    R1T10: Dusha lets out a soft cackle - as expected, things were already going to pot - and then throws a few mild invectives at Erasmus, for lighting their position, the group, for deciding to attack in the dark, and the gods on general principles. She moves forwards behind the boys with the knives, staying just inside the circle of light so that she can see where she's stepping. Behind her ear she can hear Radigan, resting in her hood, chitter nervously.

    R1T6: The belltower guard shouts something loudly in Infernal.

    The belltower guard looks over the opening in the stairwell going down, Tia sees him, and he shoots, missing. He reloads.

    R1T5: Meijin moves the full complement of his speed towards the belltower while flourishing out his blade. He moves 60' and is now 15' from the belltower.

    R1T3: Radigant chitters nervously in Dusha's hood, but is now alert for battle.

    R2T23: Kavina rises from cover changing into Kavina’s black leather clad human form and moving next Meijin. She gives gives him a wink and a grin. “Tia’s taking out the guards in the tower. Where are the others? The time for stealth has passed.”

    R2T20: Tia starts up the stairwell, aiming to catch up to the Belltower guard and take him down. She takes a double move to get up to the belfry where she now faces a male tiefling with a crossbow in hand.

    R2T17: Aldo groans. These people just don't get how espionage works, do they? Your enemy can't go after you if they don't know you're there, so keeping them in the dark is the primary goal. Just because the belltower crew ran into difficulty didn't mean that the ground team had to go in all willy-nilly. But alas, unless he wanted to be left behind, he needed to pick up some speed and eschew stealth for the moment. He ends his movement 15' from the belltower, alongside Meijen and Kavina.

    R2T16: Not that it helps, because now Erasmus double moves, his bright sunrod coming with him, as he closes 60', ending movement with the clump of Meijen, Kavina, and Aldo, and putting them all in the area of normal lighting. The sunrod illuminates the side of the belltower, but not quite the top. The top of the belltower is in dim light, and everyone thinks they see someone up there.

    R2T15: Flycatcher, Aldo just opened throttle ... as did the source of light. What do you do?

    R2T15: The Flycatcher sighs before moving up to the belltower, drawing his rapier in his free hand as he goes, moving past the bulk and standing next to the belltower.

    R2T11: Janiven closes to the group and shoots upwards, hitting the belltower tiefling for 6 (though only Tia sees that he gets shot).

    R3T20: Tia closes any remaining distance between her and the belltower guard, and quickly strikes with her scythe to take him down. Her scythe cuts through his left shoulder for 9. The man gets tossed like hay on a pitchfork out the belfry and lands on the ground several feet from where some of the Children are standing by the main church entrance. His body is unmoving. Tia then yells in Infernal towards the same direction as the guard had.

    Surprise Round ...

    Several bolts come towards the doorway from unseen assailants, but they all hit the doorjamb near a startled Meijen.

    Round One ...

    R1T26:
    An arrow whizzes past everyone in line of the door and goes in to hit something that gives a whining yelp like that of a wounded dog .... cause that is exactly what it is as poor "Scabby" goes down without a fight. "What the--?! Sunrod ain't working right."

    R1T23: Erasmus moves in, right up to a wall of darkness his sunrod can't penetrate with anything but dim light. Out of his mouth is the voice of a woman casting a spell as he is now surrounded by a ghostly light (that doesn't actually shed light, cause, y'know, game mechanics).

    R1T19: Dusha darts forwards into the room, only to dive to the right and into a loose pile of crates as soon as she enters. Crouched among them, taking cover, she opens her mouth wide - too wide. Her cheeks stretch, her jaw almost looks to be unhinging, and she lets out a strangled hissing sound barely audible to all but the northernmost tiefling. For him, he can now hear nothing else.

    R1T18: Aldo, what do you do? It is normal light in the eastern side of the temple, and dim light to the west of the black line (which you see once you go in). You have twin Lt-blades manifested. It takes 10' of movement to move to the 1st square just inside the door.

    R1T17: Kavina, what do you do? It would take you 15' of movement to get to the first square just inside the door. See previous comments regarding lighting.

    R1T17: Kavina will say in a loud voice ”Shadow Clone Jitsu!” before shadowy duplicates form around her making it difficult to pin-point her location. She then dashes into the room and darts left to hide behind the table.

    R1T11: Rufus darts into the room while drawing a dagger in his free hand. He runs over the barrels to the north (presumably?) and throws the dagger at the northernmost tiefling (BoE1), with a tracer-like effect of flame as it cuts the darkness to hit the tiefling man in his left knee for 8 + 3 fire, dropping him as he gives a piercing cry and his crossbow clatters to the floor. After the dagger has left his hand, Rufus switches his foot placement and presents a slim profile.

    R1T8: Meijen moves all the way in, getting into the grill of the two female tieflings (BoE2 & 3) to make a firefight harder as he threatens him with his large, curved sword.

    R1T7-6: BoE2 drops her crossbow and tries to get around Meijen. She makes a valiant effort, but Meijen catches her when she is wide open, slashing her from front to back with a crit for 22, killing her instantly. BoE4 goes the long way around the table, dropping his crossbow on it while taking out a light mace and attacking a dodging elf.

    R1T4: Dusha, Radigan finally has its wits about it, going into delay. I won't note his delay status, but it will be up to you to order him to do something.

    End Round One, Begin Round 2 ...

    R2T26:
    Janiven moves into the center of the room and shoots BoE4 in the back of his upper arm for 12, piercing though his brachial artery and into his intercostal muscles, dropping him.

    R2T23: Erasmus, saying nothing, simply points to BoE3, the last tiefling standing. He points to her, and as he does so, the sunrod at his feet that gives him a "footlight" makes it seem as if his skin becomes translucent. BoE3 suddenly looks dumbfounded, as if she doesn't quite know where she is.

    R2T21: Tia, it is getting hard to see with all of the activity in there. What do you do?

    R2T21: Tia summons up Via again and sends her back into the room, stopping her behind Erasmus, to survey for an opening to get in and get a strike in. She then moves right up to the door, giving her a place to peek in from there while continuing to watch the rear, while setting herself up in her preferred combat stance.

    R2T19: Dusha, you thought you saw an opening and a way to bring BoE4 down easily ... but then he drops. What do you do?

    R2T19: Rather than try and take down the last of the Bastards, Dusha instead makes a break for the stairs in order to hopefully tie them up if they try to flee.

    R2T18: Aldo, it is difficult movement when moving underneath the table. You have one Lt mindblade in hand. From your position, there are enough chair and table legs in your way to screen the one bastard remaining. What do you do?

    R2T18: Aldo rushes forward, but finds it is harder to move easily under the table. He manifests a power on his mindblade; hopefully, it would take the tiefling down without being lethal. Getting in-between the tables, he sees the legs between the mass of table legs and chair legs (which would've been improved cover), so he insteads pops his head outside of the confines of the table to throw his mindblade, which manages to catch the tiefling in the leg for 9 NL, staggering her.

    R2T17: Putting on a burst of speed, Kavina moves left and then goes to sprint along the southernmost wall, only to find that the line of chairs against the wall make movement more difficult than expected. She ends up threatening the staggered tiefling, but unable to attack.

    R2T11: The Flycatcher hurries over to the still standing Bastard. He swings his rapier pommel in an effort to bring them down alive, hitting her for 12 NL, which is enough to knock her out.

    R2T8: Meijen, delaying, calls out, "Erasmus, there are stairs over here. We need that light."

    End Round 2, Begin Round 3 ...

    R3T26:
    Janiven moves to the top of the stairs. "Yeah, I can't see anything because of the darkness. Soon as we get that light, head down."

    R3T23: Erasmus picks up the sunrod and moves into the wall of darkness. For everyone who does not have darkvision, the sunrod instantly goes from a nice full light to being a wan, distant glow in very dim light, not even acting as a proper spotter if Erasmus were targeted.

    R3T19: Staring down where she knew the stairs to be, Dusha "whispers a few soft nothings" in a language spoken by few still-living:

    R3T17: Kavina casts a spell and her fan glows with the light of a torch. Or it would if it were not for the magical darkness that surrounds them. But her casting of a simple light spell has absolutely no effect, unlike the sunrod in Erasmus' hand, which at least allows for dim light in the area. She stays put, waiting for the frontal assault team to move down the stairs.

    R3T11: The Flycatcher makes a mental note to get his dagger back when there's time. "I can go first. Shadows aren't enough to hide a villain from me."

    Flycatcher goes down the stairs, which incidentally sits outside of the magical darkness, and yet also contains the light of the sunrod, so that it is actually dark down here. Luckily, Flycatcher is unperturbed by the darkness. At the bottom of the stairs, the hallway turns left and ends in a simple wooden door. A short message has been artfully carved on the door, but someone seems to have marred the message with slashes from a sharp instrument.

    R3T8: Meijen then follows down directly behind Flycatcher.

    End Round 3, Begin Round 4 ...

    R4T26: Janiven will delay her position here. "I will make sure that up here remains clear," she says. "Tia, Via is just going to take up space."

    R4T23: Erasmus, holding the sunrod, heads down the stairs, and in doing so brings normal light to those below.

    R4T21: Tia/ Via, what do you do?

    R4T21: Tia will recall Via and head up to Janiven, starting down the stairs herself.

    R4T19: Dusha drops her concentration, shaking her head to clear the lingering effects of the spell. "Well, no devils," she murmurs to herself. She doesn't start moving, though; until the Masked Pretension - "Shadows aren't enough to hide a villain from me", what was this, a copper-book? - or one of the other front-liners gives the all-clear she'll stay where she won't be in the way.

    R4T18: Aldo brushes past Dusha and Janiven (alerting them to his position and then creeps down the stairs. As soon as he creeps below the plane of the main temple floor, he finds himself fully illuminated - and automatically spotted - by Erasmus and Meijen. The passage continues to the left below, so he can't see Flycatcher right now.

    R4T17: Kavina, what do you do?

    R4T11: The Flycatcher reaches for the door knob and tries it as quietly as he can. As it is unlocked, he cracks it open wide enough to see past and takes a peek. He sees a chamber beyond, but as he didn't commit to actually opening the door, he gets no detail. What he does get for his trouble in being stealthy is the light from Erasmus' sunrod reflecting off walls and pouring in.

    R4T8: Meijen, a bit annoyed at what was a poorly, overly cautious desire for stealth when it wasn't possible, brushes past Flycatcher and goes into the room beyond. He calls out, "Door straight ahead, but this antechamber goes left to the north, into the darkness. Echoes imply some size."

    Surprise Round ...

    S21: The sound of a spell being chanted echoes off the walls from beyond the door.

    S20-9: Three quarrels fly towards Meijen. One is deflected by his chain shirt, but the other two hit him - one skipping by his left thigh for 2, the other grazing his left shoulder for 3.

    Begin Round One ...

    R1T22:
    Radigan instantly senses danger is goes into delay....

    R1T21: There is more chanting from beyond. Flycatcher sees Meijen get hit with an arcane bolt for 2 force.

    R1T20: Aldo, sounds of spellcasting and battle (and you heard Meijen's shout). What do you do?

    R1T20: Aldo reignites the mindblade in his off-hand and moves closer to the action, doing what he can to remain hidden. Aldo has to pass Tia and Erasmus, forcing him to really forgo stealth, and Flycatcher keeps him from going a little bit farther.

    R1T19: A quarrel flies out to crit Meijen in his left elbow for 8.

    R1T18: Upstairs, Janiven passes Dusha to let her get by.

    R1T16: Erasmus moves in and takes a juke into an inoffensive corner. From his mouth issues a woman's voice - stern, yet compassionate - as a spell is incanted to provide succor to Meijen's wounds for 9 healing. Of course, he takes the light in there with him. "Darkness at the threshold to the north!" he calls in warning in his normal voice.

    R1T15: The click of a crossbow and Meijen is shot in the neck for 7.

    R1T14: Meijen steps aside to the opposite alcove by a door, takes out a potion and downs it for 4. "I know not what to do when the coward hides in darkness and shoots with impunity!" he calls out. "We need a spotter with darkvision in there, calling out positions."

    R1T13: Flycatcher, you are currently in the scarlet einhander stance with a rapier in your hand. What do you do?
