Well don't they make stuff we use, like pants? No different than any other clothing store.
From behind the next door you can hear the sounds of soft talking and perhaps the sharpening of weapons.
I dunno if we should just charge in, we don't know if they are just workers or someone else.
"Last time I tried to knock I got blasted in the face with acid. We also know that we tracked kidnappers here. I don't think we can negotiate, but I'm willing to try."
You can sense that Senn is hesitant about letting her guard down.
Opening the door you find a heavy wooden table covered with cups and plates sits in the middle of the room surrounded by finely carved chairs. Crates are stacked in the southern end of the room, and two rows of shelves line the room's northeastern corner. In the room are 4 guards.
Surprise inspection by order of the captain of the guard!
"We are here to inspect the prisoners."
Intimidate
”Don’t just stand there! If we have to contact your supervisor, we will do so.
The guards cower at Atajay's words and take you through into another large room saying the boss should be in there.(C7)
This spacious and airy room contains a half dozen large wooden tables covered with untrimmed hides. A wall of wooden racks holds freshly tanned and dyed leather. The room is otherwise empty.
As the guard leaves you hear a voice
"So you're here to try to rescue Dahab are you. Njano is pathetic if you're the best that she can do. Leave now or I will destroy you."
Bitey smell something?
”Who is speaking? You might be biting off more than you can chew,” Atajay warns the speaker.
"I am Nikta, and I'm afraid you won't be leaving this room alive!"
Unfortunately the smell of the tannery is so overpowering that Bitey is unable to get a clear fix on the speaker's position
Block 1: Trevor and Atajay
Block 2: Nikta
Block 3: Penith, Domeric and Senn
So Block 1, your actions
Trevor tries to ferret out where their opponent might be
Atajay casts See Invisibility on himself. ”Focus on hitting what the arrows are sticking out of next round,” he whispers to the good doctor Trevor.
"being invisible really is unfair" the worried woman complains to no one really.
"Point us in the right direction Dom or I can make them visible."
Atajay you can see a horned, blue skinned creature dressed in leather armour and carrying a hand axe and scimitar (see images)
The creature casts a spell at Atajay (Charm Monster - Will 22)
Block 3, your actions.
Will +1 v. Charms and compulsions
Atajay you manage to shake off the effects of the spell.
Senn you recognise the creature as a pairaka div. They have damage reduction except against good or cold iron weapons. They are immune to disease, fire and poison and are resistant to acid and electricity and they have spell resistance.
Domeric begins his song, and if Atajay points out the square in which the enemy is located, he will target it with glitterdust.
"I still can't see anything." Penith says after digging out a rock, all prepared to try and smash it.
Domeric you hit Nikta squarely with the glitterdust and she is blinded, you can now all see where she is.
When Penith sees her, she'll mentally throw her rock at it, clumsily.
Penith's rock just misses the creature
Senn sends Bitey pouncing with all the power Dom provides.
[Spoiler=Defense each turn]
Bitey takes an attack for anyone adjacent, Half of Trevor's Damage goes to Senn, anyone near Bitey has there ac boosted against attacks 2-6.

Senn delays.
Bitey hits several times, however not all of the damage gets through.
Trevor becomes the pain train of DOOM! and charges the nasty
The archer fires four arrows at the enemy.

[i]Trevor's hammer smashes into Nikta and she howls in pain.
Atajay's arrows then pierce her body.
In retaliation Nikta tries to attack Trevor, but misses.
Hammers, arrows, and bitey's teeth rain down on the once invisible one. Penith does her best to contribute as well.
Bitey Keeps attacking.
Bitey takes an attack for anyone adjacent, Half of Trevor's Damage goes to Senn, anyone near Bitey has there ac boosted against attacks 2-6.
Penith's rock flies through the air striking Nikta between the eyes.
The next moment Bitey bounds across and finishes her off.
Loot:
+3 leather armour
+1 handaxe
+1 scimitar
boots of elvenkind
set of keys
A large bed covered in silk sheets sits in the eastern side of the L shaped room. A standing mirror and armoire occupy the northern portion of the room. Tooled and carved leather pictures of mountains and desert landscapes cover this room's walls.
Tied and gagged and missing a finger is a man wearing an ochre jerkin, belt and boots.
Senn will start snooping and looking for dangers.
I take it this is the one we need to look for.
"He is missing a finger... so probably" Penith shrugs, then goes to remove the gag at least.
Senn you find a box partially hidden containing a +1 bolstering leather lamellar armour
Time to leave or trash the place?
"Aren't we supposed to take him back to the ghoul queen?"
Trevor tosses him over his shoulder. Might as well
"That very agreeable Gnoll lady. Yes, this seems to be her friend."
Senn indicates to Trevor that we should until the man.
