Fated has chain and sword. He keeps a hand on the prisoner and lays into the wounded Green Woman with two sword attacks.
Fated swings wide with his first attack, but connects with the second [3, 15] for 1d10=3hp damage.
Despite taking 27hp cumulative, the green woman is still standing. Is she really that high-level, or did she get lucky and roll well with d12 hit dice? Carcosa keeps you guessing!

Once he arrives, and is able to attack, The Shade will carry his charge into whichever green woman he can most easily do so, using his arc welder.
But, as he is charging in, if he isn't charging at her from behind, he attempts to distract her with a sudden and urgent communication that is directed only at her...
He will communicate:
**LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU!!!**
If he's coming at her from behind, then obviously he does not draw attention to his attack.
If there is nobody attacking either of the green women from behind, then he'll direct his communique at the other green woman, as well, in an attempt to distract them both.

Gunnery is last to act in Round 1. He gets 3 attacks (3rd attack at +1) because his dagger is 8 classes lower than his opponent's halberd. His dagger/axe/dagger combo opens two bloody stab-wounds [14, 3, 14] for [2d8] 14 damage, and Cultist A is slain!
At this point, her green sister is forced to check morale. [needs 7, 2d6=6]
Cultist B throws down her halberd and bursts into tears!

The defeated green woman confesses her involvement: "They... They promised me if I... if I joined with them, that my child would live forever and be a Prince of the ocean floor..."

Enjoying the new Sam Spade side of his personality, Minion kneels next to the green woman, brushes her hair back, and says "they lied honey.. they lied."

"The Deep Ones pretty much rule the sea, a thorn in my side for many years" volunteers the boatman Destroying Angel. "It is rumored that in Innsmouth they mate with human females, but I have never heard of such a practice here in Arkham."
The green woman's tears do not contradict this accusation.
Breath examines the boatman's raft. It is a small hovercraft that can carry perhaps a half dozen passengers or equivalent weight in cargo. Currently it is "parked" on the bank of the beaver pond, and it is not making any engine or mechanical noises.

"They didn't tell me what they were looking for, I swear," pleads the green woman. "They used me for my human contacts, to track down the address and hire the boatman." ["And she played me like a fiddle," mutters the bone man.] "They said the house was abandoned and it would be an easy in-and-out job."
She looks over at her slain halberd-sister and begins wailing afresh.

To the rest of the party: **We should be cautious; there are most likely more Deep Ones involved in this operation. And they'll want to know what happened to their friends.**
To the green woman (including everyone else): **What were the rolls of the four with you in our basement? Where do they operate out of and how many more are involved?**
