Cassian freezes momentarily at Rixian's outburst, but otherwise ignores all of your words as he slowly turns to look at you, tears glistening in his eyes. “Oh. How unfortunate. You were not supposed to make it this far.” He places a hand on his head, “How far must I go?” He grits his teeth and stands. Voice quivering with anger, regret, and grief, he lowers Elenor's head to the hard ground.
As he stands, you all get a look at Elenor. You were to late, just like the dragonborn bounty hunter, a thorny rose has sprouted from her chest...
“As far as I must. I will do what I must.” He draws his sword, now his voice seems to harden. “I’m so close…”Then he starts approaching you...
“That’s enough Cassian.” The paladin stops dead in his tracks, as a female voice sounds from deeper inside the room. He starts to turn around, and suddenly a thin vine shoots through his chest.
“But…you promised.” He chokes, then the vines yank him towards the back of the room where a mass of roots and vines coil around a pale elven woman with blood red eyes.
With this sudden movement, your attention is no longer just on the traitorous knight. Now you take in the full expanse of the room. You can see that the walls are covered in vines and roots, and so is the ceiling. On top of this, there seem to be bodies on the walls and hanging from the ceiling, wrapped in vines similar to the way a spider saves it’s food.
The Woman laughs, “Yes, I promised you would see your precious wife again.” She grasps Cassian’s chin, and more vines grow around the armored elf. “And you will. In the afterlife.” She releases his face, and the vines yank him down into the ground.
She then turns her red gaze to the party and smiles, showing pointed fangs. "More little insects come to their deaths. Ah..your sacrifice will not go to waste. You bring the final piece. With your blood I will be freed." Here eyes turn to Mina as she says her last line. The vines holding her writhe forming a thorny makeshift garment as she begins stalking towards you.

"You bastard!!!" Leeta yells at Cassian as it becomes clear that Elenor is beyond help and that the paladin has been working with the enemy all along. As soon as he is yanked to the ground, the halfling's angry eyes turn towards the elven woman: Rose Withermore. Finally, the Black Rose, as Rixian would put it, had made her appearance. Cassian would end up paying for his crimes—if he survived the upcoming fight—but the armored elf had now faded from Leeta's thoughts, her attention squarely on the fanged woman standing before them. "You bastard.",she repeated, her voice sounding now calm and focused. The monk breathed deeply, and prepared her attack.
Kulogall’s readied action goes off, and he hurls a ball of flame at the chest of the evil elven woman. He flies up and then slightly back 10 feet when he casts the spell, ending up toward the back of the group. ((Held action goes off prior to initiative.))
Cast : Chromatic orb : 18 to hit, for 8 points of fire damage.
He was right. She had been alive all this while... From the recent murders in the village to that illusion of that young girl and finally the haunting memories of the Wildland Shifters facing his wrath... it was her doing. He gasps in place as he briefly goes into a vision of his shifter friends, wondering what would've happened if they were ones that were caught, especially Daisy, the girl he'd never want to lose...
Suddenly, Rixi's trance was replaced... as his eyes give off the most menacing volcanic glow yet, almost as red as Rose's herself. Releasing his held action, his entire armour lights up in red flames alongside his glaive as the thought of dying to some measly witch before his goal of vengeance triggers his unbottled rage to come out once again, even if it mean tearing down anyone else who dares to stand in his field of attack. Suddenly, his main focus of vanquishing all those waters that wronged him in the past immediately fades from his memory for this moment.
"Baka... If I go down, I'll bring you down with me then, Kuroba- AGH!" He screams and doubles back in pain over the familiar searing burn in his chest, stalling him from releasing his held burst of anger.
Rowarin watches in dismay as Cassian lays Elenors' head down, as the rose sprouts from her chest. Damn, too late... he thinks, as he slips his device into the pocket. He lowers his gaze for a moment, saying a silent word in her memory, but a loud commotion ahead disturbs his thoughts and forces him to focus on the situation.
Looking up at the scene unfolding, he watches as Cassian is yanked and slammed into the ground by this magical being, seemingly being killed, not that they will know for sure yet. He watches as Kulogall unleashes his fiery spell and flys up into the air, and Rixi seemingly... catch fire? Now that's cool, he thinks to himself.
"Watch those vines folks, and remember her tricks!" he shouts as he changes his stance ready for the attack:
Mina is shocked. She stands there frozen for a moment as the scene unfolds. Who was this woman and why did she need fey blood? Speaking of... she slowly starts backing up as her friends start moving forward. She watches as their readied actions go off and she gets ready for battle.

Mizu sends his Ice Knife careening towards Rose. The frozen shard flies over his companions heads and aims directly at Rose's chest.
Ice Knife: Attack: 14 Damage: 10
She must succeed a dex save of 11 or take an additional: 6 cold damage
Mizu doesn't give himself time to think. Cassian is dead. Oh well, saves them the time and trouble of fighting him too. Now they need to focus on getting rid of this accursed creature. Instinctively, he moves in front of Mina, locking his icy blue eyes onto the flaming red ones of the strange woman ahead of him. "Come no closer, devil."He says in a voice so quiet only those closest to him would hear. He raises his swords, intent on defending Mina and the rest of his companions from this threat. He won't fall prey to whatever charms she throws at them this time.
Rowarin quickly assesses the room, sensing that there is enough room to maneuver about without stepping on each other. He moves just off-shoot from the entrance way, clearing some space for the others but will remain the 60 feet away from Rose. Planting his feet (no pun intended) he whispers the words and sends a 3rd level Scorching Ray towards Rose.
Ray 1: 17 to hit, 4 fire damage Ray 2: 24 to hit, 6 fire damage Ray 3: 22 to hit, 8 fire damage Ray 4: 17 to hit, 7 fire damage
Rowarin will stay back and continue to assess the situation.
Mina was ready for this. She shakes her head and looks around very briefly - not this. But was ready for Rose to head straight for her. As the woman attempts to grapple the sea elf, Mina finds strength to push her away and sneers at her. (Athletics: 23) "You'll have to do way better than that, you weak, fragile bloom."
Seeing her friends immediately move to protect her, it warms her heart. Wanting to do what she could to help them, and to make sure this Rose creature couldn't charm her, she casts protection from evil and good upon herself.
She then narrows her eyes at Rose, "I am the monster slayer, not you. You are now my prey." and she designates Rose as her Slayer's Prey
Leeta doesn't think twice, and as soon as Rose moves towards Mina she runs swiftly after her, clenching her smalls into fists that are more than ready to strike. As she punches, she addresses Rose. "Don't...", she says as she strikes once (To Hit: 17 / Damage: 6) , "...you...", another blow follows (To Hit: 18 / Damage: 9) , "...dare!", Leeta continues (To Hit: 13 / Damage: 10). Finally, the mini monk uppercuts the elf right on her chin, saying "Leave Mina alone!"(To Hit: 24 / Damage: 11)
Action: Two unarmed strikes / Bonus Action: Spent a ki point to do a Flurry of blows (two more attacks)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
As Rose makes the mistake of underestimating him in order to attack Mina, Mizu takes the opportunity to slash at her back. There are many things he could say to the demon elf in that moment, but as a boy of few words he simply takes the opportunity that is handed to him.
AOO:
Attack: 22 Damage: 9
Feeling like his spells will do minimal damage... based on their encounter with the plant dogs, he finds himself wishing even more that his mentor was present. Or that he had bothered to learn some fire-based spells like Kullogal in spite of his water and air heritage. Gritting his teeth, he instead slashes again with his sabers.
Like Leeta, Rixi doesn't even dare to think twice after the pain searing his chest finally ceases. Eyes and armour burning with the thought of his closest friends suffering because of his failure to resolve his one final goal, he unload his glaive without saying a word and, whilst he cannot spin it due to how cramped the passage is, he springs from the back and shoves the others aside before delivering two powerful slashes with only a single arm holding his flaming weapon, nevermind the fact that there are three of his 'allies' in front of him. (Though, rp wise due to how big his weapon is, Mina and Mizu would immediately want to dodge his hits as he does so; Leeta wouldn't have any problem with this)
Being slow to act, Kulogall huffs in frustration. He was going to surround Rose in a wall of water or a searing burst of flame, but he could not get this off in time, and now others are engaged with her in hand to hand combat. “Your time is at an end. Your hold over this village…is over.” he says to himself.
Then, he opens his mouth as if to vomit and a huge, undulating, warbling mass of energy comes out of his mouth, straight away at Rose. What is strange is that the instant it exits his mouth, it splits in two, both masses of energy targeting her. He takes a deep breath in after this mass of energy escapes his mouth, anger all over his features as he is huffing and puffing, preparing for his next attack.
Casts Chaos Bolt, using a sorcery point to twin the spell and target Rose with both :
1st chaos bolt : Comes out as a burst of cold energy, 9 to hit, for 9 points of cold damage and an additional 5 points of damage.
2nd chaos bolt : Comes out as a warbling mass of lightning, 26 to hit Rose, for 10 points (and an additional 3 points) of lightning damage. As his eyes grow wide (double 5s), the warbling bolt of lightning splits in two again! And it seeks to target Caspian or any of the vines that surround Rose, seeking even further damage.
Split 2nd bolt : Splits apart as force damage, 26 to hit, for 7 points (and an additional 5 points) of force damage.
Assuming the 9 above doesn’t hit, the other 2 bolts generate a total of 13 points of lightning damage and 12 points of force damage.

Rowarin watches in awe as the party seemingly co-ordinate their assault on the enemy with critical precision, almost like they have been banded together for many years. Leeta flying in with her fists beating in a flurry, Mizu taking their hooked sabres out and slashing quickly, followed by Rixi's huge polearm cutting through the air, and both Mina and Kulogall unfurling magical energy. All in a matter of a few seconds!
"Stand down vile cretin, feel the wrath of the whole town of Withermore behind our strikes!"
With that, Rowarin summons a fiery Chromatic Orb and hurls it at Rose, still choosing to remain close to the entrance.

They must be squashed... Turning to strike at Mizu, Rixian's blade catches her shoulder and she screams as the flames sear her skin. Her screams are double as Kullogal's spell strikes true as well.

Round 2
As Rowarin casts his spell, Rose takes it's impact with her right arm to protect her face, the flesh burns off almost to the bone. However, many of her other wounds seem to have healed already...
