Agnarr takes the key and starts opening the gate, 'Antonius, I presume.'
'My fame runs before me.' the Artificer replies. 'Right, let's get out of here before Volen finds out about this.'
Hamish sees Volen, dressed for battle, heading down the passageway, just as she passes the empty and open slave pen, stepping carefully over the bodies of the two dead guards.
She moves with purpose but without seeming to hurry, her Quarterstaff clicking on the stone floor rhythmically as she walks.
At her shoulder walks another Orc, a greatsword held lazily in his hands. You get the impression he was sharing her bed this evening.
"Please tell me you've been working on something amazing to help stop her??" Ida blurts to Antonius before even asking if he's okay. Embarrassed, she remembers her manners. "Are you alright? Do they have you shackled? Do you have the strength to move quickly?"
Antonius looks sheepish. 'Well, I couldn't make the suits she wanted but...' he vanishes into his cell, 'I made this as a prototype.' he brandishes a Crossbow.
The other prisoners look at one another nervously. The Drow is the first to bolt out of the cave, and he is quickly followed by the others.
Volen enters the space. 'Oh dear. You've made quite the mess.' she announces.
Hamish breaks his own trance, sheepish that he wasn't able to warn everybody. But he lifts his hands, ready to take on the captor that has taunted and tortured them.
"Well we are quite good at it, but not as good as you. Kidnapping us was the mess you started, we are simply helping it find it's end. Enslaving people never ends well for the captors." Ida speaks confidently, facing Volen with her battle-axe in her right hand. She stands in front of Darwin and equal with Agnarr. She feels something surging through her, almost like a righteous fury. Peter is at her side, with a smirk on his face that she's seen before.
Darwin looks daggers at Volen, feeling his rage for her build. He dips into the well of power and builds the energy in his palm and sends it from the shadows flying at Volen.
He then moves away from the danger, making sure Oda and Agnarr were between him and the Orcs.
Action: Eldritch Blast, To Hit: 20[crit]+5=25 , Damage: (9+4)+3+2[hex]=18
Movement: Enough to keep Agnarr and Ida between himself and the Orcs
Volen takes the sizzling energy on the shoulder, turning her half around. She snarls as she turns back and begins to advance, transforming into a Black Bear as she does, the snarls taking on a far more animal sound.
She charges at Ida and Agnarr and attempts to claw Ida but scrapes across the same protective armor that kept her safe from the others. She then attempts to bite Agnarr, clamping her jaws around his bare arm and digging her teeth in savagely, who takes 5 damage.
The Orcs who entered from the outside of the cave system now charge forwards, each aiming for a different targets. The first strikes at Antonius, making solid contact, dealing 8 damage.
The second hits Hamish for 9
And the third attempts to flank Ida but is unable to hit her as she dances shimmies away from his strike.
Next in the initiative is Ida, then Agnarr, then Hamish.
Agnarr roars, his eyes going bloodshot again as he enters a rage, lightning crackling off his skin and arcing out to shock the bear and then swings his axe two handed over head, carving into the bear's side, sending it reeling, roaring and transforming back into Volen.
A flaming crossbow bolt whistles through the air to strike the Orc attacking Hamish, dealing 5 damage. Antonius grins as the crossbow reloads itself, the bolt seated in the chamber glowing with red steaming cracks, as if it was forged of lava.
Hamish scrambles away from the orc that struck him, gasping in pain. He conjures up the memory of freezing nights on the streets of Haukberg, and lets that chill leap from his outstretched hand.
Darwin sees Volen hurt but also beyond that can see Hamish looking in a bit of trouble. He focusses the well of energy differently, trying to stop either Volen or the Orc attacking Hamish, with luck both.
He sends out a wave of lethargy from a point south of them all, so it would just impact Volen and the Orc next to Hamish, but not cover any of his allies.
The Orc attacking Hamish and the Orc attempting to flank Ida both fall unconscious.
Volen brandishes her Quarterstaff and attempts to hit Ida and Agnarr. The staff glances off of Ida's armor harmless and gives Agnarr an underwhelming hit of 3 damage.
The Orc attacking Antonius swings his axe viciously, carving his chest open and dropping him.
Seeing Antonius fall with his chest cut open puts Ida into a place she's never been. Her fury explodes and she feels something happen, something unknown, pulse through her. Peter whispers for her to go with the feeling. She feels like she's glowing or shimmering and she locks eyes on Volen. She jumps higher than expected and it throws her balance off as she doesn't descend when she expects. She swings early and doesn't have time to line up her aim before she hits the ground.

Agnarr roars as another arc of electricity leaps from him, this time striking the one who just hit Antonius as he spins on him, slashing his axe two handed, dropping the Orc to it's knee, teeth bared and eyes defiant.
Hamish steps back from the unconscious orc and turns to take it Antonius on the ground and Ida now floating, wrathfully radiant. He looks at Volen, her appearance bestial, and feels spite and anger well up. With a quick squint of one eye and a whispered profanity, he lays a curse on Volen. Then he extends his hand after a brief flourish as a point of white hot light wavers into existence above the palm of his hand. He extends his hand and lets all the anger at their captivity rush into that fire and barely whispers, "Burn." As the flames erupt toward Volen, Hamish bends them to his will, so they will dive around his allies.

Hamish holds out the key while his eyes roll back in his head, seeking the token and trying to watch Volen.
Agnarr takes the key and starts opening the gate, 'Antonius, I presume.'

Darwin nervously looks back keeping an eye out for more Orcs, or worse, Volen.
”We need to get moving”, he says hurrying Antonius and the others.
He sticks close to Agnarr and Ida, not wanted to venture off on his own.
Perception: 12+1 = 13
Antonius looks sheepish. 'Well, I couldn't make the suits she wanted but...' he vanishes into his cell, 'I made this as a prototype.' he brandishes a Crossbow.

Hamish breaks his own trance, sheepish that he wasn't able to warn everybody. But he lifts his hands, ready to take on the captor that has taunted and tortured them.
Darwin retreats back into whatever shadows he can whilst transferring his Hex from the now dead Orc to Volen, and attempts to conceal himself.

"Well we are quite good at it, but not as good as you. Kidnapping us was the mess you started, we are simply helping it find it's end. Enslaving people never ends well for the captors."

Peter is at her side, with a smirk on his face that she's seen before.
Volen smiles, 'Well, let's end it then.' and she whistles.
Three Orc's appear from the tunnel leading outside, their Greataxe's dripping with gore.
Darwin, who has managed to go unnoticed by the new arrivals, is first in the initiative.
Darwin looks daggers at Volen, feeling his rage for her build. He dips into the well of power and builds the energy in his palm and sends it from the shadows flying at Volen.
He then moves away from the danger, making sure Oda and Agnarr were between him and the Orcs.

Next in the initiative is Ida, then Agnarr, then Hamish.
Ida takes her battle-axe in both hands against Volen/The Bear who tried to take a chunk out of Agnarr.
To Hit: 12 Damage: 8+4=12
Agnarr roars, his eyes going bloodshot again as he enters a rage, lightning crackling off his skin and arcing out to shock the bear and then swings his axe two handed over head, carving into the bear's side, sending it reeling, roaring and transforming back into Volen.
A flaming crossbow bolt whistles through the air to strike the Orc attacking Hamish, dealing 5 damage. Antonius grins as the crossbow reloads itself, the bolt seated in the chamber glowing with red steaming cracks, as if it was forged of lava.
Hamish is up
Hamish scrambles away from the orc that struck him, gasping in pain. He conjures up the memory of freezing nights on the streets of Haukberg, and lets that chill leap from his outstretched hand.
((Casting ray of frost))
The Orc who had been accompanying Volen launches a javelin at Antonius and misses, hitting the wall instead.
Next up is Darwin
Darwin sees Volen hurt but also beyond that can see Hamish looking in a bit of trouble. He focusses the well of energy differently, trying to stop either Volen or the Orc attacking Hamish, with luck both.
He sends out a wave of lethargy from a point south of them all, so it would just impact Volen and the Orc next to Hamish, but not cover any of his allies.
Action: Casts Sleep - 29 Hit Points
The Orc attacking Hamish and the Orc attempting to flank Ida both fall unconscious.
Volen brandishes her Quarterstaff and attempts to hit Ida and Agnarr. The staff glances off of Ida's armor harmless and gives Agnarr an underwhelming hit of 3 damage.
The Orc attacking Antonius swings his axe viciously, carving his chest open and dropping him.
'You ******* idiot, we need him!' Volen snarls.
The next two orcs are unconscious.
Ida is up, then Agnarr then Hamish.
Seeing Antonius fall with his chest cut open puts Ida into a place she's never been. Her fury explodes and she feels something happen, something unknown, pulse through her.

Antonius succeeds his death saving throw.
Hamish
Hamish steps back from the unconscious orc and turns to take it Antonius on the ground and Ida now floating, wrathfully radiant.
