Jirel effortlessly begins twisting the cultist's arm.  He is powerless to resist.  "Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!  Someone GET HER OFF ME!"

Seeing Jirel stride forward with mighty steps to effortlessly twist the arm of one of the men in black, Tylaerys drops the reins and whips up her crossbow, taking a quick aim at the already wounded man from the drivers seat of the carriage and fires off a bolt at him.

Light crossbow: 8 Piercing: 10 

Jararaka bares her teeth, “looks like you want the beating instead.”

With the last clang on her shield, streaks of blue lightning bursts forth and splits. The electricity encases herself, Jirel, and the one that just threw the hairpin for a moment and fades, giving them a little more push.

Jararaka casts bless on herself, Jirel, and Jenviel. She stays where she is at the moment.

Seeing the 1 man, the injured one and the other close to him on the west? side of the building, Cheddar will cast Sleep at a point near the two so to try and get them both within the boundaries of the spell.

Roll: 32

Jenviel Tsumara

Jenviel will leap forward and try to land on her feet when the weight of her lithe body transfers from the roof of the carriage to the marble pathway. During the movement, she will use the flow of wind to maintain balance that is similar to the action of an eagle floating mid-air.

Acrobatics 8

Then she moves towards the second cultist who's also holding a torch and attempts to persuade him since she's feeling more confident after being blessed by Henjeyokai.

"Sir Cultist, I did not intend to harm your comrade and please pardon me for my ill-manner. I think we can resort to a peaceful resolution."

Persuasion 14

Round 1: Action: Improvise

     With rapier in one hand and dagger in another, Finn is unsure if we’re trying to talk our way out of this or win the fight…  For lack of a game plan being obvious, Finn moves as close to the civilian as possible, grabbing and yanking them away from the cultists if she gets close enough…

(Standard 30’ movement. If that gets here there, action to pull civilian behind her. If 30’ doesn’t get her there then dash to get there and action done for the round…)

As Jirel bends the cultist spokesman into a pretzel, Tylaerys fires a bolt from her seat into the wounded cultist.  It is a minor wound, but blood continues to gush from his wrist where Jenviel had wounded him with her thrown dart.  He drops to the ground, dead or very near to it.

While Jararaka blesses herself, Jirel and Jenviel with the power of her God, Jenviel acrobatically dismounts from the roof of the carriage, seeming to float momentarily on the way down.  It is an impressive feat, but her peaceful words find no traction in the barren soil of these cultists' hearts.  However, no sooner does the target of her appeals sneer and move to toss his torch onto the roof of the home, than Cheddar's spell takes hold.  He slumps forward onto the grass in front of Jenviel, snoring softly.

Finn dashes around and past her allies to get to the side of the threatened villager.

The two torch-wielding cultists are incapacitated.  

The cultist spokesman sees has no chance of breaking free from Jirel's stone-like grip.  Instead, he swipes at her with his scimitar.  "Unhand me, vile behemoth!"  Attack: 22 Damage: 2

The cultist with the light crossbow still has it pointed at the villager.  He takes stock of the situation and backs away 15'.  Then, with cruel grin, he raises the crossbow toward the horses attached to your carriage and release a bolt.  Attack: 23 Damage: 10

The scimitar swipe completely misses Jirel, but the bolt from the crossbowman catches one of the horses in the side.  It rears and whinnies in pain.  Both horses bolt in panic.  

As Tylaerys noted she dropped the reins, there is no opportunity to bring them back under control.  The carriage careens out of control and the horses veer to the south.  The cart overturns taking the corner and crashes near a well.

Tylaerys, make a DEX save DC 12 to jump clear safely or take 5 bludgeoning damage.  

Finn, make a DEX save DC 12 to get out of the path or take 3 bludgeoning damage.  On a 14 or higher, you also succeed in pushing the villager out of the way.

[Updated map for round two once I have the save results and can locate everyone properly.]

Tylaerys DEX save: 6

Tylaerys is jolted forward in her drivers seat as the horses bolts in panic, quickly overturning the carriage and sending her into the dust in a very ungraceful manner, dropping her crossbow beside her by the well.

Finn Dex save: 15
Not our horses anyway :)

     Hands full of weapons, Finn ducks and outs a shoulder into the villagers gut, rudely shove him out of the way of the careening horses and carriage!

ROUND TWO!

1. Jirel
2. Jararaka/Tylaerys
3. Tylaerys/Jararaka
4. Jenviel
5. Finn
6. Cheddar
7. Cultists

Jirel’s honey eyes follow the crossbow man take pleasure in taking advantage of the horses, recklessly causing unnecessary harm and destruction. The low grumble grows from her core as she flirts with building rage. She didn’t want to lose grip of this weisel to send after the other. The goliath would exchange a look with Finn, trusting she may take care of that one while she will continue to deal with this one.

With a grunt, Jirel continues to firmly hold onto her target. She then lifts her leg to give him a boot in the back to shove him face first into the dirt at her feet.

Shove: 11 

(Oops I did a +5 instead of a +6 on that shove, so should be 12. And I forgot bless.)

Feeling the invigorating electricity from the lizardwoman’s words, Jirel flexes to pour more strength into her efforts.

Bless: 1 

Cultist check: 14

The cultist is still firmly in Jirel's grip, but his teeth are clenched in furious mania.  "I will not kneel for you, giantess!"  He resists he attempts to force him into the dirt.

Tylaerys quickly scrambles up from the dust, grabbing her crossbow as she does, swiftly reloading it, seeing the man in black that just cruelly shot a defenseless animal. It would not go unpunished. These were cearly men of neither honour nor mercy and should be dealt with accordingly. Tylaerys grits her teeth from the pain of the fall, takes a quick aim and fires another bolt at the man in black.

Light crossbow: 10 Piercing: 9

She then takes cover behind the turned over carriage.

Jararaka’s spines stand up when the carriage crashes past. Turning her attention back to the cultist, she rushes forward and takes a quick swipe at the one held by Jirel.

Scimitar - Attack: 18 Damage: 6
