(Milamber, remember to roll an attack for ray of frost. :) )

(Sorry, doing while at work) 

Attack: 21 Damage: 2

Rosa comes to and splutters out of the water to his feet. He’ll navigate around it so that the monster is between him and Muirdan. Rosa swings at it, but without his usual fury. It seems the attacks have weakened him too much.

Attack 16 Damage 8

 (YES, that means the dice gets doubled right? So 20 damage!)

Seeing his opportunity thanks to the attacks of his companions, the ranger slash with his two weapons trying to get the creature down once and for all

Attack: 6 Damage: 5

Attack: 9 Damage: 5

(Bump)

Milamber slings a blast of frigid magic at the creature, setting a few crystals to form along its body, freezing the water that still ran rivulets down the viney arms. However the eldritch energy from Tengen, and both Grythek's and Muirdan's blows, went awry, missing the creature altogether. However, this flurry of activity left Rosa a perfect moment to strike, and strike forcefully. For a moment, the creature swayed in place before the two halves of the plant body began to fall to the sides, splashing into the murky water.

The splash heralded in a new silence as the chanting stops and the figures fade into nothingness.

Combat over!

Muirdan dislodges his hammer from where it stuck in the floor, and pauses a beat.

"I meant to move him over to you."

Milamber moves over to the plant creature curious of it's nature and begins to search it's body for any clues as to it's origins.

Rosa, breathing heavily, turns to the group and says, “Well that sucked. What are we doing now?”

"Are you sure it's dead. Hit it a few more times to make sure." offers Tengen from safely behind the alter. 

Milamber, you don't really spot anything that would give a clue as to its origin, other than the strong suspicion that it was magically imbued. 

Grythek sits on the floor and breathes heavily. 

"I'll be dammed. My swords could barely damage it. Next time I must use axes.. " he says trying to recover his breath. "Is everyone ok?"

Following Tengen’s advice, Rosa hacks it a few more times to make triple sure that it is dead. “Yep it’s dead.” Leaning on his sword he asks the group, “Do you mind if we take a short rest now? I’m a little beat up. Preferably not in the sacrifice chamber.” If everyone agrees, he’ll walk outside the chamber, and take a short rest.

(hit dice) 15

"Good job, can't be too careful in a crazy house of horrors!" Tengen looks around the room once more checking for threats and then moves to the exit. "Shall we get out of this awful house?  I really don't want to spend any more time in here than necessary."

(OOC: Just need a decision from everyone in the group regarding if you are short resting in the room with the weird niches)

(I wouldn't mind a short rest)

OOC not really needed for Tengen but I don't mind.

(Rosa needs it, he’s at 8 hp, and this house is nuts! Plus ooc, we haven’t checked this house for any loot yet, or even checked all the rooms for that kid that might be a dead ghost)

(short rest sounds nice )
