"The invisible one, he's up here."The pale winged tiefling calls out to his associates, then peeking out from his cover and sending another radiant beam of eldritch crackling force against the the closest Darkclad after placing his Hex on him.
Eldritch Blast: 21 Force: 9 Necrotic: 6
He then gets back into cover, trying to spot if any doors are opening on the second floor.
Everyone hits except for Laine. Through a concerted effort all the Darkclads are dead, and Kaelen sends his foe flying with his hammering horns as it dies. 2 explosions soon come after, and the living room is drenched in blood.
End of Combat
Nathaniel sees a glimmer from the Owl door, and it opens for a moment before closing again. Soon after you hear the sound of a teacup breaking as it falls onto the floor inside the Owl room.
"Hurry, we have to stop the unseen one."Nathaniel calls out again to his associates as the last Darkclad falls and as soon as the others reach the second floor again he motions for the Owl door, ready to follow to catch the last one.
Nathaniel is first in the room, and you see the shattered teacup and a frightened dwarven woman wearing an apron with a few tools sticking out of her pouch on her apron. This is a drafting room and in a corner is a leather couch with a blanket. You can see that the women was probably sleeping moments ago. There is acid pooling around the women from some unknown source. You hear a man's voice "Stay back or she will melt under my acid!" The acid begins to melt the couch she is sitting on.
Gavyn is panting a little but whips some of the viscera off of his blade with a disgusted curl of his lip. He turns and pounds up the stairs after Nathaniel.
When the last of the darkclad thugs explode in a gory sight, Nisha finally puts down her bow, wiping her forehead with the sleeve of her robe. The simple movement makes her wince, suddenly reminding her of the crossbow bolt that wounded her earlier, and she casts a look at her arm, noting the torn sleeve and the dark gash showing under the ripped fabric. Before she manages to look at the wound more carefully, her ears pick up Nathaniel's shout from the second floor and with a soft groan, the half-elf heads after the tiefling too, following Gavyn up the stairs.

"It seems to me that is about to happen anyway."The pale winged tiefling says calmly, moving into full cover from the part of the room where the voice was heard, out into the corridor if necessary. "Let her live and you might still survive this. Your plans and your identity have been revealed, there is no place to run after this." He adds hoping to stall for time, at least until his associates arrive and hopefully find some way to reveal the unseen menace.
"Though you cannot see me I see through your lies. Do not interfere with my plans" the invisible man then grabs the women and puts her over his shoulder. "Try to hurt me and you will be the cause of her death."
The women cry out in surprise "Who are you and what do you want?"
"What you have been working on in your basement." says the invisible man
"No please that is too dangerous to use." says the woman
This gives the party enough time to gather together in the Owl Room. The women appear to be floating but you know she is actually being held by the invisible man
Laine runs in, takes in the situation as he catches the back and forth of the man and woman. "She's only a bargaining chip if we care about her living, you know? How about you set her down and you both get to live."
Kaelen just let's out a roar as he strikes. He then rushes in with his companions knowing the mission is not done. His face staying the battleharden expression that it has been as this turns into a hostage situation.
The invisible man considers Laine's proposition but shakes his invisible head "The people I work with would never let me off so easily. I will release her when I get her invention. She will live and I get what I want. A win-win situation" he starts moving towards the door and a drop of acid forms on the hostage's back and she lets out a cry of pain "Now will you move out of the way, or should I continue hurting her?"
Nisha finally makes it up the stairs and reaches the Owl door. The first thing she sees is some dwarven woman floating mid-air, which confuses the half-elf for a second, but she quickly remembers they are dealing with an invisible enemy here so it must be him grabbing the woman. At first she opens her mouth to say something but Laine beats her to it, so the rogue keeps quiet for now. Although she hears the threat of the enemy's words, she doesn't move out of the way instead trying to focus on the woman and if there is anything she can discern from the invisible enemy.

"I don't think you heard me,"he says with a laugh."I don't care if you kill her. You know what I do care about? Her inventions staying put, so it seems we're at an impasse."

Nisha can't see him, but his actions seem reluctant to face the party in combat.
The invisible man tests Laine to see if it's a bluff or not. He splashes the women with acid. She takes 4 acid each turn. Her skin fizzles and blisters as she cries out in pain.
Another slash across his chest causes Gavyn to snap his beak shut tightly. Frustrated, he lashes out with axe against Darkclad 3.
Battleaxe Attack: 24 Damage: 6
Swearing under his breath from the bad luck he is having hitting the creature, he just lunges again in a new attack.

Kaelen just continues to swing at the enemy, this time trying to use his horns to shove the creature away if he hits it.
