Jump in the fire!

[Niachi]

Niachi sends the xerichou 10 feet up to scout behind the tent and report back:

<Use your mental powers against the escaping one!> 

His keeps his Magic Missile hand aimed near the misfits Mephits, with 3 more missiles ready for shenanigans. 

His Detect Invisibility is still active.

[DM Bob]

Squishy squeaking from the xerichou lets you know that there is nothing it sees leaving the tent.

It does cock it's head at the larvae. Sniffs a few times and flies back to your shoulder.

[Niachi]

He bids Kaw-Rawk to keep scouting all directions.

"Huh. She escaped. Nothing detected behind the tent. Quilla, are we still observed?"

"Attilius! Our deathdealer! Can I get that branding iron?"

[AthasianLaborer]

'Muiko will cast Detect Magic, intent on looking over the two corpses (assuming both can be reached without leaving the bubble), the tent and that bejeweled stake.

[Attilius]

Attilius pulls out the dark branding iron and hands it to Niachi. Then stays on overwatch should trouble pop up...

[DM Bob]

While the corpses burn to cinder, there is no magic to detect.

But...

The red & black gem radiates magic as well as the tent.

The gem specifically enchantment & necromancy.

The pavilion tent radiates multiple schools and quite powerfully at that. You have enchantment, conjuration, alteration & abjuration involved, woven and threaded as tightly as the weave of the cloth.

The mephits dance about cackling, as if they've witnessed the funniest thing they've seen in ages. They pipe out notes from strange bronze colored whistles they wear and the larvae wiggle and dance along.

[Skrye [AC3; 48/48HP]]

- Skrye, remembering the flamed trunk and the stake, goes to check them out. She attempts to take the stake from the log by quickly trying to pull it out, at the end of the day, stake is made of wood and that's the realm of earth

[OOC: What would she have to roll to pull it out Bob?]

[DM Bob]

The stake is extremely hot metal, not wood.

[AthasianLaborer]

As Skrye approaches the stake, 'Muiko calls out "Beware friend, it is enchanted with Necromancy"

Turning his gaze upon the tent, he mumbles [Elven: "I am not sure I have ever seen a thing so enchanted as this"] before shushing the mephits and saying "Can't you keep them calm a little more quietly? This tent is deserving of greater attention!"

'Muiko turns to Quila "I doubt Hegrit will prove to be much trouble, after all, unless Aman told them of us, we know more of Hegrit than she knows of us.  This tent however, I'd wager is as valuable if not moreso than these-- uhm, things" he says as he gestures to the larvae.

"I think carefully decamping this tent for collection and study is of far greater importance than chasing some pissant who obviously is no match for us and also a far better use of our friends time" 'Muiko gestures towards Chat'cho as he speaks the last three words.

If there are no objections, 'Muiko would seek help in taking down the tent so that it could be studied after our return.

[DM Bob]

The metal stake is removed from the trunk by Skrye. The iron is red hot, almost molten. You wonder if there's less "landscape" here than just varying degrees of heat and compactness. The tari can feel the heat of the near molten stake even through your protections.

The tent will require more than one of you - at least 3 people to dismantle quickly, assuming you don't investigate within first. Discuss.

The mephits chatter a bit in a weird pidgin common.

"The efreeti will lose their shit about this!"

Much laughter.

"Yeah! They think they run everything! And Darks operating right outside the City? Once they find out some berks came here and took 'em out they'll be embarrassed as all Hells!"

"Ha! I see what you did there, Killansanderthum! All Hells!"

*SNORT!*

"Bound no more... should we thank these fools? Fuel has no reason to be here."

"I wonder if theys gots any of that Prime tobac?"

"Ooo! I bet they have good stuff to burn."

The one looks to Niachi.

"Shadow tainted! Have you any burn-y smellies on you?"

[AthasianLaborer]

'Muiko will part the tent opening enough to peer inside, if it isn't obviously occupied, he'll poke his head in to take a look around with Detect Magic.

He'll report whatever he sees to the party and if nothing else needs attention he turns to the party, obviously giddy "Attilius, [Elven: Stabby bug]!" he gestures to Attilius and Son of Kri-kcht "come, show me those hands are as skilled in acts of peace as they are in acts of combat". 


'Muiko will then move to take the tent down as quickly as possible accepting help from any party members.

[DM Bob]

The whole of it radiates magic, as well as all the sundry items within.

Otherwise it does smell of recent hag sex and opiate incenses.

[Attilius]

The giant reluctantly stows his gouge and shield while helping break down the tent as fast as possible. Always keeping one eye on the burning forest and sky

[Skrye [AC3; 48/48HP]]

- Skrye waits for a few rounds for the metal piece to cool down, without loosing the sense of hearing, in case any other invisible entity decides to take them by surprise,but the noise of the tent been folded and all the noise around makes it impossible

[OOC: Detect noise, unsuccessful, 75% out of 60%]

[AthasianLaborer]

'Muiko pays close attention to who helps and how hesitant they are to provide the help.

He'll also cast Unseen Servant to accelerate breaking down the tent.
