The lightning fades from Zale's throat as she turns to see her friends finish off (Mondath? or Frulam? are they the same person?). She looks down at the crumpled corpse then back at her companions, "To late for what?" She glances in the direction the guards ran. "I don't be to sure if we should continue or not. If we end up fightin another powerful enemy, we might not hold out a third time. However, we have no clue as to what these bastards be doin down here. What do you all think? We either have to press on, or retreat. I don't think we can risk another rest since they know we be here now."
((Frulam Mondath was her name, only important characters have a last name. Like Jesus in the Bible 😊))
(Can't remember if Zale heard that or not. If she did, then:) Zale nods, "Yes, she said 'Protocol Black'. But I don't have a clue as to what that means. (If she didn't hear that then ignore what she said.)
"If we wish to peruse them, then let's be off. We've no time to waste if they really are retreating and/or destroying whatever is here." She replies to Eric, "You are probably correct, but I don't see any other options if we wish to learn anything from this encounter."
"If I were their leader in a situation like this, my last order would be destroying all evidences and retreating" He mumbles"You have spoken right, and I still have the strength to pursue them until the bottom of the hell if necessary, but I have some doubts." Eric nods to the woman " I think they are all escaping right now and I don't know if will be able to catch one of them... We know little about this cave and might be hidden ways out that they may use to escape, it would mean pursue them blindly"
occ: if I got it right the guards are already escaped from the chamber, out of our view
((Yeah, they're getting outta there fast! Let's not complicate things unless you guys really want to. Zale could maybe make something out, but she doesn’t have darkvision I believe?))

(OOC: The guards did a last attack before running away, so they moved only their movement. With the dash action we can probably reach them - since we would move twice our movement. At that point, they would be subject to attack of opportunity, if they insist running away; so maybe they'll surrender, instead, if offered the option)

Well... there's a map spread open on one of the tables. And there's probably something in the smaller room. But if you guys are running after them I guess I don't have to tell anything about it.
Zale notices the map and picks it up. If the others decide to chase after the guards, she won't look at it yet, but if anyone else wants to look in the room, she will look at it.
(I suppose we could also chase the guards and then come back to this room as well.

If you just pick it up and leave I'll need you roll a Perception check to see if you notice... well I can't really tell you that now, can I?

...If with the double movement she manages to reach the last of the fugitives:
Brandishing her greatsword, the blonde arcane warrior intimates: "Stop now, or you'll be cut to pieces like your dear Mondath and Cyanwrath! Last chance, don't waste it!"
...Else, if she does not reach any of them:
Fearing being outrun or lured into a trap, the blonde arcane warrior gives up the chase and returns to her friends in Mondath's room and helps to search it.
(Lol another one of Zale's famous perception checks! 4! ....woooooooo)
Anyways... Zale just sees a map. Quickly snatching it from it's place, she takes off after the guards and Khessa. She will try to head off whichever one Khessa isn't closer to. (if possible and assuming the map wasn't trapped...)
"Halt! Lest you wish to taste my steel!" She yells flourishing her rapier.
Intimidation: 23 (nat 20! ...hopefully i didn't waste it!)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Nixi watches with satisfaction as the mystic projectiles leave her wand and streak across to the Cult Leader, slamming into her chest in a shower of sparks. As the woman crumples to the ground, Nixi will rush over to try and hear any last words she might whisper (Nixi speaks Draconic). As the woman expires, Nixi will search her for anything of interest, such as potions, spellbooks, jewelry, weapons. As the others rush off to fight the guards, Nixi will take a small detour into the side room, and check it out as well, searching for anything that might aid them in their quest, or simply add to their wealth.

It's pitch-dark after the short tunnel to the next room (hence protocol black?) You can cast Light but since it's an action you can't dash.

You yank the map of the table, all other documents whirl through the air and fall scattered on the floor.
((With that (perception) roll I assume you run into Khessa in the darkness. She's very intimidated LOL!))

Khessa had already Light cast on her arcane focus by Nixi (Nixi did it as Khessa was climbing up to the epic boss fight room, posts 1902-1903)

Very well, let me grab the map and initiative order again ((brb)).
Flow of events: - Calvin kills idiot - Zale talks to the entire group and in response to Eric - Cultists you didn't see run 60 ft - Eric in discussion with Khessa - Khessa in discussion with Eric - Kriv ??? - Nixi checks out Frulam's corps. She hears her saying "You... you're to late..." The dying cultist (idiot) tries to reach for her hand. Frulam has very little of worth on her body: Tiamat's Holy sombol (her arcane focus), a halberd and chain mail. - The Guards run 60 ft - Calvin ??? - Zale moves 15 ft, grabs the map, moves 15 to the tunnel (to the next room) and sees nothing (also darkness) - Cultists run even further - Eric reluctantly follows Zale and even with Dash action gets only 50 ft This places him in the tunnel (unless he doesn't overtake Zale) and he sees a dark and empty room (bc darkvision he could see there's nobody there) - Khessa runs after them using her action to dash Looking at the map she's between Eric and Zale in tunnel
Posting outside initiative order made this a bit messy, but given the above I'd say you've done too much talking to be able to catch up with the cultists and guards.

Calvin bites the cultist, bringing the idiot down under his weight. He tears out some flesh with his sharp teeth before spitting it out.
He then looks around the cave. He looks wild and alert as he breathes heavily. He then calms down but remains a lizard for time being.

occ: Eric is a heavily armored dwarf so he is unlikely to pursue anyone, he is just not made for this kind of stuff, but if his swifter allies do he'll follow.
Khessa is too intrigued (and worried) by not knowing what the fugitives want to do, so she tries to set off in pursuit.
(OOC: dash for a round, then...)

Eric exhales sharply "I was oping not to rushing" he thinks, he follows his comrades running awkwardly with his short legs and his heavy metal armor

Frulam has very little of worth on her body: Tiamat's Holy sombol (her arcane focus), a halberd and chain mail.
- The Guards run 60 ft
- Calvin ???
- Zale moves 15 ft, grabs the map, moves 15 to the tunnel (to the next room) and sees nothing (also darkness)
- Cultists run even further
- Eric reluctantly follows Zale and even with Dash action gets only 50 ft
This places him in the tunnel (unless he doesn't overtake Zale) and he sees a dark and empty room (bc darkvision he could see there's nobody there)
- Khessa runs after them using her action to dash
