Round 1 (con't):

• Eldon (20) casts a light upon the ceiling 10' above you to provide illumination throughout the chamber, then holds a bonus action to cast spiritual weapon if the monster attacks.
• Zyllynne (19) literally flies into a rage and attacks the creature, hitting twice with massive power.
• Vanizi (18) shifts her hex to the creature and pew pews her eldritch energy at it, missing the first but hitting with the second bolt.
• Vesta (7) uses her staff to magically restrain the creature (DC19 Wis save: 4)
• Thrixi (5) just flutters close to Vanizi for now.
• Davis (4)
• Sorrowsworn (2) - paralyzed this turn. (DC19 Wis save: 1)
• Katarina?
• Celeste?

After the misty step...

attack 1: 28 dmg: 17 + 3rd Level Divine Smite, Radiant: 45  (52 total)

attack 2: 27 dmg: 11

The massive attacks succeed in bringing the lonely sorrowsworn down, ending the threat before it ever really had a chance! (Combat over!)

In the Coffin. Kevetta’s coffin still bears her name, but not her body. Instead, the coffin’s bottom is a roiling swirl of silvery-purple energy. Eldon confirms what you have probably guessed: this is a Crevice of Dusk leading to Neverwinter. Zyl and Davis find a lever behind the stone coffin that causes the blades to retract into the floor, making it safe for the rest of the party to reach the Crevice.

Anything placed into Kevetta’s coffin appears in a dusty, nondescript tomb in Neverwinter’s Pauper’s Graveyard. The name on the tomb is illegible due to advanced age, but the carved phrase “Home Again, To Rest Forever” is barely legible above the tomb’s doorway. With a little exploration, you find the cultists are gone along with anything that may have remained in their hideout. 

Grateful that you have ended the kidnapping threat, Lord Neverember rewards each of you with a large house in Neverwinter. These houses can be adjacent to each other or spread around the city, as you prefer—Neverwinter contains a considerable number of vacant residences. Lord Neverember also pays for a small army of construction workers and renovators to restore these houses for you. The rescued nobles and their families are grateful for your efforts and offer a total of 9,000 gp as a reward. (That's 1,500 gp for each of you. You also have gained a Bastion =))
