Where is everyone at when Gralmor starts casting his first sacred flame? Thorik and Gralmor are clearly inside the chamber with the bodies, going by the descriptions above. I need placement for Dalin, Bulvii, DuCrae, Zupin, and Damrius... You can either be in the room with the bodies or in the room with the three doors.
(guesing you mean Zogri with Zupin: Zogri will be outside in the room with 3 doors as Gralmor and Thorik go in, so he will still be in that room unless the full group entered the room already.)
As Gralmor goes to cast his spell the figures move. They clearly were only pretending to be dead to get an ambush on the group. They each pull skull-headed maces out from under their robes as they go to get up...
Let's roll initiative.
Gralmor gets one attack with his sacred flame as a surprise round.
(For those who posted already, and those who haven't too I guess, please post your actions as well. we will be running combat differently going forward. Everyone will post actions and, once all actions are posted, I will run them through.)
Zogri will attack the cultist (with his bow) that is either attacking an ally or if none is attacking yet he will attack one that is out in the open.
Bow Attack: 14 Damage: 6
if an ally would be very hurt or be downed Zogri will use Cure Wounds on him (but he will assume the clerics or paladins will do this first so will hold off with this untill it is needed). Heals for 6
Thorik will move to attack the nearest cultist, flanking to get advantage if possible. If someone in the party goes down, he will move to them and cast cure wounds on them if he can reach.
Attack: 12
If Thorik can flank for advantage: 24
Damage: 9 Slashing
Extra damage for the flanking crit if he can get it: 3
Dalin gawks for a second, then closes the door. Dead guys he says to the rest of the group, pointing over his shoulder with his thumb.
Back and ready to DM and chew bubblegum. And I'm alllll outta bubblegum.
"Just...dead guys? Nothing else? We should still check them out I think. They might have something on them that we want to relieve them of."
Dalin looks sheepish. Well...there's 3 of 'em...and I think there was some stairs...
Back and ready to DM and chew bubblegum. And I'm alllll outta bubblegum.
"Three dead guys versus three live dwarves plus some extra? I say we go in." Thorik chuckles as he opens the door.
"Let me check if they're not some undead feigning movement."
Gralmor casts sacred flame at each of the pale dead bodies.

Dalin's standing right outside the door peeping in from behind the other 2.

Bulvii would be just outside the room waiting to go in with his Mace ready.
