Vicros looks back to the others. "We can follow him when he goes to serve them and make our move then? They definitely won't be expecting him to come with back up."

"Best to leave him here and just go ourselves though, isn't it?" Nikola offers with a smile, "No sense in putting him in harms way when things get rough. I say we just walk right in swinging. They'll hear the door and assume it's the food, but they won't like what we're serving."
Nikola thinks for a moment, "Obviously I've never tried this before, but I think I have something that should do quite nicely. If we can get the drop on them I should be able to soften them up for you, then you all come in after."
You all head out of the room going a bit slower now considering the new information you come upon the door, listening in you can't hear anything for the moment, what do you all do?

Nikola puts his hand on the door knob, looking back to the group and raises a hand with 3 fingers up and mouths, "1... 2... 3..." as he ticks down each finger. Nikola throws the door open, light from his shield pointing forward. Assuming there is a tight grouping of people, Nikola will move into position and prepare to cast thunderwave as soon as it's his turn in combat.
You all burst into the room, coming upon 5 robed figures sitting around a table chatting and waiting for the food. As the door opens one looks over raising his hand seemingly to berate you thinking you were Aiden as Nikola you stomp you foot onto the ground, releasing a wave of thunder from your shield, as he is thrown backwards along with two others as near every object in the room hitting the one's furthest to the left and right with a pieces of cups and spoons, many now very broken and acting as almost shrapnel, even the table being flipped over the heads of the two that managed to stay steady against the thunderwave, as H4NK your chill touch fly's past one of them as they duck under it. (Burl role dmg) Nikola, Vicros, and H4NK since you were sort of upfront take you have one surprise turn (H4NK and Nikola i'll say you guys already took your actions so only movement and BA) Everyone else, Role Initiative.
(Sidenote: I rolled the saves and other minor things irl to keep it more cinematic but once we're in combat i'll roll all of it on here. Plus i like any excuse to use my dice lol.)
Surprise Turn: Vicros immediately lunges towards one of the men not affected by the blast and stabs with one of his daggers (using sneak attack since I assume we're in a 5ft radius of the enemy.. if not, disregard the extra 1d6 damage.)
Attack: 24 Damage: 17

Vicros you jump forward as the thunderwave goes off, following behind it as it spreads through the room. 3 of the men going down with the force of the thunderwave as it slams them into the wall. Still alive but sure as hell unconscious. Vicros you jump into one of the disoriented figure, not a human but some sort of Gnoll, piercing into it's gut killing it. The final cultist a female elf putting her hands up and backing away seeing her 4 colleagues die before her. "Please, i'll tell you all you need just don't kill me."She says
(Jesus Christ y'all, seriously didn't expect you guy's to get 4 KILLS in a surprise round against slightly buffed cultists lol)

Vicros pulls the dagger out of the Gnoll and flings whatever blood and guts are on it onto the floor. He now points to the female elf. "Your plan is a good one. Talk now, tell us everything. Or I've still got another dagger I haven't used yet."

"Ive heard it both ways."

Bruce gives a nod, "Sounds good with me. Should I go first again? Or do one of you magic types have something that can get them all in one shot?"
Nikola thinks for a moment, "Obviously I've never tried this before, but I think I have something that should do quite nicely. If we can get the drop on them I should be able to soften them up for you, then you all come in after."
Vicros points the way... "Well then friend, lead the way. We'll be right behind you." Vicros prepares his daggers...

H4NK agrees, “I am compatible with Physical altercations, but do best from... a far.”

As Nikola is doing his countdown, Vicros quickly puts a cigarette on his lip and clenches.. he nods back and follows

H4NK will prepare chill touch. As a black and icy robotic hand appears next to him. Mist rising from the frozen spectral hand.
Attack: 9 Damage: 3

(I didn't even do anything XD)
Bruce just looks around at the laid out bodies, a little disgruntled, but he backs everyone up and stares at Vicros as he speaks to the elf woman.
