Renjin with their crackling blade fires off at the Herald but misses wide and blasts into the wall behind them (to which Morte says something about not destroying his workplace)
Britari casts the spectral hand and attempts to move the blue lever that Maurice moved...but it doesn't budge!
Esta manages to fire off a shot at the all to mobile corpse, hits, but it seems to shrug off the attack! (resistance)
Slag, seeing the attempt to flip the switches fail, tries to pry the door open, but can't get any good leverage, and the door remains closed!
Flesh Golem rushes at Esta and attempts to slam them twice with it's gory hands! (Slam 1: 8 , 17 ; Slam 2: 11 , 15
(Round 2:)
With a sullen, twisted but also almost mundane expression, Maurice reaches over, and pulls the red lever on his side of the door. Fire erupts from the walls inside the chamber! Britari and Slag, make Dexterity saving throws, DC 18. Take 36 fire damage on a failed save, half on a success as well as 1 point of exhaustion from being exposed to the intense heat. Maurice then shuffles along his way, as the flames broil the chamber into ash.
Herald of Dust fires back at Renjin with a couple of necrotic bolts! (Bolt 1: 22 , 11 ; Bolt 2: 12 , 12)
The warforged's shield becomes bright red moments before the rest of his metal exterior does the same. In a matter of seconds the hulking warforged collapses in front of the door.
OOC: Welp! I am down for the count but not DEAD DEAD since I normally have 37hp. If I get blasted next turn however I will be so I'm hoping that the fire is done? and not a scenario where it just STAYS on until the red lever is pulled to turn it off or something.
Renjin gives his sword a flat look. "Huh, this whole being dead thing must have made me rusty." Then his eyes widen for a moment when he hears the burner's turn on and the movement inside the room. Welp...apparently Esta didn't manage to open the door. Sigh. Seriously?! He just met these people! They can't die yet! He hasn't even gotten the chance to have fun with any of them yet!
As he turns to face the red lever, the Herald's two bolts fly past him slamming into the wall. Renjin doesn't even seem to notice how close they were to hitting him, had he not turned they probably would have. With that, he pulls the red lever (Free item interaction). As he does this, the flesh golem rushes over and starts slamming it's nasty hands onto Esta. No! Not her too! Why do all these mortals get hurt so easily? Ugh, well he doesn't want to waste his curse, so she'll just have to deal with it herself. Once again, he brandishes his sword but this time he rushes toward the Herald and swings the glowing sword at him.
After releasing the blue lever, Esta looks dismayed as the door appears to not budge. She sees the fires burning in the room and the 2 of them go down, causing a bit of a panic as she sees the flames searing their flesh... and whatever Slag is.
Before she has time to react, she is slammed against the wall by this creature oh my god it's touching me, and manages to slip under the first attack but isn't fast enough to stop the second attack - which brings her agonizing pain. She lets out a scream involuntarily, as the wind is knocked right out of her.
"Get away from me, creature!" and Esta will spin around the target, using her Cunning Action: Disengage to be able to slip away out of reach. She will run north up the corridor 30 feet, and then use her action to fire at the creature once again.
Renjin unfortunately misses with their attack again, perhaps coming back is messing with them a bit. The red lever does not budge unfortunately.
Britari clings desperately to life as the fires rage.
Esta dashes away before sniping another shot at the golem (resistance)
Slag, like Britari, is clinging on to any hope as they lay in the burning chamber.
Flesh Golem sees Esta spring away and turns to protect its creator instead, attacking Renjin instead: Slam 1: 12 for 21 bludgeoning damage ; Slam 2: 13 for 13 bludgeoning damage
(Round 3)
Unfortunately, with the doors locked, the fire continues to burn: 21 fire damage
The Herald of Dust attempts to blast Renjin as well: 16 to hit, 16 necrotic damage
"Geeze I wasn't messing with you mister Nasty!" Renjin says, barely dodging the first blow then being smacked right in the face by the second. He sounds more emotionally hurt than physically hurt despite the blood poring from his nose and right eye. "GAH! Why do I have to be so fragile?!" He flicks his sword to the side, and glares at the flesh golem. As soon as his gaze meets the creature, his eyes flash vibrantly and the flesh Golem erupts in brilliant green flames. (Reaction Hellish Rebuke.)
Hellish Rebuke: 20 fire damage or half damage if it succeeds a Dex save of 12
Blood still draining from his face, he begins to face the Herald once again. Only to be slammed in the face by the creature's necrotic blast.
Renjin falls to his knees, then collapses flat on the ground.
Standing there stunned almost, the screams of her newly found companions fading and ceasing to exist, Esta is at a loss for words. This creature seems to not be phased by her attacks, and she realizes she has no hope. Turning to look at Renjin to mention that they should think about bailing, he takes a huge whack of necrotic energies to the face, crumpling to the ground. Esta's eyes glaze over, the sullen realization that this is it. She's probably going to die... but not today.
Esta spins on her heels, using her action to put the hood up on her [Tooltip Not Found] and to run north up the corridor to look for a way out, her eyes tearing up slightly as she says "Sorry everyone..."
As she uses her 30 feet of movement, if there is no door north that she can slip into, she will attempt to hide using her Cunning Action: Hide (bonus action).
OOC: The tooltip doesn't work for items, it was referencing the Cloak of Elvenkind, which has the following description:
While you wear this cloak with its hood up, Wisdom (Perception) checks made to see you have disadvantage, and you have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made to hide, as the cloak's color shifts to camouflage you. Pulling the hood up or down requires an action.
Ugh, I feel so weak right now.” Renjin groans from his position on the ground as Esta races by. Oh? She’s retreating? Well being a fragile mortal that makes sense, though he has no clue where she’s running too. He sighs, guess he’ll try something new.
”Hey you.” He says to the herald. “How’s about you quit fighting us, and let my companions and I leave this place.”
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Slag is still alive (technically) as the flames continue to sear his body - death save! 6
OOC: So the flames knocked me down to 0 and I made a death save on my turn (so 1 save) and then i took damage at the top of the round so automatic fail (1 save 1 fail) and now I am making my round 3 save... (the one above). Let's hope it is a save and that the flames turn off soon! If I stabilize or somehow or crit and regain 1 HP, I could use a bonus action to get second wind and try to help do.. something :D
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Renjin rebukes the golem! (Dex save: 10) They then attempt to make the herald stand down! (Wis save: 7)
Britari is, unfortunately, toast.
Esta ditches the group and slips off northward, to the doorway up there, finding a cold locker, which is lacking bodies moving around. (There might be bodies in the lockers)
Slag is slowly melting down...
Flesh Golem rages with a horrid gargle and slams at Renjin again: Slam 1: 8 to hit, 12 bludgeoning damage ; Slam 2: 12 to hit, 8 bludgeoning damage
(Round 4)
Unfortunately, with the doors locked, the fire continues to burn: 11 fire damage
The Herald of Dust growls as Esta runs off and if still up, attacks Renjin to put them down for good: 15 to hit with their blast, 18 necrotic damage.
Renjin sighs when his spell proves useless. “Well I tried.” He shrugs as the next blow strikes him, slamming him backward onto the ground and rendering him unconscious.
With Esta disappearing down the hall, and the others now dead, either from flame or foe, the flesh golem and the Herald of dust grunt and return to the autopsy room. After another half minute or so, the flames die out in the cremation chamber, leaving 2 smoldering piles of Britari and Slag.
(Combat over)
There is a cosmic melody that floats through the Mortuary in disjointed, barely perceptible tones. Esta, you hear it, even as you process the death of your recently made acquaintances. The music fades after a minute or so, and the usual sounds of the Mortuary return.
Esta, what would you like to do?

Correct, the levers are currently locked in place.

The glow behind the warforgeds eyes fade a moment before smoke rolls from his scorched sockets.
Since slag failed his last death save that 8 damage would but him at 3 failed saves. Slag is dead.
Renjin sighs when his spell proves useless. “Well I tried.” He shrugs as the next blow strikes him, slamming him backward onto the ground and rendering him unconscious.
(I suppose I may as well make a death save lol.)
Death save: 7 Failed
