Grimnir turns his head and targets the same drow that received Oorr's bolt in the chest. Chill touch Attack Roll (on drow1 that should be at 4hp now): 24 + 1 (Bless), takes 9 necrotic damage and cannot be regain HP for 1 turn.
Grimnir continues running, blows a kiss to Ilvara and wink at her. "See you later darling!"
Brox cannot wait to see the sunlight again. She puts her hand on the elk's neck. Run, run into the sun.(Elkapone dashes 100ft - 3 squares)
At the exit, Brox looks back to see if she needs to return to help any of her new friends. She is elated to be able to leave the cave system behind her. Dawnbringer sings in her hand to see daylight again after such a long time in the darkness.
As Brox reaches the end of the cavern, she sees sunlight filtering through the trees, branches, and leaves of what appears to be a swamp. Brackish water, stumps, and boggy ground surround her. Grimnir and Zippy are close behind, followed by Oorr. Belwar is no where to be seen, though he was invisible for most of the chase.
You hear Ilvara's cries as she orders her soldiers to chase you into the light. They comply, though hesitantly, and you watch them as they slowly walk into the swamp. Ilvara stands where you can see her in the dim light in the cave, and calls out. "You may think you've won, fools, but we will track you no matter where you go, in light or in dark! Your souls belong to Lolth, and she will have her due. This chase has only slightly evened the odds. You have not yet witnessed my full power! This isn't even my tr..." but before she can get out that last word, you watch as a small knife reaches around Ilvara's neck.
It's being held by a small humanoid creature that has just leaped onto Ilvara's back from the shadows. "This is for my brother, you Lolth loving piece of crap!" shouts a small, but familiar voice. The knife slashes, and Ilvara has just enough time to get her tentacle rod up to deflect part of the blow. You see a trickle of blood on her neck, and then the deep gnome form of Topsy leaps down, rolling into the light, with a wicked grin on her face.
Ilvara's hand goes to her neck, touching the rivulet of blood. She slowly moves her hand to her nose. "What... what did you just do? There... there was something on your knife! Get her!"
The remaining drow turn their attention to Topsy, and close in.
Topsy Initiative: 5
Eldeth, leaps from the Elk and runs to Topsy, "We thought ye were dead!" The dwarf takes a defensive stance around the young deep gnome, and shoots a look back at the rest of you. "We cannae let them 'ave her, nor be free to chase us doon. Let's end this."
I size up the situation and shrug invisibly, then reappear about 30 feet behind the drow.
With a non-Euclidean gesture, I wreathe my right hand in a veil of flame. With a word of power, I slam that hand into the ground. Mirroring my hand, a 5-foot ball of fire plummets from the sky and slams into Ilvara for 15. I lean back into a fighter's crouch, with the flame on my arm dispersed into dozens of brightly colored flamelets dancing around me.
Ilvara wipes away the blood from her neck. She looks as if she's about to say something when the flaming sphere erupts above her head, causing he to dodge out of the way. (DC 15 Dex Save: 18)
She manages to get out of the way, but not without the edges of her robes smoldering and burning her skin.
Angrily, she turns away from Eldeth and Topsy, looking directly into the eyes of Belwar. "You... you were the worst one. I should have killed you the first day you arrived! Well, no time like the present." She walks to 15 feet away from Belwar, and reaches out with her tentacle rod. All three tentacles last out at the deep gnome.
The last tentacle misses the deep gnome by an inch, while the first two make contact.
Shoor rushes to Ilvara's side, and drops a magical darkness that obscures Ilvara and himself from the view of everyone else. Belwar, you are just outside the edge of this magical darkness.
Jorlan seems to ignore what's happening in the cave, instead rushing up to Eldeth to attack. The trickle of sunlight through the leaves seems to be hindering his vision. Shortsword Attack 1: 19 Damage: 10 Poison Damage: 7 Shortsword Attack 2: 12 Damage: 9 Poison Damage: 14
The first attack strikes down Eldeth, and he pivots to use the second attack against Topsy, slashing her torso.
"Eldeth ! We haven't come that for to fail now. For the Horde !!!!!".Grimnir castsHealing Word (+6 HP) on the dwarf and rushes in the middle of the battle. He runs towards Ashara, but staying 10ft away from her (and if possible away from the tentacles of Ilvara).
Telepathically: "Let's try to focus on the same enemy."
As he runs, Grimnir concentrates and an explosion of spore forms a simulacra of an armour (Symbiotic Entity > +8 temp HP ; 10min)
When he gets close to the drow (Ashara), Grimnir throws a ball of spores at her. CON DC 13 or 5 necrotic damage (Reaction) (Actually I will do this reaction just before my turn... So I can keep my reaction for now)
Brox looks around and decides to again bless (lvl 2) her friends. She sprinkles a bit of holy water and moves her hands quickly. A little extra light now surrounds Grimnir, Belwar, Oorr and herself. [OOC: +1d4 for every attack and saving throw]
Ashara responds to Grimnir's approach by casting a quick spell. Fiendish imps and devils appear in circle around Ashara as she finishes casting Spirit Guardians. She then takes a step back into the magical darkness, disappearing from view, though her spirit guardians are visible. (Grimnir, make a DC 13 Wis Saving throw at the start of your turn. Take 5 necrotic damage on a failure, or half on a success.)
The drow warriors coordinate their attacks to try and take out Grimnir. One of them casts Faerie Fire while the other shoots at Grimnir with a cross bow bolt. (Grimnir, DC 11 Dex Save. Faerie Fire) Drow Crossbow Attack: 10 Damage: 4 (That's a miss, even if faerie fire succeeds.)
Eldeth, groggy from being knocked down and then revived, disengages, and tries to drag Topsy away 15 feet from Jorlan.
I continue my assault, disrupting Shoor's casting with a barrage of flashing lights (counterspell), then engulfing all but one of the drow in a 21-damage fireball and hitting Ilvara with the flaming sphere again for 10.
I continue my assault, disrupting Shoor's casting with a barrage of flashing lights (counterspell), then engulfing all but one of the drow in a 21-damage fireball and hitting Ilvara with the flaming sphere again for 10.
One good fire spell is worth a thousand words.
The darkness fails to take hold, and as Shoor swears, the area is ignited with fire and... probably death. Dex Saves: Ilvara (FB: 12; FS: 10) Shoor FB: 19 Jorlan FB: 14 Drow 2 FB: 11 Ashara FB: 2
Yep, death! Ashara and her spirit guardians are wiped away in ash and fire. The drow warrior to the North also dies. Leaving the rest of the drow badly injured and burned.
(Grimnir, you no longer are affected by spirit guardians, and thus do not have to make a WIS saving throw.)

Ilvara brushes away the soot and dust from her robes. "I'm done underestimating you. It's clear you've somehow manged to gain power since you were last caught. Behold the power of Lolth! Mistress! Hear my cry!" screams Ilvara. She then begins to speak a vile tongue that is unintelligible to you all. A large black portal begins to form in the middle of the swamp, growing bigger as Ilvara speaks. With a final shout, her voice cuts off, and all goes silent for a split second.
Success on a roll of 71-100: 99
The portal snaps shut, with nothing having emerged. Ilvara screams and grabs her head, suffering 1 psychic damage. "Nooooo! My queen! Why have you forsaken us!?"
Jorlan and Shoor don't know what to make of what just happened. They press the attack, Jorlan against Oorr, and Shoor against Belwar.

"Very well, now is my turn, let me show you what I learnt my dear..." Grimnir flex his muscles and rushes toward Jorlan, flanking the drow with Oorr and delivering his first swing

Using 1 ki point, Grimnir unleash his Furry of blows and shouts "Brox I let you finish this one !". Ten feet further, Grimnir stands in front of the High priestess and hit her with his last fist attack:
Left hand 2 on Ilvara:24 + 2 , damage 8 + 6 poison Stunning strike >> DC13 CON or stunned (Using 1 ki point) Furry of blow >> DC13 DEX or fall prone
As Grimnir delivers his last attacks, he retreats in the bushes to give him some possible cover
OOC: i forgot, but Just before his turn, Grimnir snaps his fingers (reaction) and a ball of spores hits Jorlan: DC 13 CON or 2 poison
Brox asks Elkapone to turn back. She is unaware that Grimnir shouted something with everything going on. The animal walks reluctantly back to Ilvara, shaking its big antlers.
10 ft away from the priestess it stops and refuses to get closer. Brox jumps off its back, and walks over, Dawnbringer glowing excitedly in her hands. A second before attacking Ilvara, Brox concentrates on a spell to improve her attack, to infuse it with more light (Branding Smite). [attacking with advantage, hoping Ilvara is either stunned or prone. if not, please use first roll only]
to hit: 25 for damage: 11 plus Branding smite: 8 (radiant damage) plus Divine Smite: 10 (radiant damage) [total damage: 29]
In a blinding flash of light from Dawnbringer, Ilvara's screams to Lolth are cut short by Brox. She crumples to the ground in a heap of robes, dropping her tentacle rod. Jorlan is brought nearly to his knees from Grimnir's attacks, and Shoor begins to look around nervously. The last drow warrior looks around at the others, not sure what do do in the wake of the priestesses death. He retreats to the tunnel, and fires a crossbow bolt at Brox.
Crossbow Attack: 20 Damage: 7
Topsy, hurt and being held by Eldeth, starts to morph, her body growing slightly smaller, and sprouting fur. Her face elongates into a snout with whiskers and a wiggling pink nose. Eldeth loses her grip as the rat she is now holding wriggles free. Topsy rushes towards Jorlan and sinks her teeth into his neck.
Jorlan dodges at first, surprised by the sudden attack, but Topsy finds purchase on her second bite, and the drow slumps to the ground. She continues to tear at his neck.
Eldeth cries out for her to stop, and rushes forward to pull the wererat off of the dead drow.
Shoor begins to back up, "Well, now... looks like you've earned your escape... how about we just part ways here." He motions to the last drow to retreat.
Since they're probably going to send another (significantly stronger) force after us whether or not he reports back, we might as well finish off the enemies we can, while we can.
"No, you don't get to escape." I blast them with a 28-damage fireball and slam my flaming sphere into Shoor for 16.

The flaming sphere slams into Shoor, and then the fireball erupts, filling the tunnel entrance. As the flames and smoke clear, Zippy and Oorr rush in, and attack Shoor, Oorr’s dagger slicing at his torso, and Zippy’s fangs sinking in to his neck. Shoor screams, but it’s cut short with the steeder at his face. (He’s down to 5 hp)
A small, hesitant voice gurgles from the throat of the drow. “Mercy... please...”
As fast as lightning, Grimnir joins the group and points his shortsword on the chest of the drow. The blade, shining, is still dropping some blood from the priestess and releases a small green cloud at every slight movement.
"Mercy you say... You didn't have any when you slaughter Topsy's brother or when we were your captives. What proves that you won't come back at us eventually? What use can you be for us?"
Grimnir turns his head and targets the same drow that received Oorr's bolt in the chest.
Chill touch Attack Roll (on drow1 that should be at 4hp now): 24 + 1 (Bless), takes 9 necrotic damage and cannot be regain HP for 1 turn.
Grimnir continues running, blows a kiss to Ilvara and wink at her. "See you later darling!"
