Heroes, Inc. : Rasheman

(Still nothing from Murdoch, and I dont like leaving most of the players unable to act, so I'm moving this along in a way that doesnt require him to declare actions)

Maggie casts Arcane Eye and sends it in a window to aid in targeting (new round). Then she unleashes her first wave of energy balls, summoning numerous balls of lightning that surround her, and then streak into the building. The first blows the back door off its hinges, and numerous flashes are seen inside as they move towards their targets. As you all enter, she unleashes a second volley (quickened with her ring guantlet). By the rest of you ar ein range, there is no one left to kill. Amon the bodies, you find a Red Wizard with two heavily-armored Thayan Knights by his side, eight Tiger Clan warriors near the windows, notably found with thick, carved wooden wands. Murdoch senses that they are powered by an eldritch blast. Another twelve well-armed Tiger Clan warriors, seemingly reletively low-ranked, are found as well.

The Thayans were clustered around a small caulrdon, which is glowing and used to scry. In the water, a scene, apparently in the bar accross the street, is clearly visible. It is centered around Kayla, who is sitting at the bar. She is looking down, resting her head on one hand and drinking something with another. She appears to have been crying. There are four large men, not dressed in a uniform or in other distinguishing garb, but seemingly Rashemi, standing behind her. They are talking to her, but you dont know what they are saying since the scry has no audio. She seems to be trying to ignore them, and occasionally seems to look back and give short answers that you are pretty sure are some varient of "go f*ck yourself" or "leave me alone."

OCC: sorry, it was a long week-end in my part of the world & I had not internet connection...

IC: After seeing Kayla's reaction, Murdoch stirrs uneasily. "I think we need to go across the street, to check up on Kayla, and see what's going on."
 

Hmmm. Looks like our Thayan friends are well aware of who Kayla is. Naverone rumbles in their minds, sounding more grim than usual. Those Rashemi men don't look very friendly. Be careful, they could be Thayan spies.

Alethia sleeps. Thankfully, she doesn't snore.
 

Timrin says to Naverone, "Tell them whatever they do, they need to do it quickly. Those blasts will not go unnoticed. Thayan reinforcements will arrive soon."

Walking accross into the tavern, you see that things are just as you saw in the cauldron. The tavern is very crowded, which means Maggie can't use almost all her multitarget spells and Murdoch cant use an eldritch cone (though chain is fine).

Now the men are actively arguing with Kayla and the bartender, touhgh it is so loud in there you can't tell what they are saying. The lead throws a punch towards Kayla, but she slides off the bar stool, his fist sailing past her. She kicks him in he stomach, then smashes her glass on his temple. He stumbles and falls down. She takes a couple swings at the others, too, but she is far less skilled unarmed than she is with swords, and a bit wobbly. She lunges past one and he smashes a chair over her head. She stumbles, using the bar to stay up, then another breaks another chair over her and she finally goes down.

Another shoves the bartender back, but he grabs an axe from behind the counter and swings it, cutting a bit out of the man's ribs.

New round, post actions.
 

Maggie, quickly. Grab Kayla and teleport out. Help distract the thugs, then scatter as soon as she teleports out. Those blasts are going to attract the wrong kind of attention. Those thugs are most likely Thayan agents. Naverone rumbles, relaying the message as well as giving helpful advice on how to deal with the problem at hand.

I will wait for the others to post actions before she tries that. Two of the men will get free shots at her unless sometihng is done to prevent them form doing so, so it is somewhat risky.

Vitriolic eldrich chain on the one that smashed a chair on Kayla's head, the chain arcing to the other baddies. Murdoch will then use one charge of his rod of quicken, and become invisible. He then tries to circumvent the fight, and closes in on Kayla.

Telepathically, the tells the others: "make a diversion so I can get close to Kayla, and I'll dimension door out of here with her. We can then all teleport back to the temple"
 

"DEVAN!", Timrin grouses through gritted teeth. The relayed description of the scene is not to his liking.

"Have faith boy," the older cleric says. "They can handle themselves."
