Talisin twists and writhes as the flask explodes around Tali and him, though both of half-elven lineage the pair couldn't be more different, the flames harmlessly wash over the pyromancer while the Magus feels them sear into his soul, his mind awash with the memories and a primal fear that makes focusing difficult, he is driven by instinct alone as before he has even thought to act he's already drawn and fired an arrow at the source of his terror...

Mayhem erupts in the hallway as the four cultists close with Leonius and Jessica holding the line, the scythes leaving bloody wounds in the holy warriors. The stairs begin to fill with smoke as the explosion of the bomb clears. In the mayhem at the base of the stairs Jessica tries to cleave two of the cultists but in the press of polearms her glaive is tangled and fails to connect. Leonius beside her is buffeted and staggered by the onslaught and fails to bessech the blessings of Iomedae. Things improve though as Tali calls down a curtain for fire. The scythe wielding cultist attacking Leonius screams as he bursts into flames and collapses, the other is only mildly injured.

The main thrust of the attack is on the mad alchemist, Talisin launching an arrow that slams into the tiefling's chest giving rise to a roar of outrage. Gashur and Mong leap from the top of the stairs, plummeting like rocks. Gashur lands by the tieflings feet in a heap, but savagely kicks out with his clawed feet and kicks out Othiburu's feet out from under him as well leaving both Gashur and the Alchemist on the ground. Mong landing catlike beside the alchemist with the ragesong singing in his soul chops down a the prone alchemist who's magical protections avail him not as he takes a savage blow.

Othiburu, bleeding, wounded and prone, surrounded by Gashur and Mong howls in pain as he slashed by claw, hit by an arrow and pinned to the floor by Mong's greatsword. He snarls a curse in abysaal, the air crackling with the force of the curse before he staggers to his feet, Gashur tearing a chunk from his leg and opening up a blow for Mong!

Mong's AoO [roll]1d20+13 = 28 in OOC dam (1d8+11)[15]

Bleeding heavily and horrified by the rain of savage raging monsters (well Gashur and Mong) upon his head he steps back from them and drinks a potion that his tail pulls from his waist pouch vanishing from view.

Stand up, 5ft away, draw potion, drink potion that looks suspiciously like invisbility

[farothel]

Jessica grunted as she got hit again, but she wasn't about to give these idiots the satisfaction of hearing her cry out. As the thiefling disappeared with its tail between its legs - quite literal in this case - she took another step back to gain the reach again and then swung her glaive again at two of them.

Loosely strapped on his arm, the shield is for now worthless to use. He knew the glint in the arcanist's eyes. Tali has unleashed her inferno already, but maybe Talisin had a trick ready.

Seeing the Tiefling blink out of sight, the magus approximates his last location, given the punishment Gashur and Mong are giving the alchemist isn't likely to move towards them, and he can't have moved too far, there. Hoping his calculations are sound he casts his spell and retreats further up the stairs as the area of the spell explodes in bright golden dust.

Standard: Cast Glitterdust ahead of Mong and Gashur, trying to ensure the burst covers where the Tiefling is most likely to have gone if he retreated away from the combat, while NOT hitting the pair of half-orcs.

[DrK]

The fight hangs in the balance with Gashur prone and slashing at the alchemist and the battle between the cultists and the heroes leaving many bleeding on all sides. Thing take a sudden turn for the better as the young knight Jessica steps back and with a single massive slash hacks both the of the cultists down in front of her, the glaive cleaving through clavicles and arms in a welter of blood and kill them both. Taking advantage of the opening Leonius steps back from the front line and pulling out a potion of cooling spearmint flavoured oil that as he drinks it spreads warmth through his body along with an itch as flesh knits back together.

In the cluster near the now invisible alchemist the air suddenly fills with a shower of glittering particles as Tali summons forth the shimmering curtain. Othirubo howls and claws at his eyes as the dust hits him in the eyes, stinging and burning and blinding him even as it reveals his shape and location. Mong steps in, greatsword singing and cleaving into the tiefling's chest, the man easy to hit whilst blind. Even as he folds over the sword crying in agony and leaking black ichor Gashur leaps up to his feet and advances upon him and jabs a claw into his head killing him!

Once more the savagery of the Defenders of Kenaberes is unmatched and although you can hear the sounds of screams and fighting faintly from the streets nearby from Irabeth's distracting attacks you cannot hear anything from within the Gray Garrison (at least for now)

A quick search of the 5 cultists reveals that all must be acolytes of Deskari or Baphomet from their holy symbols and aside from their well made weapons, (all marked with the emblem of Drezen, a city across the border in lost Sakoris that was overwhelmed in 4638 AR; a wave of raw chaos washed over the city turning most of its citizens into hideous beast-men creatures who turned on each other in a wave of cannibalistic fury. Now its ruled by the fallen Paladin Staunton Vane, once a brave Paladin of Iomedae and a hero of Kenaberes. ) they also carry some minor potions and scrolls. A search of the alchemist is more fruitful as he carries a selection of potent magical artifacts.

Cultists
5 MW weapons (3 axes and 2 scythes) and 5 breastplates

[u-b]

Gashur does not delay to sort through the loot. There should be some, and it should be important some time, but for now, Gashur gulps a potion, picks up his long-shafted hammer and resumes the advance, first up the stairs, then south to peek into the room with the stairs to third floor.

Pick the items we can use for a fight. The rest will be checked later. We should honor the lives the defenders give for our opportunity. The aasimar picks up another potion to replace the one he used and a scroll of Doom. He then takes to check the room where the alchemist came from. It should be the garrison's abbey. If anything, he would check the altar for desecration, but also for hints towards the secret chamber of weapons.

"Yeah, we can take their weapons and armour on the way down," she said, only taking those potions, jewels and cash and other small magical items none of the others take and quickly drinking one of the potions as she's not feeling too well. She does take the holy symbols so they can be returned to the proper temples. Often clerics and paladins personalise their holy symbol slightly, so maybe they can find out who was killed and inform their next of kin. She also does a quick lay on hands on herself.
"Anybody else needs healing," she asked, "now we can spend a few moment to attend to it."

Most of the party remains with Jessica on the stairs as they tend to the injuries and strip the fallen of some of the equipment, potions and scrolls. the fight had been intense and the stairs are liberally covered with bodies, blood and viscera and a few smouldering patches of ruined carpet and smoking bannisters. (Are you stacking the weapons and armour somewhere as not sure you can carry that much weapons and armour)

Leonius heads to the north back into the central room before heading north through the double doors into what is clearly a ruined shrine. Blood and filth smear floor of this long room. Six white stone statues of famous heroes line the hall-each clawed, bloodstained, partially smashed, or otherwise defaced. At the far end of the hall, a raised dais holds an upturned alabaster altar. Sitting atop the upside-down altar is a hideous mass of severed limbs that have been stitched together into a vile monstrous insectoid shape. Before the dais, seven ratty bedrolls have been laid out on the floor. The vile debasement of the church hall seems to scream in Leonius's soul although at far western edge of the rooms his hair stands on end and as he spins he can see out of the corner of his eye a faint pulsing outline of something tucked beyond the ruins of the last of the ruined statues.

Before he can investigate the subtle clues of a hidden doorway he also sees the doorway into what would have been the priest's chambers (P9). A long table and six chairs have been pushed against the western wall. On the opposite wall, a tapestry depicting a map of Mendev hangs from a silver rod-the tapestry has been slashed several times and splashed with filth. A bedroll sits on the floor, and on the nearby table is an array of alchemical devices and a long wooden sword case wrapped with cords, as if ready for travel. The lid lies ajar revealing a glorious looking blade with a long slightly curved blade, a depiction of Iomedae on the blade and a curved hilt set with gold. A letter is tucked inside the case that proves interesting reading for the cleric.



The alchemical vials and potions are all set around a deep trough that clearly has been filled with all manner of horrible liquids and that may explain the strange tarnish on the religious symbols the weird tiefling alchemist had been carrying

He's been spending his time lately trying to devise a formula for a solution that causes a holy symbol steeped within it to become infested with the demon plague such that it infects any who touch it. But he's a long way from succeeding

---

At the top of the stairs Gashur takes a different approach, he creeps up the stairs and opens the door where the pair of cultists had appeared from revealing a large and open debris strewn hallway beyond. The ruins are impressive with blood and broken weapons mixed with shattered wood and chunks of chair and wall. He glances around and sees multiple doors. Two to the east (leading to P14 and P16), one directly ahead that he knows leads to the stair upstairs and 3 three to the west. From the south west door a faint buzzing can be heard. From the East (P14) the sound of voices can be heard.

Stealing across the corridor to the room opposite (P15) he pries the door open to a scene of horror on the far side. The southern portion of this room holds a wide alabaster basin filled with bloody entrails. The outside of the basin is carved with images of warriors around a raised sun, holding longswords aloft. A flight of stairs ascends to the west. This basin was once a scrying font, but the invaders have befouled it with the entrails of the six crusaders that have then been animated as zombies and set to
guard this chamber. The zombies stand around the basin, staring mournfully into it with their bellies open and gaping. Gashur, prying open the door gently is able to close it before they notice him and steal back down the stairs to warn the others.

[farothel]

Jessica will follow Leonius, not wanting to let anybody go off alone here. She will stay a bit back, ready to support him but also ready to run back should there be something going on above. When she sees the church, she swears under her breath. Someone will have to pay for this.

"I would take that blade with us," she said when she also saw the sword with the mark of Iomedae, "the other stuff can wait, but this is special. Any idea what it is?"

[u-b]

Gashur is back and relays his findings to those who would listen. He is somewhat surprised not to have alerted everyone, but that's just as well. He proposes to go and clear the room to the northeast which is for sure occupied, leaving only Leonius or Jessica to guard the groups backs against the zombies. The casters would be generally in the corridor, so that considered, one guard should be enough.

Downstairs

Leonius examines the corner with the glowing door way and feels a presence, cooling and pleasant and then with his holy symbol pulsing slightly the back of the alcove slides open revealing the small room behind it, that curves slightly around the western knave and is filled with weapons and armour! A secret cache of weapons and armours for the crusaders to use in extremis if under siege. Sadly though it seems they were unable to reach it in this case. The weapons in here are all dull grey cold iron and others glitter with potent runes in celestial geared for smiting demons.

3 Cold Iron longswords, 1 cold iron shortsword, MW cold iron HV mace, MW heavy cross bow, MW Comp (+2) Longbow, 50 cold iron bolts, 50 cold iron arrows, 5 +1 holy arrows, 1 bolt of Lesser Evil outsider slaying, 2 sets of MW chain mail, Breastplate +1 emblazoned with Iomedae's symbol, +1 blinding heavy steel shield with Shelyn's symbol upon it. 4 potions of CMW, 2 potions of relay poison

Leonius and Jessica can only look into the small armoury with excitement as they can gather what they can carry and take it back, passing back through the horribly desecrated temple to the others where they find Gashur speaking of the rooms upstairs with voices in one (P14) and zombies guarding the way above. Plus the other rooms to explore.

On the Stairs

Jessica and Leonius return with a case containing Irabeth's sword and note speaking of nefarious demon activuty and a link to Drezen across the border where the traitor staunton vane holds sway. They also have numerous other things. Gashur is also back speaking of the upstairs, although you realise you gave managed to sweep the downstairs clear of foes!

What loot are you taking? And how are you carrying the weapons /armour if you are wanting to retain for selling later? Is the plan that you go upstairs and do P14 in the NE first?

[farothel]

"Lets just take the things we can carry and immediately use," Jessica said to Leonius, "we can come back for the rest."

She quickly took the potions and the arrows, knowing those would be interesting for Talisin. She had noticed he didn't have a handweapons, so she quickly grabbed a sword as well. She would let Leonius take what he needed and then made sure the hiding place was closed before they headed to the others.

"Here," she said to Talisin, "cold iron arrows and some holy arrows. And a cold iron sword if you want one."

THere is a few minutes of hiatus in the hallway as Leonius sheds their battered armour and dresses in the splendour of Iomedae, the armour feeling comfortable and like a perfect fit. The other share out the arrows, bolts and potions, most of the good quality cultists's Drezen weapons getting stacked back into the secret cache for use later (or just to deprive the evil armies of their use!). But soon enough, mostly healed and more heavily equipped the heroes troop quietly up to the next level of the building and pause in the corridor.

From the door opposite there is silence, although you know that is where the despoiled scrying pool with its zombie guards is. To the West you can hear a faint buzzing from the wester doors and a faint crack of wood breaking from another suggesting others are occupied. To the east there is a pair of doors, the northern one the one you can hear the voices from. Harsh guttural voices discussing the city.. "There are more attacks in the 3rd quarter, send another unit... The patrols on the cliff wall went silent, we should dispatch more flyers.... Damn these scum, why can't they have fled. they infest this city like vermin... We have captured some of the enemy, they are being brought back here for Jeslyn's pet..." the talk amongst the enemies in that room clearly directing some of the troop movements as Irabeth engages with the distraction attacks.

Gashur creeps some 20ft ahead of the others to peek around the corner of the doors that lie ajar and peers in. Stacks of scrolls, books, maps, and more sit atop a large hexagonal table in this room. The walls are painted with detailed maps of Sarkoris, over which features of the Worldwound have been painted. Currently alos on the table is a large map of Kenaberes over which 4 cultists are leant forward, 3 looking like the typical ones you've been fighting (these ones with the long glaives of Baphomet), the fourth has a long red cloak with Deskari's locust emblazoned upon it and a heavy holy symbol around his throat. At the far end of the table is a strange muscular, red-eyed, goat-headed demon, fire licks up from its flaming hooves as it stomps and shuffles around.



Even as Gashur peeks in the goat headed demon on the far side of the room (~30ft away on the far side of the 15ft wide table) looks Gashur in the eyes and snarls, the high ranking cult leader shouting a suprised "We are attacked, slaughter them" as the others reach for the weapons nearby or just pull axes from the their waists...

In the war rooms (that is 35ft square, dominated by a table 15ft wide in the middle. There is 3 cultists on the east side of the table (~20ft from the door) and a higher ranking cult member with them. On the far side is a Brimorak (30ft from the door but yu have a table in the way)

"Slauther yourself, you goat-f***ers!" Shouts Gashur, getting very angry not to have achieved a surprise, to have, like, every other demon in the city soon informed of his presence here, but also in general. He quickly moves into the room, jumps onto the table and proceeds to stab the demon in the heart with the spike of his long-shafted hammer... at least, that was the plan.

He leaps atop the table past the stunned cultists and stabs the point of the hammer of the Brimorak demon the point ripping its wiry chest and the flesh sizzling from the hammer's cold iron construction.

Brimoraks are demons born from the souls of arsonists, and in their fiendish lives, they love nothing more than setting fires. A brimorak stands 3 feet tall and weighs 80 pounds.

• Their hooves are on fire and burn people as can their weapons
• Cold hurts them a lot
• They breathe smoke that can sicken
• And like it seems nearly all demons they have a shocking +8 racial bonus to perception

The demon howls loudly, smoke pouring from its mouth and nose as its hooves glow aflame, as does the axe at its waist. It leaps up onto the table trying to roll under Gashur's hammer as it pulls free the axe that is a dull red with the heat of a forge. The smoke cloying and suffocating poor Gashur.

Talisin sees the creature and recognises it, a Brimorak, just as he is about to inform his companions about the creature and as he's raising his bow he feels a strange urge overcome him, there's a weight and he drops to one knee freezing in place, he's filled with horror, he can think and is aware of what's happening he just cannot move, not even to speak or scream!

Mong starts a chant to boost everyone's fighting skill, "
When the night has come, and the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we will see
No, I won't be afraid, oh, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me"

Gashur does not quite like steaming and hissing blood the demon is losing, so decides to go for a hammer smack in the head this time. He steps back to have some range to swing the hammer, but also a bit to the side to prevent any remaining cultists from moving past the table and out of the room, then makes that swing.

Gashur keeps raging, so AC 13 for the round. If he can switch to the external source (ragesong) without getting fatigued, he does that.
