Danu moves up with Einnob and slashes at the armour, aiming for a joint (rolled an 18). She didn't have the precision needed, but it was close. A bit more of its armour falls to the floor (did 5 damage).
The animated armour lurches forward and punches Einnob, then tries to give her a big shove to send her through the balcony railing to drop down two floors.
Attack (punch): 14 Damage: 8.
Attack (shove): Strength (Athletics check) 20.
Einnob's Strength (Athletics) check to resist the shove: 7.
Einnob takes the blow easily on her armour but then the creature steps forward and gives her a violent shove. Einnob staggers backwards, through the rotting rail and plunges down two stories (20ft) to the ground.

Party turn!
Einnob grumbles and dusts herself off gingerly. She looks at the grandfather clock, and takes a moment to do some breathing exercises (using Second Wind as a bonus action to get back 3 hit points). Then she moves back up the stairs and uses her action to Dash (take another move action).
As Einnob comes storming up the stairs, debris in her hair, with a face looking like she means to SMASH SH!T UP, the animated armour looks a little worse for wear (it is "bloodied", meaning it is down to half its hit points or less).
CQ fires eldritch blast at the animated armour (attack roll 20), activating the hex as it strikes (for a total of 7 damage). More of the armour is blown away and drops to the floor. Everyone can see inside the armour now, dark and empty within. The construct staggers with the force of the blow, but rights itself and gets ready to attack.

Asha's first blade severs more parts of the constructs armour but her second stab misses completely.
The construct looks very wobbly now, bits of armour hang off it, it staggers, but follows its instructions to attack anyone closeby. Surely one more blow would finish it.
The construct lashes out - one fist punches Asha, the other at Danu.
CQ fires of an eldritch blast at the armour, hitting it square in the gap in its chest, blowing it apart. Bits of armour go flying everywhere, then everything is quiet.
CQ inspects the south door and finds it to be plain and unadorned with no keyhole. She opens the door and looks in the room.
Dust and cobwebs shroud this elegantly appointed bedroom. A large bed stands against the far wall, its once-opulent coverings now faded and threadbare.
Beside the bed, a mildew-covered towel covers most of a dusty yellowed book on one of its two end tables. On the far side of the room, you can see a pair of two more stained-glass doors, their windows flecked with dirt and grime.
To the left stands an empty wardrobe, its doors slightly ajar. Mounted beside it stands a full-length mirror, its wooden frame carved to resemble ivy and berries.
To the right, an empty doorway leads into a darkened nursery. You can see the silhouette of a crib, its quiet form veiled by a hanging black shroud. A strange substance seems to cover the floor beneath it.
CQ enters the room and the nursery room door slams shut, making everyone jump. CQ then hears a young woman's quiet humming from that room. Then the warlock looks at the cobwebby book, which is appears to be some raunchy romance novel called "Blue-Blooded Lips".
As she looks around the room, CQ notices that the blankets atop the bed lift slightly away from the mattress, as though something is lying atop the mattress beneath the blankets. As she watches, she can see the coverings, almost imperceptibly, slowly rise and fall with low, rhythmic rustling.
Asha rolled a 12 (she forgot to add her +6 to hit) which means the point of her sword skids off the armour of the enemy.

I use short circuit on the armour. 18 and do 5 damage.
The electricity does not have the same effect and the armour appears unaffected.

Danu swings her scimitar but it clangs against the armour without doing it any harm.
Asha makes a second attempt to strike the armour with her short sword, using sneak attack.Attack: 23 Damage: 6
Asha uses her bonus action to attempt to strike the Armour with her other short sword
Attack: 8 Damage: 5

The Animated Armouir's wild swings at Danu and Asha misses completely.
Party's turn again!
Einnob finally arrives after racing up the stairs again, red faced and angry. She bellows and swings her sword at the construct in a wide arc.
Attack: 18 Damage: 14
Unfortunately the armour of the construct deflects Einnob's blade!

(rolled a critical hit doing 14 points of damage)

Meanwhile Danu casts cure wounds on Einnob and most of her wounds heal (heals for 5 hit points, Einnob nearly back to full health).
