Vassarious will keep attacking each round, but as they can't defend anyway, lets do AoA double for an extra attack, so that it's 3 attacks with RoF 3 cutting, so 18 damage per turn.

[ericthered]

Ok, so you have three swarms left, and I think everyone's actions are pretty much determined.

Vassarious finishes off another swarm, and Halcyone fires into another. rolled a 9, 8 and 6, resulting in 3,3,and 4 hits, doing 10 damage and finishing off the swarm not attacking anything.

Orb guy makes his will roll again, and V and Halcyone don't critically fail, so the last swarm is cleared.

Haley and Arlon have now witnessed your battle capabilities. So has the guy with the orb.

[TGLS]

I approach the orb guy, rifle in hand (though not pointed directly at him). "Talk.

Memetics! (For Interrogation)

3d6 <= 15
3 + 1 + 1 = 5 ... success

[ericthered]

wow, success by 10... is that a crit? with one word?


"Umm... Yes, I'm Teravan Purlock. I was sent out to kill you by the ... the masters. I was given a sphere and four swarms. I was just trying to survive. The world is changing. They're going to take over everything and then those who didn't help them will be fuel and food for those who did! If you let me go I'll run far far far away and never speak of this again. They're terrifying. They know who you are. Or at least they think they do. A spy in the town got all of your names. Maybe you should just kill me now. Without having elder things devour my soul. No, they'd just reanimate my body. We're all doomed."

"Idiot! If you succeeded, you'd be doomed. All you've done is force me to waste ammo. Get lost!"

I guess we should carry on to the cave system now.

"what else can you tell us about these 'Masters'?

Once Vassarious is satisfied they know nothing else of value, Vassarious will likewise let any survivors go.

[ericthered]

"The Masters! Umm... I take orders from Balantha Irdan, a dark mistress serving under the Lord of Death and Chaos. I have only seen the Lord a few times. They both appear Mortal, though The Lord of Death and Chaos seems to be an elder thing or elder spawn or some such horror. Then there are the undead: Deathborne, The Clerk, and Deadeye. They are the ones who give me orders. Mostly Mistress Irdan."


Any further questions for him?

[the_matrix_walker]

I think I'm good.

[TGLS]

I got nothing either.

[ericthered]

Teravan runs off. The other two are at least unconscious and at most dead.

Arlon and Haley pick over the bodies for useful bits: gear and money, mostly.

Arlon: "That was a wondrous display of power."

"He said they were looking for us. That is not good."

Haley: "Does anyone need healing?"

After the things done here, you will be able to make it to the immediate environs around Sabwerk. The area is quiet, for a supposed cultist hub.
