The Elf arches an eyebrow. "In that case, I will give you one chance. Allow us to erase your memory of this place and seek us out no longer. Otherwise," she says, eyes narrowed. "We will kill you."

Unable to gleam anything from the woman's thoughts, Daos instead asks, "And just how would you erase our memories?"

"I have several scrolls of Modify Memory saved specifically for such a task," the Elf answers. Her mind is calm and certain, with not a wave of disturbance on the surface. Thoughts of her casting the spell flicker through her.

Caelynn didn't know anything about magic. "I would much rather find the children," she admits to Daos.

"I have heard of another organization that is known to use magic to erase memories," Daos remarks. "Are you affiliated with the Night's Breath?" he asks the woman, carefully monitoring her reaction and her thoughts to that question.

The Elf instantly glares at Daos when he mentions the Night's Breath, her mind a sea of anger and wrath. "It seems you know more than you let on," she hisses. "Kill them." Out of the shadows, three dagger-wielding assassins jump into attack position. Meine and Valerie draw their weapons and prepare for battle, while Tympany gets her spellcasting implements out.

"You are being deceived," Daos warns them. "Whatever the Night's Breath promised you, they are as much a threat to you as to the rest of us. They seek to take down the barriers."

Caelynn pulls out her bow, and fires an arrow at the first attacker.

One of the assassins, before Daos even has a chance to speak, jumps at him and strikes him with two precise blows of her shortsword, drawing blood. Tympany mutters an incantation, and shimmering translucent armor appears on her body--and a magical aura in the shape of a bubble forms around her. Meine slashes at the woman who attacked Daos, but she effortlessly dodges and cuts Meine's shield from her arm, eliciting a curse. Caelynn fires an arrow at another spy and hits her mark as Daos calls out to the Elven woman, who looks confused.
"The Night's Breath have no such plans," she says, though her voice betrays her lack of confidence. She casts a spell, and a shimmering, fascinating pattern appears above the fray. Caelynn, Daos and Tympany are able to resist its allure, but they find that Meine, and Valerie are completely entranced--and so are the assassins. The Elf sighs and shakes her head.
"I can deal with the three of you myself," she says, preparing another spell in her hands. However, Daos hurls a blast of snowballs at two of the spies, waking them from their stupor. They rush with their swords at Tympany, but her armor blocks their assault.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Spy 2 attacks Daos with her shortsword, hitting twice for 8 and 7 piercing damage. Tympany casts Mage Armor. Her AC increases to 16, and her Arcane Ward gains 9 HP. Meine attacks Spy 2 with her longsword. Critical fumble! She drops her Shield. Caelynn attacks Spy 1 with her Shortbow. She hits for 6 piercing damage. The Elf Mage casts Hypnotic Pattern. Daos, Meine, Valerie, and the Spies fail their Wisdom Saves and are Charmed and Incapacitated. Daos casts Snowball Swarm. Spies 1 and 3 fail their Dex Saves and take 13 cold damage. They are no longer Charmed and Incapacitated. Spies 1 and 3 attack Tympany, both missing.

"I speak the truth," Daos states firmly. "By aiding them, you are dooming yourselves, as well as everyone else." He launches into another spell.

While Daos is dealing with the spies, Caelynn focuses on the elf mage with her bow.

"Why would the Night's Breath even want to destroy the Barrier?" demands the Elf, as Tympany hits one of the assassins next to her with a bubble of acid. Caelynn hits her with a well-placed arrow, but her concentration does not falter, and Meine and the last assassin remain entranced. In response, she raises her hand and fires a bolt of flame at Daos, injuring him badly. Despite this, he has enough strength to cast a spell on one of the spies, putting him to sleep. The other dashes over to Daos and stabs him, bringing him to the ground.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Spy 2 is incapacitated. Tympany casts Acid Splash on Spies 1 and 3. Spy 1 fails his Dex Save and takes 2 acid damage. Meine is incapaciated. Caelynn attacks the Elf Mage with her bow. She hits for 8 piercing damage. She passes her Concentration check. The Elf Mage casts Fire Bolt on Daos. She hits for 12 fire damage. Daos casts Sleep on Spies 1 and 3. Spy 1 falls asleep. Spy 1 is asleep. Spy 3 attacks Daos with his shortsword. He hits for 5 damage. Daos falls!

Daos doesn't answer the question, on account that he is now dying.

"Because the Night's Breath is working with Ozymandias," Caelynn yells back to the mage as she knocks another arrow and fires at her. "You are all being fooled. Ozymandias wants to be free, and he is using you guys to do it."

"Ozymandias died hundreds of years ago," the Elf argues. "Even if he were alive and able to contact the Night's Breath, why would the Mistress possibly accept his mission?" As she says this, Tympany runs over to Daos. She quickly bandages up his wounds, leaving an opening for the remaining assassin to attack her. However, his sword bounces off her magic armor. Caelynn fires an arrow at the Elf, who quickly summons her own magical armor in response. The assassin attacks Tympany again, but her armor and ward protect her from harm.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Spy 2 is incapacitated. Tympany moves to Daos, triggering an opportunity attack from Spy 3, who misses. She tries to stabilize Daos, succeeding. Meine is incapacitated. Caelynn attacks the Elf Mage with her shortbow, missing. The Elf Mage casts Mage Armor on herself. Her AC increases to 16. Daos is unconscious. Spy 1 is asleep. Spy 3 attacks Tympany with his shortsword. He misses and hits for 6 piercing damage, applied to the Arcane Ward.
