She is not good, but she does not register as evil to Tabat either.

Unwrapped Harmony
"You come as strangers, and we are rarely well treated by such. Still, if you will do us a favour, I will tell you everything you wish to know, at least as much as I know of such things."

She offers you some water, it's foetid but potable, taken from disused wells.

"Periodically, small groups splinter off from our community, usually to pursue their own dissenting ideas. My own apprentice, Gaunt Cadaver recently lead a few followers away to form his own clan. We are fascinated with your corpses, for we don't leave our shells behind. Mummification is a ritual that I've long wondered about. Gaunt Cadaver, however, sought to use necromancy to understand the mysteries of mummies. I will not tolerate this blasphemy, this desecration, but we lack the means to root him out ourselves. Go to the estate on the other side of the hill, and stop my apprentice's profane experiments. Will you do this, adventurers? Bring back proof of his death, he has a magic stone he swallowed, and I'll be at your service. Further, I'll reward you for any of my people you bring back to me alive."

"Ending such dark magic would not only be a reasonable cost for your knowledge and services, but - and I hope I speak proper for my companions as well - also our duty. I, for one, would not stand to allow such work continue. Are you certain, however, that your apprentice is beyond saving, that he might be brought back to you alive?"

As Tabat says, I have made it my duty to fight necromancy and undead. I will gladly seek him out to put and end to this. .'

"You're kind to think so, but he's utterly corrupted. Be safe, good people, and end this abomination before his madness spreads death throughout our community."

"Right," Tabat says, saddened by this, "We will right these wrongs and return to you with proof of the deed." He purposely doesn't commit to bringing back the proof that was asked for as he doesn't relish the idea of retrieving it.

Iseret nods her ascent as well, though she says nothing. Death is never a desirable outcome, but she will do as she has been bidden.

Vizier's Hill, Kawab Villa

A desolate garden choked with thorny brambles surrounds this small noble estate. A large, run-down house rises above the overgrowth in the center of the estate, its few windows dark and forbidding.

'Right, big guys with muscles first' Khadi claps Tabat on the shoulder with a grin. 'Front door or back?'
Nov 16, 2023 11:21 am
"Mhm, wouldn't have it any other way. Just keep me breathing, friend." He nods to the others. "Jawari, Iseret, ready?"

Once they assent, he approaches the front door and tries the handle of the main door (allowing Iseret to inspect first, as needed).

Three dark folk guard the inside room and immediately attack, saying, "No, you can't come in!"

Filthy, reeking black rags wrap these small humanoids from head to toe, leaving only hands and pale white noses visible. They have daggers which they will pull.

Looks like the bad guys are up first.

OOC:
Meant to do that but work got in the way. I should just quit!
They run up and attack with their daggers, catching you flatfooted, and they both hit.

Iseret takes 3, Tabat takes 2, and both make a Fortitude save please, DC 15, or take 1d2 Strength damage from poison.

Everyone can act.

Iseret winces as the poison courses through her veins. She feels her knees start to buckle, but ignores the numbness in her legs and presses the attack against her foe.
OOC:
She will make this a bleeding attack. If she connects, the opponent gains Bleed 3.

OOC:
One correction. The damage for Iseret should be one point less due to Strength loss.

Assumed you would use dex to damage as un unchained rogue?

Oops again, you're right.

Tabat tries to shake off the cut from the dagger. Having had pulled his spear, he twirls the weapon and strikes at the enemy that dared mar his flesh.
OOC:
Risky Strike: -2 attack, +6 damage
Andromeda moves up and nips at the same enemy as well.

Iseret attacks and opens a bleeding wound.

Tabat's powerful blow drives one to the floor, where it twitches and passes out.

Jaware also fires two arrows at the one Khadi shot.

The dark folk, reduced quickly to two, see the odds turn against them. One makes one last attempt to slay Iseret, while the one struck by Khadi and Jaware turns and runs (withdrawing).

Iseret, make two Fortitude saves please, DC 15, or take 1d2 Strength damage from poison from each.

Everyone can act again, their AC is 16.

Rolls

Attack on Iseret - (1d20+6, 1d3)
