Davis smiles, "sometimes you just need to do something reckless, see what happens. Tymora is watching us" and leaves it at that.
He will start to head to the west, waiting if anyone wants to investigate the room first.
Still really interested in those ‘for healing use only’ vials Vinizi pointed out, Celeste would have taken them with them as they went along. She’d sniff at them, look at them, shake them… all while humming her usual guiding melody.
Roll: 6 (+5 for medicine, +3 for investigation) + Guidance: 1
Celeste got really excited about the bells because she likes the sounds they make. She bounces and claps when Zyl rings the bell. The druid thanks the fairy as they continue on their way, following along behind Davis.
When Davis would pause, Celeste would continue to hum along, pop up on her tip toes and begin her sniff tests prior to continuing her inspection of the room. Safety first!
Perception: 21 Guidance: 1
just an unstable unicorn.
Vanizi doesn't really like making a loud sound with the bell when they're trying to search the place. But as Davis and others continue along, she would follow too.

Celeste checks out the vials, and through a variety of test methods, including putting a drop on her skin at the elbow, she realizes these are in fact toxic! What a horrible trick to try and play on unwary adventurers! ;-)
The party rings a single bell, then heads to the door in the west wall of the room after nothing happens. Celeste sniffs around and listens at the edges of the door. She smells people, and the hint of food, but things used to prepare meals more than ready-to-eat food. She briefly hears movement, but then nothing. (Map)
Love God. Love Others. Any Questions?
Vanizi grins as Celeste sniffs around. "Well, did you smell anything there?" she asks a bit jokingly.
Rabbit Sebrica | Skarai | Lokilia Vaelphin | Liivi Orav | Vanizi | Britari/Halila Talgeta/Jesa Gumovi | Neital Rhessil | Iromae Quinaea
"I smell people. And food." Sniff sniff. "I hear things used to prepare meals." She answers Vanizi. "I think it's a kitchen!"
just an unstable unicorn.
Zyl flutters closer, "Well I suppose that isn't the worst thing ever. As long as we aren't the ones being cooked, right? Let's check it out at least since we're here then, yes?"
"Are you saying it smells of people in general? Or you smell someone is there now?" Vanizi asks Celeste. She keeps back slighty, but readies herself for someone to open the door.

Vesta shakes her head, as if to wake herself from a distracting daydream. She'd been strangely quiet, lost in her own mind. Now she awakens to the possibility of danger, and she looks to Celeste for more information.
Yes, I would have a pet owlbear if I could...

Characters: Bryony Alderleaf - Halfling Rogue (The Shattered Obelisk) ♦ Vesta Trevelyan - Half-Elf Sorcerer (Eve of Ruin)
She smells people in there now, but it has gone strangely quiet, as if they know you're coming...
Love God. Love Others. Any Questions?
"I guess if there's people there, we can check it out as Zyl says, but let's be ready," Vanizi says. She steps a bit away from the door to allow others to open the door. But she's ready to cast a spell should there be any adversaries present.

Davis nods at them all, then smiles. He turns towards the door, and will try to open it.
You open the door to a large (35'x40') underground chamber. A small platform stands about 6' above the floor here, with steps leading down, similar to the last room (C3). The first major difference you notice is that there are lanterns hanging on wall hooks here, creating bright light throughout the room. Tables and chairs in this crypt are arranged to create a meeting room or mess hall. Water drips from a pipe into a basin in the southeast corner beneath a detailed image of a staring eye gripped in a withered hand. You see four robed and armed cultists in this room, with another one in the back, staring at the door and you. The one in the back yells, "Memories of Vecna, attack!"
Roll initiative and post your first action! (Map!)
Cultist Init: 17
Leader Init: 17
Love God. Love Others. Any Questions?
Davis Initiative: 10
He would yell out "Cultists, attack!" to make sure those in the back knew. He would then run down the stairs and move to the north of the red cultist and attack.
atk 1 Holy Avenger Longsword: 13 (nat 1) slash: 14
atk 2 Holy Avenger Longsword: 25 slash: 16
Muttering, "Foul kidnappers" at them.
Initiative: 22
Zyl gives a groan of disgust. "Ugh more of them! I KNEW IT!" And she will run to the blue and yellow cultists, just between them on the far side and turn to face them and the door they came in from. The diminutive fairy will then grow in size as she rages, her axe turning into a fiery red.
Bonus Action: Rage (choosing fire for elemental cleaver)
Action: attacks blue cultist
Attack 1: 13 to hit, 15 fire + 3 (rage) +2 (elemental cleaver) = 20 total
Attack 2: 27 to hit, 8 fire, + 3 (rage) +1 (elemental cleaver) = 12 total
Katarina initiative: 14
The jungle cat hisses as she catches sight of a bunch of cultists... these creeps need to die! (Note: Katarina would have gotten her shield out after the last fight so it should be equipped right now).
Round 1:
Bonus action: RAGE!!!
Wild Surge: 2 - you teleport up to 30ft to an unoccupied space you can see. You can do this again as a bonus action on each of your turns (Katarina is going to teleport into the thick of the action, close enough to the cultist leader that she can use her movement speed to charge up to him and hit him in the face with her sword...)
Action: two longsword attacks vs. cult leader (attacking recklessly)
Attack: 17; Damage: 9 + 3 (magical slashing) + 7 (radiant) = 19
Attack: 22; Damage: 7 + 3 (magical slashing) + 8 (radiant) = 18
Unhappy that the market got rid of individual purchases for one-off subclasses, magic items, and monsters?
Provide feedback!
Initiative: 16
Hearing all the commotion once the door was open, Celeste would reach into her pocket. She'd pull out a pebble, hold it up in the centre of her palm and speak quietly to it in druidic as she'd pet it. Once her companions would spill into the room and she'd be able to get a clear view. Celeste would hold up her palm and give her pet rock a hearty flick. It's launched into the room towards the cultist at the back (against the west wall above purple) and clatter to the floor. A moment passes. Just as if one would start to think that's all it was, the pebble would then meld into the ground as it grew, morphing into a beast of the land.
Casting: [spell]Summon Beast[/spell] at lvl 4, land.
Then drawing her celestial bow, the druid would release her signature luminous bolt.
vs Purple
BA: Luminous Arrow Attack: 26 Damage: 8
The newly formed beast snarls and snaps. Celeste gives the command with a sharp whistle. The beast lurches forward in efforts to maul the cultist.
Beast vs Purple
Maul 1 Attack: 17 Damage: 8
Maul 2 Attack: 27 Damage: 7
just an unstable unicorn.
(Vanizi Initiative: 4)
Vanizi hangs back near the door so long as she can still get line of sight on the cultists. She first applies her Hex to one of the cultists (red) and then casts Eldritch Blast, sending both beams at the same target.
(Spell Attack: 30, Damage: 12 force)
(Spell Attack: 27, Damage: 14 force)
(Hex: 3 necrotic damage if one of the attacks hits)
(OOC - Hex should have a duration of 24 hours, so assuming she hasn't done anything to lose concentration)

Round 1!
Zyllynne flies down from the landing, over the table, to land between the blue and yellow cultists. She rages about the unfairness of it all, growing in size and lighting her axe on fire! Then with two mighty blows, she drops the blue cult fanatic to his knees, barely holding on for dear life. (1 hit point left!!!) The man just flops on the ground, trying to keep his arm attached to his torso.
Leader points at the group, and a small orb of liquid magma forms. It zooms towards the party, growing in size as it flies at you! Lucky for Zyl that she just flew away - unfortunately, everybody else is caught in the fireballs blast. (Make a DC14 Dex saving throw, taking 25 fire damage if you fail, and half if you save...)
(I have to run to work...will post your actions tonight. Please make your saving throws and any adjustments to your posted action =O
