Assuming you let the negotiation continue on uninterrupted, it goes for about another hour; and just when it seems a handshake (or whatever substitutes for one) is about to happen between the two faction leaders, you all hear a voice in your minds as Lord Vuglomax opens his arms. "Very good, Rethos, this has been an incredible learning experience for you. I am very pleased to see your skills of negotiation have come along to match your fighting ability, you have done your father very proud. However..." At this point Bloobbloum says out loud, "Are you sure this is necessary my Lord? They've taken our weapons, and the negotiations are actual..." You all feel a kinetic pulse inside as the Kuo-toa doubles over and screams, "Do not interrupt me slave! I am Lord Vuglomax, and I have decided that this being cannot control the flow of information in Pedestal anymore!" He points to Es Sarch and then puts a hand on his robe, scunching up a piece, "Spiderhunters! Kill these fools, and Rethos, kill Es Sarch." 

As the Spiderhunters spread out into position and Bloobbloum stands back up panting, Lord Vuglomax pulls off his robe and throws it to the side. Underneath, wrapped in leather straps and tight fitting clothes, with a tentacled face and purple skin, is the visage of a Mind Flayer. Initiative:

Group 1: Avery, Coriana, Syllen, and Theldrin, 

Group 2: Everyone else.

Group 3: Khessa and Xanrym

Avery, Theldrin, Syllen, and Coriana are up. Having been focussed on security for the entire negotiation. The Company faces down the leaders of the Inheritors, as well as the Spiderhunters.

Is there anything Avery can grab to use as a weapon: Perception 2

 Well, I guess good ol' hand-to hand: 25/ damage 5; 9 damage 5 on the closest threat

Theldrin curses under his breath as he sees Vuglomax reveal himself and call for the attack.  Quickly springing into action he aims a Fireball in the area just behind Bloobbloum, hoping to catch all of the enemies but the Deep Gnome (and avoiding Rethos or using Sculpt Spells if necessary) within the blast radius.

Fire Damage: 28
Dex Save 15 for half

Xanrym was happy to see the negotiations going well for Es Sarch's sake even if The Company's presence was no help.  He's shocked when Lord Vuglomax throws off his cloak, and as he tries to recover, he shouts the first thought that pops into his head, "We need to get Es Sarch out of here!"

Coriana summons her scimitars and hands one to Avery. She then moves next to Es Sarch and unleashes a torrent of lightning, hoping to soften up Rethos to be knocked out by another and injure Vulgomax and the Quaggoth.  (31 lightning damage, Dex Save for half DC 15)

I updated Avery's token on the map. Closest threat was Rethos.

(OOC: @drumdibgy - The Inheritors came to the meeting without their "weapons," but when Bloobbloum arrived at the meeting, did he have that Strange Scepter that he used against The Company at the South Gate?)

Turn 1:

Syllen will summon the murder of crows after seeing that everyone is charging in. Syllen will ask Nav to scout the area to make sure there is no ambush coming from behind.

Nav Perception Roll: 19

Action: Cast Conjure Animals.

BA: Starry Form: Dragon 

Movement: Move left then right to see all of the enemies.

Troglodyte, Goblin Hexxer, Bloobbloum, Lord and Quaggoth need to make DC 15 Dex Save or take 11 Slashing Damage.
