Nyx's heart leaps in their chest. What a fool they were, to fly ahead alone! They are no match for these two. And they are separated from the group. Nyx tries to think quickly, how can they alert the others? If they shout for help, they will be attacked. What can they do?
An idea forms in their mind. They will try to alert the others to come, while stalling for time to avoid being attacked immediately.
Nyx touches the door behind them, flooding it with Light. Nyx hopes that the party will see this as a signal to come investigate. But the light has another effect too -- Nyx will use this to announce their presence grandly to the two figures before them.
"I am here, as summoned!" they say with the most force and confidence they can muster. "Here for the ritual to lord Bhaal!"
The man stops torturing the prisoner and calls to the woman: "Kazzira, stand to attention!"
They both squint their eyes at the sudden brightness emerging from the corridor. For a moment, they seem convinced that the words spoken by Nyxare true, then they realise that before them hovers a creature that neither of them has ever seen before, and they get ready to attack. They concentrate on Nyx and are not aware that other enemies are inside their dungeon.
"You are not one of us. Prepare to die for our Lord Bhaal!"
As the menacing words are uttered in front of Nyx, Jhasso rushes forward, getting right next to Nyx. He sees the duo, a man and a woman, ready to kill in their god's name. Jhasso calls upon the powers bestowed upon him by the natural world, ready to call forth a creature. This time, the connection with the summoned creature runs deeper than previously experienced with the owl, a more primal link.
Jhasso's right arm catches fire, but that does not hurt him. Pointing the arm at the closer of the duo, the creature is summoned, a small of prey made out entire of fire. Flames erupt all around the fiery bird. Jhasso then commands it to teleport a bit back toward the main chamber, causing even more flames to spin around.
Jhasso: Move --> Square north of Nyx (30 feet, considering Alysa as difficult terrain)
Summon Wildfire Spirit: Square south of the closer enemy: Damage within 10 feet: 6 fire, DC 13 DEX save to avoid.
Fiery Teleportation: 15 feet east, getting right southwest of the pillar. Damage within 5 feet: 6 fire, DC 13 DEX save to avoid.
Alysa runs forwards and places herself in between the fey and the opponents. She quickly assess the situation: with two warriors in front of her and with her group still dispersed, she decides to hold the position in a defensive stance. “Hoy, worms. Why don’t you pick someone your size instead of playing with a half-dead man!” she shouts.
Alysa run 30ft SW of Nyx and uses her action to dodge Bonus action: Taunting the 2 cultists.
As Bryce finally enjoys being out of the water he sees that there’s still more. “Great…” but as he begins to transverse in he sees his companions spring into action . He quickly Dash behind just short of his group.

Nyx flies back, takes to the air, and uses their natural ability. A burst of violet flight, in the shape of a flower, appears between the two worshipers of Bhaal. The petals expand outwards and dissolve into a shower of sparks, coating the two in a fey glow.
Action: Natural ability to cast Faerie fire Move: Up to the corner next to Jhasso, and up as high as the ceiling will go.
Feeling somewhat foolish for almost being devoured by mold, Hal walked down the long hall after Nyx, looking for a spore to jump out at him. It wasn’t until the way ahead lit up and everyone around him bolted ahead that he realized that his friends might be in trouble.
“Damn it Hal, keep your head out of details and stay alert. This isn’t some old tomb where flesh eating beetles are your only concern.”
Feeling a surge of adrenaline, Hal entered the edge of the room and tried to take in the chaos. Something was on fire but it was attacking one of the cultist in the room and no one seemed to be in immediate harms way. The smug look on the figure in the alcove ignited an anger that wasn’t his own. Griping hard on his ax, he stepped into the room, safely behind Alysa, and pointed the blade at the figure as a dark purple, unworldly energy erupted and stuck the cultist in the chest.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Yignath DEX: 20 Kazzira DEX: 9
This time Yignath reacts quicker than the woman and sees the fairy sending out violet light, to which he stays unaffected. Kazzira though is now enclosed in a violet aura.
Kazzira now eyes the intruders. She doesn't want to get her feet wet and shoots with her long bow at Nyx, but misses badly, the arrow dropping into the ankle deep water.
to hit: 8 for damage: 5
Then Hal releases his dark purple energy and hits Kazzira squarely in the chest. She buckles over because of the pain, but rights herself again and keeps fighting.
Jhasso drops the torch and takes the quarterstaff, all while getting next to Alysa. After enhancing the wooden weapon with nature's power, he lets it fall on the follower of Bane's head.
Jhasso (15/15)
Bonus Action: cast Shillelagh
Action: Weapon Attack --> Yignath: to hit 23, bludgeoning damage 6
Bryce watching the others move in, follows their lead. He will squeeze pass the others to face the man next to Jhasso’s fire spirit. “Your time has come face Tyr’s Justice!” Bryce will swing mace, going a bit too wide as the cultists dodges out the way.
Seeing the determination on Bryce’s face, Hal steped back to give him a little more room to swing his mace.
Still keeping eye contact with the cultist he blasted a second ago, a smile emerged on his face when his vision of her sharpened amongst a shower of fey flowers.
“Nyx, I owe you another glass of sweet wine”.
Pointing his ax, he let the arc of dark purple energy erupt again.
OOC: Eldritch blast w/ advantage 17 to hit, 7 damage.
With her target still on their feet, Alysa continues swinging her sword relentlessly. Trying to protect as much as she can Jhasso that just received a nasty hit.
Action: Longsword: 24 (6 point of slashing damage)
That attack hurt, and the pain sparks the light of memory in Jhasso's mind. A smell? Of basil?
Meanwhile, Jhasso keeps using the empowered staff against the resilient man. Still standing, Jhasso calls to the Wildfire spirit to use its power to incinerate the man while teleporting them both away.

Jhasso hears Nyx lying to someone in the other chamber. Unless the deception is successful, he readies himself to spring forward in Nyx defence.
Seeing the light ahead, Alysa holds tight to her shield and run forwards

Kazzira quickly ducks down when the fiery spirit arrives, and again moves out of the way when the spirit teleports. But the heat burns Yignath's face.

The hulking man in his chain mail tries to attack Alysa:
to hit: 17 for damage 9 - but he misses.
Nyx flies back, takes to the air, and uses their natural ability. A burst of violet flight, in the shape of a flower, appears between the two worshipers of Bhaal. The petals expand outwards and dissolve into a shower of sparks, coating the two in a fey glow.
