"I don't know about 'elvish charm'," He gives a wholesome laugh as he pulls his coin pouch from the belt on his waist. "But I think we have this, if anything Astrid can use her charms to convince him, even if he doesn't understand."

Once they are at the renters business he will ask for a boat rental, hand over the 15 gold, and start filling out the necessary paperwork.

Yes, Az, that would be acceptable. But you can't take it with you. It remains with the boat rental until you return.

Pheral's swing goes very wild, stabbing Lythril instead. Ouch. Lyth takes the damage instead. Since it's a miss and you hit a different target, i'll be merciful and just have her suffer 6 instead of 17 damage.

Cultist2, Cultist3, Devil3, Devil1, Devil4, Devil2, Pheral, Cultist1(HURT BADLY), Fanatic, Lythril

Cultist1 weakly swings at Pheral Attack: 19 Damage: 2 and the Fanatic stabs at Lythril with his dagger Attack: 11 Damage: 4

Ok, Titsthril, you're up! Tell Pheral to watch her aim!

MEANINGWHILE, BACK TO THE SCALE OF ZELIFARN

After signing your lives away, you all three of you plop into the rowboat and head outward to where you can see the wreckage floating from the shipwreck. You are still within the boundaries of the city, and the wreckage isn't too far out, so you're safe at this distance.

But no dragon. Hmm. Could he be underwater where the rest of the ship sank?

Lythril, Kick some butt! Also how much Temp HP do i get from Heroism each turn?  Its important to know cuz i may have not taken any damage yet.

Leon's eyeing over the edge of the boat, trying to see if he can see anything in the water.

Perception, for funsies I guess: 8

He turns to Azrael. "I don't suppose your people have some sort of call, do they?"

((he dont see squat))

Azrael let out the heartiest chuckle they would probably ever hear Ha.. Hahahahaah Ahahahahaah! Funny. There is but thats a legendary and evil horn. If you mean mating call... no, Dragons dance. But hmm... one of us may have to go underwater.

Azrael says, sticking his legs over one side of the boat, while ducking his head underwater, his legs providing 'balance' to his weight on one side and peered down, hoping he might be able to see the dragon.. or atleast the wreckage.... 11

** Pheral only loses 1hp, 2 hp come from Heroism.

When she can do something (could I be any slower?!) Lythril shouts "Kaima!" and casts sleep at 2nd lvl on her enemies in front of her. 44

Use Reaction to impose disadvantage on the next rat shite to attack Pheral.

Pheral and Lythril hear a whistelling sound coming from the darkness of an alley off to the side...

Faint music accompanying it and two, glowing red eyes. Sharp horns glisten in whatever light touches them and a large, white, toothy grin like the cheshire cat can be seen in the darkness. Smoke from a fat cigar surrounds the smile, framing it in a haze...

FC joins the fray! and casts fear in a cone at any of the creatures (invisibleor not) around his allies. Initiative: 4 (DC 14 WIS save *****essss)
He then inspires Pheral, who looks pretty beat up and she can add 1d8 to any ability check, attack roll, or saving throw.

(Hope that's okay Crispy, had to jump in somewhere!)

MEANWHILE, BACK IN THE ALLEY. (PAINTING OF THE DWARF MINER)

Cultist3 and Devil1 topple over like logs when your sleep spell hits. Devil2 remains unaffected.

Cultist2, Cultist3(SLEPT), Devil3, Devil1(SLEPT), Devil4, Devil2, Pheral, Cultist1(HURT BADLY), Fanatic, Lythril

ON PHERAL:
Cultist2 Scimitar Attack: 13 Damage: 6

Devil4 Spear Attack: 12 Damage: 2

Devil1: SLEEPY
Devil2 Tail Spikes Attack: 10 Damage: 11

The cultists and devils didn't expect you all to be so well armored. Pheral is up!!!

MEANINGWHILE, BACK TO THE SCALE OF ZELIFARN

As you poke your head underwater, you see nothing but seawater. The water is not clear enough to see through, and there's plenty of ship wreckage in this area. But, you do see one thing, is that..it's a golden blur..getting larger..? Towards-

An enormous bronze dragon launches itself out of the water and with a very loud and dramatic crash n splash, lands on the largest piece of floating ship debris and with a surprisingly gentlemanly-like voice, says:

"Oh! Hello! I couldn't help but notice you're rowing - and stopping - right above the wreckage I've claimed for myself down below on the ocean floor. I hope you're not thinking of plundering it from me? How may I help you all today?"

Pheral deftly evades the attacks and swings at Cultist 1  for Attack: 22 Damage: 9 

Second cutlass to the Cultists face if he survives, Devil3 if they die Attack: 26 Damage: 4

Sneak attack if applicable 9 to Cultist 1 if they survive or other target if not.

Azrael cries out  JUMP OFF THE BOAT, GET OUT, SPREAD IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS!

He wasn't sure if the dragon was just coming or attacking, but it was better safe than sorry Even as he shouted, he dove off to the side..

"Sorry! OoH! Don't be afraid!" He laughs nervously, making very delicate motions with his hands, as if he just accidentally made a baby cry. "Wait! I just wanted to know your intentions!"

MEANWHILE, BACK IN THE ALLEY. (PAINTING OF THE DWARF MINER)

Cultist1 dies, and Devil3 is hurt!

Cultist2, Cultist3(SLEPT), Devil3(HURT BADLY), Devil1(SLEPT), Devil4, Devil2, Pheral, Fanatic, Lythril

The Fanatic attempts to cast Inflict Wounds on Pheral: Attack: 6 Damage: 15

TOO SLOW! Lythril is up!

Before Leon could hop out of the boat, the dragon already had emerged from the depths, splashing him (and Astrid if she stayed in the boat) with salty sea water. He wiped his eyes and pushed wet golden locks from out in front of his face. "Well that wasn't how I-- AH!"

Green irises soon met with the enormous dragon before them, his eyes widening in disbelief. "You're... Huge."

(you should have waited till we all jumped off.. would have been funnier)

"Ha, it's just you can me sparky, what's it going to be? A smashed skull or a Warhammer enema?" The swish of Lythril's hammer makes a hummm and she swings at the Devil.

Attack: 9 Damage: 11

MEANWHILE, BACK IN THE ALLEY. (PAINTING OF THE DWARF MINER)

THE CAT OF FAT JOINS THE FRAY! CASTS FEAR! MUCH COOL!

Initiative order: Cultist2(RUNS), Cultist3(SLEPT), Devil3(RUNS), Devil1(SLEPT), Devil4(RUNS), Devil2(RUNS), Pheral, FC, Fanatic, Lythril

Fear saves: 6, 6, 5, 5, 21

The Fanatic looks around at everyone else fleeing saying, "OH ****!"

Azrael, now quite wet, would sigh, saying Heh, well when you're coming straight for where our boat is.. it's a little hard to tell, if I may be so bold as to speak, great one. There was honest reverence in his tone, as he bowed as much as could be in the water, and pulled up his robes, top reveal the Holy Emblem of Bahamut embroidered upon it, showing him to be of the Clergy of the Holiest Dragon, one a Bronze dragon of lawful Good alignment should recognize instantly. 

We have come here on a mission, and atleast for me, this mission will be of benefit to the Platinum Dragon, as it will help me spread his justice throughout the city. Unfortunately... It means we have a request to make of you. I will admit however, I cannot remember specifically where the keys we seek are for.. but I know we need the scale of a Bronze Dragon to unlock it. If you would deign to allow us one of your scales, it would be of great help to Bahamut, and myself. In return, if you wish, I will give you one of mine, though mine does not shine as lustrously as yours do.

And.. if you are willing.... Perhaps you could join us as a friend, as you know I will uphold the ideals of Justice. Having you there to assist me in meting it would be a boon to us all.

 Persuasion Roll with assistance from Leons Tongue: 11

Regardless of the outcome, Azrael would inquire Also if I may ask.. what, if anything, did you find down there? referring to where the dragon had been searching before.

Editing

When the morass of time allows her to move, Lythril will execute the sleeping devil as such foul beings deserve no mercy. Then she will tie up the sleeping cultist.

MEANINGWHILE, BACK TO THE SCALE OF ZELIFARN

Zelifarn's dragon form pops in an arcane blast that's bright, and now he's in human form standing easily on the wreckage. Powerfully built, sickeningly handsome, his blond hair short and combed, bright green eyes sparkling with magic, his skin blessed with a perfect tan -a very well put together fellow. He's wearing a very fancy suit, bronze color of course, and leaps on your boat, having a seat. He waves his hand and immediately a fog surrounds you all, as if he created a meeting room.

"Interesting. I'm all in favor of serving the Great Bahamut, of course! And, helping those who revere him." he states confidently. "Before we get into the details of your request. May I ask, what would my scale unlock?"

No problem, Lyth. The fear spell, however, lasts for one minute. The demons and cultists are running away from you three, into the street where people are, and will most likely be caught by the City Watch since they're with demons. You have the alive Cult Fanatic who basically surrendered, and the cultist you tied up. You can bring them to the authorities, or do something else. You are all considered out of combat now.
