Crimson Sands of Time

<I actually forgot all about that trait. I should have added a condition ring as a reminder.  I'm not going to call for them, but it's very likely others should have rolled saves against this as well. Everyone is either now or was once within 30ft of the alkilith, so almost certainly should have needed to save vs foment madness.  The effect lasts 1 minute. It is the same as the confusion spell, meaning that, at the start of his turn, Randy should roll a d10 to determine his actions that round. 2-6 was no movement or action, but still allowed reactions and bonus actions.>

Randy 2

(1 is North, ascending clockwise: 5 south, 7 west, etc.)

Randy uses all his movement to run 4

Randy runs straight through the portal (no aoo, he's right beside the alkilith in the other side).

Do I have these positions right? Sam? Tetrevess?

The wastrility attacks Ethan

12 for 30 piercing 

29 for 18 slashing

11 for 18 slashing

It doesn't dash 160ft into the dark depths of this abyssal lair, it just stands there.

Players are up. 

Oli saving throw: 3

Trisk will direct his 10 silver coins to attack the demon.

1. Attack: 27 Damage: 7 bludgeoning damage.

2. Attack: 14 Damage: 7 

3. Attack: 18 Damage: 8 

4. Attack: 10 Damage: 6 

5. Attack: 21 Damage: 6 

6. Attack: 17 Damage: 8 

7. Attack: 14 Damage: 5 

8. Attack: 14 Damage: 6 

9. Attack: 16 Damage: 5 

10. Attack: 9 Damage: 8 

And Trisk will cast Chill Touch at the demon.

Attack: 21 Damage: 6 necrotic damage.

Oli saving throw: 8

Forgot to state what the save was for: death saving throw.

"Does anyone have any healing magic to help Oli?"

Trisk calls out while focusing on the offence the 10 silver coins are helping provide. He hopes a few of his new allies have healing magic as they may soon need it. 

After several bouts the demon succumbs to the combined effects of the spectral hand and being nickle-and-dimed to death.

Oli lays motionless, floating on the fetid water as the demon's body sinks beneath the water.

The large tentacles creature covered in red eyes fades from view.

What do you do?

<you know what's funny, those demon's you sent back to the Abyss, they've probably returned ed to the lair they came from, so probably best not to linger unkess you want to meet them again.>

"Damn it... damn it! No! Bunny boy! Can you hear me?! Does anyone have Revivify?! Don't just stand there do something!" Ethan yells as he picks him up and checks to see if he's still breathing.

"Randy can heal others but I don't know what the hell is wrong is him right now!" Ethan painfully yells back as he cradles the seemingly motionless bunny in his (normal) arms. Damn it... I should have realised we've bitten of more than we can chew... He stand upright and straightens himself despite the fact that he took two powerful blows from the demon before it died to Trisk and Tetrevess's hands. "Just... get back to the surface before anyone else tries to attack us. I doubt we can do anything else right now..." He hastily walks back to the platform, taking advantage of the Water Walk spell that Randy casted on him before he started acting erratically, before he rests Oli down on the floor. "I can't tell... if he's still breathing or not... does anyone else know if he is?"

Trisk clears a path out of the portal for Ethan to carry Oli out and lay him down for the rest of the party to inspect. (ooc: remind me to invest in some healing potions next chance we get)

"This way! Oli is down and could use some care!"

If a medicine check would help: 11 

So, if you're heading back through the portal, a DC18 Wis save will be required against foment madness if starting a turn within 30ft of the alkilith.  Randy is still under the effect of foment madness and he and or Sam are probably about to get slapped by its tentacles. Previous saves against foment madness do not make you immune (as is often the case for similar effects) but the save is not required while effected by it.

<unless you're planning to investigate this layer of the abyss (optional) you should be trying to get out snd close the portal by destroying the alkilith. If you kill the alkilith, the pcs in the abyss might be stuck there, not an issue if one of them has plane shift or similar. Regarding Randy, he's in 2 rounds in out of 10, but once the the combat ends, I'll stop tracking rounds.

<I PMed Oli's player regarding how we will proceed.  Also, spoiler, once you make it back to safety, alive, everyone goes up a level.>

Alkilith pseudopod attacks (15ft reach) 

X Sam 26 for 18 acid damage

X sam 16 for 18 acid damage

X Ethan 22 for 18 acid damage

<I meant Randy in that last post>

Trisk will move and Dash to get out of the portal.

Trisk's WIS: 18 

Randy D10: 6... WIS Save at the end of his turn: Not gonna bother 17 (Come on can he please move?! Ethan?! Someone?!)

BA: Uses whatever conscience he has left to blast down the one who twisted his mind. DC 16 DEX or suffer from what the hell 9 Fire

Reaction: Deflects the attack direct at him with his force field

Just after Trisk rushes thoeugh the portal, the alkilith lashing his tendrils at him as he passes, (no AoO: he's still within reach), Randy Jill's the alkilirth with the fire blast, searing the slimy demon as it puffs like a burned marshmallow, growing like a dozen snakes flowing from the central mass of ooze concentrated around the arch.  A strang3 side effect perhaps of the strange conflicting rukes thst government the multivariate, when an outsider is killed both on its own plane and the material plane, because it is the portal.
