Alexa winks at the crackle of electricity across her skin and touches her amulet, whispering a soft word in Celestial as a pillar of golden light shoots down from the sky at the remaining quasit.
DC 19 Dex ST or 10 radiant damage.
The cleric then flicks a finger across her burns, which seal up a bit as she casts healing word and regains 12 hp.
Chronolo’s mechanisms momentarily short-circuit at the jolt of electricity. Nevertheless, Chronolo jerkily extends a robotic palm, sending three cracks of grey energy into the remaining enemies. Little sparks of its own electricity can be seen amidst the swath of Eldritch Blast.
"Hmmm. That's one," Alexa observes. "Which leaves two more drow somewhere here. Shall we look for them?" She moves to head out of the 1 set of rooms and towards 2A.
Used to dodging bolts of lightning during aggressive thunderstorms that would randomly appear in the Feywild, Diesa managed to jump out of the Drow's magic to avoid the worst of the blast. By the time she had regained her footing and looked for someone to strike, she saw that everyone had already taken care of the ambushers. Stowing her swords, she turned to the others and said, "I keep forgetting how deadly you folks are. But I think we're still one Drow short. But I think we're only missing one..." as she pointed at the second elven remain. Then seeing the others begin to head off, she scanned the immediate area for any signs of another invisible enemy before following their lead. (Perception: 23)
As Alexa heads out to AREA 2, Fistborkus appears from around the cave bend, carrying another sign. It stops, sits, and waits for you to read it.
"HALT, WENCH. BEHIND ME LIES A CREATURE SO UGLY AND MALFORMED, BANE HIMSELF WOULD SMITE IT FOR UGLINESS ALONE. I WOULD TELL YOU TO PROCEED WITH CAUTION, BUT YOU WON'T, RIGHT? I'M SUCH A SMART DOG."
AREA 2 - NATURAL CAVES
As you approach AREA 2A, Plum's worst nightmares come true. A hideously deformed Duergar attacks you all! Roll for initiative! This creature appears to have once been two separate duergar, a male and a female named. Someone, or something, has fused them together into a single creature. Both skulls have merged into one bulbous head that has three ears, three eyes, two noses, and two mouths. It has a third arm on the right side of its body, and its left leg splits into two at the knee, giving it three feet. The transformation has apparently drove this monstrosity insane!
Alexa reads the note and proceeds without an ounce of hesitation or hastiness, going about this with the same methodical determination she seems to set about everything with.
Still hidden in the shadows, it's a challenge, but Gnomon manages to stifle a giggle when she sees the cute punchin' puppy. Passing by without comment, she quickly changes her attitude when seeing the hideous monster approach the team. What vile being did this to these creatures?
Somewhere, someplace, a small part of Chronolo’s brain is ticking. It didn’t fear the Duergar that were visible - it was the invisible ones that were the most concerning. And, much like rats, for every Duergar you see, there are 50 you don’t.
Caim grasps the anchored medallion hanging on the chain around his neck as he extends a hand out toward the monstrosity. "Sashelas of the Deep, I am your vessel!" he yells out as the tattoos encircling his arms light up and very air around him becomes charged. A storm cloud forms mystically above the duergar as a bolt of lightning shoots forth at the fiend. Caim then steps quickly behind the others, putting a few meat shields between himself and the monstrosity.

Chronolo's blasts annihilate the last drow, and combat has ended, leaving nothing but a pile of ash and a few dead bodies.
Well done. Pick a new location to explore.
