"Such arrogance! You come into our home. Kill without mercy, and get upset that we have plans to make the world safe for ourselves? What a mirror you must see, looking at me."
We were compelled to investigate this place based on events that have taken place in the area recently. Death has converged on us rather eagerly here. As I don't have my own stronghold to scheme in, none of this looks like a reflection.
Elo un-tenses a bit and gets back to his most recent cigar. With how things are going he's happy to let the jackals make the first move or continue reveal more about themselves.

"So your plans are to live here in peace with the local communities of humans, elves, kobolds, and other peoples?" Bwessara sounds incredulous. "Folllowers of Lamashtu are well known as peace-seekers," she adds sarcastically.

"With respect Lady Bwessara, we are, in fact, all just standing around chatting; it could be that Lamashtu has added some semblance of civilization to her portfolio and it simply isn't well known. What a great thing!"
"The Elf begins to understand. But too little, too late. Looks
like my friends are growing tired of this talk. Shall we commence? It is what all of us do so well, after all." The Jackal nods to the other, who raise weapons and prepare to attack.

Is anyone on discord?

yeah same. Either their security model has changed or else I'm used to finding people I already share servers with. I can send you an invite to my personal one (or else you can join one of the major ttrpg servers, rollforcombat, pathfinder organized play online, cayden's keg, find the path).

As you watch on in horor, the Jackal opens it's third eye, and with it stares at Bwess. As it does so, her conviction drains away. At the same time she feels as though her motor functions are somehow failng. It takes a concerted effort, but Bwess throws off te effect, and the Jackal growls in frustration.

Qrik decides that he needs to take down the big fella.
ATK/DMG @ OGRE
Elo pours rays of flame at teh ogre, and Cev launches a projectile at it, the rock slamming into it's head. It roars in outrage and pain, and staggers back a step, then launches forward at Qrik.
It swings it's massive axe back and forth, hitting the Kobald in the side.

Elo sighs at their hostility and casts Magic Missile.
Bwessara pushes against the doubt, the loss of conviction, that sprouted within her mind and even muscles. She feels a seed of it lingering, but cracks her whip as the ogre falls from Elo's arcane spell. Deciding to attack her opponent's mind, she casts a spell to daze into her whip and attacks the bugbear at the top of the steps. Expecting two enemies to maybe flank her, she shifts her shield to cover more of her torso.
Elo fires off three bolts of force, the first slams into the Ogre and with a suprisingly quiet "oof" it's eyes roll back and it thuds to the ground dead.
The second two shots swerve around Bwess and strike the Bugbear illicitng a hiss but not really slowing it.
Bwess stikes her whip and with it a spell that attacks the bugbears mind. It wriths in agony, but stays standing.
Meanwhile the Jackal continues to maintain eye contact with Bwess, as it does so it begins to chuckle under it's breath. A strange mirth begins to overcome her, which trie as she might she cannot suppress. The laughter that occasionally birsts from her, and the fight to contain her, slow her movements.
Qrik focuses on the strange Jackal and sends a barrage of missiles at it.

Another sling bullet flies from Cev, this time at the bugbear
ATK/DMG @ OGRE
Qrik's magic missiles again fly,this time striking the Bugbear. They hit, but don't quite manage to take it out though. Cev's projectile bounces off te bugbears armour.
Bwessara's laughter bursts forth again. Tears well in her eyes. She exhales trying to regain her composure. Quickly she uses a magus spell combing offensive and defensive capabilities. A whip attack towards the bugbear. She hesitates uncertain where to move then laughs again. What's making me laugh? Is it a spell? she thinks her mind racing through the arcana lore she knows, hoping to remember a counter to this laughter.

Elo moves further into the room...
Reaches into his belt pouch for a poison bomb...
and lobs it at the bugbear by the altar.
The Bugbear steps fardard and attempts to grapple Bwess, it's clumsy attempt is easily evaded though so it attempts to strike with it's sword instead and fails to connect there too.
The Jackal continues to stair at Bwess with it's wierd third eye, but also casts a spell at Cev. Hideous black tenticles spring from it's craw and dart out at Cev, striking through him, into the wal behind.

Elo grumbles through his cigar at his own aim the last go-around.
C'mon, you can do better than that! he chides himself silently.
His friends are now too close to the bugbear to avoid getting poisonous splash on them, so he strides to the center of the room. It puts the jackal within the reach of his bombs...
Qrik moves closer and then sends an electrical arc between the bug bear and jackal.

Even with her body feeling less responsive and slower, she is still able to avoid the bugbear's attacks. Fire, she thinks and begins another attack weaving arcane energies into her whip. She whispers the syllables, producing a small ball of fire on the tip of her whip. Pivoting on her foot, she attempts to lash the bugbear.
ATK/DMG @ BB
Qrik's lightning causes the Bugbear to scream in agony, but the jackal shakes it off as if it's nothing. Cev's thrown stone flies at the bugbear, but fails to make contact. Bwess steps up and strikes out with her magically enhansed whip, cracking the bugbear under the jaw and taking it down once and for all. Flames lick over the body for a few moments. Elo's bomb flies true, but the Jackal steps easily out f the foul cloud.
It's third eye still focused on Bwess, the other two look you over in disdain. "More of my loyal followers dead. How very, heroic of you. It then moves. In the blink of an eye it's on Cev, and biting. It's jaws lock on an arm and savage it as it pulls him to the ground.
Bwessara's eyes widen at the fury displayed by the jackal as it thrashes Cev by the arm. "Well I never said we were heroes," the elf replies. She exhales calmly for a moment, trying to decide on the best tactics for the situation. Stretching her arm back she uses her hips to power her whip when she attacks the jackal.

Elo heads up onto the platform and throws out his clawed hands towards the jackal, releasing an arc of lightning.
Qrik spends all of his energy sending three magical darts to strike the jackal.

Qrik unleashes another volley of missiles, that slam into the jackel inerringly.
Cev crawls away, and heals up a little.
Bwess cracks her whip, a sliver of blood raising in the beast's fur.
Elo again creates electricity from nothing, but the beast dodges the worst of the blast.
"You fall so easily. Beg and I may let you live..." The jackel moves farward and this time snaps out at Bwess. Biting her savagely, and bringing her down.
