Hakka nods to both Ylera and Charlotte. "They may know we are coming, but its best to stay together. Remember the poison the beasts possess."
The woman looks at Ylera, oddly for a moment, and then takes a deep sigh. When Thomas' gentle hands touch her to examine her eyes flutter open and she says, "I...I do feel better. Thank you. What WAS that thing...and why did it do that to me?"
"It would be best for you to head to the manor house and stay safe. You should be all right now. But our job is not yet done."

"And if you see anything that's not human, elf,dwarf, or in between, scream as though your life depended on it."
The woman nods at you all, gets up off the floor with whatever help is offered, and runs out the open doorway into the daylight.
Hakka stands, looking to the others. "Let's clear the darkness from this house and get rid of the rest of the vermin. Then we can ask our employer why he had Candles of Darkness in this house." Hakka pulls draws his sword and listens closely for the sounds of more Xill.
Nodding in agreement, Charlotte will extinguish the remaining candles with mage hand.

Thomas, Hakka, Charlotte, and Ylera, you all hear the tinkle of glass. A sound of surprise, a fleshy thunk, and a squeal of pain all follow in the first room to the left of the entrance.
Ellesar focusses his aim and sends Varosh, his Wolf companion, to scout the rest of the property, stealthily.

Varosh Stealth:
Also, am I within range to gain the benefits of Point Blank Shot?
You are within 30'. Although the shots that missed, missed by more than 1 :)
Exactly where are you sending the wolf? Around the small house or in to it?
That's fine with me. If it's an animal that can understand you and has developed a bond I'm of the same mind. It would be smarter than your average animal. And wolves are pretty smart to begin with.

Ellesar, the Xill you managed to sink an arrow into, roars and runs towards you.
The Xill reaches through the now open window frame with its jaws wide open.
Which misses you, spittle barely landing on you.
The rest of you hear the roar and a sound of snapping jaws.

If i have the space, i will take a 5-foot step back and fire. Otherwise, i will draw my curveblade and attack.

For curveblade
Ellesar snorts in disgust at the fluids coming from the thing's mouth. He takes a small step back and fires rapidly, point blank.
His first two arrows somehow go wide, maybe the passing clouds distracted him momentarily, but his third arrow strikes true and lands in the creatures upper left shoulder.
The beast howls in pain.
The other Xill goes to the door leading to the hallway and slams it shut.
The rest of you hear the sounds of arrows and one fleshy thunk followed by the scream and ending with the door slamming shut in your faces.

Hakka stares at the other two Xill in both disbelief and disgust. "What ungodly thing has drawn a hive to this gentle house?" He moves in to attack the one closest to him, shouting "Begone from this place, agents of evil!"

Following behind Hakka, Charlotte moves to engage the other Xill.
Blasted contract said "A Xill", not "A hive of Xill."
Hakka's blow rocks the Xill and it is visibly intimidated by the half-orc.

Not sure if I can get into a flanking position with Hakka. If I can just add 2 to attack.
Be gone foul spawn!
Thomas gets around to the other side of the creature and attacks it, his scimitar scoring a line across one of the muscular arms.
The Xill at the window sees that the archer is out of range and he moves over to help his brother Xill. He moves to the other side of Thomas, flanking him.

Normal attacks

GM, Ellesar
Normally you're group is ABSOLUTELY correct. In the case of the Mythic Ability, you can take an attack as a swift action and then do your normal round action(s). In this case, Ellesar took an attack as a swift due to Surprise Strike, and then took a full-round action to full attack.
Mythic has some fun things to it :)
Feel free to post again with any questions!
Thomas, luckily, shakes off the feeling of paralysis creeping over his body.
At the same time as the Xill bites into the holy man, a storm of arrows flies at the beast. Two of the arrows sink deeply into the creature's shoulder and thigh.
The other Xill screams and launches an impressive display of attacks against Hakka.

Ouch. Poor Hakka, i'll try and kill it so it lets go. i think the GM is hacking though.......JK. I know how these random die rollers can get stuck in a run. it seems like Charlotte and I are having the same problem.
Is there a position where I can draw a line between both Xill that does not intersect either of my comrades?
I'm going to cast a Slumber Hex on the other Xill (the one outside of my teammates' flank. Will Save DC 18
Hakka lets the blows resound off his skin and armor, merely smiling as the creature wraps him in his claws. "You want to dance close? Hope you like the change in tempo!" Hakka drops his scimitar and attempts to deliver a right hook with his fist still in a gauntlet.

Ylera's hex causes the second Xill to cross its eyes momentarily, then fall down in sleep. Snores punctuate each breath.
Hakka punches ineffectually at the Xill holding him, but Charlotte steps in blazing with magical energies. She stabs into the creatures neck just above its collar bone and pierces through the back. The Xill lets go of Hakka, making gurgling sounds, while Charlotte—whose eyes reflect her anger in red—gives a vicious horizontal swipe that sends the head and three fingers rolling across the floor.
The head of the Xill comes to rest on its ear, a horrible caricature of death on its face.

"Is anyone injured?, my primary practise in the Craft is that of healing. Although I do have some of the destructive arts my mother taught me." As she says the last, the revealed half-elf does not fully suppress a slight grimmace. At this point, a raven flies in alighting on a lamp next to her. "Mistress, you have more than fulfilled the contract you signed as Lyra. Can we not leave from this place?" The woman thinks a moment, then answers in manner more hesitant than she was in her human guise. "Sophia, we can not in good conscience turn our back on this infestation. I would however have words with our employer once this grim task is done."
The cloaked figure outside the window lowers his bow. As you study him, you catch the glint of fine chainmail under his cloak and outerwear. An ornate sword also hangs at his side. He lowers his hood, revealing an Elven male with green eyes and long black hair pulled back in a ponytail. "Indeed, young one, a serious discussion does appear to be in order. Might I suggest we permanently silence the one under your spell first? I have my hunting partner scouting the remainder of the property for any other signs of infestation."
Thomas takes a quick look around the room.
...he then remembers that he has to open his eyes.
I don't see anything that could help us in here, let me check the hallway.
Hakka settles on his feet, bending down to pick up his scimitar before looking at the newcomer. "If I spoke the language of the Xill, I would like to question them. This would be the fourth Xill we have encountered. The master of the house said the servant's quarters were the source, so a thorough search is an order."

"You have a good point there. Unfortunately, I'm not fluent in the dark words of the lower planes. I think we should begin said search immediately." Ellesar pauses for a moment, then looks over his shoulder, whistles and calls out (in elven) "Varosh, return to me!" (back to common) "I suppose an introduction is in order. I am Ellesar, Master Hunter and Ranger in service of Her Majesty Queen Telandia Edasseril."
