Not long after the Loyalists buckled under and Mithos decided to join the EHTC, his servant was sent with a message to the Traders, and now weeks later the Servant had returned with a new message, this one written in flowing script.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Greetings Young Knight,

We like your offer of membership and nonpublic service, but we do wish you to prove your loyalty to the Company..

To the North, surprising close to the marble castle is a Merchant, who works for us, yet recently his messages seem rushed and not detailed. Then last week they stopped all together.

We would like you to go and find out what happened to him, and help him or Terminate our deal with him if he has been turned By the CEF.

Mithos reads over the note and scoffs. "Such a rudimentary task. Surely beneath someone of my station. But if thats the only way to get them to accept me, then its the only way to get any use out of them." Disguising himself as a young sorcerer (easy enough, given that was part of his talents, and his familiar Regal's recent change was not yet widely known about the city) and leaving behind the holy symbol of Siamorphe that he used to identify himself as her Paladin to the public, he mounted Nobe and rode off, leaving Valhamya where his family's house was and heading west for Arkhein.

As Mithos arrives to the merchants house, he sees it's on fire, and a Old man is being pulled into the street by a well-muscled human with canine head, wearing the armor of the Celestrials

Mithos can smell the aura of this creature of good..

Please, please tell me thats not what I think it is... DR 10/evil (can't overcome it), SR above 16 (since it has to be advanced to be CR 6)... damn, if I have a chance against a Hound Archon, its a slim one indeed.

Well, if it is, best make the best of this. Buff: Mage Armor (scroll), Alter Self (Trog) (scroll), Bull's Strength (scroll), Shield (Wand). End Result: AC 26, Str 18.

Plan: Ride in and hit it with hit-n-run (mounted) Ray of Enfeeblements until I bypass that SR successfully. Then try my scorching rays until I run out. Then ride away, dismounted, and cast enlarged person from my scroll, then go to engage in melee, using my Halberd to trip and strike on the follow up (new stats: AC 24, str 20, attack with Halberd +10 for 2d8+7 [20/x3], trip +13 (+5str, +4feat, +4size).

I can only hope I have time to do that buffing, and that some of the spells work, because if that doesn't happen, I'm in deep, deep trouble.

Oh why oh why do you think i am evil like that... sheesh.. well lets see what your really fighting

The hound turns towards Mithos and starts to advance, But a voice from the wagon Yells out "Return to the prisoner Gregor, I will handle this one."

Mithos looks towards the cart, and sees Johnathon Deville, from the Church of Siamorphe, One of the few classmates that never really trusted him..

He steps from the wagon dressed in his Armor of the Paladin's of Siamorphe, "You have no right to be here! It is time Face punishment for your Sins Evil!"

you know he is a paladin, and it was rummored that he was a warrior of the mind, human and from what you remeber, very much a pompus a$$

Well, I've had some MQs in the past that were like that, so I've learned not to underestimate what some questlords will pit you against...

Anyway, two little notes. First, shouldn't Mithos get a disguise vs spot check to avoid being recognized? I did mention he was going in disguise earlier (incidentally, this is why I didn't post any RP with this - it'd be different if he is recognized that it would be if he isn't). And second, Mithos should be mounted on Noble (I notice the map has him as medium size, when he should be large because of this).

Anyway, basic tactics are going to be similar to those I had before. Open with Alter Self from scroll for the nice +6 natural AC. Ride around to avoid melee while buffing with the mage armor scroll and shield wand. Then, move in and hit him with Ray of Enfeeblement. We'll see where we are then.

Mithos buffs as he rides around the battle sight Buffing, as Johnathon tryes to shoot the speedy horse to even the battle field hits the horse 1 time for 6 dmg, as Mithos turns and hits him with a ray of Enfeeblement stripping him of 7 str, and putting Johnathon at Heavy encombured in his full plate armor..

Mithos Smiles as he sets up a Charge with his Halberd Striking and spearing Johnathan for 10 dmg, as Johnathan Swings and misses, Mithos Strikes again for another 10 damage as Johnathan Swings wildly,

Mithos rides around the weakened Paladin and continues to strike him with the Halberd 2 more times for 12 and 10 dmg dropping him to the ground, and never once getting hit by the wildly swinging paladin.....

Mithos stands over the Paladin's form, glad to be done with the arrogant bastard. Planting his Halberd in his form one last time for good measure, Mithos turned back to the building, scanning for signs of the Hound Archon or the merchant.

Well, I was actually probably going to do something with my scorching ray and shocking grasp spells, but this works too I guess. Thanks for running it.

once you dropped him 7 str, he had a 10 movement in full plate armour... he was a sitting target..

Mithos sees a crumpled form beside the carage, it's the merchant... he isn't dead but close to death, the Hound Archon was last seen headed to the marble Castle!
