[Gameplay] 3. The Sanctum

I believe that a light crossbow does a 1d6 damage, rather than 1d4+4.

You are correct, sir. Don't know where I got d4+4 from. It may be from one of the 5E games I am playing in. Rerolling damage.

Jaware turns to Velriana and strafes a step to the side, unleashing two more arrows, the second delivering acid splash. Both arrows miss her however.Initiative Order

'Khepri, keep us standing...' Khadi channels, the positive energy flowing around Azaz, Khelru and Velriana, but healing Idorii alongside the other delivers.

Tabat screams as the burning rays burrow into his skin and he falls to the ground. Only a moment later, a bathe of healing energy washes over him and his eyes flutter open. He feels at his body, quickly releasing a burst of healing energy into his own self, then groans and pushes himself back up.He prepares to unleash an attack against any enemy that is, or comes, within range. "This could have been resolved PEACEFULLY," he yells through the attack.

As Azaz backs into him, Tabat clobbers him, his enhanced weapon severing the boy's spine as he tries to escape Idorii.Initiative Order

Iseret takes stock of the situation. "I'm truly sorry that it had to be this way," she says with sincere regret. She launches a projectile at one of the Velrianas.

Tabat points his weapon at the fleeing Velriana. He takes off after her at incredible speed, holding his shield to the side and bringing his weapon up for an, hopefully final, attack. As he completes the charge, he brings the khopesh down with righteous might.

Tabat ends the combat swiftly and decisively striking Velriana in the back with his khopesh. She grunts and falls to the ground, driven unconscious and dying.

Combat is over.

Idorii lowers her weapons and looks at you. "I'm sorry, she insisted we would recover a special item sacred to Nethys and then we would leave. We haven't taken anything really."

Khadi immediately rushes to look at the fall Scorched hand, casting prayers over them to stabilize their condition if she gets to them in time.

'We should hand them over to the guard, rather than deal their punishment ourselves.' Her eyes flick up to Idorii. '..thank you, for not forcing us to hurt even another...'

You stabilize them efficiently. They remain unconscious, but are no longer dying. Idorii sheathes her weapons. "You're going to spare them? You're good people. Disarm them though, they're well equipped. And gag all of them, they're all spellcasters."

'It is not our place to decide if they die, it's the guards and temple of Pharasma. We should not take it in our own hands. She also doubted her father would be too pleased if she also told him they tried to kill her and her friends. ' You do however have a very good point....' She starts to follow Idorii's advice.
