Selena grins at this. " I will bring Eddarly out here now. " She concentrates and suddenly looks like Mrs Mott. " I will have him joining us very shortly. " She winks and then sashays away. Selena instructs Poe to find out where Eddarly is currently located. Once she knows she will seek him out in a private area. Frowning as walks towards him she whispers, " Help me. We have a serious problem. Please wait a few minutes and then meet me in the grove. It is urgent. " She looks stricken the whole time she looks at him. Mrs Mott then moves briskly away and towards the grove. " Poe, keep an eye on him and let me know where he goes. " The raven replies " Of course my wonderful mistress". She then moves in a round about way to the grove.
Poe finds Captain Eddarly in town and points Selena in the right direction. The captain gives a simple nod of acknowledgement as he parts ways with 'Mrs Mott'
Soon enough, the Captain has left town and is approaching the grove. He's unarmored save for the light leather jerkin that is his normal uniform, but he bears a sword at his waist.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Coordinating with his erstwhile allies, Blau is alerted to the oncoming Captain and he casts spells to bolster his weapon. When the signal is given, he stomps in, swinging with a mighty blow at the startled Captain!
OOC - Blessings of Fire and Unholy on his Quarterstaff. His move is 20', so he'll move after everyone else has engaged, since he's waiting for the attack signal, and then swing.

Quarterstaff Attack: 17 Damage: 5, Fire 1, Unholy vs Good 3
“Can you tell me the difference between a witch and a wizard?" "Sure, a wizard is what they call you when they want to hire you, and a witch is what they call you when they're getting ready to run you out of town.” SunWolf replied ― Barbara Hambly, The Witches of Wenshar
As Eddarly enters the grove, he see Kaitlyn Mott, still looking anxious. He is hurrying towards her when he hears a sharp voice. "I knew I'd find you here!" The lovers turn to see Captain Mott glaring at them, brandishing what are obviously some of Kaitlyn's love letters to her paramour. "One way or another, Eddarly, your career is over. As for you," he scowls as 'his wife,' "faithless *****, you shall also be punished!" As Captain Mott strides forward, he unbuckles his sword belt and allows it to drop to the ground. He proceeds to slap Eddarly with a leather glove and drops it on the ground, then steps back a few paces. "Come then! I shall thrash you first, then my darling bride." He puts up his fists, ready to engage in unarmed combat.
"And once Eddarly drops his sword, or moves to attack me with it anyway, you all get the jump on him. Especially you, dear Kaitlyn," Respar had planned with his comrades. Selena, still looking like a worried Kaitlyn, grinned.
Eddarly stands there in shock, but only for a moment. His face hardens and he draws his blade. "No, if it is over, then Kaitlynn and I are leaving. You will not lay a hand on her, ever."
"You can attack me and lose, for her sake I will try to merely wound you, but you will lose. Or you can let us leave and tell others, whatever the hells you want to tell them."
OOC - Blau goes on his init and does his less than spectacular attack, likely long after everyone else.

Kaitlynn looks at her husband in fear. As Eddarly moves to protect her she draws out a hidden dagger. Summoning dark energies she drives the blade with supernatural force. She channels some of her dark energy through her blade. It reaches to the living and tries to sap them of life.
She attacks using her Headstone Breaking Strike maneuver. If it hits he will lose 1D4 points from a physical ability stat of my choice. It will reduce his dex.

Once battle is truly joined, Blau stands solidly, bare feet connected with his element, and he strikes out at this foolish pawn of Mitra, hoping to beat sense into it's soft, surfaced head! "Mitra is deceiving you, foolish human! Time to reveal the Truth to you!"

Kiven confidently strolls out from the tree cover without any disguise, making sure Eddarly can see him. He wears an evil grin, mutters a word of elven and snaps his fingers to cast Daze on the Captain. "How I do lament not giving you a choice, a chance to serve, but alas the circumstances demand otherwise."
Initiative: 18
Will save vs Daze, DC 16 if I understand things correctly
Captain Eddarly starts as Kiven steps out and casts a spell, although he simply shrugs it off, "You! I knew you were up to no good. Mott, we must settle this later, this man is the greater threat." He steps in front of 'Kaitlynn', only to stiffen in shock as she promptly stabs him in the back. Blau charges out and attacks, but misses the wiry captain. Eddarly lashes out in turn, his thin sword scoring a shallow cut along Blau's stony arm. Ozette has a little more luck, cutting into the captain's thigh.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Respar curses and mutters, "It was worth a shot," as he retrieves his rapier. He then moves, looking as if he is going to menace Blau, but turns and attacks Eddarly instead.
Kaitlyn ( Selena ) frowns at Eddarly " Sorry my love that it has to be like this. " She then gestures at him claiming his soul. " You are mine now. No getting away. " She thrusts forward with the dagger hoping to sap his energy again.
OOC: She used a harbinger ability to claim him. That restored her maneuver used last turn as a swift action. Selena then attacks again trying to reduce his dex.
Kiven smiles as Eddarly shrugs off his Daze spell and says excitedly "ooh, this one has some real fight in him." "What a waste..." He furrows his brow while focusing on a stronger spell but still smiles as he waves an open palm and mutters another word in Elvish.
Ear Piercing Scream with Persistent Spell
(thus level 2 slot because of Magical Lineage, I believe. Two saves to pass vs Daze and try to halve the damage. DC17 (lvl 1) or DC18 (lvl 2) with metamagic?)
Kiven casts a spell once more, and this time Captain Eddarly staggers under an unseen impact. He is unable to strike out, finding it hard enough just fending off members the knot.
Blau, Ozette, and Respar miss regardless, but Selena strikes home, siphoning away even more of the captain's energy.
Blau, chuckling deeply as the agile Captain avoids the various attacks of the group, steps a bit to the side and strikes out again with his staff, the dark wood limned by the twisting, dark wreathed flames. "Spin all you want, pawn, I'll end your turning soon!"
FoB Attack 1: 7 Damage: 11

Respar quickly retrieves his weapon, but in his haste to assist his comrades, he mistimes his thrust, not striking Eddarly. He moves about, doing his best to find a good opening.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Oh my, what's wrong, my dear Captain?"
Kiven pauses long enough to see most attacks miss against Eddarly despite the sorcerer's assault on his mind. With a sigh Kiven lifts a small crossbow from beneath his robes and says to himself softly "must I resort to such means already?"
Eddarly takes a stab wound in the side, and then a quarrel from Kiven carves a path along the skin of his thigh. The captain, beset on all sides and losing strength, drops his sword and puts his hands up in surrender, "Fine, you win. Do what you will with me, but wherever you've put the real Kaitlynn, just let her go."
As the man is bound, Blau takes the precaution of running Detect Magic over him to ensure there isn't anything that could free him or in other ways cause trouble. Once it's settled, he steps back and let's the interrogation occur, watching for any unnecessary roughness.
