Cool. Talion sanctuaries Onyx and moves to A6.  The portcullis lands with a resounding slam, sound echoing through the chamber. 

Erven’s up!

(( Bad taste joke, right? See OOC... ))

 again, let's really try to keep this one thread free from banter.     ;)
and yes, portcullis is still open, Talion at A6, Erven is up!

Erven stays in the room above and maneuvers beside Bert to be able to get a clear shot to Lorghoth through the portcullis.  He also calls to Lucky Bear, giving him the “come here right now mister“ look and snapping his fingers.  After he shoots he side steps toward the stairs.  

Long bow attack : Attack: 22 Damage: 11 

Animal handling : 17 

Erven, your shot punctures the skin of Lorghoth, causing a spew of acidic ichor to fly forth.  It gibbers wildly at the wound, alternately screaming and crying in pain.

At the sound of Erven's voice, Lucky Bear barks and moves away from Lorghoth and out of the room.  [I know map has her there, but in reality she is further in the reliquary...]

End of Round 3!

Round 4!

Sho, Onyx, Bertolt - you're up!

MAP

Onyx grimaces as he watches Sho falter under the macabre assault.  For a moment, he hesitates, unconsciously leaning away from the Decayer.  But he had his own protection, as well as some sort of ward from Talion.  He couldn't fail everyone now.  Keeping his shield up, he forces his feet closer to danger, stepping around Lhorgoth.  With his free hand, he reaches out, hand glowing with a soft warm light that fades as it brushes Sho's forehead.

"Awaken, friend.  Retreat.  I have it from here."

He then takes up his defensive position a step away.

(Moving to I7, LOH to give Sho 1 hit point,  then moving to H7)

Bertolt grabs his lute and begins to play the family tune, letting out a discordant hum as he puts the last of his magic into his music. He cast Dissonant Whispers on the creature in an attempt to make it flee so Sho and Onux can join them.

Dissonant Whispers  It needs to make a DC 14 wis save or take 11 Damage or half on a save.

 Lorghoth WIS save - 13 

...aaaaaand a fail!  

Lorghoth retreats back into its lair down south!!!

Sho is up!

Sho coughed a small knot of blood up into the muddy water, and he felt Onyx’s warmth enter his lungs where each breath was like stinging needles. He fought with himself to open his eyes, and caught quick glance of the magic compelled Lorghoth fleeing south. He reaches out with his blood stained hand and fires a quick spell, then forces himself back onto his feet. He gives Onyx a deep, solemn look, that could’ve said a lot of things, before he turns back and retreats back north, boots slapping against the thick, dead water.

AOO (if it applies): Sacred Flame Dex Save 13 or 4 radiant

Action: dash to C5

Lorghoth DEX save - 8

Erven shouts out "I have a hunting trap, perhaps I could put it on the exit from the cells if it goes that way, or at the base of the stairs.  Talion, can I have the hammer to drive in a piton?  In a minute, when you have a chance."  

At the jarring conclusion of Bertolt's song, Talion watches in amazement as the Thing moves away from Sho. His eyes dart to the bard, then follow Sho's agonizing progress. With each step his eyes widen, half expecting the creature to attack, but no attack comes. When Sho finally makes it to the room he shakes his head, "Warrior came though at last, eh? And the old man." he nods in the direction of Bert. I need to understand what he does. He clears his throat and offers Sho his potions back. "Think you need these more than me." His mind seems to be elsewhere, perhaps it is the effort of working with so many spells recently.

He then answers Erven's question in a monotone, his gaze never leaving the Thing, "No problem."

(( If he can also hand the hammer to Erven now, he does ))

Sho gives the dog a wary look, before turning to Talion. He closes his eyes briefly to find his footing again, and wipes off the blood off the corner of his mouth indifferently, leaving messy scarlet smear covering the lower half of his face. He didn’t really comment, but from the relaxed furrows between his brows, he seems more grounded to see Talion again nonetheless. His long fingered hand takes one vial of potion from the man with the slightest hesitation, “Thanks.” He replies softly. He looks beyond the corridor, gazed fixed on Onyx in the dimly lit water chamber, and the giant lumbering mass of flesh further into the darkness. 

Talion smiles and nods, then looks down at the dog. Huh. He suspects it too...why did he try to save it?

Erven grips Sho’s arm and looks him straight away in the face, (which is battered and beaten), their eyes lock and he gives him a big smile and says “Glad you are with us!”  He squeezes his arm just a little and then goes back to eyes on the Thing, bow up and ready to shoot.

Lorghoth DEX save - 3

- Lorghoth in unable to avoid the cleric's divine fire and it burns for the full affect.
- Lorghoth takes 3 fire damage.
- Engraged, Lorghoth moves forward 15 feet and sees another object of its hate: Onyx.   With all of you running away, having denied the ritual, with Onyx the only one left in the room, you hear Lorghoth emit a strange and extremely loud shriek.  You cover your ears as you move out and through the reliquary.  Onyx and anyone else with a view into the room see the apparitions blink out of existence with a "pop!'   More concerning, you feel and hear something happening way above you - a low rumbling, the odd sound of cracking wood, as if the very house itself was moving.  Being deep down here two levels below muffles the sound a bit, but something is definitely happening up there, evidenced by the fine streams of sand and dirt that begin to float down from the ceiling.....
Wisdom save - 17
.(17).......Instead of moving up fully, it will stop with Onyx within 15 feet.  Lorghoth begins to heave and retch - the sound is extremely uncomfortable.  It breathes in and then spews forth a stream of gore from its mouth. Its path is HIJ7.   Pieces of rotting flesh and stomach acids fly forward, drenching Onyx in the smelly ichor...
*Onyx, make a DEX saving throw - DC14.  On a fail, take 5 acid damage and become blinded for 1 round.   Take half as much damage on a success.  

SHO - you make it to D6

Talion (movement only) and Erven are up!

Onyx Dexterity Saving Throw: 10

Onyx Concentration Check: 13

Onyx Dexterity Saving Throw: 10

 You are blinded!
Take full damage (5).

Talion (to confirm move/item handling) and Erven up!

Talion hands a potion to Sho then as the creature vomits, he gasps, "It's vomiting on Onyx...a long line of vomit. Ugh."

Since the creature stops only a few paces from its refuge he decides to make an attack. He then moves to get a clear line of sight and launches a bolt of arcane energy at it, then -- if he had to move -- retreats back into the reliquary, allowing anyone else who might want to attack some space.

Move: B6(5)-C6(15)-D6(20)
Eldritch Blast: 19 Damage: 10 + 4 (necrotic) + 2 (bludgeon)
Move: C5(25)-B5(30)

(( Note:
(1) If he has a clear line of sight even with Bert in C6, then he wont move before attacking, and will remain where he is.
(2) If he has to move, and Sho is in C5, then the second part of movement is C7-B7

 Sho ignored the elf.
