Seeing that Drasil was still gravely injured, Brazi soothed him with some healing. Then, in case the bad guys joined them, he brought up a shield.

With Kyros safely disabling the trap, Garion moves into the main room where he can see the two remaining enemies. He chants "shock the flunkeys" and sends a lightning bolt at the torturers in the back room.

Drasil staggers, wide eyed from the rush of endorphins - or the elven equivalent that pumps through him. Thanks to the aid of his companions, he has gone from Pharasma's doorstep to near perfect health in seconds. He nods to them in thanks, but his still set snarl and bulging eyes make the gesture ghoulish.

He swivels his attention back to the action. The waiwright might still be alive.

With a Sudden Charge Drasil dashes through the room, weaving between the thugs with elven speed.

Timeline Split:
If the wainwright is still alive, or not obviously already dead Drasil runs up to him and presses a traditional poultice into the humans wounds.
Battle Medicine DC 15
Heal

-------

If The wainwright is obviously dead, Drasil howls in anguish. He disarmed himself earlier, but his fists will do the job well enough. He punches and claws at Blue like a wildman, clinging to him and grabbing at his throat and eyes.

Sudden Charge Punch
Bludgeoning Damage

Snagging strike (flat footed on a hit)
Bludgeoning Damage

Actions

Hide this

2 action Sudden Charge: Stride Stride Strike (strike is wasted is the wainwright seems alive, since Drasil wont be in reach of any targets, if I'm understanding the map right.) 1 action battle medicine or Snagging strike: target is flatfooded on a hit so long as they remain in reach.

Things get a little weird with Drasil either being adjacent to blue, or adjacent to the wainwright depending on how things pan out. Thanks to his Elven speed though, he should be able to get wherever he needs to be.

Dax Thura · March 7

Reaction:

* The lathe trap is tripped. It begins to fling out shrapnel around the room. Drasil gets hit by a fragment.

Round 2 Bold May Act

Braz'i

Kuz'Arak

Kyros

Garion

Drasil

Blue -40 hp

Red -17 hp

Yellow -40

- Drasil is Bleeding d8

* Braz'i heals Drasil before casting a defensive spell.

* Kuz'Arak heals some of Drasil's wounds.

** Bul'Ro bites red, knocking him down.

* Kyros smoothly slides over to dismantle the debris slinging trap.

* Garion casts a Lightning Bolt that blasts through the door and into both yellow and blue.

* Drasil rushes into the storeroom and revives Fadelby. His wounds continue to drain his vitality.

Seeing the way this has turned, Yellow makes a run for it. Blue and Red fight to the end, though. The Bravos oblige their preference.

Do you let Yellow escape?

@Dax -- You said the Bravos oblige Red/Blue (presumably by killing them). Could we have chosen to attack non-lethally to finish them off? Even though no one is bold, we can still take actions?

When the remaining henchman tries to flee, Garion admonishes him, "No so fast, my friend. We have questions." Turning toward the main double doors at the entrance, Garion raises his arms and says, "rock block". Immediately, an illusory rock wall (complete with appropriate earthy smells and sounds of animated rubble falling to the ground) springs up behind Braz'i, blocking the double doors.

Garion turns back to the henchman, "There's nowhere to run. Surrender and you get to live."

Yellow made it outside before Garion or anyone else could act again. He'll make his escape. The other two can be captured alive, though.

With his illusory wall of rock impeding the fleeing thug, Garion steps aside to let Kyros handle the honor or leading him back to the others. Who are hopefully bound and gagged by now. The gnome then runs into the back room to check on Fadelby. Thanks to Drasil's quick thinking, the wainwright is still alive. Garion smiles, "That was close, Mr. Fadelby. Very glad you're still with us." He squeezes Fadelby's hand.

(Garion performs Lay on Hands to restore 24 hp to Fadelby. Cost: 1 focus point)

While the group is searching the bodies, the back room, and the small bedroom, Garion retrieves his Jug of Fond Remembrance, pours drinks, and offers some to the bound prisoners. He then explains "With Heuberk gone, you'll be taking the fall for this. Things will go much easier if you tell us why you tortured an innocent villager. We might even consider freeing the first person who can help us."

Diplomacy (Make an Impression) +Jug

Make an Impression (vs target's Will DC to improve Red's attitude (Note: Red is the one Garion did not injure with the lightning).

"We don't want your drink. Though, we could be persuaded to speak if allowed to leave rather than be arrested." They all nod their agreement.

At the suggestion they all go free, Garion's congenial smile slips away as he explains, "All of you tortured a man. And without my friend's quick work, one of you would've committed murder. Unfortunately, that person is not getting away."

(Presumably between Kyros, who raced in the room, and Fadelby himself, we know which of them is the would-be-murderer.)

Garion looks to the others and suggests, "My friends and I are going to conduct a thorough search of this place. We may not need you to talk." Garion adds, "When we're done investigating, we might give one of you a chance to enlighten us further." His smile returns, "Don't go anywhere."

Turning to the Bravos, "Shall we start looking around?" Garion searches Heuberk's body and the prisoners.

You don't find anything and Fadelby doesn't say anything other than the loss of his appendage is out of order.

Mathota · March 11

Drasil struts agitatedly as the captives are secured, picking up his sword as the adrenaline slowly works its way out of his system. [in the presence of enemies Drasils rage takes a minute to time out]

Once he finally calms down, he grips the doorframe and leans on it heavily. Without the support he feels like he might fall over.

with a weak smile he says "The only way you leave not in our custody is in the arms of one of Pharasma's crows. You people have violated everything I hold sacred. One of your friends has escaped, how fortuitous. we only needed one to send word of your failures. They will send more, and if you don't talk, they will."

Drasil grits his teeth and straightens up from the wall, composure regained. With a moment of thought, he shifts his sword into a massive battle axe, with a crude pattern of jagged teeth down the grip. He holds the weapon out at arms length, testing the balance.

"The only thing you are deciding right now, is what message they deliver. Will they tell your masters of our mercy or..."

He drops the axe, the massive blade imbedding itself in the floor with a THUD. Drasil squats down, reaching eye level with the prisoners.

"... or maybe they will tell your masters of our thoroughness." Drasil is still smiling, but it is a thin thing. "Heuberk tested us. Are you sure you want to as well?" he shrugs, straightening back up. "Hope your gods look kindly upon failures"

Drasil watches them silently for a moment, before picking up his weapon and shaping it back into a sword. Then he shrugs, smiling jovially.

"Well is was worthwhile trying, shall we call for the guards?"

Kuz'Arak thinks that one might talk if separated from the others.
