As a reaction to seeing Elthana strike out at the vampire, Sam triggers his Ring of Amity* to change her weakest hit into a critical hit... Sam pays a bit of extra attention when he does this to see if the magic actually works. He has seen fake Elthana's before but only the real Elthana is bonded to the ring to benefit from this effect.
Now, the current turn:
Sam once more shifts into flanking position with Elthana (if he's not still) and makes two swings of his maul against the vampire between them.
Maul Attack: 19 or 14 for 29 to hit for 18magical bludgeoning damage. Maul Attack: 3 or 15 for 25to hit for 13magical bludgeoning damage.
Gewyn starts to move north toward the wounded vampire just starting to clear his vision. with a flick of his fingers, he causes the field of mischievous magic to shift north up to ten feet (However far necessary to get both vampires if possible) Flowers continue to bloom, but now they are short and stout, and each one flowers and then blooms into a large apple. The smell of spiced apple pie fills the air (Wisdom 16 or else they are charmed by me for the turn).
Then, he turns his attention to the isolated vampire before him. With two quick flicks, he sends two of his daggers flying at the monster, clicking his tongue in frustration at his own throwing form.
Elthana hears the news from Sol and finds she has mixed feelings. Well, maybe not mixed, more elation tinged with a bit of remorse for the woman who was something like her. Not quite, she didn't have a piece of Nivara's soul and all that, but if it wasn't for Nivara, she wouldn't have existed, same as her. So in a way...
No. This was great news. It also meant her team was strong, she was proud of them.
Happy to see Muir emerge from the entrance, she focuses on the task at hand and as she does, she feels the ring upon her hand twist one of her last attacks and somehow deliver 17 points of damage to the vampire.
As the firey vamp leaves her range, she lashes out, damage from the fire be damned. And she crit's with 14 damage.
Turning her attention to the vampire she stunned, she unleashes her magical unarmed attacks.
Vin's first Eldritch blast has the desired effect slamming into the core of the blind vampire and showing it off balance 10 ft toward Sol.
Neferox's second bite clamps down on the blind vampire and she successfully throws them to the ground.
Sam successfully twists fate as his ring links to the real Elthana in front of him and assists her strikes, in the present his maul swings successfully connect causing the vampire many crushing wounds.
As Gewyn's mischief spell changes tact on him, the vampires he targets don't seem to even notice the smell, or the apples, his charm fails to grasp them whatsoever as he feels his magic slide off them like air through a bird's wing. his attacks at the blind vampire prove moe successful as the vampire wipes the venom from its eyes, it is immediately met with one dagger thunking into its ribs as the other goes clattering off without finding purchase.
slamming a fist up at the passing vampire, Elthana does a little damage but doesnt seem to deter the vampire whatsoever, turning her attacks on the dazed one in front of her she finds ease at sucessfully battering the undead sh!t out of them and punches them once more in the temple not letting the stun leave them as they stay in a state of not knoing what the hell is going on.
Griff moves 10ft north and draws his arrows, letting loose at the near dead undead stunned vamp, he looses them both but one goes astray, the other sinking into the vampire where Griff mutters a word or two and makes his arrow explode with lightning, (8 piercing, 10 lightning)
Ömertyr runs behind Sam and attempts to grapple the frenzied vampire currently trying to claw Shenoh to death ( vampire rolled a 29 on dex save), the bugger proves more slippery than Ömertyr had first realised and he spends a moment faffing trying to grab this undead from atop shenoh before realising with disappointment that he should have probably just smacked it with his morningstar.
Sol takes a tentiative step back from the main bulk of fightning and throws a guiding bolt at the newly non blind vampire, (29 to hit, 15 radiant) the bolt hits the vamp directly in the face with a divine and blinding light. Vin, Nef, and Gewyn who are the closest around to witness see the vampires head enveloped in this light and then the light blinks out and the vampire's head is gone, the body topples to the floor and whilst basked in the daylight it melts to ichor and blackened slugde stained on the ground.
"we need to deal with this and then start moving inside!" Shenoh shouts back to Sol's news over the fighting, one of her Lightning hulks moves behind sam and strikes out an arc of lightning to the vamp attacking the Djiin, (Crit 29 to hit, 29 lightning damage) the strike hits perfectly and a ricochet of lightning also coils back and zaps the dazed one (17 lightning), the dazed vampire is barely holding on as black ichor starts forming in the corners of its mouth.
Shenoh herself takes a 5ft step to one side the vampire standing one her moving with, lining the two remaining vampires up in a perfect line, and looks as if she is about to cast a spell, but hesitates with the amount of allies she has in close quarters, instead she summons two scimitars of blade and slashes out with each at the vampire atop her, her movement having givene her the benefit of flanking with Elthana. (22 & 25 to hit for 28 slashing + 5 fire total) Shenoh's flame elemental also moves up to assist standing very close to Elthana and attempting to swat at the vampire attacking shenoh, though its hesitance at trying not to catch Elthana alight causes it to miss on both of its attacks.
The one mist hulk to the south of Sam and Elthana moves up to assist them, slamming out at the dazed vampire, (crit 28 to hit 23 cold damage, the vampire freezes solid in the Mist hulk's clutches and all the colour drains from it, until it becomes solid black ichor in the shape of a vampire, it falls to the ground and shatters between Sam and Elthana.
One of the griffon riders approaches airbourne and fires off a couple arrows at the last vamp, (crit 27 & 22 to hit 20 piercing) the arrows thud into the side of it and it seems to be on the edge.
The other hulks seeing that there is only one bloodied enemy remaining and it is currently occupied and completely surrounded make their way toward the core entrance to guard. All but one lightning hulk which steps too fast to see properly eastward to survey something coming on the horizon.
As the last remaining vampire for now has its quarry in melee it merely continues slashing at shenoh, trying to bring her down bit by bit, (miss and a 23 to hit, 11 slashing, 10 necrotic) as it slashes out trying to hold onto the undeath it has left, its attacks douse it once again in Shenoh's molten blood (6 fire)
As this round comes to a cloe the two mist hulks in pursuit of the newly arrived vampires also arrive on the scene (just off map west)
Everybody is up! (BUT! the last remaining vamp has 18 ac and 13 hp left, the first person to breach that threshhold feel free to describe exactly how you'd like to do this!)
Everybody is up! (BUT! the last remaining vamp has 18 ac and 13 hp left, the first person to breach that threshhold feel free to describe exactly how you'd like to do this!)
Sam grunts in disappointment as the Mist Hulk steps up and steals his kill. He quickly scans the battlefield for his next target and sees only one... Shenhoh.
Or, rather, he supposed the vampire attacking her. The thought of just heading to the entrance crosses his mind. But despite his intense distaste for the... woman... he rolls his eyes and then steps up to attack her attacker. He takes a moment to take good aim and plan his assault good and proper, not being harried by other combatants helps. Then, lifting his maul above his head with both hands, he slams it down upon the vampire as if he was at a carnival trying to prove his might by ringing the bell... And ring the bell he does. The vampire is squashed like a mosquito that has vastly overeaten. The maul was brought down perfectly to flatten the bloodsucker in just such a way to ensure maximum splatter of it's guts and ichor and whatever else it has inside is aimed directly at the women it was attacking.
Watching Shenoh be covered in vampire viscera Sam glances at her and gives her a nod as if to say she is welcome... He did, after all, just save her. "Insides it is, then," Sam says, the slip of the tongue totally unintentional. He then waits to follow Elthana inside...
Vin descends on Bry'Ze to be by Neferox's side, as the hell hounds around for any further incoming adversaries.
"Getting inside sounds like a good idea to me. Some of us might need to wipe our feet first though", he says with a grin, noticing the state of Shenoh particularly and likely most the rest of them as well.
He motions for Neferox to retreat with him to the entrance, and they wait there for Shenoh and Sol, knowing that only they will be able to get them allowed entry without issue.
Neferox Perception (with advantage due to Infernal sense): (16, 20)+8=28
Neferox barks a warning as she looks out at the expanse between the core and the outer shell of the isle of Shenoh. She then pauses to lick her wounds until Vin enters the safety of the core.
"Time to go folks, more undead are on the way", Vin adds by way of likely unnecessary translation.
Elthana winces as the ichor bursts upon Shenoh. Seeing what is incoming, the elf nods and starts running towards the opening. She finds she can't stop grinning, whether it was from defeating a vampire so easily or seeing her friends again.... she knows.
The insides of the vampire turn to ichor which does nothing for the staining Shenoh receives in her clothes. She wipes off as much as she can and gives Sam a thankful nod. Sol immediately interrupts anything she was about to say with, "radiant light, they need to be killed under radiant light or they move elsewhere and reform. Sam has seen and destroyed one of their 'nests' but I'm not sure how many are out there.".
Shenoh's brow furrows, thinking for a moment, "leave Francis out here, how long does your light spell last? If the riders can keep the illusion of an open door here at this point we can draw more in under the light and the hulks will dispose of the more mobile and flight capable ones until a better solution can be found" taking out a keystone shenoh approaches the door and gesture for the group along with Sol and Ömertyr to follow. "An hour, I can come back out and recast but I don't have much left in me arcanum-wise" Sol answers.
As Shenoh moves to the door the rider's concentration on the illusion falls and reveals the closed door. She check in with them in Auran as she whips out a keystone popping it in and opening the door.
As the group enter the halls of the core they see movement heading this way from the east, vampires, at least five. The hulks and riders gather, but before the vampires arrive properly Shenoh casts something, a giant storm of flame begins descending upon the incoming vampires. Before she then ducks in along with the group and starts walking down the halls.
The illusion is recast above you as the doors close and calm sets in, the realisation that this is the first time the group has been properly and entirely reunited since first stepping onto this isle also rests upon your shoulders. "It is good to be seeing you again Elthana, you are being safe yes?" Asks Griff.
Sam allows Elthana to enter and then follows in behind her. He is thrilled to have her back but of course has no idea how to express that beyond grinning at her and then listening as she answers Griff's question. Sam is a bit... disconcerted perhaps? Hesitant? to be ducking inside out of the fight that still rages on outside but then again it is not his lands, his peoples, and if their sovereign is comfortable leaving the safety of those things to others then why shouldn't he just relish Elthana's return?
Muir walks along "I assume Sol will fill you in on all the happenings at the factory? I would like to add that the formula for making Mornlyf was discovered and burned. I also have Mori's keystone" He offers it back to Shenoh
Once they are all inside, Vin approaches Elthana and awkwardly makes to give her a hug.
"It's good to see you are ok. Mori was at the mornlyf factory, and we had no choice but to end whatever sort of life she was living. She showed no remorse for what she had done. Her only regret was that she wouldn't get to see her vampire spawn fulfil their purpose. That was how it all sounded to me anyway", he says tentatively, not entirely sure how Elthana would take the news.
"You were obviously let out of your cage. Your chat with Shenoh went well?", he asks, glancing at the leader of this isle. "Do you trust her?", he adds in a whisper.
Gewyn runs up beside Shenoh, changing his appearance back to the tiefling she had met before morphing back into his natural appearance. "Glad to have you back with us," he says, bowing his head without pausing his steps. "Thank you for returning Elthana to us in good health"
Elthana feels a little off about leaving the incoming vampires to the ones standing guard, but she follows Shenoh's directives and is glad to be inside with her friends. She warmly hugs Vin back and grins broadly. "What? Only Vin is happy enough to see me to give me a hug?" She says this looking directly at Sam.
She nods to Griff, "Yes, quite safe. Bored, but safe." Turning back to Vin, "No remorse? Well, the person she showed me must have been quite the farce. What a regret... I'm sorry I wasn't there to help you." Then leaning in to respond to him, "Yes, very much so. Probably the one I trust most since being in Thaeir."She happily ruffles Neferox's fur on top of her head, not caring that she might get her hand bit, just too happy seeing everyone again.
Surprised that Gewyn is sticking to his natural appearance, she smiles, "Yes, seems I'm in better health than the group is. Best rest up as I bet Shenoh is going to need us after what Mori did." She looks at Muir, surprised he doesn't say anything to her at all.
Muir never one to pick up on social cues goes to hug Elthana. Does he over do it? Underdo it? Well he has no idea, he's not a hugger. While bear....Elephant hugging her
"I am glad you are ok....this trip....I am ready to return home"
Neferox growls a little, but Elthana can likely tell her heart isn't in it and she doesn't move to stop the ruffling.
"Well, that is something, at least", Vin replies, addressing the issue of being able to trust Shenoh. It helps him relax a little to think they are amongst allies inside, even if they are surrounded by enemies outside. It wasn't necessarily a foregone conclusion.
Griff gives a beaky smile and nods to Elthana, thankful that no harm has befallen her. "We are indeed needing a rest, even Ömertyr is badly wounded. But we were fighting well against the undead horrors"
The group move quickly following the long strides of shenoh, until they reach a planning room with a long table into which a large flower delight is projected in light.
(Anyone who wants to figure out what this is can roll, investigation)
Sol immediately starts giving a report to shenoh in auran to expedite the proceedings.
Vin wanders over to the long table to look at the projection, followed by Neferox. If there are any seats around the table he will sit.
As Sol begins his debrief in Auran, he looks across to Griff and points to him. "Listen in and just make sure everything is accurate and we are not painted in an unduly bad light", he whispers.

Then, he turns his attention to the isolated vampire before him. With two quick flicks, he sends two of his daggers flying at the monster, clicking his tongue in frustration at his own throwing form.
Attack 1: 9 to hit, 6 magical piercing damage
Attack 2: 23 to hit, 1 piercing damage

Using another ki point, she attempts to stun them again. DC 15 CON save
