Elyshaeba recalls her familiar.
"Wait!" She calls after Gilcyne. "There are armed men outside at the edge of a city. We are in a shrine of some kind. The name outside says it is a Redemption Spire: A place for those who have committed crimes to go to atone for their sins. The armed ones outside seem to know someone is inside."

"How many men? Wait, city? We are in a city?" Gilcyne hustles over to the side of the archway. She uses the wall to give her cover as she looks outside.

"Armed men? Perhaps they can tell us why we're in this curious place." Valamara suggests. "If they do, we'll get it out of them...one way or another."

"There are six or seven...maybe eight at most. They look like they are aching to start some trouble." She answers Gilcyne and then conveys to the others she can converse with.

@kalajel: where is everyone when we hear of the fighters outside? Is Glump still upstairs, and has Palari reached him yet?

"That's too many, even for me. Perhaps finding out more about this place would be a good idea, if they are waiting for us to come out anyway. Or at the very least I might be able to convince some of our...fellow convicts...to assist." Gilcyne says to Elyshaeba in their native tongue.
"I've decided to look around a bit before heading out. We might have people looking to kill us if we leave here. Maybe I do want to know why that is before i meet them." She says in Dralucian and Krandian before heading up the stairs.

As you all discuss tactics, you see Glump heading back down, looking dejected...

"So, I take it your foray was not profitable or interesting?" Valmara shoots toward Glump as he reappears. She strides over to the open archway with bow in hand and glances over to where Gilcyne is hiding in cover from the entrance. "Well, how many are there?" She takes a few more steps and peeks out herself.
OOC:
As a general rule, Valmara is speak to a single person in a language known to that person. With Glump it will be Low Dendrelyssi. To Gilcyne or Elyshaeba, it would be Witch. to Palari, it would be Krandian. To Korghar, she would rely on Palari to translate.Last edited May 15, 2023 9:10 pm

Seeing Glump reappear, Palari decides there is no need to go up the steps.
Palari is not a straight-up fighter, but she can defend herself. She has no missile weapons, only hand-to-hand combat.
OOC:
It looks like the only other way out is thru the doorway, and dealing with any trouble from the fighters outside. Maybe we should decide on a strategy before we go out? Who does the talking, where we will all stand, that type of thing?Palari is not a straight-up fighter, but she can defend herself. She has no missile weapons, only hand-to-hand combat.

OOC:
Valmara has a CHA of 12. No bonuses for negotiation and is a Dendrelyss. Her talking to these people could either be a good thing or a really bad thing, depending on how they are disposed to demonkin. She has a bow and would prefer ranged combat to start. She only has 2 hit points and no demons yet.May 15, 2023 10:33 pm
"Elyshaeba said eight at most."
OOC:
Gilcyne isn't any better in the Charisma are. I'm willing to try negotiating, but dont have high hopes. If nothing else being in close for talking would mean being in close if fighting breaks out, which is where Gilcyne is meant to be.Last edited May 15, 2023 10:35 pm

Elyshaeba is best as the group's healer. She only has a 10 CHA, is obviously a witch. She also has one spell, which is sleep.May 15, 2023 10:44 pm
OOC:
Do Glump or Korghar have fighting skills?Palari's CHA is 8, so she is terrible in social situations. But like Gilcyne she is best at hand-to-hand. So maybe Palari and Gilcyne try negotiating, possibly with Glump or Korghar as backup if they are good at fighting?
Elyshaeba and Valmara can stay under cover until they know it is safe to come out.
Not sure what the rest of you think about that as a plan?

OOC:
Glump's highest stats are intelligence and charisma, but that's not saying much as both are only 12. He's a sorcerer, but his only spell isn't going to help in this situation. He has no ranged weapons, unless he throws his only dagger. All of that being said, he thinks he can do anything and would join anyone closing to try to talk to these people.May 15, 2023 10:54 pm

Over to you @seifi, then we can decide how we approach the armed temple guards/raiders/troopers/whatever they areload next
