The smell of brimstone, undercut by the sweet succulence of charred flesh, filled the air as Tana raised her hand.

"Eldranis."

She uttered, her already cracked and dry voice now brimming with power as the twinned bolts of screaming red energy tore themselves free of the sizzling glyph at her palm.  They streaked through the open door, catching the Reaver who had struck at the bear in the shoulder.  One struck her mail and exploded in a shower of sparks, but the other found purchase in flesh and in bone.

Magrak moves quickly into the building, tucking himself into a corner when he realizes that he won't be able to reach the enemies.  He scans his surroundings. "Festive room."

One of Tana's blasts of power catches one of the nearby women, burning through her thin armor.

Behind, the woman behind the desk disappears.

Makari tried to see past the bulk of the bear at one of the enemies. He uttered the same incantation and gesture he'd been doing a lot of today thus far, and two more green fire-like beams sailed past the bear and in to the room. He then stepped back a bit to not be in direct sight of the two enemies.

Morg picks up the sword, sheathes his own (he doesn't know about the invisible person), and says "Your scabbards and other weapons also. If you don't resist, you'll not be harmed further."

He walks over to the dead woman, removes all her weapons and scabbards, and asks "Are there any prisoners here?
 Where's the magic sword kept that recently arrived?
  Where's Shatterkeel?
   Where's the genasi pirate Quandehil?"

Edit: changes with 1 of the reavers being dead.

Catching his breath, Durik lowers his hammer and shield and waits for the Reavers reaction to Morg.

The remaining woman thrusts her odd shell-shaped shield at Morg, then shrugs at his mention of any additional weapons.

Magdrak walks around, poking the air with his battleaxe.  "There was someone else here when I came in.  Invisible now."

Still outside the room the bear does something even more odd than ever before, it crouches its front limbs down a bit to lower and change the angle of its neck at which point a small wooden barrel with a lever on the side becomes visible.  Tapping the lever on the side with one impressively gentle paw a few times causes small perfectly round berries to roll out of the other end onto the ground.

Licking up the berries one at a time the bear mostly waits by the door, occasionally sniffing the air.

Makari shook his head at the strange bear. He looked around slowly while Morg attempted to talk with one, or at least get information out of them. He navigated around the bear and stepped inside the building to get a better look around and see if there was anyone else lying in wait, or anything interesting.

23:31, Today: Secret Roll: Makari rolled 24 using 1d20+6 with rolls of 18.  Perception.

At Mag's mention of someone becoming invisible, Morg moves to the southwestern stairs, trying to block any invisible people from ascending. "Invisible person, we are not here to kill or rob you. We're not.. well I'm not a member of any of the cults in the valley."

He motions with his head over to the papers on the table to the "wizards".

"The dwarves are taking back the Sumber hills, and traders are welcome here."

"If you're Quandehil," he says, looking at the crustaceans on the shields, "there may be a place for you on the river if you stop pirating."

"What sword? And how do you know the name 'Shatterkeel'?" the woman replies.

---

There is no sign of the invisible person in the room.

This message was last edited by the GM at 19:28, Thu 06 Aug 2020.

"We're here to retrieve a magic sword, and making the wizards cast spells to find it will just aggravate them." Morg says.

"As for Shatterkeel, my friend Zora was looking for him - I can't remember his first name, just the very evocative last name."

Makari didn't know about an invisible person. He also had no way to magically suss one out or anything. But he sometimes had good senses and awareness. He let Morg continue to speak out as if someone was there.

His eyes narrowed and he moved around the desk at the west end of the room to get a closer look at what he had seen.

Tana stayed in the door, so that no invisible entity might slip past without pushing past her.  She was well versed in such tricks, and thus knew how to combat them.

Durik backs himself up against a wall..preferably a corner.

Content to wait outside the door the bear continues to lick the berries off the ground one at a time, far, far slower than should be possible or even reasonable if it were doing so for the purpose of food.  In that same period of time all the bleeding wounds have stopped leaking, some of the lines in the fur they describe even seem to be shrinking.

"Gar Shatterkeel," the woman sneers at Morg. "An I don't bloody well know anything about no magic sword. Plenty of booty come through this office an' down to the Temple. If yer lookin' for somethin' maybe it'll be on Grimjaw's ledgers."

---

Makari sees a messy pile of papers and a few ink quills scattered about.

Makari frowned and barely restrained himself from making a small 'hmm' sort of noise. His eyes narrowed and he began to looked around more carefully and more fully, investigating to see if he could find the source of the liquid, or a wet invisible person.

"Are these Grimjaw's ledgers?" Morg says, pointing to the papers on the desk. "Or thru there?", pointing to the western doors.

"And where is Gah Shatterkeel?"

"Aye, those are Grimjaw's ledgers. An' how should I know where Shatterkeel is, though like as not he's in the Temple," the woman replies, looking down briefly at her mention of the "temple."
