"I would hope not," the woman says. "So are you going to tell me what you're doing here? I'd rather avoid bloodshed."
Jul 16, 2025 10:06 pm
"Well that is welcome news, since we'd rather not shed your blood. We came here to stop the attacks on Sandpoint, so are you an ally of these goblins?" Wess ask, aggressively tightening the grip on his axe

The woman shrugs. "A necessary evil," she says. "They are stupid and cruel creatures. Luckily they keep to the upper floor."

She pauses and looks you over. "Though assuming that's not your own blood stains, I guess they won't annoy anymore. All I have to endure just to study some Thassilonian ruins."

Chigaru is wary around this woman. "And the goblins just let you wander among them? They spoke of a human woman who is behind all of this. That wouldn't be you, perhaps?"

The woman lets out a little laugh. "Goodness no. That's Nualia," she says. "I'm Lyrie Akenja. I was hired to translate the language. Didn't know about any revenge plans or that goblins would be part of it."
Jul 17, 2025 2:56 pm
"Hired by who, or whom, or what?" Wess ask in frustration

"Nualia of course," the woman says.

"The monster lady!" Grim angrily remarks, making his left hand into a claw like shape, before placing it firmly back on his weapon.

"Is she here? Who else is behind that door? Best to tell us or there'll be more than just goblin blood spilled." Grim states menacingly, taking a step toward the woman.

Saldrina bites her lower lip hard enough to draw blood. Seeing Wess and Grim tense up, she prepares another spell.

Lyrie
"You uncouth little troll. You think you can threaten me!" she exclaims, and her arms start moving to cast a spell, and she disappears from view in front of you. You can hear the step of her feet running towards the west.

You can see there's a secret door in the room she came from that's hanging ajar. She has reached the stairs going down.
OOC:
She cast invisibility, so you receive a -6 to any check to affect her with anything. In addition she has the Dodge edge, so that's another -2 to any ranged attacks. She also has the Extraction edge, so assuming anyone was near enough for it, you don't get a free attack.

You can all act.

"Well she didn't attack us, so I consider that a victory. Just let her go, my hot-headed friend. She is not an active threat and we know her name and her activity. We can worry about her later if necessary. We should finish our business here first."

Saldrina hurls a blast of compressed air after her, not really expecting to do anything. The bolt hits the far wall harmlessly.
OOC:
Damn! Forgot to add the penalties, so that's a 3 to hit.

Grim stops short of the secret door and turns around, "What further business do we have if we're not following her?"

Grim knows he's caught up to the lady from the simple fact that he runs into her, just as a bolt of air hit the wall next to her.
OOC:
Anyone else wants to do anything?

Wess follows, not wanting Lyrie get away

Khel raised his eyebrows when he heard the woman say something about 'Thassilonian ruins'. Wait, someone is already beating him in his pursuit of knowledge. The fact distracted and disoriented him momentarily so that he couldn't react quickly as she cast the spell to disappear. He came out of his confusion and ran with Wess, "Damn! Crafty magic, but I think I can undo it."

OOC:
Is there anywhere we haven't yet explored on this first level?
Chigaru shrugs at everyone chasing the woman and decides to follow, but in the rear. He doesn't feel like putting his life on the line in what he considers a fool's errand.

Lyrie keeps running, and you can hear her shoes hitting the steps of the stairs. You can also hear her cast a spell on herself, to Saldrina it sounds similar to her protection spell.
OOC:
There was a door to the south in the room with drawings and the door to the west where Lyrie came from. She has run through a secret door that leads to a stair going downstairs. Will handle this in encounter mode, so will draw action cards for you. Will update post soon with order.

She drew the King and gets to act first, all of you can act now.

Khel ran following Grimwulf and Wess until he entered the long empty room. Confused about whether the spellcaster was there or not, he started chanting his dispelling magic.
OOC:
Casting dispel with +2 modifier to get a medium template area. Spending a benny to reroll.
