Iggy, from a position 15 feet in the air tosses several marbles at the feet of The elf and the hobgoblin as well as the third man this side of the gate. The thin glass spheres shatter and expand into a sticky, quickly hardening glue.

Iolas

Iolas was surprised by the words of the automaton but agreed that his skills might be better suited to attending to the ruffians with the sword canes. He strolled casually towards the appearant leader that dared speak to him in such an offensive manner.

"I am obligated to warn you that I have been trained by the finest swordmen in all of Europe. If you value your lives, I highly suggest you depart this area at once. Think of your families. They will become poor and destitute when you are either dead or maimed by mu blade."

The leader of the hooligans seems unsettled by your obvious confidence. He steps back and shouts "get him." Will: 1d20+5 7
His men don't seem very keen but rush to the attack. Will: 1d20+3 10
Attack-2: 3#1d20+4! 14 7 18. DC 19 toughness save if you are hit.

The Elf nimbly steps out of the way of the glue cannister Reflex save: 1d20+7 23
He quickly inscribes a glowing symbol in the air in front of him. Iggy, make a DC 13 will save.
Elizabeth make a DC 17 will save. To start getting out of the spectral arms make a DC 15 Str check or a DC 25 escape artist.

The hobgoblin was also not caught unawares.
Reflex: 1d20+3 23
He is pacing at the edge of the spell waiting for it to drop, a low bestial noise, coming from his throat.

The human is caught by surprise as the substance hardens around him.
Reflex: 1d20+4 8
He continues shouting for help.

[Will Save: 17 Success]

Elizabeth felt the need to get closer to the Elf mage. A lot closer.

[Strength Check: 21 Two Degrees of Success]

As she pulled herself free she closed the distance to the elf, getting within melee range.

Iggy

Iggy's focused mind resists whatever intrusion the fae magics were attempting.
Iggy takes a cylindrical container in his mechanical hand and extends it down to ground level though not too near either combatant, instead, when he thumbs open the bottle's stopper a line of lightning spears from the bottle, through the hobgoblin, then to the elf. [assuming a 30 foot line can hit them both without hitting Elizabeth].

His hand then rapidly retracts to his floating form.
[Bottled Lightning, Touch-range, Area-line (targeted), +6 to hit, Autofire, DC19, lightning description
attack: 1D20+6 = [12]+6 = 18
for every 2 over target's defense +1 DC to toughness.

Before Iggy gets a chance to release his lightning.the hobgoblin/redcap who had been prowling the edge of the field of arms waiting for a target (delaying his action) takes a mighty swing at Elizabeth. Attack: 1d20+4 21
DC 21 toughness save, if you are injured make a DC 16 fortitude save vs drain strength.

Iolas

Iolas hid his surprise that the thug actually had the audacity to attack him.
Toughness: 1d20+5: 16 [1d20=11] https://orokos.com/roll/814288
"Is that the best you can do? A mere scratch!" he boasts.

Iolas makes a dazzling display of swordsmanship ending with an attempt to disarm the thug that dared harm him.
Disarm attempt with Improved Disarm feat for a +2: 1d20+8: 28 [1d20=20] Successful hit. Damage roll: 1d20+4: 17 [1d20=13]

[Reminder: if the damage is magical in nature, its effect is halved]

The redcap was successful in getting past her thick armoured hide.

Elizabeth felt her strength getting sapped away.

I was waiting for you to activate the ability. Did I miss when you did that. If so it is a dc13 drain effect instead.

As a reminder, I have an area of effect partial immunity to magic damage. As long as the character is within 30ft of me, damage effect is reduced by half. (So an effect of 6 (DC 21) would be effect 3 (DC 18)) This has no effect on magic in general. Only magical damage.

The damage is non-magical. The strength drain is magical. Elizabeth. If you don't have any immovable bonuses you are knocked back into the clawing hands.
Toughness: 2#1d20+5 19 16
The elf seems to get a weakened blast after having it pass through the habgoblin who staggers back with sparks flickering from the tips of his ears.
The elf grits his teeth and the arms thrash around with renewed vigour. Elizabeth, reflex save again.

Iolas, executing a perfect ripiste-adroit from dragon stance the thug that injured you watches mouth open as his sword disappears over the edge of the dock. You shut his mouth by ramming your pommel under his chin. His eyes glaze over for a second before he turms and staggers away. The other 2, less distracted try to hit you.
Attack: 2#1d20+2 11 20 If that hits a dc 18 toughness save. The leader is pulling a small pistol out of his pocket and manouvering for a better shot.

Victor, you were busy negotiating for some goods from the colonies with a captain you know when you hear a ruckus. Someone is blowing a whitle. There is shouting, horses neighing, sword play and possibly the crack of lightning. The captain you are chatting to hurriedly mumbles his apologies and scuttles for the door.

Victor Grey
HP: 1
CND: Fine

Victor let out a huff of annoyance at this business interruptus.
What the devil is causing that racket? he pondered.

Some kind of altercation by obviously, mostly between some dockyard gangs or some such. He considered doing the sensible, gentlemanly thing and mind his own business, but gentlemen in his line of work could be a nosy, curious bunch.

Slipping his hands into his pockets and opening his senses, the wizard made his way towards the ruckus.

Elizabeth Carolynn Erin Renwald

Condition: Strength -6, Bruise 1, Stunned


This isn't good. Elizabeth thought as her head rung like a bell. The Elf seemed satisfied at Elizabeth's predicament for a moment until a blast of lightning cooked him good. The ghostly arms began to shake Elizabeth in a rage.

[Reflex Save: 14]


Sorry Iggy. I need out of this. Elizabeth grabbed her PURSE and changed the settings to give her, and only her, immunity to magic. The thrumming of the system's anti-thamaturgic field generator weakened and began to move up to higher frequencies.

"You're assaulting Agents of the Queen!" Iggy snarls from his heightened position. "With fae magics and and an Unseelie rage monster."

Iggy unleashes a heavy-than-air spray with an alchemist's precision to mist down over the elf and hobgoblin.
Madness spray, Ranged, Area-burst, Selective, Reflex DC15, Will DC15 or 12
