Perla and Shadow move in, with her taking a spot near a door, with Perla and Shadow going after the Red tiefling. The ranger following her moves in as well, but is unable to shoot.
Perla, Shadow, and a ranger begin crowding the room. Perla hits once, and Shadow bites once.

Tabil walks up to Merlin, does a quick chiropractor of his back and leaves the room.
The mongrel archer positions himself and fires two arrows.
Solras takes a shot at Red.
Tabil does a spinal adjustment on Merlin and vacates the room.
Solras takes a shot at red that clatters off the wall.
Irabeth will stride twice into the room, and Touch Merlin with her healing hands.
The alchemist, seeing Irabeth so central to the group, throws three bombs right at her.
While all three miss, she and everyone around her take poison splash damage from the second and the third.

Merlin nods in gratitude to Tabil. The Marshall smiles sweetly at Irabeth. The Fighter points at the Alchemist.
We have a date!
Avenger restarts his aura and stabs deeply at blue.
Avenger nearly kills the blue cultist.

With the cutlist having not moved, Perla targets one as her prey, and takes
the time to shoot him with a solid aim, and have Shadow attack twice. She would then have the archer also attack 3 times, hoping to end the threat of the red one.
Merlin licks his lips, as he Raises his Shield, Strides to be next to his Alchemist buddy and Strikes!
The frowning Fighter begins searching his pockets for a Four-Leaf Clover.....
Krakas will continue to support Merlin fighting the alchemist, looking around, "where that mace go, I'd love to throw next,"
He'll suffice for some other debris to launch.
Perla hunts the red cultist, and hits him once. A ranger hits also.
Merlin strides up to the Alchemist.
Krakas telekinetically throws some of the shards of the bombs the alchemist has been throwing, hitting the alchemist.
Taking a cue from Merlin, Irabeth strides to flank the alchemist. She then killing him and making him off guard until the start of Irabeth's turn. Then, Irabeth will raise her shield.

Tabil walks into the room, pops one arrow at one of the cambions (blue), and walks back out.
Attack 9 + 11 = 20
Merlin looks down at the Dying, Frightened Alchemist cultist. He smiles.
Good luck making that Flat check.
Tabil will pop into the room, Shoot at the Blue cultist, killing him, even through the crowd.
The ranger goes into the room, and sends a couple of arrows clattering off the back wall.

Shortly after the end of combat, you begin noticing the soft glow of the outline of a door to South at the west end of the room.
Avenger restores his armor, replacing his shield with a new one. He will also begin handing out fruits of life.
Avenger restores his armor, replacing his shield with a new one. He will also begin handing out fruits of life.
Krakas dusts himself off, looking around, "I'm saddened to see so many Tieflings, shame that alchemist decided to put his intelligence to poor use,"
Krakas rifles through the alchemists pockets, searching him for anything worth while.
Before long, he stands up to take in the glowing door, "I mean, glowing is usually a good thing, right? Must be something good behind that door,"
"I'm not sure why this is a concern, Sayyid Krakas." Tabil raises an eyebrow. "Noone is incorruptible. Especially when it comes to cambions. No offense. You should strive to mend that reputation instead."
Merlin drinks a couple of Healing Potions, as the others quickly eat provided fruit.
Licking his lips, he Raises his Shield and prepares to open the glowing door....
After passing out the fruits, multiple times if neeeded, he picks up the Aeon stone to examine it. "If nobody minds, I'd like this one."
After being healed up, the party opens the door with the softly-glowing outline.
This small chamber is free of dust. A holy symbol of Iomedae hangs unmolested on the wall above a weapon rack filled with swords, crossbows, and spears. Three wooden dummies wear pristine suits of armor. A shelf holds several leather quivers, each stamped with a golden sun. Two silver shields hang from pegs on the wall.
To identify each the magic items here will take ten-minute attempts at identification. You may use any magic tradition. Different folk may make the attempt on a different item to attempt to save time.
Additionally, in this hidden armory you find:
Three cold iron longswords
Two cold iron shortswords
Two heavy crossbows
A composite longbow
Two cold iron longspears
50 cold iron tipped crossbow bolts
100 cold iron tipped arrows.

Krakas' eyes flare with detect magic, "So many historical holy artifacts, let's get to work," He rushes from item to item, holding it, spinning it around, tinkering with magic command words, before setting them down and moving onto the next.
Speaking in a blur as he moves from item to item, "This here is a a +1 Cold Iron Morningstar, +1 Striking Longsword, these are five holy arrows, I don't know what this arrow is, or what this breastplate does, but this is a +1 steel shield and this one is a better +1 steel shield, its got the reinforcing lesser rune!"
Merlin begins to salivate once Krakas announces the +1 Steel Shield with reinforcing rune!
" It seems my kin did not disturb those items, and perhaps with good reason. These are holy items surely, are we worthy enough to touch them? Lest we taint them, for clearly... we are not far from the abyss if all it took for this many to betray others was a few demons..." Perla remarks sadly, still trying to come to terms with the fact very few tieflings they met seemed to be good or honest. What made her different really?
"Eh, We're trying to protect the people still alive and fighting demonic forces," he says as he pats Perla on the back. "I think the gods will understand."
You still have some items to identify. Of course, you could just carry them along, and let Krakas try again tomorrow.
A +1 Striking Fiend Bloodbane Arrow
A +1 Breastplate
Two Cold Iron Chainmail
After looting taking advantage of the hidden armory, you investigate the Priest's Chambers (P9).
A long table and six chairs have been pushed against the western wall. On the opposite wall, a tapestry depicting a map of Mendev hangs from a silver rod — the tapestry has been slashed several times and splashed with filth. A bedroll sits on the floor, and on the nearby table is an array of alchemical devices and a long wooden sword case wrapped with cords, as if ready for travel.
A good guess is that this is the room that the alchemist was using.
The alchemical equipment on the table consists of an Alchemist's Lab (Expanded).
Inside the plain-looking swordcase is a +1, Striking, Holy, Demon Bane longsword.
Irabeth is shocked when she sees it. She explains, "That... That is my father's sword. I recently sold it to buy a present for Anevia. I would love to have it back, but, I will understand if you need it."
Additionally, there is a note attached to the sword:
***** Note on Irabeth's father's sword *****
Lord Staunton,
I believe you will find the enclosed
weapon to be a singular and familiar delight,
for it once belonged to your old “friend”
Irabeth. She sold it to Kandro Nyserian, of
all people — I’ve no idea why. Kandro’s been
sitting on it for years — still would be,
except his home got smashed by an ulkreth.
Shame.
He managed to save the sword and
came here, begging for an escort north to
Drezen, doubtless so he could give you the
sword and weasel some cash to help him set
up a new home. I hope you don’t begrudge a
creativity I took — our friend Nyserian serves
now as a warm suit for a vermlek as punishment
for only revealing the sword now instead of
when he first acquired it. I suspect the blade
will take to your brother’s touch nicely!
your loyal servant,
Othirubo
***** *****
You're still on the first floor, and the only room you have not cleared is P6, the room that was locked.
Once you've geared up, let me know how you will approach that room.
Merlin personally hands over the longsword to Irabeth. The Fighter does strap the magical reinforced shield onto his arm before preparing to break down the remaining locked door.....
" I would say none of us would take that sword from you. It is yours to use, and yours to help lead those survivors into safety. Unlike some of us, you still have hope." Perla would then look to the locked room, and trying to figure out how to best open it. She had busted the last lockpicks she had.
As somebody who grew much or their own equipment, he usually doesn't pay much attention when people are talking about swords and shields. But there was more emotion in her voice on this one. "It's a family legacy, so I'm good with that."
Krakas offers up his Thieves tool, "Here Perla, let's work together and see if we can open it, if this doesn't work, I'll try with magic next,"
Perla tries her best to open the locked door with the borrowed tools, hoping to not break them like she did hers.
Perla successfully unlocks the door, and as it swings open two creatures have their prepared attacks against Perla.
The red demon just barely bites Perla damage.

Perla scrambles backwards as far as she can, and levels her bow at the opponent directly in front of the door.
Merlin looks excited to see the demon filth!
The Fighter then Raises his Shield and sighs.
I really need to learn how to Barreling Charge soon!
Merlin shrugs and he attempts to Tumble Through the Red demon filth!
Yuppers. Not really my niche.
As Perla moves back, Avenger will step up.
He notices that the shield on his arm. It is not broken, as he regrew it several posts ago between encounters.
Finally, he sprays the demons with splinters, hoping to weaken them with bleed.
Perla moves away, gets out her bow, but misses.
Merlin inspires everyone, gets his shield ready, and... ufff - gets blocked by a demon.
Avenger of the Green regrew his shield, steps up and sprays the demons with wood chips.

The ranger locks eyes with the nearest demon, and fires two arrows at the creature in the door, then switches positions with Tabil. The Qadiran man calculates the shot and releases an arrow at the same creature.
Strike: 17 + 11 + 1 = 29 (Potentially has cover. Deduct as needed)
The ranger flubs his shots, but does get out of the way so Tabil can get up close.
Tabil looks at how the demon is standing, and strikes the demon critically.
The Green Demon looks around lackadaisically and piercing damage.
The Blue demon casts at Tabil

Krakas, jostling with the others, casts a spell, Electric Arc on red and green, then moves out of the room to provide space for the others to get an angle.
"Its like a party, no room to move at all,"
Tabil becomes Frightened 1 from the Fear spell.
Both of the demons that Krakas targets take electricity damage, and the Red Demon dies.

Avenger takes advantage of red falling to scoot into the room.
He will then continue to pummel green.
With two blasts, Avenger of the Green destroys the Green Demon.
