who are you guys? 

you guys see a young female high-elf wear black and red amour and have a hooded cape on my head with a quiver filled with black feathered arrows and black bow 

(ooc: Oh, please tell me the Elf Ranger isn’t addressing the pureblood! 😜😂)

"Are you talking to us or the pureblood" Fytos said on Kalisia's shoulder. His voice shocked everyone in the party, everyone thinking he was lost.

to you two 

(@DM, casting Prestidigitation does not result in loss of concentration on Darkness since Prestidigitation doesn't require concentration. Reference: Article: Don't Lose Focus)

(Thanks, InkedBee. I had not read that article.) Okay. So, the darkness spells are still up?

can i cast a homebrew spell

OOC: No, ShadowQueen12. Whatever it is you are trying to do, I am certain you can use a spell or combination of spells that already exist. If not, send me a message with a description of the spell, and I will determine if I can permit it.

ok

(@DM, technically, yes. The spell Darkness cast by Kalisia is still active.)

Okay. So, here's the situation: a yuan-ti pureblood is waiting for Kalisia's darkness spell to end and has dropped to the ground and covered its head after hearing an explosion. Valek is waiting for the pureblood to come out of the darkness. An elf ranger came from around the building demanding to know who you are, and five confused lizardfolk appeared out of Erephema's darkness spell. Meanwhile, Sunny and Snapjaw, the lizardfolk leaders, are discussing the situation off to the side.

can i prove i'm on the good team by dueling them 

Is Lunaria challenging the other characters to a duel?

(@DM, are we allowed to take player-vs-player actions? Kalisia is quite ruthless. So, if she's challenged, she will cast deadly spells on Lunaria and gladly harvest the soul to heal herself or her teammates.)

i kinda deadly too with weapons and spells myself but its your choice @dm we duel

(Ooc: Well. Hasn’t this taken an odd turn.)

(@DM…while these two flex, what are the odds of my entering the darkness and subduing the cowering pureblood?)

Erephema holds up her hands and with a voice louder than would be expected from a halfling "Easy everybody, let's not be rash, there is a lot going on here that we need to figure out.  Kalasia, you are known far and wide as a strong and ruthless foe, however can we hold off on the dueling for the moment?  Maybe revisit it over a drink in a bit after we tie things up?"  To Valek "Speaking of tying things up, how is it going getting the pureblood subdued?  Do you need help?"  To Sunny and Snapjaw, I think we may be able to help you but need a lot more information.  Can you have the confused lizardfolk stand down please?"  To Fytos "Great to see you again!"  To The elf ranger "Greetings ranger, I have to say I love the color scheme!  Reminds me of a barbarian named Gabrielle who had imposing red armor crafted from demon hide.  What brings you to our little encounter here?"

Valek is able to subdue the cowering pureblood. 

(I would prefer not to have any PC vs. PC conflict. I allowed Lunaria to join thinking she would be able to help you all. I was not expecting a duel.)

Snapjaw motions to the other lizardfolk, who in turn put down their packages and put away their weapons. Some of them sit down and relax, waiting to see what happens next.

"I tell you what I can," Snapjaw replies to Erephema. "For now, my people wait to see your intentions. You have captured and killed ooahntee; so, you not all bad, but what will you do to help us?"

Kalisia Wongbe

Kalisia will examine the dead-bodies of the enemies to find clues about their identities or connection with the cultists.

Intelligence [Investigation] 24

"You must be the 'Snapjaw' who's been fuelling a rebellion against the cultists of Tiamat". Kalisia addresses the friendly lizardfolk when she recalls the topic of the conversation that's been going on a few minutes earlier. Once the lizardfolk leader and his mate introduce themselves to the party, the necro-alchemist drow woman realizes the fact that they're the allies of the group. Sunny and Snapjaw might be the best source of information regarding the rise of the dracolich.

"I've heard about you while eavesdropping on the tenets of the house, Snapjaw. Some people were planning to deal with the issue of rebellion, they may murder you if necessary. Perhaps, they're also responsible for the death of the shaman."

"If you'll let us investigate further, we might locate the lair of Oo- han- tee people and destroy it. My inchling friend, Fytos and other comrades will help me to crush the defense of the enemies."
