ono takes a short range bow stance and fires a few arrows at the closest creature.

I also hear a noise. And I think it is these evil lads ahead of us!
Pre-combat, Father Emmett casts Light.
In combat, Father Emmett fires off a Divine Lance at the one Ono hit (if still standing) or the other one.
Good damage.
He then casts Shield on himself.
Creepers’ Last Stand
Round 1
Ono quickly decides that these two punks are in need of a good sharp talking too!
Father Emmett decides that these two punks must be Evil! His Divine Lance strikes the closest--arrow infused--punk. He giggles with laughter because it only tickles!
The punk with arrows in his chest decides that he doesn't like those arrows in his chest! Suddenly, blackness blinds our Agents!
Miss Canella tries to identify the creatures but fails. She moves 10' and raises her shield.
Creepers’ Last Stand
Round 1
The darkness invades the mind and courage of our Miss Canella! She scoots over opposite to where she seen the mean-looking fellows with knives.
Without warning (because that would be stupid), Ono feels the sharp cut of something!
Another sharp pain erupts from the Elf!
The Elf begins feeling a bit put upon!
