The front room of the main building looks like a luxurious living area here. There are couches, a fine carpet, and doors to the left, right, and ahead. Mingzhu converts Enthrall to Cure moderate Wounds and heals Kastelli with it. Her wounds heal about ½ way. Kastelli squeaks with pleasure and says, “Thanks.”
Mingzhu nods and casts Shield of Faith on herself, saying, “I have anti magic spells I can use this battle if anyone wants to know. dispel magic and dismissal. I may go into defensive casting if a mage shows up.”
T’kharr looks over to her. “Got it." She then looks to see if there’s any clues as to what might be behind the doors. They are all open. It seems at a glance they are all living areas, though there is a wall ahead, and possibly some stairs going upwards in the back of the room.
Mingzhu suggests, “Maybe we should bar the door behind us?” Left and right, it's hard to tell at a glance, they see more carpets, tables, chairs, and probably a lot of corsairs moving around now that they've heard what's going on.
"May not be the wisest idea to block our own path back out." T’kharr responds.
"The other team is behind us. That won't be necessary." Jalyndae says. "On the other hand, our foes have likely heard us. We shouldn't stay here long."
"Aye, let’s move in and clear things out so we don't wind up in too much of a sandwich situation. Left room first I reckon." T’kharr intones as she moves to the door on the left. There are a bunch of buccaneers in that room, and they are not terribly happy to see the group. As the group clears the door the Corsairs attack them.
A corsair in the lead goes after Jalyndae, razing the lupine’s side. Nor’vee another hitting him in the back with one of his bolts. Another Corsair moves in to attack Jalyndae. He completely misses the outsider as Jalyndae can raise a natural Blur effect. Silgara uses her bow putting both her arrows in soft spots. He tumbles over a moment in pain and is hurt badly. T’kharr goes after one of the wounded Corsairs but misses with her staff by an inch. Another corsair strikes out at T’kharr wounding her.
Kastelli casts Magic Missile at another knocking him back a step. Another Corsair goes after T’kharr as she’s a gnoll and most likely the heaviest fighter among the crowd. He gives her a grave stab wound with his gauche just under the lung. Jalyndae nearly tears apart one of the men on her. Somehow though he resists going down. Two more come up. One against T’kharr the other against Jalyndae but their timing is so off both seasoned veterans avoid their attacks easily.
Mingzhu casts Hold Person on the corsair that first attacked Jalyndae. He is frozen in place. Nor’vee puts three bolts into the torso of another corsair. The man is still alive but about to drop in the next few moments. The other pirate on Jalyndae tries to slice her up with his cutlass but again she is able to avoid all the strikes. T’kharr cracks her staff down on the skull of the pirate and he nearly drops dead at her feet. Silgara puts an arrow in his chest, ending him for good. Kastelli flanks one of the pirates fighting the pair up front. She thrusts both her weapons into his back. He falls dead without a word.
Jalyndae bites a Corsair, knocking him down. T’kharr immediately breaks his lead as he hits the ground. Jalyndae finishes him off with her rapier. Mingzhu goes after one of the ones left. She stuns him with a vicious tiger punch to his solar plexus. Nor’vee shoots a bolt into the last one standing against Jalyndae.
The corsair keeps attacking her even though now he is badly wounded and manages to wound her with his cutlass. T’kharr strikes out at him but misses. Silgara puts two more arrows into him but not in vital points. Kastelli casts Magic Missile on him. The bolts hit and he is finally downed. Now the single remaining pirate is being held by Mingzhu’s spell. Nor’vee rushes the frozen man putting a quarrel through his head at point blank range.
They search the room. It looks like a map room of sorts. There are charts of nearby waters, trade routes, planned heists and intercepts, seems like none of them are making any attacks in Daimyo Zuodong's holdings, but there's plenty in Kaluso's. Especially his northern heartlands. It would seem like most of their attacks are concentrated there, with a fair number still on the southern holdings, but most of the raids have been on the heartlands. From where they entered, there is another room to their right.
Mingzhu is the first to speak up. “Take the maps and plans everyone. Is anyone hurt and in need of healing?”
“Aye, grab the maps quick like and the notes or diaries you might find too.” T’kharr agrees.
Silgara takes the maps. “We won't have too long to do looting before more enemies are upon us.”
T’kharr casts Cure Light wounds on herself. Mingzhu converts Commune with Lesser Spirit and cures Jalyndae. She completely heals. Once the healing and looting is complete. T’kharr heads for the room on the right saying, “Clear out this wing real quick, then hit the other." She opens the door to find an altar of Umberlee there and several chaplains; Who definitely aren’t in the mood to see them. Mingzhu immediately goes into a defensive casting stance.
Nor’vee shoots first peppering one of the clerics with three bolts. One of the enemy casts Bless upon his group. Another casts Spiritual Weapon on himself and swings his mace at Nor’vee striking the nezumi in the chest. Nor’vee’s armor absorbs most of the blow but not all of it. Mingzhu in the back is watching all that the enemy is casting. Jalyndae charges in and almost instantly on top of one of the chaplains. She misses with her bite attack but sticks him in the belly twice with her rapier. He takes a 5-foot step back and casts magic stone back at her. they bounce off of her harmlessly.
Another cleric casts Summon Monster 2 and conjures a fiendish crab. Mingzhu finally acts casting a Dispel Magic in a 20ft radius burst. It does not dispel the bless, However the crab is dispelled but also Jalyndae’s blur effect. Silgara puts three arrows into one of the clerics killing and pinning his body to a desk. T’kharr steps in and goes after the caster of the Spiritual weapon. She gives him a good smack with her quarterstaff, but he recovers quickly. Meanwhile Mingzhu in the back continues to read the battle and what the enemy is casting.
Two of the clerics cast Summon Monster 2 calling Abyssal crabs. Nor’vee puts two bolts into one priest and 1 into another. The first dies. The second also drops. One of the crabs strikes out at Jalyndae but it’s so slow she easily dodges around it. She goes after the nearest priest. She bites and trips him. Both go down as she starts to ravage him. T’kharr takes a shot at the man. He dies quickly between the two and Jalyndae kicks out taking out yet another priest who is controlling one of the crabs. As he dies the crab suddenly disappears back to whatever plane it came from. T’kharr comments, “"Probably doesn't even taste good, what a waste of crab folks.
Mingzhu yells out, “Take on the Priests. I’ll take on the crabs.”
Kastelli take out yet another priest with a magic missile. Mingzhu casts Dismissal on the other crab. It vanishes from the room. T’kharr comments, “Ever had crab?" to Jalyndae "When it's not all demon-tainted, it's tasty stuff."
There is only one Chaplain left. Kastelli stabs him in the back severing his spinal cord. Jalyndae looks over to T'Kharr. "I don't actually need to eat, so I haven't."
"Ah, fair enough that one of your kind doesn't have to concern themselves so much with mortal matters." T’kharr smirks.

Re: She Came from the Sea: Book 2
The group finds shields, tridents, leather armor, holy symbols of Umberlee and some coins in the offering bowl. They leave everything behind. They see a room ahead and a room to their right. The room to the right looks like a central area. Ahead there are stairs going up. Ahead, the room just before the stairs has several tables and chairs. That is all they can glean from a quick glance. They do hear movement all around them.
Mingzhu asks, “does anyone need healing?” No one seems to have taken but scratches in the last fight.
T’kharr says, “Lets clear ahead and then double back, room to the right is a center stair shaft."
In the room ahead, they see tables around. There are cups around, as well as a bar. The tables have dice, cards, and some of the cups are meant to hold dice. This looks like a gaming and recreation room, and gambling. They quickly sweep for doors or hostiles. Theres a room to the right that looks like an entry hall. They don’t see an enemy in the immediate vicinity.
Mingzhu comments, “I could call a fire elemental to burn down this whole wing if you like. It should destroy the building.”
"Not a wise idea at the moment, not with us still inside, and it'd probably make it harder to get to our ultimate quarry." T’kharr says while she checks the entrance hall to the right. It seems pretty similar to where you entered from. There're a few panicking buccaneers running around, but they head to the center room.
Mingzhu shrugs, “Ok.”
"If we're trying to kill the Glabrezu, they're immune to fire. Or at least heavily resistant." Silgara says.
“That as well.” T’kharr agrees.
“I don’t know much about your western Yokai.” Mingzhu explains.
"Ahead we go then, loop back through the other wing then head upstairs." T’kharr commands.
They head right to the entry hall. There are couches, tables, carpets, lying about. Plenty of luxury. To the left goes outside. To the right is the center room. You can see some Buccaneers running up the stairs
Silgara looks over "They might be informing their leaders of our presence here." Ahead is another room.
"T’kharr, do we want to clear out the last room or go upstairs?" Mingzhu asks.
"Let’s head up if they're fleeing upstairs." T’kharr nods.
They go forward to the stairs. First, they move into the central room. There're tables on the outskirts, rugs and carpets along the flooring. A large set of stairs heads up, double parted. Looks like there's at least two ways up. It's pretty extensive. They don't see any hostiles down here, but they definitely hear movement above. T’kharr takes the lead and heads upstairs.
As they hit the last step there is quite the welcoming committee in the first room, Cutlasses, main Gauche, crossbows, and tridents drawn, and there are to Succubi there. “T’kharr immediately screams out, “Get a dismissal on the Succubi and quickly, Mingzhu.”
First to attack is a buccaneer with a heavy crossbow unloading at Silgara, who narrowly misses the mage. Silgara in turn casts Confusion on all of them. Of the crowd defending the room 2 buccaneers, a Corsair and a succubus are completely confused. One of the ones not confused advances on Jalyndae with cutlass and gauche. He puts three light cuts on her as she ducks and dodges.
There is a priest there that casts bless on their group. Another corsair advances on Jalyndae. He gives her another light cut. Kastelli goes to strike one of the corsairs trying to flank him. She gives him two deep wounds in the arm and shoulder. A Buccaneer flees the battle. The confused succubus babbles around some crazed debauchery incoherently.
Mingzhu counters the priest casting Bless on the companions. Two buccaneers shoot their crossbows at Silgara. She takes a quarrel in the knee. The succubus tries to cast a suggestion on Nor’vee however he is protected by a Protection from Evil spell and resists it. A second priest in the room heals the badly wounded corsair from the wounds Kastelli gave him. Jalyndae bites and trips a corsair. She and Kastelli then both draw blood on the man with their swords.
Nor’vee takes aim at the succubus that tried to control him, putting two bolts in her leg and side of her ribs. T’kharr smacks one of the priests in the ribs. A Corsair moves in to help the priest. He manages to stab T’kharr in the liver with his gauche and cut her across her triceps. The corsair that is confused suddenly attacks his own priest, killing the man. Another buccaneer babbles a highly off-key shanty.
Silgara puts an arrow through a corsair’s spleen. He goes down screaming, taking some time to die. The remaining priest casts Protection from Good on one of the Succubi. She becomes unconfused. The corsair still on Jalyndae goes on the offensive. He puts more light cuts on her. T’kharr screams out, “Dismiss the Succubi!” Mingzhu casts dismissal on the one she knows is not protected by spell. It suddenly disappears back to its home plane.
Kastelli tumbles across the room and manages to strike the other succubus. She manages to stab the demon but only lightly. One of the confused buccaneers manages to shoot at Silgara and graze her just below the ear. The remaining succubus sees the mage after that and casts Suggestion on her. Silgara falls under the demon’s control.
Two buccaneers shoot back at Nor’vee. They manage to graze him twice. Jalyndae goes after the corsair on her. She takes a chunk of flesh out of his bicep and trips him. She then proceeds to disembowel the man while kicking out at another nearly breaking his thigh. Nor’vee again takes aim at the remaining succubus. All three arrows go into her chest. She falls and melts into a pool of goo.
T’kharr calls out to Mingzhu, “If you can get a protection from evil on Silgara, that'd help." And tries to whack the remaining Chaplain. She breaks two of his ribs. One of the corsairs change direction and goes after the gnoll. He misses his first two strikes but puts a light wound on her face with his cutlass. Another corsair stands babbling about plunder and booty. The singing buccaneer continues to babbly his shanty terribly off key.
Silgara, under a suggestion spell casts Scorching Ray at T’kharr burning her badly. Mingzhu stops casting and goes in after the closest enemy to her. She kicks a corsair between the legs so hard any ambition for him to have children died on the spot. Two buccaneers respond to the attack by shooting at the shamaness. She turns avoiding one bolt and snaps her arm out hitting the shaft of the other deflecting it into the back wall. Jalyndae goes after a corsair on her. She trips him up and hurts him with her rapier. Mingzhu takes advantage of the opportunity taking a swing at him as he goes down, but she misses. Jalyndae follows up with two more stabs and the corsair is dead.
Nor’vee puts three quarrels into a priest. One hits him just above the ear. He falls on the spot becoming room temperature. T’kharr charges Silgara calling out, “Do you need me to dispel, Silgara?” to Mingzhu.
Mingzhu screams out, “I’m fighting at the moment!”
A buccaneer that was confused gains a moment of sense and shoots at Kastelli but misses. Silgara shoots at T’kharr putting an arrow through her shoulder. Mingzhu comes up on a buccaneer and hits him twice in the face. Teeth go flying everywhere. Kastelli stabs another buccaneer giving him a serious wound.
Two buccaneers switch weapons drawing their cutlass and main gauche in place of their crossbows. Jalyndae advances on Silgara now. She grapples and restrains the mage. “I'll hold her until the spell wears off; you can finish off the others!" Nor’vee now aims at one of the buccaneers. He puts all three quarrels into the man. The buccaneer falls dead in a pool of blood.
The only enemy left is a confused buccaneer, a confused corsair and one buccaneer that still has his wits about him. T’kharr goes after latter but in her excitement her blow falls short. The corsair babbles about buried treasure and the singing buccaneer keeps on singing adding some dancing and arm gestures to his tune. Silgara fights with Jalyndae and manages to break the grapple. Mingzhu keeps fighting the one she is on and breaks his jaw. Kastelli comes from behind and finishes him off stabbing him in the back with her short sword.
Jalyndae uses Improved Trip on Silgara, but the mage resists. Nor’vee puts three bolts into the corsair but somehow, he’s still standing. T’kharr finally uses Dispel Magic on Silgara which brings her out of the suggestion she was under. The corsair still keeps babbling with three bolts penetrating him. Meanwhile the last buccaneer tries to flee the scene. He runs past Mingzhu who tries to do a standing front kick to stop him, but she doesn’t have the strength to down him. Silgara backs her up with two shots killing him before he can escape.
Mingzhu tears after the lone corsair. She kicks him in the head and as he falls, she spins kicking him in the neck just as he hits the ground. Everyone can hear the snapping bone. His eyes close for good. She looks at her wraps, “I love these fighting wraps!” With the last of the enemy down the room goes silent a moment. One buccaneer escaped the fight.
Mingzhu asks, “does anyone need healing?” No one seems to have taken but scratches in the last fight.
T’kharr says, “Lets clear ahead and then double back, room to the right is a center stair shaft."
In the room ahead, they see tables around. There are cups around, as well as a bar. The tables have dice, cards, and some of the cups are meant to hold dice.

Re: She Came from the Sea: Book 2
Jalyndae casts Cure Light Wounds on Silgara. T’kharr grips her staff, “Aye the staff has been working out well for me, for that matter.”
Mingzhu looks up, “Who needs healing?”
"I reckon we should regroup a bit at this point though, maybe send a scout ahead?" T’kharr says.
Mingzhu more concerned on every one’s health studies them all. She converts Rebuke and heals Jalyndae. Then she converts Trance to Cure Light Wounds and heals Kastelli. Finally, she converts Speak with Animals and heals Nor’vee. She then converts Endure Elements and heals Silgara.
Looking around the room, they find it's an upstairs foyer, there's a path left, a path right, a path back-left, a path back-right, and a path forward. The path forward seems to be set with a particularly well-made door. "Path forward is probably our ultimate quarry, but we probably should have Nor'vee here check on the other rooms, no?" T’kharr comments as she heals herself a bit more.
Nor'vee squeaks, nodding, "Can check, quickly." He heads off, then returns "So, of those four rooms, one looks like a jail, found an old pirate locked up there." Squeak, "Other rooms, one looked like a tavern, one looked like a storage place, one looked like quarters. Nor'vee only took a fast look, though."
Jalyndae looks forward at the more notable door ahead. Kastelli does too. "I sense some stronger evil presences ahead." Jalyndae says.
Mingzhu frowns, “I’m getting down on spells but still have a Dispel 2 Summons and Order’s
Wrath along with Prayer and Control Water.” She then casts Protection from Elements (acid) on herself. “That was my last personal spell.”
T’kharr says, “Noted.” As she casts Resist Elements (fire) on herself. “If we are going in behind that door let me cast prayer on us.” She then casts Prayer on the group saving Mingzhu from casting hers. "If we don't have any other hostiles on us, it may be our path forward, although we'll be pretty much limited to slugging it out given that we burned up our dispels and dismissals. Unless Silgara has some stuff left on that front?"
"I've been conserving my spells, I expected I might need them for the more difficult battles." Silgara says.
"Fair" T’kharr responds.
"Also, I did cast those mage armors, and the darkvision needed for this place." Silgara says "Although the interior here is pretty well lit up."
“I have one more Dispel and can call aid.” Mingzhu informs.
T’kharr looks around. “Check the officer's mess, we can save interrogating the prisoner for later."
The officers mess has some pretty fine stuff here it looks like. Tables, games, dartboard, and what looks like a good stock of rum here. No people around though, at least for now. As they walk in T’kharr adds, “And the quarters too, make sure there isn't notes or such for us to grab"
"Do you think we have long to search? I expect whoever is behind that door might come to us if we take a while..." Silgara says as Mingzhu takes 2 bottles of rum. The strongest that she can find. Silgara smirks as she watches Mingzhu, “Now a pirate may end up going 'Why's the rum gone?' Well, who cares what they think anyways?”
"We definitely don't have long but want to make sure we don't leave anything obvious for evidence on the table even if we are forced to retreat.” T’kharr suggests.
Silgara nods "Right, let’s go then."
They head down to the quarters. It looks like they're probably officers’ quarters, given how luxurious they are. That said, they may not be the most luxurious. Kastelli starts to pick locks. She's able to get 3 of them, one of the locks remains stubbornly closed. Silgara looks around "Hrm, someone of high import lives in these four rooms, but probably not a sailor, but someone... ah..."
Mingzhu looking around says, “We may be able to find a way to get off the island here.”
While looking around they find that of the three rooms they can get into, one belongs to the Quartermaster General, one to the Master Shipwright, one to the Master Sawbones. Silgara pockets some journals. "Don't have time to go over these right now, I'll keep them stored for later."
Kastelli works on picking the lock in the last room while they wait for the other team to come. When Balan and entourage get to them that’s when they will take on the demon.
Mingzhu looks up, “Who needs healing?”
"I reckon we should regroup a bit at this point though, maybe send a scout ahead?" T’kharr says.
Mingzhu more concerned on every one’s health studies them all. She converts Rebuke and heals Jalyndae. Then she converts Trance to Cure Light Wounds and heals Kastelli. Finally, she converts Speak with Animals and heals Nor’vee. She then converts Endure Elements and heals Silgara.
Looking around the room, they find it's an upstairs foyer, there's a path left, a path right, a path back-left, a path back-right, and a path forward. The path forward seems to be set with a particularly well-made door. "Path forward is probably our ultimate quarry, but we probably should have Nor'vee here check on the other rooms, no?" T’kharr comments as she heals herself a bit more.
Nor'vee squeaks, nodding, "Can check, quickly." He heads off, then returns "So, of those four rooms, one looks like a jail, found an old pirate locked up there." Squeak, "Other rooms, one looked like a tavern, one looked like a storage place, one looked like quarters. Nor'vee only took a fast look, though."
Jalyndae looks forward at the more notable door ahead. Kastelli does too. "I sense some stronger evil presences ahead." Jalyndae says.

"Fair" T’kharr responds.
"Also, I did cast those mage armors, and the darkvision needed for this place." Silgara says "Although the interior here is pretty well lit up."
“I have one more Dispel and can call aid.” Mingzhu informs.
T’kharr looks around. “Check the officer's mess, we can save interrogating the prisoner for later."
The officers mess has some pretty fine stuff here it looks like. Tables, games, dartboard, and what looks like a good stock of rum here. No people around though, at least for now. As they walk in T’kharr adds, “And the quarters too, make sure there isn't notes or such for us to grab"
"Do you think we have long to search? I expect whoever is behind that door might come to us if we take a while..." Silgara says as Mingzhu takes 2 bottles of rum. The strongest that she can find. Silgara smirks as she watches Mingzhu, “Now a pirate may end up going 'Why's the rum gone?' Well, who cares what they think anyways?”
"We definitely don't have long but want to make sure we don't leave anything obvious for evidence on the table even if we are forced to retreat.” T’kharr suggests.
Silgara nods "Right, let’s go then."
They head down to the quarters. It looks like they're probably officers’ quarters, given how luxurious they are. That said, they may not be the most luxurious. Kastelli starts to pick locks. She's able to get 3 of them, one of the locks remains stubbornly closed. Silgara looks around "Hrm, someone of high import lives in these four rooms, but probably not a sailor, but someone... ah..."
Mingzhu looking around says, “We may be able to find a way to get off the island here.”
While looking around they find that of the three rooms they can get into, one belongs to the Quartermaster General, one to the Master Shipwright, one to the Master Sawbones. Silgara pockets some journals. "Don't have time to go over these right now, I'll keep them stored for later."
Kastelli works on picking the lock in the last room while they wait for the other team to come. When Balan and entourage get to them that’s when they will take on the demon.
