When it's Dav'eed's turn again, he will roll his first death save =) Thanks for not making it his last death save! 8-O

Hilke continues to battle the female trog in front of her, hoping to finish it off finally. 
(Attack: 19, Damage: 3) 

"Come on! We've got to get to Dav'eed!" she calls out to the others as she sees him fall. If by some chance the trog she is fighting is defeated, she will move around to try to position herself near the Fiendish creature. (Otherwise stays put to avoid AoO) 

(The first attack from the Infernal trog didn't hit with a 13, right? So the total was only 20 if I counted correctly. Still enough to down Dav'eed.)

Zelaerys feels that he should tire more during this battle but Huttmoff's aura perpetually boosts his stamina and he is able to shrug off the attacks of the females with litte more than a few scratches (6 damage taken, Concentration: 3). Seeing Dav'eed succumbing to the fiendish troglodyte, Zelaerys was caught off guard, his concentration slipped and his connection to Yondalla was severed long enough to stop his blessing. He screams in pain as if he was in Dav'eed's place and begs Yondalla for an intervention (Dav'eed heals 7 HP), he yells at Dav'eed, "Don't! Fight back!" (Dav'eed may use his reaction to attack the fiend because of Voice of Authority.) Then, Zelaerys conjures daggers of pure energy again to fight off the females.

Action: cast Sword Burst, DC 13 Dex save or 1 force damage
Bonus: cast Healing Word for 7 HP
End of turn: 8 temporary HP (rolled weapon damage on sheet because it is the correct dice with correct mod.)

(Healing for 7, + 7 temp HP from twilight aura. Thanks, y'all!!)

Gagging and retching from the stench of the Trogs, Huttmoff again tries to stomach the stench: 13 (in the Game Log on the character sheets. So sorry I forgot the last time. I thought I had done it but obviously not! My bad.)

 Huttmoff looks around at the difficult battle going on around him. He wants to get the Fiendish Trogs attention, trying to distract from Dav'eed, so he squares up with the massive beast and swings his mace again:

• If still poisoned: Attack: 14 Damage: 4
• If he has shaken off the poisoning: Attack: 17 Damage: 3

Dav'eed feels the cold embrace of the eternal night wrap around him as he falls, his body torn apart by the fiendish troglodyte. And then...

...healing radiance courses through his blood, warming and reviving him, followed by the embrace of a different darkness - the blessing of the goddess of the moon, restoring his vigor and giving him the strength to stand a fight just a little bit longer! 

(1/2 move to stand from prone.
Attack the fiendish trog: 23 Sneak attack damage: 15!
Reaction - Voice of Authority 2nd attack: 24 Damage: 9)

Female Trog Dex Save DC 13: 15

Female Trog Dex Save DC 14: 15

Female Trog Dex Save DC 14: 11

Flurry Damage: 19

Hilke brings her mace down, splitting the skull of the lizard before her. Leaping atop a boulder to her left she jumps across and rushes the Fiendish beast, just as it tears a chunk from Dav'eeds shoulder, dropping him carelessly to the ground. The beasts eyes scan over its shoulder, noting Hilke rush in. Turning swiftly to face the Goliath pounding on it from behind.

Swallowing the bile, his throat burning Huttmoff overcomes the Stench long enough to smash his mace, several scales split, ichor splashes from the wound. Enough to gain the wrath and enmity of the Fiend. Dav'eed doesnt even hit the ground before Zalaerys yells in defiance. His word carries the will of his god. Dav'eeds eyes snap open, a gust of air into his lungs has him bouncing to his feet and plunging the Rapier through the fiends back and out the sternum.

Zalaerys continues to be surounded by flying black dagger like shards. The Female next to him has come to expect it, ducking out of the way.

 The female next to Zalaerys continues to battle, dancing past the black shards of force she leaps at the shorter mans throat.

Female Trog Bite attack against Zalaerys: Attack: Attack: 5 Damage: 3

Female Trog Claw attack against Zalaerys: Attack: Attack: 18 Damage: 5

The Fiend, smashed, stabbed, and run through, blood seeps from multiple wounds. The beast throws its head back, bellowing in pain, a primal shrieking horror. As its eyes descend to stare madly into the orbs of Huttmoff something had changed. The intelligence had fled leaving nothing but a berserk madness. In a rage the fiend flails about with its dagger like claws, attacking everything and anything within its range. Swiping through the goliath, spinning it catches the Female Trogs, Hilke and Dav'eed, committed attempt to dodge the sweeping death.

Dav'eed, Hilke, and Huttmoff are within 5' of the Fiend when it spins and whirls, flailing claws.

Make a DC 14 Dex save, Damage 19 Slashing or half on a save

One of the Females has her throat ripped out, the other, a swipe across the jaw decides to duck and run from the berserk monster. (The female between Huttmoff and Hilke is fleeing straight south)

Initiative

1. Your party<---Your turn any order
2. The Fiendish Trog is badly hurt, in a berserk rage flailing at everything around it.
3. The female Trogs next to Zalaerys fights with fury. The Other is badly hurt and fleeing.

(Hilke DEX Save: 12)

The flailing claws tearing through her side, Hilke only stays conscious due to the protection from Twilight Sanctuary.  She holds her ground though, trying to finish off the fiendish trog. If the attack hits, she calls out, "May the light of Lathander cleanse you from this place!" as she delivers a Divine Smite.
(Warhammer Attack: 12, Damage: 3; plus 5 radiant damage from Divine Smite) 

 (Twilight Sanctuary Temp HP: 7) 

Zelaerys is locked in battle with one of the female troglodytes and only looks up when the fiend reared up. That was enough for the female to land a solid hit, though, bolstered by Huttmoff's aura, Zelaerys barely noticed the blow. Partly, also because he is taken aback by the savage fury with which the fiend cuts down one of his own. Zelaerys shakes himself free of the captivating sight, trusting in his companions' ability to take down the monster, he focusses again on the female and strikes at her wit his staff.

Action Attack female trog, hit 21 for 3 bludgeoning damage
Bonus: (in case someone goes down - I think that could only be Dav'eed if he fails the save) cast Healing Word (in this case please roll the healing yourself)
End of Turn: 3 temporary HP

(Huttmoff DEX save: 14, takes 9 damage)

Huttmoff is covered in small wounds as the Trog lands small blow after small blow, but Huttmoff is BARELY able to shift his weight, keeping the assault from doing more than cosmetic damage. He sees that the Trog is weakened, and that Zel seems to be healing people as they go down, so he swings hard with his mace to help bring it down. Attack: 12 Damage: 4

• If someone else had already taken down the Trog, he would just attack whatever female Trog is still alive.

Temp HP: 4

DC 14 Dex save: 13 (fail...could you hear the sound of me sucking air through my teeth?!!?)
Healing Word (thank you again!!!): 7 plus Twilight Sanctuary temp hp: 5

Once again, the fiendish troglodyte rends the rogue's armor and flesh, drawing long, jagged, blood-red stripes along his torso and arms. Once again, Dav'eed feels the greedy grasp of death pulling him in. And once again, the half-elf is ripped back from the precipice of death, restored by the faithful warriors and priests of gods he vaguely knows but commits to learning about!

"This ends now, foul monster! Go down and STAY DOWN!!" (Rapier attack: 11 {sucked to watch the digital dice almost hit an 18, then fall to a 6 =(  If it actually pierces the trog's tough hide: 11 damage)

@Rhanloi: Don’t forget the reaction attack from Voice of Authority, you may yet get revenge. I should mention that Zelaerys is fresh out of spell slots.

(OK - didn't see that in your last post and didn't want to assume. Happy to stab at it again!! =)

And yet again, the Authoritative Voice of Zelaerys urges Dav''ed to push further and faster than he thought possible! (Attack: 18 Sneak attack (since the last strike probably didn't hit...): 14)

Zalaerys bludgeons the female Trog, knocking her flat to the ground with a solid thud. The Fiendish Trog wails with its claws,. Already your group is torn and bloody, only the boon of the gods has kept you on your feet. Even so the battles has taken its toll, how much more can your little group take.

Hilke and Huttmoff continue to bounce blow after blow, ineffectually off the beasts hide.  Huttmoff leans back, just missing a swipe, the mad eyes of the beast ready to tear and consume any flesh it can rip off. The hot breath of the Infernal creature brushes against Hilke's scalp, saliva drips in a warm ooze down her neck. Dav'eed, blood spraying from many wounds begins to fall. Zalaerys refusing to let him go down bolsters his flagging strength once again. Dav'eed rises, desperate, defiant, he commands the beast to die, yet his Rapier does little to enforce his command.

A flurry of attacks from the Fiend push the three of you on to the defensive, despairingly batting the swinging claws away. Zalaerys demands an end, demands Dav'eed finish this. An opening, the Rapier slides in under the jaw, up and out. The beast staggers, Hilke steps back as it smashes to the ground at her feet.

Your ragged breathing, the crackle of the fire, and a splash as the Female flees under the water. The cavern descends into an eerie stillness.

Initiative is over

"I can offer some healing," Hilke says as she barely has taken a moment to catch her breath after that battle. "Though maybe we rest and see how well we can recover."  She steps back from the fallen trog, taking a moment to take stock of her own injuries. "I think we've prevented something awful from happening here. Imagine if there had been more of those fiendish creatures! We can figure out our next steps as we rest."  

Dev'eed sinks slowly to the ground, sitting with his head down as he progressively slows his breathing. "Yeah...a rest sounds good..." he says weakly. "I want to thank you all for your amazing efforts to keep me in the fight. I surely wouldn't be here now if it weren't for you - and for that you have my alliance and friendship always." 

After a while, he will pull out a small kit and clean his wounds as best as he can, then rub a salve from a small jar into the slashes. It smells of lemon and mint, and the half-elf sucks air through his teeth as he applies it. It obviously stings and burns, but in less than a minute his face is calm and he looks peaceful. Eventually, he will check out the shaman and the females, looking for clues to where they came from, or anything useful for the group. (Use both HD for short rest healing - but he's back to full health!)

"Thank you Hilke, I'm fine. I fear I may have asked for all and more of what Yondalla will grant me on a single day," says Zelaerys and checks on everyone to make sure that no one has sustained any lingering injuries. During the rest period he helps to search the bodies and the ritual site at large. Specifically, he will ritual cast Detect Magic as Huttmoff had sensed something earlier. During the rest, he will approach each of the companions and thank them for their valiant intervention (Inspiring Leader) and cleanse water (ritual cast Purify Food and Drink) to refill their reserves. 

(I rolled the twilight temporary HP for the remaining rounds to determine with how many temporary HP we will leave the scene - and it was 8 for me. Inspiring Leader grants 5 temp HP to everyone who've got less from the Twilight Sanctuary.)

The fire begins to burn low, the shadows deepen within the cave as you take the time to tend your wounds and poke around the site. Woven into the headdress of the  Shaman, a pair of earrings, small gems that cast back the light of the fire. Zalaerys notes they have a minor dweomer about them but not the strength Huttmoff had detected earlier. Nothing else in the chamber reveals the weave, it must have been the ritual itself.  

Rising with stiff muscles, the wounds hardening, Dav'eed works the kinks out with movement. None of the Trogs had any possessions, other than the Shaman they didn't even have weapons. The remains of several species are scattered along the far wall. Half chewed and stripped bones, strewn about, discarded. At least one of the remains are humanoid, if the torn pack, its contents tossed about is evidence. 

Collecting the items you are able to put together a pretty decent burglars kit, twine, caltrops, picks and pry bars, thins silk rope, and other tools of the trade. A thin tube stands out from the rest of the items.

Short rest complete

Hilke finishes up her rest, recovering a bit of her strength.  Noting the thin tube amongst the other items, she takes it, examining it closely. (Investigation if needed: 0) She considers the other items. "I've no use for these tools, but can take the rope if nobody else wants it." 

(OOC - Uses 1 hit die to recover hp: 9; she'll then use 3 points from her Lay on Hands to heal completely.)
