This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Errona squints her eyes and sees the thug trying to ascend the axebeak in the dark, but in his foolishness, he has forgotten that his enemies can see in the night... She pulls an arrow from her quiver and steadies her aim, releasing a shot at the fleeing, mounting, thug.
Roc moves closer and seeing Errona fire at the fleeing thug he once again lets his mind drift to calm and fires a seeking arrow.
Attack: 10 Damage: 4
Seeking Arrow (Special)
You can choose one creature you have seen in the past minute and fire an arrow that flies toward that creature, moving around corners and ignoring three-quarters cover and half cover. If the target is in range and a path is available, it must make a DEX saving throw (DC 11) or take damage from the arrow plus 2 force damage and you learn the target's location (half damage and location is unrevealed on success).
Roc fires another homing arrow at the thug, who barely dodges it while jumping on top of the axebeak. The thug prepares to take off, but is then shot in the dark by an arrow from Errona. He falls off of the mount, slumped over dead. (11 damage, 36 total) A furious bolt of energy blasts into the ground next to the fresh corpse. Floating above, blazing wings of fire hover in the night sky.
The remaining thug is unable to escape a23's grasp.
Imdra Arlaggath and several of the town guard march up to the town hall. 'INSIDE. ATTEND TO THE SPEAKER IMMEDIATELY." She looks to the three friendlies at the entrance. "Lumen's allies...thank goodness you were here." she sighs, gazing toward the glimmering cleric in the distance.
Combat has ended. Please award yourselves with 1200 xp. This should advance your characters to level 5!
Imdra enters the town hall as the guards secure the perimeter. Speaker Danneth Waylen exits the backroom, one arm over a guard and the opposite hand on his wrapped injury.
a23 inspects the fallen thug boss to find:
Shortsword, +1 Weapon (shortsword), uncommon You have a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon.
Proficiency with a shortsword allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with it.
Errona will pick up the sword and move her current sheathed one to her pack. She will also inspect the leader to see if there are any notes or anything he is carrying. She will then turn to the interrogation from Roc.
Roc does not recognize the hogtied thug in particular. However, he does recognize the thug leader as one of the higher-ups in the Targos guard.
Errona picks up a note on the thug leader, written in thieves' cant.
It says:
Magic cauldron found in Easthaven.
-Prudence Tarkwold
The hogtied thug, being held up by the bangs from Roc, taunts: "If it ain't Roc and Errona. What the **** are you doing here? Get tired of the farming life and decide to move to this backwater!?"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Errona laughs at the guys remarks and says "Ahh another man who is jealous they couldn't woo me with their inadequacies.. Always making excuses 'its just so cold! If only the rime was warmer I swear its not normally like this.. Spare the donkey manure and answer our questions before I skewer you like your boss. Why did you come for the cauldron and who told you about it?"
Intimidation: 3
Seeing that the man does not seem to be intimidated by her words, Errona draws her dagger and steadies her aim, she then attempts to stab it right between his legs near his gonads but miss them just barely...
The thug glances nervously at Captain Imdra Arlaggath and Speaker Danneth Waylen, before blurting out with his eyes shut tight: "It was Speaker Naerth Maxildanarr himself!! Our informant told us this would be an easy job...you fools don't know what you've gotten yourselves into! WAR IS COMING."
The thug bites his lip so hard that it starts to bleed. "Some wench from Easthaven from what the boss said." he says, glancing over at his leader's corpse. He is sweating profusely. "Just let me go alright!? I'll get out of here. I was just following orders. We all gotta put food on the table ya know??"
Imdra and Danneth look interested upon this revelation. "A traitor in the ranks."

Errona squints at the blazing wings of fire in the sky trying to determine what it is...
Perception 22
Roc drops down to a knee.
"Thank you for the healing, Lumen. I've had a few close calls lately."
Errona focuses her sight keenly on the bright figure in the distance and realizes that it is Lumen flying in the air.
What will a23 do with the grappled hostage?
while grappled, a23 will hog tie the thug with rope to keep him restrained for questioning.
once hes sure the thugs tightly bound and not going any where, a23 inspects the thug boss
investigation: 14
Imdra enters the town hall as the guards secure the perimeter.
Speaker Danneth Waylen exits the backroom, one arm over a guard and the opposite hand on his wrapped injury.
a23 inspects the fallen thug boss to find:
Inscribed on the hilt are symbols that the robot cannot decipher.
The hogtied thug wriggles around with an angry expression on his face.
“acquaintances of yours roc?”
a23 hands roc the sword as he motions to the dead thug boss and his hog tied goon.
Roc goes up and lifts the angry thugs face to him. Does Roc recognize it?
Perception: 8

Attack: 18 22 12
The thug spits at Errona's feet in reply to her questioning.
However, when she stabs in the direction of his most valuable tool, he shouts in fear.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU CRAZY *****!?"
His expression is that of genuine fear.
Imdra raises and eyebrow from the distance.
Errona narrows her eyes and puts a hand on her shortsword at her side and says "Final chance... Who told you about the cauldron?"
The thug glances nervously at Captain Imdra Arlaggath and Speaker Danneth Waylen, before blurting out with his eyes shut tight: "It was Speaker Naerth Maxildanarr himself!! Our informant told us this would be an easy job...you fools don't know what you've gotten yourselves into! WAR IS COMING."
"And what is the name of this informant?? No more blames, I want names!"
The thug bites his lip so hard that it starts to bleed. "Some wench from Easthaven from what the boss said." he says, glancing over at his leader's corpse. He is sweating profusely.
