The combined attacks of Night Wine, Erevan and Rha'el overpower the dragonshield and sends him to meet his ancestors. Smitty is able to dispatch the last kobold with a smack across the back of its head. As the last one falls, stone pop into existence. (add 200 gems to your total) Night Wine moves among those that were hurt and, using the powers of his blessed bow, he heals everyone. Escobert walks over and enters the door the kobolds had been guarding. A moment later, Escobert comes out with a frown on his face. "Its as I feared, they broke the door. It will take magic to fix it back. If one of you have Mending It would be appreciated if you can start repairing the door." He looks at the party a moment to see if anyone has the skill.
Erevan breathes innately upon rejuvenated back to optimal vitality. Smiling as the pain in his rib cage has subsided. He darts his eyes down to Smitty once Escobert asks who has the Mending spell.
"Our little friend should be of use." Erevan says, as he moves over to guard the door encase any other intruders embark into Sally Port.
Smitty sidles up and starts laying his hands on the door between the rift. "It will take a few minutes, but I'll begin at once."
Smitty begins chanting in a singsong voice, a gentle light radiating from his amulet and hands as the light seems to fill the crack and undo the rift. Mending one foot per minute.
Erevan nods while Smitty begins repairing the gate. Focused ahead of the gate in anticipation of the arrival of more kobolds and cultists. He'll keep his gaze locked onward, but will address Escobert directly.
"Care to inform us why you're called 'The Red'?" Erevan asks curiously, while maintaining contact with the gate.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Escobert looks over at Erevan and laughs. "Its the red beard and hair, lad. Not many have seen that color it seems around here. Well, that and the blood on my blade after a battle." He rips some cloth off of the dead cultist and starts wiping off the blood on his great axe.
A slight sound comes from behind the party. Erevan's sharp ears pick up on the noise and turns to see cultist coming up behind them. In the front are 2 Kobold dragonshield followed by 2 cultist with staff with a guard on either side and slightly behind. They seem to be coming from inside the keep and returning to the sally port gate to leave. The group pauses as they spot the dead bodies and the party in front of the gate. Erevan shouts a warning as he spots the group.
With a roar they charge at the gate and the party.
Side Initiative:
Party: 18 Cultist: 8
Cultist goes first.
Kd1 rushes forward to confront Gromar and stabs at him twice with his spear.
Attack 1: 7 Damage: 4 Attack 2: 21 Damage: 2
Gromar is able to evade the attacks easily by redirecting them with his glaive. The second dragonshield rushes Rha'el and stabs at him with his spear twice.
Attack 1: 22 Damage: 2 Attack 2: 5 Damage: 7
Rha'el, as well, deflects the attacks with his glaive. The two guards move in front of the Cultist and take a guard position with their morningstars at the ready. Cultist 1 starts chanting something and holds up a symbol. Dark energy forms around the symbol and with a shout he sends the dark energy at Night Wine. The energy rolls through the air and settles on Night Wines heads. He feels compelled to listen to the Command sent by the cultist. The words "FLEE!" sounds loudly in his head. (Make a Wis Saving of DC 11 or be compelled to run away). The second Cultist holds his holy symbol up in the air, chanting slowly. A shaft of light lances down from the air at Escobert for 5 damage. Escobert attempts to dodge by rolling forward. (Dex save 7 ). He rolls forward and comes up in a crouch with the great axe at the ready, his eyes fixed on the cultist.
The partys turn.
Escobert lunges forward towards the KD attacking Rha'el, maneuvering behind it, and swings overhanded at the kobold then spins around in a slash across its back.
Attack 1: 21 Damage: 12 Attack 2: 24 Damage: 11
In his eagerness to attack, Escobert misses the first attack by a narrow margin, fanning the Kobolds back of the neck. His second attack deeply cuts through a loose piece in the armor and the kobold howls in pain as the axe cuts through him.
Erevan looks on as Smitty mends the gate and the party is being targeted by another wave of enemies. Erevan doesn't want to leave Smitty by himself, so Erevan maneuvers himself over to the door so he can keep an eye on Smitty. With his sabre in hand, Erevan elegantly motions his free-hand in the air and mutters "Boulon de feu!" and a flame sparks into his free-hand. The flame crackles while he rapidly thrusts his palm forward, dishcarging a Fire Bolt] at C1 (Cultist 1).
Smitty keeps focused on sealing the door, lest the seal he has started deteriorates. "I'll keep on with the door, see if I can keep it closed so we don't get more company and finish the seal so they stay out. Just cry out if someone seems in dire straights, I'll come running."
The little gnome redoubles his efforts in mending.
[Mending the door takes 5 minutes to complete. You have been at it 3 minutes when the second attack started. You still have 2 minutes left so you will not be able to partake in this fight, unless you leave the door to fight and take a chance of someone crashing through and coming in behind the team.]

After shaking off the cultists dark magic, Night Wine prepares his bow and takes aim at him. "You damn cultist! How dare you try and control me. Die!" After carefully aiming he releases his notched arrow:
Attack: 7 Damage: 7
As soon as he launches the arrow he uses a cunning action to disengage 30ft back to the south door and then uses the rest of his movement to move left and out of sight of the enemies.

Gromar slashes upward with his glaive at the dragonshield confronting him.

KD 2 turns and stabs at Escobert with his spear.
Attack: 14 Damage: 4
Attack: 22 Damage: 2
Escobert, still slightly off balance from his other attacks, is not able to dodge the spear coming at him. He is hit twice in the chest by the kobold, but shrugs off the damage. Erevan attack smashes into the Cultist and singes his robes. Night Wines movement causes his attack to be off. Rha'el is able to slash the dragonshield.
Guard 1 and Guard 2 keep in the ready action.
Cultist 1 raises his holy symbol and hisses out a few words in Draconic, calling on his god to aid him with a spiritual weapon. A light forms a large great axe near Gromar. The axe sweeps downward to slash at him.
Attack: 17 Damage: 5
Gromar easily dodges out of the way of the axe.
Cultist 2 raises his holy symbol and causes light to rain down at Rha'el. (Rhael will need to make a dex save of 11 or tale 1 damage.)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Erevan remains standing in the doorway so that he can keep an eye on Smitty while he mends the gate. Wafting his free-hand elegantly through the air once again as he mutters "Boulon de feu!" to spark another flame into his hand. Thrusting the hand outward to blast the cultist (C1) with another Fire Bolt.
Gromar swings at the dragonshield in front of him it an upward sweep with his glaive.
Attack: 23 Damage: 5
Gromar grunts as he misses again and brings the butt of the glaive around at the head of the kobold.
Attack: 5 Damage: 1
The dragon shield jeers as he deflects the glaive easily with his shield.
Escobert roars at the Kobold and attacks it with a great overhand swing, bringing the blade of the axe downward at its head.
Attack: 14 Damage: 4
Grunting in frustration he brings the axe back around to slash across the Kobold.
Attack: 14 Damage: 10
The kobold jeers at Escobert and gruts in sudden pain as Rha'el slashes him with the Glaive. Suddenly, from the door a ball of fire flys out and catches the hem of the Cultist 1's robe on fire, sent there by Erevan. As he is dancing around a spell from Melnar lands and he begins to stumble just before a beam of energy slams into him. He staggers back into the line of fire of Night Wine. The arrow smashes into his throat and he falls back, gurgling and begins to burn slowly. The Guard that was in front of him roars as the cultist dies and looks at the door.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Guard 1 roars and charges the door, intent on causing harm to the party. He barrels through the door and spots Erevan and Melnar, but not Night Wine, who had hide after firing his arrow. He roars again at Erevan and Melnar and takes a swing at each of them with his large Morningstar.
Attackon Melnar: 18 Damage: 11
Attackon Erevan: 6 Damage: 11
He bashes both of them in the chest, knocking them back a step. (Any attacks against him will be with advantage since he is surrounded.)
Cultist 2 sees his compatriot die and calls out in a loud voice to his god. He points at Gromar and mutters something under his breathe and thoughts of fleeing fills his head. (Spell save DC 11).
Gromar tries to throw off the thoughts. (Wisdom: 14 ) He mutters about having to much ale as he readys to defend against the kobold.
KD1 Shift the shield slightly and sends the spears point out at Gromar.
Attack 1: 23 Damage: 7
Attack 2: 19 Damage: 7
Gromar laughs as he spins the glaive, jeering at the kobold, and deflects the attacks. The kobold chuckles as well, finding the insults back and forth amusing.
KD 2 Stabs at Escobert again twice.
Attack 1: 13 Damage: 6
Attack 2: 10 Damage: 5
Escobert catches the first attack and quickly cuts the arm of the kobold slightly, leaving himself open to the second attack.
