Aurelius celebrates slaying down orange with switching his song from Abyssal to common, in an actually uncharacteristic display of getting more hostile attention
Strike at midnights hour
with overwhelming speed and power
THEN FEAST ON THE FEAR
IN YOUR ENEMIES EYES
A forsaken infiltration
RAPID AND VIOLENT DEVASTATION
HEARTS BLACK AS MIDNIGHT
THE FORSAKEN STRIKE

Amoral mercenary trait:
as an immediate action once per day, you can shift your effective alignment so that you are considered neutral instead of evil for the purpose of good effects that target evil creatures (such as holy smite or a paladin’s smite evil ability).
As the Paladin smites him, Aurelius grins
I am amoral, not antimoral, kindly take that smite where the sun doesnt shine, at least not yet, once I tear you up it will!
Pretty sure the Pally still hits, but no smite damage and the smite is wasted
Aurelius, becoming somewhat unhinged as his demonic ancestry seemingly reacts to him pretending to be a demonlord worshipper, sings, a warsong in Abyssal.
If there are bards among the foe they may get some ear bleeding.

bluff:1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22False flagging as a Demonlord cultist
Aurelius, in his partly bottle of discord addled mind, comes up with objectively the bestest other evildoer to false flag ass.
Nurgal, demonlord of the sun, senseless warfare and mercenaries, foe of Iomedae, also a foe of hell, and this is totally not coming to bite him in the arse, right, right?

Good Day Dame Orcelani
Aurelius says as he tips his breastplate with his indexfinger at the words "good" and "day".
bluff to send a secret message:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31
We are here to HELP you in your transition, as your current state IS rather unbecoming for you, certainly, you would prefer to not be HERE
Aurelius keeps tapping his finger at his breastplate, a thing invisible to anyone from outside the cell even if they listen in, and uses this to emphasise the words "help" "is" and "here"
secret message:
Good Day Help is here
the words he demarcates as such are bolded and all capped, he doesnt actually shout them
Perhaps if the Order changes, your Will such change as well, so that public trust will be restored? He continues his pitch
secret message:
Order will be restored
Why would a seasoned law enforcement official not have a role to play in the new regime, alongside other exemplars who have made similiar decisions?
After all, surveilliance must be maintained on various criminal elements, less zeal slackens before the forces of disorder cause chaos, and deny those who live here the true freedom of a lawful society, for us, for them, and also for you

Clearly I do!
Lady Jalila, shall we try as well?
My grappling may leave something to be desired, but oweing to my ancestry I better get good at it or else I become a snack. You will likel prevail, but I can make it a bit more entertaining by calling Lord Malacodas divine favor upon me, if you agree.
If she agrees, Aurelius will cast Divine Favor on himself before sparring
Some CMB checks
CMB:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25 +3 if she is ok with divine favor
Aurelius starts strong, while not having the muscles of a bloodraging guillaume, he is physically capable
CMB:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10 +3 if she is ok with divine favor
Before faltering for a moment
CMB:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17 +3 if she is ok with divine favor
and then becoming merely average, which probably doesnt do it.

May I enquire about your own faith Lady Loredana?
My own actual liege, Lord Malacoda, known as the fatherless, known as the lord of Bastards, may have some... spiritual relevance. Although there could have been... better solutions to your issue, such as splitting. After all, if he returns to Nidal, why would you have to follow?
Aurelius asks, seeking an opportunity for manipulation

Significant failures for me are more like, wrong knowledge then no knowledge, as such
Isnt that the symbol of the s+##ty sin Socothbenoth? Effing Nocticulas Ex and brother because OF COURSE? Demonlord of rape, perversion and all the things Nocticula is to stylish and cultured for? F&$#, did I just compliment the big-boned-bat-b+~&*? Also, how much suspicion do I draw upon myself by revealing I know how Sucks-his-own-cocknoths symbol looks like?
Aurelius makes a bit of an identification mistake
sense motive:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19 She is hiding something, probably that she killed him, and probably good riddance. Hmm, Nocticula and Socothbenoth hate each other... Oh f*$* is Loredana one of hers?
Aurelius is paranoid, jumps to conclusions and is actively unwise. He will think that the fair Loredana is a Nocticula cultist out to get him, maybe.
bluff:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31
Aurelius keeps a completel impenetrable poker face as his mind jumps to some dangerous conclusions, taking into account both the unholy symbol and his suprisingly good lie detection.

Hmm, it is not mindless since its speaking, and it its grappling him, so it cant interrupt me from casting a spell. I got an idea
A cunning plan forms in Aurelius mind
FALL! He bellows a command Command spell
Commanding the creature to Fall, DC 15 will save or be forced to stop what its doing, releasing the pin, and Fall instead
I like to roleplay failed kn. checks as having a good idea that is unlikely to work in practice. Its is likely immune to mind effecting stuff, but with an 8 Aurelius wont know that.

With Jana
I wouldnt count out Groats ghost yet, the way the elemental collapsed into nothing after I hit it really hard to me implies it was summoned, rather then it having been there like... "normally" or having been "called". And we didnt kill anything that is in our view capable of summoning fire elementals, so no, area is not safe yet, just less unsafe for surroundings, I dont think the "whatever" can make as many fire elementals as it wants to, thats just not the way things work most of the time.
Not a lie
He pauses
Like, I have some degree of "familiarity" with extraplanars, and you probably heard of the difference between calling and summoning yourself? This is also important when it comes to planar outsiders with loot. If they were just summoned, their stuff devolves into goop, if they were called, you can actually pick their things up and sell them, or grab their body and sell that to the next not that reputable alchemist. And it very much was like the former, not the latter.
Aurelius goes into a short lecture of planar creatures and you, while pronouncing "familiarity" in a slightly comedic fashion.
May need to figure out how to draw out the "whatever", which needs to be researched, perhaps something important in the "whatevers" mortal life?
Giving us a good excuse to find the relevant thingmajit
Overall situation is also mostly consistent with a haunt that summons fire elementals, in which case bugger me because that is not my specialty, but I can do positive energy, praise Nephtys for finding me funny, at least by touch if not by channel, so theres that.
Aurelius speaks, seemingly lost in thought
Aurelius plots to pretend to worship Nepthys, who is a) Neutral neutral and b) probably uninclined to mess much with him. Since his way of preventing being detected as a follower of a Malebranche is to cast misdirection on a random rock, that would even hold out under scrutitiny, unless the Iomedeans have somehow have an insinuator with detect neutral in their lineup, which I kind of doubt since thats an Antipaladin archetype.

Aurelis moves in behind Giuliano, winks at Jana and orders
Hmmm, I shall leave my dish to whatever your cook wishes to prepare at this moment, this seems the most fair test of his abilities for me.
He adds as he sits down talking to Giuliano, not super loud but easily overhearable.
So, you think the fiendish fire elementals, in that smithy have been dealt with? Just my intuition, but whatever caused them to be here may just be hiding until we arent there. I think we killed the elementals too quickly and rapidly, so whatever it is got too scared to fight itself. Probably best to not sell this as "done" yet, lest innocents poke around there and get burned.
At least the flames should not threaten neighbouring areas for now.
bluff:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27+15 bonus if his racial +4 for lying applies here, his intention is to market the group as problem solvers, while also not having people poke in the smithy and run into Braccus
Maybe I should try to play a damsel in distress to attract evil enemies... Nah, I am only mildly less muscle packed then our Bloodrager. He muses

Posting will be sporadic over new year, so here is my contingency if Sercrutio shares his knowledge
if Sercrutio shares his observation:
Aurelius starts speaking
Is it one that is capable of the use of Telepathy? Such abilities are powerful for maintaing one ability tocommunicatewith others. It would behove us to keep this in mind.
bluff to send a secret message to the devil:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
He specifically pronounces certain words more loudly, yet the communication is totally harmless otherwise.
Secret message is: Use Telepathy to communicate with us

GM approval:
Yessss child, use the fact that you are at least one quarter sex-demon! Embrace the proud heritage of the midnight isles! And Bards are great, one of the inn-and-outs I run is called "Bard and Breakfast"! Aurelius hears a mental voice, one that not infrequently messes with him
Keep the f+++ out of my datelife "mother", and what do you mean by at least one quarter? Also you are running an "inn-and-out"? I presume the bards are the breakfast? He shoots back angrily
As to your second question, more like 6, and, yes, for wealthy clients. Bards are expensive because they are pretty hard to keep alive in Alyushinyrra. As to your first there is a dramatic pause
Thehehehehehe Aurelius hears a giggle as the voice fades
I need to figure how that that b@~+& is spying on me. At she probably is close. Aurelius thinks
