Tarquin throws a bomb..but it misses the swarm as they skitter out of the way and it lands at Tarquin;s own feet splashing some cold stuff all over him (Reflex save for half damage - DC and damage need to be provided by Tarquin) freezing his toes off. As well as doing some damage to a few of the beetles
init
Seinto, Nivik
Beetles
You guys again

Tarquin throws a frostbomb on the floor and it freezes of a bunch of the small beetles
Nivik then summons a ball of flame in front of the party and as soon as it appears you can almost see the air ignite, a HUGE sheet of flames rushes down the entire corridor as a not yet detected pocket of gas which was accumulating in the ceiling ignites.
Reflex save DC 14 for half
It instantly burns the remaining beetles to a crisp

As soon as the burst of fire hits Hawk immediately ends the lifelink, not wanting to commit possible sucide by absorbing more wounds then he can handle. He will re-establish the link once the dust (and fire) has settled.
Well, that was... unexpected. Hawk says after he ducks some of the flames, feeling his flesh singed.
Just a moment
Hawk then concentrates and sends a couple pulses of healing through the area.

(Direct quote from the scenario;)
It should be obvious that the prince came from the intact tunnel when he floated by this point.
(Seems they don't expect anyone to float downstream through a blocked tunnel)
When you travel east from the sewer junction, you soon reach another intersection where a minor sewer line flows into the main line from the south. Graffiti covers much of the walls here, most of it simple drawings. Prominent among them is a large stylized drawing of a wyvern in shiny gray paint (signifying that the Steel Wyvern’s claim this territory). Also among them is an image of a skull crawling with bugs and an arrow pointing back to the west (a warning about the dangerous insects at the previous junction), and a representation of a beggar’s bowl holding a coin and a key with an arrow pointing to the south. Underneath the picture of the bowl is the word “Almsman.”

It's easy to find and follow these markings. Similar markings are visible at every intersection throughout the sewers beyond this point, making it easy to navigate to the sanctuary.
Ahead a faint light glimmers in the dark. Slowly it resolves into a crude lantern held by a toothless old beggar who holds a chair leg in his other hand. Beside him stands a scrawny youth, similarly armed but obviously terrified. Behind the two derelicts is an open door bearing the symbol of the beggar’s bowl, coin, and key.
The old man eyes you warily as you approach. He says, “If yer intentions be peaceful, Abadar makes you welcome.”

I don't think he wants you to literally meet a god. Hawk chuckles and approaches greetings the man.
We are searching for something that was rumored to be down here. A portal of sorts and are hoping that this will turn out to be more then a fools errand. You seem to know the tunnels down here and have made markings of some of the dangers. Do you know of what I speak?
|
|
The old man scratches his head
"I ain't go a clue about whom you speak..maybe the Almsman knows."
The old man and the kid step aside so you can enter through the open door.
Beyond the door, a short flight of steps leads up into what appears to be the basement crypt of a church of Abadar.
Perhaps two dozen beggars huddle among sarcophagi, some sleeping, some haggling over bits of junk or scraps of food laid out on blankets.
A tall man in clean robes wearing a plain copper mask walks among them. As you enter he regards you coolly and says, “If you respect this sanctuary, I offer you what sanctuary I can. Otherwise, begone!”

Hawk repeats his speech. Remaining calm and looking around at the wounded.

If you have sick or wounded that need attending to I would be happy to assist.

"A portal you say?"
He seems to think
"Can't say that I have. I'd appreciate any help you can provide for the wounded though..I'd like to get them out of here within the next hour or 2 ..I don't want them around when the trouble starts"
|

" A gang of local thugs will show up in roughly 2 hours to extort some racketeering money out of me, which I do not intend to pay. I do know a little about the man named Gandros....You lot look you can handle yourself in a fight..maybe we can make a deal here. You get those thugs of my back..for good. and I will tell you what I know about Gandros."

The Sarcophagi are fixed to the floor and can't be moved. The beggars are all going to leave - those able to move on their own helping those who can't. The doors to the north are locked and the Alsman doesn't want to unlock them. The doors to the south (which exit to the sewers) can be closed and barricade - if you can find something to barricade it with.

If anyone is physically injured Hawk will channel healing
If they have food, Hawk will make sure it's at least clean and healthily, even if it won't do much for the taste.
Hawk will also mundanely treat wounds, poisons and diseases. If Hawk notes that anyone is infected with filth fever he will provide a tonic that was picked up earlier .
Is anyone willing to help fight for what they believe in? Hawk asks. He will loan his morningstar to anyone willing. He also has a scroll of sanctuary he will hand over if there is any cleric willing to help if they wish to participate in combat in a non-offensive roll.

"I never turn away from the opportunity to bash a couple of thugs." Tarquin says.
Tarquin will pull out his lab and concoct another mutagen.
