So Makoto's wagon is moved out to a barn on the edge of town. On the day of the plan Yin has the stable boy secretly take their horses and goat out to the barn. That evening, the party sneaks out to the barn by a route that is away from where the npcs are hiding. As you enter the barn you instantly realize your plan to "leave" was discovered as both horses and the goat are dead (
negative energy damage). A taunting voice laughs from the rafters, "
You can't escape me with your horses dead. Dead, just like your brother and the gnome." As planned, Conan uses an enlarge person infusion while Makoto and Yin blanket the area around the voice with 2 10' radius glitterdusts. One spell catches him in it's area and he starts glittering. Outside, Chito and Miyogi both use 2 Candlerod's to alert the waiting townsfolk that battle has been started.
The Quasit laughs, "
Not good enough, I will see you later when my minion gets back, and then we will finish this." Obviously, 3 to 1 odds are not in his favor. The evil little voice flies out of the door to the hayloft and from outside you see the bright flashes of multiple Bursts of Radiance going off. The Quasit survives the first barrage (barely), screaming in pain. Blinded he tries to escape behind the barn but fails and is unable to escape the 2nd round of spells.
The party arrives outside to find a very dead quasit. Outsiders can not be reincarnated or raised by conventional rituals, so there is no need to try to prevent such things. The local lord arrives with the locals involved in the ambush as you are searching the body;
1 quasit body
scroll of shield of faith
wand of undetectable alignment (15 charges)
4 small rubies (50 gp each)
silver holy symbol of Shax
8 gp
+2 con belt
The lord will claim for his people who helped you, everything but the body and the belt. The clerics will return the 1 scroll that wasn't used. He would like to display the body for the people to see that the menace has been dealt with.
1 quasit body
+2 con belt 2000gp
scrolls left = 1 BoR(3rd CL)
How do you want to deal with the belt? Makoto can use the quasit body as components and/or you can make it a trophy.
Makoto and Yin are ok with giving the town most of the loot as the plan would not have worked without them. Makoto will make 1 of the dogs her animal companion and will look for a horse. The town/Lord will give you a good deal on some trained horses, 1 for each of you. Makoto and Yin would like some light horses to draw the cart and plan on giving them combat training so they won't spook as easy.
Now you can complete any tasks, finish shopping, etc...

Conan will find a few people open to his preaching. He and Miyogi have some good talks with the local clerics who are very interested in a new deity. You will be allowed to setup a shrine to Maple and 1 of your girls will take care of it. The other was a simple 1 night stand.
Ragnar needs a voice color other than Purple, Seagreen, Green, Pink, Blue or Orange.
Ragnar finally arrives at Rosehaven early in the evening. Up until this point most everyone you have asked along the way remember seeing a strange group of a halforc, gnome, beautiful halfelf and a foreign (oriental) woman and their collection of animals. By Ragnar's calculation he should be a couple of weeks behind, but why didn't he pass them on the way to Silverhalls?
It is a simple task to find out this same group is here in town. He hears about how they;
- went into the forest for some reason, came out 10 days later
- defeated a HUGE magical demonic boar (that just appeared, killed 2 locals and the gnome named Bobble, his dog and medium sized cat in a fedora)
- Bobble has been buried and the rest are local heroes
- They helped in the towns defeat of the demon responsible for the Hmd Boar
- Conan the halforc is a cleric of a new Goddess of music and art or something, and runs around with a dog and talking bird
- He has setup a shrine to his Goddess
- Yin is a BEAUTIFUL, magical halfelf healer
- Makoto is a magical, foreign and exotic dealer in alchemy and witchcraft
- They are currently at a feast with the Local Lord and many of the important townsfolk at the Lords castle
How do you want to approach this?
