*nods*
It appears so.

The Ranger arches a brow as Aleziella and her touch drift by him, it was a pleasant reprieve from the grisly business at hand as he pulled his sword out from the still dog's corpse.
"Same as the dog," Sykes simply replies. "Save the gnome, who led us to Lamm and then fled."
:( *hugs* Take all the time you need.
Sykes promptly plunges his blade into the dog as it slumps to make sure it doesn't get back up.
”... well okay then.”
”Quit that,” Sykes says as he tries to swat the overly friendly dog with the flat of his blade. ”Will your sleep magic work on it?”
”Shoo!” Sykes calls out as he hustles toward the dog before it can attack Joeseph.
Delicately wrapping up Zellara's head in the most respectful way he can, Sykes picks up the things everyone else points out before making his way back up with the others.
Yep, I did, sorry for the delay.
At the warmth from the hug Sykes snaps out of his moody reverie. "Yes, hopefully they can find peace now. They and all of Lamm's other victims. And the victims that didn't come to be." Turning he smiles at the Harrower. "As for happiness, thank you, your presence during this catharsis, it is... quite soothing." He gaze again goes distant as she discusses the value of the items, not seeming to care till the knife is brought up again, which makes him thoughtful, perhaps something to pursue later. When she explains Zellara’s guidance from the other side he grimly smiles. ”I am glad she is still watching over you, but hopefully she can find peace soon as well. All thing to discuss at a later point, as you point out, the little ones still need attention.”
Magic Missile is nice when you're against enemy spellcasters, just ready an action to magic missile them when they cast, since it always hits there a good chance they'll lose the spell. Same with archers, sept you have to hit.
As Aleziella and Joeseph go through the ill gotten spoils Sykes eyes linger on the wedding ring, distracting him to where he only caught half of what the Investigator was saying about a serial killer. When the contents of the hatbox is revealed he simply closes his eyes and exhales heavily before walking over to Lamm, who he almost couldn't see under all the crimson flowers. "You have no idea, how lucky you were to simply have your end be as quiet and pleasant as this." he says to the corpse as he takes back his blade.
Ooo, an Abadaran Authority type, that will be... interesting.
*nods* Goodbye Viria, take care!
"Do none of the keys work?" Sykes asks as he moves to the box with the drugs. "Would it be safe to simply dump it all in the water here?"
”Ah, narcotics then. Yes they should be disposed of.” The Nidalan calmly says as he nonchalantly dusts the bit of tobacco off his chest.
”What is it? Some sort of poison?” Sykes asks as the Investigator brings up burning the box.
Sykes blinks and keeps his smile as the Harrower imparts some lasting warmth on his face. As both her and Joeseph lay out what to do next he nods. "Yes, let's gather whatever evidence and resources we can here and then attend to the little ones upstairs." At Aleziella's offer he thinks for a moment. Or so it appears, rather, he had his attention grabbed by the numerous crimson flowers sprouting up from Lamm's fading lifeblood. When he realized he had let his mind wander he turned his attention back to the elf. "I would be delighted to continue to work with any and all of you, I can never thank you all enough for your aid in this grizzly yet needed endeavor we all partook tonight. Also, I still have business to attend to in this city, which for the time being will delay my return to Nidal." Those last words were not sad with as much longing as he would have thought.
Not Barbarian but there is Urban Bloodrager
So next level you're dipping into Barbarian :3
At Aleziella's jubilations Sykes relaxed as well, putting the arrow away just in time as the Harrower embraced him. Smiling he wraps his free arm around her as well. "Yes, I must thank you all for this, you have not only avenged the horrors put upon yourself, but also innumerous lost souls. Zellara, Eran, Svetlana... and how many more we've spared." he tells everyone present with a soft smile.
”I do believe he fled once he had the opportunity.” Sykes says as he keeps his eyes on the waters.
Sykes nods to Aleziella and releases the grip on his sword currently sheathed in Lamm as he draws his new bow and arrow. ”Get away from the lizard before you’re lunch, Joeseph.” he calmly tells the man.
”... was that all?” Sykes thinks aloud as he sees some familiar flowers start to sprout from the blood leaking from Lamm. The moment of introspection is broken as the gator awakes and attacks. ”Okay, NOW kick him in.”
Seeing Lamm collapse Sykes steadies his blade and plunges it down like an executioner into the slumbering villain.
”That would be cruel to the lizard, let him sleep,” Sykes nonchalantly says as he steps into a flank with the Investigator. ”So... this is what you look like,” he says to Lamm before slashing at him.
At Aleziella's magical knack sending the gator to the bottom of the pool Sykes will hustle towards Lamm since the coast is cleared.
”Wait for it to strike, then go,” Sykes tells Viria before striding towards Joseph with his sword ready. ”We have no quarrel with you, great lizard.” he tells Gobbleguts.
”I’ll get their attention, get Lamm,” Sykes tells the others before lifting and bracing his sword before him and marching into the room.
Once everyone is ready Sykes will inspect the door area before using the key.
”In better condition than when I took it,” he replies as he trades the investigator back his crowbar for the keys.
Sykes nods to the harrower, not having any objections to the current plans.
@GM: Would Sykes' Warded Against Nature Drawback affect the shark?
"A few, but I'm not suffering any ill effects to my perception. No numbness, irritation, swelling, temperature is still the same," Sykes cooly rattles off as he looks himself over. "And one more question," he adds as Aleziella questions the gnome, "Why did none of the spiders go for you?" He bows in thanks once the Harrower blesses him once again.
Sykes quickly swats at the remaining spider in-between him and the Harrower.
I thought I had but I had not, the flanking adds another +2 to the attack and confirm.
*rubs Aleziella for more good luck*
”Thanks!” Sykes calls out as he follows Aleziella’s flawless setup on right on cue.
"Thanks. A smashy flail is more suited to squashing these vermin in all honesty," Sykes responds while trying to line up a strike on furtive arachnids.
Sykes swings again at the spiders skittering about.
”I as well,” Sykes growls as he takes a swing at the ravenous arachnids.
