(Ah, yes, my bad, the woman closeby that was shouted at, not shouted ;-)

Jirel won't move beyond Tylaerys or the doorway. That's where she'd stop to hold her ground, making sure they can't reach her, essentially being a wall between them and her companions.

(Athletics: 16 if needed. Dodging would continue.)

Outside:

The Flaming Fist fail to move Jirel, as she holds her ground this time.  

"Damnit, woman, you're going to move!" they shout.  Again they try to push her back down the street, working together.  [Help vs Dodge = a straight roll.  DC to resist their push is 22.]

First Floor:  

Jararaka, with the first guard down, charges past the next toward those on the stairs.  She draws an attack of opportunity from that guard, who drops her crossbow in favor of a shortsword, but she misses.

• AOO on Jararaka:  17  (Miss)

The lizardwoman reaches the bottom of the stairs, where she pounds on her shield, unleashing a [Tooltip Not Found].  [Tooltip Not Found] [no room for them to be pushed back 10'].

The guard Jararaka had escaped from holds her shortsword, looking from Tylaerys to Jararaka, then moves in pursuit of the lizardwoman.  She makes two stabbing attempts, but is unable to pierce her hide or armor.

• Shortsword attack on Jararaka:  7  (Miss)
• Shortsword attack on Jararaka:  17  (Miss)

The nearest guard on the stairs rises from prone, and draws his own shortsword.  He, too, is unable to injure the wrathful reptile.

• Shortsword attack on Jararaka:  7  (Miss)
• Shortsword attack on Jararaka:  10  (Miss)

The other guard also rises, and fires off a crossbow bolt at Jararaka, which does hit.  The guard then retreats up the stairs.

Crossbow attack on Jararaka:  23  Piercing Damage:  3

Second Floor:

The guard coming up the stairs shouts to those engaged with Finn.  "They got some kinda lightning lizard.  We need to hold the stairs!"  The guard then takes up a position watching the steps.  

Another of the guards turns their crossbow from Finn and trains it on the steps.  Readied Action

The dagger wielding guard doesn't take his attention off of Finn, making two more strikes.  Finn parries both effortlessly.

• Dagger attack on Finn:  6  (Miss)
• Dagger attack on Finn:  18  (Miss)

The last crossbowman, on the other table, lines up his sights on Finn again.  This time, an exhausted Finn is able to just deflect the bolt.

Crossbow attack on Finn:  20  (Miss)

Third Floor:  

The cultists fan out around the disguised Yeshil.  Two of them duck out through the hole in the brick wall, while the other five try to surround her.  They draw daggers and hold them menacingly... Readied Actions.  The last one up the stairs, the one who seemed to be in charge, speaks to her.  "Are you involved with that spy from earlier?  The one who claimed to have been with Langdedrosa's outfit?  Surrender now.  You're coming with us.  The Wearers of Purple will have questions for you."

The party is up!  Everything is fine!

3rd floor

2nd floor

1st floor

     "Lightning wizard?  Is that even a thing?" Finn calls out but is thankful from the reprieve of attacks... Though concerned it could put her allies in danger.  Looking at the two waiting for her friends at the top of the stairs Finn decides it best to try to distract them so perhaps the cavalry can safely arrive?  Targeting those two, Finn taps into her magical energies and issues a Command :  "Undress!"

(Cast at 2nd level, Command targets an additional creature so long as they're within 30' of original, which they are.  DC 13 Wis save...)

Finding the situation more and more desperate, Tylaerys again weaves her draconic magic to send darts of silvery force down the corridor striking the closest cultist.

Magic Missile x 3: 8

[WIS saves:  7, 10]

As Tylaerys' energy motes slam into the back of the female guard, she staggers.  "I'm hurt," she calls up to the one on the stairs.  

"No foolin'" he answers through gritted teeth.  "We're fighting for our lives here.  Now help me kill this lizard!"

Yeshil, Jirel and Jararaka are still up.

Jirel falls back, however this time she takes the opportunity to slip through the doorway into the building, closing the door behind her. Grabbing a javelin from her arsenal she wedges and bars the door, then locks it the 'conventional way' if it had one. "Honey, I'm home!" The giantess turns around with a grin to look for something else she can put in front of the door. She may be having fun messing with the Flames and kind of wants to see how long it takes for them to break in. "Them friends we made are just outside," Catching sight of the chaos within, further down the hall her grin widens. "An' I see we have company fer dinner." So who needed a knuckle sandwich? She cracks her knuckles and rolls her shoulders back.

Yeshil glances back at the stairwell, the Sylvan incantation for of teleportation on her lips. But as her captor says "The Wearers of Purple will have questions for you", she changes her mind. The young would-be mage is aware that the old Hhune lady's geas is playing no small role in her eagerness to locate Frulam Mondath, and that this could be an opportunity! Quickly she replies: I don't know what a Langdedrosa is, but I'll be glad to answer the questions of your Purple Wearers, and maybe ask them one or two of my own. Hoping that her new friends will be able to take care of themselves, she raises her hands submissively, drops the illusion spell in what she hopes is a show of sincerity, and smiles her green-skinned smile. Lead the way!

"Ah, yes, they are just dying to meet you hun..." Tylaerys says, briefly turning to flash the blonde giantess a playful smile, her silvery eyes glittering with renewed confidence. "...go and join Jararaka dear and I'll give our friends outside a warm welcome if they decide to join us."

Jararaka raises her scimitar and says something to the guard on the stairs in front of her, though no one can make it our over the din of battle.  Her shield still crackling with electricity, she slashes the guard.

Scimitar:  13  Slashing Damage:  9

First Floor:

The guard on the stairs cries out as he is cut, and immediately stabs back with his shortsword, driving it home beyond Jararaka's shield.

Shortsword Attack on Jararaka:  18  Piercing Damage:  6

Before he can do anything else, there is a flash of electricity as Jararaka shield crackles.  An arc of lightning travels back up the man's shortsword, electrocuting him.  Briefly, Jirel and Tylaerys can see the outline of the man's skeleton in the flash.

DEX: 11

Lightning Damage:  16

The man collapses on the stairs as the scent of singed flesh and ozone fill the downstairs hall.

Behind Jararaka, the last guard on the first floor, now trapped alone between the lizardwoman and a goliath (not to mention Tylaerys) stabs out at her in a blind panic.

Shortsword Attack on Jararaka:  19  Piercing Damage:  6

Shortsword Attack on Jararaka:  22  Piercing Damage:  8

Focused as she was on the foe in front, Jararaka was unprepared for these assaults.  Jirel and Tylaerys see her drop to a knee, and then slump forward on the stairs, unconscious.

The guardswoman than runs past the bodies on the stairs and up to the next floor, shouting...

Second Floor:

... "Help!  There's still a wizard down there and they have a Goliath!"  She pauses in confusion, momentarily.  The two guards at the top of the stairs are busily undoing the straps on their leather armor and getting undressed.  To panicked to question, she squeezes past them to stand by the stove.

The dagger wielding guard, badly hurt, continues to stab and slash at Finn, trying to finish her off.

• Dagger Attack on Finn:  20  Piercing Damage:  3
• Dagger Attack on Finn:  13  (Miss)

The last guard, with a crossbow, fires another errant shot at Finn.  

Crossbow Attack on Finn:  14  (Miss)

Third Floor:  

Yeshil:

On the second floor, after peeling off their leather armor, the two guards nearest the stairs look around in confusion at what they have just done, before settling on Finn as the cause of their condition.

There is no attempt by the Flaming Fist to breach the front door.  In fact, all seems to have gone quiet on the street outside.

The party is back up!  

Second Floor:

Red dot = badly injured; Pink dot = removed armor

First Floor:  

Seeing the cultists surround the brave Lizardfolk, Tylaerys desperately calls upon her draconic magic to protect her.

Casting Silvery Barbs on an attack of your choice.

     Finn couldn't help but chuckle at the cultists undressing at her command.  Her mirth, however, was cut short by a dagger slipping past her armor.  "Ouch!  Hey!"  She immediately attacks the cultist right back!

Rapier Attack:  12 to hit for 8 damage plus 5 necrotic from Hex
Bonus ction Scimitar Attack:  7 to hit for... well, 7 don't hit so *shrug*

     Finn is even less mirthful now...

With a spell, time plays out just a little differently...

The guardswoman stabs Jararaka once, but her finishing blow is little off, glancing off the lizardwoman's back sail.  The stairs still blocked, she looks back and forth between Jararaka and Jirel, and turns to run into the hidden doorway in the middle of the hall.

Jararaka never falls.

Meanwhile, upstairs, Finn's first strike is enough to finish off her dagger-wielding foe.  He stumbles off one table, striking his head savagely on the corner of the other.  

The blonde Half-Elf draws a sigh of relief as her draconic magic manages to distract the cultist, and she then transfers the power drawn to the blonde giantess behind her, bolstering her for the coming battle. "I'm sure there's more of them upstairs, go get them girl!" She calls out with playful tone.

(Grant Jirel advantage on the next attack roll, ability check, or saving throw. :-)

Tylaerys then advances to peek through the hidden doorway, taking a quick aim and firing her crossbow at the fleeing cultist. "Where do you think you're going?"

Light Crossbow: 18 Piercing: 7

Quote from Bartjeebus >>

Meanwhile, upstairs, Finn's first strike is enough to finish off her dagger-wielding foe.  He stumbles off one table, striking his head savagely on the corner of the other.  

     With the first blow doing the job Finn would then move towards the other wounded cultist, moving to the spot between them and the one undressed cultist, and the second blow would have been against the wounded one by the stairs...  (Same roll, just repositioning Finn)

[Except, that wounded cultist is no longer there after Tylaerys rewrote history with Silvery Barbs.]

Right, right. Sorry, been half ignoring other floors since Finn wouldn't know what was going on and just looked at my floor...  Finn would hop tables and go after the crossbow wielder then.

Tylaerys' bolt catches the fleeing guard in the middle of her back, and she stumbles, crashing to the floor in a heap under a ladder.

Jararaka mutters a word of healing and a shower of sparks flows through here, reinvigorating her for the battles ahead.  [Spell for 8hp recovered.]  She then charges up the stairs to the second floor.  Tylaerys and Jirel lose sight of her even as Finn sees her charge into view.  She slashes at one of the undressed crossbowmen with her scimitar.

Scimitar Attack:  23  Slashing Damage:  6

[Jirel is up, Yeshil is up but 'surrendered']

With a snarl, Jirel kicks off and rushes through the hidden doorway after the cultist who stabbed Jararaka. It was time to draw a blade. In tight quarters the goliath will favour her handaxes, unleashing them against the already wounded.

Attack: 11 Damage: 5
BA Attack: 21 Damage: 1

(Edit: In case it rerolls after, A: 10 D: 8, BA: 22 D: 2)
(Forgot Tylaerys' Adv, if willing to allow an adv on first attack: 24 )

Jirel charges after the fleeing crossbow-woman... and discovers her dead on the floor, already felled by Tylaerys' own bolt.

Upstairs, the guards react to the sudden appearance of the scimitar slinging electrified lizard on the stairs.  

The nearest guard, half-undressed from last round, drops his crossbow and draws a shortsword.  He stabs at Jararaka, dealing a savage blow.

Shortsword Attack on Jararaka:  24  Piercing damage:  13

Though badly wounded, Jararaka just snarls, and once again an eruption of lightning travels back down the blade to shock the offending guard.

DEX: 7

Lightning Damage:  10

"Ah, dammit," he exclaims.  

"Just kill it!" screams one of the other guards.  The shortsword wielding guard stabs again.  It seems but a scratch compared to the last blow, if it seems to sap the last of Jararaka's power and she drops to a knee and then falls to the floor at the top of the stairs.  [Jararaka is down and will be making death saves.]

Shortsword Attack on Jararaka:  22  Piercing damage:  3

The guard next to him fires off a panicked shot at the fallen lizardwoman, hoping to finish her off, but the bolt clatters harmlessly past and down the stairs.

Crossbow Attack on Jararaka:  4  (Miss)

Near the stove, the wounded guard who had retreated here from downstairs draws his shortsword and prepares to duel Finn to the bitter end, scoring one deep stab and missing with the other.

Shortsword Attack on Finn:  24  Piercing damage:  8

Shortsword Attack on Finn:  13  (Miss)

The last guard, the crossbowman still standing on a table, launches a bolt at Finn but somehow can't find the mark.

Crossbow Attack on Finn:  6  (Miss)

On the third floor, Yeshil is led onward into darkness...

The party is back up!  Yeshil is gone, Jararaka is down and making saves and Tylaerys and Jirel have the ground floor all to themselves.

[Pink = our of armor; Red = Badly hurt]
