With Samuel's magic washing over her (literally) it can clearly be seen that Ranala is a fairly pretty gnome, and her hair was no longer messy which greatly brightened her mood. Her bloody and worn clothes now pristine. She wore a simple pair of boots, britches, and a bodice warn over a long sleeved shirt. Upon being released from her prison, she'd accept the tools happily, strapping them to her belt, however she'd slightly pull the collar of her bodice and bend her arm down into the collar. Looking up to avoid eye-contact, she'd pull her hand out to produce a tiny, polished stick adorned with viney patterns. "Thank you all, just give me a moment..." She'd hum, tracing the wand over her collar and neck. The wand would faintly glow with swampy green energy which would spread throughout her skin and slowly close her wounds.
She'd smile, slowly staggering to her feet. "The only thing I was capable of hiding from the cultists. Nature's chest." She'd give a toothy grin, proud of her pun. "Only way I was surviving really."

"My name is Ankita, I'm glad you're up to going with us" she looks around the space they are in, finally noticing the other door "have you seen what is beyond that door? Are you ready to go on with us through it?" Peering around the room, she looks to see if she has missed anything else.

All - The door to the north is unlocked and Rhogarr steps through it. As he turns the corner to the east he locks eyes with male cultist holding a mace in one hand and a lit torch in the other. The man curses and makes to dash southward!
I will roll initiative for everyone as this is a time-sensitive event.
Fist of Bane: 15
Rhogarr: 13
Damian: 5
Remi: 18
Ankita: 19
Ranala: 18
Samuel: 18
Initiative order is as follows:
Remi
Rhogarr
Samuel
Fist of Bane
Ranala
Damian
Ankita
Remi is up! Followed by Rhogarr (kqstark may post for him if kingdracon is unable to pre-post), then Samuel!
All - You can move through another player's space, but it is considered difficult terrain and costs double movement speed to traverse.
Ranala - I used Orange for your token but if you would rather use a different color, please let me know.
Samuel will close the distance (leaving space for a more suitable melee combatant to get in range if possible) enough to see the fleeing cultist and say, “Only cowards flee.” As he cast vicious mockery.

Remi the swift runs after the cultist with the idea of preventing him from getting away, trying to trip him going down any stairs. After he trips him he plans on jumping on his back.
Acrobatics. : 23

Remi - Fist of Bane DEX Check: 10
The well-armored man is surprisingly dexterous, deftly dodging your trip.
You may still attack him if you wish (we'll say the attempt to trip costs 10ft of movement). You can make it to the square just west of him with your remaining movement (accounting for difficult terrain and the trip).
Ranala and her tiny gnome legs can't travel far. So once she was able to get down the steps, she was already too late and can only see her 2 companions. The only thing she can think about doing for now was to poke the closest person with her wand and mutter to them. "You were able to get this far and save me, you can get this jerk."
She would then cast Guidance on the closest person on Remi.
After hearing Ranala make a bosom related pun and offering words of encouragement to her allies while simultaneously cutting down the foe, Samuel realizes this might be what love feels like. (Joking, but Samuel would instantly become very fond of this gnome lol)
"How sweet." Damian mutters to Sam as he follows Remi and Rhogarr down the stairs. "Where did he go?Why didn't you catch him?" He says, fuming as he realizes the cultist is about to slip away. "Stop him Master Turnuroth."
"You've got that right" Ankita says to Ranala and she dashes by all her friends as she tries and hunts down the Fist of Bane. (I think for 55 feet I'm two squares south of Rhogarr) She sees her target making his escape down the hallway and she calls out, "not so fast" and conjures up her wildfire element again. Ankita makes him appear above the zealot attacking him with fire damage. After creating her fox, she takes her last 5 feet of motion and moves into the rubble South so she is not in the way of the rest of the group.

Ankita - Fist of Bane DEX Save w/Advantage: 14
ADV: 17
The man barely dodges the shower of sparks spawned by Ankita's Wildfire Spirit.
Remi is up! Followed by Rhogarr (kqstark can post his actions), then Samuel.
I'm not sure what the heck this thing wants from me, I've edited the post every which way I can to return it to the original pre-warning state and I still get the cheater warning. The man failed the first save then succeeded with the ADV roll.

"A resourceful one, excellent." Damian says seeing Ranala prepare herself. "We should move on, Master Turnuroth lead the way."

While the Fist of Bane is reeling from Remi's attack, Rhogarr slides past Remi and attempts to grapple him.

Remi - While the man is focused on dodging your trip, you thrust your shortsword under his armor and deeply into his back.
Rhogarr - Fist of Bane STR Athletics check: 12

Samuel will dash as close as he can to chase the man.
Samuel - You're able to make it to the foot of the eastern stairs. You have line of sight and can use a Bonus Action if you have one.
Remi runs after the man and uses his guidance from Ranala to try and trip the Fist of Bane again.

If able, he will make a short sword attack again.
