Hugging an inner wall and behind a post, magically sheltered by pass without trace, Adam a.k.a. The Marlboro Man watches and grins as Shavaris goes in to attack with alacrity the crew they have been tasked by Strahd to destroy. Unfortunately, the poor receptionist was the first to meet with her wrath. Adam remains hidden in the shadows, but moving and positioning himself to watch her back, waiting to strike this “Egon” character that was called by the receptionist. His hand automatically goes for his lightsaber, unlatching it and getting ready for him to appear.
Stealth : 25
Held Action :
When “Egon” appears, or any of his associates move to attack Shavaris or any other members of the party, Adam moves out of the shadows and attacks with his lightsaber.
Lightsaber swing 1 : 30 to hit, for 17 points of slashing damage and 7 points of radiant damage, hit point maximum reduced by 7 points.
Lightsaber swing 2 : 32 to hit for 14 points of slashing damage and 11 points of radiant damage, hit point maximum reduced by 11 points.

The sirens off put Ralik. He looks around confused and nervous about the strange commotion. Up until now he had been standing there blank faced and slack jawed with a hint of worry as the verbal exchange went on about things he had no real clue about.
Then two daggers were in the woman. The suddenness of it struck against Ralik's sensibilities, but he just gritted his teeth and changed gears.
Ralik's face goes grim as two longswords appear in his closed fists. He positions by the door leading to the garage in anticipation of an enemy coming through. Watching the others for reactions, he waits to see if anyone that comes through this door is either friend or foe before attacking or not. The frogs intrigue him a bit but he pushes that out of his mind as well. he had no clue about the capabilities of his fellows after so long, so he just trusted them for now. what else was there?
He didn't know much, but he knew to never let his guard down, and to ever be ready to tap into that inner being that he used as a survival and coping mechanism. This other side of him that was cultivated in the fight for freedom against Strahd's captivity, was now out. The Savage was now out.
Warvin sighs and shakes off the Twins before jumping over the counter and healing the receptionist.
”By the moon guys, chill out. Hon, you just sit down here for now. Guys, we can still talk this out, I don’t know where half of you went, but can we relax on the stabbing? They don’t seem like they’re out hunting non-humans, okay. So I think we can work out an agreement?” Warvin says, looking around for his party and noticing half of them have dissapeared. “Egor, whatever your name is. You just stay out there for like, 5 minutes while I calm these ones down!” Ward yells towards the doors and looks to his party seeing if they are going to calm down.

The fairy has had a busy few days. Often caught up in many sights sounds and other such things in this place known as new York. Their small size a benefit for hiding and stealth they didn't really have a desire to hide much. From when they first fled the fairy was mesmerized by how fast the carriage could go. It was a struggle to keep the sky shark on it. Ultimately they managed it and first thing they did was make sure to feed it so it wouldn't be hungry and eat folks. The fairy also let the Pidgeon out of the can but unfortunately it just flew away. Much to Delph's disappointment. When the fight broke out between Gavin and Travin Delphinium went to talk with Gavin about something.
The orb was of great interest to the fairy. Hearing the nothing was in the south sea he worried about how close it was to where he knew his family was. They wanted to see them with his own eyes but as there was such high emotions around the orb he decided to wait to check it later. That night Delphinium let the sky shark go into the wild. Sure it would find a nice place to raise a family and would certainly have no impact on the wildlife here at all. They would of talked about how strange this world was. How, out of balance it felt. The city was almost devoid of nature and magic was almost non-existent except for what they brought with them. When Shavaris asked if there was anything like this in the feywild Delph replied "No, the feywild is abundant in magic, life, freedom and wonder. I really want to bring you someday. See what you think. The steel and stone of this world feels... like a war against nature to me. There isn't any harmony, I see little joy in the people I saw. This world is filled with concern, stress and obligation. We really need to stop the bad guys here if there is any chance for this world."
The meeting with Strahd showed Delph was very unhappy with the turn of events. They refused to be a part of the bargain. They will not be bound by them. They had other ideas though and after Shavaris accepted the deal flew after Strahd to have... words. What was said is anyone's guess. Whatever the case, Delphinium was a bit preoccupied and deep in thought after this but agreed to go with the others. Just because they did not agree to the deal does not mean they won't help their friends achieve their goals after all. The strange city of steel and stone was a wonderous place in many ways even though Delphinium didn't like how it felt they could appreciate the beautiful glass, the vibrant colors, and more. It didn't take the group long to get to their destination.
The fairy would want to express something to them all before they started. "Deals are dangerous things. I wanted to talk to you about it and..." Delph looks to Shavaris but she is already rushing in to attack. Delph could only assume she was too focused on saving Ralik to think through the deal in totality. To be fair the lady threw a mug at Dageron. The fairy was about to say something very important about the deal they made but she didn't wait and the mug set everything in motion. When she pulls out her knifes, the fairy is forced to take action. They fly at full speed and rush to get between her and the lady summoning their astral arms and grabbing the lady with their astral arms.. They will also try to get hit by the knifes Shavaris throws trying to shield the lady.
Athletics to Grapple the lady: 16
if Delph can intercept the attack from Shavaris they will deflect on of the attacks with their reaction reducing the damage by 21. If this reduces the damage to 0 they catch the dagger they keep it.
They then fly off with the lady deeper into the building saying to the lady "Umm, sorry, my friends are currently being tricked. I'm Delph by the way. Where are the others? I need to save you all before I can save my friends now."
All hell...doesn't break loose. Instead there is a lot of confusion as Shavaris lets fly with Sick & Twisted. The woman doesn't even have time to respond before Delphinium grabs her, and one of his hands catch one of Shavaris's flying swords, and then away they go, flying up to the top of the stairs where four men seem confused as they start replacing equipment in their lockers and muttering about how it was too early in the day for a literal false alarm. None of them notice Delphinium at first...
Delphinium runs off with Sick but the other one slashes the fairy. Delphinium isn't going to stop there though he does wince at the pain. He was sure Shavaris was going to be mad at them and they were very sad about this. Delph scolds themselves a bit for being all distracted by the shiny new things in this New Yorkaty place. A bit of fey blood dripping behind them as they took the hit meant for this lady. Delph stops when seeing these four. He Hovers in place a bit seeing the four men and thinks they are the strangest wizards they have ever seen. They don't seem to have spellbooks. No wands, no staffs, or anything of the kind. They do seem to be place large black backpacks with some kind of... is that a wand? Must be. They don't know why it is connected to the backpacks though. Do they have their magical components inside those packs? Why are they all wearing the same outfit? Seems very odd to them.
However, Delphinium doesn't have time to question it. He doesn't grab the other four's attention and quietly sets the lady down. Just before letting go of her the fairy says to her "If you could introduce me as someone trying to help you all that would be great. I know it all happened fast so I will repeat. I am Delphinium. I'll get you all to safety and help you all avoid a bad fight. I have important information to share with you once we are safe. Also, I would very much appreciate some healing magic if you have it." He brings attention to the injury he took for the lady. "Shavaris' weapons hurt." The fairy takes a moment to bind the cut with some cloth while keeping an eye on the stairs to come up. Ready to defend these folks as long as they don't attack him. They do not know what to expect at this point but Delph knows one thing. You NEVER do a deal as shady as that without getting information first.
Warvin moves towards the stairs and goes up them a step or two. "Dawn Guard, you all stay down here, me and Delph will talk to them first. Shavaris, no more stabbing unless they attack us first."Warvin says, holding back a grin as he shakes his finger at her, then when he walks further turns around back at her, "That also includes Eloise, and stabbing from range." He then slowly goes up the stairs, holding his hands up slightly till he finds the humans. "We need to have a talk, for now just you guys and Delph, wherever the hell he flew to." Warvin says to them rubbing his temple. "So this is what an actual headache feel like." Waving mumbles to himself

T-Ward with his three summoned giant frogs just kind of stand there unsure of what just happened. He looks around at the other dawnguard and shrugs, "well this is boring, I'm gonna go mess with some stuff" he suggests as he goes on over to the desk and starts pawing through the draws looking anything he might find and throwing several bits of junk from the desk toward the frogs who catch items in their mouths and swallow them whole.
The four men gathered in front of Delphinium and Ward looks confused, even as a very surprised woman is set down before them. As soon as Delphinium releases her, she scurries to them and gets behind the four of them, who are all in various stages of prep and confusion. One fellow is barefoot. Two others have boots that aren't even properly laced yet. One of them quickly reaches behind himself and pulls out a meter, like the one over the door, and waves it at the two in front of him. It actually does chirp a little, but it struggles to read anything. As he points it out the door, however, toward the rest of the people gathered down below, the two antennae on the device begin to raise up and chirp faster and a series of lights flash.
"Not sure about these two, but there is at least one Class 4 Corporeal Supernatural Manifestation downstairs." The one with the wild hair and glasses says. His name tag says Spengler.
"English man!" The darker skinned fellow demands. His name tag says Zeddemore.
"Vampire." One guy says, his slack nonchalance his most defining feature. His name tag says Venkman. "You know what I hate about New York nowadays? All the damned vampires."
One guy reaches behind himself and pulls out a wand attached to a cable. It hums and chirps once as he flips some sort of switch.
"Janine, what's going on?" The one tagged as Stantz says as he points the wand at them. "Did you say something about GWAR...?"
"That crazy broad downstairs tried to kill me!" The woman, Janine, apparently, shouts in reply.
Another wand comes up as everyone looks unsure.
"I'm going to put my shoes on. Hold that thought." Venkman says.
Shavaris watches in disbelief as Delph charges and takes one of her blades in the back, stealing the other. It takes her a moment to recover as the fairy carries one of her foes up the stairs and away from her.
The others state their case in keeping the strangers safe and she doesn't get it. True, she was the one with the contract, but if any of them were in the same situation, she wouldn't hesitate to make sure they stayed alive. She feels a bit of pain in her chest.
She hears the others talk upstairs, knowing they would be down here soon and after her. The accursed vampire.
She waves her hand and dismisses Eloise, then heads over to the shadows near the stairs and hides. Continuing to listen to the conversation of the wizards.
“Janine, our apologies for that. Shav is slightly more stressed than the rest of us. To be quite frank, someone wants you all dead, and gave us a friend we thought dead to do that. We don’t want that to happen, so how about we have a talk. Cause I think you both have a common enemy, he just is a bit more concerned with your capabilities. We do have one vampire with us, but she won’t bite you or anything, we also have one who was cured but that’s a whole different story.” Warvin says, reaching out to whoever is closest to shake their hand. “I am Ward, currently in Travins body, the fairy is Delph. Don’t ask about the body swap, I don’t even know what happened, just beware of what you say around my current form, it seems the universe wants to be a jester regarding that.” Ward says, shaking his head

“To clarify, she is still utterly lethal if she wants to be. She just doesn’t like to drink blood. Same with our friend who used to be a vampire. Trust us, if we wanted to just kill everyone here we could, but we think we can get you both to an agreement and sort this out.” Ward replies

Adam silently facepalms in the corner, behind the post, with his hand still holding his lightsaber, ready to jump in at any sign of “trouble.” He says silently to himself, “They are so going to believe this… not.”

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
Delph nods to the four as Warvin explains. To that delph adds "Basically, they are using the loved one of one of us against us. However, I don't think they plan to give Shavaris what they want and have good reasons to believe so. I think it's just the illusion of what she wants. So, I wanted your help to ensure that the one that sent us here keeps their end of the bargain in the way she wants. So, really wanted to meet you all and learn about you first. I didnt expect sharavis to attack you so quickly. They are normally very polite and kind."
When Warvin gives introductions Delph says "I did ask Janine to introduce me. Quite rude that she didn't when I was the one that saved her. As to if you're dead or not... well no. You're not. I saved you. Also, I can assure you fairies don't hang around in hell. There might be a few but they'd be very rare. Most fey reside in the feywild."
Johnathan seems to be lost in thought for a while as he struggles what to do next. Should they follow the orders of a vampire to have a friend return or should they kill all the blood suckers as fast as possible? He didn’t even realise that Shavaris tried to attack someone. When he comes to he sees Travin (with Ward as the hoist) and Delphinium leaving to talk with the hunters he whispers to the others. I’ll send Echo with Delphinium in case we need to act quickly. Johnathan sends Echo to follow at a distance from Delph and Travin to listen in on the conversation.
In consideration of his strategy to take cover in anticipation of a fight, Dageron realizes letting Delph and... the mixed up ones... do the talking for the group could land them in an even messier situation. Dropping the bangle illusion once more, Dageron heads up the stairs, calling up as he approaches. "Delphinium, Warvin, I hear conversation and not fighting. Please warn the Humans that a non-Human is coming up."
(( Assuming they do.. ))
He ascends the stairs slowly, retaining his shield but putting away his sword. Once he comes into view of the Humans he takes off his helmet completely. "I am General Dageron of the Aureki of the world Hyboria. My race are known as Hobgoblisn. Our plane of existence is currently being swallowed into an everlasting darkness at the apex of a corrupted conjunction event, and so we are tasked with saving what we can. During our most recent mission we were dispatched to this world to defeat what I can only describe as a mutual foe. Since our arrival, another entity entreated upon us to dispatch four wizards at this location - you I presume - in exchange for the aforementioned lost comrade and intimate details about our quarry, a being known as Vigo. We are soldiers, and will ultimately do whatever is necessary to save the countless lives hanging in the balance of our own world. But, we do not trust the Vampire Strahd, who sent us against you. Please consider this a request to parlay further, to determine a best course of action. If you choose violence, we could easily level this entire building - and several more surrounding it - if we so chose. Such is the power of the weapons, magic, and capabilities of our team..." As an after thought he adds, "We are known as the Dawn Guard, how is your cabal known?"
"AND IM A FREAKING ROBIT NOW!" T-Ward calls up the stairs after Dageron, as he continues his search through desks and whatever he can find for cool stuff!
If Adam sees Shavaris, he mouths the words with a big smile, “He said we are the Dawn Guard!” He smiles into his hand, holds his forehead for a moment, then looks up waiting to see what happens.

Holding his place in the shadows, Ralik listens to the exchange. I’m his mind, this could go either way and so far he wasn’t notice. He shifts his weapons into the more concealable form of two daggers and palms them, hiding them behind his forearms.
The nomad waits to see which way the conversation goes. Ready to strike, but dreading having to. He silently prays for peace, but readies for war.

Delph nods to the four as Warvin explains. To that delph adds "Basically, they are using the loved one of one of us against us. However, I don't think they plan to give Shavaris what they want and have good reasons to believe so. I think it's just the illusion of what she wants. So, I wanted your help to ensure that the one that sent us here keeps their end of the bargain in the way she wants. So, really wanted to meet you all and learn about you first. I didnt expect sharavis to attack you so quickly. They are normally very polite and kind."
When Warvin gives introductions Delph says "I did ask Janine to introduce me. Quite rude that she didn't when I was the one that saved her. As to if you're dead or not... well no. You're not. I saved you. Also, I can assure you fairies don't hang around in hell. There might be a few but they'd be very rare. Most fey reside in the feywild."
Johnathan seems to be lost in thought for a while as he struggles what to do next. Should they follow the orders of a vampire to have a friend return or should they kill all the blood suckers as fast as possible? He didn’t even realise that Shavaris tried to attack someone. When he comes to he sees Travin (with Ward as the hoist) and Delphinium leaving to talk with the hunters he whispers to the others. I’ll send Echo with Delphinium in case we need to act quickly. Johnathan sends Echo to follow at a distance from Delph and Travin to listen in on the conversation.
In consideration of his strategy to take cover in anticipation of a fight, Dageron realizes letting Delph and... the mixed up ones... do the talking for the group could land them in an even messier situation. Dropping the bangle illusion once more, Dageron heads up the stairs, calling up as he approaches. "Delphinium, Warvin, I hear conversation and not fighting. Please warn the Humans that a non-Human is coming up."
(( Assuming they do.. ))
He ascends the stairs slowly, retaining his shield but putting away his sword. Once he comes into view of the Humans he takes off his helmet completely. "I am General Dageron of the Aureki of the world Hyboria. My race are known as Hobgoblisn. Our plane of existence is currently being swallowed into an everlasting darkness at the apex of a corrupted conjunction event, and so we are tasked with saving what we can. During our most recent mission we were dispatched to this world to defeat what I can only describe as a mutual foe. Since our arrival, another entity entreated upon us to dispatch four wizards at this location - you I presume - in exchange for the aforementioned lost comrade and intimate details about our quarry, a being known as Vigo. We are soldiers, and will ultimately do whatever is necessary to save the countless lives hanging in the balance of our own world. But, we do not trust the Vampire Strahd, who sent us against you. Please consider this a request to parlay further, to determine a best course of action. If you choose violence, we could easily level this entire building - and several more surrounding it - if we so chose. Such is the power of the weapons, magic, and capabilities of our team..." As an after thought he adds, "We are known as the Dawn Guard, how is your cabal known?"
"AND IM A FREAKING ROBIT NOW!" T-Ward calls up the stairs after Dageron, as he continues his search through desks and whatever he can find for cool stuff!
If Adam sees Shavaris, he mouths the words with a big smile, “He said we are the Dawn Guard!” He smiles into his hand, holds his forehead for a moment, then looks up waiting to see what happens.
A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
Holding his place in the shadows, Ralik listens to the exchange. I’m his mind, this could go either way and so far he wasn’t notice. He shifts his weapons into the more concealable form of two daggers and palms them, hiding them behind his forearms.
The nomad waits to see which way the conversation goes. Ready to strike, but dreading having to. He silently prays for peace, but readies for war.
