"What? This is the rat man? Hmmm... somehow I was expecting a pointed nose. Or whiskers. If you all don't mind I'd rather he were with us than against us. Especially if it means not getting eaten by rats again. I'm self centered like that."
Elhona eyes the halfling suspiciously. "He's clearly a mercenary - he proved that much earlier. All right, you help us, we let you go take care of your family, and none's the wiser. You leaving now, or wanting to see this done?"
The halfling nods,
"I'll watch from a safe distance. Sure you don't want to know anything about those you face? They are not subtle, but don't let Treygar catch you distracted he's deadly with those knives, don't know much about the cowled fellow, except he's very ugly, and I'd swear he's some sort of wizard. The Lumps are stupid, but strong enough. All a%!!~#%$s."
"Just the four then? Or do we get more than two Lumps in our tea?"
"Three Lump brothers, all stupider and uglier than the last, but I better be on my way. Good luck, me and my progeny are routing for you!" The halfling says before rushing off into a nearby alley.
Ahead of you the blue door swings in a gentle breeze ajar, and Tom Filth whistles, "Well, better you than me, for what its worth good luck to you, you seem nicer than that bunch of butt monkeys."
Chandra thinks Well I may get a use out of my sleep after all.
She smiles gently and says"Shall we go?"
Moving forward the group see five figures emerge from the blue door, as they approach the burlier of the two cloaked figures on your right calls, "Snivelling little shit sold us out did he, he's not going to like the consequences - I'll feed him to his own vermin."
Moving forward Kibur hurls an acid dart at one of the Lump borthers, hitting the man and eliciting a roar of pain as the acid sizzles upon his flesh.
Gabriel will move forward 20' throw a flask of Alchemist fire at Lump #2 (directly south of him)
Gabriel's throw goes wide of the mark, but the vial hits the wall behind the Lump brother targeted and shatters spraying the cloaked figure with flames.
Denenor moves forward.
Yves moves pulling one of his javelins ready to throw in the Cloaked fellow that took fire damage from Gabriel.
Despite the cover afforded by the Lumps Yves mighty throw finds the cloaked figure, who cries out in pain, though he keeps his feet.
The thugs bellow and move forward moving at the direction of Treygar to surround Yves, as he joins them. Swinging crude gauntlets the brothers prove as inept as their names suggest and are easily avoided.
Wielding a pair of long knives Treygar dashes in to flank with a Lump, aiming for Yves's kidneys, but failing to penetrate the barbarian's armour.
Chandra moves up 15 ft and begins to cast a spell.
The cowled figure begins chanting a spell, his words and movements eerily reminiscent of Chandra's as sand filters through his fingertips.
Elhona moves up to flank with Deneor, drawing her falcata, but the water is difficult to move through at speed and she does not have time to strike.
Kibur moves up and swing his battleaxe at Treygar, but cannot connect with his agile foe.
The barbarian´s eyes shows all the rage that takes control of his body, then with a precise movement he turns the warhammer to hit one of the men around him.
_
Gabriel will charge attack the cowled figure (provokes an AoO from one Lump)
Gabriel will move forward 20' and throw another vial of alchemist fire at the cowled figure
Gabriel's alchemist's fire misses it target again, but shatters against the wall behind him splashing him with burning hot liquid again. But despite gritting his teeth at the minor burns the cowled man is able to continue his spell.
Flanking with Elhona, Denenor stabs at the thug before him, his blade comes away red and the man staggers, clearly only just able to keep his feet.
Following Treygar's roared orders the Lumps move to provide him with a flank upon Yves and their leader slashes out with both of his blades! Both knives land one sinking into the tender flesh over Yve's kidney and the mighty barbarian tumbles to the cobbles his blood flowing freely.
One of the Lumps takes a defensive stance swaying on his feet from his injuries, the other two lash out with their crude spiked gauntlets at Kibur and Elhona. Kibur takes a painful blow that breaks his nose and leaves blood trickling down through his beard.
Chandra's magic envelops him and for a moment his eyelids begin to droop and his chanting becomes half yawn, but then he shakes his head vigorously disciplined mind fending off the enchantment.
Elhona attempts to take the staggered Lump down, then shift to aid Kibur against the cloaked one.
Chandra moves next to Gabriel and lets our an ear piercing scream that only the cowled figure can hear. "STOP"

DESCRIPTION
You unleash a powerful scream, inaudible to all but a single target. The target is dazed for 1 round and takes 1d6 points of sonic damage per two caster levels (maximum 5d6). A successful save negates the daze effect and halves the damage.
The cowled figure stops dazed and damaged by Chandra's assault his spell fizzling.
Elhona downs the injured Lump brother, and Kibur lashes out at Treygar with Elhona flanking, but is still unable to connect to his great frustration. Denenor moves exposing himself to Treygar and one of the Lump brothers to feed Yves a potion. Treygar's dagger is deflected by the elf's armour, but the lump catches him a telling blow on the cheek with his crude gauntlet sending blood flying.
Gabriel will move forwards 20' and take a swing at the wizard?
Yves tries to keep his forces, fatigued by the effects of his lost fury when the time he was unconscious. The barbarian tries to stand up, hoping to returns of their power.
Treygar turns his twin blades upon Elhona, put can only skewer her with one. The Lumps assault Elhona and Kibur with their crude gauntlets, Kibur receiving a blow to the head that opens his previous wound further leaving him, unsteady on his feet.
After a hard fight the party are finally able to defeat their foe. They capture the mysterious caster, Aldashe Truesight and are able to extract the information that the Aspis Consortium were seeking control of an evil fungus within the fallen dwarven stronghold that they believed they could turn into a weapon. With this information the dwarves are able to enlist the aid of the Pathfinder Society and finally secure themselves a home and restore their honour.
The party go their various way, but the tales of the adventures are another story.
