Thormanil gently struck the boy with the blunt end of his weapon hoping to knock the lad out. Unfortunately, due to the shaman's barbarian level of strength, his version of a "tap" was more than enough to crack bone. The boy's head split open and splattered blood on the party members. His body fell to the edge of the stream. His face was frozen in a look of shock as if to wonder, 'how could such beautiful breasts be so dangerous?' Ranger went to check the boy's pulse.

"My, you Heroica lot are quite efficient. This one is dead. Is there anything the rest of you wish to do before we head inside?"

[swils]

"Oh, well, uh, don't suppose my healing'll be any good here... Whoops! I'll have to be a bit more careful with that in the future, eh?   If we can spare a few minutes, I think it'd be best we buried the body. "

He takes out his shovel and prepares to dig. Before he begins, he takes the boy's shirt, rinsing it in the water before putting it on.

OoC: Hopefully I'll get an updated Thormana avatar soon.

[Jedi master Brick]

Elgar looked in disgust as Thormana killed the boy and calmly proceeded to take the boy's clothes.  Elgar dug a hole to bury the boy and murder a few words to remember the boy then he turned to Thormana and said " Maybe you should not use weapons on children"

"Aw, don't be mad just 'cause I'm puttin' the pups away, Elgar.  Y'can see 'em anytime ya want, just gotta ask, hah!  Anyway, I coulda' just let his head roll, y'know.  Gotta give me a lil credit for not usin' the sharp side, heh heh!  'Sides, if he'd gotten away, we'd have the guards after us anyhow, same as if we'd approached the main gate and failed to fool 'em.  Uh, thanks, though, for doin' the digging.  If we're all done mourning this tragic loss, perhaps we can start into the sewers?  I'd rather get this part of the mission over with quick as we can, yeh?"

[Jebediahs]

With Thormanil's change of clothing and the murdered boy buried, there was nothing left to accomplish. The Maa'ri headed into the sewer gate with the heroes following behind. Upon entry into the tunnel the heroes noticed that there was only a faint unpleasant smell comparable to a light whiff of body odor. The walkways were surprisingly clean and well maintained. The sewer water had a blue-ish-green hue. Floating by was what appeared to be a lute.

As they neared the end of the tunnel the group was again surprised by the lack of creatures dwelling within. There was no sewer monster, no rats or snakes or any vermin at all. This was one clean sewer.

"Bark Bark! <That was one clean sewer!>"

Upon exiting the the sewer the party was approached by a roaming patrol. A short but intimidating knight of some sort stepped forward.

"Halt, who goes there?"

How will the Party respond?
QM Note: Again,  The Party has a 2/6 chance with diplomacy and a 1/6 chance without of bypassing this encounter.

[Kadabra]

Arasmyth mutters to the party so the knight can't hear, "The pilgrim thing didn't work, so let's try this." Louder, he tells the knight, "We are official sewer inspectors. We have been formed in response to the ridiculously large amount of hydras, kraken, serpents, and oversized alligators populating sewers across Olegaia, and are expert exterminators hired to take care of vermin no matter how large. I am Aria, elven aeromancer, leader of this party. We were conducting an investigation of your sewer, and have found nothing untoward within, and have given you A+ cleanliness grade. Thank you."

[Jebediahs]

QM Note: Encounter /roll result: FAIL! haha good one though.

The knight turned toward his party, mumbled something then chuckled. "Inspectors, eh? I don't think so. At best you're lost recruits, at worst...spies. Either way, you will feel the full strength of Akkaba's blessings..."

PREPARE FOR BATTLE!

"We might have a chance. Akkaba's command over the light is weaker than Ennoc's so his disciples expend more ether for their specials."BD style crier/announcer guy.

"Let's go through the sewers! they said!  We'll avoid the guards! they said! Hah!  Fat chance."
Grumbling, he unties a pouch of Smelling Salts and breathes in deeply.  His limbs tingle as the effect quickens his senses. He grips his totem tightly from the back row as the world around him slows to a crawl.

[ADHO15]

Surprised by the cleanliness of the sewers and the guards waiting at the other end, Ad-Hoh could not help but regret his decision to go that way.

Ad-Hoh attacks the Akkaba Mage from the back row with Darkness.

[Kadabra]

"Thormanil! You have a second turn, take another action!" Arasmyth cries, then charges up his staff to release wind magic on the Inquisitor from the back row. "Don't bother with the cleric, Knifk can Counter-Strike him. We need to KO the Inquisitor this round."

Nodding their agreement, Rogue, Ranger, and Hound attack the Inquisitor from the front row.

Battle Order:
Knifk
Thormanil
Arasmyth
Rogue
Ranger
Hound
Ad-hoh
Elgar

[Jedi master Brick]

Elgar attacks the inquisitor from the back row with his crossbow

[swils]

OoC: Oh, Hastened takes effect that round?  Well, in that case...

His focus narrowed, Thormanil prepares to attack the Inquisitor from the front row.

[Bioniclover]

Knifk steps forth to face his foe head on (from the front row), selecting the Paladin as his target. He smiled grimly, the two were opposites of a sort - both were of knightly origin, one holy, one shadowed, one human, one orc, one a follower of a Light God, the other a follower of the War God. It was almost like looking in a mirror. The thought amused him. Mumbling under his breath, he says "Seven years of bad luck better be worth it." He then raises his voice so his foe can hear. "I'm about to shatter you!"

[Jebediahs]

Results of Round One of the Akkaba Patrol, Squad I:
Knifk vs. Akkaba Paladin (Dwarf) - Shield: Demon Within ((10x3+15)x2=90 damage; Paladin:0,Cleric:85,Mage:90,Inquisitor:90)
>Thormanil Nihai uses Item - Smelling Salts
Thormanil Nihai vs. Akkaba Inquisitor(Human) Akkaba Paladin (Dwarf) - Meditate
>Arasmyth RuGard vs. Akkaba Inquisitor(Human) Akkaba Paladin (Dwarf) - Great Spell (5x2+11-15=6 damage)
Maa'ri Rogue vs. Akkaba Inquisitor(Human) Akkaba Paladin (Dwarf) - Critical Hit (26x2+10-15=47 damage)
Maa'ri Ranger vs. Akkaba Inquisitor(Human) Akkaba Paladin (Dwarf) - Critical Hit (30x2-15)=45 damage)
Maa'ri Hound vs. Akkaba Inquisitor(Human) Akkaba Paladin (Dwarf) - Damage (20=20 damage)
>Ad-Hoh vs. Akkaba Mage (Human) - Spell Aim (5x2=10 damage)
>Elgar Gligin vs. Akkaba Inquisitor(Human) Akkaba Paladin (Dwarf) - Special Damage: Righteous Smite (20=20 damage + blind)

Akkaba Cleric (Elf) vs. Knifk - Free Hit (12-9=3 damage)
Knifk counter-strikes Akkaba Cleric (Elf) - Free Hit (25-5=20 damage)

Knifk decided to end the battle quickly by unleashing his demon within dealing massive damage to all enemies...except his intended target. The dwarf paladin inhaled deeply as the torrent of dark energy spewed forth, invigorating him. Knifk is stunned by the dwarf's reaction to his most devastating attack. Thormanil slowed down time with the consumption of his smelling salts. As his brain was working overtime, he took a quick moment to contemplate...everything. With the Inquisitor slain the dwarf paladin hid behind his shield as Arasmyth's wind assaulted him. Not too impressed by the damage output, he laughed and he lowered his shield. Unfortunately for him the attack was merely a diversion for the Maa'ri Orcs to score critical hits. He took Rogue's boot to the head as Ranger's arrow found its way between his armor. The Hound was next to attack but the dwarf evaded the bite and nailed the mutt on the top of his head with the pommel of his blade. Ad-Hoh entered into a darkness spell duel with the Akkaba Mage. She ducked his first spell which clipped a small piece of her. Tiring of the constant assault, the Akkaba Paladin raised his sword to the sky and yelled, "I have the powerrrr!! HOOOO!!!" A devastating beam of light struck from the heavens landing right on top of Elgar. The light was so bright it blinded him and Ad-Hoh and Knifk who were standing near by. Everyone else managed to shield their eyes in time. Taking advantage of a blinded and stunned opponent, the Akkabba Cleric slammed her mace into Knifk's shield. Unable to see, Knifk grinned as he used the force and sound of the blow to strike back at the cleric. He was stunned by how impressive he was.

[swils]

"AWWYEAHGOKNIFKGO!" Thormanil (rapidly) shouts.  His attention turns to the ranger and the hound:

Heal Elgar from the back row
Heal Maa'ri Hound from the back row

[Bioniclover]

Knifk, slightly surprised by his foe's resistance to his most devastating ability, but very happy with himself, takes next round to strike a flashy victory pose.

[Jedi master Brick]

Elgar stumbles around clutching his eyes and Does nothing for the next round

[ADHO15]

OOC: Can I still use magic while I'm blind? If so...

Ad-Hoh repeats his attack on the Akkaba Mage.

[Kadabra]

Arasmyth points his staff at the mage, firing a gale-force blast of wind. The three Maa'ri all attack the Paladin.

Same Battle Order

[Jebediahs]

OoC: Yes, you may cast spells while blinded.

Results of Round Two of the Akkaba Patrol, Squad I:
Knifk suffers from Status Effect - Stunned + Blinded
>Thormanil Nihai heals Elgar Gligin - Heal Much More (12x3+18=54 health)
>Thormanil Nihai heals Maa'ri Hound - Heal (12+18+1=31 health)
>Arasmyth RuGard vs. Akkaba Mage (Human) - Special Damage: Mind Numb
Maa'ri Rogue vs. Akkaba Paladin (Dwarf) - Shield: Mug 'Em
Maa'ri Ranger vs. Akkaba Paladin (Dwarf) - Critical Hit (30x2-15)=45 damage)
Maa'ri Hound vs. Akkaba Paladin (Dwarf) - Shield: Loyalty
>Ad-Hoh vs. Akkaba Mage (Human) - Damage: Shadow Bolt (25/2 (rounded up) /2=7 damage)
>Elgar Gligin suffers from Status Effect - Blinded

Akkaba Cleric (Elf) vs. Knifk - Free Hit (12-9=3 damage)
Knifk counter-strikes Akkaba Cleric (Elf) - Free Hit (25-5=20 damage)

Knifk's vision clears and he realizes no one is watching him pose. Thormanil restores health to Hound and Elgar. Arasmyth joins the spell flingers' duel with Ad-Hoh. Outnumbered, the Akkaba Mage casts a quick cantrip to even the odds. Arasmyth's mind is clouded making it hard for him to remember the words to his spells. Rogue sprints towards the Akkaba Paladin then disappears from view. The dwarf's momentary confusion was all Ranger needed to score another critical hit. His hound took a protective stance in front of him and growled. Ad-Hoh is hit by a shadow bolt but with his resistance and position in the back row, it doesn't inflict much harm. Elgar rubs his eyes as the field of battle returns to his sight. Not learning from the first time, the Akkaba Cleric attacks Knifk who quickly strikes back.

Any enemy not targeted will get a Free Hit on the party after everyone has acted.

Double Check (or don't) stats and such. I'm a bit rusty.

[ADHO15]

Ad-Hoh repeats his attack once more, hoping to score some more damage on the powerful Akkaba Mage.

[Kadabra]

Arasmyth feels the Mage cast a basic prestidigitation spell, distracting his senses with scents and sounds only he could hear. He roars with frustration and discharges a thunderbolt at her from the back row as the three Maa'ri continue triple-teaming the Paladin.

Same BO

[Jedi master Brick]

Elgar Attacks Akabar Paldin(dwarf) from the back row with his crossbow

[swils]

The party in mostly good health, Thormanil moves to the front row to attack the Paladin twice.

[Bioniclover]

Knifk, disappointed that no one saw him pose, takes out his frustration on the paladin from the front row.
