Xp to come, you may discuss what you do after the creature fled.

Breach uses his 2 cross class ranks in knowledge(architecture/engineering) to assess the temple foundation to see if there’s a way to destabilize it with minimal effort.

Define minimal effort?
There is no lynch pin or keystone that can be removed and cause it to collapse.

Experience, with some personal xp to come via message:
Arkah - for uncomfortable motherly references - 600
Breach - for starting the fight when it appeared it may not happen - 600
Cyrus - for making it back to the group - 600
Horatio - for effective use of a reach weapon - 600
Iwakasi - for unique combat abilities - 600
Oz - for preaching the good word of Quan Yin - 600
Taye - for steadfastly holding to the hide and psionic blast method - 600

It is now evening, just between 7 and 8.
The camp is quiet and empty except for you and the sound of Breach breaking things.
There are two to three hours of light left, although its cloudy and getting dim.

Kes and five of the Horarians have been moved to huts and are resting.
Where do you place the dead one?

Is it traditional among Horarians to be buried? If so, Oz will offer to eulogize the dead and help bury him. If there's a particular place they prefer to be buried, we can go there. I ask the other mercenaries once they awaken if they know if a spot.

Tradition varies based on area. Some buried at sea, some in the ground, some in tombs. Cremation not typically used.
The mercs that can speak have and idea or opinion on it.

An hour of work or less. I scavenge the area for tools that could help, like pry bars or sledgehammers. Not looking to obliterate the foundation, but rather make it unusable for bearing the load of a structure without making significant repairs.

There are tools in the work pens, and oxen there, so in a hour you can do some damage and make any repairs a pain for them to complete.
In the hour, Ohen sits off to the side and writes some things down and stays out of the way unless asked.

Okay, I'll do whatever is traditional for this particular individual based on the thought of the other Horarians he was with.

Cyrus explores the structure for a few minutes. After Breach has collected his tools: “Rather than waste time trying to break or tear down what are still just unconsecrated rocks, perhaps we can offer the structure to the villagers as a new shrine of Quan Yin? Or a hospital? Or a small keep to better defend them? We do still have to rescue the captives.â€

This is a fantastic idea. Paster, are you able to concecrate this? This isn't something I'll ever be able to do.
-
These people will not defend this place when the cultists return to reclaim it. If I cannot stop them I will at least make it difficult for them.
Smashy smashy.

It was pecular that he took more offense to you then he did us. Seems he sees dedestroyt as competition, or a rival.

At the moment, I am unable to officially consecrate this area, but I can feel the call of Quan Yin's blessings brewing within me. Perhaps after a bit more time of quiet contemplation and assistance to the villagers in need, I'll be able to conduct those blessing rituals. What I do know is that I'll need holy water and silver dust to complete the process. I've seen Meril perform this before.

Can we use gold dust? It's better then silver right? so that should work. We can just scrape it off that former symbol of Lizan! Holy water you can make also right?

Ok then.
Cyrus asks the conscious merc where they keep their healing potions. Surely at a construction project such as this there have been injuries.
I’m also trying to figure out the symbol.
-

No potions he knows of, but the valuables were taken to the mine.

How about just a first aid kit or station.

I ask Oz: “Will you be able to aid us with your healing talents this evening? I am not enthusiastic about going to the mine until we are mostly recovered, but if you exhaust all of your healing in the morning we would have to wait another whole day to make our rescue attempt.â€
-

One of the huts has a basic kit. Ohen also appears able to patch up wounds.

Sadly, I've requested all I can of Quan Yin for today. I won't be able to prepare more blessings until I get a full nights rest.
-
Iwakasi collects all of the spears he can find from the unconscious/dead mercs and in the huts, as well as any other ranged weapon.
"As Cyrus has amply explained, we were woefully unprepared to deal with that flying creature. We have brought peace to the village tonight, but with Blue still out there, it likely won't last. We need to better prepare for our next encounter with it. The net was a good idea, and is probably what saved us from dying at its hands today. We should have someone go back to the village and gather a few more of them. Arkah and Breach, gather some of the larger throwable stones."
"I know we are all hurting. I don't think we can continue on to the mines tonight. Not in our condition. We can rest here for the evening. Tay can scout the path to the mines and come back with any intel he can gather. Oz, can you do what you can to tend our wounds tonight (put us under your care). Tomorrow we should move on to the mines. The mercenaries pose us almost no threat. The only concern is if Blue comes back. We should keep watch tonight, in pairs, just to be safe."
-
Agreed
-
Oz, can you do what you can to tend our wounds tonight (put us under your care).
I will make sure to place all the wounded under my care.
-
Arkah and Breach, gather some of the larger throwable stones.
Breach ignores this request and remains focused on his demolition project.

In my head, Arka will now sound exactly like Marge.

That's tremendous. We need a slew of audio cuts that she can use.

Would consecrating an area fall under the new ritual rules?

They likely would, but Oz couldn't do it even if they are based on level and materials.

Yeah, 2nd level spell that I don't have access to yet.

Is your plan to remain at the camp?
Do you send word to the villagers?

Iwakasi suggests we stay. it is a little more defensible than the village.
We send Oz back to tell them that Blue has been driven off for now and tomorrow we go to rescue the villagers from the mines.

Agreed. The mine is probably the best place for us to find the cultist. We are not done here until it has been defeated.
-
Do you want Oz to go tonight or in the morning?
Anyone go with him?
Note that I know Oz had not agreed yet.

I'll be happy to go back and tell them, but would prefer some company as I'm completely defenseless at the moment.
-
I will go with you. Perhaps I can persuade someone who knows the layout of the mine to come back with us.

Akra will happily go with him

I agree to go up and scout ahead.

Oz, Akra, and Cyrus....when you do leave?
It is around 8pm at this point.

The sooner the better so Blue has less time to recover and plan.
-
So for the evening before you rest at the camp (I assume in the huts):
- Akra, Cyrus and Oz head to the beach.
- Taye scouts the mine
- Breach destroys the temple
- Horatio and Iwasaki guard the camp. Ohen is with you as well, and Kes is recovering there.

Cyrus starts walking
-
I will leave shortly after the battle so I can scout ahead and then come back and rest with everyone

Are you in mental communication with anyone when you leave?
-
Yes I am always in communication with Oz unless I break my psionic focus.
-
So you split into the three groups.
-
This seems like a good time to interrogate our captives while the Yinnites aren’t around to restrict technique options.
-
I report back with the following information: The mine is several hours away moving with the group. When returning with the stone it could take as much as a day.
There are several huts in a valley and a spot on the far hillside where it appears the men have been digging. I could not find a cave. The men are gathered in an outside of the hut, with guard watching. I counted five guards, armed the same way the others were. I did not see Zersisk. It appears the slaves are crowded in the huts but I couldn't get a good count of how many.

Breach will confirm Taye’s intel with our prisoners using threats/acts of violence.

Ozmodius isn't there to scold you, but if he was, it would go a little something like this...

When you say report back, did you mean mentally to Oz, of physically back to those at the camp?
-
I feel like the low level group splitting up 3 times, is just a little bit worse then voldamort splitting his soul 7 times.

Taye, Horatio, and Iwasaki; do you do anything as Breach begins to interrogate? Also, Breach, do you speak Horarian?
-
Also, Breach, do you speak Horarian?
I do not. I will recruit Iwasaki to help if necessary.

Iwakasi agrees and has Breach help move all the prisoners, who were tied up, and secure them to individual beds. The beds will be next to each other in a row and prop up one side so that the beds are at an angle. Once they are tied to beds in position. He will say the following.
In Horarian
“Is everyone comfortable? Good. My large hairy friend here has a few questions he would like to ask. Now, he does not speak our language so I will act as translator. I advise you to answer his questions truthfully. He has a temper. We do not wish to harm you further, but we are here to bring peace to the village. And we will have peace, one way or another.â€
To Breach: “What is your first question.â€
