"I was thinking that, if we find something related to Nethys in our next site, we could trade it with you." Snips pauses. "And if we plan it now, it'll make things easier if we do." She smiles.

[Miry]

Velriana think for a few seconds than answer.

"I'll tell you what. I heard some marchants talk about an auction that will be held in the evening 2 days from now. For adventurer like us to sell the treasures we found. We can meet right here, in the afternoon before the auction, and if you have anything that is of interrest to me, i'll buy it from you for a price you will not found anywhere else."

[Hazuki]

"That sounds good. I will let my group know. We're the Scribes of the Ashen Crown, if you need to look for us. Have a nice night and you're very pretty. Bye!" Snips says, then skulks back to their table and raps lightly on it. "I just made friends with The Scorched Hand, learned about an auction, and got a deal if we find anything Nethys-y." She announces to the group. "This civilized stuff is easier than I thought!"

[Rofltrollcopter]

Sensing no particular malice on the group. Xerxes shifted his focus back to his own table. Not evil, just unpleasant. He had no further reason to care about the strangers or their interests.

[DaOldeWolf]

Ron was curious about the whole situation. He wondered about the deal. Could it there be a special reason behind them looking for stuff from Nethys? At least, he was able to collect some coins thanks to his efforts playing in the bar. Every bit of coin helped and could be of use later down the line.

[Miry]

The Scribes of the Ashen Crown take a few more drink while talking before calling it a night and heading to bed for a well deserved night of rest. ( It's the last time you drink/eat/have a room in a inn for free )

They wake up early, eager to visit their third and last site in the Necropolis. They head for the west gate, where the priests of pharasma give them their next destination.

( i gave you the map with the 3 site already on it during the opening lottery, but that's because i'm lazy and didnt want to do one with only one site and a second with the others. sorry )

The priests give their blessings to the group, and they enter the dead city, walking toward their next goal. The sun beats down on the lonely, silent streets of the necropolis. Dust and sand now cover the once-bustling streets, and buildings that were once homes and shops are gradually disintegrating into rubble after centuries of neglect. Scattered throughout the ruins is the occasional palm tree or shrub, kept alive by the broken remnants of a long-abandoned irrigation system. Having navigate the Necropolis a few time already, the group estimate to have a 30 minute walk to their destination.

( i'll let you says if you take a specific formation or do specific action during this travel time. And you can RP again a bit if you wish )

[Hazuki]

Snips strides through the streets with her longspear to help brace her, and Jakku skittering beside her. Far from the relatively easy attitude of the inn the night before, she's ready to face the day and stab the things that look at her mean. Jakku is just happy to be part of the adventure. Both of them keep an eye out for any dangers as they go to their third site.

That morning Xerxes rose with the Dawn, as was proper. For him the Sun was more then a source of heat and light, it was the symbol of all that was best in the world. He raised his arms to the side in Praise of the Sun as he ended his morning prayers.

As the group traveled towards its destination, he nodded approvingly. We've been lucky so far, but complacency has been the death of many a soldier. We need to stay vigilant. He took up position at the head of the Vanguard. He left his flowing travelling robe back at the inn, and Xerxes's breastplate gleamed in the light of the desert sun. An acolyte of Sarenrae had no need to hide. His very presence was intended to be a challenge to any potential enemies.

Wearing the black robes that were customary for clerics of Pharasma, Zhanyae travels slightly behind Xerxes and 'Snips', allowing them to lead the way. She walks without fear or worry, her weapons still fastened to her belt.

"Bah! I doubt we have much fear while out on the streets." The tengu says, waving her hand dismissively "There are only two possible threats, the other treasure hunters and the denizens of these tombs. Both would have to be incredibly foolish to attack us in broad daylight."

[DaOldeWolf]

"We have already done a lot as a team, I am sure we can handle the situation." Ron replied as he travelled as close to the center of the group as possible. He preferred that position since it allowed him to adapt to whatever they could face. Flatnote was flying just besides him.

AMBUSH! Xerxes bellowed as he caught a glimpse of figures hiding among the ruins. He felt his legs tremble as fear began to wear away at his resolve. He knew intellectually that no one among the group had demonstrated particular aptitude for fighting at range. If they ran, they would just be shot in the back. The best they had was to engage them in melee.

Xerxes bellowed as he charged foward. Cowards! come taste Keleshite steel! He kept his shield out in front of him as he ran to block any incoming arrows. Once he closed the gap on his target he brought his scimitar up in an overhead motion.

As Zhanyae sees the men armed with bows and arrows, she stops. Just a few minutes ago she had said that anyone who attacked them in the Necropolis was a fool, and right now the tengu saw little reason to alter that assessment. Did these people really think they could get away with this? Assaulting them out in the open, in broad daylight?

Still, she did not want to spill blood over some misunderstanding. This was already going to be a long day. No need to tire herself out unnecessarily.

Scanning the buildings, Zhanyae Chakk tried to identify their would-be attackers. Were they another team of treasure hunters? Were they members of the Wati City Guard? Were they perhaps even members of the Voices of the Spire? It would be particularly embarrassing to be fighting fellow servants of Pharasma.

And as she looks around, the cleric calls out. "I don't know about you young men, but back in my day we didn't point weapons at someone unless we were planning on using them. Please lower your bows, and come out and talk with us. Let there be no more violence in this place, where the Plague of Madness once tore apart the city."

But while she hopes for a peaceful resolution, Zhanyae does not count on it. She slowly takes her light crossbow off of her belt, keeping the weapon pointed at the ground as she takes a 5-foot step back.

The stroll through the Necropolis has not lost its luster. Ever since the gates first opened a few days ago, Nyrius has marvelled at the ancient architecture and the various implications he's drawn from his resulting notes and sketches. He has at least a dozen full pages now, all from structures and finds that date back to before the Plague of Madness and the Kele****e satrapy. He's been quietly humming along an old even tune, his head buried in his papyrus as he often does when there are other watchers about. So intense has been his excitement, he has let his caution and common sense leave him.

It's a sobering reality, then, when the Scribes are attacked by none other than common bandits with bows in the shadows of the ancient pillars. Perhaps the Necropolis has lost its luster after all. "Have you no shame?!" The elf cries as their assailants launch arrows in the direction of his current adventuring companions. "This is a holy place, and you defile it by coming here to shed the blood of the living! You ignore even the warnings of a Pharasmin cleric, by whose grace these doors have been opened after millennia!" While he is not entirely sold on the god of death, at least Zhenyae - and the rest of their colourful group, in fact - puts her faith in something other than brute force. Except perhaps for Snips, but that girl is another matter entirely.

When the net falls on Xerxes, Nyrius is about to act when he sees Snips herself move to cut it. Deeming the matter close at hand, the spellcaster moves on to his next priority: self-preservation. He has some offensive spells in his arsenal for certain, but given how spread out the enemy seems to be and the unfavourable terrain, protecting himself while he gauges where to best apply his force seems more efficient. So, with a flick of his wrist, Nyrius pulls out a plain looking wand and activates the enchantment on it, providing himself with a ward.

Spoiler: Round 1 Actions

Show

Nyrius is going to use his swift action to activate his wrist sheath, then use his standard action to cast mage armor on himself. As far as movement goes, he will probably stick with the center of the group for now, or as close as possible, so move him as needed Miry.

My plan is to hit one or two of them with a magic missile, but I want to wait to see people land some hits first so that there's a better chance that they do anything and I know who to target. I would have cast grease, but right now it's not effective given how spread out everyone is.

If anyone wants an Augment (+2 Str or Dex) or an enlarge person, let me know. That can also be arranged for future rounds.

Xerxes cursed as the net fell about his form. He knew that blindly struggling would only cause him to further trap himself. He stood his ground and tried to brace his shield as best he could. Unfortunately the net wrapped his shield arm against his chest, and it created an opening for the archer to hit him in the gut. He started to panic as he felt his warm blood running down the front of his body.

It took Xerxes every inch of self discipline he had to keep himself still as he watched the waif charge his position with her weapon drawn high. She cut the net from his form with one deft notion. He nodded gratefully in her direction in her direction, before he took off after their assailants.

A single arrow penetrated Zhanyae's arm, staining her once black vestments with crimson. But while the wound was painful, it was not enough to stop her. Taking careful aim, the tengu loosed a crossbow bolt at the one that had dared to harm her, the foolish man hiding in the ruins opposite her.

She did not wait to see if her retailation had been fatal. Turning around, she moved up and into the building behind her. Zhanyae had seen a net being thrown from up above, so at least one of them was in there. She had not come here to kill others, but it seemed they had little choice.

Better to smite their foes swiftly, and hope for forgiveness from the church later.

Despite his best efforts to the contrary, an arrow finds its way between Nyrius' ribs. Although he tries to hold it back, a soft cry of pain escapes his lips, cutting off his tirade before he can begin it anew. His keen elven eyes surveying the battlefield before him, he spots the noble Xerxes and the fearsome Jakku engaged in close quarters with a ruffian who simply refuses to submit despite his injuries. The idea of vengeance is tempting, but the needs of the group must come the needs of the one.

Sparing the man who shot him a steely glance as though to say 'I'm not done with you', Nyrius raises his arm. He expected to use this particular incantation against more otherworldly foes - or supernatural at the very least - and the idea of wasting it like this irks him greatly. Then again, he's in rather a lot of pain, and it's making it hard to think. So, focusing on the target before him, the mage releases the spell. A pair of nearly invisible bolts of force explode from his fingertips, curving unerringly around the nearby rubble to slam into two bandits' chests.

That done, the wizard scurries to find a better position, one less likely to result in him being perforated by hostile foreign objects. Screwing the cap off of his leather case, the transmuter finds what he was looking for. He smiles slowly.

Xerxes growled as the thug's curved weapon slipped under his breastplate. Trusting his companions to finish off the weakened foe, he stepped to the side to place Snips between him and the other thug that charged him. The groups backline was still being attacked. They had to put an end to this fight as quickly as possible. He stowed his shield and used both of his hands to grip his scimitar. Sarenrae, preserve us!

With a startled squawk, Zhanyae Chakk just narrowly avoided the bag of sludge that the enemy had lobbed down at her. Seeing that the man on top of the building had now swapped out his bow for a khopesh, the tengu ultimately decided that it would do her no good to engage him in close quarters, not when he had the high ground and was so obviously aware of her presence.

Snips tightens her grip on her falchion as another arrow soars towards her, thankfully only cutting her skin as it passes by this time. "Zhanyae!" She yells out to the Cleric. She learned in the first expedition that not accepting the Tengu's healing would be stupid. She and Jakku charge together towards the fleeing enemy.
