Burr rounded on the fire throwing druid and charged him swinging the maul at his face.

 vs Fire Druid Attack: 14 Damage: 12

Giles stops descending the stairs, instead he comes back up and walks midway down the hall going toward Zefla, putting another bolt in his crossbow as he does so.  If his bolt drops the vine blight, he will advance down the hall to attack the Druid.  He also directs the spiritual axe to attack the vine blight if it is still alive, if not it will attack the Druid.  “I’m coming…any more of them?”

Crossbow bolt : 21 to hit, for 6 points of piercing damage.  

Spiritual weapon : 8 to hit, for 6 points of force damage.

Giles' crossbow bolt plunges into the center of mass of the vine creature.  It shudders and then falls to the floor, its vines disentangling from one another into an inartful pile at the end of the hall.

[Since Giles cannot see the Druid around the corner, I don't believe he can make a melee spell attack with his spiritual weapon.  Based on the roll, it would have missed anyway.]

Burr clobbers the downstairs Druid with his maul, but it feels like hammering a block of wood.  He doesn't appear to have hurt the corrupted forest dweller.  [Druid is under effect of [spell[barkskin[/spell] and its AC is currently 16.]

The Druid darts away from Thorn to the other side of Burr [Thorn may make an opportunity attack against the Druid... Druid doesn't leave Burr's reach so no AOO for Burr].  Then he turns and raises his staff.  There is a peel of roaring thunder in the Fermentation Room and Burr and Thorn are hit with a thunderwave.  They each must make a DC 12 Constitution saving throw.  On a failed save, they take 9 thunder damage and are pushed 10 feet away from the Druid. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn't pushed.

[Based on HP, it doesn't look like Thorn can survive this.  I left Thorn on the map in case I am wrong about that.  Burr actually can't be pushed 10' away because a barrel is in the way.  But he should still make the save to see if he can halve the damage.]

Round 9!

1. Zefla
2. Soren
3. Printing Press Room Druid
4. Burr
5. Giles
6. Downstairs Druid

As the dark druid moves away, Thorn makes one last lunge at his hastily retreating torso.  (Pack Tactics apply as Burr is within 5' of dark druid).

Thorn AoO maul/bite to hit dark druid at advantage:  26 (nat. 20)
Thorn AoO maul/bite damage on dark druid:  12 piercing

Fully extended and covered in twigs, needles and blood (his own and the druid's), the spirit wolf feels the thunderous wave of magic energy smash his broken form backwards.  With a final look of goodbye at Burr and Soren, Thorn collapses in a heap in the southeast corner of the room, then vanishes.

Thorn's CON Save against Thunderwave (rolled as Soren's Nature as both are +1):  5 (failure)

Soren gazes wordlessly at the spot where Thorn died and then back at the corrupted druid, somehow even more implacably than before.

Zefla stares in a moment of surprise as the vine blight in front of her crumples in a heap.  Seeing the bolt, realization dawns on her, and over her shoulder she calls out "Thanks!" to Giles, then runs after the upstairs Dark Druid in hot pursuit, wiping some of her blood off as she runs.

It looks like she can just get there?  

Using her shortsword and dagger, she attacks the woman..

Attack: 21, Damage: 9 (This is the same if she would use her shortbow, so if she can't get there after turning the corner, she would stop there and fire off an arrow.)

Attack: 16, Damage: 4 

Thorn:  (dead and gone)

Nettle:  1/1hp plus 3 Temp.  In fury, the owl flies in the face of the druid who slew Thorn (help action), then back up to Soren's shoulder using Flyby.

Snarling at the dark druid below, Soren moves 20' back east along the balcony so he is directly above him.  He lashes downward with his thorny vine.

Soren Thorn Whip to hit dark druid with advantage due to help:  25
Soren Thorn Whip damage on dark druid:  6 magical piercing
Forced movement:  dark druid is pulled 10' upward like a yo-yo, then dropped to the floor, landing prone.
Falling damage (1d6):  2 bludgeoning

If the dark druid is prone, Burr's next attack on the dark druid from within 5' (where he already is) should be at advantage.

Soren then moves 10' back west along the balcony.  As a bonus action, he moves Bramble further west towards the NW corner of the fermentation room near where he hears fighting and assumes Zefla and Giles are.

Zefla charges and is just able to reach the moss-veiled Druid woman, surprising her with her halfling ferocity.  

Back in the Fermentation room, Thorn gets a final, parting bite in on the Druid there before being Thunderwaved back to the whatever spirit realm he had spawned from.  Then Soren takes his own measured revenge on the druid, striking him with a Thorn Whip and leaving him prone on the floor before Burr.

Back upstairs, the Druid flashes her staff before her and there is another crashing boom of Thunder.  Zefla is confronted by a thunderwave threatening to hurl her backwards down the hall.  She must make a DC 12 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, she takes 7 thunder damage and is pushed 10 feet away from the Druid. On a successful save, she takes half as much damage and isn't pushed.

The Druid, badly wounded, then flees away and down the stairs.  [If Zefla succeeds on her save, she is able to make an AOO.]

Burr Con Save- 15

Burr grins down at the prone druid, " Hi!"

And swings...

Attack: 13 Damage: 13

The Druid’s skull cracks and deforms under the blow from Burr’s heavy maul.  

Just one left…

Round 9, spiritual weapon round 5/10.  

Giles sends the ethereal axe to follow the Druid and he runs to the end of the hall, loading another bolt in his crossbow as he goes.  He shoots the crossbow bolt at the Druid and directs the spiritual axe to attack the Druid.  

Crossbow : 11 to hit, for 4 points of piercing damage.  

Spiritual weapon : 19 to hit, for 10 points of force damage.  

CON save for Zefla:  19

The halfling holds her ground as the druid attempts her thunderwave and she the creature tries to run, Zefla takes her AoO

Attack: 24, Damage: 8

Zefla plunges her shortsword into the Druid's back as she turns to flee.  

Moments later, Giles appears and heroically crossbows and hacks at the corpse with his spiritual axe.  

In the seconds that follow, the four members of the party realize that no further attacks are forthcoming.  For now, the winery is silent, but for the dripping of blood and the anxious murmuring of the ravens in the rafters of the Fermentation Room.

[We are out of initiative.]

Soren does not smile.  His face looks ashen.

"This is not over.  Tonight, betrayers such as these are planning a dark ritual, I know not where, to summon some worse abomination.  A greater corruption that will drink the tears of the fallen and feast on their corpses, they said.  They are in league with 'the ancient one', which must mean the darklord, I think, for who else is one with this cursed land?  They called this the 'vampire's staff' and was eager for me to bring it to the ritual, so I think we should not.  And I have promised Father Lucien in the city of Vallaki that I at least will return tonight to help them find the lost relic of the cathedral."

He and Nettle venture back into the wagon-loading room to dispatch the final twig blight that remains there as Bramble the incorporeal bear fades away.

The dark druid leader's "vampire staff" hangs uncomfortably from Soren's belt like a rotted animal corpse and he calls for Silvanus' guidance as he and the owl stare outside to see if they can make out whether a horde of blights still infests the vineyards outside (or mists block vision).

Soren Perception plus Guidance:  19 + 2 = 21
Nettle Perception at advantage due to Keen Hearing and Sight:  14

"I can send Nettle to signal to Davian Martikov ato come, but I am not certain whether the way is safe, since he will not be protected by the primal magic of Pass Without Trace as we were, and the blights we passed in the vineyard may be there still.  Perhaps the ravens will go."

He looks up at the ravens in the rafters, cawing at them using Speech of the Woods.  In raven, he says to them:

" Can we just burn the staff?  There are a lot of those things in the vineyard....though I'm happy to smash them all day there may be more druids in other buildings here."

He looks at Soren, " When is the ritual?  We should stop it.  I know you made a promise but if the winery is destroyed then there is no future for those who relied on its produce to alleviate the sorrows of this land.  We must prevent the ritual and help those hiding in the woods make this place what it was."

" The town can wait.....this place gives hope to more than just one town."

"Tonight," Soren answers grimly.  "They said the ritual is tonight."

"If we knew where it is, we could go there and slay all the druids taking part in it.  Destroy their unholy implements.  Like this staff here, as you say.  We do not even have to wait until tonight for that, perhaps.  This land seems deadlier at night.  Davian may know where they came from."

Burr nods.

" Then I should head out and clear a path for them, no?"

Giles comes down the steps, after a minute has passed his glowing axe fades out.  He walks up to Burr and Soren, looking around at the smashed twigs in the room.  “We are still enshrouded, I think.  Upstairs we should quickly look through and see if there are any writings about their plans.  There was a mirror with a curious substance on it.  We need to look here quickly, then head to the main house I think, another Druid or two could be here and unaware of what we have done.  Let’s look into it quickly before we run into the yard and attack.”  Giles walks back to the middle stairs, starting to head back up to the bedroom.

Burr nods and begins checking all the unexplored rooms on the ground floor starting with the northwest one first....

[Is the party just searching the winery?  Are some taking a short rest?  Who is searching and who is taking a short rest?  PCs can either rest, or search, unless you want to take 2 hours (allowing PCs to both rest AND search.  Anyone searching, please include a Perception check.  Alternately, if someone is searching and wants to look into something you noticed already (ie some detail of the winery you want to explore in detail) explain what it is you are examing and add an investigation check instead.

Soren, if you take a short rest and spend it examining that staff, you will learn something of its properties.

Also... This winery is the 'main structure' here at the vineyard.  The other smaller buildings you saw outside looked like small 1 or 2 room cottages and a few sheds.]
