Eya gracefully accepts the seat and drinks with the boys, "You boys seem really important around here. Are you nobles or businessmen perhaps? Tell me all about it, you seem oh so interesting. It's rare to find such smart and handsome men these days."
She giggles playfully after that last comment.
As the night goes on, she sips her ale slowly, focusing more on conversation than drinking. After some time, hopefully after getting them tipsy or drunk, she asks, "Say, why don't we get out of here and have some fun in a more private location."
She winks at them coyly.
The intent here is to have some drinks with these boys and get them hammered and dumb. Then try to lead them out to a more remote area to "make out" and "do other things". Daishain, I imagine Eya would know of a semi-private area to have them follow her out to that could work for an ambush situation, right? Or try to lead them to our old base/workshop? I'm still not 100% certain what the exact location was since it's been awhile >.<, but basically wherever the groups plan was to ambush them. GKnight said it was our "base of operations." Anywayyyyy, she would try to lead them out there so the party can get the jump on them.
Selena enters the room in her normal form except she darkened her skin some to remove any signs of her dhamphir heritage. Her blonde hair hangs down to her waist in a braid. She is wearing a black ankle length dress that more than hints at her assets. A considerable amount of cleavage is visible above the dress. She sees Eya and the mages and smiles. " There is my friend. You can't keep all the handsome men to yourself. " She walks slowly over to them swaying her hips. " I am Selena. Since there are 2 of you and just 1 of my friend I thought you might like some more company. " She bites her lip gently as she looks at them.
Both twins are grinning as if they'd just earned a big competition prize as they welcome the two new beautiful women to the table. As acidic as they'd been towards 'captain Eddarly', they know how to charm women, and keep the conversation rolling as the sun dips lower in the sky.
Meanwhile, Poe reports that a contingent of six men have taken horses and ridden south, in the direction of the hamlet Eya had terrorized.
Inside the Inn, at first Titus and Tacitus are the ones trying to ply Selena and Eya with drinks, but soon enough the tables are turned on them in that regard. By the time the group heads out of the inn, the twins are wobbling a bit, and Sarah was left unconscious at the table.
The four people head towards the western end of town, where the group had rented out the old cottage, under the pretense of making it into an alchemy shop.
The group is almost there when Poe reports that there's another horseman, this time a lone one coming from the woods and headed for the fort. Mrs Mott appears to be with him.
As 'Eddarly' was getting ready to help spring the ambush, he decides they need to eliminate the horseman and Mrs. Mott. He heads that way to intercept them, and tells the Kiven and Glau to come along.
(Ignoring Respar's command for now as we agreed in chat that only Selena knows of Poe's warning and she would have trouble conveying the message currently.)
Kiven follows behind the two ladies and their new magical friends, trying not to be noticed. He switches his disguise from soldier to another commoner if that makes the most sense as they travel through town. Either way he makes sure his bow and his magic are ready for the ambush to come.
Eya leads the two drunken twins to the old alchemy shop. Once inside, she closes the door but doesn't lock it yet. Then, she looks at the two of them seductively and says, "Give me a moment to get into something more comfortable won't you?" She winks at the men then goes to the back area of the shop to "change." Once in the back room and leaving the door open, she goes out of sight to a corner then turns invisible. She comes back out in her invisible form and suddenly there is a large hell hound glaring and snarling at the twins as it guards the door.
It lunges at one of the men with fiendish ferocity.
Casting Invisibility in the back room, Action is to Summon Monster 2 for the Hound to get the jump on them. Going to go ahead and roll to get things going here. I'll let Daishain decide on surprise rounds and whatnot. Hopefully everyone is ready for the ambush.
I'm assuming what Respar did above will need to be amended due to lack of information from Selena. She can't relay to us what Poe has seen as she is currently occupied with the mages.

Watchful and ready, Balu sees the approaching party group and readies his magic and abilities. Ducking into the back room, he casts a couple of protection spells,a nd calls on his God to lend holy power to his blows. As Eya enters the back, he smiles from his concealed corner and finds the holy balance within his God's worship. Giving Eya's invisible form time to exit into the main room, he moves out into the main room, His general commoner disguise still active.

As Selena hears the news from Poe she grimaces. " They must be stopped from going any further. Do whatever you can to slow them down. Hold on before acting though. I will tell you when to strike. I am on the way to help. " She then eyes the men again and licks her lips. She plays along until the trap is sprung. As it unfolds she races out of the building and towards the horseman and Ms Mott to intercept them. When leaving the building she calls out, " We hsve a problem. Ms Motts has escaped. " She then mentally informs Poe to go ahead.
Poe looks down towards the horse and riders. " Yet again I must save the day. Thankfully I am more than up to it. " He dives down quickly and lands on the horses neck. As he does so he increases his size. Upon landing he now stands about 5' high. " Excuse me, is this spot taken?" His claws dig into the horse's neck while his beak drives visciously down into the horse flesh as well. If he hits dark energy enters the horse weakening it possibly.

Poe gets a bonus of +1 due to using sands of time approach. It is in the Riven Hourglass set and is Selena's dark focus. This will add 1 to all of his attack rolls, damage rolls and will increase the will save DC to 16. I forgot about this until after I had rolled.

Just before their prey enters the home Kiven casts Fallback Strategy on himself to gain a bit of extra luck against the rival spellcasters in the fight to come.
Kiven takes a step out from cover as Eya summons her hound and unleashes a barrage of arrow and arcane magic at the same caster the hound and others are targeting, trying to focus the team's fire to kill one quickly.

Respar remained in his form as Eddarly. If either of the mages spotted him, they might hesitate in reaction, giving him that extra edge. Then he moved and struck with his rapier at whichever was closest.
The oblivious mages are led into the trap. They gape somewhat foolishly as the group jumps out of the shadows at them.
Kiven strikes first, launching a pair of arrows that thud into one twin's chest, and then Blau and Eya's hellhound take him down with a series of harsh blows. Its all over for him within seconds.
The other twin calls out "Titus! No!", then turns and emits a blast of force from his hand. Something that vaguely looks like the ghost of a huge ram slams its horns into Eya's hellhound, smashing it through the door and out into the street. Tactitus tries to flee through the now open door.
15 damage to the hellhound. Blau and Respar alike get an AOO, as will the hellhound if the mage gets by them.
I feel like I should point out here that most combat maneuvers can be made in place of a regular AOO. This includes attempts to Trip an opponent. Successfully Tripping Tacitus as an AOO would spoil his movement for the round.
Blau takes a strike at the fleeing mage, knowing that his own shortness would not allow him to keep up with the foe, adding his mighty God's divine force behind the blow!

The hound yelps as its blasted through the door. Then, it gets back on its feet and snarls at the mage, blood of fire and shadow dripping from its wounds. It lunges at the fleeing mage.
Meanwhile, Eya hears Selena say something about Mrs. Mott escaping and seems confused, "She's alive?!"Eya asks with an annoyed expression that no one can see. "Do NOT let him escape!" she commands in Infernal to the hound.
She grits her teeth in frustration and chases after the remaining mage. "Time to end this!" she growls as her eyes begin to crackle with arcane power. She becomes visible once more as her invisibility spell drops and dark purple infernal runes begin glowing one after another down her right arm. She braces her right wrist with her left hand as the arcane power surges along the runes down her right arm and three crackling, dark purple blasts fire in rapid succession from her palm towards the mage.
The hound will attempt a Trip maneuver if the mage gets past the others. Otherwise he won't get an AOO since the mages movement will be stopped. Either way, it's action will be to bite him.
Eya is juicing up her Magic Missile by using a point from her Arcane Reservoir to increase the Caster Level by 1 which makes the total CL 5 which means 3 magic missiles.

"Damn Mitran's and their cowardice!" Blau exclaims as his strike misses the fleeing mage, harmlessly dissipating the force energy in the air. Sighing, he pulls out his crossbow from his back and fires at his back.

Kiven furrows his brow as his magically enhances arrow misses but grins a bit when Titus falls quickly. He calmly takes one step towards the door to perfect his angle and rapidly unleashes three more arrows, his bow beginning to glow with each one until the magic is discharged on the third arrow.

Selena sprints on towards Ms Mott and the guard. In the meantime Poe is irritated. " Typical stupid brute, you don't know when to die. " His beak and his claws dig in on the horse again.
The sorcerer manages to slip out of Respar's grasp, and away from the hound's teeth as well, the drink in him making his movements a bit unpredictable. The man starts running down the road, yelling at the top of his lungs, but his flight is cut short by a trio of magic bolts, two arrows, and a crossbow bolt, all thudding into his back. Titus stumbles, groans, and falls flat on his face.
But the brief fight did not go unnoticed, a woman starts shrieking at the top of her voice to the north, someone across the street slams a door shut, and to the south a man just grabbed a child up in his arms and started sprinting away from you.
