Earl blocks the stairs up.

Delay.

Magnus also waits to see what happens.

Delay.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a shimmering figure with glowing red eyes appears! It stares at Magnus, Zaichus and Maavu; all of them choke down a wave of fear. It lashes out quickly at Maavu, gashing him, and then vanishes from sight!

Maavu takes a step back away from it and, instinctively, casts a spell. A blast of glitter covers the area where he thought the thing was. It was no longer there, but it was right nearby and caught the blast of glitter. Its eyes blaze red with anger. "Help me!" pleads Maavu.

Once the breathdrinker becomes visible, the rioters in a 30-foot radius around speaker's dais flee in terror.

Breathdrinker--
Free: Gaze attack on those in front of it--Zaichus, Magnus and Maavu. All three make their Will saves.
Full attack, hits Maavu once for 6 hp.
Free: Turn invisible again.

Maavu: 5' step, cast Glitterdust. Breathdrinker makes Will save, but is now glittery.

Earl's ears perk up. He roars and steps up to attack the thing--and almost quails, its red eyes deterring him. He resists the urge to freeze and steps in, slashing it across the middle.

Move. Affected by the gaze attack, made Will save with a Benny. Attack w/PA on Breathdrinker, hits for 22 hp.

Richard, being Richard, tumbles behind the thing and rips a hole right in its middle. With a sigh, the thing dissipates.

"You're welcome. I'll send the bill," he says to the rabble-rousing mage.

Move, attack it from flank; hits, minimum damage drops it.

Despite the respite caused by the appearance of a monster, a riot remains in play around the stage. Magnus takes a minute with Krewis. "Give us a little time to talk with Maavu," he begs of the guard. It doesn't take much to convince Krewis; he guards the stairs while the party engage the mage.

Maavu is wracked with guilt and worry about the riot, and thinks it was largely his fault that things got so out of hand. He pointedly asks the cousins if they believe that some evil is at work within the government and if they want to help to expose and defeat this hidden evil. Maavu wants to leave town before some other enemy or law enforcer takes notice of him. Before he does, though, he invites the cousins to a meeting in Redgorge. He tells them that he has certain allies who may wish to speak with them, and that Alek Tercival should be there to answer questions as well.

18:30, Today: 4-Magnus Hope rolled 21 using 1d20+16 with rolls of 5.  Diplomacy. – 21

Zaichus, speaking quietly with Maavu, nods. "All right, that seems reasonable. Tell us more."

Maavu informs them that they must go to the Redhead Miners Inn in Redgorge and answer "mortar" to the appropriate question. Maavu imbibes his potion of gaseous form to escape the city. Not long after the riot begins, the entire town guard breaks up the primary mob and restores order around City Hall by arresting and beating many citizens, isolated pockets of rioters and looters continue to plague the city until the lord mayor himself appears on the City Hall’s balcony late in the afternoon, where he promises that taxes will nor be levied for three full months. Criers move quickly through the streets to spread the word, and by evening the chaos has ended. Patrols of the town watch (sans half-orcs) again patrol the streets, but tensions remain high.

A few hours after sunset,  the City Hall bell begins to ring, warning the population of the fire. The orange glow of the flames make it easy to spot the burning building.

The cleric of Joramy wants to see the fire, so the cousins roust themselves, dress for battle and head to investigate. They find themselves outside of Minitta's Board, a cheap inn that boards any half-ore mercenaries who couldn't find space in the Town Guard Barracks. As the cousins approach Minutas Board, in the red light of the fire, they overhear whispers and screams against the half-orcs (“Go back to the hell you come from, mongrels?", "Have a taste of fire, spawn of the Unwinking Eye;" “Let's burn away the rot from your human half freaks!"). These voices, of course, come from racist and irresponsible Cauldronites who simply despise the latest tenants at Minuta’s Board. Other citizens, however, have rushed to help the half-ores fight the fire.

In front of the flaming inn, its innkeeper Pilok Minuta and a mercenary sergeant Rokewko argue. The innkeeper pulls at his hair, crying and yelling to the big half-orc. “Your thugs are demolishing my inn! Stop them!" Rokewko ignores the innkeeper, and turns away to tell his axemen to continue. Pilok grabs at Rokewko's arm in an attempt to get the sargeant's attention. Bewildered, sweaty, and visibly scorched by fire, Rokewko loses his temper and throws the innkeeper to the ground. The half-orc grabs Pdok's neck with a single hand, puts his foaming mouth at just one inch from the man's face, and yells, “You tiny idiot! You don't get it! Flame-demons inside kill us! Fire unstoppable! Blades useless!" As Pilok whines  incoherently, the half-ore puts His scimitar before the innkeeper’s face, showing its twisted and melted blade.

Magnus can easily make out the cries from help within the building.

Zaichus immediately has an idea. He pulls out a scroll and casts it. A sleet storm begins bombarding the inn, which inevitably draws out the real foes. Within a minute, three massive figures burst out of the front of the building. One of them races up to Magnus immediately, bashing him with fire; it then retreats to another corner not in the sleet storm.

FE3 moves and hits Magnus with a Spring Attack, crits for 26 fire damage. Magnus burns a Benny to avoid catching on fire. FE3 then moves 20' away.

Magnus and Zaichus are up!
