"Aye, aye, Captain!" the three acknowledge, saluting. They seem to have gotten it into their heads that you are all pirates. Might've been the belaying pin. Anusha and Pranav scamper off, one running interference while the other goes for the drumstick. Hrik stays by your side, pointing out strategic infiltration points as well as key personnel. The kitchen is run by two women, Bina and Vimi, under the watchful eye of Auntie Rasya (the sweet and not very bright one). Bina wields the wooden spoon, and Vimi the rolling pin. At this moment Anusha and Pranav have Auntie distracted, and Bina has her hands full with a platter of fish. Vimi, with uncanny instinct that something is up, is guarding the samosas like a hawk.

You cast your Hex, and you see Vimi go a little cross-eyed. Anusha returns with a chicken leg sticky and fragrant with chutney.

What now?

Just as the rat is about to strike Rydler, he reaches out and seems to almost draw in the rays of sunlight before it flashes in a bright, blinding light.
OOC:
Reaction: Warding Flame; disadvantage on the attack against me.

Ybus strips the skin from the drumstick bone, smacking his lips around the chutney. He walks into the kitchen with the sticky meaty portion clasped in one hand so the bone sticks out, deftly slipping between furniture and people with uncanny halfling nimbleness.

Sauntering up to the watchful Vimi, Ybus looks up and says in a thick accent, "Mag-nee-feek! Ze flavor! Ze color! It speaks to ze efflu-ENT beau-tay in zis exquisite vi-sahg!" He pulls out the gujiya from his pocket and gives it a kiss with a loud smack, then draws S-shapes in the air with it. "The curve of zis morsel, matching ze curve of your plump... ooh, la la."

He gives Vimi an thorough appraisal, and gives a wink. "Where may I find moah of zese WAN-derful delicazees? I am so fam-EEShed! Look how skinny I am!" And like a fabled portly child, Ybus lifts the drumstick bone.
OOC:
Ybus is running interference for Hrik to try and abscond the samosas.

Boy howdy! You forgot to add a decimal point, right? That was only supposed to be 1.2 damage, right?

Rydler reels from the pain, almost dropping to his knees "Bar, plan B! Our friend looks a little cold and in need of some warmth."

Urban takes time to speak attentively to Auntie Sunitha. He tries to keep it light, "It wouldn't be the first time, but I am I am certainly thankful not to end up in irons! Ha!"

He takes her arm to walk her through the halls as she tells him her wishes. "I would be glad to escort Miss Aishwarya and support whatever business she has to accomplish. You will find that we are worth our pay."

He is watching Aishwarya, still enamored by her. He says to Auntie Sunitha, "You say that she is already reminding you of herself. I have only met you both, but I think you are right. Both of you are magnificent."

He kisses Sunitha's hand as Aishwarya sweeps him onto the dance floor. He does his best to participate, and hide the feeling that he is completely outmatched in this scene.

Erden feels the last dregs of his magical reserves wash away in the aftermath of his spell and sags slightly, "Damn!" he curses, straightening up before holding his hand forth and summoning a ball of fire, which streaks toward the demonic creature.

Baracus feels the malice of the demon creature tear into his flesh. Now this was a worthy opponent! Something you could take pride in slaying! Something his fathers and brothers could look upon with pride from the Eternal Battlefields of Acheron.

As the claw rakes through his flesh, he catches the Demon's wrist on the out-swing.

Baracus locks the boney arm and strides toward the spear of sunlight stabbing through the door, dragging the demon with him into the light.

OOC:
Numsie's attempt to resist grapple: FAILED. *fist pump*

While in sunlight, the demon attacks with Disadvantage and all attacks against him have Advantage.

Also reminding everyone that you each earned Inspiration after the barn fight, so Erden can choose to expend that for that last Firebolt instead of his Portent roll.

Baddies' turn.

After a short session of embarrassing himself on the dance floor, Urban looks for a way to excuse himself. He makes a quick proposition to Auntie Sunitha, "On the trip out to the farm, I grew quite fond of that horse. He is quite a good worker. And the design of that cart is nothing like we have in Cysegr. Let me buy them from you?" He smiles and makes light of it, "I will not argue on price. Come on, you can make some of your money back on this deal. I am a motivated buyer."

Then Urban looks for Ybus. "I'm going back out to find the others. Can you come with me?"

Urban sets up to leave. (hopefully with the horse, cart, and Ybus - but I guess without if all of the above strike out. Ha!)

On the way out, he seeks Aishwarya and/or Aditya. "When I left them, my friends were following after a revered child that was being carried, perhaps one who had a healing ability? You remember the procession with the child, don't you Aditya? Do you know where that icon and his attendants might be found?"

OOC:
I didn't use my Portent last round and I'm hoping that an 18 is good enough to hit him!

Also, you said it's the baddie's turn, but I don't see a recap from last round yet :-)

OOC:
Yup I'll post those at the same time. Just tied up at the moment. :-)

Yeah 18 will hit!

Round 2

Erden's bolt of fire slams into the demon's face but it doesn't seem to do as much damage as expected. It does distract the demon at just the right moment: Baracus grabs the fiend by the arm and yanks it into the beam of sunlight, where it goes don and one knee and seems to diminish. It looks like it's starting to revert to human form. It tries feebly to break free of Baracus' mighty grip, to no avail.

It's Erden that notices it: the Golden Child stirs in her cage, and somehow she has drawn the moths to her. The rats snap and hiss at her but she is not deterred. With a whispered blessing she sends the moths, now tinged with gold, fluttering about the room, a swarm of radiance that engulfs you....

Everyone regains 9hp. Back to Heroes' turn.

Feeling revitalized, Rydler smiles and nods at the child "Bar, press your attack; Erd, focus on the rats." He waves his dagger at the scarred rat, feigning his attacks.

Help Action to Erden.

Urban finds Ybus surrounded by Aditya and Aishwarya, and three youths. The halfling and his crew are regaling Adi and Ash with a thrilling account of "springing the samosas". Ash is half-scolding, half laughing, while Adi is helping the crew gorge on their spoils.

When Urban asks about the sacred child, they scratch their heads. "Yeah I saw that." Aditya says. "Not anything I'm familiar with but you'll find them in the Temple District, I suppose. At any rate, I did promise I'd meet your friends with their pay when they returned to the Peacock Gate. Come on then."

Auntie Sunitha has consented to sell you the horse and wagon. Do you both go, Urban & Ybus?
Mar 15, 2018 12:41 am
"Got it!" Erden says, trusting Baracus to keep hold of the demonic creature for a minute. He turns his attention to the rat that Rydler is distracting, muttering some arcane words and launching a firebolt at it.

Urban takes the horse and cart and rides out with Aditya.
OOC:
If Ybus takes interest enough to come - great. But I doubt Urban would be too concerned if he stayed. Urban plans to come back with the others in short order.
