Even as she nimbly dodges around the fire Mazul's shoulders relax. She can handle a fight. She's not sure she could handle looking anyone in the eyes again after bargaining with someone else's soul.
She winces sympathetically as Zin takes the full brunt of the blast. Hopefully that decision doesn't end up costing them all.
"This is a bad move, I know it's a bad move, but sometimes bad moves are the only ones you've got." With a deep breath she dodges past both Wan and a startled-looking barbazu. (Okay, there may have been a false start involved, but she gets there eventually.) "Same tactic as before, where we trim the beards first?"

Mazul sighs. "I'm starting to think we're not speaking the same language, but it's clear we're not going to agree. So Akkaboo, Wan, what do you think? Gamble on being able to beat these guys or gamble on a literal devil being completely straightforward and honest with us? Either way if we lose the world is screwed."
Half-Orc Rogue 7 | HP 64/64 | AC 26 | F +9 R +17 W +11 | Perc +13 (+1 to find traps), Darkvision | Speed 30 ft | Hero Points: 1 | Active Conditions: None
"Considered and rejected as far as I'm concerned." Mazul's tone is flat. "In the best case scenario he's only lying about specifically needing Belcorra's foes to fetch Carmen for him. I still wouldn't like it; all the stories my Nana told me about devils ended very badly for the people bargaining with them, but I could see the argument. However there's also a worst case scenario in which he's lying about everything, including why he needs Carmen's soul in the first place, and it's actually part of some hideous plot that will destroy the world. Maybe Belcorra's being kept in check by some wards that will only open to a descendant of the Roseguard. Maybe that's the reason none of the ghouls or seugathi or fleshwarped monsters have attacked Otari yet. We already saw a ward that opened with the Roseguard's artifacts, is it that big of a stretch to imagine there's one that requires a soul?"
"I'm not suicidal. If everyone else would rather sacrifice Carmen than risk fighting these guys, I won't kill myself trying to stop you. But I think it's a monumentally stupid idea."
Half-Orc Rogue 7 | HP 64/64 | AC 26 | F +9 R +17 W +11 | Perc +13 (+1 to find traps), Darkvision | Speed 30 ft | Hero Points: 1 | Active Conditions: None
Mazul pauses, thinking carefully. "I have two issues with this 'deal.' One, Carmen's a bastard and I'm still mad at him over the library, but I'm not exactly comfortable with the idea of handing over his soul. Doesn't really seem like the kind of thing I should do if I want to keep my own soul clean. Mostly clean. Not-destined-for-hell clean anyway." Her eyes narrow. "Two, you're lying to us. We've met Cynemi. Name ring any bells? Tiefling bounty hunter? Someone who would definitely qualify as your minion seeing as you hired her? And if you're lying about the details of your contract, what else are you lying about?"

"At least we won't have to carry them up the stairs, since we've been activating the teleportation circles. The trip through the swamp is going to suck though." Despite commenting on the ore Mazul is obviously more interested in the weapons. Unfortunately a few experimental swings are enough to demonstrate why she should stick with her trusty rapier.
"North works for me. What do you think this pendant is for anyway?" Once everyone is healed up Mazul joins Zin in checking out the strange reddish glow.
Half-Orc Rogue 7 | HP 64/64 | AC 26 | F +9 R +17 W +11 | Perc +13 (+1 to find traps), Darkvision | Speed 30 ft | Hero Points: 1 | Active Conditions: None
Mazul keeps her focus on the barbazu, hoping to quickly take it down so they can all gang up on the erinyes. Grinning at Wan's quip, she adds, "Maybe we can help trim that beard down a little."

"More devils? Gotta say I'm not a fan." As the devils start smashing at Wan Mazul takes advantage of the distraction to slip around the barbazu. "Excuse me, pardon me, just gonna get in a good stabbing position here, and let's go!"
Half-Orc Rogue 7 | HP 64/64 | AC 26 | F +9 R +17 W +11 | Perc +13 (+1 to find traps), Darkvision | Speed 30 ft | Hero Points: 1 | Active Conditions: None
Mazul slowly stirs awake (again). "Blergh. Is the evil flying devil lady dead?" Upon being reassured that it is, she flies back down into an isolated corner and retches until the nausea goes away. Then she works with Zin to get everyone back up to full health.
"Is there even anything in here? I'm going to be upset if we went through all of that for nothing." Once everyone's healed she searches the room more thoroughly for any useful items.

Mazul sways in midair as she's struck again. "This is getting old real fast." She frantically tries to stem the worst of the bleeding before risking a downwards stab.
Half-Orc Rogue 7 | HP 64/64 | AC 26 | F +9 R +17 W +11 | Perc +13 (+1 to find traps), Darkvision | Speed 30 ft | Hero Points: 1 | Active Conditions: None
"Whazzat?" Mazul has no idea what hit her. One minute she'd been flying free, the next she's waking up with Zin tightly grasping her arm.
She looks down at the very, very hot magma below and gulps. "I owe you one. Ten. Something, I'll figure it out later." She rapidly bandages the worst of the bleeding and starts flying again. This time she flies over the erinyes, so at least if she falls again she'll fall on top of the devil's head.
Half-Orc Rogue 7 | HP 64/64 | AC 26 | F +9 R +17 W +11 | Perc +13 (+1 to find traps), Darkvision | Speed 30 ft | Hero Points: 1 | Active Conditions: None
Seeing that the devil was unimpressed by the previous feint, Mazul tries again. "Where's the rapier going? Here, there, everywhere at once?" She manages to catch a brief second of distraction and slips through the erinys' guard. "Hah! Take that!"
Half-Orc Rogue 7 | HP 64/64 | AC 26 | F +9 R +17 W +11 | Perc +13 (+1 to find traps), Darkvision | Speed 30 ft | Hero Points: 1 | Active Conditions: None
"Bat wings? What spell-" Mazul cuts herself off as she suddenly feels a lot lighter than normal. She looks up at the devils and grins. "Oooohhhh, I get it. Wan, you think you can make the jump? Because I don't think I can carry you."
With a maniacal laugh she flies up to the closer of the two devils. She waves her rapier in a (hopefully) distracting manner before lunging forward with a stab.
Half-Orc Rogue 7 | HP 64/64 | AC 26 | F +9 R +17 W +11 | Perc +13 (+1 to find traps), Darkvision | Speed 30 ft | Hero Points: 1 | Active Conditions: None
"Weird priorities that devil had. Maybe it was just really, really prejudiced against elves." With a shrug, Mazul goes to help tend to any remaining wounds.
Once everyone's back at full health, she gestures to the doors. "Let's see what this dude was guarding."
Half-Orc Rogue 7 | HP 64/64 | AC 26 | F +9 R +17 W +11 | Perc +13 (+1 to find traps), Darkvision | Speed 30 ft | Hero Points: 1 | Active Conditions: None
Mazul doesn't bother making any more small talk. If the devil wants to keep attacking the guy who can heal himself while ignoring the people slowly stabbing it to death, more power to him. It certainly makes her life easier. She stops raising her shield in between stabs and just tries her hardest to poke whatever organs lie beneath the bones.
Half-Orc Rogue 7 | HP 64/64 | AC 26 | F +9 R +17 W +11 | Perc +13 (+1 to find traps), Darkvision | Speed 30 ft | Hero Points: 1 | Active Conditions: None
"Alrighty then. Just keep ignoring me and Wan, see how that goes for you." It's not that Mazul wants to be attacked, but she's getting concerned for Zin's safety. Her lips thin as she continues trying to kill the devil.
Half-Orc Rogue 7 | HP 64/64 | AC 26 | F +9 R +17 W +11 | Perc +13 (+1 to find traps), Darkvision | Speed 30 ft | Hero Points: 1 | Active Conditions: None
"You okay over there Zin?" Mazul's eyes dart back and forth between the creature and Zin's bleeding wounds. She continues stabbing for now, but mentally prepares to go help heal him if he needs it.
Half-Orc Rogue 7 | HP 64/64 | AC 26 | F +9 R +17 W +11 | Perc +13 (+1 to find traps), Darkvision | Speed 30 ft | Hero Points: 1 | Active Conditions: None
Mazul gracefully leaps over the tail as it attempts to trip her. "Nice try, but no." She moves into the room, puts her back into a corner, and starts stabbing.
Half-Orc Rogue 7 | HP 64/64 | AC 26 | F +9 R +17 W +11 | Perc +13 (+1 to find traps), Darkvision | Speed 30 ft | Hero Points: 1 | Active Conditions: None
"Belcorra, and probably." Mazul gazes up towards where the imp had disappeared. "Sure, we never saw you. Just checking out the room, looking for anything useful. Imp? What imp?"
Assuming there's nothing particularly noteworthy in the room, she heads to the door. "Completely empty room, nothing to see in there. Let's check across the hall." She has no qualms about leaving the (obviously nonexistent) imp to her work, given that Urevian seems to be the one in charge. Take out the head and all that.
Half-Orc Rogue 7 | HP 64/64 | AC 26 | F +9 R +17 W +11 | Perc +13 (+1 to find traps), Darkvision | Speed 30 ft | Hero Points: 1 | Active Conditions: None
Mazul nods. "I'd rather leave it for later if we can. Or never. Never would be good. Anyone have anything they can use to bar the door? I've got a crowbar, but that's better for opening doors then keeping them shut."

"That's...thank you." Mazul is more than a little stunned by the offer. "I remember seeing some boots in the market once that were super comfortable. Since we're spending all day on our feet, my own boots are getting kind of worn and I could use an upgrade. Size is 27cm long, 11cm wide."
Half-Orc Rogue 7 | HP 64/64 | AC 26 | F +9 R +17 W +11 | Perc +13 (+1 to find traps), Darkvision | Speed 30 ft | Hero Points: 1 | Active Conditions: None
Mazul escorts Cynemi all the way to the nearest healer before departing. "Take care, rest up, and get some good food in you. You'll be alright." After Cynemi is taken care of, she does indeed visit Captain Longsaddle. "So, uh, looks like Carman may have made more enemies than he realizes by reclaiming his ancestral sword. We just rescued a bounty hunter who was contracted to kill him. She said the devil who recruited her sounded desperate, which to me implies she might not be the only one. Sucks to be Carman I guess. Maybe increase the watch around his cell?" She shrugs. "I don't like him, but I don't think he deserves whatever this devil wants to do to him. We'll let you know if we find out anything else."
Since it's still relatively early, Mazul stretches out her shoulders and prepares to head back into the Vaults. "There's a door to the east we haven't checked; then we can go counterclockwise from there."

”Did the contract have something to do with Rajani’s family blade? Maybe the infernal contract was something that Belcorra was using as insurance to make certain that no one could get down here."
"Maybe. Being the only one able to enter or leave this place could be a pretty good incentive." Mazul shakes her head. "We should probably give the guard a heads up that Carman might be a target for various bounty hunters. I doubt you're the only one this Urevian hired if he's that desperate."
"Anyway, let's get you back to town and to a better healer. Fortunately it's not that far. A teleportation circle to the ground level and a twenty minute trek through the marsh." She offers her own shoulder as a support should the woman need it.

"...Huh. It's currently the fifth of Calistril, 4721 AR, if that helps you figure out how long you've been down here. " Mazul's not sure what she's more surprised by; that this woman was a bounty hunter working for a devil, or that Carman was supposedly 'too cunning' for her to catch. "So, I'm guessing your contract to find Carman is no longer applicable? Since you were kept prisoner down here and all." She gingerly pats the woman on the shoulder in an attempt at a comforting gesture. "Any chance you happen to know why Urevian wanted Carman in the first place? He's a bit of an a*!!&+$, but I wouldn't think he's enough of one to draw infernal attention."

"The Gaunt-leteers." Mazul sits back on her heels, grateful that Zin had known what he was doing and the woman seemed to be doing better. "We're clearing out this place, looking for Belcorra's spirit, trying to save the world, etc." Seeing the woman still seems suspicious, she tries to assuage her concerns. "We're not enemies, I promise you. Well, at least not of anything that doesn't attack us first. You're safe now."

"Oh shit. You still alive in there? You look like you might be alive. Um, shit." This was much worse than the rogues they'd found a few floors up. At least they had been relatively unharmed and not tortured.
Forgoing caution, Mazul rushes into the cell and immediately begins trying to free the tiefling from her bonds. "It's okay, we're going to get you out of here. How did you even get in here? Never mind, tell me later after you're right-side up and your brains aren't leaking out of your ears."
Thievery:1d20 + 16 ⇒ (12) + 16 = 28
To be clear, she's in a hurry and therefore not checking for traps. If the Thievery check wasn't high enough, (and she doesn't explode), she'll keep trying until she succeeds.

Mazul eyes the circle with extreme distrust. "No idea, and I don't care to find out." Skirting the edges of the circle, she waits for Akkaboo to finish her investigation before opening the western doors.

Mazul instinctively throws herself to the ground as she sees the flesh start rippling. Her caution is rewarded when the explosion passes harmlessly over her head. "Is it a bad sign that I'm starting to expect things to explode when they die?"
With the battle over, she makes sure any injuries are treated before they move on to the next room.

Mazul nimbly dodges all the needles without too much trouble. But before she can start moving towards the enemies, Wan rushes past her and Aggro explodes. "Wan? Have I ever told you how distracting you are? Because you are very distracting." Making her own way into the room, she starts stabbing at one of the needle-creatures. "I mean that in the best way possible."

"Thanks Wan." Mazul finally stops shaking and gets back up again. "I'm okay now, it was just a lot. First Belcorra and then...whatever that thing was. Both of them felt like they were trying to shred my brain from the inside. Not a fan."
Seeing that other people have been able to enter the room without having their brains turned into mush, she (reluctantly) darts across herself.

Mazul gingerly takes the tooth with a disgusted look on her face. "Um, thanks? I think Orgun might put it to better use though. Anyway, looks like that's it for this hallway. Time to see what's on the other side of door #2."
Unfortunately she can't use the gallows tooth; it requires being a master in Intimidation. Orgun can, if he comes back.

"Not a clue." Mazul eventually manages to get back to her feet. "I just saw her face. Her very angry face. I don't think she appreciates us being here."
"Lesson learned: don't look into bowls of water that are potentially used for scrying. Shall we continue?"
Half-Orc Rogue 7 | HP 64/64 | AC 26 | F +9 R +17 W +11 | Perc +13 (+1 to find traps), Darkvision | Speed 30 ft | Hero Points: 1 | Active Conditions: None
"Ugh. That water is not clean. What were they using it for-" Mazul looks into the water and immediately regrets it.
A moment of rolling on the floor in agony later, she can finally speak again. "Water. Looking at. Do not recommend. Belcorra is uglier than I thought." She staggers over to a corner. "I'm just going to curl up into a ball and cry for a bit. Don't mind me."

"Thanks Orgun!" Between the magic missiles and his help pointing out the wisp's location, it had been much easier to kill than she'd feared. Now with everyone up and more-or-less healthy, it was time to see if anything valuable was stashed away. "Is there anything in the closet over there?"
Half-Orc Rogue 7 | HP 64/64 | AC 26 | F +9 R +17 W +11 | Perc +13 (+1 to find traps), Darkvision | Speed 30 ft | Hero Points: 1 | Active Conditions: None
Mazul continues peering into the room, staring at where the magic missiles disappeared. If Akkaboo can see it, and she's aiming there, then that means the wisp must be there too...

Mazul tries to memorize where the wisp was as it turns invisible. "That might be a problem. I can't stab what I can't see. Zin, is there anything-" She turns just in time to see Zin crumple. Apparently the lantern hadn't done anything other than make him a target. "Oh that's not good."
Squeezing past Wan, she kneels down next to Zin and tries to shake him out of his stupor. "Wake up! Now is not the best time for a nap."

"Creepy. Very creepy." Mazul pulls out some chalk and deliberately covers the pictures of Dorianna. "This is a full-blown stalker shrine. I'd set the whole place on fire if I didn't think it would backfire and somehow burn us all alive." When they enter the next room and see the withered hands, she gags. "So I guess we know what was in store for her if she continued her 'adventures.' How many people has he done this to? Anyone remember hearing stories of withered hands followed by a mysterious disappearance?"
"I think I need a bath." She all but runs into the maze of new doors, eager to leave Ysondkhelir's quarters behind.

"That went better than I expected." Mazul kicks the discarded clothes for good measure. "At least now Dorianna can get a good night's sleep. Hey, can anyone tell if this ruby is cursed before we pick it up? I wasn't kidding about the Dimension of Dreams not being my idea of a, ahem, dream vacation."
One Aggro is repaired and everyone is healed, she gestures towards the nearby doors. "Let's check these out before we go into the hall of monsters that are definitely going to try to eat us."

"Okay..." Mazul steps back into position and continues attempting to stab Ysondkhelir. "I suppose it worked out because that looked like it hurt. Orgun, how you doing over there?"
Half-Orc Rogue 7 | HP 64/64 | AC 26 | F +9 R +17 W +11 | Perc +13 (+1 to find traps), Darkvision | Speed 30 ft | Hero Points: 1 | Active Conditions: None
"Ow!" Mazul is not happy about the spell cast on her. "I didn't know they'd managed to turn paper cuts into a spell. Whatever will the wizards think of next?"
She stabs twice more at Ysondkhelir before registering Wan's request and stepping back. "Um, sure. Is here good?"
Half-Orc Rogue 7 | HP 64/64 | AC 26 | F +9 R +17 W +11 | Perc +13 (+1 to find traps), Darkvision | Speed 30 ft | Hero Points: 1 | Active Conditions: None
"Why am I not surprised." Shaking her head, Mazul moves up next to Wan. "To be clear, I'm not disappointed either. I really do want to stab you in the face for what you've done to that girl."
From your earlier research, Wan recalls that denizens of Leng's aberrant physiology renders them immune to cold and resistant to critical hits and precision damage.

"Uh-huh. Of course you will." Mazul doesn't try to hide her look of skepticism. "Even if you're telling the truth, that just trades one problem for another. The Dimension of Dreams isn't exactly my ideal vacation spot. Plus I happen to like my hands the way they are; functional and non-withered."
"Counteroffer. Let Dorianna go without replacing her, and I will heroically suppress my urge to stab you in the face. Don't underestimate the value of that offer, given you've been torturing a little girl. Apparently with full knowledge of what you were doing to her."
Half-Orc Rogue 7 | HP 64/64 | AC 26 | F +9 R +17 W +11 | Perc +13 (+1 to find traps), Darkvision | Speed 30 ft | Hero Points: 1 | Active Conditions: None
"I'm quite sure those aren't going to come to life and attack us any minute now." Mazul's voice is dripping with sarcasm. "Akkaboo, you said you needed to focus on the ruby in order to make it work, right? And I'm guessing getting attacked by those monstrous creatures would make focusing difficult, so my vote is to keep going and hope we didn't already trigger whatever will set them off."

Mazul wrinkles her nose. "The only thing festering here is the stomach acid on the floor. Wan, you're interested in fleshwarping, right? Do you have any idea what someone would create something so...disgusting? Oh, and nice hit on the devil. Smacked him clear across the room!"
Once everyone's healed up she nods at Akkaboo. "Okay, we're in the Vaults now. Is it time to use the ruby and figure out which direction we need to go in order to find Ysondkhelir? I'm crossing my fingers that the answer isn't 'down.'"

Mazul neatly dodges the spray of stomach acid from the first two exploding grothluts, only to step right into the path of the third. She gags at the smell. "That is so disgusting. Who would design a creature like this?"
Exploding stomachs aside, she's rather pleased at her success in carving a path through to the devil. She immediately starts stabbing at the real threat. "Didn't even need a full minute."
I remember last time we fought a grothlut failing the Fort save resulted in the sickened condition. If these are different I'm happy to not take the -1 penalty.

Mazul shields her face against the sudden explosion to her left. "Wan? You sure you want to go all the way over there? I'm worried about..." She winces sympathetically as the devil immediately lands a nasty-looking wound. "...That."
Not having an impressive suit of armor to propel her over the enemies' heads, she settles for carving her way through the wall of grothluts in front of her. "Be there in a minute!"
Half-Orc Rogue 7 | HP 64/64 | AC 26 | F +9 R +17 W +11 | Perc +13 (+1 to find traps), Darkvision | Speed 30 ft | Hero Points: 1 | Active Conditions: None
Slightly disappointed that none of the grothluts came near her, (but very impressed by the way Orgun took all of their attacks without flinching), Mazul steps forward and starts stabbing.
