"Super-gross! And super-evil!" With her new flanking partner, Nyshka winds up for another swing at this newly emerged foe. Flanking blessed smiting power attacking nodachi!: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 2 + 1 + 3 = 15
She'll then give the creature a glare straight out of the Abyss - but powered up with righteousness! swift action demoralize Intimidate (demoralize): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26 DC 10 + HD + Wis, shaken for 1+ rounds on success

Nyshka returns the nasty grin. "Your wickedness is clear. You have nowhere to run. Your surrender is optional." She chooses him as the target of her smite evil and charges. Nodachi +1, power attack, smite, charge, bless: 1d20 + 6 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 17

Nyshka has no buffs, but will use her wand or Xivio's to heal him up.
"Hopefully the next fight starts from the front!"

In the crowded corridor, Nyshka can neither get into melee range nor close enough to Xivio to give him any HP. "See if you can work your way around the villain, these tunnels are too narrow!" Nyshka draws and throws her Chackram into the melee. Chackram into melee: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 - 4 = 12 Slashing Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Nyshka votes to go right, on the theory that going away from the swarm's origin may lead to more proper evildoers and not more unhittable bugs. She also espouses to the philosophy of turning right in dungeons.

If we still need that reroll
Nyshka's goddess is of luck and fortune so she sees it as divine intervention.

Nyshka takes a 5 foot step to get closer and draws a flask of alchemists fire - her only one. She will wait for Xivio to get out of the swarm and then throw it. Alchemists Fire Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 Fire Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5
The bottle crashes into the wall, dealing only a little splash to swarm. "I don't suppose you can do that again Xivio?"

The paladin is ready to go bust up wicked cult and save the town. She recommends the family lay as low as possible for a while, and also asks them "What is the connection to all these damned stirges?"

Nyshka is eager to put a stop to whatever human sacrificing activities going on here. She does support Jack in asking the girl and her parents if the tax collector met a similar fate, and also asks more about the ritual. "Who is really involved in this? Does the whole town know? Just how deep does this evil seep?"

Nyshka gets out of bed, grabs her weapon, and moves toward the scream. Guess this aching back from the armor was worth it. she notes as she uses lay on hands mercy to remove her fatigue.

Nyshka will sleep in the next room. With the bad feelings going on in the town she will sleep in her armor despite the discomfort. She can remove fatigue in the morning with her lay on hands mercy.

Nyshka will share her concerns with the party as well, but is uncertain what exactly kind of evil they may be up to. "I mean, it COULD be that they are a demon-worshipping cult raising an army of fiendish stirges, or they could simply have been trying to con us out of some money." personally at a loss for what kind of wrong is going on here, but something sure is wrong lol

nope on the flirt Nyshka would try to detect evil through her interactions with the villagers, especially the mayor and anyone being a center of attention like Shel and her family.

"That pig was sure fast! I guess it wins the race after all." At the feast Nyshka will avoid the salad as Zubb Zubb recommends and stick to the meats. No mushrooms either.

Nyshka is not personally interested in any of the games - especially whatever it is that is happening with the pig. The only true game of chance is probably the raven fights, which isn't her cup of tea, especially standing next to Zubb Zubb.

Strangely for a paladin, games of chance are up Nyshka's alley, so she keeps an eye out for anything to test her luck. She's also willing to help any set up, hoping to gather some information about the tax collector's fate from anyone she can establish a rapport with. (Diplomacy check) Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Nyshka is more suspicious perhaps than Jack. "Not that I want to judge anyone for their choice in pets, but a town where everyone has a pet stirge and the only visitor in recent memory has gone missing sounds exactly like a place where something has befallen." Nyshka is ready to seek out the mayor too, and/or check out the festival. With so many little bloodsuckers out and about she considers trying to sleep in her heavy armor tonight.

Nyshka smiles a friendly pointy toothed grin at the buy "Quite an interesting friend you have there." Maybe the teeth are why he was too shy to answer any questions... When they meet his father, Nyshka asks "How is everything going around town? Also, how did your son come by such an unusual pet?"

"I suppose I am ready to leave then." When they do leave the room Nyshka comments "I don't care much to be a tax collector for a village of farmers, but the situation sounds concerning if the village is seeing some kind of troubles. And the fate of her last investigator needs to be discovered. At least we aren't being asked to bust skulls to get the tax money."

To Nilah, Nyshka offers her interpretation of the venture captain's directions. "I believe the client has said the more important problem is the missing man, and a report about reasons for the missing taxes is fine too." She asks of Dreng "What sort of place is Ravenmoor? What kind of work do they do their to get the money to pay these taxes? Farming or crafting or something else?" "And are there known threats in the area that the Society is aware of?"

Another tiefling approaches the others. Sporting short horns, a restless tail, and eyes like staring in to the Abyss, she also makes no effort to disguise her ancestry. A holy symbol does adorn her heavy armor, marking her a follower of the typically halfling goddess Chaldira Zuzaristan. A long blade is holstered on her back, maneuvered deftly by her tail whenever passing through a door or near other obstacles. "Hello, call me Nyshka." She nods at Nilah. "Not sure I've worked with another of our kind before. Do tieflings usually shake tails instead of hands? Haha!"

Well if we fight that big one again and it actually hits with its real damage, it one shots anyone in the party, so I say we rest on our laurels cuz I'm all out of heals! Also, no throwing Nyshka!

Ow, that would hurt... Nyshka winces as she takes the blow, and touches her lacerated arm to recover with her last Lay on Hands.
She can't help but taunt the thing "You're gonna have to do better than that!" And she swings her weapon again.
Crit again (: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Nyshka climbs to the top with the rest, then approaches the drake to speak. Will try intimidate to shame, as that is one of our best skills Does Nyshka detect him as evil? "Do you speak the common language of men?"
Whether he acknowledges or not, Nyshka tries to speak with some respect, but also not messing around and (probably actually) not showing fear. "We come to you after one of our scouts reportedly bungled an attempt to speak with you. I'll waste none of your time or ours, we both have better things to do. We wage war now on Eshimka, and cannot be worried about the intentions of a mighty drake. If you do not wish to fight, we can leave this place now with your assurances. If you DO wish for a fight fight, I suggest you turn your attention to the undead and other monsters that Eshimka pollutes this land with." Intimidate: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

"That's a universal language. Even better!" Nyshka smiles wide, and it seems like a terrifying face especially if you are scared by pointed teeth and eyes as dark and deep as the abyss topped off with a couple small tasteful horns. The intimidate is +8!

"So we're gonna try and talk to this drake? Can certainly give it a shot, I can try to be nice." Nyshka smiles wide, and seems like a friendly enough face if you aren't scared off by pointed teeth and eyes as dark and deep as the abyss topped off with a couple small tasteful horns. +7 Diplomacy here, so happy to help with the talking if we think that will work. Does anyone speak Draconic in case that helps?

Thanks for covering! "Praise Chaldira! We finally have the upper hand now, see if we can spare this one" Nyshka moves to provide a potential flank and strikes with the flat side of her blade to try and knock the remaining enemy out.

Nyshka side steps then springs forward, Falchion swinging to try and take down the injured foe. Falchion: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
She shouts to her companions. "Stay close and I can protect you!" If either Cabe or Kato stay in melee and get attacked while Nyshka is adjacent, she'll intercede in the first attack to become the target herself. It's the once a day tiefling trait
