Additionally, as a reaction, she casts absorb elements and gains temporary resistance to cold damage. She holds out her magical dagger and some of the cone of cold frost energy seeps into the dagger instead of into Jess. The dagger glows coldly now and Jess lunges towards Simon with a wordless shout of primal expression, stabbing at him with the cold glowing dagger!
11 to hit, the dagger is turned away by the shield and the cold energy in it rapidly dissipates.
Jess remains in melee range of Simon, grimacing at her missed attack, holding her dagger at the ready.
(Eh, the bottle was just supposed to be a distraction since I used my action on Dash. So I wasn't really trying to hit him with it, in which case I'll just say it was an added flair signaling that Drez was ready to fight. We can just say it shattered on the shield, Simon seems pretty confident in his mage armor, so I doubt it would phase him anyways.)
Drezmir sees that his words do actually seem to be doing something...hopefully that was a good thing. Wait...what was this? His ears twitch as Simon summons the orb and begins talking to Robin... This...this made sense. Things were adding up... that's how he knew who they were without ever having seen them. His eyes widen as Robin crumples to the ground--this was a whole other level of evil.
Drezmir's eyes flare, "I think I know the real reason you don't want to see Gwen anymore. You're afraid that she will see what you have become, and that she won't want any part of it..." He growls as the mage misty steps away from him, nearly negating the distance he'd just covered. No...they'd left their ranged fighters unguarded! How had he been so stupid! He clenches his fists, preparing himself for his next attack.
Jess spares a glance at Robin, crumpled on the ground. Should she wake him? It seemed that Simon had tried to cause Robin to be under his thrall… it hadn’t worked, but all the same, it seemed a risk to try to help Robin back up, only to have him turn on them. Better for him to stay down, for now.
(Here's my next post in case i'm asleep before my turn. I think only Vex and Gilded need to make attacks?)
The tiny dragon vanishes as the ice hits it. It was unsuccessful in helping the group.
Corvus hisses as the ice hits him. He had not thought the mage would stoop so low as to go after those he thought to be the weakest before taking out the stronger opponent. This spell must be what Gwen had warned them about. She wasn't lying, this man is powerful. However, it is likely that he is only able to cast a spell of that strength a few times. Now, he could only hope that number was small. He also hopes that this annoying shield doesn't last too long either.
After Simon's attack his shield had crumbled away leaving only his mage armor. (His reaction already used.) Jess's dagger wasn't able to crack his mage armor however. Gilded's attack/action had lead to much the same. It was almost like striking solid iron as Simon raised his hand blocking each strike! Simon raises an eyebrow at Jess's magical talent.
"You seem to be a wise mage, calculating as well. Perhaps you waste you're time surrounded by those ruled by emotion. I've seen what Robin saw, you understand power and the natural order. Killing my guards was to assure a guarantee and yet you're so called "Friends." Shamed you for it, you and me Jess.. We aren't that different. You know in you're heart of hearts I'm not just an evil tyrant. Order.. Nature and power.. These are all above any morality aren't they not?"
Simon had growled as Drezmir offered even more words to him. It seems the little fox was adding it all up. Robin's body was cold and covered in frost but surprisingly he was still breathing.
"Gwen.. Like you hasn't grown to understand such things yet impudent pup!"
Round 1
Robin: (Slumber/one death save fail.) 23
Corvus: 23 (Action Taken)
Drez: 18 (Action Taken)
Kocino: 18 (Deals 3 damage)
Simon: 11 (Shield Gone/3 damage/Reaction used)
Dragon: 11 (Likely KO'd)
Jess: 5 (Dagger Missed)
Gilded: 3 (Longsword Missed)
Vex: ???
OOC Kocino passes the save and only takes 17 damage ^^
It is Vex's turn. Regardless of his Initiative cause he is last to go haha
If he is after Simon (Low roll) He can attack after the shield vanished A high roll and he'll attack while the shield was active.
Jess holds Simon’s gaze as he prattles on. She keeps a grimace on her face, knowing full well that sometimes it is appropriate or even psychologically advantageous to display emotion in a high stakes situation. The jaguar does no less when it launches itself on its prey. But she gives no response to his words.
"When I was younger.. That's exactly what I would have one, child of water. You still only see this as a chess board and a match to win. What about the bigger picture? Can you truly coexist? With others who don't understand these basic truths? Jess.. What can you gain from here?"
If Jess chooses to be silent Simon will no longer indulge in a one sided conversation. Instead he will focus his efforts on the battle ahead. Holding his hand out to the group as the elemental energy began to shift around him. The icy gust slowly building and swirling to a red hue of hot flames.
OOC So for Gilded I know he wasn't close to Simon yet. So I understand how he can move 30 feet and reach Simon. But Drezmir is now sixty feet away from him again yes? Cause misty step 30 feet and than moved 30 feet to the doorstep. It's super annoying I know xD But he'd have to either dash or use item interaction to draw Crossbow. (Half of movement and one object interaction used.)
Though that doesn't matter much cause those dice were mean haha.
Night Aroc ^^ I'll give Vex's player the night to give me the Initiative/turn/con save
"Your words are twisted up like a viper. You pick and choose what to say, thinking it will give me pause or doubt, but I see through your contradictions and half-truths. This awakening, those cultists, your schemes, all fly in the face of the natural order. You're the quintessence of an UNNATURAL order. You've lost yourself, like a rabid dog, snarling and biting at the hand that has given you everything. It's time for the mangey mongrel to be put down!"
Vex is slightly to the left of the door, yet the chill immediately knocks him down. More than half of his body instantly gets covered with ice. He would be dead if luck had looked down on him.

I didn't wanna edit the top cause changes die
Simon has 3 damage as well.
After Jess goes.
As Simon goes past him, Gilded will swing with his longsword.
To hit: 12 Damage: 6
Bonus action : vow on enmity.
OOC
Simon used Misty Step first before moving. Misty Step doesn't provoke attack of opportunity's.
So no AOO's this time around.
OOC
Oh wait that was just an action okay my bad my bad
Con save for Corvus: 18
Con save: 15
Jess con save: 16

If I math’d correctly, Jess takes 17 instead of 35 from the con save, then takes 8 instead of 17 for the resistance.

(I suppose I'd better post my next attack as well. I'll be going to bed pretty soon too and I likely won't post until later tomorrow.)
Drezmir rushes after Simon, claws ready. Once he gets close to the mage, he delivers two unarmed attacks--not slashes, more like trained jabs.
Unarmed attack: Attack: 18 Damage: 8 + 4 lightning (from rite)
Unarmed attack 2: Attack: 22 Damage: 9 + 2 lightning (from rite)
(Sheesh, the dice hate me right now lol.)

Jess will finally respond,
"Your words are twisted up like a viper. You pick and choose what to say, thinking it will give me pause or doubt, but I see through your contradictions and half-truths.

Initiative: 5 con save: 17
Still, 17 damage. Vex is immediately down.
Vex is slightly to the left of the door, yet the chill immediately knocks him down. More than half of his body instantly gets covered with ice. He would be dead if luck had looked down on him.
