Syhlas studies the skeleton wyrmling for a moment. How it fights and moves.

He waves his rapier in front of it to draw its attention to himself then he makes few quick false attacks before putting all his force into two stabs, one with the rapier and the other with his off-hand blade.

 

Actions

Action 1: Feint

Action 2: Strike with rapier

Action 3: Strike with shortsword (agile)

 

[Eagleheart]

"Keep up the pressure, we've almost got it!" says Renali. Each of her attacks is rebuffed by the skeleton, but at least she's (figuratively) keeping it on its toes.

Bulwark: The armor covers you so completely that it provides benefits against some damaging effects. On Reflex saves to avoid a damaging effect, such as a fireball, you add a +3 modifier instead of your Dexterity modifier

The battering fist of black stone wasn't doing anything, so with a whisper of will Arionne reshaped it into a piercing spear at the end of the chain. She spun about, whipping the chain about her as she leapt to bring it down like a massive scorpion's tail against the creature.

Conditions: Channel ElementsAura Kineticist Primal

Requirements Your kinetic gate isn't active.

You tap into your kinetic gate to make elements flow around you. Your kinetic aura activates, and as a part of this action, you can use a 1-action Elemental Blast or a 1-action stance impulse. Your kinetic aura is a 10-foot emanation where pieces of your kinetic element (or all your kinetic elements, if you can channel more than one) flow around you. The kinetic aura can't damage anything or affect the environment around you unless another ability allows it to. Channel Elements has the traits of all your kinetic elements. Your kinetic aura automatically deactivates if you're knocked out, you use an impulse with the overflow trait, or you Dismiss the aura. Though you can't use new impulses while your kinetic aura is deactivated, ones you already used remain, and you can still Sustain any that can be sustained. Stance impulses are linked to your kinetic aura and end when the aura deactivates., Armor in EarthEarth Impulse Kineticist Primal

Stone encases you like armor. The stone armor is medium armor but uses your highest armor proficiency. The stone armor's statistics are: AC Bonus +4; Dex Cap +1; Check Penalty –2; Speed Penalty –10 feet; Strength 16; Bulk 1; Group plate. You gain its armor specialization effect. Any bonuses, runes, and magical abilities of your actual armor are suppressed, but any runes that could apply to the stone armor are replicated onto it. The stone armor lasts for 10 minutes, and you can Dismiss this impulse. If you use this impulse again, any existing one ends.

If you bring it into your space, you can catch it in an open hand. You can Sustain the impulse to keep moving the element. • Suppress You destroy an existing piece of element, such as snuffing out a flame or evaporating water from a cup.

Vharag's imposing presence looms over Voz, his massive form casting a shadow over her prone body. As he crouches low, his gaze pierces through her with an intensity that sends shivers down her spine.

"You are not a fool, elf," Vharag's voice rumbles like distant thunder, laced with a dangerous edge. His hand, clad in the dragon-scaled gauntlet worn by Malarunk, grips her robe with an iron grip. "These people wish to bring you to justice, a court of law. In my homeland of Belkzen, we would nail you to a tree and leave you for the scavengers."

The threat hangs heavy in the air as Vharag leans in closer, his eyes burning with an unyielding resolve. "Surrender, call off your creation, reveal what you know," he commands, his words carrying the weight of an ultimatum. "And perhaps you will live to see the justice my allies seek."

"Elf-flesh-sweeet," hissed the, still invisible, Verjigorm, Vharag's lips curl into a cruel smile. "We shall see, wyrm," he murmurs, his gaze flickering between Voz and the draconic familiar. "Or shall we?"

"You won't kill me. You need me." Voz laughs, but it seems Vharag will make good on his threat, as the floating flame moves to her and starts burning into her throat. She cries out for a moment, then passes out. But even now the undead dragon remains active, jaws snapping, empty eyes glaring.

The skeleton clamps its jaws down on Matilde's sword and wrestles it out of her grasp, flinging it to the ground. It then turns its attention back to Arionne, slashing at her even as her kinetic weapons are bearing down on it.

Realizing that this animated skeleton dragon would fight on until it was completely destroyed Syhlas decides to go all in on attack. It is already distracted with enemies on three sides so he can easily find openings in its defense to exploit.

He strikes with his rapier followed up by two quick stabs with the shorter off-hand sword.

The wyrmling skeleton finally collapses as Syhlas' blade pierces through its neck, severing its skull from the rest of its body.

Voz is still breathing, but just barely. You have only a few seconds to decide what to do with her. (Renali has no opinion on this, so she passes her turn)

Matilde scowls, as the creature finally falls, before glancing over and strode to Voz. Whether it was a desire for answers or an obligation of her duties to her faith with regards to fallen foes, she purposefully sheathed her rapier, then crouched down, briskly slapping some ointment from her pouch over the most obvious of the injuries the mage had suffered.

Then, she gently tapped the mage's cheek to get her to stir. "Wake up, and no sudden moves. Iomedae wants you to live, apparently."

Arionne's robes were pierced in a dozen places from the Skeletal Dragon's fangs, blood a just visible stain against the crimson and black fabric. Her features were gaunt and withdrawn from the negative energy which had drained her, though Matilde's magic had kept her on her feet.

"Things would be easier if she lives."

She said simply, her voice strained as she fought through the pain. 

"Especially with the case I am attempting to build in Calmont's defense. He is still guilty of killing several people, and should face justice for that. Noble intentions mean little in the face of death, but that doesn't mean they mean nothing."

She set about searching the Necromancer, looking for anything that might be of use.

"Justice," Vharag's voice reverberates with the echoes of generations past, each word laden with the weight of his orcish heritage. "A cage wrought of soft words and fragile ideals, has dulled the minds of men, made them weak and complacent."

His gaze hardens, a flicker of disdain crossing his features. "In Belkzen, where steel meets flesh and blood paints the earth, there is no room for mercy or forgiveness. Only strength survives, only the fittest endure."

With an imposing stature, he looms over Voz like a force of nature unleashed. "But you," his voice a low, menacing growl, "have dared to defy the laws of the wild, to trample upon the ancient ways of my people."

His grip tightens around her robe, his eyes blazing with primal fury. "For that, you will answer. To the Shattered Skull tribe, to the laws of the untamed wilderness, you are bound. And when the time comes, when the debt is due, you will face the consequences of your folly."

With a dismissive wave of his hand, the abyssal flame floating inches from Voz's face sputters and dissipates in a cloud of acrid smoke. Vharag tears the tome from her belt, turning his back on the woman as he strides purposefully towards the archways. His keen intellect already turning to the mysteries of the archways, the aiudara, dismissing the contempt he had for the mercy being granted his foe by civilized, softer allies. Verjigorm hisses, coiling around the orc's broad shoulders in silent agreement.

[Eagleheart]

Matilde heals Voz, and as she slowly regains consciousness, you restrain her to make sure she won't cast any more spells. She narrows her eyes and grits her teeth, but she knows she is beaten.

As you search her for items, you find her spellbook and two spell scrolls, as well as a handful of legal documents. One of them reads as follows:
 

CITADEL ALTAEREIN

Founded 1 Arodus 4638 by the Hellknight Order of the Nail

 

BE IT KNOWN the Citadel was established primarily to defend its area of influence (detailed in document A3) and secondarily to study the elven artifacts housed within (detailed in document A4).

TO ENSURE the Citadel serves its appointed purpose, this document is to be renewed every 5 years. Should this document expire, ownership of the citadel shall default to the leader(s) of the nearest city or state.

In other words, the citadel belongs to Breachill now ... you should probably tell the Town Council about this, and the head of the guard will gladly take Voz off your hands. Alseta's Ring can wait - for now, it's time to go home.

Syhlas lets Arionne and Vharag take care of Voz. He sheathes his weapons and approaches Baldric. "Thanks for the heads-up when Voz turned against me. It helped a lot. Welcome to the party." He smiles at the bard and pats his shoulder friendly.

Then he turns towards the locked double door. "What do you magic people think about this one? It appears to have some magical lock. Voz do you know what might be inside?" The last question is said in a harsher tone.
