You leave the temple, entering the city in an attempt to help quell the undead threat.

esobok

As you approach a street intersection, a trio of zombies threatens a lone woman. Before you can intervene, a soul-shaking howl fills the air and a pair of hideous creatures—horrible masked amalgams of bear and crocodile—burst from an alley. These esobok psychopomps tear into the zombies, felling them but injuring the human woman in the process. The esoboks begin feeding on the decayed flesh of the slain undead while the human lies dying in the street.

What do you do?

Khadi runs after Iseret, divine energy already pulsing from her symbol as she reaches the woman. 'Khepri don't let an innocent life pass. She preses her hands to the woman's wounds stabilising her before looking up and watching the pyschopomps warily, unsure how much of a danger they are.

Tabat can you lift her somewhere I can look at her wounds?'

Esoboks are the blunt and vicious predator caste of psychopomps. They patrol as feral hunters, hungry for undead flesh. Though as outsiders esoboks don’t have to eat and draw no sustenance from this behavior, the spark of undeath is a feast for their every sense, and they pursue and ravenously consume undead creatures given the chance.

They have an ability to rip the soul or spirit free of a body, which destroys minor undead, and is also unpleasant for the living.

"On it," Tabat says and moves swiftly forward until within an uncomfortable distance to the busy creatures. He then quickly strides forward in an attempt to reach the woman but without startling the creatures or drawing attention to himself unnecessarily.

As soon as you get close to the woman, who is unfortunately too close to the esoboks, they snarl and attack. Of course, you're ready for them, but they're ready for you, and that means...

Iseret is up first. If she wishes to delay, then the esoboks will charge Tabat while Jaware fires arrows at them.

Jaware fires two arrows, at the first esobok, adding some acid to the second. The first hits but doesn't do full damage.

The esoboks lunge for Iseret and Tabat, pouncing catlike for their attacks. Iseret manages to dodge out of the way, but Tabat is hit hard by its claws (11 damage).

You're all up, in whatever order you post. (Technically Tabat and Khadi at the end of this round, and Iseret and Jaware at the beginning of next).

Iseret attempts to move to a flanking position, if such does not subject her to AoOs. Successful or not, she stabs again with her shortsword. Add +2 to the attack below if flanking is possible, and the extra damage is for a sneak attack in that event.

Jaware fires two more arrows at the wounded one. It drops to the ground. Then, mysteriously, it vanishes. Jaware shouts, "These are summoned creatures!"

The remaining uninjured esobok turns at Khadis channelling and, jaws slavering in increased hunger, charges her.

Tabat looks around, trying to spot anyone that could have been responsible for the summoned foes. If he sees nobody lurking in the shadows, he rushes to Khadi's aid, thrusting his speak at the Esobok in a flanking maneuver. If he does see someone that might be responsible for the summoning, his movement and attack is against them instead.

There are no obvious casters or onlookers around.

Tabat rushes to Khadi's aid, and hits the esobok hard, taking nearly half of its life.

There is a surprised yelp as suddenly the beast is on top of Khadi as she tries to get out of the way of its claws, unfortunately too late. She staggers back slightly. 'Kh..Khepri.. Help....she manages to get out as energy starts to flow from her fingers, stiching her wounds together.

Iseret's devastating blow sets up the remaining Esobok, and then Jaware shoots a pair of arrows.

The Esobok vanishes into thin air, as it's 'death' ends the summoning.

The woman sobs, "Oh, thank you. I thought I was dead for sure. They came out of nowhere!"
