Daewen initiative: 24

Daewen disengages and in a burst of speed, flees back to where the rest of the team is waiting (speed 80). 

Seeing Daewen suddenly turn and run back towards us "Did you find one....or more?" Arora asks?

Daewen raises her middle finger as she sprints by Arora. 

Neph init :  13 

Arorative: 21

"Dammit Daewen, does that mean one or are you just pissed at me....again?"  She decides that it's best to follow and get out of there, she takes off just like Daewen did, leaving Neph in their wake.

Zhi throws a pissed glance towards Arora, Daewen, and Nephvir as he crosses his arms and broods in a corner, muttering something under his breath about 'ensuring the cave was at least just Ropers'. 

He returns to his Clairvoyance spell and unleashes another sigh, speaking to the rest of the party - "And look how idiotic they are, running into danger. I was tempted to watch them die as retribution to their slander, though it would make the rest of you upset. I recommend we intervene and save their lives - like I have done too often," he snarls, eyes rolling back into place as he gestures towards the cavern. 

Does Neph also cowardly flee the cave?

Doc gave Zhi a stern look - a bit unnerving now due to his "new" eyes - before saying to the rest of the party, "Looks like they found them!  Let's help them out!" before running towards the mouth of the cave.

(Not sure if the group outside is actually close enough to be in initiative but here's Doc's roll just in case: 9) 

Neph remains in stealth, up against the wall.

Everyone who has not roll for initiative. It's a party with the Ropers. You young kids will have no idea what i'm talking about.

Zhi slowly drags his feet as he enters the cave, determined to be as passive-aggressive and angry as possible. It’s likely amusing, or at the very least funny to see Zhi this way. He can be intimidating when he wants to be, but the way he overdoes his normal behavior can be comedic. At times. Don’t tell him that. He can be scary when he wants to be. 

Zhinitiative: 17

Mock... has no clue what's going on. She's been staring at the water, debating whether or not if she could swim it. She totally could, she's sure of it. Hell, she's pretty sure she could drown the gnome while she's at it. Might be fun. Her head whips around as she hears Doc start running. Wait, where's the rest of the group? Swearing up a storm in Infernal, she takes off after the others, pulling her axe into her hands as she goes. Most likely, she's going to need it with whatever kinds of trouble her friends get into.

 "Oh!  There was something there after all?"  Raza glances at Zhi.

Daewen spent her first round dashing 80 feet from the ropers. Likewise, she’ll spend round #2 dashing an additional 60 feet away. So, she’s now 140 feet away. Plenty of distance to be away from the ropers melee attacks.

She’ll hide in the shadows at the end of her movement, effectively becoming invisible again.

“Of course there was, Raza. They are impossible to discern from their surroundings. They only found it because it started attacking.”

With another grumpy sigh, Zhi winds his hands in the air and unleashes a hypnotic pattern of winding, multicolored snakes through the air - as many Ropers in a 30’ cube as possible must make a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw or be incapacitated for one minute, or until they take any damage. Zhi points out to the rest - “Kill the unmoving ones last. They are under the effects of my spells.”

"Of course there was, Raza."  She mumbles in a snarky voice and pulls a face when Zhi turns away from her to cast his spell.

Daewen flees. You are effectively out of the cave now.

Roper3 and Roper1 slowly advance, moving only 10'.

"They don't move very fast, so keep your distance if possible" she draws her bow and fires two arrows at the lead Roper and then backs off a bit trying to stay at least 10 feet away from them.

Arrow Attack 1: 13 Damage: 9

Arrow Attack2 : 15 Damage: 13

Nephvir is not liking the way this is going down.  He’s going to hug the wall and stay away from the ropers, out of reach but dash out of the cave.
