ROSALINE 18 KHESSA 18ARMY OF DARKNESS 17 ROSEBUD 16 BANE CULTIST 7 REYA 5 ELIAS 3 MISTYNIP 0
ROUND ONE
ROSALINE, KHESSA, and the ARMY OF DARKNESS pursue the BANE CULTIST.
And like a little dog chasing a ball, ROSEBUD,follows the other as quickly as she can go.
Suddenly the door to the southeast room opens.
The chased BANE CULTIST offers a wicked grin and “disengages”, taking a step back. He calls out that they are under attack.
Two female BANE CULTIST flood out of the room and attack the lead SKELETON. But it is clear that they were not ready. Two more male BANE CULTIST are in the room equipping longbows and quivers. This room has a busted-up sarcophagus. Around the sarcophagus is bedding where these cultists have turned this room into a bunkhouse. The room is lit by two flickering torches in wall sconces.
REYA,ELIAS,and MISTYNIP move to the action.
ROUND TWO
(Rosaline, Khessa, the AoD, and Rosebud can take actions before the Bane Cultist. Map updated.)
Khessa quickly assesses the situation: the two Cultists who are actually able to fight have no ranged weapons and the enemies who are preparing ranged weapons will hardly have a useful line of fire. She therefore makes retreat without lowering the guard the only member of the Army of Darkness engaged, leaving a possible gap for the enemies.
The blonde arcane warrior, on the other hand, maintains her current position and, partially protecting herself with the edge of the corridor [[ OOC: Counts as half-cover, I hope? So +2 AC? ]], launches a swing of Greataxe against the closest Cultist [[ OOC: Cultist 2 ]].
The other skeleton instead keeps ready to strike the first enemy that will occupy the gap left by the companion [[ OOC: Skeleton 3 takes the Ready action: it will attack the first enemy who comes in range ]].
Upon seeing the traffic jam, Rosebudcurses, "Oh, rabbits and Ringwraiths," clearly annoyed about this turn of events. She really wants to see what's in the room to the left of the corridor. However, if even Khessais holding back from entering the room on the right of the corridor, well, then Rosebuddecides she could wait it out a bit. But waiting is not really her forte. "Hurry it up, up there!" was her ever so helpful contribution to the fighters and fighting going on. She does turn sideways so she can keep an eye on what is behind them since it would be terribly embarrassing to be ambushed from behind.
curses! Elias thinks to himself, he moves deeper into this collapsed tunnel, looking to see if he might be able to hide behind some of it. Hoping he might enough to bring Misty with him.

ROUND TWO
KHESSA attacks the second BANE CULTIST around the corner, but the corner provided the cultist enough protection to prevent any damage from the blow.
KHESSA orders the second SKELETON to disengage from combat.
ROSEBUD valiantly guards the party's rear.
The second BANE CULTIST goes after the third SKELETON, but not before the third SKELETON gets a bash in. The third one moves to the corner and goes after KHESSA.
The fourth one opens the door to the south and steps in. He then readies his longbow.
The fifth and sixth fire difficult arrow shots at KHESSA. The sixth one's arrow actually glances off the third Cultist's chainmail.
REYA from around a different corner likewise fires a difficult crossbow shot toward the second BANE CULTIST. The result is the same as all of her crossbow shots.
ELIAS takes a position around a corner opposite REYA.
MISTYNIP gets in line.
(Rosaline and Round Three. Which means Rosaline has a couple of sets of actions.)
[[ OOC: I hope Cultist 2 gets taken down by Khessa + Skeletons now, but if not... almost anyone can imitate Rosaline and attack thjat target from distance! We should be able to get rid of him soon. ]]
Khessa is pleased that one of the Cultists has moved to the 'point of death'... that is, to the exact intersection of the corridors. From there, both the undead and most of the rest of the party should be able to attack her - she shouldn't be able to hold out for long. And, with any luck, after she dies, another Cultist, caught up in the heat of battle, will advance, exposing himself in the same way.
Following the blonde arcane warrior's instructions, the Skeleton attacked by the Cultist counters with a swing of its own mace.
The other Skeleton, who would be hindered by the corner, is instructed to try a different move and it simply feints and distracts its opponent, thus allowing the tall adventuress to suddenly bring down her heavy blade towards the Cultist's head while she has looked away for a moment.
[[ OOC: Skeleton 3 attacks Cultist 2. Skeleton 2 Helps Khessa, granting her Advantage on her attack against Cultist 2. Khessa promptly attacks Cultist 2 with Advantage. ]]
If the Cultist in the 'point of death' [[ OOC: Cultist 2 ]] is still standing, the Skeleton behind Khessa [[ OOC: Skeleton 1 ]] attempts to finish her off by throwing its Spear.
Elias runs after Khessa, trying to keep an eye on which way she went but not getting too close.
Mistynip runs after Elias watching his back in case he finds himself in trouble...again.
Rosaline also follows Khessa. She takes the Dash action to get as close as she can to the cultist.
Unhappy that the market got rid of individual purchases for one-off subclasses, magic items, and monsters?
Provide feedback!

Go on Elias, I have your back. See if there is a place for you to hide.

With little else to do at the moment, Rosaline chucks a javelin at the cultist she can actually see from her current position.
Javelin vs. Cultist 2
Attack: 14; Damage: 7 (piercing)
