Baudric stands by the fire to warm himself and dry out a bit from all the mist but looks around at the sound of voices, "Baba Lysaga is the one we're looking for, and, strange as it might sound, I'm more inclined to trust the threat we know over the seemingly innocent surrounded by those watchdogs."
Someone has built a ramshackle wooden hut on the stump of what was once an enormous tree. The rotting roots of the stump thrust up from the mire like the legs of a gigantic spider.
An open doorway is visible on one side of the hut, beneath which floats the upside-down, hollowed-out skull of a giant. Flanking the hut’s doorway are two iron cages that dangle like hideous ornaments from the eaves. Scores of ravens are trapped in each one. They squawk and flutter their wings excitedly as you approach.

I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.
Robin casts bless on herself, Bral, and Baudric. She then moves forward, to within 30 feet of Baba Lysaga. Buddy moves up next to Robin, pressing his nose against her side, using Council of the Past. (Robin can add a D4 to one ability check she makes in the next ten minutes.)
(OOC: if anyone wishes to be moved around the battlefield, just let Robin know. She has vortex warp prepared.)

(Bral: 18)
Bral steps forward in front of the group, "Baba Lysaga, I presume. I do not think it would be wise for you to attack us. We've come here for one reason, give it to us now and we will be on our way."

Rose you cast Bless and move toward Baba Lysaga.
Keldon, you open the cage, freeing the ravens who fly toward Lysaga. Three of the ravens materialize into druids, one human, one tortle, and one dragonborn, while a swarm flies toward Lysaga.
Moments before she's attacked, Lysaga looks at you Bral and says, "I don't understand the question and I won't respond to it. She turns as Amelia lands two solid cuts into her.
Lysaga turns to Amelia and screams," You stupid #*@&@&." She commands the skull to fly. If Amelia wants to take an AOO, she can.
In the air, she raises her finger.
1
She points to Amelia as tentacles erupt around him in a 20-foot radius. I'll need a Dex save DC 17. If you fail you take 6 bludgeoning damage and you're restrained.
Lysaga then shouts," I'd invite you in for a drink but it looks like my house has other ideas."
The giant roots beneath the hut come to life and pull themselves up out of the mire. The hut and the roots lurch and groan, becoming a lumbering mass that cracks as it walks, crushing all in its path.
The hut can't take any actions this round.
Rose will cast Hunter's Mark fire a few arrows at Lysaga.
Attack: 13 Damage: 10
Hunter's Mark - 3

"We have to incapacitate the hut by removing the gem," Ez says as she runs toward the house to and tries to climb on the legs.
Athletics 9
Flynt follows and tries to climb into the hut.
Athletics 7
The human druid sees Rose and Thorn before seeing Amelia. "Here, let me help."
Walter tries to Dispel Lysaga's tentacles - 15
The dragonborn druid casts Moonbeam on Lysaga
Nesnie's Moonbeam Damage - 13
The tortle druid raises his hands and calls lightning that strikes the skull
Baudric races over to the hut and gets ready to help someone up into the hut.
Baudric, you get there and help Flynt who's struggling to get into the hut.
Flynt - 18
Flynt and Ez are inside.
Round 2 Actions for Amelia, Bral, Rose, and Keldon.
Baba Lysaga is up 40 feet in the air in the Giant Skull, but she looks pretty rough. The Giant Skull also took some damage. There's also the walking hut.
DM, By 'Rose' do you mean 'Robin? I am getting confused as you tend to be calling Robin Rose... Also, how big is that skull the hag is riding in? Could someone else fit in it with her? One other thing, Robin has counterspell and would have used it last round on the spell the hag cast, but I was not given a chance to do so, with all of the NPCs going at that same time and making it not worth the reworking of it all to bring it up then. I just want to call it out now for future spells the hag casts. It was why I moved closer to her to begin with after all, so Robin was within counterspell range.

Bral whispers the rest of the party, "I guess Baba Lysaga is the one residing in the hut. I'm not sure who would be in the mansion though."

Looking toward the hut, you see the following:
Someone has built a ramshackle wooden hut on the stump of what was once an enormous tree. The rotting roots of the stump thrust up from the mire like the legs of a gigantic spider.
An open doorway is visible on one side of the hut, beneath which floats the upside-down, hollowed-out skull of a giant.

They squawk and flutter their wings excitedly as you approach.

Keldon walks closer to the hit.
“Hello? May we come in?”
Paladin - warforged - orange
A moment of silence passes and you hear a "No."
A swarm of flies passes you before stopping at a skull. The swarm materializes into a woman with green skin and a scowl.
Keldon, you hear a voice in your mind that you think is coming from nearby.
Hey big man, we're coming from the cage. If you and your friends want to stand a chance against this lady, you'll let us out.
"You burned my scarecrows and trespass on my land," Baba Lysaga says. "I was looking forward to killing you later, but I suppose I can kill you now."
I need everyone to Roll Initiative If you're higher than 19 take your action.
