”Help me out Hookshanks. Do something.”

Giggles pauses for a moment while Hookshanks makes his move, then he attempts to move around the large vat, pulling out a potion and drinking it.

Nighty night: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

Taking Fausts words, Behset will launch herself up and tear around the corner, accepting any attacks of opportunity from the bowman, and fly into the room where she can spread her wings. Soaring over the edge of the stairs and pulling up in the air behind Tenseis right side, her wings will flare with spectral flame as she unleashes her torrent of spirit magic flame past Tensei to engulf both the gnome and orc.

Hue lashes out with his gauntleted fist again as Giggles leaves himself open for an attack.

Missing, he draws an arrow and sends it after Giggles as he moves away.

17/20 arrows

Hue makes an attempt to bash the villain as he steps away, but his injuries are dulling his reflexes

The two enemies glare are the flying being before them, both managing to escape the brunt of the flames, with the smaller one seeming to call upon luck to avoid them completely. While Hue Ma’an launches an arrow, sinking it into the boxes nearby.

Shortbow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 91d6 ⇒ 6

Behset silently curses herself for not preparing a cure spell, and instead invoked dark words in an attempt to bane both foes.
She will then retreat to alight on the stairs overlooking the gnome.

”Let me go or you’ll be sorry.”. The man calls over his shoulder to the deafened catfolk.

Hookshanks takes a defensive step closer to Hue and swings his kukri though the darkness makes it difficult for his attack to connect. Giggles raises his bow again, but does not yet fire the arrow.

Melee vs Hue: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Slashing damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Piercing Danage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Meanwhile, Hue shifts to a better position and escapes the gnome temporarily, but his bow becomes tangled in the hammocks and he shoots wide of the crazed half-orc.

On the boat, the frantic man steps inside the doorway of the boat and closes the door.

23 Faust, Deafened
15 Hookshanks
19 Giggles, -12HP
10 Behset, -10HP, dying
4 Tensei,-6HP -6NL, unconscious

Faust just growls and starts to head back to check on everyone.

Giggles sneers at Hue. ”Give it up darkling. Your fight is at an end.”. He points his bow at the fetchling, but does not fire. Hookshanks walks forward and holds out his hands indicating that Hue should hand over the bow.

Hue takes five foot guarded step then jumps into the water and tries to swim for safety.
Swim: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5

Splashing into the chilly waters, you flounder a bit, but the ground is close enough that you are able to step slowly on the slick surfaces hidden in the depths.

Faust comes into the room and sees 2 of group on the ground and his friend Hue no where in site. He jumps down right in front of the gnome.

Acro: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Acro Reroll: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Faust after landing on his ass will stand up.

labels got messed up around rounds 6/7. End of round 9, Behset is unable to stabilize and takes another point of damage as she lies bleeding on the floor. Start of round 10, Hue steps off into the water below and Faust comes bursting into the room... to land hard on the slick floor Fall damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6.

As the catfolk goes to stand, the gnome swings his cruel blade.

Melee attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

19 Giggles, -12HP
15 Hookshanks
10 Behset, -11HP, dying
4 Tensei, -6HP, -6NL, unconscious

You catch a glimpse of a dark shadow as if flits into the room and in a flash, the pointy end of a rapier is sticking out of the front of Giggles, who immediately stops his mocking laughter and slumps forward onto the floor.

Alerted to the sudden lack of his signature laugh, Hookshanks attempts to run out of the room, withdrawing from combat.

Need another Stablization check from Behset, then Hue and Faust you are up.

Parry: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Having an almost supernatural feeling something drastic changed in room after jumping in the water, Hue risks a peek before going under completely.

Pulling a dagger, the dark clad figure speaks. "Stay where you are scum. Where is Lamm?"

The gnome squeaks out an answer. "He's below! I just work here eh? Look, I won't be any trouble, just let me go."

The hooded figured sheathes his rapier and pulls a wand as he kneels near Tensei.

"This your handiwork?"

Hookshanks, "No no, the big one, he hit him with that flail. I was just trying to leave when these people attac..." His words are cut short as the dagger flies across the room and slams into the gnomes chest.

One by one the dark figure taps the heroes with the wand and their wounds stitch closed, leaving them gasping in shock, but alive.

He steps to the side as if listening for something, while you can all take a moment to compose yourselves.

Hue thinks hes seen this figure, or maybe heard of them before.
knowledge local: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

The figure standing in the room bears a remarkable likeness to Blackjack, the fabled Vigilante of Korvosa, but no one has seen or heard of Blackjack doing anything for years now.

Blackjack... I'm coming out of the water with my hands up... I'm not with Lamm. Those are my friends you just saved.

Hue tosses his bow out in the floor and the climbs out slowly, with his hands out and visible.

Tensei finally awake and startled at being back from the grips of health. Tensei jumps to his feet and looks to hue. what has happened? Who is this blackjack guy

The figure wipes his dagger off and tucks it back away.

"Someone that has grown tired of Lamm and his predilections for the weak in this city. There is an ill wind blowing, and someone like him will only grow stronger in its wake. It was time he was removed from this plane."

if it is still needed

con: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

Behset will come to conscious and begrudgingly look around.

Faust jumps up almost shocked at what happened, see the new face and realizing that he saved and healed us. Faust looks at him and says THANK YOU VERY MUCH WHOEVER YOU ARE. MY NAME IS FAUST, WOW AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS RINGING IN HIS EARS.

Hue will pick through the bodies, claiming Giggle's bow for himself, and sharing whatever else he finds with his compatriots.

Holding up a hand at the shouting, Blackjack puts a finger to his lips indicating silence. He tips his head to the side and continues listening. Seconds later you all hear an explosion in the distance.

"What in the nine hells?"

The man sprints up the stairs and heads towards the door.

Faust will look at Hue and motion that I can't hear anything and shrug his shoulders then will go over to the Gnome and go through his pockets

Looting the body of the gnome (and we'll say half-orc now too), Faust find a suit of studded leather armor (small), a masterwork kukri (small), a disguise kit, a key, and 7 gp. On the half-orc, 2 potions of cure light wounds, chainmail, composite longbow (str +3), 17 arrows, flail, and 72gp.

After Faust grabs the stuff, he is going to hear towards were the other man went.

Behset will pocket the kukri if no one objects and follow Black Jack curiously.

After taking a few practice draws on the Composite bow, realizing it was meant for someone stronger than him, he tosses it to Tensei. Here... He does replenish his arrows as he watches Faist run off. Wheres he going now?

Back out on the street, flames can be seen in the distance. The man in black turns towards the gathered heroes.

”This is unfortunate timing. Something even bigger is afoot, I need to see if I can help. You were attacking Lamm?”. He looks each of you over in turn.

”You seem capable and determined. He is getting older, and likely has some tricks up his sleeve, here, take this and end him.”

He hands over a wand (Cure Light Wounds, CL3, with 7 charges) and then dashes off towards the burning building in the distance.

Faust looks around very confused and not understanding anything he is saying. As he takes the wand, Faust says THANK YOU FOR HELPING, WE GOT IT FROM HERE. Looking back at the group. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THIS IS?

Tensei will take the bow from hue, thank you. This will come in handy though I'm not great with archery it's best to have options .

Let me see that wand spellcraft: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

I believe it is best to take some time to get to know each other and how we fight so that we are better prepared for next time. We let our rage towards lamm trick us into a false sense of courage and preparedness and rushed into a fight we were not ready for. Let us talk and discuss our strengths and take down Lamm together. It seems we are in this for the long hall.

Tensei identifying the wand this is a wand of cure light wounds. A low level caster has made this but it will come in handy for the trials we have set before us
