Underground Revolution

The city of Westcrown is dying. Since being stripped of its station as the capital of Cheliax, the wealth and prestige of the city has gradually slipped away, leaving the desperate people to fend for themselves in a city beset by criminals, a corrupt nobility, and a shadowy curse. Can you fight back against champions of both the law and the criminal world?

With both Hellkights down in his area, Kyle switches targets to assist Janiven. He approaches from the rear, swinging his sickle. The blade nicks the armor of the foe but can not seem to penetrate as the man dodges away from the feints of Janiven's sword. The feints are temporary, though. She feints to the left, then with an overhead sweep, comes down to the right, connecting solidly with the Hellknight's chest. The blade bites deep into the side of his chest and the knight falls instantly.
Kyle-ATTACK:7+2(flank)=9vs16(miss);Janiven-16vs16(Hit);D:-7
On the opposite side of the room Viraj does not have any better luck than Kyle. He lashes out in a fury of fists but connects with nothing as the Hellknight shakes off the last attack. He reaches for his dropped weapon, barely avoiding the monk's blows. Unknowingly being the last of his comrades to still stand the last hellknight grabs his sword and swings in an upward motion at the monk. He misses, overbalanced by the reach for the weapon.
Viraj-15vs16 (Miss: Stunned only lasts until the beginning of your turn), 9vs16 (Miss);HK3-13vs18(miss)
Trying to take advantage of the overbalanced Armiger, Emere attempts to slash at the man. As he swings his sword, he times the stumbles perfectly. The Armiger practically falls into the sword's stroke, ending his life.

With the combat over, and no worse for wear, Janiven recognizes this area. "We are here."She points towards the southern tunnel,"That way and to the door." She heads towards the south opening, impatiently waiting for the rest of you to follow.

"Everyone's still alive?" He obviously doesn't mean the Hellknights, nodding as he can see that is the case he pauses a moment. "Wait. This one had a potion of healing, the others might as well. Check them quickly and let's be on our way." He loots one of the corpses of the Hellknights, looking for a potion and coins, then moving along.

As is his way, Kyle quickly checks each of the death knights, granting a merciful death to any who are still alive, and offering a prayer for the quick passage of each of their souls.

Then, once that task is completed, he walks over to Janiven. "A moment please," he says, placing a hand on her shoulder. Then he holds up the silver spiral hanging around his neck and speaks a prayer to his goddess. "Lady of Graves, we ask you to withhold your final blessing from us once more, not because we fear it, but because we have tasks to do before our service to you ends." As the priest speaks, a blue-white glow emanates from the holy symbol of Pharasma he holds, and increases until it surrounds Kyle and Janiven. Immediately, the wounds the two have taken begin to heal as the power of Pharasma courses through them.

As Fellan and Viraj scour the bodies around them, Kyle goes to work helping the wounded. His Holy Symbol glows with a feint, bluish light at first. It gradually intensifies to what appears to be a glowing globe around his hand. It explodes in a silent wave of insubstantial energy, it washes over the group. Wounds fade, bruises turn their original skin color, and pains ease. "Thank you, Kyle" Janiven says, "But we must continue."
Fellan: Full
Janiven: Full
Emere: Full
Kyle: Full
Viraj: Full
Fellan and Viraj find what they were looking for in the bodies. The small vials, tucked away in the folds of the Hellkight's belts, hold the life potions. Among the belongings can also be found 30 pieces of gold between the four. With the final scavenging finished, you continue to follow an anxious Janiven through the south passage. Not 15 feet down the passage ends in a door, which Janiven opens easily. As the party begins to pass through the door, she points upwards. Following the wall up with your eyes, you see a sturdy iron rung ladder bolted into the wall, leading to a hatch above. She begins climbing the wall ladder, "This way. We are near our safe-house." Opening the hatch, it opens to the streets above. The fresher air rushing down through the hole is a relief to the dank, sewage ridden air of the tunnels. You clamber out of the hole, entering a wide alleyway. When you all are out, Morosino included, she approaches a building wall to the north and gives it a series of knocks that seem to be a code of some sort. A bit later, an unseen crack appears in the wall. A door begins to open as Janiven begins to smile. "It is good to be back home." she says, beckoning you as she walks through the opening.
Congrats! You are completed with Stage 1! Advance yourselves to LEVEL 2! I will attempt to contact Chanur and tell him we are ready for his entrance.

Fellan is the last out of the passage, watching for signs they are being followed. Then he climbs up into the narrow ally, "That went surprisingly well." The man's voice remains gruff and gravely even in his pleased state. He tucks a few of the looted potions into his pouch and glances around for more signs of trouble.

"What do you think Kyle? Should we abandon these fools or stick with them a little longer. The Hellknights know of them, it can't be good to associate with them."

"We've run the risk of contacting then already," the priest replies. "And having risked our lives and reached a point of relative safety, I think we ought to at least hear them out. We can always go our separate ways if we don't like what they have to say."

Fellan nods, "Good point. Let's get inside before someone sees us then." The former Inquisitor heads into the building after the woman, one last furitive glance around the street to see if anyone's spotted them yet, then he ducks indoors.

These must be the people his master had told him about Viraj thinks to himself. Anyways this is a good thing since now they are in safety from the Hell Knights. He nods in greeting to their hosts and enters swiftly and silently.
