Tibi drops out of the fog and drives his rapier into the Spined devil which twists away after the first attack and barely avoids the follow up slash from the short sword.
Amrik is making his way through the alley when a series of magical darts slam into him nearly knocking him to his feet.
Darvin, appearing to be Vaaz, grabs Amrik as soon as he is hit with Gil's missiles, as if to protect him, and looks toward Gil with an expression of bewilderment, as if he is as surprised as the rest of them that the cultist was turning on them. "We need to get you to safety!" he says, attempting to throw himself around Amrik and pull him away from the fight.
Grapple: 9
Then (during the next round, barring other developments), he whispers into Amrik's ear, "Let your men handle those ruffians. Stay out of it and come with me."
Gilbert would squint towards Vhaltus as his companion tries to lure away Amrik. He would the point towards vjaltus as his spectral bat flies from under his robe ant attempts to help distract the enemy as he casts chromatic orb
"They will be expecting you to go to your mother's place. Let's go to that safehouse --- we can keep you hidden," Darvin says, leading Amrik toward their AI base.
"Curse you!... Foiled by your quick escape!" The still disguised Gil would shout as he shakes his fist towards the sky. After Davin and Amrik disappear around the corner, The tall thin Verdan would search the dead bodyguards before following behind his companions. He would allow his form to change back into his chrimson skinned self once he left the scene of the battle.
Gilbert stops and searches the body of the woman body guard but finds little of value except a few coins. 3 gp and 7 sp. Meanwhile Tibi notices that the ravens seem to be following as he catches glimpses from time to time that they are back there in the fog.
On the ground, Darvin/Vaaz leads Amrik through the alleys and streets. Still under the power of the suggestion, Amrik follows you away from the docks and deeper into the Lower City. You are able to pass through into the Upper City without issues and eventually arrive at your HQ.
Once inside Amrik turns to Darvin/Vaaz, the suggestion spell having been completed. "What is going on Vaaz, is my brother dead? I tire of that scar-faced hulk consorting with the lowest of the low in Baldur’s Gate to bring ruin to the family. You better have finished him off! And where are we now? What is going on?"
OoC: Darvin was intending to lead Amrik back to their Acquisition Incorporated base, and lead him into a bedroom where he could be locked up for a period of time while the group paid the Duke a visit. But I'm not sure how long a walk that would be... Apologies for holding things up.
ooc: well Gilbert is no longer disguised and trying to follow behind but doesnt know the plan I dont think now that Darvin is taking him away do he is just kind of observing fr. a distance.

OK, edited to reflect that he follows you under suggestion and you are now at HQ.
"The bath house is not the only outwardly inocuous establishment the order uses as a front. You'll be safe in here," Darvin/Vaaz says to Amrik, showing him into one of the empty bedrooms. "As for your brother, he is dealt with, but he apparently has remaining sympathizers on the inside. Make yourself comfortable; let me take your cloak for you. I'll be back when I've made sure we weren't followed," he adds, locking the door behind him.
OoC: Is locking him in there feasible? My thought is we take Amrik's cloak to the Duke as evidence that her son is being held captive, and ask our staff to make sure he doesn't leave.
Once The party is all gathered in the kitchen, Tibi looks up and says "right whose going to talk to the Duchess, Drasbash or me who as far as we know nobody can link with his abduction or one of you disguise types?"looking at Darvin and Gil

Tibi drops out of the fog and drives his rapier into the Spined devil which twists away after the first attack and barely avoids the follow up slash from the short sword.
Amrik is making his way through the alley when a series of magical darts slam into him nearly knocking him to his feet.
Darvin is up
Tibi (44/44), Spinded Devil (15), Gilbert (37/37), Darvin (38/38), Amrik (32), Drabash (49/49), Vhaltus (?)
Darvin, appearing to be Vaaz, grabs Amrik as soon as he is hit with Gil's missiles, as if to protect him, and looks toward Gil with an expression of bewilderment, as if he is as surprised as the rest of them that the cultist was turning on them. "We need to get you to safety!" he says, attempting to throw himself around Amrik and pull him away from the fight.

Then (during the next round, barring other developments), he whispers into Amrik's ear, "Let your men handle those ruffians. Stay out of it and come with me."
(casting suggestion)
"Darvin" | Changeling | Hexblade 1 / Swords Bard 6 | Descent Into Avernus (AC 19; PP 14; 52/52 HP)
Anton Chergoba | Human | Battlemaster 4 | Lost Mines of Phandelver (AC 20; PP 14; 36/36 HP)
Drabash, you are about 50 feet behind the others. Give me your surprise and round 1 actions.
Gilbert, please post a round 1 action. I'll hint that Tibi has the spined devil taken care of.
Gilbert would squint towards Vhaltus as his companion tries to lure away Amrik. He would the point towards vjaltus as his spectral bat flies from under his robe ant attempts to help distract the enemy as he casts chromatic orb
Attack: 12 Damage: 22 lightning
Drabash uses the surprise round to dash towards the others, drawing his axes as he runs.
He then launches into a whirlwind of blades upon the spined devil.
Attack: 26 Damage: 11
Attack: 27 Damage: 9
Attack: 17 Damage: 9
Darvin tries to grab Amrik
15
But his hands slip on Amrik's cloak and he doesn't get a good hold.
Drabash, realizing how far behind he is dashes forward to catch up to the others.
Tibi, in a spectacular flying move, cuts the Spined Devil apart and it's dead body falls to the ground.
Gilbert launches an orb of magic at the other bodyguard but despite the help from his bat he misses.
Darvin tries to lead Amrik away
20
He quickly agrees and moves with Darvin away from the fight.
Drabash, seeing the Spinded Devil dead attacks the other bodyguard and cuts her down.
Amrik suddenly finds himself alone.
(OOC: DM are you waiting for somebody in the party to respond)
DM - Stopping a god in his tracks
Yup, you've killed the bodyguards and Amrik is alone with you guys now. How do you wish to proceed?
Tibi gives a whistle and looks to Darvin with a raised eyebrow (not sure Aaracockra have eyebrows) as if to say "now what?"

"They will be expecting you to go to your mother's place. Let's go to that safehouse --- we can keep you hidden," Darvin says, leading Amrik toward their AI base.

Still under the power of the suggestion Amrik quickly agrees and follows Darvin.
As they set off for the AI house, Tibi falls in behind keeping an eye on the ravens and what they might be doing!

Drabash will follow at the back of the group, constantly scanning for any signs of followers.
