The Night Swan continues focusing her attacks on the same wounded monk as before, displeased at the speed of their attacks.

Major Kort roasts both his targets and though neither falls yellow is certainly teetering. Edelmira thwacks purple once as Kamari lands two deep strokes on green. Muri finally fells yellow with his first arrow and shoots at the newcomer, but can’t land the subsequent shots. Elen smacks blue three times, carving her blade through the poor monk.
Still naked the two on Elen step up to try and match her blow for blow.
Elen is touched up only a little, but a stunning blow slips through.
Purple and Red/Blue press Edelmira
Edelmira takes some hits from the exposure and has another stunning roll.
Green, Pink, and Orange - all pile on Kamari!
Kamari falls hard to the floor, the kind of fall she might not get up from. At least not soon. Those of you not present hear the huzzah from the other room as the monks celebrate.
The leader looks at the dead monk, and looks to the Major and Muri. "Looks like I've got one of yours, and you've got one of mine. Shall we dance this dance, or will you tell me what you're after here? Why have you invaded my home?"
She quaffs a potion and steps up on Muri and Major Kort.
The Night Swan is not pleased by this situation. She changes tacts for the moment, aiming a perfectly aimed, guarded, and powerful blow at one of the monks surrounding Kamari before taking a step back into the doorway. ”We could use assistance over here!”

Round 3
Kamari sees an elven woman in the distance and feels drawn towards her. She walks cautiously towards the figure and then notices a tear making its way down the sharp cheek bones that mirror her own. She pauses as she finds moving difficult. It's as if something pulls at her from behind, but she sees nothing when she turns her head.
With a tear in her eye Kamari smiles at the woman and turns away from her.
Elen keeps chipping away at her crew, wondering how the others are faring. She strikes blue again then finds herself back to back with Professor Kart/Major Kort.

"We could use assistance over here!”
"We're dealing with our own problems! You should have stayed back!" The halfling's composure breaks, as he speaks words to the Night Swan, while staring into the eyes of someone who feels like Death's representative.
"Looks like I've got one of yours, and you've got one of mine. Shall we dance this dance, or will you tell me what you're after here? Why have you invaded my home?"
"She wants to talk! Why don't we..." When Kort's fire erupts, Muri changes his sentence, "dance?" He knows from what he hears about monks that he's about to witness firsthand what someone agile and dextrous is able to accomplish in close quarters...
Muri flurries, and waits for return flurry.
As Underfoot doesn't provoke the ire of the elf with her teeth attacks, she takes two gnashes, for what they're worth!
Major Kort makes his position plain with a scorching! Edelmira switches targets to a fresher opponent, but does now have two demoralized. Kamari heroically clenches, and manages to stop the blood flow before the last of it pools beneath her. Muri takes a few pot-shots at the monk. The first attack is deflected away as the leader is just too fast for you, even at this range, so only one hit on the round. Still, she looks surprised at the depth of the fletching in her side from the second. Then Underfoot gets a bite in - well done! Elen smacks blue again, though he stubbornly doesn’t drop.
The two on Elen move up to try and match her blow for blow. Elen gets two AoO’s.
The monks smoothly envelop Edelmira, and pound away at her.
Purple 5’ steps and begins.
Red/Blue then steps into flank.
Orange tumbles to setup another flank and then attacks.
vs DC 26 (?)
Green beats pink to the flank with a 5’ step and swings!
Pink has to settle for no flank.
The leader frowns through the blood, and says, ”Then let’s dance.”
Things seem to shift, if only slightly, in the parties favor. However, the monks seem to be eyeing grappling the Night Swan next and just coupe-de-grace the problem away...
Kort delays slightly to allow Muri a chance to take down the leader and give Kort a wider range of options for his turn.
”We said charge in, so I charged in.”
Orange learns the same lesson Anakin Skywalker learned the hard way as to why doing a flip over someone looks really cool up until the moment she nearly chops you in half with a halberd.
She then steps back adjacent to Kamari and hacks at one of the wounded monks.

"You're really hard to hit, elf. Your training is good, at least. Too bad it serves Milon Jeroth. Did you know he's a rakshasa? Are you going to turn back into a rakshasa, once you drop?"
Muri is too busy talking to his dance partner to issue command to Underfoot to attack. He does kick his heels, indicating the direction he wants her to take, stepping back towards the cistern room.
"Surrender, maybe? Turn yourself into the Zimar authorities, and tell your sect to stand down? Maybe?"

Edelmira creams orange for the audacity of boxing her in, and manages another hit besides on green who finally drops! Kamari is cold… so cold... Muri’s first shot is cast aside, but the second strikes deep once again, and the leader falters and falls. He sends his subsequent shots at orange, who does not fall. Major Kort delays, then moves, dropping orange and blue with a one-two-fire! Elen tumbles through and past the opposition to set in a new better place.
Red looks very much like they do not want to play Elen’s game of yo-yo. But it’s all they have to do…
The monks smoothly envelop Edelmira, but this time try to bring her down with a grapple.
One lead and two assistant grapplers ( ) (two successes for +4).
vs DC 29
In a big pile of bodies, they grapple Edelmira and pull her down (as it were).
Elen takes the AoO on red and then swings at them repeatedly.

"Half down, half to go. Do you really want to end up like your mate? Surrender and live, or fight and die."
”They are all over me! Assistance would be appreciated.”
The Night Swan is not about to leave Kamari at the mercy of these assassins, so she was not planning on going anywhere, but she is not about to let these bastards take her down without a fight every last step of the way. She adjusts her fighting style to try to make it even harder for them to hold her.
She takes her one perfect strike on the one that has her held down.

Muri softsteps into view of Red, and lets the monk know he's there. "Do you think any of them want to talk? She looked like their leader, and might have talked."

Edelmira lashes out at the grappler, striking for a few. Kamari’s eyes flutter as the brain resets… Muri slams two into the naked monk, but doesn’t quite drop them. Major Kort steps further into the breach and drops purple with fire. Elen dances around a bit slashing red and dropping the last naked monk.
Red/Blue steps to Major Kort, perhaps looking for a way out!
Pink, untrusting of any other attacks, goes for the pin, trying to get Edelmira in their power.

Elen moves into the big room as far as she can go and whistles through her teeth at the remaining monks.
"What honor is in that?" she asks, referring to the swarm over Edelmira. "Over here..." she beckons.

Muri and Underfoot both watch as the west hall is cleared, watch as the elf spirits into the next big room, and both quietly pad over to see the carnage flower, monk petals and Kamari stem wilted on the floor.
The halfling lends his aggression against Red/Blue, with a single fire. Alas, the momentum of coming full stop throws off his aim.
Edelmira, though free, doesn’t manage to land a blow as she rises back to her full height. Kamari bubbles a bit, but seems content to rest for now. Muri stunned perhaps by Kamari’s inert form, misses the shot! Major Kort backs off and hits once. Elen double moves into a threatening position.
Both Red/Blue and Pink make tracks now that the way is open and their side has clearly lost. And of course evil is hardly known for their camaraderie.
Major Kort, Muri, and Underfoot each get a AoOs if appropriate. Red/Blue goes through first but the plan is obvious so you can all pile on pink if you wish. Edelmira gets a swing only on pink who, even with a withdrawal, can’t avoid her blade.
As fast as they are (50'!) I expect them to get away in the sewers, but maybe Muri can get off a parting shot.
| 3 people marked this as a favorite. |
Professor Kart declines to pursue the foes, and instead goes to check (and heal) Kamari and question what, if anything, she had learned from ignoring the advice of her wiser peers.
CLW
”How do you think that went? Is that your spleen or your dignity in the dirt over there?”
Muri feels the wind of monk movement before he turns away from Kamari's slumped body to see two remaining monks moving like mercury through glass tubing, past him and out.
He senses Underfoot's willingness to pursue, but the halfling's mind can already see how much space will be unfurled between the hunted and hunters, given their preternatural speed. Muri strokes the dog's mane, tucking his bow away, and waiting to see what becomes of the swordswoman.
He pays attention to both big room, and doorway leading into the cistern.
”How do you think that went? Is that your spleen or your dignity in the dirt over there?”
Knowing she has no leg to stand on and can barely stand as it is, Kamari holds back any sarcasm.
"While I figure that out could you please tap me a few--okay, a lot--more times?"
Elen pursues the monks as far as the entry to the cistern and takes note of which way they went. She then coup d’ graces the rest unless someone wants to talk to the bruised one.
Elen watches the monks flee westerly into the sewers - where upon they split up each heading down a different side passage in case of pursuit. They’re really moving!
As she turns to rejoin the party, there’s a bit of a splash from the east as if something large just entered the water. There’s even a bowl shaped bit of displaced water as something swims, snake like, rapidly away. Something invisible (and too far away for your blind sense).
She, presumably, returns to the group.
On the monks (well most of them - the two nudes have their stuff in their cubby) you find a variety of high quality items.

Clearly Milon was supplying them with vast wealth to have such magics so readily available.
Pending coupe de grace, there is one monk available for questioning. You also have not really checked the kitchen (off the dining room), the library nook where the leader was sitting and reading with two others, and there’s another door…
The Night Swan does not begrudge Kort his told-you-so’s—the privilege of the old—but she does not feel a duty to partake in them either—the privilege of the young, perhaps. She offers Kamari a hand up. ”I did not leave you. Even with your spleen and dignity on the floor, I will not leave you or anyone else here to be torn apart by villains.”
”I did not leave you. Even with your spleen and dignity on the floor, I will not leave you or anyone else here to be torn apart by villains.”
"Well, no one is saying that we should leave Kamari's spleen behind, but maybe we could act together such that Kamari isn't easily surrounded by five spleen-splaying goons? Perhaps a thoughtful discussion of Kamari's sucking of dirt might prevent such things in the future?" Professor Kart asks, trying to lead the discussion to someplace there learning and growth might occur.
The Professor will help identify the magics, and stowing those away that won't help Kamari listen to Elen's or his own good advice.
Kamari eyes the belt of physical might as Kort identifies the magical items.
"Good ideas were raised before things went askew. I can't speak for others, but I'll admit to a bit of overconfidence allowing me to not finish the plan before rushing in."
"Hey, hey you!"
Elen confronts the bowl shaped bit of displaced water and pursues.
"Why make a splash if you don't want to be noticed!?"
”I think she already has learned the lesson, Major. And your attitude suggests your feelings are still coloring you words. Let us save such discussion for when all heads are cool.” She turns to watch the hallways for movement. ”I claim none of the spoils.”
”And what about you? You held up quite well, but those who followed you? What about them?” Professor responds to The Night Swan, trying to make sure something is understood about the last fight.
It moves more slowly in the water, but still fast enough given its bulk (it has a swim speed). And of course there’s the, ah, quality of the sludgy water. Let me know if you try to pursue further or return to the group. For further pursuit two swim checks please and a disease save.
- - -
They party has a short wait for Elen’s return, but return she does (we'll continue in spoilers). Where do you investigate next?
The Night Swan turns and walks right up to the Major. She takes off her mask so he can see her eyes, dried tears from the stress of such a vicious combat.
”Do you really think you have some critique of me that I will not already have have running through my head? I remember every mistake I have ever made in clear detail, Major. They are a constant susurrus that I have had to learn to live with. Any discipline you may seek to inflict upon me pales in comparison to any I inflict upon myself.”
She puts her mask back on. ”Never presume to lecture me again.” Her voice breaks on the word “lecture” and turns and walks away.
Kamari casually slits the throat of the unconscious non-leader who she doubts knows anything of value before moving down the hallway.
"Speaking of good and bad plans, how about we make sure no one or thing is still lurking about. It would really suck to take a blow dart to the neck or something else while we were beating up ourselves and each other."
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
Muri slowly slips from his lost-in-thought, as the monks' speed still impresses him, even now. He brightens when Elen returns, feeling better when he has eyes on everyone.
The halfling proceeds to hang five Amulets of Mighty Fists on Underfoot, one for each paw, and one for her muzzle. He stands back, strangely proud, as if Underfoot has recently been found superior in several categories of a breeding competition. He tops off Underfoot's new look with a monk cloak.
"Never presume to lecture me again.”
Muri looks over his shoulder at the exchange, interested in the facial expressions displayed with the verbals. By the sound of it, there is nothing he feels needs adding to the spicy stew of conversation.
"Speaking of good and bad plans, how about we make sure no one or thing is still lurking about..."
"Yes, let's." The halfling nods vigorously.
When it's clear they're ready to proceed, Muri and Underfoot begin sniffing around for signs of further threats, within the monk's underground facility. While Kamari moves forward down the main hallway, Muri steers through what feels like a mess hall.
”Until you mentioned it right now, I did not know you felt the same way. Good, I wanted to be sure,” Professor nods, finally having heard some agreement. ”You’re hard to read, Night Swan, it’s almost like half the time you’re a completely different person, so it’s nice when you share what is going on.”
"Speaking of good and bad plans, how about we make sure no one or thing is still lurking about. It would really suck to take a blow dart to the neck or something else while we were beating up ourselves and each other."
Professor Kart nods. ”Good and fair enough. If you’re up for it, lead on.”
The Night Swan scowls under her mask. ”I am what—and who—I have to be. You are not the easiest to read yourself, Major. If you want to know my mind, ask. I would rather that instead of you playing the role of the stern father. I have gotten this far in life without one and I do not desire one now.” She follows after Muri and Kamari.
Elen returns to the group.
"There's an invisible snake like thing that made it's way out of the clear water cistern into a sludgy lake to the east... if we check that out will should consider protecting ourselves from disease."
She holds up a potion of anti-plague. "There's enough to go around."
Muri moves into the dining hall and onto the kitchen. WIth time to hunt about, the valuables (link) are collected. Muri finds nothing particularly new in his tour.
Kamari checks out the library. A small thing, with scrolls and books on history, medicine, and philosophy. Also recipes for preparing intelligent creatures (cannibalism) as well as quite a bit of erotica. There are a few books you might take for your own library, but mostly it’s fairly common stuff. As damp as it is down here, the books aren’t in great shape either so you probably leave it well alone.
There is naught left, but the door, or the snake-like pursuit. Also I assume those of you who had it, applied the disease protection before entering the sewers. It lasts a while, so it's still working - probably for another half hour or so.
Kamari moves up to the door and waits for the others.
Muri and Underfoot catch up to the swordswoman, and wait to see which way they're slated to go. The halfling feels like a monastery such as this should have something interesting to connect them with Milon, but they've not turned up anything in this construction which ties the elf back to the rakshasa.
Muri spends not a little amount of time getting Underfoot to take her medicine.
