Unable to get a good strike against the SWARM OF UNDEAD RATS, ROSEBUDsends a Magic Stone toward the MASTER OF SOULS.
Sensing the incoming stone the FRIGTHENINGLY THIN WOMANsuddenly puts up a magical barrier deflecting the inbound rock. (Reaction Shield)
The MASTER OF SOULShisses at KHESSA and then with a silvery mist is gone. (Misty Step as a Bonus action.)
The FRIGTHENINGLY THIN WOMAN appears along the hallway of her remnant fleeing SWARM OF UNDEAD RATS.She then creates a fan of dark necrotic energies that flow over REYA, ROSALINE, and ROSEBUD.(Burning Hands except with Necrotic Energies. DC14 DEX Save for Half Damage. Will roll damage on another post.)
(KHESSA,ELIAS,REYA, and ROSALINEare up before the BANE ZOMBIES and MISTYNIP)
Elias waves the tiny quill in the air before producing a puff of poisonous gas that heads toward Z1, poison spray con save DC 13 or take 5 poison damage.
(Correction: As Painted noted in the OOC thread, the Master of Souls would not have been able to cast a 1st level spell on top of a bonus action spell. So, no Necrotic Burning Hands.)
She will instead attack ROSALINE with her Silver Skull Flail.
MASTER OF SOULS ATTACK 1 6 DMG (4 Bludgeoning + 14 Necrotic = 18 DMG. Also, Disadvantage on Saves through end of Master of Souls next turn.)
MASTER OF SOULS ATTACK 2 13 DMG (4 Bludgeoning + 14 Necrotic = 18 DMG. Also, Disadvantage on Saves through end of Master of Souls next turn.)
Rosaline can't help but smile as the witch appears next to her... the woman is in the perfect position for a bit of stabbing.
"Die, witch!"the Inquisitor yells, thrusting with her dual shortswords at the thin woman.
Shortsword vs. Frighteningly Thin Woman: Attack: 10 (not bothering to roll the damage on that one)
B.A. Shortsword vs. Frighteningly Thin Woman: Attack: 20; Damage: 6 (piercing) + 3 if Sneak Attack applies
(Edit because I just realized that the ability score modifier actually doesn't apply to the off-hand weapon when dual-wielding; as far as I can tell the bonus damage from RAGE still applies, though)
Khessa's blue eyes widen with concern as the Mistress of Souls teleports far out of range, threatening her friends who have fallen behind... but Rosaline's ready welcome to the vicious Cultist Leader comforts her.
Moreover, there is nothing the blonde arcane warrior can do about it... the zombies block her path; a chase is impossible - and even if it were possible, leaving the zombies free to act would mean leaving Mistynip and especially Elias exposed to danger! She will not allow it.
The mighty Greataxe is again rapidly swung by the tall adventuress, almost as if it were weightless, after which the heavy blade quickly descends towards the dead flesh of the enemies as in a parody of a grisly butchery job...
[[ OOC: That's a Greataxe! But Khessa would like to take advantage of this to try to reduce the zombies from two to one - also considering that if they attack her she only has half her normal HP left. So... ]]
If Z1 is still alive after the hit:
Khessa sees the tenacious undead stagger - but not fall; she decides to give him an extra 'incentive to rest'! Using the residual power of the blow she balances and unleashes a waist-high return slash at the same zombie...
[[ OOC: Using Action Surge to try to finish Z1 with a last Greataxe attack ]]
KHESSA resigns to the fact that she needs to take out these BANE ZOMBIES. She hacks into the first one with her Greataxe. It staggers but does not fall. She then gets a surge of energies and attacks again, but the blow glances off the chainmail still worn by this former FIST of BANE. (Zombie stat block modified to include wearing chainmail. AC 14)
ELIAS puts a small cloud of poisonous gas upon the first BANE ZOMBIE.It seems to have no effect on the animated corpse. (Zombies are immune to Poison.)
REYA startled by the sudden arrival of the MASTER OF SOULStries to swing her greatsword from around the corner. It harmlessly hits the corner with a shower of sparks.
The dual sword wielding ROSALINE thrust with her shortswords at the FRIGTHENINGLY THIN WOMAN.One of the swords strikes this dark and sinister creature. It hisses at the Inquisitor, clearly in pain but not dead.
The BANE ZOMBIES continues their mindless attacks against KHESSA.
(MISTYNIP is up to complete ROUND TWO. ROSEBUD is up to start ROUND THREE.)
Rosebud recalls seeing a giant, at least to her, snake in the forest. It had wrapped itself around a stag and quickly reduced it to pulp. She was pleased not to have been its target and called it a "huggy snake." With that memory, she now Wild Shapes herself into one. (OOC: Constrictor snake) "Imma gonna huggy you!" she calls out cheerfully before completing the transformation. She then proceeds to the closest person (OOC: I believe and preference is the Master of Souls but have no objection to attacking the Frighteningly Thin Woman) and attacks and attempts to restrain (attack 15, damage 6 bludgeoning, and escape 14 DC for grapple)
The BANE ZOMBIES continues their mindless attacks against KHESSA.
(MISTYNIP is up to complete ROUND TWO. ROSEBUD is up to start ROUND THREE.)
Khessa needs a moment to regain her balance after the blow is deflected by the zombie's armor and is hit by a rotting fist in the pit of her stomach - a blow made violent like a sledgehammer by the necromantic energy that animates those monsters.
The blonde arcane warrior collapses for a moment on her knees, on the verge of vomiting. But her tenacity pushes her to keep up fighting to the end and, spreading both hands on the handle of the [itme]Greataxe[/item], she uses it to deflect the final blow that the other zombie was every intent on giving her and she takes advantage of the moment to get up again.
The tall adventuress is worn out by the though and merciless fight... but she is still standing and fighting.
Mistynip watches as the lady warrior faulters, grasp her amulet, the holy symbol of Helm, tight in her hands, prays Helm strengthen the warrior with your might! then brandishes the amulet in Khessa's direction, bathing her in holy light - restoring 10 hit points.

ROUND THREE
ROSEBUD suddenly turns into a Giant Constrictor Snake and moves through ROSALINE’s space in an attempt to strike and constrict the FRIGTHENINGLY THIN WOMAN who is also known as the MASTER OF SOULS.
Then SNAKE ROSEBUD (OOC-As bad ass as Snake Plissken.) coils around the severely injured FRIGTHENINGLY THIN WOMAN and relieves her of any remaining life with a screeching scream that embodies all the terror she has caused to others over her years.
(Party only has the Bane Zombies to deal with now.)
Khessa is surprised by the soft healing light summoned bt Mistynip, but she soon feels conpletely regenerated, as if she were a new woman! Her blue eyes turns with full gratitude to the chosen of Helm: "Thank you!"
The very next moment, the heavy blade of the Greataxe flies through the air again, headed to the chest of the already partly buccheri zombie.

Elias swings at the passing swarm with his staff, attack 12 for 4 pts
