He discovers that they are importing arms, and more importantly, special forces advisers from foreign nations. Things reach a literal boiling point when a warehouse of gasoline drums is set on fire, and now we will see who will live and who will die

>>72779>>72780With a single punch, the griffin is impaled through the chest, and stops breathing
>>72780Cuz I charged at him. Normal modifier is +10 and charge grants +2 and takes AC -2
>>72781Iron is somewhat annoyed by this prospect. "Damn, I punched him too hard. I wanted him alive."
>>72781>>72782The sorcerer takes a small step away from Iron. "I-is it clear in there now?"
>>72782He needs like 20 feet to charge, and you don't have that here. I guess he would be alive if the spikes were not used, though he would still not be conscious
>>72783Yes
[1d20 = 5]>>72783Iron scouts the area, looking for some more enemies.
>>72785He does not see anything threatening in the room
>>72787On to the next room opposite this one. Any enemies should surender if they value their lives because even if we aren't trying to kill them, we destroy them.
>>72788>>72789>>72790When they open the next room, they see another room with beds in it. This one houses 10 suitcases
I call out to Blue Skies. "This room may interest you. Come see this."
>>72791"Thae place is empty, it seems."
>>72793"We don't know what the suitcases have though. It could be clothes, but it could be documents."
>>72792She comes over "Well, would you look at this"
>>72793"Hardly"
>>72796"Enemy-wise, it is." Iron looks at Skies. "Found anything of Redclaw?"
>>72797"Yes, I found this. Unless you'd rather have a cigar or a hat, or a bandana. But it looks like this is what Redclaw brought with him to remind him of his home"
She shoes him a cut wooden animal
"This is a carving of a water buffalo. A very strong animal, used to pull plows and carry rice. The farmers of that region would have used them extensively. Maybe he worked with them as a chick, I can't say. But to him it probably symbolized the farmers, which he no doubt identified himself with."
>>72795"Do you have some sort of magic detection?"
>>72798Iron takes the animal. "Thank you, Skies. I will remember his strength in combat, even when I did not challenge him directly." Iron turns to the suitcases. "He has a horn on his head, so he should have."
>>72798"I believe so. What do you need?"
>>72800"I want to find the changeling's suitcase. She no doubt guarded it magic. It will produce a signature that you could detect"
[1d20+3 = 19]
"I see. And one of these might be it then?" I cast Detect Magic.
>>72802And sure enough, it shows a number of magical signatures in the area. A spell on the threshold of the door, a magical signature from Blue Skies herself, and three separate magical signatures from the third suitcase on the right in the set
[1d20+3 = 17]>>72803"Well... I'm picking up that the door is magic, and three things of magical quality in that suitcase there." I point out the third suitcase on the right. "I'm guessing that the magic on the door is something to worry about though. Who puts magic on a door?"
>>72804You know I'm tired when I'm leaving the dice up again
>>72804"Someone who wants to set an alarm"
>>72805You can take it as a disarm magic if you want.
>>72806"I suppose her briefcase is also an alarm?"
>>72808"Oh no, There are spells if you want to keep somepony from reading something. Or opening a lock"
>>72806"Well, we already triggered it now that the door is open. As long as it doesn't try and shoot me or spill my drink, I'm fine."
>>72809"And I don't suppose there is a way around that?"
>>72810"For a lock? The lock itself cannot be disarmed by any means but magic. The suitcase itself, however, is breakable. As for the spells on the documents, they will need a dispel magic spell, but that can wait"
>>72811"In that case, we should just take the case with us."
>>72813"While you take that and check the other cases for anything of use, I'll go for the next door."
I motion Iron to follow.
>>72814I think we lost Iron. This will probably take until tomorrow
[1d20+2 = 7][1d20 = 14][1d20 = 11]>>72818>>72817When she moves through the door, an alarm like sound can be heard, roughly coinciding with the opening of the door to two hostile griffons. Roll for initiative
[1d20 = 18]>>72819Rolling.
>>72820We didn't disarm the alarm spell when Blue Skies entered the door behind us.
>>72820>>72821Looks like the initiative is Spark, Griffin, Iron, Griffin, and Blue, who was over at the other door
>>72821>>72822Try to kick the griffon before me. I still have low HP
[1d20 = 8]>>72823Same here. I got 7 hit points left.
>>72822Using rifle as a club again. Hopefully staring death in the face makes me swing harder. I attack the one closes to Iron.
[1d20+2 = 20]>>72824>>72823Ooh.... It appears the rifle misses
A griffin attacks Iron with a knife
[1d4+1 = 3]>>72823>>72827The knife goes through Iron's hide and pierces flesh. Now it's Iron's turn
>>72829Iron punches nonlethally at the griffon whose turn has not started yet, placing +5 to damage through power attack.
