Joren's main action attack from echo's new position, at disadvantage: Attack: 15 Damage: 11
After a sideways thrust into one of the rat-men on his attack of opportunity from his echo, Joren pulls Ashley back behind him (if she is willing) and stands between the rat-man and her. In his daze, he is worried about the artificer but notices the bespectacled half-orc scrambling away. He also wishes he could return the favor that Marion did for him, but he knows no healing or spells. Only his echo.
He re-summons his echo with a bonus action after 2 of the rat-men had attacked it, one hitting to dissipate it. He positions the echo on the other side of the rat-man opposite him, probably in the middle of the gas, which is fine. He attacks from the echo's position behind the rat-man (OOC: though I'm not sure that echoes can get a flanking bonus. I don't think so). See attack action at disadvantage above.
"Throwing everything at them we can, we must be doing. But if running we must, I am feeling unsure. But possibly moving the back bookshelf may be opening a passageway?"
The rat-man swinging at Marion (1) takes a blow from the echo's greatsword to its thigh as it scores a vicious hit on the paladin. As it recovers from the blow, it begins clawing frantically at its one good ear as Ashley's spell hits it. Likewise, the rat-man advancing through the door starts shrieking at an ungodly volume as if to drown out the sound. Samir and Ashley both manage to hold their breath in time as they escape the gas, though can still catch a lingering whiff of its sharp, acrid scent. Through the doorway, back out in the store room, they can see that more of the room is filled with that gas than not, and the clouds are still expanding
(Everyone give me an intelligence check DC 12 and 15)
(Also, everyone is now through the door except for noble Marion, the last line of defence, though she's taken a decent amount of damage, needs to contend with the gas, and the two rat-men outside the door (1 and 5) have their AoO back. The rat-man in the doorway (6) is swaying unsteadily and looks in very bad shape. For the door to close, the rat-man would either need to be killed or moved out of the way.)

Intelligence check for Vilus 18/11
Athletics to shove see below, 13
Vilus sees what unfolds before him with Joren swapping around with this echo and most people in through the door, he decides on a different course of action throwing his crossbow to one side it's fall interrupted catching on the strap it is attached to and swinging behind him into his cloak once more, Vilus brings two meaty hands up and runs at the door attempting to shove the Ratman back and out of the way, prone if possible.. whilst contesting the beast his bass tones boom forth from his hood once more, "Lady get your ass in here, we need to close this door", Marion hears his voice pierce her mind before the sound reaches her ears, causing a strange echo in her head.
Too busy looking over her shoulder to make sure her companions get to the safety of the room Marion leaves an opening for one of the rat beasts who rakes her down her left arm. Doing her best to supress the pain she lets out a stifled grunt, but her vision starts to go hazy for a moment and she feels her concentration slip on the spell she was maintaining.
Shaking her head she tries to clear her mind, but the insidious gas is starting to affect her. Coupled with her wounds, and the weariness that seeps deep into her bones, she feels her senses dulling. Fighting right to the last moment she drops down to her knees, holding herself up with her shield and her injured arm and trying with what little strength she has left to push herself up.
Realising that her strength is about to fail, and unwilling to let her friends down, she lifts her left hand into the air and shakily extends it in the direction of the rats. "Q’invagamdzle titebi!"She speaks, as a blast of icy wind bursts forth from her hand and filing the room before her.
Another moment later and the fight is lost, the young woman having already collapsed on the ground.
11 frost damage in a 15ft cone, DC 13 con save for half.
Malachi reaches forward to help Samir as he stumbles into the room, and watches Marion fall as the knight is overcome by the green cloud. What is that gas? Whatever it is, he tries to stay far away from it. Looking up at the rat creatures in the haze, he moves his lips in muttered sounds that Samir and the others cannot hear, but fills two of the rat creatures with fear and pain.
Spends 1 sorcery point to twin cast [Tooltip Not Found] targeting the rat in the doorway and the rat closest to Joren’s Echo. 10 psychic damage and moves away as far its speed allows. Half damage and no movement away on a DC 14 Wis Save. Intent is to allow Joren’s Echo an AoO.
After he helps Samir up, he moves back toward the bookshelf, heeding the warrior’s call for a path to escape “How does it open?”
Marion's Icy blast strikes howls past the two rat-men in front of her. Frost forms in their fur and whiskers, and their skin blisters under the cold, but they seem to filled with violence to be deterred by the icy onslaught (they take 5 damage each). As Marion goes down, the last thought before her mind goes to black is about the rat-men and their new-found ferocity. Having seen the shift up close and personal, she realizes that until the necklace was scorched it seemed like their aim was to subdue rather than kill, but now they seem set on nothing more than lashing out at anyone nearby with deadly intent.
At that same moment, Vilus steps through the stinging vapours of the gas bomb, hardly thinking about the consequences in his desperation to clear the doorway. Both of his hands grab on to the furry rat torso protruding from human shoulders, and Vilus heaves putting his considerable goliath build behind the throw While Joren's echo slashes its right hamstring. But rather than moving the creature, Vilus's shove only serves to tear several of the connecting staples out. As that happens, everyone hears those odd lower tones hidden amongst the rat screams get louder, and Vilus realizes with a start that it is the sound of a heavily muffled human moan coming from within the rat's torso. The rat-man then uses Vilus's momentum against him and throws Vilus to the ground.
Then Malachi's whispers hit the creature and the moan turns into a quiet sob as the rat head sags limp and the whole creature falls to the floor. One of the rats (1) looming over Marion's sleeping form also reacts, instinctively scrambling for the cellar door, lurching and crashing into the shelves on its way before it loses its footing on Samir's grease. The sudden jolt snaps it back to its senses, in so far as it has any, and it starts running for Marion again, only making it partway.
The other one still standing (5) descends upon Marion, seemingly not caring for any of the real threats to it standing on the other side of the doorway. It claws at Marion's armour, searching for an opening so it can finish her off. (Could trigger an attack of opportunity from Joren's echo)
Attack: 21 Damage: 17
The gas continues to expand outward into the back room, engulfing Joren, but not Ashley who he had pulled out of the way.
(That's a DC 10 con save for Joren not to fall asleep after he takes his next turn)
Joren's attack of opportunity (2nd one in 2 rounds), if applicable: Attack: 19 Damage: 9
From his echo's position of course. I guess he had 2 choices of target since number 1 ran due to Dissonant Whispers and number 5 attacked Marion with Joren's echo adjacent, via Sentinel feat.
This would be against number 5. He definitely does not want to drop number 1's movement to 0 with Sentinel if it is running away for a round.
Ashley looks at Joren with gratitude for getting her away from the growing sleeping gas. She watches in horror as Marion falls to the attack of one of the terrifying ratmen. Not today!! She thinks and casts healing word
Marion gets 4 healing points back.
She then tolls the bells again at the rat that was attacking Marion, casting toll the dead WIS save of 12 or 9 necrotic damage

As he is knocked prone by the beast Vilus's hood is cast back revealing the face of a young but stout goliath man, his eyes reddened from gods knows what and his face divided by a large scar that travels from beneath his right eye down to just below his right ear, his stone-like features are not ones that convey kindness or compassion, more concern and ruthless competition. As he scrambles to his feet in determination (half movement 15ft) he assists whomever makes a move to pull Marion into the secondary room by holding the door open and ready to slam it shut when needed.
Looking into the first room he sees the rats closing in, he hears a ringing sound pierce his skull and flinches slightly before locking eyes with the closest Rat, As the rats get closer to the door he waits for them to bunch up within 10ft of one another (ready action) muttering nonsense noises he directs the ringing from his mind toward the rats and casts Shatter.
CON save DC 13
Fail take 12 thunder
Succeed, take half
IF Marion is not dragged into the back room in time, then Vilus will step (remaining 15ft) in the way of the oncoming enemies before releasing the spell, OR If Marion is already safe then once the spell is cast he will close the door
(If applicable) attack from echo's location if applicable, at disadvantage on rat-man 5: Attack: 25 Damage: 9
Joren drags Marion into the back room as far as his movement takes him, leaving Vilus to close the door after him. Only if he still has his action available, he attacks rat-man 5 from his echo's position.
He wishes there was some way to grab the necklace or Razmus but he doesn't see how. He wonders if the remaining rat-man will do anything to Razmus.

Samir scrambles back to his feet, still clutching his bolt-caster to his chest, staring at the chaos around him in something approaching utter disbelief.
"Marion! Oh hells..."
With his free hand he digs into his satchel, pulling free a vial of translucent red liquid as he stumbles to the knight's side. He pops the stopped free with his teeth, spitting it out and reaching towards the worst of her visible wounds.
"I'm sorry, but this will sting for a moment."
Samir begins pouring the liquid onto Marion's wounds, and true to his word the liquid does sting for a moment as it touches the raw flesh, before it settles to a faint tingle as the damage begins to heal.
The rat-man attacking Marion opens itself to a vicious slash from the echo and the sound of bells can be heard as its fingers start to rot. It clutches its head to block out the sound, giving Joren time to pull a rousing Marion through the door.
Vilus sees the ringing in his own head manifest physically as he watches violent ripples in the gas that nearly fills the first the room erupt outward from where he was looking, slamming into both rats. Aware that more of the gas is creeping into the back room, and being concerned for the welfare of the other people in the room with him (though he forgets to worry about himself), he slams the door shut behind him before he gets a chance to see the result of his attack.

He braces himself against the handle, waiting for a rat-man to slam into the door or try to wrench it open... but nothing happens. From the other side of the door, he hears only a soft thump of something soft hitting the floor and then silence. Given a moment to catch his breath, Vilus remembers he is breathing gas. He saw how fast it put Marion to sleep, and when he turns he sees it has put Joren out too, but oddly enough, he doesn't feel drowsy in the slightest (Aspect of the Moon). A moment later, his head swims though, and he realizes that whatever the gas may be, it is not oxygen. Best not to breathe it in concentrated doses for too long either way, lest he get light-headed and pass out.
Though the gas is slow moving, it seems to be gradually rising and settling at the top of the room above everyone's heads. The seal of the door appears to be tight, and no gas leaks through from the other room, though it must surely be filled by this point. Vilus guesses that in a minute or two, the whole room will be safe to wake around in.
Everyone is out of initiative for now. Joren has fallen asleep from the gas, though Marion is conscious again. There will be gas by the door for the next minute or two, and the door itself is closed though unsecured.
"can anyone tell me what in the hell's that was all about? What were those things? How long have you all been kept here?" Vilus unleashes a slew of questions before clutching his head in pain for a moment apparently not unaffected by the use of his own magics.
People can now see as they look on his face and frame this Goliath stands at just over 7ft tall a stocky build and stress invades every aspect of his face as his scowling gaze meets everyone else's, one by one..
With the effect of Ashley's healing magic beginning to stir Marion back to life, as Joren pulls her to safety he hears Marion talking faintly in her weakened state as she reaches a hand out as if there is someone there, though her eyes are glazed over and it is clear she is still in a fevered state caused by the severity of her wounds.
"My Lady...You humble me....Of course...I will not fail you..."
As Samir applies his concoction her eyes suddenly flash open as she cries out in pain. Looking at the half-Orc, confused as to exactly what is going on, she feels the agonising pain in her chest and her left arm start to fade a little. Glancing around the room, her head still fuzzy, she slowly takes in the situation and at last comes to understand exactly what has happened. Speaking in a delicate voice as she slowly sits up she says to him: "Thank you, friend."
Ashley crouches down to avoid the gas and reaches Joren, she drags him away from the gas and tries to shake him awake. If that doesn't work, she gives him a good slap as well.
She tries to answer the goliath, "We actually arrived right before you. He told us there was room for us to sleep down here and right after he led us down here, you arrived. I have no idea what those things were! Are they all taken care of? Is the door secure?? What about that man, Razmus?" her voice gets a bit higher as she continues asking questions and as she realizes it, she stops. Trying to stop herself from panicking.

Looking at the half-Orc, confused as to exactly what is going on, she feels the agonising pain in her chest and her left arm start to fade a little. Glancing around the room, her head still fuzzy, she slowly takes in the situation and at last comes to understand exactly what has happened. Speaking in a delicate voice as she slowly sits up she says to him: "Thank you, friend."

She tries to answer the goliath, "We actually arrived right before you. He told us there was room for us to sleep down here and right after he led us down here, you arrived. I have no idea what those things were! Are they all taken care of? Is the door secure?? What about that man, Razmus?" her voice gets a bit higher as she continues asking questions and as she realizes it, she stops. Trying to stop herself from panicking.
