Escape From Thulcandra!

[Protagonist]

The crown takes over the mind of the assassin, giving Alana control.

Amunet chants something under her breath a little while, and then an orb forms in her hand. She then tosses it at the Assassin. Suddenly, there's a big explosion of lightning! The assassin explodes. She then angrily declares "Assassination is one thing, but when you break my stained glass windows...have you no decency!?"

Everyone in the room gets a strong feeling they should not break stained glass windows.

Neon Valkyrie : It's your turn!

Updated Map:

 

[Neon Valkyrie]

Though tempted by natural tendencies to break a stained glass window, Alya is more focused on the beating her team-mate across the table is taking, though from her vantage point she can only see his legs. Switching to her rapier, Alya leaps back onto the table. Seeing one of the assassins is gravely injured, and another is enchanted by Alana, the short blonde scampers forward to attack the unaffected assassin, sure to put her target between she and

[+7 for attack with finesse, advantage for the flank, sneak attack with the rapier. Hold my remaining move and my cunning action.]

[Result=[/B] Aright, what do we have ... 23 to hit, 15 Dmg total.(1+4Dex+2+5+3)]

 

[Protagonist]

[@Neon Valkyrie: Make an acrobatics check]

 

[Neon Valkyrie]

Protagonist ((Dex alone))

[... daaaym, 7]

 

[Protagonist]

Alya struggles to climb over the table. She makes it to the top, but doing so requires her whole movement action. She may still make a ranged attack, however.

 

[Neon Valkyrie]

[In that case I'll use my cunning action to dash and complete the move, then attack as I originally intended.]

 

[Protagonist]

...She stabs right through the chest of the assassin-straight through the heart. The assassin looks down a moment, seeing the rapier pierce out of his chest. He laughs a moment and says "N-nice one..." Before falling off of her sword, very dead.

Lewis then fires his thunder carbine at the assassin who attacked him. (+6)

 

[Protagonist]

The attack hits!

Machine gun fire cuts down the assassin by the dumbwaiter! They collapse on the ground, dead.

JayTee You're up!

 

[JayTee]

Lucas continue to press his assault on the Assassin in front of him, thrusting once as a feint, then twice more, aiming for the vital areas.

Spoiler: OOC

First attack, 1d20+7 for 15 to hit.
Damage roll if successful, 1d6+4 for 7 damage
Second attack, 1d20+7 for 17 to hit.
Damage roll of successful, 1d6+4 for 10 damage

 

[Protagonist]

The assassin tries to evade, but he was not prepared for Lucas's assault! The swords mortally wound him but he's still up.
With what little strength is left in him, he attacks Lucas with a flurry of blows!

[First attack: Hit! 4 Damage!]
The first blow hits Lucas on the chest for minimum damage. His armor seems to have absorbed the worst of the impact.

[Second attack: Miss!]
The second attack is completely absorbed by Lucas's armor.

[Third attack: Miss!]
And again. It appears that this assassin doesn't have much left in him.

Amunet smiles and says "Too easy" then makes a handsign before facing her palm at the assassin Lucas has attacked. A bolt of radiant energy comes out towards the assassin.

[Dex saving throw: Crit!]

The assassin raises a hand aglow with Ki. The beam hits it, and reflects the attack right back at Amunet!

[Dex saving throw: Success]

Amunet quickly dodges out of the way, and is unharmed.


Neon Valkyrie you're up!

There is only one assassin remaining, the one that Lucas is fighting right now.

 

[Neon Valkyrie]

Blu3 O,O Alya waits patiently for her turn, having already acted this round.

 

[Blu3]

(Wait. Did you skip me?)

 

[Protagonist]

(Wait. Did you skip me?)

[Oh, darn it, I did! You were supposed to go in between the assassin and the pharoah!]
[Is it alright if you go now?]

 

[Blu3]

Alana looks at the only left assassin that uses Ki. She brings her hand up (Loses Sanctuary) and launches a fire bolt. (1d20+7) (2d10 Fire damage)

(Sorry for short post)

 

[Protagonist]

The firebolt hits the enemy square in the head! The enemy is very badly injured, and falls prone. He is, however, still conscious.

 

[Neon Valkyrie]

Alya, sensing that it might be inherently useful to question one of these ne'er-do-wells, charges the last, seriously injured assassin, his face still sizzling from Alana's deftly-aimed fireball. Launching herself at the fallen assassin ...

[Use my move to approach him, hop on and try to pin him using Dex (Acrobatics) untrained. I don't get advantage because it's not strictly an attack, so here goes; A roll off at +4 ...]

[Pfft, so that's a fail ... well, unless the assassin rolls a 1 ...]

 

[Protagonist]

[And the Assassin rolls a nat 1]

Alya manages to pin the assassin down.
Lewis says "Everyone help hold him down!" and starts running towards the assassin.

[Shall we end the combat here?]

 

[JayTee]

With the last of the assassins dead or detained, Lucas sheathed his sword after giving it a quick wipe to get the blood off of it. "So. What the hell was that about?" He asked. "And am I getting paid for this or what?"

 

[Protagonist]

Amunet says "Yes. Sorry for this...inconvenience."
She sits back in her chair and then sighs. She goes on "Anyways...there's some ruins we found. We were hoping you'd be able to search them for us. The pay is 300 gold. Since you were helpful, you get 100 gold up-front".

 

[Neon Valkyrie]

With her lips pursed thoughtfully, Alya nodded at the offer ... 300 gold was a little slim, but then with ruins came the chance for rare treasures and lost riches. This simple statement, however, bloomed a whole bouquet of questions in her mind. First and foremost, was someone going to deal with the assassin? She was going to need her rope back ...

After a guard detained the man properly, handing the article back to the short rogue, Alya moved back to her seat, snugging it up to the table and steepling her fingers in front of her.

"I think we need a little more information than that ... For one thing, if it was your people who found it, what gives you pause going inside? What kind of ruins did you find, a crypt, or perhaps an old fort? If we should find something of value during our delve, is it to be part of our payment, or are you laying claim to everything inside? And who were those assassins, truly? If we are to operate under your auspice, I must assume we're going to draw the attention of those who wish to do you harm ... it would be nice to know who will be skulking around in the shadows before they strike."

Alya maintained a pleasant lilt as she spoke, and the smile never left her face, but she didn't seem like she was going anywhere without a little bit of information. She'd been handed one too many raw deals in her lifetime to let it go so easily.
