Paultin rolled his eyes. This way was a lot faster to get the answers they wanted.
He couldn’t see anyone though. She had said someone was in the bush and he had kicked it. Why were people playing hard to get here?
He rolled his eyes once more. “You’re protecting me from a bush?”
The shot that came out of said bush made him shut up, however.
INITIATIVE: d20 + 2 ( 2 + 2 ) = 4
One, two, three--three humanoids wrapped in tattered rags burst from the trees, two swordsmen charging at Sefris and Paultin, while the archer attempted to shoot Sefris with another bolt.
Cultist 1: d20 + prof. + DEX = miss against Sefris
Cultist 2: d20 + prof. + DEX = miss against Paultin
Cultist 3: d20 + prof. + DEX = miss against Sefris
Despite their supposed surprise attack, the archer missed while trying not to hit his allies, and Sefris blocked a slash with a scimitar with her shield. The cultist who aimed at Paultin... whiffed hard and ran into a tree. Genius.
“Dawnflower scum!” A new voice joined them, and two more figures appeared clearly attempting to corner the two. Sefris narrowed her eyes and groaned.
“Goddammit! They’re Rovagug cultists!”
“Don’t speak Its name, filth!” The two fanatics began to move their hands and mutter...
Cultist Fanatic 1: Sacred Flame: DEX Save
DEX save: d20 + 1 (14 + 1) = 15 = success
Divine light lit up near Sefris, but she jumped out of the flames’ way.
Cultist Fanatic 2: Spiritual Weapon
--Attack: d20 + prof. + WIS = miss against Sefris
A glowing scimitar appeared next to Paultin and Sefris, but once more, Sefris’ shield went up.
“Dammit--shit! Paultin, we need to get back! You can run--I’m the one they want dead! I just--I need to get space from them!”
She placed a hand on Paultin’s arm for a brief moment, and an aura of protection washed over him.
