Roo heads over to the feasting ghasts and just makes it to the corner as he stabs A in the ribs. Noting the party interrupting their meal, ghast C sees the halfling and heads straight for Reed.
He first tries to bite at Reed and misses, but his claws find purchase, deep into Reed's chest. (Crit, damage 18) Reed must roll CON save DC 10 or be paralyzed for a minute.
Reed sees the claws heading straight for his chest in what looks like a deadly blow. He manages to twist and shrink to the side and deflect the claws but they still slash up his shoulder.
There’s something nasty on those claws, but whatever it is doesn’t find a hold.
(Reaction - Uncanny Dodge - half damage; Con Save 19)
Virro nestles up close to Reed and holds up his holy symbol, speaking a prayer to turn away the undead. As the ghasts listen to his prayer, they seem not to hear as well as others.. though still cringe at the words (resistant)
All end up ignoring the words except Ghast A who reaches up to cover his ears, looking for the way out.
Seeing everything kick off, Corlith steps into the doorway to the North, and blesses Roo, Reed and Archie. "Come on Archie, I know you are eager to get involved", he calls to Archie, encouraging her to take a shot at the undead in front of Reed.
Movement: 15ft into the doorway to the North Action: Cast Bless on Roo, Reed and Archie - uses Voice of Authority to allow Archie a single weapon attack against C
As a reaction Archie pulls out and launches a handaxe over the heads of her allies and into the head of the ghast. (Crit! 25 to hit, 10 slashing dam) "Actually I'm not..." she answers to Corlith, "...or at least someone else is more excited to play!" As she chuckles this ominous statement, the blue flame flickers and thrives within the suit. "Greetings!"
The handaxe expertly skirts over Virro and lands on ghasts shoulder, taking a chunk out of the creature. It's howl of pain makes your skin crawl.
Ghast A runs as far from Virro as possible and dodges in the corner.
Ghast B ambles up to Roo and attempts to bite the Gallus but misses terribly, aiming for the beard on top of his head. He then goes for clawing Roo and sinks his claws in between the connections of Roo's breastplate. (Crit, Damage 13) Roo must roll CON save DC 10 or be paralyzed for a minute.
Ghast D follows B and attacks at Roo as well, but both of his attacks go wide - unless he misses his CON save....
Reed is up, but due to his proximity of the ghast, the stench of it is overwhelming:
Stench. Any creature that starts its turn within 5 feet of the ghast must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned until the start of its next turn. On a successful saving throw, the creature is immune to the ghast's Stench for 24 hours.
Reed wrinkles his nose at the smell coming off the ghast.
"That's nasty," Reed says, his eyes watering slightly. "That's worse than all those perfumes back in the bathhouse."
But after blinking his eyes a couple of times and breathing through his mouth the effects pass.
Reed then slips quickly backwards, watching the ghast's claws as he does, making sure to disengage carefully. But as he does, he slot an arrow onto his bowstring, pulling it back taut then letting it go at the smelly ugly ghast that just got in his face.
Movement - not sure if the door to the south is open or not - if it's open Reed moves through it and sticks to the east corner of the doorway so he can still see Ghast A but get out of the way of the others. If it's closed and he can't open it with a free movement, he'll press himself tightly into the doorframe.
Action - Shortbow @ Ghast C - (20 Critical + 8) = 28 to hit for (5+4+5) = 14 piercing damage. Virro had moved up beside Reed - if that puts him in melee range of Ghast C then adding Sneak Attack Damage (doubled from Critical) = 27 for total of 41 piercing
IronMaiden skirts the hallway along it's southern wall and enters the room to the left with reed, they make it to the other doorway and produce a blue flame in their palm which they they blow over the room containing the ghasts, blue sparks glow and illuminate all objects in there, but also the three ghasts to the south, just missing roo. (Cast faerie fire, ghasts A, D, and B make a dc 16 dex save or become faerie fired.) They then cock their gauntlet like a shotgun and lightning explodes from their palm like a shot aimed directly at ghast D (Lightning launcher, 25 to hit, (13 if it succeeds it's Dex save) and 12 lightning damage)
Ghasts A and B are now glowing blue, all attacks are at advantage.
The lightning that shoots out from IM to ghast D just hits it and he shakes a bit from the damage.
Anger is apparent on Lulu's face as she sees what these ghasts were up to and now how they were attacking her new friends. She flies past Virro and settles next to ghast C. She sticks out her trunk and a blast that sounds like a trumpet emits from her as well as a sparkly, glittery cone jets from the end of her trunk that does not affect Roo or IM, but encompasses all the ghasts in her 30' cone.
All four ghasts are unable to handle the radiant damage that comes their way and get the full brunt of 25 radiant damage.
At the sound of the trumpet, a surprised tressym pops its head out of Reed's pack and looks around. Once Slobberchops realizes that it wasn't a bell for dinner, he curls back up in Reed's pack.
Roo holds his position and attacks Ghast B, clucking and hopping around and being a general menace as he unleashes (or attempts to unleash, anyway...) his Booming Blade...
Turn Summary
No Movement
Action- Booming Blade: 14 to hit (with Advantage), 9 damage + 3 from Booming Blade = 12 damage, plus 9 damage if Ghast A moves out of its position more than 5 feet.
Virro wrinkles up his nose and says, “They really do reek, don’t they? The closest thing I’ve ever smelled close to this is necrotic bowel..”. He moves northwest to the room opening in that direction, loading his crossbow as he does so. He fires at the last remaining ghast in the southwest corner of the room.
Light crossbow : 17 to hit, for 9 points of piercing damage.

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
As the last ghast falls, IronMaiden dispels the faerie fire and walks into the center of the room with the crumpled ghast bodies to het a better look at what was going on. "My my, this was a bit of excitement. How are you all since our last meeting? Has Archie been ok? I felt a great disturbance during the travelling I take it we are in the other place now?"
Corlith wanders out from the doorway he had moved into to make way for the others, and moves into the room with the corpses of the undead.
"I had expected to find fiends here, but did not expect undead as well. I guess that is what I get for falling asleep whilst researching", he says with a frown.
"Oh, yes Irondmaiden, this is Elturel. We are now in Avernus. Archie seems ok, although she did have a little wobble a minute ago", he replies. "Has the new source affected you much?".
Whilst he talks he takes a look around for anything useful, avoiding the bodies and the overpowering stench.
Investigation: 1+0=1 Special: Concentration: Bless on Roo, Reed and Archie - 3/10
Roo hears Iron Maiden's distinct voice and steps over to him/her/it.
"Ah yes, quite right you are! We found this ratserpent..." He says, pausing long enough to think about all the ways he's going to murder Traxidor later for eating the young of Gallus... "And he sent us here! We were all there..."
He holds his hands out, making a sort of circle with his feathery fingers...
"...and he was like..."
He raises his hands, making a sort of typical wizardy-type hand series of hand gestures...
"...and it was like..."
...before a series of beak clicks and whirring sound effects...
"...then poof! Buck! We are here! I love it here! There are so many blasphemal beings around! We have much work to do! We can harvest the bodies of the damned in bountiful numbers!"
Reed heads over to a cupboard putting his ear to it and listening.
"There's someone in here," Reed says. "Or something."
Being in Avernus and all, he supposes this could be a trap and quickly checks the cupboard for any needles, wires, or other trap-like indications (Perception 7+9=16)
"I am happy to be here friend Reed, but I am unsure I have the equipment to labelled as 'man' or 'woman', I suppose, though argument could be made that the informing gender of Archie as my primary source makes me more female than male. Still, thank you for your welcome."
Listening to Roo describe the methods of teleportation The IronMaiden nods along, "this RatSerpent sounds powerful, and possibly feindish. I am glad that they were able to assist us and not become hostile. I gathered from my semi-consciousness during Archie's waking time that we have a goal to head towards and innocent to escort? I will go to check on them, I wish you luck in finding things to assist us from these corpses" IM then checks in with the others seeing if anyone is in dire need of a Cure Wounds before, exiting and checking on Reya and Harkina
When the IronMaiden heads out of the building to check on the others, Reya rushes over. "Archie! Are you alright? Oh wait... that's blue flame, Iron Maiden, everything ok? Sounded like a battle in there." Harkina is watching closely and the children are starting to look bored.
As Reed opens the cabinet, a pair of big blue eyes stare out at him and then he sees the small, dirty, young girl they are attached to who is whimpering and trying to make herself as small as possible in the corner of the cupboard.

Reed moves into the room as well, patting IronMaiden on the back as he does. "Welcome back tin can man," Reed says.
He then snoops around a bit to see if there might be anything of value or use in the drawers or chest (Perception: 13+9 = 22)

Reed nods along, smiling broadly at IronMaiden's mention of 'equipment'.
He then lifts his head from examining the cupboard.
"I don't see any traps," Reed says, then puts his hand on the cupboard handle. "Ready?"
Once he has the attention of the others, Reed swings open the door from the side, keeping himself out of any direct attack that might leap out.
