Tallow casts Dispel Magic. "LEAVE THEM ALONE!" but the magic fist remains!
Genren sucks up the magic missiles and closes with Gadrille, hitting her once with his short sword. His first strike is blocked by an invisible force around the magic user. (Mage armor =)
Gadrille (DC10 concentration check: 5) loses concentration on her spell, and the magical fist disappears. Maybe Tallow thinks that he dispelled it!! Still, she looses three more magic missiles at Genren. (take 9 force damage!)
Wakka...
Manfred trips and stumbles into the blow hole! 10 But nothing happens.
Wakka fell towards the ground as soon as the hand faded from reality. As he regained his bearings and caught his breath, he noticed Manny dangerously close to the "blowhole". Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes and slowly lifted the halfling from the water and dropped him lightly adjacent to him. "You probably shouldn't go near that..."He told Manny afterwards.
Telekinetic Movement: (You can move an object or a creature with your mind. As an action, you target one loose object that is Large or smaller or one willing creature, other than yourself. If you can see the target and it is within 30 feet of you, you can move it up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see. Alternatively, if it is a Tiny object, you can move it to or from your hand. Either way, you can move the target horizontally, vertically, or both. Once you take this action, you can’t do so again until you finish a short or long rest, unless you expend a Psionic Energy die to take it again.)

Two more attacks! "Don't want to chat? Or maybe you can just surrender hmm?" he moves quickly as he shuffles from side to side and takes two swings with his short swords.
Tallow sees the magical hand disappear and pumps his fist in victory. He will get within line of sight of Gadrille and cast Fire Bolt Attack: 21 Damage: 7
Tallow moves into the cavern, following Genren. He gets as far as he can and then sends a fire bolt towards the cult leader standing in the mouth of her chambers about 25' away.
Genren follows the small flaming ball to Gadrille and makes twin slashes with his swords!
Gadrille shoots a lightning bolt from her hand through Genren and Tallow! (Make a DC15 Dex save. Take 33 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.)She then moves further back into her chambers (Genren gets an AoO...)
"Let's finish thi-" Wakka called out to Tallow as he began to move towards him before a flash of light lit the cave. Instinctually shielding Tallow from the lightning bolt as best he could, Wakka then flew into a rage and leaped into the air; hanging in the air an unnatural amount of time before landing behind Gadrille and attacking her with all his might!
Attack: Hit- 23/ Damage- 10 slashing + (8+3) force + 5 cold (26 total) (Using (1) Psi Energy Die)
Bonus Action: Psi-Powered Leap - Gain 60 fly speed till end of turn
As a bonus action, you can propel your body with your mind. You gain a flying speed equal to twice your walking speed until the end of the current turn. Once you take this bonus action, you can’t do so again until you finish a short or long rest, unless you expend a Psionic Energy die to take it again.
Reaction: Protective Field (on Tallow): 3+3 = 6 Damage mitigated! (Using (1) Psi Energy Die)
When you or another creature you can see within 30 feet of you takes damage, you can use your reaction to expend one Psionic Energy die, roll the die, and reduce the damage taken by the number rolled plus your Intelligence modifier (minimum reduction of 1), as you create a momentary shield of telekinetic force.
Tallow moves into the cavern, following Genren. He gets as far as he can and then sends a fire bolt towards the cult leader standing in the mouth of her chambers about 25' away.

Gadrille shoots a lightning bolt from her hand through Genren and Tallow! (Make a DC15 Dex save. Take 33 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.) She then moves further back into her chambers (Genren gets an AoO...)
Wakka follows Gadrille as soon as the magical fist disappears, getting about halfway along the passage when he sees a blinding flash of light. (Unfortunately, the passages aren't high enough to fly in, so rafter your 30' movement I have you 15' away from Genren, who is at the entrance to Gadrille's chambers. Also, Tallow was not in your sight nor close by, so you are not able to protect him. You therefore still have an action and no psi points expended...)
Wakka dashes past Genren into Gadrille's chambers, not quite able to catch up to her. In the center of this 30' x 20'chamber is a large roiling boil of water. There are chambers to the west and north, and another passage leading east. Gadrille appears to be heading to the western chamber, where you can make out a carved limestone likeness of Talos in one corner and images of Talos’s destructive power carved on the other walls.
Tallow lies smoking on the ground...(failed first death save)

Genren follows the individual and closes the distance hopping over Wakka and will try to get on the otherside of Gardrille with his spider climbing slippers and an acrobatic flip before taking two more stabs at them!

Tallow lies smoking on the ground...(failed first death save)
Genren moves into the cave and goes up on the wall, striking at Gadrille but only hitting her once.
Gadrille yells, "Talos take you!"and shoots a bolt of lightning that arcs toward Genren, which leaps from him to Wakka! (You each take 43 lightning damage, or half as much damage on a successful DC15 Dex saving throw.)
Though he managed to partially dodge the zap of lightning, it still hurt. A lot. Charging around the bend to hinder any escape attempts with Genren, Wakka lifted up his axe and began to wail on her furiously as he yelled, “To Hells with your lightning and to Hells with Talos!”
Manfred shakes himself off, sending water spraying off him like a dog, before moving quickly towards Tallow. 'Sorry guys, zoned out a bit there. I'll explain later...' he shouts as he moves, before muttering the resonant tones of a [Tooltip Not Found], sending waves of healing energy towards his fallen comrade...
Wakka grits his teeth as the electricity locks his muscles in a searing agony, but come out of in a rage! His wild swings miss her at first, but his frenzied fury nearly chops her in half from shoulder to waist! (Combat over!!! That was a close one - nicely done!)
The area Gadrille was trying to retreat to was her private shrine. In addition to the carved limestone likeness of Talos in one corner, the walls are carved with images of Talos’s destructive power. Moving within the chamber is like moving through difficult terrain. Gadrille stored her personal wealth here, including a chest with 300 gp, three ornate matching silver daggers worth a total of 500 gp, a ring of warmth, a wand of magic missiles, and a potion of vitality.
As for the the crates in the treasure cave... DC10 Investigation:
These crates contain about 2000 gp worth of trade goods hidden beneath magically preserved fish. However, the crates are heavy and unwieldy, requiring a good-sized ship to transport them all to a place where they could be sold.
DC20 Investigation:
The crate marked “Gold” has tiny runes on the edge of the lid...The runes can be deactivated with a dispel magic spell, or carefully filed away with a DC 15 Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check. Otherwise, the party gets one last nasty surprise from the cult - an exploding trap! Any creature within 10 feet of the crate must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, taking 27 thunder damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success. The creatures within the blast radius are also covered in green ink that only comes off with repeated scrubbing over the course of months.
By defeating Gadrille and her cultists’ salvage operation, you have struck a great blow to the plans of the Cult of Talos in the immediate area. When you are finished in the caverns, you can return as heroes to your new home of Leilon for a well-deserved rest!
‘Looks like there’s a stash hidden under these fish here!’ calls out Manfred, ‘Eww!’he exclaims as he moves some surprisingly fresh (but still slimy) fish aside…

Tries last minute to dodge the lightning (no damage if successful) before Wakka finishes the job "Phew, that was a close one! A nasty bugger she was....how's everyone holding up?" He starts looking through the room.
"I need a vacation." Wakka groaned to Genren in reply once the dust had finally settled and the cult was no more. "Ideally to a place with sunny weather and no storms. in sight" he added with a sigh. "You're also going to have to teach me how to dodge lightning like you did earlier. That is not a skill I thought I'd ever need until a few moments ago..."
Investigation 24(accidently rolled twice. 14 was the second roll)
"Great find Manny! I think I found something else as well inside of this crate..." Wakka started before noticing the runes etched on the side and blanching a bit. "Actually Manfred, can you come here and take a look at this, I think it might be trapped..."

Wakka's turn redo!:
Now free and hearing a loud bang in the cavern, Wakka charged forward in the direction of where he thought the Cult Leader was located.
