Kathra's attacks sever the bony claw from Orlung's influence and the remains, as well as the dwarf that they were holding fall to the ground below and tumble among the cube-stone rubble. Kathra suffers 8 bludgeoning damage from the fall.
End of round wrap-up:
There is still one enemy (Orlung) and he is now down two of his previous four hands. He also looks really haggard and banged up.
Orlung has suffered a total of 153 damage so far from the combined attacks of the group and the Storm Seal.
Kathra is free of Orlung's grasp and has tumbled about 15 feet away from Orlung to land near Gavin.
Peren, Mirabel, and Mub are still ranged attacking with spell and arrow though their "safe" distance is clearly relative, as Mirabel was just rocked by Orlung's mental onslaught.
The Adolescent Storm Seal looks pretty banged up and is slowly drifting towards the ground making sad Seal-bark/Whale-calls the whole way down.
Gavin sees Kathra fall after being squeezed and dropped. He goes within 10’ of her but within melee range of Orlung. “Kathra, you good?” he yells without looking at her, as he is focused on Orlung. He swings his crystal sword in a wide arc slicing at his flaming torso. Attack: 11 Damage: 8
The spectral flaming sword hovering in the air also strikes high at the skull of Orlung. Attack: 8 Damage: 9
((Well that was disappointing, I pictured a much more epic charge into the fray))
((Maybe I misread the spell. I thought I could only use it for one attack since it says “your next attack”. Is it good for all attacks that land while it’s active?))
((I'm going to give Mirabel a couple of hours to check in with his turn and then we'll move on with the rest of the round. Mirabel, if you get skipped, just post whenever during the round and I'll fit you in.))

The Adolescent Storm Seal will come to rest on the ground in a wounded, yet defensive stance, horn and tail at the ready to attack anything threatening it.

Kathra brushes herself off, gives a thumbs up to Gavin that he probably doesn't see, which is just as well as she's actually looking close to dead, and wades back in against Orlung. This time, however, instead of swinging she holds out a hand as the constellations on her body begin to move, and casts Conjure Animals, summoning a single challenge level 2 creature ((which I believe the DM chooses)).
Then her storm aura goes off again, delivering another lightning strike to Orlung.
DC14 Dex save: 10, 2 damage or half on a successful save.

Mirabel's arcane acoustics glance off Orlung's skull. While it's obvious that the fiend was spared the brunt of the assault, the damage was sufficient to crack away the upper right side of the face, revealing a pulsing green stone made of what looks like quartz, agate, and emerald, all swirled together in a cauliflower-shaped mass about six feet in diameter. The blast knocks Orlung back a bit, his damaged form shaky.
Seizing her moment, Kathra unleashes the constellations warring for release across her body. The stars fly from her and form the shape of a charging Giant Boar, that crashes into the mighty pillar of flame and bone, bringing with it the vestiges of Kathra's storm.
Charging Tusk vs. AC: 24, 14 slashing damage.

There is still one enemy (Orlung) and he is down two of his previous four hands. His skull is shattered revealing a gigantic, if malformed, wizard's flower that pulses with a sickly light.
Orlung has suffered a total of 186 damage so far from the combined attacks of the group.
Gavin is over by Kathra, who has just summoned a Giant Boar that is in melee with Orlung.
Peren, Mirabel, and Mub are still ranged attacking with spell and arrow, dutifully chipping away at the monster's hp.
The Adolescent Storm Seal is now on the ground a ways away, curled up defensively.
Next round start: Gavin and Peren are up!

Gavin, sensing that Orlung is weakened, smiles. He can almost feel the divine aura of both Tempus and the Red Knight around him. With all the chaos around him, he somehow feels at peace.
As a bonus action, he casts Blessing of the Red Knight and thrusts his crystal sword into Orlung. Attack: 24 Damage: 10
The blessed attack strikes true doing an additional 29 radiant damage.
“The Red Lady awaits you Orlung! Go meet your doom!” Gavin commands as he twists the blade
((Tried to post the spell as a tool tip but it didn’t work. It’s a one time cast so had to wait for the right moment. Was worried about totally whiffing on the attack. I’ll post the details after combat is over. Don’t wanna count my chickens just quite yet))
Gavin's strike not only tears a hole through the center mass of the fiery fiend, but also through reality itself. As the strange fissure in the air widens, sounds of war can be heard ringing through the cavern; drums beating out the call to action, steel on steel clashing endlessly, trumpets sounding charge as men and beast alike respond in kind to the glorious tempest of combat. Beyond Orlung's broken form, the hole in the world widens further, revealing a plane beyond of endless war, and above it all, a knightly aspect, clad in red armor, burning sword in one hand, long siege-chain wrapped tightly in the other, long hair blowing in the chaotic winds of this surging realm. With a mighty flick of the wrist, the spike chain flies through Gavin's planar wound and encircles the fiend. Orlung rips and tears at the chain with all his might, but he is too tattered, too broken, too weakened to resist the Red Lady's pull. Drawn like a terrified animal, Orlung is drug through the portal into the midst of the chaos and carnage. As the tear closes behind, you see the Red Knight give a nod and the masses of combatants cover the fiend like so many ants on a dying beetle, Orlung's screams cut short at the portal closes before you.
For a moment all is silent. Only the darkness of the cavern, lit only now by a shaft of sunlight from the ceiling hole of Gavin's reentry and the large glowing astral boar standing on the top of the rubble pile that was once the Seree Spell Engine. From off to the side, a soft crooning bark can be heard from the wounded Storm Seal.
((Well, we're out of combat now. Good job on killing the demigod!))

Gavin takes a knee, gives a quick prayer to both Tempus and the Red Lady. As he stands he sees that both Kathra and the storm seal are pretty beat up. He goes from warrior to healer as he casts cure wounds at 2nd level on both of them, starting with Kathra (just in case the storm seal zaps him)
Kathra is healed for 11. “You are a great warrior Kathra. You may not pray to my god, but I will give thanks to him for providing me with a glorious dwarf ally who I call ‘friend’”
“Tempus thanks you” as Gavin approaches and touches the strange creature. Storm seal is healed for 17
He turns to his friends, “I have always prayed, and always believed, but I have never felt what I feel now. I now know that the gods blessed us to make this world...better. I’ve always felt that I served the gods. For them to serve me in this way is....” Gavin stops as he hasn’t the words to finish.
He looks to Peren, Mub and Mirabel, “I still have some healing left if you are in need.

((It would have looked a lot cooler with your new spell attached to it...even on a miss. >_>))
((Maybe I misread the spell. I thought I could only use it for one attack since it says “your next attack”. Is it good for all attacks that land while it’s active?))
((Oh, so it does. Yes, that was my bad. Feel free to call on its power and it will trigger on your next hit.))
Peren will shoot once more at Urlung
Attack: 26 Damage: 12
((I'm going to give Mirabel a couple of hours to check in with his turn and then we'll move on with the rest of the round. Mirabel, if you get skipped, just post whenever during the round and I'll fit you in.))
Mub fires off two arrows at Orlung.
Attack 1 vs. AC: 23, 6 piercing damage.
Attack 2 vs. AC: 28, 6 piercing damage.
The Adolescent Storm Seal will come to rest on the ground in a wounded, yet defensive stance, horn and tail at the ready to attack anything threatening it.
Peren and Mub's arrows pepper the fiery fiend. In return, Orlung sends another stab of mental anguish out, this time towards Peren.
Peren's Wisdom Save (DC 15): 10, 14 psychic damage on a failed save, and half as much on success.
Then come the two remaining claws, one at Gavin and the other at Kathra.
Smashing Claw vs. Kathra's AC: 15, 22 bludgeoning damage
Smashing Claw vs. Gavin's AC: 11, 16 bludgeoning damage
Kathra, you're up.
Mirabel shakes off the effects of the mental assault and casts Shatter, because why not.
DC 14 Con save 18 +mod for 11 damage or half on a failed save.
Also it's very loud.
Kathra brushes herself off, gives a thumbs up to Gavin that he probably doesn't see, which is just as well as she's actually looking close to dead, and wades back in against Orlung.

Nice !!!
