Triäsa agrees that now is probably the time to try to get into the tower.  Although it seems likely the Sisters will be there. She moves to follow Ludolf when he goes out, waving on Klin as well.

Seeing the false Jaralaxe try to trip Ludolf,  she pauses just a moment, looking him in the eye, while running a finger across his chest near the top of his shirt. "Guess you better hope you picked the right side."

After saying that, she sings a few words in Primordial (Terran), a rough and guttural sound, as she makes a motion to cast Prestidigitation, causing the area where she touched his shirt to be soiled with what appears to be blood.

She then hurries after Ludolf.

Pardot chuckles seeing the drow's clothing suddenly soiled, but simply follows along with the others. Gripping his staff tightly and mumbling something to himself in Druidic, as the group moves down the hallway they all suddenly find their footsteps seemingly land more quietly

Daventry takes advantage of Pardot's spell, stalking Seth quickly and quietly, trying to determine where he's leading him. 

Stealth: 27

Faux-Jaralaxe screeches in terror as the illusion appears on his chest. He quickly rips his shirt off to inspect his wound. When he realizes his folly he mutters, "*****... you all will pay for this." Jarlaxe will remember this.

As you all get outside you see Ilam being escorted by two servants, one on each side with Seth following very closely behind him. Ilam does not seem real eager to be in the the company of these three but it appears he has little option.

Thanks to Pardot's spell they have not seen you yet but in about 6 seconds they are going to walk right past you and there is really no where to hide. 

Daventry holds tight, hidden behind the pillar. "Try not to kill 'em, unless shit gets weird, aye?" she whispers.

Shield in one hand, no sword in the other yet, she gives a countdown. 3, 2, 1...

The group moves past, and her countdown ends with a finger snap. Her sword appears in her hand, swirling from aetheric nothingness, and she rushes the closest silent servant, attempting to bash him with blade-hilt and board. (Nonlethal attacks)

Bonus: Summon Runeblade Rapier

Attack: 14 Damage: 10

Attack 2: 18 Damage: 11

(if these attacks are at advantage from being hidden: attack 1 28, attack 2 9)

Initiative: 9

(extra die for crit if it applied: 8)

(Surprise round it is! Go ahead and take your turns and feel free to roll your initiative on your turn. I'll roll for NPCs in a bit)

Ludolf stealth roll: 28

As Daventry rushes the closest silent servant Ludolf turns his piercing gray eyes on the other servant, swiftly cursing it (Hex, dex) before blasting it twice with grey crackling eldritch force.

Eldritch blast: 28 Force: 11 Necrotic: 5 Extra roll if considered hidden: 22
Eldritch blast: 10 Force: 7 Necrotic: 2 Extra roll if considered hidden: 17

Ludolf initiative: 14

(Triäsa Initiative: 5, Stealth, if needed: 17)

Triäsa casts Force Bolt targeting same servant Ludolf did (if not up, then the one Daventry targeted, or if neither then Seth).

(Spell Attack: 21 Damage: 13 force)

Creeping down behind his friends ((stealth 26)), Pardot ((initiative 23)) will continue to concentrate on Pass Without Trace, and using the fact of being unseen as well as hoping to finish this fight before it starts will aim a produce flame at the same foe being targeted by his friends.

Attack: 28 Damage: 15

(My god you all can do alot of damage...)

Daventry you lay into the servant and as your blows land solidly something seems strange... where you expect flesh and bone the person feels soft... almost like a pillow stuffed with hay. Regardless your attacks severely injure whatever this creature is and combined with both of Ludolf's magical attacks the creature drops to the ground dead. 

Seeing the first servant drop to the ground Triäsa and Pardot turn their attention to the second servant and pummel it with their magic. The creature does not bleed or howl in pain despite the fire and bolts of force laying into it's body but an empty rage emanates from it's eyes.

Klin taking a que from the rest of you rushes toward the remaining servant. Unsheathing his book as he does he swings it with a graceful fury. 

Attack: 22 Damage 3 Flurry of Blows: Attack 27 Attack 25 Damage: 8 Damage: 7

Initiatives:

Daventry: 9

Ludolf: 14

Triäsa 5

Pardot: 23

Klin: 15

Ilam: 20

Seth: 12

Servant 2: 4

Klin swings wide with his with book but his follow up punch lands directly into the servant's face but his knee finds nothing but air.

Seth let's out an inhuman growl as he witnesses your unexpected assault. "You have no idea the kind of power you are messing with!"

Round 1 Begin! Pardot and Ludolf are up!

Initiatives:

1. • Pardot
   • Ludolf
   • Klin
   • Seth
   • Daventry
   • Ilam
   • Triäsa
   • Servant 2

"Oh, we know enough." Ludolf snarls at Seth and turns his piercing gray eyes on him, swiftly placing his Hex on him before blasting him twice with gray crackling eldritch force.

Eldritch blast: 21  Force: 15  Necrotic: 3
Eldritch blast: 28  Force: 9  Necrotic: 4

He continues to stay close to Triäsa, if possible positioning himself between her and the enemies

(Extra crit damage: 7 + 1 )

Ludolf's bolt blast Seth directly in the chest as he sneers, "You'll die first old man." A devilish hatred in his voice.

Klin continues his onslaught against the servant as he whips his book at him and follows the attack with a swift kick and punch.

Book Club: 21 Damage: 3 Punch: 12 Damage: 6 Kick: 24 Damage: 6

Klin's furious assault knocks the silent servant to the ground in a heavy heap. Despite it's many injuries no blood weeps from any of it's wounds.

Only Seth remains standing, he does not seem worried about the quick fall of his escort.

Pardot is up!

Initiative:

• • Pardot
  • Ludolf
  • Klin
  • Seth
  • Daventry
  • Ilam
  • Triäsa

   

Wanting to save his resources for later, Pardot simply produces another flame in his hand and throws it at the false halfling from his position in the back.

Attack: 23 Damage: 10

The fire strikes Seth and he seems to almost chuckle at your magics, "I was born of the flame you fool! Let me show you how it works!" Seth jumps into the air... but instead of falling down he continues to rise in the air until he is 30 feet off the ground. The way he flies it is almost as if he has a pair of invisible wings.

He sets his eyes at Ludolf first and a jet of flame flies from his pupils at the old man.

Attack: 25 Damage: 11

He then quickly shifts his gaze to Pardot and fire a second ray of fire

Attack: 27 Damage: 11

It appears Seth is no longer ******* around.

Daventry is up!

The jet of flame hits into Ludolf, singeing his shoulder, making him wince in pain.
Ludolf concentration: 10
"Is that the best you can do?" Ludolf snarls, turning his gaze on the now flying Seth.
