Saldrina follows the others and delays her action until she sees the results of Khel's dispel.
Jul 23, 2025 5:58 pm
Grim holds back, waiting to see what the mage is up to.

Khel follows the sounds into a room where the ceiling is supported by two pillars. In many places the stone walls, floor, and ceiling are caked with ancient grime and soot. Alcoves in the north and south walls contain partially damaged statues of a man in robes clutching a book and a glaive.

The entire room is canted toward the west, and whatever ancient upheaval caused the complex to tilt knocked the statues from their bases so now they lean against the western walls of their alcoves.

He focuses on her invisibility, and is able to dispel it. As she turns visible, she screams out: "We're under attack! Help me!"
OOC:
Note that Khel is at exactly where 6' of movement takes you. So to be able to target her with ranged, you need to be able to move 7' (8' to target her with melee (except for Grim who is 6' away from her)).

Hearing the panic in the other wizard's voice, Grim rushes past Khel, a begrudging "Well done, mage." escaping his lips.

He lifts his maul and strikes out, before she's able to cast anything else, "No spells for you!"

Khel called at the back of Grimwulf, "Let's take her alive! We can question her!"
Jul 24, 2025 5:42 pm
Wess rushes into the room. "Didn't we already try that? Seems she's said all she's going to."
OOC:

Saldrina fights to get down the stairs to where she has a clear shot.

OOC:
If you run, you are sure to make it (need a 1 on your running die), but you receive a -2 to your trait roll. If you roll a 2 on your running die, you are close enough to either grab her on attack her (still at a -2 due to running).

Seeing as how they outnumber the woman more than five-to-one, Chigaru returns to the southern area they had not explored yet to make sure this goblin stronghold was cleared out well and good.

Wess attempts to attack the defiant mage

You can hear Lyrie's ribs break from the impact from Grim, then another wound as Wess axe slices her back.

Shalelu starts moving down the stairs.

Then Chigaru opens the southern door revealing a hallway that leads to a four way intersection. To the south another door waits, to the east it is impossible to tell how far the hallway goes from his current vantage point, but most interesting is two large stone doors leading to the west.
The doors are carved with images of horrific deformed monsters clawing their way out of pregnant women of all ancestries.
OOC:
Will draw for a new round. Lyrie is currently at 3 wounds and no bennies.

Everyone except Wess and Chigaru can act before her.

Khel shouts, "I think that is enough! We can tie her up and take her back to the sheriff. She never used offensive spells against us. I think we can atleast give her a chance to surrender rather than taking her life outright."

Responding back in equal measure, "You don't give me orders, and you're naive if you think she's not going to use her magicks against us!". With that he brings the maul down upon her once again.

Khel replied and then turned to others, "It's not about giving orders; it's about morality here! Look at her! What good would come by slaying her? Are you all going to accept this mindless slaughter?"
Jul 28, 2025 8:41 am
The wizard dodges out of the way of the maul at the last second, to her own obvious surprise. "Why don't you discuss it some more while I hide?" she says, though she sounds nervous and looks to be putting on a false front.
Jul 28, 2025 7:21 pm
Khel turned to the woman, "Look woman, I am trying to save your pitiful life here! You are obviously outmatched here. Even if you dodge and sling spells, you will be surrounded and taken down and slain. What is so much big that Nualia is offering you that you are siding with her? Do you have a personal grudge against Sandpoint? You want their residents slaughtered by goblins?"

Scowl on his face, Grim stays his hand as Khel questions her, maul at the ready however to end her life if she shows any sign of resistance.

Saldrina starts at Khel's stinging words. Her cheeks redden, and her mouth moves, but no sound issues forth. She remains silent as Khel questions the woman.

Lyrie
"I don't care about that stupid town!" she says. "I knew nothing good would come from that assault. It always brings adventurers and they have a tendency to kill first ask questions later. When you got threatening I tried to remove myself from the situation."

"I don't know what that town has done to Nualia, but her hatred for it burns with a fury I've rarely encountered. I just want to study the ruins. With my next thesis the Pathfinder's will have to accept me into their ranks! Now will you let me go?"
