"Fiends!" Alalla gasps with surprise. "The militia are fiends in disguise!" She draws her sword and sets it ablaze. "Kill the militia and protect the townsfolk." She charges the closest fiend.

Zenithral has been quiet and distracted. The work of collecting the names of the dead has been a solemn work. When Alalla shouts to attack, though, he responds instantly. His bow strings itself and several arrows fly into his hand as he draws the bow. He says nothing, but on his face is a deathly gaze, determined to not let any more citizens die.

"Whoa whoa whoa! Slow down Al. How would you feel if people attacked you to save the villagers just because you were part orc? Maybe these guys are alright. We should at least give them a chance. Maybe this sort of reaction is exactly why they're hiding behind that illusion."
Stepping forward a little, Vincent continues. "So, fiends, do you happen to know who killed, but didn't rob, our good friend the Barrel Maker?"

"You don't come in disguise as the authority unless you plan to use that authority," Alalla hisses. "But I'm sure they mean no harm, coming to a secret meeting to overthrow the mayor." Despite her dissent, she stays where she is and lowers her sword slightly. She gestures to the others to hold.

As Ug locks eyes with the yeti, there is more than kinship passed between the two. The cold pulse Within Ugs veins, and the deep pounding of the hunter within, Ug learns more than to simply withstand this creature, his instincts adapt to it. Ugs eyes mimic the paralyzing gaze, his skin turns to a marble of white and blue and the frigid air no longer seems to effect him. A new found strength surges into Ugs chest and where his hands grasp his head he feels a now more familiar pair of horns.
The yetis pound their feet and chests as they witness Ugs transformation. They howl in haunting unison. Ug beats his chest in kind and the yetis grow more excited. They lift their horned heads back and let out a wintry howl and the snow swirls around them. It is here that Ugs attempt fails. His howl, though bestial, is obviously off. The yetis cease their howling and bare their fangs. For a brief moment Ug thinks they will attack, but they hold off. With a grunt the lead yeti growls at the part barbarian and backs slowly away. A cold wind blows a swirl of snow about them and when it settles the yeti are gone.
But Ugs horns remain

The disguised fiends do nothing except put hands to their weapons, but Kalden sneers. "I hear she was missing an eye - not unlike an orc god we've all heard of. Gruumsh's priests do that to themselves, you know. A hideous disfigurement." He points at his own eye, then again at Alalla. "She herself arrived in town similarly disfigured, like one of those orc priests! And the rumors... the orc army referred to her as 'Daughter of Gruumsh'. And yet she stands now with both eyes! What games does she play? How many faces do she and her companions wear?"
The townsfolk recoil from the heroes as though they bear some hideous disease. "These Gruumsh worshippers murdered Deirdre Galloway and several others, and marred their faces with a profane sign! You cannot trust anything they say."
He raises his hands high. "Who can sort through all of these lies? Ulbrec? His grief has crippled him, because of them. We need a new leader, one who can protect us from liars, murderers, and orc-blooded monsters!" The crowd nods in agreement.

A gleam of gold shimmers in Alalla's hand as Blitzkreig returns to its mistress. Al slams it into the ground. "I am a servant of Torm!" The deity's name thunders throughout the room as tremors spread from her glaive. "And the True Deity hears your lies. My duty is to protect the people of the Dale and to free them from those that would enslave them and lead them astray. The Loyal Fury has given me power to help me fulfil that duty to the orcs and Targos alike. Until my blade meets Belhifet's flesh, until I can do more than spitting in Gruumsh's eye, that means bringing the sword of justice down on petty deceivers like you."
Alalla hurls her glaive at Kalden's dumb face.
Alalla uses thaumaturgy to make her voice boom and tremors happen. Kalden must take 19 damage and make a strength save or be knocked prone. The intimidate roll is also intended to try and help the townsfolk see through the lies.

The townsfolk shy back even further when Alalla thumps her glaive. The militia guards draw their weapons, features as expressionless as a bland mask. Kalden hoists his crossbow, and the townsfolk dive for cover.

"Are any of you Zariel's friends?" Alalla's eyes become pools of fire and flaming wings form behind her back. The fire on her sword shines white. "She'll be pretty angry that you're here."
Al strikes out quickly at the nearest fake militia member. When her sword bites into his flesh the flames return to their usual colour and the radiance fills the man instead. Alalla barely registers the man's new pearly glow before her sword is cutting into the fiend again.
Guard 1 takes 28 slashing, 21 fire, and 8 radiant damage. Al uses Branding smite. G1 sheds dim light in a 5-foot radius and can't become invisible until the spell ends (1 minute or concentration).

Ras follows quietly behind his friends as they view the bodies and discover the fiends in the warehouse. He isnunsure of what is going on, since the death of the Barrel Maker occured during his spell of grief. He simply knows that he is with his friends and that he will stay with them.
Seeing Al attack, Ras raises his hand at the fiends and sends a trusty lightning bolt in their direction.

Alalla begins her assault and the guard immediately shows his skill and resilience to be far above a militia man. Zenithral fires between her sword strokes to hit her target in the eye. (Guard 1 takes 28 damage, probably lethal.)
He shifts an arrow from his knuckles to his thumb and forefinger and fires at another guard. Vincent moves blindingly fast and gets in between him and the guard. Zenithral bends the arrow into a different guard and follows up with another shot to its neck. (Guard 3 takes 45 damage)
He had to protect the villagers...the glare in his eye gets more intense as the guards make their move. Anger rises in his core. No more deaths here. Not today. "By Ilmater's name, you will STAND DOWN FIENDS. Let us not make this more difficult than it must be." (All enemies must make a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or drop what they are holding, such as weapons or shields that don't strap on, and be charmed by Zenithral for a turn or until they next take damage.)

Kalden takes aim at Alalla, but she moves more quickly. Her glaive soars through the air and glances off the crossbow, and the glaive's long haft spins about to crack painfully against Kalden's head even as his crossbow bolt is launched into the crate at his feet. The man curses and puts a hand to his head, inadvertently turning away from Ug's icy glare (Kalden passed his save against Chilling Gaze). "See their murderous intent? They attack your protectors!" The townsfolk shriek as they attempt to flee.
The disguised guards surge forward to meet Alalla, Vince, and Erevain, fighting with more skill and coordination than any mere militia could ever hope to achieve. They strike and parry as a single unit, each one covering its allies' blind spots (Al takes 29, Vince takes 11 unless Shield, Erevain takes 22), and even go so far as to take hits for each other so that no single guard falls (As a group they each spend their reaction and spread all damage from hits around evenly).
It is an impressive display of discipline, but then Ras' lightning bolt roars through their ranks, greatly weakening two of the hardy fiends. Ras is forced to refrain from trying to line up more foes, for fear of hitting the townsfolk. The bolt continues on to strike through several crates and even the warehouse wall beyond, blasting a hole open into the night air.
Then Zenithral's commanding voice rings out through the warehouse. The fiends' innate resistance to magic grants them some defense against the half-elf's divine authority, but still two of the fiends tremble until their weapons fall to the warehouse floor.
As Zenithral's voice subsides, another voice can be heard chanting from somewhere in the warehouse, and then a noxious cloud suddenly billows up around the combatants, obscuring everyone's vision. Alalla, Vince, Ug, Erevain, and most of the townsfolk breathe in the poisonous fumes and immediately begin to retch. The disguised guards, with their fiendish resilience, are unaffected by the poison, though are still blinded by the swirling cloud.

[ +- ] Stinking Cloud
You create a 20-foot-radius sphere of yellow, nauseating gas centered on a point within range. The cloud spreads around corners, and its area is heavily obscured. The cloud lingers in the air for the duration.
Each creature that is completely within the cloud at the start of its turn must make a Constitution saving throw against poison. On a failed save, the creature spends its action that turn retching and reeling. Creatures that don't need to breathe or are immune to poison automatically succeed on this saving throw.
A moderate wind (at least 10 miles per hour) disperses the cloud after 4 rounds. A strong wind (at least 20 miles per hour) disperses it after 1 round.

The cloud itself obscures vision, but rules-wise it comes out to just cancelling advantage/disadvantage for people fighting in the cloud, so just straight rolls there. However, since you cannot SEE you can't target with spells that require you to see the target.
You can leave the cloud with your movement. Tell me the direction you want to go (FORWARD in the direction of Kalden, or BACKWARD the way you came, and I'll tell you if your movement makes you leave the cloud (since you guys can't actually see where it ends).
Nobody is really sure where Pomab is, but anyone can make a Perception check to figure out where.

[ +- ] Control Winds
A wind picks up within the cube, continually blowing in a horizontal direction you designate. You choose the intensity of the wind: calm, moderate, or strong. If the wind is moderate or strong, ranged weapon attacks that enter or leave the cube or pass through it have disadvantage on their attack rolls. If the wind is strong, any creature moving against the wind must spend 1 extra foot of movement for each foot moved.
