Mei watches in awe as Guardok dispels the steamy imp with just a thrust of his rapier, feeling herself inspired by such courage and finesse. Hold on she will. But as the creature bursts and the others attack her friends, the little Dreamer simmers. 

It wouldn't be like the frogs this time. It couldn't be. 

Mei's eyes cloud white and unseeing as, again, the past, present, and future take hold. She feels the tug of infinite threads as the future spreads out before her like an intricate web and, in her mind's eye, she strums a single strand. It snaps and her vision returns just as she looses a streak of lavender light that hits the mephit point blank. The light bursts into tiny arcane butterflies that swarm around it, making it an easier target.


((Round 2
Action: Casts Guiding Bolt on Mephit 4, using her last portent. To hit: 18+6 24 | 9 radiant dmg (; _ ; ) And the next attack on Mephit 4 is at advantage.)

Guardok's small frame and gymnastic training shield him from the majority of the effects of the explosions of steam as he ducks low to the ground.

Dex Save: 18+5=23
Dex Save: 13+5=18

(Extra crit damage: 2 + 6 )

Mae yelps in pain as the steamy creature lashes at her. "Ah! First frogs, now the kitchen is attacking!? That hurt!" Mae whips out a dagger from under her clothes and takes a quick stab at the mephit (3).

Attack: Dagger, 20 to hit, 6 piercing damage

Bonus action: none

ROUND 2

Mei sends a streak of light at Steam Mephit 4, damaging it and causing it to glow slightly

Malvyn puts his hex on Steam Mephit 5 then strikes it with his beam of eldritch force. The creature then explodes in a burst of steam. (Guardok, Knap, and Mae make a DEX Save DC 10 or take 3 fire damage, half as much on a success) 

Mae makes a quick stab with her dagger and hits Steam Mephit 3. 

Steam Mephit 4 stares at Mei with anger as her spell strikes him.  Everyone notices its form starts to become blurry and hard to see. (Blur - attacks are at Disadvantage, but the next attack would be standard due to Mei's spell)

(Guardok is now up! Knap's turn would be right after.) 

(OOC - The above post had just one roll for the DEX Save damage - the number was 3 initially. So it's still right despite the warming.) 

(Dex save: 17, rolled in log)

Guardok tries to dodge yet another exploding mephit as Malvyn obliterates the next in line, but he is a little surprised at its destruction from an attack outside the room.

"If you don't want to be obliterated like the others, I would stand down and explain who disturbed you and how", he says in aquan, lacing his words with distracting and damaging magic.

Dex Save: 3+5=8
Action: Cast Vicious Mockery on Mephit 3. DC 13 Wis Save or take 3 [psychic] damage, On fail, disadvantage on next attack roll

Dec sav: 5 

knap, still overcome with bitter woodland howls in his head projects it again at the Memphit(3). 

action: dissonant whispers, wis dc 13: 12 psychic damage, and use reaction to runaway from Knap.  

ROUND 2

(Steam Mephit 3 DEX Save: 10) and 19)

ROUND 2

Steam Mephit 3 seems to shrug off Guardok's mocking words but Knap's whispers seem to affect it.  It immediately flies away, moving across the room and along the back wall. 

Piero focuses in on Steam Mephit 3 as he casts Mind Sliver. (INT Save DC 14 - 14 or take 5 psychic damage) 

ROUND 2

Piero's attack on Steam Mephit 3 appears to work.  It vanishes in a cloud of steam. 

Across the room from you all, you can see your friends working to keep the swarms of bugs at bay. Aurora uses necrotic magic to cause the numbers to dwindle. Cadoras is using small blasts of force energy against them, while Rubina seems to use a variety of spells to keep them contained.  Mina Lee appears to throw darts of inky blackness at them. And Lesviel has created a fiery sphere that is moving through the swarms, both killing them and keeping many of them contained. They seem to be holding up fine.

ROUND 3

(Mei, Malvyn, then Mae are now up. Only Steam Mephit 4 remains.) 

Out of the corner of her eye, the well-oiled machine of pest exterminators that are their friends has her wholly impressed. If not for the danger, she might stop to fawn over how they each use their magic and abilities. But Mei looks between the blurry imp and the halfling cowered on the floor, knowing if it dies here it'll hurt her too.

She glares at the creature and rolls up her sleeves, toes digging into the ground before she launches herself forward, grabbing at whatever she can of the nasty thing. Perhaps this isn't what Guardok meant by "hold on, Mei," but she holds on nonetheless!

"I've got it," she says to the others as she tries to drag it a safe distance away. Having heard Guardok speaking primordial to them, she offers, "Talk to it or burst it, please!" 


((Round 3
Action: Grapple Mephit 4. Athletics check: 6 + 3 (extracurriculars die) + 6 (bardic inspo) 15.
Reaction: Silvery Barbs if the mephit outrolls her. If successful, she'll give Guardok adv on his next roll (in case he can persuade it to talk)
Movement: Drags the creature to a distance where the steam won't hurt anyone. Two squares to the right maybe?))

ROUND 3

(Steam Mephit 4 - Acrobatics vs Grapple: 20, 2nd roll if needed: 14)

ROUND 3

(OOC - The Silvery Barbs was not necessary. However, I think this is Shoving, which basically works the same as Grappling with a different result. You can only move it 5 ft away from you. You stay put from this action, but still have your movement. But you wouldn't have any more shoves. You can decide if you want to stick to this or try something different.)  

((OOC: Ah, okay. The PHB states: "When you move, you can drag or carry the grappled creature with you, but your speed is halved, unless the creature is two or more sizes smaller than you," but of course whatever you rule goes if you'd rather it still be a shove!! https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/basic-rules/combat#Grappling))

(No, I stand corrected. I completely missed that section.  You could move the Mephit up to 15 ft.) 

"What are you doing!?" Mae looked very concerned as Mei carried the monster off. "Maybe it just needs to cool off!" And with that she whisked out her hand drum and clapped it with the palm of her hand, uttering a word in celestial and a frosty star appeared and shot at the mephit.

Action: Chromatic Star, 11 to hit, 10 cold damage.

Bonus action: none.
