Upon discovering that her coffin lid is not nailed down, Bridgette will take a moment to cast armor of agathys (using a pact slot) and use her rod of the pact keeper to get back the slot before going to confront whatever is waiting for her outside of the coffin.
You see a large scattering of ghouls and you hear the others emerge from the other coffins. Still one coffin has muffled cries and knocks coming from inside.
After all six party members emerge from their coffins, one coffin is still shaking as there is a seventh person, trapped in a nailed coffin.
Arcana Check: The ritualists casting the ritual and the nothics guarding the ritualists, were all absorbed as energy, killing them, but also empowering the spell above it's normal range and effect. Those who were in proximity of the ritual but not casting, seem to have all been spared, teleported but not killed. It's possible this seventh person may be one of the prisoner nobles.
Trystane listens up as he hears calls for help. A quick count tells him that all of his companions are standing over a field of charred and ripped ghouls. Who is calling for help then? Trusting that the others are more than capable to dispose the rest of the undead, Trystane locates the coffin from which the shouts emanate and tries to rip it open by brute force but it appears to be nailed shut (Athletics: 8). He glances around if there are any tools to help him with the effort.
Sorry, I'm beginning to enter a vacation period and while I will try to check-in at least daily, I cannot promise that I will always be able to do so. From September 1, I should be back to normal.
That's a tough one. It's considered a conjuration. I'm sure it would be squeezing in your coffin with you. Why don't you and it take 5 damage and it comes with you. If that sounds good?

Without Ghouls, you get more Athletics checks and open the coffin.
With the coffin open, you see the elf from the cage.
"Thank you for freeing me. Oh My. This is very bad, but not surprising. I don’t know if the cultists planned to send us here, but here we are."
"Neverwinter has cracks between our world and the Shadowfell—Crevices of Dusk, they’re called. Planar travelers sometimes slip through.
“We’re in a nasty city called Evernight. It’s an evil echo of Neverwinter, populated by undead. We arrived in Evernight’s graveyard because we left from Neverwinter’s graveyard.
“There’s no evidence of the crevice we came through. It doesn’t surprise me that it’s gone; stable crevices are rarer than spontaneous ones. But we need a stable one to get back to Neverwinter."
“We shouldn’t spend a lot of time traipsing through an undead-infested metropolis, hoping to stumble across a gateway to Neverwinter. That feels unsafe. Maybe we should ask around inconspicuously. There’s a market east of the Neverwinter Graveyard, which means it’s likely there’s a market east of Evernight’s graveyard, too. But we should be careful.”
"By the way, my name is Eldon Keyward, priest of Deneir. If you help me out of this pit, I will lead the way."
G4, G3, G9 take 19 damage and attempt a Constitution Save DC 19 vs 19, 19, 19
[[ SERIOUSLY!?!?!? xD THE ODDS! :D ]]
Talorin extends a hand, "Pleasure to meet you, Eldon Keyward. My name's Talorin Tebedi." He pauses for the others introduce themselves and then asks a question, "These crevices of dusk, would they be something easy to see? More of a feeling they're around? Just wondering how we'll know when we've found one."
Mysleen walks up to Eldon, then offers out a hand. "Hello, Mr. Keyward. Mysleen Dhardott at your service." She then looks around to see if Rowdy had been teleported into the pit with them.
Hi there! My name's Elk. I'm NoiSilverheart's doppelgänger. I'm a demi/grayromantic, socially awkward Okie who may or may not be a pyromaniac. *random confetti blast*

You find him sleeping in an un-nailed coffin
She runs over to the coffin and uses all her strength to pick him up, but with her short stature she seems to be struggling. "C'mon, buddy. I need you to wake up."

OOC: How much damage should Necyra take?
OOC: I love how I get 1200xp for doing nothing! Let's do that again! ;-) Bravo to the rest of ya'll for absolutely destroying the whole gang of ghouls.
Necyra, still in her bear form, watches as the rest of the party interacts with the newly freed elf. Her powerful form looms over the scene, a silent guardian. The elf, Eldon Keyward, seems relieved and grateful for their rescue. His mention of Crevices of Dusk piques Necyra's interest, a potential means of returning home and thwarting the cultists' plans.
As the party begins to discuss their next course of action, Necyra makes a decision. The bear form offers a certain advantage in terms of strength and endurance, but it also limits her magical abilities. With a focused concentration, she begins the process of reverting back to her human form. Muscles contract and bones shift as she reverts to her natural shape.
Standing tall, Necyra addresses the group. "We must proceed with caution. Eldon, your knowledge of these 'Crevices of Dusk' could be invaluable. Let us press on and find this market you speak of. Perhaps there we can find answers, and a way home."
The party stands ready, their focus sharpened by the recent encounters. The path forward is uncertain, but their determination to unravel the mysteries of this dark realm is unwavering.
OOC: How in the heck has Mysleen not taken ANY damage yet? I've looked through past posts who knows how many times and haven't found a single instance in which she's taken damage.

Does Bridgette still have her shadowspawn?
Unhappy that the market got rid of individual purchases for one-off subclasses, magic items, and monsters?
Provide feedback!
That's a tough one. It's considered a conjuration. I'm sure it would be squeezing in your coffin with you. Why don't you and it take 5 damage and it comes with you. If that sounds good?
Does this damage happen before or after casting Armor of Agathys?
Speaking of... did G3 and G4 take the 25 cold damage for hitting Bridgette while she has armor of agathys active?
Unhappy that the market got rid of individual purchases for one-off subclasses, magic items, and monsters?

It happens in the vortex, so before Round 0 and you cast your spell in round 1
I missed that. G3 and G4 are dead and Yurgojin's second attack kills G9 instead of G4 so after the Ghouls attack, there are no more enemies.

Since Bridgette apparently missed a turn or two, is it acceptable to say that she cast blade ward when she got out of the coffin?
