Razz lifts his hand, stepping slightly to the side of the protective line formed by Ada and Garrick. He peeks out just enough to catch sight of one of the skeletons lingering outside the church doors.
"You know, for all the bone-rattling noise they make, you’d think they’d have better aim."
With a flick of his fingers, a crackling bolt of radiant-tinged arcane force launches from his palm, slamming clean through the skeleton’s ribcage. The bones splinter apart with a satisfying clatter as the creature crumples backward.
"Let’s fix that posture—permanently."
His eyes flick upward as a familiar presence catches his attention—Purrsy Clawson, already outside, tail twitching with composed disinterest amid the chaos.
Without a word, Razz reaches out through their magical link, sending a quiet thought:
"Purrsy, take the high ground. Find a perch on the roof and keep an eye on the horde. If anything changes—especially if our smug overlord gets fancy—let me know."
The cat lifts his head with a slow blink of acknowledgement, then slips up the side of the church with unnatural grace. Claws dig in like hooks on silk as he scales the wall, eyes gleaming with sharp curiosity.
Eldritch Blast: Attack 26, Damage 12.
I think Purrsy should have enough movement to climb to the top of the church and get a good spot picked out but I can adjust that part if needed.
Kessintra moves back, standing to the left of the pulpit where Ireena is hiding. Strahd targeting Lucian and moving out of sight unnerves her. She takes aim at whatever enemy is closest to Ismirk.
Action: longbow to hit 23, damage 6 + 6 sneak attack= 12 piercing
Wails from the grave on next closest enemy (excluding Ludmilla) for 1 necrotic damage
[[ From my guess, I assume there's a rather big group of enemies with wolves/cultists/fanatics/bats grouped by each other in the church. And then the skeletons and dire wolves outside, right? ]]
Chipper takes a place in the rafters within the church, climbing up, and draws out a piece of mica from his component pouch with the word, "Kaboom!"
shatter Damage: 5+7+5 = 17 thunder CON Save DC 15 for half damage
The bats are further in than everything else. The dire wolves haven't appeared yet, but the skeletons are outside the door. Overall, that Shatter would hit 3 cultists and 2 skeletons.
As Razz’s gaze sweeps the chaos, he catches sight of Ludmilla still lingering near the doorway—unmoving, uncertain, and clearly not attacking. His eyes narrow briefly, then flick over to Kess.
"Kess—what’s her deal? I thought she was one of his bloodbound nightmares. Why’s she just standing there like a debutante with stage fright?"
His tone is hushed and sharp with curiosity, but there's no mockery in it—just a healthy dose of suspicion wrapped in dry humor.
"I don't know. She's usually one of Strahd's vampire consorts, but now she looks...alive?" Kess frowns and shakes her head. "Seems like the change doesn't agree with her though. I wonder if it's enough for her to come in the church."

Purrsy has enough movement.
The skeleton stumbles back into position. It seems to slouching a bit more than before.

Good point. Ada can make an AoO and they fly through spirit guardians.

Razz smirks as he peeks toward the front line, wings fluttering just enough for dramatic effect.
"Hey Lucian, Ada—still all holy and hearty over there, or should I stop blasting bones and start playing battlefield nurse?"
He grins, already knowing the answer but asking anyway—just in case someone needs a magical pep talk.
As Razz’s gaze sweeps the chaos, he catches sight of Ludmilla still lingering near the doorway—unmoving, uncertain, and clearly not attacking. His eyes narrow briefly, then flick over to Kess.
