Thanephos walks into the room, looking around before bowing low to the high councillor and walking in her direction. Milady, it's a pleasure to see you here. I hope you are doing well?

Okie dokie, sounds like we want to ask the church to research it for us, so let's do that.
M Human Arcane Duelist Bard 3, Marshal 1 (HP 17/28 | AC:19| T:14 | FF:15 | CMB: 4 | CMD:18 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+8 | Will:+4| Init:+8 | Perc:+6 | Speed 30)
I really do, because the sword is practically useless to us with our party makeup, and having a flaming bow would be a great damage buff. You guys think it's worth it to try and learn about it?
M Human Arcane Duelist Bard 3, Marshal 1 (HP 17/28 | AC:19| T:14 | FF:15 | CMB: 4 | CMD:18 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+8 | Will:+4| Init:+8 | Perc:+6 | Speed 30)
He already knows that I don't know the sword's history, so either someone can make it up, or I can tell him about Thanephos' story, or we can just leave. Thoughts?
M Human Arcane Duelist Bard 3, Marshal 1 (HP 17/28 | AC:19| T:14 | FF:15 | CMB: 4 | CMD:18 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+8 | Will:+4| Init:+8 | Perc:+6 | Speed 30)
Thanephos looks at him intently, This sword was retrieved from an undead who had stolen a holy relic of great power. You say that your bow reminds you of the good that you've done? Think of what good could still be done with it. I'm afraid I don't know the sword's full story, and for that I apologize, but this sword just feels different. It feels like it has a history.
M Human Arcane Duelist Bard 3, Marshal 1 (HP 17/28 | AC:19| T:14 | FF:15 | CMB: 4 | CMD:18 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+8 | Will:+4| Init:+8 | Perc:+6 | Speed 30)
He owes me 3 copper from cards a long time ago, but that's a long story...
Thanephos cracks a smile at the old man's response, then sits down opposite Engelworth. I'd heard that you happen to have a magical bow, and I was wondering if you were interested in trading it for a weapon I brought back from a recent exploit. Flaming greatsword.
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
M Human Arcane Duelist Bard 3, Marshal 1 (HP 17/28 | AC:19| T:14 | FF:15 | CMB: 4 | CMD:18 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+8 | Will:+4| Init:+8 | Perc:+6 | Speed 30)
My bad, I thought we were waiting on someone when I could've pushed the game along.
Thanephos first heads to the bar, collecting a round of drinks for his companions, as well as something of his guide's choice, then walks towards the man at the back.
Sir Engelworth?
M Human Arcane Duelist Bard 3, Marshal 1 (HP 17/28 | AC:19| T:14 | FF:15 | CMB: 4 | CMD:18 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+8 | Will:+4| Init:+8 | Perc:+6 | Speed 30)
He shrugs again, It was what needed to be done. Maybe not the brightest thing to do, but no hero I've read about was renowned for always making safe decisions. Either way, it's in the past.
M Human Arcane Duelist Bard 3, Marshal 1 (HP 17/28 | AC:19| T:14 | FF:15 | CMB: 4 | CMD:18 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+8 | Will:+4| Init:+8 | Perc:+6 | Speed 30)
Thanephos shrugs, I didn't overly care. He insulted my friend and I responded appropriately.
M Human Arcane Duelist Bard 3, Marshal 1 (HP 17/28 | AC:19| T:14 | FF:15 | CMB: 4 | CMD:18 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+8 | Will:+4| Init:+8 | Perc:+6 | Speed 30)
Thanephos shrugs, Well thanks for sharing your little story. Now move along and leave her alone.
Intimidate: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

His bow leaps to hand before the man even notices, and an arrow is nocked in the blink of an eye. He speaks lazily, despite how much effort it must take for his thin frame to draw such a large bow, Step back. Now.
M Human Arcane Duelist Bard 3, Marshal 1 (HP 17/28 | AC:19| T:14 | FF:15 | CMB: 4 | CMD:18 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+8 | Will:+4| Init:+8 | Perc:+6 | Speed 30)
Am I with them right now? I'm not sure if we're separated and I'm with the woman alone, or if we're in a group.
Yes, I just realized the implications of the first option after writing it.
M Human Arcane Duelist Bard 3, Marshal 1 (HP 17/28 | AC:19| T:14 | FF:15 | CMB: 4 | CMD:18 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+8 | Will:+4| Init:+8 | Perc:+6 | Speed 30)
I wish I could take offense, but I'm afraid that's impossible around you. If it would suit you, I would be happy to treat you to a drink once we arrive.
M Human Arcane Duelist Bard 3, Marshal 1 (HP 17/28 | AC:19| T:14 | FF:15 | CMB: 4 | CMD:18 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+8 | Will:+4| Init:+8 | Perc:+6 | Speed 30)
Thanephos' smile grows, I'll check there, thank you. I'm afraid that I've never been there before, would you terribly mind showing me the way?
M Human Arcane Duelist Bard 3, Marshal 1 (HP 17/28 | AC:19| T:14 | FF:15 | CMB: 4 | CMD:18 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+8 | Will:+4| Init:+8 | Perc:+6 | Speed 30)
Thanephos smiles, I sincerely hope so, but in the meantime I'm stuck with this big old greatsword that I'm just carrying around. I don't suppose you'd know who may be willing to make a trade?
diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
M Human Arcane Duelist Bard 3, Marshal 1 (HP 17/28 | AC:19| T:14 | FF:15 | CMB: 4 | CMD:18 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+8 | Will:+4| Init:+8 | Perc:+6 | Speed 30)
Oh yeah, true. Did we have any success in finding the items we were looking to trade for?
M Human Arcane Duelist Bard 3, Marshal 1 (HP 17/28 | AC:19| T:14 | FF:15 | CMB: 4 | CMD:18 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+8 | Will:+4| Init:+8 | Perc:+6 | Speed 30)
-Yes, it includes the 500gp reward
-There aren't +1s today, but equipment has to have a +1 bonus(even if it does nothing) in order to further upgrade it. That's why the flaming weapon is so rare, cause it's technically a +2 even if there's only the flaming that actually gives a bonus.
M Human Arcane Duelist Bard 3, Marshal 1 (HP 17/28 | AC:19| T:14 | FF:15 | CMB: 4 | CMD:18 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+8 | Will:+4| Init:+8 | Perc:+6 | Speed 30)
Assuming that I can do multiple, sure.

Lets look for a longbow, since that's something that both Alexis and Thanephos would want. In addition to the other items that we have yet to distribute/sell, we'll each receive 5906 gold(if Rollynd isn't receiving a share, if he is then we all receive 4825).
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
M Human Arcane Duelist Bard 3, Marshal 1 (HP 17/28 | AC:19| T:14 | FF:15 | CMB: 4 | CMD:18 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+8 | Will:+4| Init:+8 | Perc:+6 | Speed 30)
Now that we're back in the city, could we go about looking for a way to trade the greatsword for a weapon we could use?
M Human Arcane Duelist Bard 3, Marshal 1 (HP 17/28 | AC:19| T:14 | FF:15 | CMB: 4 | CMD:18 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+8 | Will:+4| Init:+8 | Perc:+6 | Speed 30)
Thanephos nods thoughtfully as Rollynd shares his visions, I can't speak for the rest, but any way to restore the honor of Arazni and to purge the lichdom from her corpse is a worthy cause in my eyes.
M Human Arcane Duelist Bard 3, Marshal 1 (HP 17/28 | AC:19| T:14 | FF:15 | CMB: 4 | CMD:18 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+8 | Will:+4| Init:+8 | Perc:+6 | Speed 30)
Thanephos shrugs, We have enough to carry back with us, I think we can leave without them.
M Human Arcane Duelist Bard 3, Marshal 1 (HP 17/28 | AC:19| T:14 | FF:15 | CMB: 4 | CMD:18 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+8 | Will:+4| Init:+8 | Perc:+6 | Speed 30)
Stepping further away again, Thanephos raises his bow and sends two arrows spinning towards the nearest ghoul,
Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Thanephos steps as far from the creatures as he can, concentrating for a moment as the floor beneath their feet suddenly loses all traction.
Casting Defensively: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
The 10-ft square will start diagonal to me, so I'll get the closest 2 monster. DC 14 reflex to not fall.
M Human Arcane Duelist Bard 3, Marshal 1 (HP 17/28 | AC:19| T:14 | FF:15 | CMB: 4 | CMD:18 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+8 | Will:+4| Init:+8 | Perc:+6 | Speed 30)
That first one should definitely make the DC with my aid another.
M Human Arcane Duelist Bard 3, Marshal 1 (HP 17/28 | AC:19| T:14 | FF:15 | CMB: 4 | CMD:18 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+8 | Will:+4| Init:+8 | Perc:+6 | Speed 30)
Thanephos runs after Ty and slams his weight against the door, helping Ty to force it open.
Strength Aid: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
If someone wants to aid Ty as well, that brings his DC down to 12.
M Human Arcane Duelist Bard 3, Marshal 1 (HP 17/28 | AC:19| T:14 | FF:15 | CMB: 4 | CMD:18 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+8 | Will:+4| Init:+8 | Perc:+6 | Speed 30)

Thanephos nods, By all means, I think you'd make the best use of them.
I'm taking those off of the treasury doc, so make sure you put them on your sheet.
M Human Arcane Duelist Bard 3, Marshal 1 (HP 17/28 | AC:19| T:14 | FF:15 | CMB: 4 | CMD:18 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+8 | Will:+4| Init:+8 | Perc:+6 | Speed 30)
Oh yeah, I forgot they didn't have the +1 stuff. Ty, if I were you I'd seriously consider that greatsword.
M Human Arcane Duelist Bard 3, Marshal 1 (HP 17/28 | AC:19| T:14 | FF:15 | CMB: 4 | CMD:18 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+8 | Will:+4| Init:+8 | Perc:+6 | Speed 30)

So a more compact summary assuming we sell the non-useful(armor/weapons) items to the church: 21625 in gold, and then
Flaming Greatsword, Light fortification Full Plate, Mwk silver longsword, Mwk longsword, Wands of web, detect thoughts, detect secret doors, infernal healing and acid arrow, scrolls of identify, animate rope, comprehend languages, expeditious retreat, shield, and silent image, a feather token(wind fan) and obviously the cloak.

You're my favorite GM
Also, I'm fully leveled.

Thanephos nods, We have what we needed, let's get out of here.
M Human Arcane Duelist Bard 3, Marshal 1 (HP 17/28 | AC:19| T:14 | FF:15 | CMB: 4 | CMD:18 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+8 | Will:+4| Init:+8 | Perc:+6 | Speed 30)
Thanephos cries out as Alexis drops to the floor, sending an arrow spinning through the smoke and slamming into the skeleton,

Thanephos steps closer and fires again, doing his best to shoot through the smoke,
Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

Thanephos peers through the smoke as he walks into the room, drawing and firing a blunt arrow at the Asmodean, catching the undead through a chink in his plate.
Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Just a reminder, you guys get the +1 to hit/damage from bardic. Not sure if you've included it in previous attacks.
M Human Arcane Duelist Bard 3, Marshal 1 (HP 17/28 | AC:19| T:14 | FF:15 | CMB: 4 | CMD:18 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+8 | Will:+4| Init:+8 | Perc:+6 | Speed 30)
Thanephos continues to urge on his friends and the elemental, bringing out his bow and firing at the nearer of the flaming skeletons,
Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Thanephos calls out upon seeing the skeletons, Attempt to avoid getting near them, they'll burn you simply with their proximity!
With that, he begins to urge on his friends in this upcoming battle. Bardic starting up.
M Human Arcane Duelist Bard 3, Marshal 1 (HP 17/28 | AC:19| T:14 | FF:15 | CMB: 4 | CMD:18 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+8 | Will:+4| Init:+8 | Perc:+6 | Speed 30)
History: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Thanephos stares intently at the coat of arms for a moment, then shakes his head and moves on, looking around for any signs as to which door they should take next.
Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
M Human Arcane Duelist Bard 3, Marshal 1 (HP 17/28 | AC:19| T:14 | FF:15 | CMB: 4 | CMD:18 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+8 | Will:+4| Init:+8 | Perc:+6 | Speed 30)
Thanephos fires an arrow as well, calling upon his arcane power to enhance the shot,
Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
M Human Arcane Duelist Bard 3, Marshal 1 (HP 17/28 | AC:19| T:14 | FF:15 | CMB: 4 | CMD:18 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+8 | Will:+4| Init:+8 | Perc:+6 | Speed 30)

Thanephos nods, Good enough for me.
With that, he steps forward to open the door.
Nobody has posted throughout this part of the conversation, so if someone objects then hopefully we can retcon, I'm just trying to keep things moving.
M Human Arcane Duelist Bard 3, Marshal 1 (HP 17/28 | AC:19| T:14 | FF:15 | CMB: 4 | CMD:18 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+8 | Will:+4| Init:+8 | Perc:+6 | Speed 30)
No, but I do want to make sure that you aren't going to kill someone without just reasoning. You say he imprisoned you in an attempt to enslave you? And if we help you, what will you do once he is dead?
M Human Arcane Duelist Bard 3, Marshal 1 (HP 17/28 | AC:19| T:14 | FF:15 | CMB: 4 | CMD:18 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+8 | Will:+4| Init:+8 | Perc:+6 | Speed 30)
I will not swear to aid you without more information. If you will be patient, however, then it becomes a larger possibility.
M Human Arcane Duelist Bard 3, Marshal 1 (HP 17/28 | AC:19| T:14 | FF:15 | CMB: 4 | CMD:18 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+8 | Will:+4| Init:+8 | Perc:+6 | Speed 30)
Stepping towards the elemental, Thanephos calls out, Wait! There may be another way to defeat the Asmodean without destroying the building. We can help you find him, if that will sate your need for vengeance.
M Human Arcane Duelist Bard 3, Marshal 1 (HP 17/28 | AC:19| T:14 | FF:15 | CMB: 4 | CMD:18 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+8 | Will:+4| Init:+8 | Perc:+6 | Speed 30)
Thanephos looks at the group, I'm certainly no friend of those who would imprison someone unjustly. Unless there is any reason to do otherwise, I'll open the door for them.
M Human Arcane Duelist Bard 3, Marshal 1 (HP 17/28 | AC:19| T:14 | FF:15 | CMB: 4 | CMD:18 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+8 | Will:+4| Init:+8 | Perc:+6 | Speed 30)
Thanephos steps towards the door, Who are you trying to let out? Maybe we can help if you'll tell us.
