*Shank swallows and swings the hammer at one of the priest's knees, and then rushes toward the other, attempting to tackle him. If the tackle succeeds, he attempts to use his hammer's pommel to hit the priest in the head and knock them unconscious.*
John
"Your sins, however great they may be, are of no concern to me," Yuuki replied dispassionately, using her mana to imbue her blade with electric energy. Anyone trying to pass her by would suffer brief paralysis before a swift execution. "Rather, you seem to have offended my employer in some manner, and he wants a message sent. As for the gods..." She looked up at the many paintings and tapestries depicting the glory of the ocean god, a near indiscernible frown appearing on her face. "Their mercy is something I have never experienced. That is why I am strong, and why I'm thankful to the gods."
Gina
You walk down the stairs Oshikuru and see 3 high elf priests on the ground looking at the kitsune in terror. They appeared to have asked her something and you hear her response. Yuuki, you and the priests also notice Oshikuru coming down the stairs.
The priests eyes only widen with more fear as they realize there are more of you. 

"W-w-we don't know what we did to deserve this, but please, let us compromise. You can take whatever you want from this monastery, we will even tell you the combination to the safe. S-s-surely that is worth more than whatever your boss is paying you? W-w-we will also leave this city, praying to the gods to never cross paths with your boss ever again. That should be good enough to let us go? R-r-right?" One of them asks in desperation while the other two eye both Yuuki and Oshikuru cautiously. 

In the front with Shank, you successfully your hammer down on one of the priest's knee with a sickening crack as he cries in agony and falls to the ground. You quickly turn and attempt to tackler the other one and successfully do so. You bring your pommel down and in one swift motion the priest is knocked unconscious. The only one remaining is the priest that begged for mercy, but after seeing you ruthlessly take down his comrades he gets up and points his hand at you. 
"You won't get away with this! Even if the law won't, the gods see all! "
A golden chain made of light appears and flies toward you and attempt to tie you up.
Karen
*Adrenaline kicks in at this point. Shank jumps to the left, pinning his back to the wall, and then he lunges at the last priest, swinging his claws directly at the man's face and hopefully hitting the eyes. If this succeeds, Shank attempts to swing his pommel into the man's nose.*

"Don't make this hard for me." *Shank has snapped into a defensive frame of mind. Although he's trying not to kill anyone, he's ready to defend himself much more now knowing that these people aren't completely defenceless.*
John
Yuuki looked back at the priest, resting her sword on her shoulder as it continued to gently arc electricity. She seemed to be in thought for a moment before she spoke. "The safe can be easily dismantled if we find a smith who doesn't ask questions, and we can take what we want anyway. You can't bargain with them. If you have something incredibly valuable that would be worth staining my reputation as a reliable worker and betraying my client for, then for your sake I suggest you mention it now. Otherwise, you can just wait here to have a word with them." She angled her katana slightly on her shoulder, allowing her to use a one-handed swing if anyone got too aggressive.
Pauline
*Oshikuru sees that the Kitsune has the situation handled, and decides to check on the Felinid. He sees two elves on the ground, and another standing up and pointing his finger at Shank with a golden chain of light*
Gina
The priests see Oshikuru leave the room and they visibly relax a little. "T-there is an artifact of Osin that is sealed away so that only devotee worshipers would be able to access it. But we would rather die than let you scoundrels touch it, and if you will be pillaging the monastery regardless..." 
The closest priest then jumps and tries to leap on Yuuki while another one quickly starts casting some sort of healing or buff spell on him. The third priest leans to the side and a beam of holy light shoots out aiming for your feet. 

Outside Shank dodges the chain of light, but when he attempts to claw the priests eye out, the priest that had his knee crushed quickly raises his hand and summons a barrier of light to intercept it. The standing priest has not yet noticed Oshikuru, and is shocked to see that Shank dodged his attack. He thrusts his palms out as a ball of light slowly drifts over the barrier and heads toward the unconscious priest that Shank knocked out.
"You're the one making this hard for yourself! We have done nothing wrong, we just want to live!" The priest yells out at Shank
John
Yuuki read the priest's movements as he tensed to jump at her and stepped to the side, lifting her katana from her shoulder and attempting to bring it down on the man's arm with a lightning-imbued cut. Regardless of the result, she would quickly dive and roll towards the priest casting the offensive spell, remaining crouched as she gripped her katana with both hands and swept it across his knee from the back.
Pauline
*Oshikuru readies his glaive and spins it around. He uses the momentum to bring it into an upward strike into the standing priest's groin. He then punches him in the back of the head*
Karen
*Shank leaps toward the kneeling priest and attempts to grab him by his neck from behind. If this succeeds, he slams the man's head into the floor to knock him out via concussion. His ears twitch as he glares at the standing priest.*

"You want to live? Then give up."
Gina
The leaping priests has his body reinforced as you swing your katana, unable to pierce his skin as deep as you hoped, but the electricity still flows through and renders him unable to move for the moment. You are able to successfully roll out of the way of the attack with your quick reflexes and easily cut the priest's knee. He grits his teeth in pain and the electricity flowing through his body prevents him from moving.
The one remaining priest who cast the buff spell turns and points his finger at you and golden chains made of light fly toward you. 
"The gods are on our side! Even if you succeed today, know in the future you will receive your due punishment!" He yells

Outside the poor priest that didn't see Oshikuru clutches his groin in agony as his knees collapse to the ground. "...No... Honor... You... Scum...". 
As you punch him across the head he falls to the ground unconscious. 
Shank grabs the kneeling priest, but as he does so, the priest attempts a point blank blast with a beam of holy energy aimed at Shank's chest before his head is slammed into the floor and is also rendered unconscious. 
However, the holy ball of light that was ignored by both Oshikuru and Shank makes its way to the unconscious priest that Shank knocked out earlier and the priests head wounds are healed and he slowly gets up. He sees the situation and yells in terror as he attempts to sprint for the gates again.
Pauline
*Oshikuru notices the escaping priest, and locks his sight on him. Running at 27 miles per hour, Oshikuru jumps at the priest and launches a 360 roundhouse kick at the priest's head*
John
Alerted by the man's yell, Yuuki grabbed the paralyzed man with one arm and pulled him into the path of the chains, letting him take the blow in her stead. She'd then put her sword against the priest's neck, drawing a thin line of blood as her cutting enchantment barely edged into his skin. "I'd stop with the temper tantrum if you don't wish to meet your gods in person," She warned the others, gripping the priest by the hair.
Karen
*As Shank notices the man about to cast, he grabs the man's arms, pulls them to the side, and uses his knee to slam the head in. He looks at the man trying to escape, but simply watches, hoping Oshi can catch up.*
Gina
Yuki, you block the chains and they wrap around the paralyzed priest, immobilizing him. The last non-paralyzed priest take a deep breath and looks at you with resolve in his eyes. "Take our lives. 3 souls may not burden a cold-hearted person like you, but in time it will add up. Praise be to Osin..." And the priest makes a desperate attempt to launch another spell at you despite having a katana next to his neck. 

Shank is able to push away the beam from his chest, but it grazes his side. The priest is now unconscious.
With Oshikuru's impressive speed he easily closes the distance and launches a kick at the priests head. The priest falls over and his body skids across the ground from the momentum, dead. There are no more priests in the front.
John
"Of course it will add up. If I am to ascend to greatness, I must build a mountain. I'm not going to concern myself with what it is made of." Yuuki immediately moved to the priest's side as he raised his hands to cast a spell, bringing her blade down in a heavy overhead swing to cut both his hands off and stop his spellcraft, as her katana quietly hummed with a cutting vibration. She'd back away and shallowly cut the other two priests across the shoulder, using the last of her paralysis spell to keep them still, before hacking off their hands at the wrists as well.
Pauline
*Oshikuru pokes the priest he just killed with his foot. Seeing as he is not moving, he decides to head back into the room. He sees the dismembered hands and looks back up at Yuuki.* "They're all gone. 7 captured and 2 dead." *He remembers the one he kicked in the head* "Wait, let me check" *He goes back to feel the pulse of the dead priest and finds none, walks back and says* "Correction. 6 captured and 3 dead"
Karen
*Shank grits his teeth as he looks as his wound, which (I'm assuming?) has melted some of his skin. He didn't kill anyone. That's good. He slowly gets up, puts his warhammer back on his side, and swallows.*

"What now?"
Pauline
*Oshikuru points to the Felinid's wound* "You need help with that?"
Karen
"No."

*The Felinid shakes his head. Chances are, he could just find some bandages and patch it up. No use getting the Oni to waste his mana, and let's be honest, he's also trying to look tough. He's still a young adult, practically a teenager.*
Pauline
*Oshikuru nods.* "I think we're done. Should we group all the bodies together?"
Karen
*The Felinid nods... He begins dragging the bodies together as the Oni suggested.*

"Do we have rope?"
Pauline
*Oshikuru scratches his helmet.* "I don't know. We can check, but these guys are in no condition to escape"
Karen
"I suppose. So that's..."

*The boy tilts his head and thinks to himself for a bit.*

"...600, multiplied by 6... 300 by 3... 900 plus 3600.. 4500 silver..."
Gina
The squirrel you saw earlier Shank hops on over and you expected it slowly transforms into the robed figure. He is clapping as he walks over to the two of you. "Splendid work. I assume the inside is cleared as well?" He asks

The priests inside with Yuuki slowly turn pale as they continue to bleed out from their decapitated hands. The don't offer any resistance, even when the paralysis wears off. Rather they weakly smile at one another, the light in their eyes dimly fading as they accept their fate.
Pauline
*Oshikuru nods* "Yep" *He walks inside and realizes that the priests are bleeding out, and that means a loss of silver.* "Keep them alive, they're worth more that way" *He grabs two torches from the walls*
John
Satisfied that the priests were pacified, she dragged them one by one over to a pair of open braziers set on either side of a particularly grandiose painting. Without remorse she thrust their bleeding arms into the flames in turn, cauterizing their wounds, so they might live for however long their client wanted to keep them. "You don't seem to know who you're speaking to," She replied to the man without looking backwards, finishing up with the last priest and throwing him aside onto the floor. "I know the conditions of payment. I only ask that you allow me to do my work in peace." She turned back to face him, her katana tucked under one arm.
Darren
"We're done."

*Shank folds his arms, and turns to the contractor.*

"This is something I'd rather forget..."
Gina
The robed man nods "Good"
 He looks inside and see Yuuki performing her handiwork and chuckles "Well aren't you efficient"
He heads upstaris and to the back and nods "Looks like you captured 6, killed 3. 45 gold total. You can split it however you want. However I suggest you do it quickly and leave the premise as discreetly as possible." He snaps his fingers and herd of mice appear carrying a pouch of gold coins and drops it at your feet. 
The man goes around and gathers the living and dead priests and stacks them in one pile. The priests who are missing their hands are still conscious weakly ask "What did we do?"
The robed figure shrugs "Perhaps you should ask what we're going to do, or better yet ask what aren't we going to do to your bodies." With a hint of haughtiness. He pulls out some chalk and starts drawing sigils on the ground around the priests. He then pull 10 rings and 10 vials from his pockets. He goes up to each of the priests, dead or alive, and pours a vial into each of their mouths and then a ring around their finger. 
The conscious ones try to resist, but the robed figure easily pries their mouths open. As they drink the contents of the vial their eyes roll back and their bodies go limp. The figure then puts on a ring and drinks the vial.
 He then turns to look at you three. "You all did good work today. I hope you don't mind if the boss requests your services in the future?"
Pauline
*Oshikuru grins behind his mask.* "All you need to do is ask"
John
Yuuki shrugged, holding her katana over her shoulder as she watched the man perform his work. "So long as they payment is appropriate, there is no task I will not take nor a client I will deny. If your employer is always this generous, there will be no problems. On the subject of payment," She diverted the topic, looking at the pouch of coins on the ground, "Do you two wish to divide it evenly, or by the amount of work done? I've taken four, three of them alive. If we divide by merit, I should be getting 21 gold pieces for my participation. What say you?"
Darren
"I think I get 12 gold. I knocked two out."
Pauline
"I say we divide it equally. After all, we all need to live, so 15 gold for each person"
Darren
*Shank nods his head. That's fair. Oshikuru was ten times more skilled than he could ever hope to be... All he did was knock two people out by the skin of his teeth.*

"Sounds good."
John
Yuuki shrugged again. "Majority rules. 15 for each it is." Picking up the pouch of coins, she counted out 15 pieces of gold into her palm, then tossed the pouch to Oshikuru, putting her share into her own coinpurse stashed in her chest. "May you die in battle with a weapon in hand," She bowed as she recited a peculiar farewell, before transforming into a fox and quickly running back out into the city, mingling with the crowds.
Gina
The robed figure chuckles at all your responses. "Very well. I will keep your choices in mind the next time the boss has a job to offer" He then mutters some arcane words that none of you understand and all the priests turn into baby possums while the robed figure turns into an adult possum. He stuffs them all in his pouch and walks into the monastery, expecting you all to leave.
Darren
*Shank just sighs, deeply ashamed of his actions, and leaves.*
