Khessa is relieved that, albeit slowly, the infernal enemies are falling. Smiling confidently, she winds Hazirawn once more, first with an ascending slash to the last devil's thigh, then with a returning strike at waist height, after which the mighty blade is back in guard.
Khessa pats her friend enthusiastically on the shoulder: "Well done, Zale!"
"I really don't understand why they spoke peacefully with us first, and then attacked us upon our return..." the blonde arcane warrior muses. "It must have had something to do with the instructions Varram gave them when he left—instructions the devils may have decided to follow to the letter, distorting their meaning."
"Be that as it may..." the tall adventuress reasons "Varram must have continued through that door," and points to the remaining door, the only one in the room not yet explored. "And he'll probably be forced to return through that door. Instead of us going after him and continuing to be worn down by one fight after another, we could barricade the door with this table and rest as long as possible."
"If we can rest until we're fully recovered, we can resume our search for Varram—who may also have been detained" Khessa finishes explaining. "If he returns before we've finished resting... at least he won't be able to surprise us! He'll find the door locked, and the sound of him trying to open it will betray his presence. Then we'll face him—but at least without facing any other creatures or traps before him!"
"What do you say, friends?" the blonde arcane warrior searches her companions' blue eyes.
"It sounds a good plan my dear" Eric replies "but I'm afraid we can't rest here much long since the power which endure in this place will corrupt our supplies" he says, spilling few drops of fresh water in the palm of his hand watching them evaporating. "we may indeed barricade the door but we should rest here just for the time we need to recover some strength and healing our wounds" He then looks to the others to check who is most wounded (he assumes Zale is).
OCC: Eric would propose barricading the door, taking short rest. He eventually would use his healing powers again if short rest won't suffice.
Khessa runs a hand affectionately over her beloved dwarf's shoulders: "One of my many blessings is being able to count on your wisdom, which tempers my sometimes overly impulsive plans. All right, we'll be content to rest a little."
"What's true for us," the blonde arcane warrior muses aloud "should also hold for him—so he shouldn't be long in returning. But if, by the end of our rest, Varram hasn't come to us... we'll go to him."
After barricading the door with the heavy table, the tall adventuress conducts an ritual to protect the area: "For added security, I've made sure that any guests cannot enter without... announcing themselves," she winks. [[ OOC: She ritual-casts Alarm, choosing the audible option. If the room is too large to be covered entirely, she then targets the door (the only unexplored one). ]]
During her rest, Khessa relaxes by immersing herself in the numerous additions recently made to her spellbook.
Once she's finished, the blonde arcane warrior seems to have significantly recovered her physical and mental energy: she smiles, first at her beloved dwarf, but soon afterward at everyone else: "Well, it seems our friend Varram has been held. Let's go find him—if he were to die far from us, his Mask might be teleported away, like Rezmir's did some time ago... We must find him—and knock him out, not kill him."

Round 4
Khessa, only one Devil left standing!
Player: Any Good Alignment // DM: Lawful Evil
Khessa is relieved that, albeit slowly, the infernal enemies are falling. Smiling confidently, she winds Hazirawn once more, first with an ascending slash to the last devil's thigh, then with a returning strike at waist height, after which the mighty blade is back in guard.
Khessa's Multiattack:
Hazirawn 1st Attack: 21 Damage: 13 (magical slashing) + 5 (necrotic) = 18
Hazirawn 2nd Attack: 14 Damage: 16 (magical slashing) + 1 (necrotic) = 17
That's some nice dmg!
Kriv follows up with a swing with the Fist of Silvanus: 15 to hit for 12 magical bludgeoning dmg.
The Devil still stands though.
Next up: Jean
Player: Any Good Alignment // DM: Lawful Evil
(Posting slightly early so i don't hold things up)
Zale will attack the nearest enemy.
Dagger 1: 26 to hit 8 damage
Offhand dagger: 8 to hit (i'm assuming miss)
Sneak if applicable: 9
And with that, the last Devil falls. Zale may descibe the ending of this combat scene.
Player: Any Good Alignment // DM: Lawful Evil

END OF COMBAT!

No problem. You'll complete a short rest without any problems (or guests).

Finally! Khessa is back at full HP! Ready to go, as soon as everyone is.
OCC: Eric is still full hp so he does not actually need to rest. He may use curative spells at someone else if short rest won't suffice.
OOC: Same with Jean! She'll help to keep a lookout.
