Chapter One: The Iron Sphere of Sthombo

I may be away from a computer for the rest of the evening, so just in case...

With Scarlip distracted by the adventurers in front of him, Mordred swoops in from behind, slashing with his rapier.

I'll deal non-lethal damage, in the event that Felor hurts him enough for that to make a difference.

ETA: That attack roll should be +5. I tried to add it to the roll, but apparently fouled it up somehow.

The gap Scarlip leapt is the junction of the side tunnel I think, not to a ledge on the other side of the main tunnel (there isn't one).

Seeing that there's no choice now but to engage in combat, Felor moves past Vad to close on the Justicar, and readies his spear.

Spear attack!

Leth quickly slides his explorer's pack off his shoulder and on the ground, near the wall, before jumping in the water. As much as he wanted to get this over with, he still wanted to do his best to make sure he didn't get any of his stuff wet. That miserable night they spent camped out in the longhouse was more than enough to convince him of that. As he jumped in, he made sure to keep his bow above the water, holding it horizontally at eye level. With so many people between him and the Justiciar, he needed to be sure he could get a clear shot. He had at first considered attacking the newest addition to the fray, but seeing as how he had just stuck his rapier into the back of the Justiciar, Leth was inclined to let him keep doing so, at least until the Justiciar was no longer a problem. So thinking, he nocked an arrow to his bowstring, drew it back, and let the projectile loose at the Jusiciar.


Edit: Sorry, forgot to add my modifier to my damage roll. Dexterity, Right? so it should be +3 damage. 6 damage total.

With the Justicar slumped on the sewer walkway, Felor eyes the newcomer. Demonic-looking, make no mistake, but not quite the nightmarish creature the temple adepts described. A tiefling, perhaps?
"Thank you for your assistance... friend."
With that, Felor carefully lays down his spear and makes his way towards the fallen Justicar. Touching the man's wounds, he mutters a short prayer.
"No sense in adding an actual murder to our fictional crimes," he says to no-one in particular.

Cast Spare The Dying on Scarlip.

Mercy. It's a very good sign. They are likely criminals, if a Justiciar is running through the sewers to catch them, but as Mordred knows all too well, it's easy for an innocent citizen to get on the law's bad side in Sthombo.

"Not sure I helped out all that much to be honest. I think my blade hit a rivet in his armor or something. I won't bother asking what you did to piss off the Justiciars, but I will ask that you not bring your trouble into the sewers any more."

He sheathes his sword.

"My name is Mordred, though I suspect you've heard me called something else. I am no threat to your life, just a humble thief trying to get by as best I can in a city that doesn't appreciate my... ethnic background.

Now that you've... mostly killed a Justiciar, I'm guessing that your stay in Sthombo is at an end for the time being. I'd be happy to help you out of the city through the underground. Do you have a destination in mind?"

Insight check to see if he can tell if they are dangerous or untrustworthy.
