(So, KHESSA only took 7 points of damage on the Crit.)
[[ OOC: Great! So her Second Winds heals her back to full - her spirit has given her unexpected reserves of energy, enough to make her forget even the brutal blow she suffered. But she has now run out of aces up her sleeve, so next rounds try to be less lucky, will you? 😉 ]]
REYA wades through the murky water and fires her crossbow. The bolt sails over everyone's head and splinters in the southwest corner beyond the altar. She mumbles something like, "Never was good with this thing."
Elias slushing his way through the water, rounds the corner and quickly access the situation, spell book in one hand he raises his other just above his head, as the magical quill appears he weaves the arcane pattern and mutters the words of power, three glowing darts fly from the quill striking the heavily armed man, magic missile dealing him 8 pts of force damage. As a bonus action he'll slip off the nasty begger robe he's wearing. Neverwinter's ghost that smells! I think I've got fleas now.
Blindly following the helmed man’s orders, the first BANE CULTIST brings forth a powerful blow again the RAGGEDY MAN. Infused now with magical energies, KHESSA reacts to the attack by putting up a magic Shield. This prevents the attack from the second BANE CULTIST from landing a blow. The helmed man simply missed his attack.
Riding on REYA’s shoulders ROSEBUD conjures up some entangling vines against the BANE CULTIST,though KHESSA gets caught up in the vines as well. The second cultist becomes entangled. The others manage to break free of then entangling vines.
RAYNOIR brings down a flame-like radiance down on the entangled second cultist.
REYA moves up and fires a bolt toward the first cultist, but it sails harmlessly overhead.
KHESSA takes a Second Wind and then misses the first cultist with her Greataxe.
ELIAS doesn’t miss with a volley of Magic Missiles.
ROUND TWO (START)
Like RAYNOIR,ATLAStakes advantage of the entangled second BANE CULTIST and sticks her with an arrow in a particularly vulnerable location. She survives.
The second BANE CULTIST frees herself from the entangling vines.
The first BANE CULTIST and the HELMED MAN continue their attack against KHESSA.
Suddenly, the HELMED MAN calls out a command.
Both the first and now freed second cultists reacts to the HELMED MAN'scommand and attack KHESSA again.
Voice of Command. The (Helmed Man) selects up to two allies within 90 feet of it that can hear its commands. Each ally can immediately use its reaction to make one melee attack.
Having used her magical resources to the last, Khessa, once again alone to face the assault of all, is unable to parry the blows that rain down on her from all sides and collapses with a groan.
Elias seeing Khessa fall runs to her, standing over her body the young mage, tears rolling down his cheeks, touches his thumbs together and yells BURN!!! at the three cultist. Casting burning hands for 17 pts of fire damage to each, Dex save is DC 13 for half damage.
The healing flow heals most of the bruises that had caused Khessa to collapse and her blue eyes open... The scene is still that of the chaotic and desperate struggle for life and death that she remembered. Life and death not only hers - but also of her brave companions, like Elias, who has stepped forward, despite being practically without armor, with a determined expression on his face that makes him seem more mature than his young age. And also of the poor prisoner of these Cultists, who will probably meet an unenviable end, if they are allowed to win.
The blonde arcane warrior, although still in pain, does not hesitate to grab the Greataxe again, to get up, and to start swinging it again...
[[ OOC: Khessa wants to start reducing the number of enemies - she therefore attacks the most injured enemy among the three - if there are still three... because in the meantime the enemies have probably already been hit by the terrible blast of fire unleashed by Elias - are they all still alive? Or has someone finally fallen? Khessa attacks the most injured among the survivors anyway. ]]
