This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Wishing they had not come right out with it, Falken will rest his hand on his hammer, getting ready to throw down if it comes to it. He stands off close to the building, trying to hide behind the others.
Victor cocks his head and looks at Otis, "Do we know each other friend? Yes, my name is Victor, not that I expected anyone else to know me. Where are the magic items he was sent to retrieve?" He glances around and locks eyes on Klok for a moment before Falken slightly scatters some small rocks by the house drawing his attention. He grins for a moment before saying, "Did you lot come here looking for a fight?" He glances around at everyone and assumes a partial combat stance.
Roy calls out. ”Patricia? Are you there?”
"No one else is here, just us. I'll take those magic items now..."
Roy narrows his eyes. “Victor - if that’s even your name- I have reason to believe you may have harmed Patricia. If she is, you can expect nothing less than the punishment you deserve.”
Gillian arrives in the back, still 60 ft away from whatever is happening when he sees what seems to be an aggressive stance from whoever this is. He mentally prepares himself for battle, unsure how powerful this being might be, but willing to do what must be done.
He readies-his-action to cast mind sliver upon the enemy.
Otis smiles back continuing his swaying stance. It takes all of his willpower not to ask more questions, as here may be someone who could answer questions about the shielding. Better though to let Roy do the questioning until Victor is under control or Patricia and the infant are located.
Slowly creeping forward from his position on the right flank in his swaying motion stance. The conflict of restraining himself on his face.
Still taking the Dodge action. Also trying to subtly move up 15 feet. I picture it as we came around the side of the house and Otis moved to the right of the group 30 feet more into the yard and now moves 15 feet forward out in front of the house and the porch. Hopefully to divide his attention. Let me know if I have it wrong.
Falken, getting the feeling that he had been seen makes his way out front. His hammer in his hand. "Geez Louise! I only wanted to try and fix this poor house here, but you out here making it so difficult. You want this stupid magic item, here! Take it! I don't know what it does anyways. I think you have to breath it in for some sort of magical breath weapon thing, but I was too afraid to try it. Maybe you aren't too scared to." Falken takes out the flask and lightly, underhand tosses it to Victor. Still having his hammer in his free hand.
Victor's hand lashes out like a snake, snatching the bottle from the air as it comes close. As it touches his hand, there is a quick spark of light that flickers for a brief moment before he turns to Grahl and says, "Search whatever you like, I already said there was no one else he-aaargh!" The last of his words are cut off in a snarl as the bottle in his hand begins to thrum faintly with an ominous sound and flickering blue light. Dumbfounded he stares at the item in his hand as the sound begins to oscillate faster while the glowing light begins to pulse along with the sound.
Gillian:
The voice you have been hearing in your head speaks up, panic in it's tone. "This is not good. You need to run! I don't think you are ready for this!"
Victor stands there with a horrified look on his face, that slowly turns into a large grin as the sound and light from the bottle begins to pulse faster and faster until finally it explodes. A ringed pulse of blue energy expands outwards ten feet then slows down and retracts, the energy flowing backwards and slamming into Victor and absorbing into his flesh. Before your eyes he grows about a foot taller, hair growing on his arms, hands and face. His eyes begin to glow gold as claws grow from his fingertips and his mouth opens to display fangs. His hair grows thicker and longer almost like a mane as his face distorts into feline like qualities. The transformation stops abruptly as he stands there, breathing hard as if changing was physically exhausting. He looks up and stretches his arms out, flexing his fingers. He looks around at each of you and settles on Klok again. "The amulet, give it to me!" ,he snarls as he hunkers down as if getting ready to pounce.
Klok not understanding why Falken threw the bottle to Victor trusts his judgment. Klok hearing Victor snarl at him for the amulet takes a few steps back holding the amulet around his neck while looking around for an escape route if need be. "Victor tell us what you want with these items....This belonged to my grandmother...I don't believe she left it for you to have....You realize others are after these as well, yes? Klok quietly tells the younglings to be careful
Grahl lifts his shield a bit as he tries to cover his eyes from the blue light.
After seeing the transformation Grahl takes a step back
How.. he mumbles What are you..
instinctivly he then moves to the side trying to get in between Victor and Klok. Blocking a direct path. Grahl grips his shield a bit firmer, bringing it closer to himself. Unsure what this being had become.
Otis moves in keeping low but moving faster than others have seen him move before moving not only up to the creature Victor became but partially circling him as Otis engages. Otis throws punch after punch in rapid succession trying to draw Victor into a melee and up onto the porch. Hoping his maneuver behind Victor provides one of the others a flanking opportunity.
Otis moves 40 feet.
Action unarmed strike: Attack: 15 Damage: 8
Bonus action: spend 1 Ki point to activate Flurry of blows. 2 additional unarmed strikes: Attack: 14 Damage: 5
Gillian hides behind whatever he can find, knowing there is really only 1 ability of his that can help this battle, and that is dissonant whispers. If everyone is dogpiling on victor, and he can get him just right, they perhaps he can both have victor retreat from his dissonant words, as well as allow his Allies to inflict the maximum amount of damage into the powerful being.
Besides that the best gillian might do is stay out of the way, and throw some mind sliver while popping out from behind cover. He makes sure to stay within a turn’s distance of casting (60ft away) but isn’t keen to move closer.
Falken, a little concerned his plan didn't work, he looks around, almost hoping no one saw it, then starts to back up a bit, getting his Acid Splash ready.

Klok noticed Victor lock eyes and wonders how much Victor knows about what is happening

Grahl walks casually moving in closer to Victor but staying at 20ft distance. Not trying to hide from him at all.
As Falken tosses Victor the bottle Grahl will add We are here for the woman and child. We need not fight, will you allow us to search the home?

Gillian messages Klok privately:
”unless we make an extremely coordinated attack, I don’t think we can take him, even 6 on 1…”
…and awaits his reply. he goes through his own abilities in his mind…
Klok messages Gillian back
"I fear you are right especially not knowing what the vial has done....I am unsure how we get out of this"

Klok continues to move and spread out 60 feet away from Victor and the others. He prepares himself for battle and hopes to keep the younglings alive
