Waves of Peril

"Shite. The fuzz. Cheese it!"

The thief attempts to hide.

((I'm thinking Toonary and Maya made it back to the rest of the group, ie. where Bertrand is?))

Maya would tuck herself into the treeline, "Are we hiding or engaging?"

(Gridolpho) You are successful.

(Maya, and Toonary) Both of you rejoin the Party.

As the riders approach one of them shouts, "How many are there?" "Six maybe Seven!" The other replies. "Remember, The High Master said if we find them we're not engage!" He adds. "I heard him, One rides back. One observes!" Confirms the first rider.

(Toonary) You recognize the symbol on their tabards. It belongs to a god that until a recently was worshipped mostly in the North. Asmodeus. 

(do I know anything about Asmodeus?)

Argus continues not to move and stay hidden at this time

(Toonary) Not much. He's a relatively new deity to the Sword Coast. His worship began to appear shortly after the infamous, Time of Troubles.

“I don’t like the sound or the looks of these guys” A small grumble comes from Maya’s throat as goosebumps pepper her skin. “Is this tower our objective anyway?” She’d keep an eye on the riders and the directions they split up. “Do we wanna circle around and take them out a couple at a time as we make our way closer?” 

"I don't know if we should take these guys out.  Seems like they (or their master) does not want to harm who they are looking for  Heck, it may not even be us they are talking about.  I vote we should make our way closer to see what other info we can get"... 

Maya would frown, not completely satisfied, but she’d put her staff away. She’d stand down as per a comrades request. “I’m not convinced though. There’s something about their colours that’s throwing up a red flag. It’s not sitting well with me.” A grumble could still be heard in her throat. “They might not do anything... but this ‘High Master’...”

Toonary is holding his mace tight off his belt.  Thinking to himself I protect my friends.

(Maya) You've seen the symbol before, you just can't recall the deity it represents.

The two riders enter the woods, immedietly they slow their horses to a casual walk, and begin to look around. " Do you think there's a Cleric with them?" One asks the other. "I hope there is", the other answers. " The High Master says that sacrificing them bestows great favor from our god." He says with glee.

Gridolpho moves to get behind the riders.

Bertrand will ready himself to cast as he looks to the rest of the group to see what they plan to do. "Does anyone believe this is the cult that we are looking for?"

Ignorant of what lies ahead a woman wearing a cape and a leather armor, and using a trident as walking stick is walking down the path towards the building. She has the hood of her cloak on, but on her hands the party can see that she has pale blue skin. She stops, and takes a long sip from a waterskin. It seems to them that she has no clue of the riders approaching her. 

Maya’s throaty growl would turn to snarl when she hears the riders speak of sacrificing a Cleric. Her intuition felt confirmed just then. She’d look to Argus, “The threat is all I need.” And she arms herself with her spear. She then turns to Bertrand, “I do.”

Maya would watch Gridolpho get into position, she’d nod to him as a signal that she’d be ready to engage.

((How far are they? Maya would move to be at least within 120ft when they engage.))

Argus nods to Maya "I understand...".  Argus readies a hand axe to throw and watches Maya and Gridolpho to see how they plan to engage.

Toonary stands up, and into view of the Riders.

"I Cleric! Sacrifice if can!"

He stretches or one hand, with the other on his holy symbol and says a prayer as a blast of energy flys from his finger tips.

(Guiding bolt, 8 to hit, don't think it hits, but if it does 11 damage.)

He then rushes to the riders, if he can get there he will use his bounce action to do goring Rush.

(9 to hit, again don't think it hits, but 6 damage if it does.)

(OOC sorry I rolled like crap)
