“Can you tell me the difference between a witch and a wizard?" "Sure, a wizard is what they call you when they want to hire you, and a witch is what they call you when they're getting ready to run you out of town.” SunWolf replied ― Barbara Hambly, The Witches of Wenshar
"Fanatics. They have... ambitions," Sarah replies with a grimace. "We've heard CUT and PPA have had their scuffles. Not surprising they'd send assassins. Interesting it's this one they went after, though."
Fire bolt- Shoot a streaking ball of fire towards a foe and deal a measly 1d10 fire damage. Use eldritch blast instead.
Fireball - Drawing magic from your inner reserves, you unleash a devastating nuke that explodes in a circle, hitting multiple enemies, and burning them to a crisp with a godly amount of 8d6 fire damage. Make your DM’s fights look like garbage. It’s also a nice way of TPK your entire party and have them triggered at you for the rest of the week.
"It was aimed at the Baron, not us. We just have awful luck and ended up in the middle of it. Not that it ended badly, bruises aside. This way the Baron will hopefully back off and the PPA and CUT can focus on each other for a time. Of course, those ninja may go home telling tales."

Max "I'm pretty sure it's not just this one. There is no tactical or strategic value in just taking out Baron Daken. But if this attack was part of a larger assault... that makes some sort of sense. It doesn't even just have to be an attack on the PPA. What if they are hitting all of the Oregon leadership?"
‘So what do we do next?’ Blaize talks to the party

OOC - did we exit the compound safely, or where are we?

"Then perhaps we should return home with a warning," Sarah shrugs. "We need to work out what to do about these fanatics and send out messages to our allies."
Blaize seems baffled when Sarah hinted at the word ‘allies’

Sullivan now seemingly confused follows the party out, with barely a scratch on him, “Didn’t you folks want to kill that guy?”. Once they are outside his elk approached him and Sullivan pet his head and horns and mounted him, but kept pace with the party.
"We wanted him to stop harassing us. I hold little respect for a slaver but another would just replace him. Better not to have his blood on our hands and this way he 'owes' us."

Thomas shrugs "Yachats may be small fry, but we hit far about over weight class. With our organized use of magic and militia training, as well as the coordination and cooperation of each of our specialist groups, we are far more likely to defend against the other orgs. Hell, PPA refuses to admit arcane magic even exists, and their clerical magic is basic, while the CUT are so religious as to be paralyzed when encountering full-fledged magic like what we wield. We still have to be careful, but we are well defended. Not even mentioning our communications network allows us to share information with our allies instantly - no birds involved - just as if we were back in 1960, far more modern than these two groups."

Answering as well, Thomas says "Our original goals was to remove him as a threat to our group, but I'm all for other options when they present themselves so adroitly. Adlb works fine for me, if the result is better than the original plan, and like she said - this way he owes us. Not even considering that by changing his view of who we are and what we do, he may actually start leaning towards cooperation and living in peace with us, giving us a good voice on their councils for civilized behaviour.

DM Note: The CUT (Church Universal and Triumphant) are the overarching bad guys of the campaign
"Fanatics. They have... ambitions," Sarah replies with a grimace. "We've heard CUT and PPA have had their scuffles. Not surprising they'd send assassins. Interesting it's this one they went after, though."
‘What does the CUT and the PPA have grudges on us for? Should we consider taking a short rest? Everyone’s battered up from that ambush.’
"It was aimed at the Baron, not us. We just have awful luck and ended up in the middle of it. Not that it ended badly, bruises aside. This way the Baron will hopefully back off and the PPA and CUT can focus on each other for a time. Of course, those ninja may go home telling tales."

The PPA has a grudge because they want to conquer all of Oregon (to start with). And the CUT are even worse.

OOC: I assume we exited safely :)
"Damn, does this mean Yachats could have been hit? We're small-fry compared to most in Oregon..."
Your outside the compound if you wish. Pick a spot

Max "It is very difficult to synchronize attacks in multiple places across such a large area so this may be one of the first... or not."
Max "We could try hunting down the fleeing ninjas but considering how fast they moved it may be a waste of time."
"Then perhaps we should return home with a warning," Sarah shrugs. "We need to work out what to do about these fanatics and send out messages to our allies."

‘Ahh, strategic thinking! I like that!’ Blaize grins cheerfully.
