The door opens, and you see a large room that has been furnished to resemble a cozy bedroom and study. Stooped over a desk and scribbling furiously on a parchment is a gaunt, robed human man. Standing next to the desk is a one-eyed, bipedal horror with spikes growing out of its back. Tapestries depicting feasting undead creatures hang on the wall.
The man starts speaking in a gruff voice when the door swings open. I thought I told you to knock before interrupting my- he cuts off as he looks up and sees that you are not, in fact other cultists. A twisted smile plays across his face as he invites you to roll initiative!

Ozus can't discern what's being said at the door...it's not in any language that he knows of. It seems to almost be an amalgamation of different languages, weaved together in whatever this ritual seems to be.

Immediately jumping into action, the cultist grabs a staff leaned up against the desk and fires off three quick burst of magical energy, heading towards Khessa, Tristan, and Naero:
Khessa: Attack: 22 Damage: 34 necrotic damage
Tristan: Attack: 13 Damage: 26 necrotic damage
Naero: Attack: 10 Damage: 37 necrotic damage
He then raises his other hand, dark energy swirling around his arm. It streaks into the corridor you're standing in, and suddenly 5 skeletons are marching down the corridor towards you.
Tristan, Naero, and Ozus may act!

Ruven Gilrel (Level 4 Bladesinger)- The Shattered Obelisk
A: Throwing a flask of holy water at a skeleton; Attack: 6 Burning the charge in my Clockwork Amulet to get a 13; Damage if Hit: 1d4 from the bottle shattering, plus 2d6 because the target is undead; 3 (Presumably Bludgeoning) and 8 (Radiant)
Khessa mutters a quick formula, elegantly raising her hand - and the necrotic ray that was about to hit her in the middle of the forehead is blocked by an invisible (but impenetrable) barrier.
[[ OOC: Khessa casts Shield as reaction, negating the attack ]]
Managing to dodge the incoming necrotic attack, Tristan moves up to the cultist spellcaster as he directs, “KJ, protect the rescued scholars.”
Slashing at the cultist with his crystal Longsword, he activates Shining Smite on a hit, just in case the spellcaster plans to go invisible as part of his escape plan.
Longsword Attack: Attack: 18 Damage: 14
Longsword Attack: Attack: 25 Damage: 12
On a hit:
Sap (Target takes disadvantage on next attack)
Shining Smite: 9, iluminated

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Naero
Shifting his weight to one side, Naero easily dodges the blast from the cultist. He continues with this momentum and circles to the side of the enemy, watching as Tristan strikes and illuminates the man in bright light. He takes this as a sign of an opportune time to attack. In a blur of movement he strikes at the caster before stepping back to the edge of the room (if enough movement??)
M - steps aside the blast and continues to the left side then engaging the cultist.
A - Unarmed Strike 1- 13 for 7 Force damage
Unarmed Strike 2 - 11 for 7 Force damage
BA - Flurry of Blows 1 - 22 for 7 Force damage
Flurry 2 - 28 for 13 Force damage
M - retreats away from cultist to a nearby wall (Op Attack @ DAdv due to feat)

Yes, if no one has any reason to stop her, Khessa opens the door from a distance, with her Mage Hand, then looks to see what lies beyond.

((How far away is the cultists? How big is the room? Super speedy monks love room to move))
Ozus growls in frustration, his pact weapon once more forming in his grip. "Hells forbid today get any easier.
Managing to react a split second after the cultist, Ozus hurls a tightly sealed flask at one of the approaching skeletons.
