Lareth Moathouse capture

Line em up. On their knees. If any of them move, gank em!
Sooo, it's show time.
Do you REALLY think that all this would end well?
Did you IMAGINE finding my base to freely loot and pillage this moathouse and return as hero's to Hommlet? (Laughs)
What ever you thought, what ever you believe, you will find very soon how sadly you were mistaken.
Let's see what kind of adventurers we have here. (pokes weapons with the toe of a boot.)

Comments to each on the weapons and laughs.
Dumps backpacks out examining its contents and comments

This is what is going to happen.
You, will be enslaved.
Tell us everything about what you know of the moathouse and what they know of my associates.
You WILL tell me everything.
These friends of yours, will be taken to the crypt. I will have great use for this...meat.

You, my friend, will be taken to the Fane of the Eye. To the Temple. There, the Elemental prophets will break your mind. Then, you will be put under the knife on the altar to our great Elder Elemental God. To be sacrificed to their dark gods. But it doesn't end there. Nooo, not by a long shot. The Supreme Commander will take you to join the ranks of the undead.

Recruitment

The Cult of the Elder Elemental God have hateful principle that take into a primary form in the world. The first is corruption. Elemental Evil tempts the broken, the wronged, and the wicked with the power to strike back. It represents the worm in the apple, a hidden corruption that grows stronger over time as the natural order decays. We work as a network cult, the Viscounty Lords are debased, and the fundamental laws governing the Viscounty begin to weaken. You will be able to strike back at the greedy, malicious, wrong doing Lords. Revenge will be at hand for those that join the brethren. Until this world becomes an everlasting war of raging elements.

Questioning

We are supposed to turn any captives over to the Hangmen for questioning and sacrifice on the altar, but sometimes an attractive merchant, guard, or passenger catches Lareth's eye and is held back for a time as a "potential recruit" until he tires of the prisoner. Sometimes we hold a prosperous-looking captive for ransom, promising to free them once the coin arrives. We have Lubash watch them. But by that time the The Crimson Reapers or TOEE agent @luchave discovered the captive's existence and demand them for their altars-a request we dare not refuse. Commander Gattas brings the prisoners and supplies to Demien's farm then on up the High road to the hidden cabin. If he is cross with someone, he will order them to help bring the supplies to the cabin. But Gattas Void always returns alone. *shiver*

What is the Cabin in the Woods

It is a log 55. Hunting Cabin - off map just south of Nulb. Gattas Void says it is a base run by the most ruthless butcher and his pack of Hyena's and a giant Gnoll sent by the King Ga’awootarr. We are to leave the bodies in the back shed then leave as fast as we can!

Who is supreme commander?

High Priest of the Cult of the Elder Elemental God and supreme commander Hedrack 

Combat

The strong fierce leader in plate and shield yells, "Oui! This makes me sooo very happy. Saves the time of sending my men to look for you. Lucius will be pleased. See what I been telling you Lareth? Adventurers are like cockroaches. You stomp on one and a dozen more scurry out. Time to end this little game."

The warrior priest in gleaming intricate platemail, long flowing blonde hair, startling beautiful eyes and pure suel face responds with a beatific smile and sneer, "Gattas, get this over with and bring them to their knees."
The warrior names Gattas threatens your party, with a malicious evil grin "Right! How about you dogs lay down your weapons, get on your knees, and surrender. Don't bother praying to your gods, they are not out here in the fens."
The bandit leader Gattas scowls then threatens, "We can do this the easy way, or the 'very' easy way. I always say, if you find yourself in a fair fight, you didn't plan well enough."

DARKNESS: Lareth uses medallion to cast a spell.

The bright armored priest presents the medallion towards your group and chants, "Ultimum potentiae invoco Nerull donaverit dominabitur mortuorum. Ut inimicos servorum Egalgina Præcipio tibi in nomine Nisir!"
The world seems to expand with pressure. It spreads from the north. Mounting power forming a bubble then it tears. Opening a hole in the fabric of this plane. Alien force flows through this tear then closes.
I call upon the powers of the Elder Elemental God, God of Air, Chaos, Earth, Evil, Fire, Madness, Water. I invoke your domain over death to banish these servants of light!

BANE: Lareth casting

The warrior priests eyes flickered with black flame, the leaking of chaotic power. The flaming eye engraved on his steel shield shimmers as tendrils of black writhing wave of madness and chaos washes over each of you, filling the air with the sickly-sweet smell of vinegar.

Lareth in battle

Lareth the Beautiful strides forward with a throbbing stave of red tinged arcane power in on hand and drawing out a dark mace. A dark bloom of sorcery emanates from mace as he raises both to smash into you with a sneer of brutal power.

COMMAND: Lareth spell casting

"For someone within range of my magics, you are awfully arrogant. Perhaps this is some kind of depressive death wish. Fear not, once you die I'll raise you and give you something that approaches a purpose. By the power of my voice...GROVEL."

Hold Person: Lareth spell casting

Lareth sneers with eyes flickered with black flame. He gestures with hand ending with the symbol of the flaming eye in a florish he intones "Vectem ferream cellam tenens, hominem tam bene deceptam custodit, nulla evadat, janua stricta claudatur, actiones tuas desine, amplius ne movearis."
"Bar of iron holding cell, keeps a person trapped so well, no escape, a tight locked door, cease your actions, move no more"
Black tendrils leach out to wrap around your legs, arms, waist, heard..embracing you still. Those tendrils tighten around you like bars of iron and leach into your muscles taking away your control. You are unable to move not one finger of your body. But you can see what is going on in front of you.

Victory speech

I understand how you could think what I have done is irredeemable. However, my heart and my actions are utterly unclouded. They are all taken in the name of Oerth. I am the only one that can save this wretched world, bring balance back to the elementals and I'll do whatever it takes to do just that.
Darkness and death are all that remains for you here at the end... Your lands, your people, your loved ones will be little more than kindling to our elemental princes. Gods and devils rightly fear us yet you fools fight on to the last breath... Did you really think there was any other ending?
The great Elder Elemental Eye envisions a future where the world has been consumed utterly by elemental chaos, floods, earthquakes, lava, and destructive winds destroying civilization until only the faithful survive! We will bring balance back to nature! Eradicate the nobleman plague upon the land and the gods that harbor them! I am the favored one! I will succeed!
