Hisaki is miraculuosly unaffected. What is his secret?! Only him could know before he can disappear behind his thicket of knives!
Stinky is not as fast as lightning, it gets toasted to ashes! Mirthal does not know her weakness, have no choice but to invent weakness against her. He misses hitting her as he tries to pull out something from his esoterica.

Amp Your spell cracks the target’s mental defenses, leaving it susceptible to further psychic attack. The spell’s damage changes to 1d10. If the target fails its Will save, until the end of its next turn, it gains weakness 1 to mental damage and takes a -1 status penalty to Will saves.

and with her subconscious mind, emotional acceptance, will heal the hobgoblin for 4 pts of damage.
Askani attempts to penetrate the mind of Aslynn with a more powerful psychic attack.
Aslynn is not bothered at all, untouched mentally. She even gives her a wicked smile, seeming locking Askani as her new target, while Askani heals her ally Hisaki . As Flutters moves closer to the encounter, Xanthe attempts to tumble through but can get to move past her. But that is enough to catch Aslynn off guard with his hatchet attacks that both connects. Meanwhile, Thevenin heals Hisaki with some leaves of perhaps their own.

When they defeat the last of the enemies, moments later, Zarta Dralneen rushes into the vault along with Society leaders Ambrus Valsin, Eando Kline, Eliza Petulengro, Fola Barun, and Calisro Benarry. They look ready to fight, and they’re quite impressed by the agents handling of the situation. The leaders quickly checks that none of them are near death. They gather reports from them, as well as Rain and Biglock.
Zarta turns the chalice over multiple times, trying to see if she can get any of the magic liquid to appear. When everyone has finally gathered for the debrief, she says, “Well, I’m still not sure what this is, but all your reports are consistent. It’s obviously a central piece of Aslynn’s plan. In a way, it’s a good thing that shard of her mind infiltrated our vaults, as it’s allowed us to understand a few things we might have otherwise missed! I wish we could’ve learned about this without putting your lives in danger, and for that, I apologize. I hope you’re ready for more adventures. We’ve just scratched the surface of the vault’s contents, and we need to act fast to learn more about some of these items. One thing is certain: we can’t leave everything here and wait around for Aslynn to strike again.”
The faction leaders quickly fall into a heated discussion over the best approach to the items — it’s clear that they don’t see eye to eye, but they all agree that they’ll need to work together for the sake of the Society’s future! While the Society’s leaders argue, Biglock gives a smug grin to the agents. “Nice work. Hey — Zarta is pretty great. She says Mr. Glovely and I don’t have to stick around this dusty vault! Don’t worry, though. We’ll be in touch. I’ve got a few schemes in mind. When I’m done making arrangements, Mr. Glovely will come calling!”
