Hammurabi takes a 5 foot step away from the hobgoblins and picks up a large handful of sand or street dirt, he then spins around tossing the dust, to see if any settles on the invisible form of the sister, if she has advanced, he will also look for foot steps/listen for an invisible approach.
"Serpent of the rainbow, let me sense the unseen"
"Enough!" Skittle yells, and with a growl, he slices his blades at Tanish's lower legs.
Attack 1d20=20+2=22, Damage 1d6=6+1=7
Attack 1d20=1+2=3, Damage 1d4=3+1=4
Confirm Crit:
1d20=15+2=17, 1d6=2+1=3
Bedu quickly moves round the back of Hammarubi, scimitar back into scabbard, and down the wall , "Sister, oh Sister I have your precious amulet and your ugly men as useless as you are scared and in hiding. Come dance with me for this. Or shall we go to the door and gain the treasure for ourselves, ha ha ha!"
Round 6 (in progress):
Hammurabi casts around for signs of the Cerulean Sister, but is unable to detect her. Skittle leaps up and slashes Tanish's legs with his blades, causing the man to hiss in pain. Bedu moves to the side and taunts the hidden Cerulean Sister.
One of the Legionnaires brings his flail down hard on Indo's head , while the second one sidesteps in front of Indo to get to Bedu. The Legionnaire whips his flail at Bedu's leg, but is unable to trip the stout dwarf. Tanish turns his own blades against Skittle, striking the gnome with both his rapier and dagger. Skittle slumps to the ground with a groan as Tanish puts his back to the wall.
Liet immediately calls upon the god-kings for aid, sending holy energy through Skittle's body to heal his wounds. "My friends, I will soon be unable to heal any more of your wounds," Liet says through gritted teeth. "We must finish this quickly."
Lotus moves in to strike the legionair from behind and sinks her new masterwork sword through the gaps in the hobgoblins armor, hopefully violently ending his life.
Hearing Liet's plea Hammurabi's stomach churns, he is terrified of casting so close to a member of the sisterhood, he once fled his beloved home due to cowardice, but he has changed, he now has the coutal's guidance. He has friends in danger, real friends, people who have resucued him, and taken him in as one of their own, with a firm jaw, Hammurabi flourishes his glaive and forcefully palm stirkes the air in front of him, a wave of concussive force flies towards the hobgoblin closet him .
"I will hide no longer!
Indo sees the man step toward his dwarven friend. Despite his focus on the fight in front of him, he has time to reach behind with the dagger and pierce his adversary. I don't think so, my friend.
Skittle crumples with barely a whimper as Tanish's blade runs him through, but thanks to the help of Liet, he regains consciousness. The angry gnome (ooh, good bar name!) comes to, only to find Tanish has moved out of his reach. With some effort, he drops his kukri and draws a dagger, and then throws at it the man.

As the Legionnaire steps towards Bedu, Indo stabs him with his dagger. A moment later, Lotus moves up behind him and pierces through his armor with her sword. The hobgoblin groans and crumples to the ground.
Indo turns to finish the legionaire next to him. As he does so, Bedu notices the sizable gash in his left side. The loos of blood appears to affect his swing as he misses the legionaire widely and stumbles a bit.
Indo assumes a defensive posture , but seems woozy.
Indo swings at the Legionnaire next to him, but misses him, woozy from lack of blood.
Perception (hearing) DC 14:
Round 7 (in progress):
"I will hide no longer!" Hammurabi cries, and an invisible fist thuds into the sole remaining Legionnaire. Still on the ground, Skittle draws a knife and hurls it at Tanish, thudding into the man's leg.
Bedu gives up on his plan seeing the way Indo is bobbing and weaving. He casts his last healing spell on the warrior.
"By the last genie princess's harem and all her houri's stop these wounds!"
Then Bedu moves back next to Hammarubi.
Hearing chanted prayer at the far end of the alley, Lotus cries out in desperation: The Sister is casting over there!
DC 14 Perception +4 check (+5 (2 ranks), -1 (wis)) (1d20+4=21)
Skittle searches the ground around him, picks up his sword & kukri, stands back up, and throws the smaller blade at the center of Tanish's chest, all while mumbling under his breath.
Attack 1d20=17+5-4 (improvising thrown weapon) =18, Damage 1d6=4+1=5

Bedu calls upon the last genie princess's harem to heal Indo's wounds as the last Legionnaire turns and faces the warrior, hitting Indo with a glancing blow from his flail.
"You may think you have won today," the Cerulean Sister calls out to you from the rear of the alley. "But I can assure you, this is not over. The amulet will be mine. You cannot defy the Rani or the Cerulean Sisterhood for long. You cannot deny Demise, and that is just what I will be - YOUR demise."
"Tanish, come!"
Tanish salutes with his rapier and sketches a bow in your direction, then hops off the roof and runs down the alley. Demise's voice addresses the remaining Crimson Legionnaire: "Bring me the amulet if you survive. Your death will be your penalty for failure."

"Damn," Skittle says as he collapses back to the ground. Looking over at the others, he adds, "Indo! Do you need me to come over their and save your skin? Split 'em in half already!"
Liet draws his mace and moves up to attack the Legionnaire, but his wing goes wide.
"I know, Father!" Skittle yells at the sky.
Lotus hops onto the roof that Tanish just left and comes up armed and dangerous behind the remaining legionaire. From that position she attempts to painfully insert her short short into the flesh of the hobgoblin. If she can't finish him, surely Indo can.
"Get Tanish, we need information!" Bedu yells in frustration.
Hammurabi will cast expiditious retreat from his glaive and pusue Tanish
"the rainbow serpent flies swift Bedu, I shall pursue"
Indo turns his head in the direction of the Sister's voice. Barking out a few quick words, his eyes glow an azure blue and he quickly scans the back of the alley-way.
Indo steps away from the legionaire, focused on the Cerulean Sister as she taunts his friends.
Lotus moves up behind the last Legionnaire, skewering him before he has the chance to react to his mistress's command (or was it threat?). He silently drops to the ground.
Indo spits out a few arcane words and his blue-glowing eyes scan the rear of the alley, but he can find no traces of magic or anyone left there.
"Get Tanish, we need information!" Bedu yells in frustration.
"The rainbow serpent flies swift Bedu, I shall pursue," Hammurabi responds, casting a spell. He tears off down the alley in pursuit of Tanish, and disappears around the corner.
Hammurabi:
I'll go after him. the rogue calls back to her companions after having finished off the final hobgoblin.
"Right, good Hammarubi, Lotus, we will not be staying long so make it quick. That Sister has gone for help and maybe to seal the city."
Bedu draws out a scroll of healing from his belt and whispers the words of power to Skittle. Barber's healing touch=10pts
Then the dwarf begins to loot the hobgoblins for gold and any clues to their unit or who they were working for. All other valuables disappear quickly. He talks as he works.
"Time is of the essence. They know who we are and what we have done. The authorities will be searching for us as agents against the Rani and the Sisterhood. Tanish can identify us too. We are all outlaws. I intend to take this amulet and the map and find some way to clear my name of wrongdoing. It will mean leaving the city and entering the jungle but that may be a good thing for now."
He gets up again. "Somehow I do not believe that the Sister would have let us live had we handed the amulet over. Had she given me gold then I would have felt different. But no she wanted this key and our future meant nothing."
Bedu palms out of his pocket the amulet for all to see.
He eventually gives up staring at it. "So who is coming? Liet, Indo, Skittle?"
"King Tyrant, grant me the aspect of your size and strength, resemble to me your intimidating stature" Moving to block the alley exit from Tanish Hammurabi menacingly looks down at the pathetic Tanish "Now little one, where were you running off to, I believe the Barber Bedu would like to give you a close shave, free of charge of course, lay down and quit your running and maybe you will live to see tommorow". Not sure if I can make an intimidate check to make him surrender
Intimidate 17-1=16.
While the spell is still available, I look over the trinkets Bedu picks up, nodding at the ones that bear enchantments.
Bedu, we knew this journey may take us into the jungle anyway. Allow me to be your guide, if we can find no other.
"King Tyrant, grant me the aspect of your size and strength, resemble to me your intimidating stature" Moving to block the alley exit from Tanish Hammurabi menacingly looks down at the pathetic Tanish "Now little one, where were you running off to, I believe the Barber Bedu would like to give you a close shave, free of charge of course, lay down and quit your running and maybe you will live to see tommorow".

Hammurabi:
Hammurabi sees the sight in the street and realises he has no other choice, he looks Tanish in the eyes and then turns around and walks back into the alley back to his companions to warn them they best be getting out of the city and soon. "I know the jungle well, I have hid there for years it is just sad, I must hide once again so soon"
"Tanish give you the slip in the crowds?"
"No Bedu, he put a knife to the throat of an innocent, I could not risk blood shed on my stubborness, Tanish will get what is coming to him, the Rainbow Serpent will see to that!" Hammurabi gives Bedu an apologetic look, but he values freedom and life above all else, and the woman in the market did not deserve to be harassed "Come master barber, I belive the sanctity of the jungle will prove to be a rewarding break from the hustle and bustle of your shop"
"One more reason to wish an unhappy and fruitless life on Tanish. I would have done the same as you did. The jungles it is. Somewhere I did not expect to travelling to so soon."
"We are all outlaws. I intend to take this amulet and the map and find some way to clear my name of wrongdoing. It will mean leaving the city and entering the jungle but that may be a good thing for now."
Skittle perks up under Bedu's healing touch, and then his eyes light up and he smiles when he hears mention of the jungle. "Sounds about right to me. I've had enough of this city and it's catacombs anyway. Besides, it's been too long since I carved up some monkey goblins."
Coming back with Hammurabi, Lotus is quiet as the others discuss to go into the jungle. Desperation almost overcomes her as she realises she will have to go with the others and leave the city that she grew up in. To come back, we must end the reign of the sisterhood. I have come to see that, and so must the others. A resigning sigh leaves her young mouth.
"I rely on you all to get us through the jungle. Quickly what do we need to buy? food? drink? trinkets for the monkey goblins? We will have to leave this place today. Now is the time for everyone to have the wisdom of the Sphinx so that we are out of Muiu fast."
Quickly going through the Crimson Legionnaires' bodies, you find the following: 3 suits of crimson lamellar armor, 3 heavy wooden shields (emblazoned with the Crimson Legion's arms), 3 flails, 3 light crossbows (with about 50 or so bolts), 9 gp, and 24 sp.
"So we find a place to rest up, and in the morning kit up and leave. we could pick a random inn, or sleep in the catacombs or perhaps have a word with Pindara? Unless anyone knows of another good place to sleep?
