Hellish Rebuke: DC13 DEX save for half of 11 damage, and then Jasun follows up with another blast:
Gotta blast Attack: 15 Damage: 8

"My coat!" he cries in surprise and frustration.

Rose will gasp in surprise at seeing Sera fall, very quickly running over and giving her a much needed heal!

No sleeping on the job!: 6

Jirel kills Volan and Rose saves Seraphina. With the guards dead, you are now left in a tavern with a bunch of terrified civilians. Whether that's because they were being viciously interrogated less than 30 seconds ago or because a bunch of foreigners came in and killed the guards with their strange powers, or a combination of those factors, you can't tell. One of the people in here straight up tells you that your continued presence here will only bring more trouble. 

"Eet ees time for us to leave here and head to the Pale Tower. Let me go home to make some final preparations, then we can go." Nadya leaves the tavern to get her shortswords and ask someone to watch over her sons while she's gone. When she returns, she's accompanied by a husky. "Thees ees Hatch. He can help us eenfeeltrate the Pale Tower. 

"Hello!" The husky says in an accented voice. "I am Hatch!" Level up to three.

Jasun waves his hand at the horrified civilians, as if he was a superhero who had just saved the day. "Everything is alright, people. The danger has past." he says, with a dramatic pose.

Then the dog spoke.

"GAHhuahue!" Jasun recoils suddenly, surprised, not expecting the husky to talk. "What devilry is this?"

Jirel would wipe her blades off on Volan's clothes before looking up to see who Jasun was talking too. Her face would drop blank, realizing she completely forgot about the other civilians. And she completely destroyed the place. "Time to go..." The goliath will tiptoe backwards, stepping over and around the debris, to move away from the crowd.

Jirel would have to take a double-take at the dog, hearing confirmation that it did indeed speak.

Sera groans and pushes herself to her feet, leaning against the wall and ignoring the people. She pushes herself to her feet as Nadya comes back. "Yep...time to go. How will Hatch be giving us a hand? Or a paw?"

Zaf the Rat innocently waves at Hatch. Then, he bounds over to Rose, and start making motions to be picked up. After tasting the joys of being able to ride on someone, the Aarakocra was somewhat hooked on the notion. But, if none are willing to lend a helping hand, the druid hops over to Hatch, making a similar motion with hopeful eyes.

Rose is relieved that the battle ends with little to no more further injury, stowing away her staff for the time being before trying to go ahead and assess the other villagers had they received any wounds. However, when they refuse herself and say their presence would only bring more trouble, the firbolg is silent for a time.

She is shaken out of thought when she sees Zaf-a-rat making motions to her, earning him a soft smile from the cleric as she leans down and picks him up, setting him on her shoulder for him to hang out on. When she hears the talking husky, she tilts her head in confusion. "Ah... Nice to meet you, Hatch. My name is Rose." She gestures to herself, then then the rat on her shoulder. "And this is Zaf. He doesn't normally look like this though, heh. Just a temporary form. I think."

"BWAH!" Jason jumps again, "A rat! Ew!"

Zaf cocks his head to the side at Jason, in his usual birdish fashion. But then, his attention goes to Rose and Hatch, and with his arms crossed over the chest, he nodded enthusiastically in agreement.

"Rats aren't gross..." Rose mumbles after hearing Jasun's reaction, then speaks up louder. "I-it's Zaf, remember?"

"Oh, it's Zaf, right right." he remembers. "Sorry about that, Zaf." he admits. And then, under his breath, "Yes they are."

"I am a domovoi, thees ees merely the form I use to hide from the White Witch and her followers. I was a house spirit for her a long time ago. But I pulled some pranks on her, she deed not like that, so she had me beaten and tossed me out of the castle. Nadya found me and nursed me back to health, so I leeved weeth her and her family. But eef you are attackeeng the tower, I can tell you the passwords to the teleporters eenside the tower."

"Ah, of course, a domovoi. Well, that would certainly be useful to us, so we appreciate your help." Jasun nodded to the talking dog. "No tricks, though, yes?"

And then, after a moment, he turns to the party, asking, "What's a domovoi?"

Arcana: 12

A domovoi is a fey creature with limited magical power. They tend to use their powers to help around a family's house and defend it when outsiders attack. Their true form is that of a small man that's almost entirely beard.

"Ah, yes." Jasun said. "I remember now."

Then he turned to Nadya.

"Nadya, my dear.." he began, "I do indeed hope that we didn't cause any additional trouble to you or your family for our actions here this day."

"What trouble? You deed not keel my daughter. Nor deed you arrest me een the meedle of the morning. You might be what saves me and my family."

"Nazhena will certainly not be pleased as to what we have done here this day." Jasun admits. "Nevertheless, we shall continue our endeavor to infintrate the tower to, hopefully, end this sort of oppression." he then straightened up, realizing something. "Certainly beats lecturing and preparing lessons.."

"Don't forget, as well, that you're doing this for your master, you handsome man." 

"Yes, yes.." he groaned, then startled, realizing he said that out loud. He cleared his throat. "Yes! Let us proceed when ready." he smiled, trying to cover up his slip.

Deception: 5

Shit.

Zaf the Rat squints at Jasun. Then, he brought two fingers close to his eyes then over to warlock. As much as there was plenty enough going on already, he had not forgotten the past conversation. Though if anyone but Jasun looked to the Rat, he conveniently try to pretend fascination at every other thing.

Deception: 14.

And did so very poorly..

Insight 9

He just caught the glance from the rat.

It didn't bother him, though. He had other worries to consider.

Like how was he going to get into Nadya's panti--

"JASUN!" Jezzika exclaimed in his head, shocked and saddened by his thought. But yet..amused?

He sighed. Unlimited cosmic knowledge was proving more and more difficult to obtain. Was this some sick joke from T'Vauz or Umbra? Hhh. Why was he paired up with HER? Some questions would go unanswered it seemed.
