Cypress seeks revenge and goes after the Green Ruffian. He sticks his claws into the Green Ruffians stomach but the leather stops it except for one fingernail that pierces through making the Ruffian slightly uncomfortable (1 Damage to Green Ruffian).
Fawn whirls her blades at the Yellow Ruffian but she is too cocky and underestimates her opponent who blocks one slash and ducks the other!
Halben reaches his hand out and gives a smile to the Green Ruffian and says, "Come now. Why are we fighting friend?". Halben casts Charm Person.
Green Ruffian Wisdom Saving Throw: 9
The Green Ruffian fails his saving throw and is now charmed by Halben!
About this time Conway unleashes another Eldritch blast this time into the Yellow Ruffian! Dealing 11 Force Damage. The Yellow Ruffian is still standing but is hurt!
Green RedBrand (1 Point of Cumulative Damage) Charmed
Yellow RedBrand (11 Points of Cumulative Damage)
Cypress
Fawn
Halben
Conway
**GREEN REDBRAND TURN**
The Green RedBrand will use their action to lower their weapon and respond to Halben. "Oh! I'm sorry I didn't recognize you from the bar! Let's stop this senseless fighting."
**YELLOW REDBRAND**
The Yellow RedBrand turns to the Green Redbrand confused. "Stop fighting?! They just killed Jeff and Pete! Oh no! You're under their magic!"
The Yellow RedBrand turns to run to get into the Cellar Door. This provokes Attacks of Opportunity from Fawn and Conway.
Fawn and Conway make use their Reactions if they wish to make an Attack of Opportunity against the Yellow RedBrand. Everyone may also post their next turns!
Conway goes to his knees.. “friends please help me. Get me to the doctor” Conway says as he continues to bleed out
Seeing that he may be ok lying down for a moment. He just drops on the ground and says “forget it. Get their gold and let’s question this fellow here.” Conway says
Cypress approaches the charmed red brand, “ hey friend, I believe you and your company was holding some money of ours, where is it now? And do you have any healing potions?”
As Cypress questions the green redbrand Fawn goes to the 3 dead redbrands and loots their bodies. When she’s done she takes off their cloaks and passes them out to Conway and Halben as she puts the remaining on on herself.
“This is what I found on them(holiding put her hands). These cloaks might come in handy down the line”
I would like to question the redbrand with them to make sure he doesn't try to lie to them. Important questions I would like to ask include and not limited to:
1. How many members are there in the hideout?
2. Anyone of exceptional power? (maybe a wizard or a strong fighter. for context I would consider them weak)
3. His level in the gang (aka is he on the low end or high end)
4. Any traps?
5. Where is all their loot and money (including our stuff)
etc.
I still haven't decided on what I want to do with him after the charm is over. I guess it depends on how useful he is...
OOC: I don't want to write out a list of 100 questions but I think depending on his level in the guild that he gives us all the relative knowledge he knows and if it becomes important you could maybe just answer the question then?
The Green RedBrand looks at the now dead Yellow RedBrand and shrugs his shoulders. "Ugh, I don't know what his problem is. Anyway, we never were properly introduced my name's Albante and I'm real sorry about taking your coin. We just wanted some money to survive. We left you with you weapons and armor in hopes that you would be able to make some more as we could tell you all were somethin' special!"
Albante smiles and walks over to the grate where there are four piles of coins. "Here is every drop of your coin. We didn't have time to spend anything and were splittin' it up before going into the hideout as we didn't want to lose more of our cut than we should."
Albante shakes his head no and addresses Cypress, "Sorry friend, we do not get healing potions as many people will not do business with us in town and they are not very common to steal."
Albante then turns to Halben, "So many questions! Don't worry, I'll tell you what I know. We haven't been in the Manor today so I'm not sure how many people are in there right now. We come and go doing jobs when we can. I will tell you we have some captives in an area near the old crypts which are guarded by skeletons! Can you believe that?! Skeletons just walking around. That magic stuff is why Glass Staff had such an interest in us finding you. Well I assume it's you. He heard there was another magic user around and he's not one for competition!"
Albante laughs jovially, " You can almost bet Glass Staff is in the manor right now! You can bet he's powerful. All you magic users are. Besides that strong wise you gotta watch out for those Bugbears the Black Spider sent us. Those things stink but man are they strong!"
Albante smiles like he is having the best time ever, " I'm pretty low on the gang totem pole myself. If I wasn't I wouldn't be out here robbin' kind folks like you. I sure am glad we are friends now. Maybe I can join you and be an adventurer? I never wanted this life but I just didn't see a choice."
Albante, "There aren't traps exactly but that dang place is cavin' in! After falling through a few floor boards you learn to keep an eye out for weak points or you'll find yourself with a broke back!"
Albante then says, "Well, your stuffs right there but we have a storeroom in the manor where we store stuff we raid. Of course, we aren't the most organized so it's stored all over. Now, down below in the lower portion there is a one eyed monster! Don't go near it friend! We leave it alone and it leaves us alone!"

OOC: Just let me know what you want to do next. The Redbrand is charmed for one hour. After, he will know that you charmed him and you are not sure how he will respond. Therefore, you have a few minutes left to ask any questions you feel like you want to. Then I need to know what you want to do with the Redbrand and what your next move is.
Feel free to keep armor and weapons you fine but know that eventually the weight will overcome your character. You will know when this happens as it will tell you that you are encumbered.
Conway sees that the rest is over and that the charm Halben cast is close to being over.
Conway steps behind the Redbrand and begins patting his shoulder and smiling. Slowly gaining his trust. “Well buddy I honestly believe you would make a great addition to our group and i will give you one task to prove yourself if you really want to join... you really want it right?” Conway asks and sees the Redbrand smiling like a giddy schoolboy.
“Do you see those deer over there?” Conway asks as he points at some deer around 200 yards away past Alderleaf. The Redbrand young man begins to focus on the tree line and then says “I see th......”. At that moment Conway brings his silver sickle all the way through the throat of the Redbrand.... Decapitating him.
Conway bends over and cleans the blade of his sickle off on the redbrands shirt and pulls the red cloak off his lifeless body. He then goes through the pockets to see what else is there for the picking.
"Well we didn't have to kill him did we? Guess it is too late to ponder about that now. What shall we do now? We have their cloaks and a disguise kit so maybe we could try to sneak in? With all the talk about the wizards, I think it may not be in our best interested to try and take the place with no plan and just brute strength." Halben says while packing the loot in his bag.
“I agree” Fawn says. “But how are we supposed to know where everything is and the layout?”
“If we head back to town or waste any time we run the risk of them being alerted that their guards have disappeared. Maybe we just sneak in and take is very slow. Take them out one at a time as we encounter them and make as little noise as possible”
“That or the not so safe way of drawing them out by causing a large distraction outside the castle?”
“I’m with Fawn” Conway says. “We do have the cloaks which would give us the element of surprise on most individuals we come across. They will never expect us”
OoC- Conway also has an item called the mask of many faces and can change into whoever he wants to at will. Maybe that can be useful as well
“That is usful Conway! Maybe change into the guy we just talked to that will distract them! and we will sneak around behind and slit their throats one by one”

Conway uses his reaction for an attack of opportunity with his [item]Dagger[/roll].
Attack- 6 Damage- 6
.
The Yellow Redbrand is met with a dagger in the back. With a gasp the life leaves his body.
You are now out of initiative. Do as you will!
Conway goes to his knees.. “friends please help me. Get me to the doctor” Conway says as he continues to bleed out
