I have moved Nanny to a spot where she might see.
Nanny's spell causes the creature to roar and contort in agony as it stomps forward to swing its axe at Andor.

Kyra descends the stairs, not yet knowing the cause of the sounds of combat. As she passes by Brallenera, she now sees the bull man.
She touches the dwarfess' shoulder, imbuing her with a bit of Sarenrae's blessing.

Andor sees the Minotaur and snarls.

He attacks!

Roderick continues down and around the stairs, moving to a better vantage point.
” Ah Yes. A typical example of the types of brute customary in the slave business.“
He mixes and drinks a concoction of true strike to help target the Minotaur thru the bars.

GM Elberion |

A frowning gnome with a shock of blue hair rounds the corner and tuts, "Oh, dear. We can't have this. No, no, no. This will not do."
He casts some kind of spell.
DC17 will save for Andor and Nanny, please.

Nanny shrugs off the gnome's spell.
Nanny is immune to magical sleep due to her elfishness.

Of course. The caster just had no idea who had the least hit dice.

Andor is already closing his eyes when he is touched by his goddess and can gain his composure to not fall asleep.

GM Elberion |

Overwhelmed, the minotaur falls to the sustained assault of the Pathfinders.
As it falls, a young man with a hard, sneering face rounds the corner, weapon in hand. The young man is taken aback to see the beast fall and stands with his blade ready before him.

Hearing the death throes of the minotaur, Zadim moves forward, blade still in hand. Moving through the doorway, he pauses over the body of the fallen creature upon seeing the others present. Move action
"Unless you wish to suffer the fate of this battered bovine, I'd steer clear of any further attacks. Drop your weapons." declares the slayer as he bullishly brandishes his blade. "I'd hate for you to make the same mis-steak that he did."
Though his eyes stare sternly, Zadim cannot restrain himself from bearing a small grin. As he does so, he considers the newly-revealed swordsman.

GM Elberion |

Another human rounds the corner, "Hey, what's going on with all of this..." and pauses upon seeing the fallen minotaur, "Griff!"
However, this man pauses only for a second before charging at Zadim, "Get away from him you sons of..."
The man goes quiet as Zadim's kukri flashes, slicing his hip.
He responds with a swing of his wooden club.

Zadim easily sways out of the way of the swinging club.

Roderick scowls as more slavers arrive.
”It would seem the entirety of the complex is here to greet us. I brought just the thing for them. “
He moves to a spot to see the gnome then hurls a shock bomb at him.

Brallenera's axe smashes the slaver in the face and he falls to the floor in a crumpled heap.
Kermit is about to shoot the downed slaver and instead turns his arrows on the other thug. His body is pierced and he stands gasping, barely daring to move.

Zadim's weapons cut deep into the gnome's flesh.

Roderick will move into the room and ready to bomb the gnome if he tries to attack or cast a spell.
You would be wise to surrender as well, Mr. Gnome.

Xim's throw, however, goes wide and splashes the two slavers, dropping the last one.

All of the Pathfinders enemies are dead, but Andor is still frozen in place.
With Noral leaving, Andor's paralysation will be permanent. We'll say you collect him at the end, unless you TPK and then maybe the Society buy him out of slavery. There will be a closet soon that you can hide him in.

![]() |

Well, that is most unfortunate. Although we were efficient eliminating their resistance, I hope we did not need to gain any intelligence from them. If only they had surrendered like we asked.
Roderick will move forward to get a better look around the corner.

GM Elberion |

Sorry, I wrote the wrong thing. None are dead, only dying.

![]() |

Wait? Yes, if they are still alive, let us see what they have to say. Roderick says as he comes back from peering around the corner for more of the pesky slavers.

GM Elberion |

The gnome looks the least injured, while the minotaur seems very close to death.

Le Kyra Pregen |

Kyra ponders, and comes to a decision the gnome may hold the best chance on answers.
"Unless someone wishes to spare the bull, i leave it for the gods to be judged."
She approaches the gnome, and casts stabilize.

Won't bother to roll a Coup de grace
Brallenera's axe cut the minotaurs throat, spreading his blood on her body
Awww, seems to me the gods have judged and spoken.

Zadim - Pregen |

"The wounds that we inflicted were quite greivous, Blessed Lady. If these villains are to have strength enough to speak, you will likely need to impart more divine magics upon them." Zadim suggests to Kyra. "Though, they do not deserve such grace "

Le Kyra Pregen |

Kyra nods vaguely at his words.
"Your words hold truth, on their lack of deserving. Keeping and torturing people and still engaging hostilities when offered the chance to step down."
"Even so, if they do hold information which could prove significant to our mission, i should at least try. If they still refuse to speak, or are still as hostile, then they have proven themselves innately vile enough."
"At which point their fate lies in the Grim Lady's hands."
Stabilize on the other goons.

Zadim - Pregen |
1 person marked this as a favorite. |

"I am honored to provide you with counsel, as long as you would have me." Zadim replies. As well as anything else that you may desire, My Beloved, Zadim quietly thinks to himself.

So now what path does our quest lead? Can any intelligence be gleaned from these fallen hooligans? Roderick looks around, still expecting more to jump out at any second.

GM Elberion |

Beside the minotaur, the remaining foes are stable but unconscious.
What now?

![]() |

I would recommend binding them and then applying a curative if possible. Roderick will dig out some rope.
Oops...
After searching through his haversack and finding just about one of everything else, rope is not one of them.
Well, that is embarrassing. I seem to have left my rope back at the shop. If one of the others can spare some, I will tape the gnome with a wand and see what wealth of knowledge he is willing to share. Otherwise, we can just keep moving. I care not.

GM Elberion |

The prisoners are tied up and placed in comfortable positions where they should be able to breathe and speak easily. Water is prepared so that they will be able to talk without growing parched.
They are all unconscious.
A door and a tunnel are unexplored ahead of you.
That moment when we all become vividly aware that PF is a game of resource management. Is what they might know worth a spell? An alchemical item? Time?

Zadim - Pregen |

"To be forrewarned is to be forearmed. And I do believe our primary objective our foray here was to uncover information about our quary. Therefore...". Zadim pauses midsentence to retrieve his wand of cure light wounds and offers it to Kyra. "If you would do us the honors, Dear Sunrise of the Dawnflower?"
Assuming Kyra takes and uses the wand on a prisoner...
Despite the deep olive tones of the slayer's skin, he is almost seen to blush as his hand brushes against that of the cleric during the exchange.
As the prisoner comes to, Zadim counsels, "You are presently alive only by the mercy of the Holy Flame, yet the fire of the goddess consumes the unrepentant who refuse her grace and offer of redemption. Thus, you will have but one opportunity to tell us all we wish to know."
"Why did you attack us? By whom are you employed?" he asks, "And what do you know of a woman with a distinctive tattoo?"
Intimidate: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

Le Kyra Pregen |

"Kyra will do, Zadim." , and she takes the wand from Zadim with a polite nod.
Perception?: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
"Are you okay yourself? You look a little feverish.", is a short response before she activates the wand to tap each prisoner once.
When Zadim starts questioning them, Kyra does a quick general checkup on the others, to see if they look red and feverish.
Take 10 for 25, with guidance, on heal checks.
