    Audric focuses inwards for a couple of seconds "Make that the two of them. The other is an adept of sorts" he amends "And both somewhat powerful, too. As for plans... " he shrugs "I'd prefer to listen in on them before barging in. Let's see if we can hide somewhere"

    ((Ajadea, somewhere we can hide to eavesdrop? I'll roll hide and listen checks just in case, to save time. Ignore if not relevant.

    EDIT: gah at the awful listen check. Don't suppose I can take 10 or 20, can I?

    There is a soft squelchy sound, coming from somewhere to your right. You turn and see something. It looks a bit like someone put octopus tentacles on a human head and splashed some red paint over the whole thing.


    Rowan, Rana, and Antal:

    Spoiler
    Show
    A thing jumps out of the shadows. It is wearing tarnished, but well-made, full plate, sans helmet. Its skin is covered in a thin layer of red-tinted slime. Four tentacles surround its mouth. It wields a greataxe, and smells of sewage. It swings at Rowan, who is nearest, and the axe just barely misses her.

    Do my Inspiration points get recharged, or does this count as the same encounter?

    And go! Rowan's turn, then the thing in full plate, then Antal, then Rana, and I'll put Shadow after Rana.

    Rowan slices deep into the thing, which shrieks in pain. It swings at her in turn.

    Opposed Attacks
    (1d20+6)[13]
    (1d20+8)[16]

    (1d12+5)[15]

    It nearly cuts her greatsword in half before backing away.

    I was about to ask the same question. Okay, then - sorry, guys. .
    Ajadea, do you prefer to finish the battle before continuing with Audric and Llaars' listen checks?

    You can hear the women arguing. "-won't slow them down! Damned paladins could slice him up before- "Calm down, Tracy! I did outfit him with superior armor and weapons." "Armor be damned, I'm still shocked you could even consider-" "I have never cared for him. It is no sacrifice on my part." "But he's your-" "ENOUGH!" the second woman yells. Her voice echoes and resonates with power. "Unless you wish to experience his fate first-hand, do not continue PESTERING ME!"

    Audric tightens his mouth. Even if he isn't sure about the outcome of the confrontation (the woman that yelled seems pretty powerful), for how he sees it he has to intervene, if for nothing else but to protect the other woman if things get ugly.
    That doesn't mean he has to drag Llaars with him, however. He turns to him, whispering: "I'm afraid that was all the evidence I needed, and that's where I knock on their door and start asking questions. You do not have to come, if you don't want to - you're not a paladin, after all, and this might very possibly turn for the worst for us."

    He looks eager to act but his energy is tempered by your presence. He turns to the door and knocks.

    "Very well" Audric replies, grateful. He stands a couple of steps back when Llaars knocks, if possible, so as to not be immediately visible. He is tense and on the ready, but hasn't draawn his weapon yet.

    Rana murmurs something in druidic while passing her hands over herself and Shadow. She then moves, Shadow at her side, up to the creature, drawing her scimitar and giving a command in druidic as she goes. Shadow bites at the creature, attempting to pull it down.

    Casting bull's strength, using share spells to affect both Rana and Shadow. 30 rounds remaining. I'm hoping you will allow them to use their move actions simultaneously, otherwise they won't be able to move and maintain the shared spell.

    She commanded Shadow to attack.
    Shadow:
    (1d20+8)[13] for (1d6+5)[6]
    If he hits, he attempts to trip the creature: (1d20+5)[11] (no attack of opportunity, can't attempt to trip Shadow if Shadow's attempt fails).
