PFS #30: Cassomir's Locker

[IronWolf]

Jalil sees Pavanna suffer the heavy strike from the armored man's flail and rushes forward and calls forth Sarenrae's power to bind her wounds. The wounds cease to bleed and the pain quickly fades as the last of the healing energy passes from Jalil to Pavanna.

The blue creature tries to take the opportunity to strike at the distracted Jalil but misses as another dart passes harmlessly through the air striking the floor some distance away.

A flurry of motion happens as the pathfinders move in near synchronicity. Pavanna moving closer to the blue creature, her mace circling around in an arc and crashing into the blue creature's head with a sickening thud as its eyes roll back into its head and it is knocked two feet to one side and crumples in a lifeless heap on the chamber floor.

Miryam drops her whip as Evrand's voice fills the chamber in a primal chant directed at the armored man. She draws her short sword and steps in with a plunging, downward motion of the sword and easily pierces the fallen man's armor as blood swiftly stains his armor as he screams in renewed pain.

The last of Evrand's chant finishes and the man is drawn by an intense desire to flee from his assailants though he is surrounded. Despite his pain he uses the last of his strength to begin to stand, his heavy flail in hand as he eyes the same passage Kronk fled through.


[sblock=OOC]

The armored man failed his will save and will be trying to stand to flee. This will draw AoO's from Kayleigh and Miryam. If he is still alive after those he will be moving towards the stairs behind him to move up. So for Miryam and Kayleigh, roll your AoO's and also post what your upcoming round's action will be as we move into that round.

The others - go ahead and post your normal actions for the upcoming round.

Miryam takes another stab at the man while he attempts to rise. The blow is deflected off his armor.

 

[vl.arandur]

Kayleigh is struck as the man begins shakily to rise, the fear in his eyes resonating within her, and she takes a split second to ponder the old puzzle, the conflict between justice and mercy. Surely it would be wrong to kill the man in cold blood, as he is helpless and out of his mind, enchanted by the magic of her teammate. And yet, if she lets him go, he will certainly make their mission next to impossible, running and warning his compatriots of the impending investigation.

Besides, if she doesn't go for the killing blow, they can hold him and question him, which would surely be advantageous.

And if her blow doesn't knock him out, then her teammates will surely dispatch him, relieving the burden of guilt from her shoulders.

... right?

In any case, she swings at the rising man, but turns her blade aside, hitting him broadside.

 

[IronWolf]

The armored man is up to one knee as Miryam's stab with her short sword glances off the armor. Kayleigh steps up and takes a vicious swing with her great sword striking the man with an uncharacteristic thud of the weapon, easily knocking the man off his balance and sending him into the wall where he crumples down motionless. The blow surely would have killed the armored man had Kayleigh not turned the blade to the flat.

Blood runs from the man's mouth, but faint, shallow breathing can be seen still coming from the fallen man.


[sblock=OOC]

Since Kayleigh's blow will knock the man out and she is fairly high in init going and posting her actions for the round so you can move on and handle the unconcious man as you see fit.

[JarvethDarksmith]

OOC: I'm assuming we're out of initiative then?

Seeing the man is now unconscious, Evrand turns his attention to his allies. "Pavanna, Jalil, one of you should get him stabilized. We should question him, find out just what he was up to down here, and if he knows anything of the goings-on."

 

[IronWolf]

OOC: Yep! Out of initiative feel free to move about the cabin!

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Jalil kneels beside the fallen foe and strips his helmet, arranging the much larger man in a fashion to ease his breathing and help his rest quietly . Once that is accomplished, he looks quickly around the room . . .

Scan the room for those pesky marked crates. Perception (1d20+8=19)[/sblock]

 

[vl.arandur]

As the pragmatic hustle moves about the room, Kayleigh stands where she is, sword in hand, gazing without sight at the place where her sword struck the man's head. She had been merciful. She had been merciful where she might have been an executioner. Moreover, she had been merciful without any bad consequences. No ill had come of her - not cowardice - mercy.

Then why did she hear her father's voice in her head? Why did she once again have to suffer through the funeral, the fight, the anger and betrayal and, yes, the disenfranchisement?

Nothing bad had happened... this time. There's the rub. Last time, in trying to avoid the necessity of death, she had instead brought death upon her own house. And who knew what the future consequences of this single act of cowardice - no, mercy - would be? Perhaps she had doomed them all.

She hadn't noticed that she was shaking until the sword fell from her hand, but the clatter of steel on stone snaps her out of her reverie. She picks it up, resheathing it with care and regret, and turns to her fallen foe to see what she can see.

 

[zizazat]

Pavanna approaches behind Jalill, picking up the man's flail and tossing it towards the crates in the north section of the room. She then bends down, retrieving the holy symbol of Groteus from the man. "It's a good thing we are already in the sewers, we won't have to take this very far to dispose of it."

Placing her right hand to her choker, and her left hand over her eyes Pavanna prays "Lord Asmodeus reveal to me the presence of magic, your will be done!" With a new glint in her eyes, she looks over the cleric's possessions.

"I'll be more than happy to ask him some very polite questions once he regains consciousness," Pavanna smiles, a wicked thing indeed! "Though I expect he'll be more interested in how Groetus is bringing about the End Times than tell us anything resembling helpful."

 

[InVinoVeritas]

Contempt drips from Miryam's eyes as she regards the unconscious cleric. She carefully wipes her sword, returns it to its place beneath her robes, and twists her whip back around her waist. She looks around, examining the crates and the two little corpses. She sends her lights around the room to improve the illumination.
