Celeste wiggles her fingers, stepping forward a few feet and then takes up position. She draws her celestial bow, peering down her sights to the beast directly ahead. As she has many times before, she swiftly releases two vibrant arrows in quick succession. As if one's guiding the other, it streaks through like a shooting star.

Because I don't think I rolled it at the start of the day.
just an unstable unicorn.
Vanizi shifts her Hex then launches two bolts at the Barlgura (blue) she is able to see, as she casts Eldritch Blast.

Davis opens the secret door and sees the two brutes standing there. Before he realizes it, the entire party runs by him or shoots missiles past his head. "Wake Up!" he thinks to himself, looking over at the metal plates.. He then yells out "Charge!", hoping that no one saw how slow he was to react.
He will move into the room, directly between the Barlgura. [square next to the C on the map]
He will join in on the blue Barlgura, until it falls, the move to the next.

Vesta watches with dismay as the strange creature really tears into Katarina. Angry, the sorcerer decides to see how the creature likes fire.

Zyl can't get to the other baddie since she's all big and stuff but she CAN throw her weapon at it! Angrily, of course.
Attack 1: 28 to hit, 11 + 5 (elemental cleaver) + 3 (rage bonus) = 19 thunder (+3 more from Giant's Havoc: Crushing Throw? I'm not sure if this is additional or instead of rage bonus)
Attack 2: 28 to hit, 16 + 4 (elemental cleaver) + 3 (rage bonus) = 23 thunder (+3 more like above if that works)
(I'm assuming that the demon does bludgeoning damage).
With each attack that lands, the wild magic around Katarina lashes out, dealing Force damage.
The demon takes 4 + 1 + 4 Force damage.
Then the wild cat attacks recklessly at the demon twice.

Unhappy that the market got rid of individual purchases for one-off subclasses, magic items, and monsters?
Provide feedback!
The party quickly finishes off the other barlgura demon, a whirlwind of death moving almost flawlessly through the area! (Combat over!) Searching the area, you see that the demons were scratching out the names on the memorial plates with their claws.
The passage to the west ends in a door (#4) with a sturdy padlock on it - like the ones from the other two cells. The keys you took from the cult mages in C14 open the lock easily! On the other side of this door is another 15'x15' crypt, which smells like a sewer. A woman sits on a mattress atop a low shelf, her once-fine clothing in tatters and a silk scarf wrapped around her face. She is huddled in the corner, but glares at you above the scarf. (map)
Love God. Love Others. Any Questions?
"Greetings" Davis says to the woman, "is your name Indrina by chance? If so we've been looking for you. If not, well, would you like to leave this place?"
Vanizi, who hasn't been quite sure of the name, nods as Davis speaks. "Yes, we'd be glad to help you get out of here."

"Why yes, I'm Indrina Lamsensettle. And I would REALLY like to leave this stinking crypt and return to my estate, get cleaned up, and douse myself in perfumes! By the sounds from a moment ago, I take it that you have already taken care of my guards?" she replies to Davis. She is eager to leave, but will need you to show her the way out...
Love God. Love Others. Any Questions?
"Yes, your guards have been dispatched" he says, "and we can certainly see you to the exit safely. Is there anything you can tell us about your captives, the cultists and their plans? Also are you hurt, do you need any healing?"
"And do you know anything about other captives?" Vanizi asks. She then looks at Davis. "Are there more on the list we were looking for?"

"One more Eldon Keyward, a scholar specializing in the Outer Planes" he says. "Almost there."
As you are walking her out of her cell and towards the way out of the crypt, Indrina looks a bit baffled at the mention of cultists. (Davis and Vanizi - both of you make a Persuasion check. If either or both of succeed a DC18, read the spoiler below. If not, Indrina doesn't admit to knowing anything and only talks about the various perfumes she intends to douse herself in once she gets the stench of this place off of her skin and out of her nostrils! =)
Indrina collected information from skilled genealogists and assembled proof that Lord Neverember isn’t descended from Neverwinter’s great hero, Lord Nasher Alagondar, as he claims. Indrina assumes Lord Neverember wants to silence her for what she’s discovered.
Love God. Love Others. Any Questions?
Persuasion 23
"These catacombs are a hideout for cultists of the god Vecna. You were not the only prisoner they had. I do not believe Lord Neverember was involved here. Do you have any idea why cultist would want you captured? Have you spoken with anyone while down here?"
(Vanizi Persuasion: 20)
"That is interesting information, but I do agree with Davis that this isn't likely Lord Neverember's work."

"I thought for sure that he knew what I had discovered and wanted me silenced. But the ones who captured me did say something about 'my valuable secret.' Do you think perhaps they want to know what I know, and use it to blackmail Neverember? I do thank you all for rescuing me - I'll make sure that you have front-row seats to my next performance...a yuletide ghost story!" (Unless there are any other questions for her, you can pick up where you left off or pick one of the other doors to investigate =)

"Secret? What secret"" Zyl flutters over and pokes the lady gently. "Fairies love secrets! I bake them into brownies!"
(Zyl is fine moving on too)
