Mimi joins them and pokes White with her rapier twice, bringing the ambusher down. From out of nowhere, Yellow throws a shroud of magical darkness near the entrance, bringing Black, Dennis, Mimi, and Iltag inside it. Yellow takes this chance to throw their aklys at Dennis, being the closest to them.
bludgeoning damage
Dennis feels that something hard bonks into his head, not sure where the attack is coming from.
Another from the darkness, an aklys is thrown at Mimi!
It misses, they (that are blinded) can hear the weapon retreating and being thrown again at her!
bludgeoning damage
The head of the tethered club hits Mimi this time.

Tiger lights his wayfinder and drops into a stance. He then gets himself ready on the table, thinking that joining them inside the blob of darkness would be useless, at least for now he can give light for himself and the others.
Alvin and his legchair join the others that are inside the darkness blob. He then shoots at Yellow, hitting them .
The fight goes on while somebody stealthily moves that they do not notice.

Rufus growls and leaps to attack.

Gravely injured and lost in the dark, Dennis tries not to cry. When he hears Zaza chant and dispel the darkness, the youngster smiles and breathes easier, "Hey Zaza! Thanks! You're the best!" The injured fighter quickly draws a potion from his bandolier and drinks it down.
Then, seeing his previous attacker still standing beside him, Dennis takes advantage of the flanking position with Rufus. He declares, "You're a bad man!" and stabs twice with his halberd.
Zaza effectively counteracts the Darkness spell effect, revealing those inside it with the light from sunrod and wayfinder of Iltag and Loong, respectively. She then moves as well as her companion Rufus.
Thanks to Zaza, Dennis will not be crying, for now. He quickly draws his potion to heal himself and continues stabbing Black.
The gods are in favor of Dennis, his first attack is enough to bring Black to their demise.
"Oh, I almost forgot!" Alyreha exclaims, and with some blabbing and jumping, the talking skull casts Blur for everyone.

The gods are in favor of Dennis, his first attack is enough to bring Black to their demise. You can have your one action back.
At Zaza's comment, Dennis turns to the half-orc and laughs. "You're funny, Zaza." With no other enemy within his extraordinary reach, Dennis activates his official Pathfinder Society wayfinder to generate light in a 20' radius. Then he waits for more bad people to get close enough to skewer.

Iltag’s face shows no reaction as more magic sticks to his skin and sinks into his pores. Instead he walks briskly into the room and assesses the situation.
With calculated precision, his whip catches the attacker’s ankle and pulls them off balance with exactly enough force to send them to the floor.
His face continues to show no reaction as his pullback nearly hits him in the face rather than his opponent.
Dennis lights up his wayfinder as well. Iltag gets into the chamber and then trips Pink/Fuchsia with his whip as he brings them into the light. And yeah, he almost hit himself rather than the enemy with his whip attack. The enemy also takes bludgeoning damage from falling prone.

Mimi stands in the darkness listening to what's going on around her but not being able to see a thing. She's wondering what to do next when suddenly the light returns. After a quick scan of the area, she decides to skip past Dennis, duck under the now dim creature being attacked by Rufus, and then stick her rapier into it a couple of times before preparing herself for a counterattack.
Trigger A foe within your reach critically fails a Strike against you.
You take advantage of an opening from your enemy's fumbled attack. You either make a melee Strike against the triggering foe or attempt to Disarm it of the weapon it used for the Strike.
Mimi flawlessly tumbles behind Yellow, piercing the flatfooted enemy, followed by another graceful finisher that impales Yellow fatally. Purple stands up and pulls their aklys back and throws it at Iltag!
Loong rushes to Dennis for medical aid, restoring his vitality fully. He might feel being young again. He then head towards Purple.

Seriously wounded, Dennis announces to no one in particular, "Fighting is fun. But it hurts! Owwwww!" While he's trying to hold back tears, Doctor Tiger comes to his rescue with some in-battle healing. "Wow! Thanks Doc! You're the best." He quickly adds, "I mean, you and Zaza are both the best." Poor Dennis is not clever enough to understand the incongruity of two people being the best.
Feeling 100% healthy again, the fighter moves closer to the near enemy . Taking advantage of True Target and the prone enemy, Dennis stabs with his halberd.
If the enemy is still standing, Dennis attacks a second time.
Quite certain his second attack skewered the enemy through its eye, Dennis moves into the next room and looks for an opportunity to attack the remaining one. He places himself directly between the the enemy and his friend Zaza.
Dennis moves and pokes Purple, hitting on both instances, the last one straight to their heart, if you may.

Mimi nods her thanks to Tiger when he patches her up. She then scans the big circular room but doesn't see any more of the enemy. Glancing out the door, she sees Dennis in a fight and quickly leaves the room to see what's going on. Once outside, she spots the dim figure of an enemy to the South. Ducking past Dennis and the creature to get into flanking position, she shoves her rapier in deep before whipping it out and preparing herself for a counterattack.
Trigger A foe within your reach critically fails a Strike against you.
You take advantage of an opening from your enemy's fumbled attack. You either make a melee Strike against the triggering foe or attempt to Disarm it of the weapon it used for the Strike.
"Woof." Rufus chuffs in acknowledgement and rushes towards a new target.
Tiger quickly patches Mimi with much-needed healing and readies a Strike for the enemy. The enemy gets surprised by Mimi as she gets close forward and tumbles through behind Blue, and pierces the enemy with his poking weapon. Zaza commands Rufus to bring an end to the enemy, which the dog did with his fatal biting and tearing.
Sebnet quickly regains consciousness and rejoins them. "I hope everyone is alright. But can you please help me repair some damages here?" Sebnet puts them to work repairing damage to Nexus House. Keryn and company, the gang that they meet and befriended at Scorpia Grotto, come to lend a hand. "We heard a loud noise. What happened here?"
|
|
Mimi puts her rapier away and brushes a little lint off her otherwise intact body. When Keryn shows up and wonders what happened, Mimi replies. "I too vould like un answer to dat question. Ve vere in de middle of breakfast vhen ve vere suddenlee attacked for no apparent raison. Whoever eet vas seemed intent of takeeng possession of vhat ees left of Alyreha." She indicates the skull. "I presume dees ees all de vork of de night 'ag, Aslynn, ve vere varned about, but as none of our assailants remain alive to tell us anytheeng, dees cannot be confirmed."
|
|
When Keryn and his gang join the crowd, Dennis runs over to them, trying not to trip over his halberd. "You missed all the fun! Bad men invaded the house. They made it dark. It was scary. They wanted to steal the cool stuff here. But they're all dead now." He points proudly to his tri-corn hat with the skull badge. "This is my favorite badge!" It's his only one. "C'mon, want a tour?" He happily shows them around, because, frankly, cleaning up sounds a little boring.
"That's weird. And that skull has a name? Huh." Keryn eyes the skull as she recalls Alyreha (as Zykyryz) to be with them during their meeting at the Scorpia's Grotto. "Let's tour around when we finish repairing what can be repaired here." the gang leader assures Dennis. The leader does not buy Alvin's deception when she can recall upon entering the ossuary that he sees Alvin battle-ready.
Once things have calmed down, Sebnet summons the agents to her office, where she awaits them, Sebnet sporting a bump on the back of her head. The vash-vatom posits that in these dangerous times, she needs to put in a request for Toldrar, Head of Security for the Grand Lodge in Absalom, to give Nexus House his “special touch.”
Thank you for learning who the Arclord is as well as her research into the magic of true names." Sebnet expresses her gratitude to them. "I feel mentally fatigued but I am all the more driven to recover my former power." Alyreha tells them.
