Domeric ends his song and casts Saving Finale as an immediate action to grant Senn another save. He then casts glitterdust in an attempt to blind as many enemies as possible.

Senn gets to reroll her save. Everyone continues to get +2 to hit and damage thanks to lingering performance. Glitterdust is 10 foot radius, DC 17 will, not sure what map we're on so move me as necessary

Bitey tears into the priest, with two blows he drops the priest. As the priest falls the remaining shade does so as well.

Loot: Doom Idol of Ib (green stone)

Hurray! Time to eat small pastries!

"Does eating in a dream count as eating it once we are out of here?" Penith wonders.

What do you want to do next?

"Standard plan? Go back the the ship, sleep, then on to the next item?"

You complete the ritual again.

There are humanoids of several different races partaking. In the middle of them is a female figure with elaborately coiffed hair and a curvaceous form draped in expensive fabrics.

Image of the figure in images link

"Domeric, sorry to lean on you again but you are charming and some how the one that does not smell like they have been on a boat for weeks. We are looking for night hag ambassador's heartstone."

Figuring that the direct approach was best, Domeric headed over to the woman, as she seemed to stand out quite a bit, ”Excuse me,” he said politely, ”You wouldn’t happen to know where I could find the Night Hag ambassador, would you?”

Domeric as you move forward you relise that the female figure is a night hag

Greetings, I am the ambassador. Quaveandra at your service."

"I think we need to speak to the ambassador in private don't we Domeric?"

”I don’t suppose you’d have a moment to speak in private Ambassador?” Domeric inquired.

Trevor is wondering if Domeric is in danger of getting eaten.

"Why certainly"

Quevandra leads you into a small private room containing sumptuous divans and pillows.

"How can I help you?

"Well, you see..." Domeric said, "We needed your heartstone. We were hoping to come to some sort of arrangement for it."

"Well I'd be willing to trade my heartstone if you were willing to do something for me in return.

You see in the past few weeks I've been the target of several assassination attempts: poisoned food; delivery of a robe of powerlessness as an anonymous gift and an ambush to name but a few. I suspect that someone among my retinue might be responsible. My retinue is large but I've narrowed the suspects down to three: Ammanetta (my steward); Dol Thelth (my astrologer and fortune teller) and Kavriki (one of my musicians). If you could interview them then report back on which of them is the assassin.

Anyone know truth magic?

”Lucky for you, I’m pretty good at sniffing out lies. I think we can help you out.”

Determining the truth is well within Atajay's skill set.

"Let's try Ammanetta as the steward she will have access to the Ambassador."

Ammanetta is a shrewish, picky tiefling woman. She seems very short tempered when you go to speak to her.

"Hello, may I introduce Domeric and Atajay."

Senn will leave it to you guys to decide if you want to disclose why we or here or lie about it.

Atajay nods, staying quiet, waiting for the more vocal of the group to start the questioning.

Sense Motive 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (10) + 17 = 27 once the questioning starts.

"Hello, the mistress said you needed to speak to me?"

”How is your relationship with the Ambassador? How long have you been working here? What did you do before being hired? Do you suspect who might be targeting the Ambassador? Does the Ambassador have any enemies?”

Figure it’s easier to ask a bunch of questions up front since it is PBP.

"I've been working here for decades. Prior to that I worked in another lord's castle doing the same role. The Ambassador and I have quite a good relationship, she lets me get on with managing her household without too many interruptions. The Ambassador doesn't have any enemies that I know of. If anyone's behind this I would say it's that fool Dol Theth."

Atajay, she appears to be telling the truth.

”Don’t leave. We will talk with Dol Teth next!”

Same sorts of questions for Sol Teth? Anything else we should ask him?

Sense Motive on answers 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (12) + 17 = 29

Senn watches Atajay amazed not being particularly good at detect truth from lies she put here faith in him.

Dol Teth is a bombastic man,ruddy faced and plump.

Atajay you think he is telling the truth
