Aeric puts his head on a swivel, sniffing and listening to see where they went. He dips his hand into his medicine gear and slaps a few herbs on the stab and then raises his buckler.
Reaction: Retributive Strike

●Seek 15ft burst with +5 perception
●Everstand Stance
●Raise Shield for 21 AC, Shield Block active.
Rocky is bolstered against some damage in the dark. Towerr swings at where he thinks the attack came from but doesn't make contact with anything.
Hoping the 2 enemies did not move, Roscoe will cast Rejuvenating Flames at his allies and hopefully enemies, then he will Stride back a bit.
◆◆Rejuvenating Flames
◆Stride
Rocky will attack at the last space that green was at with a flurry of blows.
◆
Then will attack the last square Red was at with an attack
◆
Then will move in the direction that Roscoe was last at.
◆Stride
Roscoe uses the power of his bloodline to simultaneously heal his allies and hopefully hurt his enemies. Rocky feels the positive energy and there is a wince of pain from the dark.
Rocky swings wildly in the dark but doesn't connect with anything then moves back from wence she came.
Rocky fights off the effects of the poison.
Aeric also successfully reduced his poison to stage 1 on his turn, but takes damage and remains Enfeebled 1.

◆ Parry (+1 ac)
◆ Stride 2 spaces south.
Mason draws a weapon and takes a defensive posture. He moves to the south finding himself just as blind as he was before.
The agents hear the scuffle of foot steps as they each move about in the dark. Aeric hears a swoosh of fabric and the scrabble of dust on the floor as someone moves past him.
Towerr hears Aerics wince of pain and instinctively reacts with his Retributive Strike. Aeric is bolstered against some damage but Towerr fails to connect to the one who inflicted it.

Green (-12hp?)

Mason (-8hp)

we do not want to fight. Why are you attacking us? Is there a way we can just talk this out.
Some words are exchanged in a language the agents don't understand.
"You're with the rats! They trapped us down here and you all want to steal what's ours off our corpses!" in common.
No we are not with the ratfolk. They told us some people were in here and they left so we came in as fast as we could wanting to help.
"We are fighting for our lives and you come down here and blind us with your bright light! We want to leave and you're in the way! Move out into the open and clear the stairs! Then don't follow us or you'll get more of the same!" in common, threateningly.
OK that's fine by me. Can you get rid of this darkness so we can see where we are going and we will move out of the way.
"No... the darkness stays until we are gone. You can navigate well enough. We have seen it." in common.
That's fine then, we will step to the side and then you can go on your way since the door is open now.
Roscoe will step to the side and suggest Rocky and Towerr to do the same.
Aeric grabs more supplies from his pack to try and draw the poison from his wound. Grimacing, he pulls an elixir from his pack an quickly chugs it.
Not feeling good, but unless stabbed again, should be fine.
Aeric saves againstnthe poison and stops actively dying. Now he's just passively dying like everyone else.
Mason will parry again and ready an action to stride south if struck again.
Rocky will honor the deal and step aside
Towerr will step to the side.
Towerr, then Rocky, and finally Roscoe feel the two assailants slip past them in the darkness. The agents can hear the sound of the iron door shutting. A few seconds after that the darkness dissipates and the space is once again illuminated by Towerr's everburning torch.

After they leave Roscoe will move into the room, Ok this is going to take some time to heal so I can start on Rocky and then Aeric your next. Roscoe will try to Treat wounds to Rocky and regain his focus point in the process. Then after will use Rejuvenating Flames on the group.
Rejuvenating Flames
Then Roscoe will try to treat wounds on Aeric while he regains focus then will use Rejuvenating Flames on the group
Rejuvenating Flames
Rocky and Towerr can use their Lay on Hands when I am treating wounds and then we can all be fully healed and have all our focus points.
Roscoe will then look in the door he is in front of. Then if there is nothing there suggest to move on to the south.
Roscoe finds nothing interesting or noteworthy in the rooms to the east.
The agents continue south.
The ceiling in this part of the cavern soars up almost twenty feet. Tunnels exit to the north and east. To the southwest, near the ruins of a sunken building, a third passage was clearly once walled shut with white bricks, but the bricks have been removed from the middle to create a narrow pathway. A small bundle of dark rags lies in the center of the floor near the mangled corpse of what looks like a fiendish severed head with bat wings.
Be careful guys, remember what they said about flying creatures.
Let us hope my light will be of use this time and that maybe these flying creatures will we sensitive to the light.
"Let's just focus in on getting to where we're going."
Mason keeps brushing off dirt and debris from his nice clothes, trying his best to keep them fresh in this place.
Aeric moves up the stairway, hugging the wall. Trying to get a better look at the creature. Hoping you can get a better view and clear sight lines from the elevation.
Two creatures, resembling the one seen on the floor, drop out of the stalactites above the agents and attack.
Red swoops towards down and shrieks.
Mason and Aeric maintain their composure. Everyone else is paralyzed with fright for 3 rounds

Mason pulls his pistol and tries to assess the monsters, before firing.
◆ Interact (draw pistol)

◇ Known Weakness (Recall Knowledge, Arcana +8T)
Not confident in his plan of action, Mason readjusts his target to Green.
◆
Oh boy. Aeric tries his best to tumble through Green and strike out at the underside. But instead, he picks himself off the ground and raises his shield.
Roscoe will cast a spell at both of Red and Green then move over by Aeric.
◆◆Electric Arc
◆Stride
Mason doesn't recall any info on the strange bat like creatures but that doesn't stop him from shooting Green.
Aeric has a tough time but maintains his dignity at least.
Both creatures are nimble and are able to dodge about half the damage from Roscoe's spell.
Red flaps over to the source of the loud concussive damage to its friend and lashes out with its fangs at Mason.
Kiss [one-action] The vargouille kisses an adjacent creature that’s asleep, paralyzed, or unconscious, exposing it to the vargouille transformation disease.
Vargouille Transformation (disease) Exposing the victim to sunlight or any light spell of 3rd level or higher pauses the progression of the disease until the victim is no longer in light. Saving Throw DC 18 Fortitude; Stage 1 carrier with no effect (1d6 hours); Stage 2 victim’s hair falls out (1d6 hours); Stage 3 victim’s ears grow into leathery wings, tentacles sprout on the chin and scalp, and the teeth become long, pointed fangs (1 day); Stage 4 victim’s mind regresses to a vicious and unintelligent shell of its former self (1d6 hours); Stage 5 victim’s head breaks free of the body (which dies) and becomes a new vargouille
Vargouille Venom (poison) Saving Throw DC 18 Fortitude; Stage 1 Damage the victim has taken from vargouille fangs can’t be healed magically. Once all vargouille fang damage has been healed nonmagically, the poison ends.
Green takes off after Roscoe and does the same.

Aeric takes his time and steps over to flank Green. Then he tries to stab a few times.
Roscoe will think about what these creatures are and then attack Green in Flank.
◆Recall Knowledge +7 Religion
◆◆Gouging Claw

Roscoe isn't sure what the creatures are. He still lands a claw attack due to the creatures distraction.

Aeric[/b]
Roscoe will look and use Rejuvenating Flames to hit Green and Mason then move closer, then give Mason Guidance. Mason come over here, I will heal you.
◆◆Rejuvenating Flames
◆Guidance
Aeric grows more concerned as the rest of the group is still not moving. He starts slashing wildly.
Even minimum damage from Roscoe's flames is enough to bring down Green. The flames seem to have no effect on Mason's injuries however.
Mason reload and moves away a bit, leaving room for someone else to step in, then tries to yell at that flapping creature.
◆ Interact (reload)
◆ Stride
◆ Demoralize?
Aeric moves to a more advantageous spot and stabs the bat-thing.
Mason reloads his pistol, backs up, and shows the bat-thing his war face. It appears off put by the naked display of aggression.
Red turns its attention to the new assailant.
