updated the map with the Animated Apron and the Cookware Swarms, realized I forgot to place them

After listening to Ayane and Yuranosuke describe what amounts to an intelligent apron, Kwan isn't sure what to think. "So this could be a harmless apron that' come to life. Or, it could be an evil apron. Since every creature that's new to Willowshore has tried to kill us, I think we should expect a fight."

Trying to stay out of sight, Kwan stares at the spectacle. "I don't trust whatever it is. I think it's part of this invasion. Let's confront it." Turning back to the group, he waits to hear differing options.

"Or they're treacherous tools that rose up against their owners when the supernatural flooded into Willowshore," Yuranosuke adds grimly. "I don't trust them either, especially since they're between us and Granny Hu's abode. Let us prevent them from harming any innocents that might wander into their path."

Stealth (for initiative?): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

I'm back. I assume everyone is at or near full health?

As quietly as possible, Xu Jiang casts Runic Weapon on Phang Kwan and Spirit Link on Yuranosuke.

Yeah we fully healed up while you were gone, I'll go ahead and roll initative, assuming y'all are gonna be trying to sneak up on the swarms, though it is in the middle of the town square, stealthing up to their cantankerous parade will be difficult

Casting spells to embolden the Party, you guys burst out of the imperial guardhouse, ready to destroy these animated spirits. The Blood Apron twirls, a cruel angry face made in the folds of the Apron, a mouth of cloth animating, "Oh ho ho ho some guards still have some fight in them? I thought you were all dying by now, you've chosen to offer yourself to slaughter early!"

Yuranosuke, I stand corrected, you were able to sneak up on them in the broad daylight

I am still here. I just didn't want her to set off the combat. She isn't the stealthy type in the verbal sense

GM: Would you mind adding the spells and conditions to the Initiative list (e.g., Yuranosuke (Spirit Link) and Phang Kwan (Runic Weapon)) to remind the players (and yourself) what buffs others have given them? Thanks!

As Xu Jiang reaches out and provides Pharasma's might to Kwan's blade, Kwan nods in thanks and bows. "May I put the Lady of Graves blessing to good use."
