This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Grunomar steps forward, swords sheathed and his hands out to calm the guards. "I'm sorry to intrude, we are just looking for some friends that were attacked and carried off by these creatures. We mean you no harm. Who is your master?"
Anvil keeps one metal hand on his mace as they wait for a response. The safe assumption is that these two know about the creatures yet they stay here nonetheless.
Gaetana is surprised by the sudden appearance of actual live beings in this cavern that they find themselves in. She hangs back when Gruno starts talking and waits to hear their reply.
Not dropping their weapons "H..how did you get past the others? the human stammers out. The half orc elbows him and tries to quietly say "Shut it Freb. I bet she'll reward us if we bring her new ones" He turns back to you all. "You'll need to come with us....um.....visitors aren't allowed in here." He takes a very small step forward and with a little effort raises his weapon just a little.
He quickly steps back, his weapon dips just a little before he brings it back up even higher. The human speaks up "There's no prisoners here, no one ever comes in here. No one ever leaves. Just the eternals..." his voice seems to go up an octave.
"I said shut it Freb." the half orc says, seeming to find a bit more courage, never taking his eyes off you all "Mevmas decides what happens in here, now you all come with me." And he steps forward again about 15 ft from you.
The human takes a visible step back as the large warforged steps up. The half orc seems to be growing bolder. Looking directly at you two "She will reward me greatly when I bring you to her." You both see (with your high passive perception) that his eyes seem to be much more dilated than they were a few minutes ago and they are open very wide. "Drop your weapons now!" He is going to move in to try and take your weapons. If there is anything you'd like to try let me know, otherwise If you don't want him to take your weapons go ahead and roll initiative.
"You suffer from some form of mind control," Anvil remarks to the half-orc. "The Becoming God will cleanse the world of your master's kind. It is an exceedingly low probability that you will be around to enjoy that future."
Gruno shakes his head, "I thought you might see reason, but perhaps you don't have the mental capacity to understand. Perhaps you don't even have the will to even try?"
Gruno slides out his short swords as they come closer.

"Show me how you think you're going to take my axe!" Sulfuas charges the nearest one, recklessly attacking with his greataxe and swiping again with each roar.
Attack: 27 Damage: 15
Attack: 30 Damage: 20 + Brutal Critical 1 damage (first Brutal Critical and it's a fail)

Sulfas runs up roaring at the two. Swinging his axe he disembowls and then beheads the half orc. Entrails splash across him and the human male who immediately turns ghost white.
Anvil steps up and goes to swing at the human cultist but manages to miss as he falls to his knees seeing the other killed in such an easy fashion.
His dagger drops to the floor "Ple..please.... don't kill me. I swear I've been wanting to leave but they never let me. The vampires and eternals constantly fighting, I.. I...just want to go home...." he says beginning to openly weep.
(Anvil you can speak or take another action beside attacking if you'd like because you didn't know the outcome of Sulfas turn)
Gaetana sheaths her rapiers and looks at the man with disgust. "Stop your belly-aching. Tell us what we want to know, starting with where the flying creatures would have taken our charges."
Vampires and eternals? Anvil thinks to himself. New information that changes his calculations.
“This fighting is between two warring factions? Your master is an eternal and she is at war with these vampires? Do both the vampires and the eternals make use of the dwarves?”
Anvil now wonders if the first two dwarves were examples of what happens when an eternal animates the dead.
Still weeping "Memvas leads us, she serves Orcas. The eternals are the dwarves that were here when we came. I dont know nothin of any flying creatures taking anybody. I a'vent seen anyone alive in months besides some of us. Are you gonna kill me......." He full on breaks down in tears and sobs
"I have paid little attention to other deities since I was awoken by the Becoming God," Anvil says. "I assume Orcus is such a one. The voice has never spoke of such a creature to me."
Anvil moves closer to the man kneeling, kicking his dropped dagger into the corner as he does.
"Which way is Memvas?" Anvil asks and looks around at the others. "If she is in charge she may have our employers."

"Oh no you don't!" Gaetana moves past her group and with weapons in hand and ready, she adds, "tell us where you take your prisoners"
He quickly steps back, his weapon dips just a little before he brings it back up even higher. The human speaks up "There's no prisoners here, no one ever comes in here. No one ever leaves. Just the eternals..." his voice seems to go up an octave.

Anvil raises his mace and steps forward to support Gaetana. He readies himself for a lunge by the two men.
"Mevmas is a vampire, yes?" Anvil says to Freb. "The head vampire. And you serve them?"
Anvil contemplates this for a moment.
"Where is Mevmas? We can go see her ourselves."

Anvil Initiative: 16
Gaetana stifles a laugh as Anvil addresses them. Man, he sure has a way with words, she thinks. Well, at least these will bleed like she's used to...
Gaetana Initiative: 10
Gruno shakes his head, "I thought you might see reason, but perhaps you don't have the mental capacity to understand. Perhaps you don't even have the will to even try?"
Gruno slides out his short swords as they come closer.
Initiative: 12
"So kill now? Good, I was getting bored," Sulfas states as he grips his axe turning to the enemy, "Come and get it if you dare,"
Initiative: 15

Vulcan, growing tired of all the talking and ready for action you are the first to act.

He then steps forward, quickly, squaring off against the one Sulfuas didn’t attack.
Anvils’s mace snaps upwards, swinging for the head. The mace crackles with fiery energy.
Bonus Action: Cast Searing Smite
Action: Attack: 11 Damage: 5 plus 1 fire damage from Divine Strike. Plus 1 fire damage from Searing Smite.

Gaetana you are up.
