Vrox- Initiative: 9 Tyek- Initiative: 7 (advantage from Feral Instinct)
[[OOC: Oof! Vrox and Tyek were apparently a little too pleased with how quickly the party finished off the first wave to notice that more opponents had arrived!]]
[[OOC: @Painted_Beyond - the two tokens with the red circles adjacent to Khessa are no longer alive. Khessa has initiative, so she could move toward one of the two groups of opponents and attack, or she could make a ranged attack / cast a spell. Since we rolled individual initiative, I guess it might be Khessa's turn and then the enemies's turn before anyone else in the party can act. Khessa is the only one who rolled > 10 in the initiative order.]]
[[ OOC: Oh, my bad! I forgot that 'red outline' = 'dead'. OK, so Khessa heads towards the new pair similar to the one she and Clarac just defeated. ]]
Khessa spots among the reinforcements a pair that seems similar to the one she and Clarac so quickly defeated. Hoping to clean up just as quickly, she heads towards the Demon, while trusty Alfred protects her back as usual.
The Death Lance quickly springs into action, with a series of lunges to the legs, chest and neck...
[[OOC: @Aaggie - you might want to keep Large- and Huge-sized tokens around for Tyek for when he's raging. For example, right now, the map should look more like the map below, with Yoht and others moving over since they never would have been able to end in Tyek's space. The outer circle indicates Tyek's 15-ft reach from the Demiurgic Colossus feature. One of the benefits of Path of the Giant is the ability to dominate the space and reach opponents all over the battle map even if an opponent is trying to avoid him and go after the squishier characters.]]
Tyekanik roars at the new opponents as he turns his rage upon them. He reaches out to one of the Death Cultists and tries to hurl them back into the tunnel. Then he strikes at another death cultist with his Greataxe, reaching over the heads of the Drukhari in front of him. He'll leave the Drukhari to his friends and focus his attacks on the death cultists. He thinks that they're more dangerous than the Drukhari warriors and their puny weapons.
Movement: Now that Khessa has moved, he shifts north by 5 feet. Bonus Action: Use Mighty Impel to throw the northernmost "Death Cultist" back down the tunnel he came from. (30-ft from Tyek, so ~15-ft down that tunnel.) The Death Cultist must succeed on a DC 22 STR saving throw to avoid the effect and not be thrown. Action: Two Reckless Attacks against the next living Death Cultist with Annam's Greataxe as his Elemental Cleaver (thunder) Attack 1: 32, Damage: 26 (magical thunder) + 28 (force) = 54 (total) Attack 2: 23, Damage: 27 (magical thunder) + 29 (force) = 56 (total) Free Action: Roaring.
Because of Reckless Attack, all attacks against Tyek have advantage until the start of his next turn.
Vrox says to Lord Akkron, at his side, "I wonder how many cultists are inside! I was hoping to get into the Golgari caves before we had to deal with these cultists." As he speaks, he moves his mark to the southernmost death cultists and smoothly fires his bow at them.
Movement: Only move, if needed, to get a clear view to his target. For example, he could move in an arc east and south. Bonus Action: Reassign mark to the Death Cultist farthest to the south. Action: Two attacks on the southernmost Death Cultist with Dragon's Wrath Longbow (150/600) Attack 1: 28 Damage: 14 (magical piercing, including HM dmg) + 8 (radiant) = 22 (total) Attack 2: 33 Damage: 20 (magical piercing, including HM dmg) + 15 (radiant) = 35 (total) If either of the attacks hits, he does an additional damage: 6 (psychic), or if it was a critical hit, 8 (psychic) Free Action: Talking

Khessa's Initiative: 17
You see the new threat come out, and thus have initiative to choose what to do next
Akkron Initiative: 16
Unhappy that the market got rid of individual purchases for one-off subclasses, magic items, and monsters?
Provide feedback!
Clarac initiative: 12
What shall you do (so I don't lose the thread...)
Khessa has two enemies nearby... she wiill try to finish off the most wounded. If both are healthy, she will target the demon to her left.

[[OOC: @Aaggie - just let us know what the initiative order is so that we all know when its our turn to post.]]
The blood demon falls to your onslaught
You all go as a group first, followed by the opponents

[[OOC: Ah! Thanks. I thought that you were running this one with individual initiative.]]

Round 3: Tyekanik
Tyekanik roars at the new opponents as he turns his rage upon them. He reaches out to one of the Death Cultists and tries to hurl them back into the tunnel.
