--------------------
Ajoran takes a magical leap through physical space to land on the opposite side of the dockmaster-turned-devil. Then, he attempts to dishearten the monster through a silent look of pure malice.
◆◆ casting translocate
◆ Demoralize (Intimidating Glare)
I always try to keep a low profile, but it's always necessary to-
◇ Unleash Psyche
"AAAAAAGH"
Janna's psychic energy explodes all around her as she rushes foward, though despite her aura it's strangely hard to follow her
◆ Sneak
Suddenly she appears as plain as day in the middle of the pier as she summons a bolt of psychic force toward Torvald!
◆◆ Amped Phase Bolt
◆ Sneak
The Sneak would actually only work against creatures you’re hidden to, which is none of them. You would need to take the Hide action to become hidden. Legendary Sneak just means that any clause in Hide and Sneak referring to cover or concealment doesn’t apply to you (and that is VERY significant). So you could Hide right in front of someone and have it work.
Ajoran teleports to Kemp and tries, and fails, to Demoralize him.
Janna moves forward and sends a psychic bolt at Torvald!
Suryo tries to Tumble Through, but Torvald’s tentacles suddenly lash out in an attempt to grab Suryo!
Suryo is wrapped in Kemp’s tentacles, but nevertheless swipes at him! Ajoran then does an Opportune Backstab, then Suryo does a backstab right back but misses.
Yujin tears a claw through the sea serpent and frees herself as she unleashes her Draconic majesty!
Torvald is utterly aghast at the Draconic presence before him, and the serpents move to attack!
Orange extends the spines on its back and rushes!

Yellow then bites!
Green then floats and attacks Janna!

Orange attacks Ajoran!

Torvald stares at the massive, serpentine monsters fighting and says ”I believe that’s my cue to leave. But YOU are coming with me!” He pulls at Suryo and tries to entrap him in his strange lower body of tentacles!
”Fine!” His tentacles release Suryo and casts a 5th-rank translocate in an attempt to retreat, but is stabbed so hard by Ajoran that it disrupts his spellcasting!

Okay, then we will indeed kill you and take it Suryo snarls before drawing Storm Flash.
You channel your zeal through a sacred weapon, bringing a foe closer to their demise. Strike a target with the required weapon. On a success, the target becomes doomed 1 or increases the value of their doomed condition by 1 (most living creatures die when they’ve reached doomed 4). Creatures doomed in this way take a status penalty to their saving throws against divine spells equal to their doomed value.
A creature that would become doomed 4 by this Strike can attempt a Will saving throw against your class DC to avoid increasing the value of their doomed condition. When this occurs, this ability gains the incapacitation trait.
--------------------
You apply one of the following debilitations, which lasts until the end of your next turn.
Debilitation The target takes a –10-foot status penalty to its Speeds.
Debilitation The target becomes enfeebled 1.
Your opportunistic attacks are particularly detrimental. When you use Debilitating Strike, you can apply two debilitations simultaneously; removing one removes both.

"Stay. I insist." the aasimar says as he he focuses on his trinket of the dockmaster's bane. Then, he raises his blades to strike!
◆ Intensify Vulnerability (Weapon)
◆ Strike
◆ Strike
Janna hastens her stride when she sees Torvald trying to leave with their prize. She does her best to ignore the serpents, and channels the unstoppable magical energies coursing through her, already dreading the backlash.
The saber in her hand grows a shimmering spectral projection around it, and she swings it at Torvald!
◆ Stride
◆◆ Amped Imaginary Weapon
Ajoran swipes at Torvald!
Janna moves forward and, using her spell, utterly obliterates Torvald!
Suryo Interacts to grab Torvald’s black book off of his body, Interacts to swap the book with his rapier, then Strides toward one of the sea serpents.
Yujin unleashes her dragon’s breath upon the sea serpents!
She then claws into Green!

Suryo lets Storm Flash crackle with energy in front of the sea serpent he approached, hoping it piques its curiosity.
You distract your opponent with a few choice words or a rude gesture. Choose a target within 30 feet. It’s off-guard against your attacks until the end of your next turn. Depending on the way you describe your distraction, this action gains either the auditory or visual trait.
--------------------
Just when he thinks he has it distracted...
You channel your zeal through a sacred weapon, bringing a foe closer to their demise. Strike a target with the required weapon. On a success, the target becomes doomed 1 or increases the value of their doomed condition by 1 (most living creatures die when they’ve reached doomed 4). Creatures doomed in this way take a status penalty to their saving throws against divine spells equal to their doomed value.

--------------------
Janna staggers from the inevitable psychic backlash, but she can't help smile at Torvald's death. She offers a small prayer to He Who Walks in Blood, and tries to push through the pain.
◆◆ Rank 6 Slow on the all of the Serpents.
Finally with a quick flick of her wrist she activates her bracelet
Yujin dismisses her draconic form, shrinking back down to human size while her limbs reform into the proper anatomy. Then she calls upon her divine ability to create fire and summons four whirling flames down upon the sea serpents.
Casting Whirling Flames. Creating four 5-ft. bursts, one on each sea serpent. Basic Reflex DC 36.
◆Dismiss (Dragon Form)
◆◆Cast Whirling Flames
With the devilish dockmaster down on the deck, Ajoran shifts his attention to a serpent.
◆ Exploit Vulnerability vs Yellow
Then, Ajoran exchanges one of his blades for a plain steel handmirror with a polished reflective surface of glass that seems to tint different colors at different angles. He tilts it, seeing the reflection of the mirror, then somehow bouncing his own image off of it to create another Anjoran next to Suryo!
◆ Mirror's Reflection
Both Ajorans mimic one another's movements, with the one in the water taking a swing with his sword.
◆Strike
Ajoran moves over to Orange and swings and misses.
Janna attempts to slow all of the serpents!
Suryo moves forward and attacks! Then Ajoran backstabs it!

Once Jakalyn’s favored are away from the docks and in a sufficiently-secluded spot, they begin going through Torvald’s book.
The book itself seems to be half-ledger, half-journal-of-comings-and-goings. The book contains the names of several visitors to Mediogalti, as well as their business being there, and how much they paid in taxes to enter Ilizmagorti. Torvald’s notetaking is meticulous and extremely detailed.
Something of particular note about the notebook is to whom Torvald reports this information that he gathers. He most frequently reports his intel to city authorities—usually members of the Blood Guard, but occasionally to a Red Mantis agent directly—given that he is an indirect agent of the Red Mantis, this makes sense. However, in the past several weeks he’s also been reporting his intel to a second person: one Sister Maeri.
If you critically succeeded, open the spoiler below
The back cover of Torvald’s book has a flap of paper attached that creates a makeshift pocket. Inside the pocket is a folded-up note that seems to be written in some kind of cypher that combines the languages Diabolic and Empyrean. Ajoran, as the only one familiar with both of those languages, sets out to work on deciphering it.
While Ajoran is not able to parse out the exact word-for-word, he is able to understand the general gist. The message contains descriptions of five individuals—Ajoran, Janna, Suryo, Yujin, and Vatum (at least his human form)—and that Torvald is to keep an eye out for them entering the city by sea. The last bit of the message seemed particularly important, so Ajoran spent a little extra time making sure he got this phrase correct:
If you catch them, the new blood mistress will doubtless be pleased and may well grant you an early reprieve from the servitude terms in your contract.
We need a place to stay while we're on the island, and somewhere inconspicuous.
I've heard the name Sister Maeri. She is the abbess of the Hospice of Serenity. I know where it is. It seems a little unusual in town in that they actually look out for others there, but that's really just cover for our organization to keep an eye on the downtrodden and passing adventurers. Sister Maeri worships two very different facets of Achaekek: His subtlety and trickery, as well as His fanatical fire for bloodshed.
He thinks some more.
No doubt the Vernai may use it to look out for us. We must be supremely careful if we approach it. Perhaps establishing a safe house is in order.
Janna is shocked, and then angry at the contents of the letter.
"I don't think there can be any "if" about whether we approach the abbess. She is mixed up in this, and if she wrote that note, she is as good as dead. "New blood mistress" indeed, it's sickening."
A few deep breaths though and she cools off.
"You're right though we do need somewhere safe to rest, and gather if separated"
"I agree with both those points. I don't want anyone knowing where we are resting while in Ilizmagorti. Let's find somewhere abandoned, or if we can't, find a home with someone that won't be missed."
"Afterwards, we should pay this Sister Maeri a visit."
*
*
The Hospice of Serenity is a grandiose building—atop its 15-foot tall roof are four 40-foot-tall minarets, as well as a large copper dome at the building’s center.
As the group arrives at the Hospice, they find it suspiciously lacking in activity. For the foremost healing sanctuary in the city, there is very little activity. The doors are closed, and the windows covered with thick curtains. Glances through the thick curtains reveal that the interior furniture is covered in white sheets, and that there is not a soul inside the building itself.
Suryo looks upward to see if there's a safe vantage point he could use to peer into the building.
Yujin will search the surrounding area for a person to question, preferable a street urchin who keeps his eyes on the neighborhood. If she finds one, she'll ask pointed questions. "Does the Hospice of Serenity still open its doors? When is the last time someone went in or out of the building? Has anything strange been happening nearby?"
Janna grabs Suryo's shoulder before he takes off or goes invisible. She holds up a finger for "wait", despite having cast Hidden Mind on him this morning again.
"This could be the headquarters of the heretics, I think we should assume the worst. If it's trapped or guarded and they take you out, it will weaken us. I think we should stick together. Give Yujin a chance to learn something before we move in"
Janna leans heavily on her "walking stick", trying to look the old woman her disguise paints her as. If she gets a moment of cover from onlookers, she'll cast See the Unseen from her staff, the better to examine the building for any hidden dangers.
Ajoran nods towards Janna. "If we're going in, we should go in as a team. I know some formations and hand signs to help keep us coordinated and unseen. And we should learn what we can outside before we venture any closer."
If given a bit of time, the aasimar will attempt to see if there's been any recent foot traffic to or from the Hospice.
"Does the Hospice of Serenity still open its doors? When is the last time someone went in or out of the building? Has anything strange been happening nearby?"
”Huh? Yeah, it’s been closed for the past couple days. Something about airing out the weight of death and suffering.”
If given a bit of time, the aasimar will attempt to see if there's been any recent foot traffic to or from the Hospice.
Ajoran notices that there has been some amount of foot traffic, but significantly less than would be expected. It seems that building is not completely abandoned.
As the group gathers back toward the front of the Hospice, something in the air suddenly feels wrong…
As Janna scans the surroundings, she notices that they are being watched. Four Red Mantis assassins are on the roof of the abbey—two at the minarets and two above the main entrance. All of the assassins look down directly at the group with longbows drawn, arrows nocked, and ready to fire!

Yujin
==============
”Lord, entrap these blasphemers!”
Yujin, Suryo, and Ajoran are suddenly surrounded by a swarm of crimson mantises! The insects themselves do not go out of their way to attack, instead forming a hemisphere around them.
Jakalyn’s favored then look up and see someone they didn’t see before standing above the entrance to the Hospice: a raven-haired elf woman wearing a white-and-gold dress and wielding a single sawtooth saber: Sister Maeri!

Suryo draws his hood as well, on his greater cloak of illusions.
He then focuses on Sister Maeri.
Ajoran already has his book in one hand, eyes darting between the foe and the words forming just for him.
◇ Tome Adept Recall Knowledge vs Sister Maeri
Then, he retrieves the gnome-sized jawbone of a failed conman as a symbol of the Sister's bane.
◆ Exploit Vulnerability vs Sister Maeri
Lastly, he looks up at the gathered assassins and says "Suffer." in a serene tone.
Suryo turns invisible and hunts Sister Maeri.
Additionally, you know that Sister Maeri trained in ways similar to the Claws of Achaekek—a group of warpriests that specialize in wielding only a single sawtooth saber in combat with deadly efficiency. While Maerie may still be a woman of the cloth , she still picked up on the warpriests’ abilities to wield their weapons.
Ajoran then exploits Maeri He then casts a spell to bring calamity down on Maeri!
Orange and Yellow—two assassins the PCs weren’t fully aware were there—each cast translocate to teleport over to the northeastern minaret. They then draw their arrows and fire at Yujin!
At this point, Sister Maeri shouts ”One of them is invisible!”
Blue, Purple, and Green nod, and each Enhance Vision from their masks of the mantis to see the unseen, but are then confused when they don’t see an extra person.
They then draw arrows and fire at Yujin!
And as the arrow pierces Yujin, a deadly toxin seeps into her bloodstream!

==============
Yujin teleports herself out of the blessed boundary and reappears on the roof. She quickened casts another spell, creating a cloud of vampiric mist over the three Red Mantis Assassins in the corner above Janna.
Janna watches the assassins on the roof with rage teetering into glee. She draws her saber, bamfs up to the roof, and sneaks around amongst the misguided killers.
◆ Draw Saber
◆ Amped Warp Step
◆ Sneak
Yujin teleports out and summons a mist onto the assassins.
Sister Maeri Strides to the opposite side of the roof as Yujin and then raises her arms up to the sky and shouts ”By the will of He Who Walks, the blasphemers shall be destroyed!”
Suddenly a wave of spiritual energy washes all around Sister Maeri that engulfs Jakalyn’s favored!

==============
Despite the debilitating waves of energy, Ajoran stands firm, even as his blades grow heavier. Getting a glimpse of his enemy, he takes a casual step backwards into folding space and lands right beside Sister Maeri.
◆◆Translocate
"I'll give you one chance. Raise the blade to your throat. A single clean slash. A mercy, compared to what I have planned."
◆ Demoralize
Unseen, Suro activates is winged sandals and begins to sneak through the air.

You can move your full Speed when you Sneak. You can use Swift Sneak while Burrowing, Climbing, Flying, or Swimming instead of Striding if you have the corresponding movement type.
Suryo activates his sandals and flies invisibly.
Suryo teleports up to the roof and attempts to scare Sister Maeri, but the woman just smirks and remarks ”Cute.”
With the enemy now in close proximity, the Red Mantis assassins abandon their ranged combat plan and move into melee, releasing their longbows..

==============
Yujin coughs up blood after the assassin stabs her. "Now you." she retorts. She grins with blood-stained lips and a vicious bleeding wound opens on her assailant's body.
Not looking too good, Yujin attempts to translocate again to a more favorable position. She uses her mist as cover in case any enemies come at her from the north.
◇ Unleash Psyche
Never having done this before, Janna lets the torrent of psychic energy she is always holding back surge through her while invisible. She can see the pulsing waves, but can the others?
Not sparing the time to worry, she charges back into the fray and takes out her frustration on the nearest catspaws.
◆ Stride
◆◆ Amped Imaginary Weapon
Yujin teleports.
Janna attacks the assassins from out of nowhere! Yellow falls, and Ajoran backstabs Purple in response, but that assassin still stands.
Sister Maeri sees herself surrounded and Strides away. Ajoran slashes at her in retaliation, but misses the cleric. She then turns around and announces ”Fall!”
A burst of spiritual energy then manifests over Jakalyn’s favored!

--------------------
He sneak-flies in between two of them and draws storm flash.
The multiple stab wounds cause Ajoran to stagger for a moment, coughing up a mouthful of blood. His best healing is spent, but his ally is up. Now is a time for killing. He produces a small vial with dead insects inside; these assassins are but pests meant to die.
◆ Exploit Vulnerability vs Green
