As neither arrow sticks, she moves up to deal with all three. "Mitra cannot save you. Burn for all eternity!"
Hopefully, the burning defenders on the walls would let her allies know that it's time to join the battle.

Since her target is not dead yet, she continues shooting at him.
She then turns her attention on the new arrivals and observes the closer one.
Suddenly I have visions of gunfire and grenades!
Taissa studies the elf and lets fly with an arrow charged with all of her hate.
If the elf goes down, she backs that up by trying and mimic the guard. "You lazy sod! You can't sleep it off here."
Stealth Synergy is a feat where if people are sneaking together, they all use the best roll of any person with the feat. Since I'm an Inquisitor, I get to cheat and use any of your rolls even when you don't have the feat. With two people, it raises the average from 10.5 to 15. As you get more people you get even better. It makes nonstealth people into decent stealthers and stealthy people into ghosts.
Whispering, she will say, "Shooting the archers is a fool's game. We should get inside. and try to take some down before they realize there's an attacker."
And the forward team moves out.
"That sounds like a good balance. I agree."
Taissa nods to accept the argument, "There is a small amount of risk. However, one does not achieve without striving against challenges. Even a simple pass over could help us prepare for victory."
She will turn to the only member of the group smaller than Kayla, "Getting a bird's-eye view would be very valuable. Will you help scout?"
Taissa shares the information she has gotten. "I can be quiet, especially when I'm with others."
Taissa takes a moment to heal her wounds and restore Cimri to consciousness.
As Cimri comes around, Taissa will be right there before her. "Your service is not over yet." After that she will search and bind the sheriff, including checking for magic.
She will then drag the unconscious Sheriff back for proper punishment. Reporting in, she hears the Baron's orders. "It shall be done, My Lord." She will ignore Cruor's comments until the Baron shows offense. With that she enters a meditative state. She focuses to seek out the information they need.
"Where can the rebels be found?"
As she nimbly dodges the axes, she strikes in with her mace again. Between knowing her enemy and focusing Asmodeus' wrath, it seems to be a solid hit. "Why do you persist in opposing those superior to you?"
She smiles, "Not bad, but let's see how you deal with pain on top of your fear." She steps back and invokes the infernal will.
I'm still waiting to hear if my last attack hit.
She races after the sheriff, swinging her mace with divinely-augmented fury. as she swings, she whispers, "One cannot flee from the First's wrath"
Oh, I'm thinking about it. I assume no third party stuff? Gestalt would be better than mythic to me for a meatgrinder.
I got a little messed up too, but I think I've cleared it up. There are two main foes - the werebear bartender upstairs and the sheriff who has run out the window.
-----
With a studied eye, she takes a moment to observe the sheriff and to focus Asmodeus' wrath against her. Like Appula, she strikes to disable, not kill. After all, somebody wanted a skin.
This week is going to be pretty crazy. Lots of meetings at work, and juggling termite tenting, prep and taking care of the dogs in my off time. I'm not sure how much time I'll have, so please robot me as needed.
Taissa catches Appula's eye during the fight and gives her a quick gesture to step over into flank when she can.
Taissa will move to get as many enemies within 30' as possible and call them out. "Your insurrection is meaningless. Your painful deaths will serve as an example of the fate of all rebels. "
Nobody expects the werebear inquisition!
Updated as well. Let's go get us a bearskin rug. Since lycanthropes revert on death, we'll need to capture it and skin it alive. Sounds like fun.
"A good way for us to learn each others' styles." she says with a smile. She'll draw her mace as they head out. At seeing them, she will call out, "The power of Cheliax bows to no mere beast."
Taissa smiles, "I can help scout. I'm not bad at sneaking, and better with others around. Darkness is not a problem." She hefts her mace, "And taking somebody alive for questioning is something I do well."
Taissa stiffens for a moment as seeing Patronicus's aura of good, but relaxes at the wink. Such concealment is common enough, and smart protection in some cases. There is a nod and a pleasant smile at Kayla as she enters. Though she refrains from grabbing her. After all, every person in this room is a known killer. She follows along the information, "As we come closer to the site, I can find out more by diving the rebel's activities. I can help with scouting as well. Once we know more, we'll know best how to take her and her group down."
Of course you aren't the intimidator. You are the one who looks cute. This means that they are all going to pay attention to us scary types while you silently kill them from behind. That's teamwork!
Hello everybody! Good to be here. I think this will work well. I like what I see so far. Especially Miss Adorable Death. It looks to be a half female groups and there are a lot of us humans here. Yep, a bunch of humans sitting around doing human things. I did want to specifically bring up something. We have two intimidators now. And if the Lucky Halfling is going for damnation feats on a Cha-based caster, he'll be a third intimidator. I look at this as more of a cool theme than stepping on people's toes, but I do want to hear if anybody has any issues. Especially in an evil game. I've had plenty of games where player problems led to problems with the games. I want to know that any in-character dysfunction is just in character and player issues get talked about OOC. Fortunately intimidation stacks. If they are already shaken, it extends the duration. I think that the +5 DC only counts when the same person intimidates the same target, so multiple people should be able to scare the target and keep them with that nice -2 penalty.
When Taissa entered the room, she was wearing ordinary travelling clothes - the kind a merchant might wear. But within this secure place she runs her hands down her arms and her clothing changes to black velvet with red trim. It is the vestment of an Asmodean inquisitor, clothing only worn among those who have earned a level of trust. She has the pale skin of Chelaxian heritage, but no obvious features of any of the noble houses. In contrast, her sharp eyes are nearly as black as her shoulder-length hair. She kneels to Razalglo, showing her fealty to his infernal authority. At his nod, she rises and pours herself a deep red shiraz from the table. Though at first glance one might expect her to be cold, she makes pleasant small talk until everybody arrives, though she occasionally appears a little distracted. When it comes time for introductions she smiles to the group, "I am Taissa Hellseeker." The name is pronounced Hell's Seeker. "I hunt those who threaten the First and his interests on this world. I use words, weapons, magic and skill. Whatever is needed to bring pain and fear to those who oppose us. I look forward to working with you." |
