ROSEBUD from REYA's shoulders misses with both dagger and Magic Stone.  The dagger glances off the first BANE CULTIST's armor and the Magic Stone ricocheted harmlessly off her shield.

(RAYNOIR and ATLAS are up before the CULTIST.)

OOC: I will - as in Brother Ray will - when its daylight here in AUS after just arriving back home. 

RAYNOIR, has been rather busy and preoccupied but still very much in the game! Takes all his frustrations and angst and directs it at the Cultist.

ROUND TWO

ATLAS 21 BANE CULTIST 17 ROSEBUD 11 RAYNOIR 7 REYA 6 KHESSA 4 ELIAS 2

ATLAS puts an arrow in the second BANE CULTIST.

The BANE CULTIST gang up on KHESSA.  The Warrior Mage falls.

ROSEBUD misses with dagger and Magic Stone.

RAYNOIR sends a Sacred Flame against the second BANE CULTIST, but the Cultist’s shield blocked it.

REYA moves up and Lays a Hand on KHESSA, providing the Warrior Mage with some healing.

With KHESSA still down, ELIAS moves and sends a wave of flames upon the CULTIST and above the Warrior Mage.  The flames kill the Second BANE CULTIST.  The other two survive. 

KHESSA rises and hacks into the first BANE CULTIST.  It survives but it is hurt.

ROUND THREE

(ATLAS is up. The first Cultist has 7 HPs left.)

Atlas will continue hurling arrows at the enemies from afar aiming next at target #1. With them surrounded by his allies he sees no reason to continue hiding. The enemy is definitely preoccupied and unexpecting of his onslaught.

ATK: 24 [Nat 20]

DMG+SNK: 7 [😑 terrible crit damage... but at least I killed one.]

HELMED CULTIST stabs at KHESSA with his spear.  ATT 10 DMG 7

(Party is up.)

Round 3

Seeing the Cultists falling one after another and the Leader trying to strike her but missing miserably, Khessa takes heart further: 'He's scared! It's time to hit him with everything we've got!'

The buxom blonde barrier swings her heavy Greataxe again with renewed vigor, attempting a diagonal slash to the chest.

Khessa's Greataxe Attack : 7 Damage: 9 (slashing)

RAYNIOR, attacks Bane Cultist with ihs puny yet pretty mace - noting his cantrip wasn't much 'chop' - | 8 | 4 |

[OOC: I gota get me some fighting improvements lol]

Elias, thankful that Khessa's not dead, calls the magical quill back to his open hand flips it about as he traces the arcane symbols in the air and speaks change to cold, a green puff of gas leaps from the quill towards the armored cultist, halfway to him it changes from a foul poisonous cloud to freezing cold puff of wind. casting poison spray  Con save DC 13 or take 9 pts cold damage. ((using my Awaken Spellbook to change the damage type from poison to cold))

When Reya bends down to heal Khessa, Rosebud jumps off her perch. Seeing only the Leader standing, she fingers the mistletoe on her cloak with her right hand and mutters something along the lines of "hard, smash, bash" while caressing her quarterstaff in her left. The staff seems to straighten a bit before she starts yelling, "Bad baddie, bad!" and swinging the staff wildly around. Cast Shillelagh on quarterstaff, Attack 15, damage 4. 

REYA drops her crossbow on the stairs.  She then draws her Greatsword and moves through KHESSA and RAYNOIR to get to a position to attack the HELMED CULTIST.  

The Paladin brings her Greatsword down on this abominable enemy with divine force.  ATTACK 21 DMG 8. DIVINE STRIKE 8 TOTAL 16  (Rolled on character sheet.)

(I moved Raynoir's token through Khessa to a point where he can attack the Helmed Cultist.   Technically, he did not have enough movement to move two squares through the water and one square through Khessa, but it was close enough.)

HELMED CULTIST CON SAVE 9

ATLAS 21 BANE CULTIST 17 ROSEBUD 11 RAYNOIR 7 REYA 6 KHESSA 4 ELIAS 2

ROUND THREE

ATLAS fires another arrow.  It strikes true, killing the first BANE CULTIST.

No longer with soldiers under his command, the HELMED CULTIST begins to sense that the situation has turned and makes a feeble strike against KHESSA.

ROSEBUD jumps off REYA and then moves above the fallen first cultist.  She then turns her staff into a Shillelagh and attacks.  It was a solid strike, but just missed having what was needed to damage the well-armored HELMED CULTIST.

With a bit of determination, RAYNOIR moves up and attacks with his pretty mace.  Unfortunately, the mace is still pretty.

REYA lays down her crossbow. Then with determination moves past KHESSA and RAYNOIR.  He then delivers a divine strike against the HELMED CULTIST hoping to end this.  But the cultist survived the Divine Strike.

KHESSA slips a little with the uneven footing of the stairs and missed her attack against the HELMED CULTIST.

ELIAS converts a Poison Spray into a Frost Spray.  The sturdy HELMED CULTIST was able to endure the attack.

ROUND FOUR

(ATLAS is up again.)

Map updated.

(Should ATLAS's attack NOT drop the HELMED CULTIST (AC16 HPs 14 remaining), I am going ahead with the HELMED CULTIST's actions.)

The HELMED CULTIST had a new experience.  He now has a little real fear in his life after years of dominating others.  Particularly after being hit with divine energies that flowed over this evil human.  However, he muscles every ounce off resilience and attacks this new foe.

HELMED CULTIST attack REYA ATT 18 DMG 7

(If the Helmed Cultist is still up, then it is everyone's turn again for Round Four.)

(Ha! Ha! He rolled a one again.  He is trembling in his iron helm.)

Atlas, seeing the tides turn, keeps firing. Not letting up until everyone is safe from harm.

ATK: 12

DMG+SNK: 9

As his arrow sails past the final enemy, he lets out a disappointed grunt as he begins to ready another arrow.
