Looking at Mary is a large figure, with green skin and large teeth. They look at you and say

"Even if you defeat us here today, the seeds of your destruction have already been planted in your so-called civilizations. You will eventually crumble like a tree rotting from within. I am tired of being hated and hunted for who I am."

"Well that's fair. You shouldn't be hated or hunted for who you are. It's what you do that truly matters. Perhaps you could explain to us what happened to the three Sarenite adventurers that were here recently?

Unfortunately given the poor accuracy of his last few shots his threat lacks much conviction.

Well that was a disappointing set of rolls

Albrecht prepares to shoot the jackal but stops as Bonnie moves in and blocks his shot.

He grins crookedly. "Careful there Bonnie. I almost shot you in the back and the yellow fletching on my arrows doesn't go well with your complexion."

He turns to the ogre and taunts it before firing.

"You'll look pretty with some yellow ornaments though."

Mwibah (white) was hit with bottled lightning by Albrecht. He is flat-footed until the start of Albrecht's next turn

Albrecht smirks. "You know what Mwibah? I'm beginning to think that you are a very bad dog!"

The investigator quickly cobbles together a bottle of captured lightning and tosses it at the jackal.

strategic strike: 1d6 ⇒ 4

He looks at the battlefield and then to the rapier at his hip and sighs. He resignedly pulls out his bow.

"Soo.. 'Rise up and crush your pitiful civilizations.' See, that's precisely the sort of attitude that gets you attacked by adventurers. What's so wrong with a 'live and let live' type of philosophy?"

Yeah car trouble is never any good. Take your time.

We all rested for the night so everyone should be clear for fresh battle medicines. Also Albrecht is a forensic investigator so he can battle medicine someone once per hour rather than once per day.

So 30 min of healing should fix everyone up

Albrecht examines the statues. "It's a shame these statues have been defaced like this. Shall we head into the next room?"

I don't think it's going to matter.

Albrecht looks for an opening but is unsuccessful.

"Things are starting to look a bit desperate, aren't they birdbrain?"

Finally Albrecht takes a wild stab, hoping to keep the evil bird lady off guard so his friends can finish her off.

Albrecht gives the harpy a crooked grin.

"I'll have to come back to you later birdbrain. Your large friend requires my attention for the time being."

Albrecht draws his rapier, steps closer to the owlbear and attacks.

Albrecht tries to figure out what sort of creatures oppose them.

"Interesting. They appear to possess both avian and ursine properties..."

Aiming carefully, he draws his bow and fires.

Albrecht readies his bow. "It's A little late for Mary to change tactics now. Unless they didn't hear, I suppose."

Albrecht holds out a Drakeheart Mutagen, Lesser for Arity. "Take a swig of this. It should provide you with a modicum of protection from those brutes." Albrecht readies his bow.

devise a stratagem vs pink: 1d20 ⇒ 6

Albrecht sees no opening to shoot the furthest kobold so he moves through their lines to threaten the rear.

◆ devise a stratagem, ◆ stride, ◆ stride

Albrecht moves around the corner and chooses a target.

"Uh oh? What uh oh?"

So basically we want only one beast in every row, only one beast in every column, with only one per pen and none in adjacent squares. Do I read that right?

If so, then Albrecht's suggestion fails since there are two beasts in the 4th column and no beasts in the bottom right pen.

On the other hand, Bonnie's solution looks good to me and fulfills all the requirements.

Mary shakes her head when she sees Albrecht's solution. "Nope. This beast is directly north of this one, so that's no good." She's about to propose her own solution when Bonnie beats her to it. Mary looks it over and says, "Yes! I think you've got it Cap'n. Lets see if it works." She leaves it to Bonnie to press the correct combination since she came up with it.

"No actually it works. It's the mirror image of Bonnie's solution. In fact they both satisfy the terms of the riddle. I see at least 8 solutions. If you take Bonnie's solution and rotate it 90 degrees you have another. You can do that twice more for an additional 2 solutions. The same goes for my solution. Rotate 90 degrees three times for three more possible answers. Let's cycle through all eight and see what happens."

darn it. I messed it up while trying to format it. Third row should be ooooX

oooXo
oXooo
ooooX
ooXoo
Xoooo

Albrecht puzzles over the riddle. "Hmm..."

He presses several squares.

"Perhaps something along these lines?"

This diagram also works by rotating it 90 degrees so the way I see it there are 4 combinations that satisfy the riddle.

Albrecht has only taken 18 damage. He has 26 hp remaining.

While everyone is fiddling around with rope and discussing complex plans Albrecht steps up and makes another attempt to bypass the trap.

He manages only a few steps before clutching his head and collapsing.

Albrecht tips his hat and bows extravagantly towards Arity, a sardonic grin on his face. "Your wish is my command." His eyes narrow as he chooses his target.

Albrecht grabs the book and starts reading the pages, from it he learned that some of the creatures that you could expect are kobolds, ogres and at least couple of rumors were heard about some bird like creatures.

I would imagine that Albrechts designated the Scar as his lead?

The scar works. Is 'bird creatures' too vague to use as a second lead?. Also Albrecht buys another 30 arrows and a basic crafting book leaving him with 5 copper remaining after giving 17 to Arity.

"Hmm...Perhaps we could circle around and approach from another angle in order to ambush any would-be ambushers?"

Albrecht scoffs at Arity's reluctance. "Ha! Nonsense! If we aren't up for it then no one is."

He helps himself to one of the cookies and chews, momentarily lost in thought.

"Lamashtan cultists active here? We can't have that. We'll need to see Thida's notes of course. What sort of monsters were seen? That might affect our preparations. Is the captured cultist still available for further investigation?"

He takes another bite of cookie. "Interesting. Lemon obviously, but is there a touch of mint as well?"
