To Sera it felt all too clear—the cultists weren’t just fighting, they were activating something, and this whole cursed sewer might be rigged to bury them alive. The tremors under her boots confirmed it.
( fail insight. Gets 6 )
With a sharp grunt she hurled the thrashing, sack-wrapped cultist away, letting him share the fate of his fanatical kin as the chamber rumbled like it began to rumble apart.
( drops cultist but keep his bag. Athletic crit , 25 to dump him out of the way. Sleight if hands 12 to keep his sack)
But she kept the sack clutched tight in her grip, whatever prize he had been so desperate for now hers. She turned sharply, meeting Hastos’s eyes, catching the concern burning there even in the chaos. Her lips twisted into a wry, pained grin. “I believe we’ve outlasted their hospitality… let us run!” No more words wasted—Sera sprinted south, her battered body forcing every ounce of speed she could muster. She waved her companions on with urgent gestures, urging them to flee as the ceiling groaned above. Skidding around the corner, she tore her sunblade free, its radiant energy blade bursting forth with a hiss, casting steady light into the dark, trembling corridor as they made their desperate escape.
Dumped unceremoniously, Sargonnas Recruiter Black skids into the darkness, wincing and cursing his undignified treatment all the while.
Sera gains a Sack of Random Scrolls and Books! It weighs 30 lbs, and can hold another 20 lbs of supplies. Please add that to your encumbrance. Sargonnas Recruiter Black takes 2 Damage (Bludgeoning) from the fall. He is Blinded (from Darkness spell), and Prone.
As you pass by Sargonnas Recruiter Gray, he snarls at you. "Coward!"
Sargonnas Recruiter Gray has already used his AoO this round.
Ororana hears the command from the darkness, and agrees with the assessment. Unhappy about leaving though, she takes a swing at Sargonnas Recruiter Gray on her way out!
Ororana Moves South 5' out of the Darkness and Attacks: 24 (Crit) Damage: 8+4 = 12 (Slashing)
Blood courses through her veins and her muscles are buldging more than usual as she charges down the hallway behind Sera. Her teeth are gritted in fury, and her hair is wild with magical energy as she runs... the sounds of Sargonnas Recruiter Gray howling in rage and pain echoing behind her!
Ororana Moves South to the end of the entrance.
Sargonnas Recruiter Gray, wounded, but hardly out of the fight, steadies his mind, and whips his head around, glowering, searching for a target to destroy.
Sargonnas Recruiter Gray Holds Action to Attack the first person who passes by him: Held Action: Psychic Knife Attack: 11, Damage 24 (Psychic) Held Action (Multiattack): Psychic Knife: Attack 25, Damage 28 (Psychic)
Top of the Round:
The Cult Leader laughs maniacially as Sera and Ororana flee the scene. "You think we fear death?! More will come for you! They'll hunt you down and destroy you and everything you love for this betrayal!!"
“Hey, now no need to dump the whole place on our heads! You just had to ask for us to go”Merkas sneaks ip behind grey as Ororana smacks him with her axe “Aha! Great Idea!”Slashing at the back of his legs to remove his concentration or at least bring him down to a kenders eye level, there a surge of power and the butterflies around him flash brightly as his dagger makes contact. (Butterfly narration is Tides of chaos to give advantage on first attack roll and allow for sneak attack to be added: To hit = 17 DMG = 5 + 5 Sneak attack damage, Expertise NIK to hit = dirty 20 DMG = 2, bonus action: Two Weapon fighting: To Hit = Nat 20 total 26 DMG = 3)
Once he’s done slashing at the guy he moves as far as his little legs can carry him, hoping to dodge what comes after. “Ya’ll wanna bury yourselves here then fine, enjoy!” He runs right up behind Ororana and nearly buries his nose into her backside as she slows to take the corner. “Let’s go tights don’t think they like us none”
Merkas's daggers tear at Sargonnas Recruiter Gray's back and thighs, and he whips around angrily, howling in pain and indignation. You feel a forceful breeze graze by your cheek as you charge past, then a dagger slams into your back. Magical energy surges through you, and stops the knife from doing as much damage as you skitter away to safety!
Ororana hears you skid up to her, and reaches a helping hand out to drag you along. "C'mon baby." You can hear regret in her voice. She clearly wanted to kill them with her own hands. But a cave-in will suit the need well enough.
Holding space for Hastos's turn... after you, the cult members are up.
In a blink, Nare is on the trail right behind them.
Hastos pulls out his great axe and readies. But the ground under him begins to tremble. The cultists have triggered some kind of trap to bring the walls down on them all!
Sera forcibly ejects the cultist from inside the bag, sending him stumbling towards the darkness. Sensing his opportunity, Hastos send his axe backwards, clotheslining the cultist at the midriff! ToHit : (CRIT 19+8=27), DAM: ( 7+13=20). The cultists’ momentum carries him into the darkness.
Filled with the urge to escape, he watches Sera slip by the gray cultist, then Ororanna, then Merkas, but it appears the gray cultist is ready for Hastos to make his attempt. His bloody face a sneering horror.
Hastos looses a fireball at the gray cultist (Firebolt: ToHit (21 +2 =23), Dam (8)) then charges past him, swing his axe blindly as he stays focused on getting to the door. (ToHit (26+1=27), Dam (7)).
Assuming Grey is still up, I’ll try to take him out from a distance. If he’s down, I’ll try to detect the other cultists in the darkness and have a go at them. Perception: 10 Firebolt: ToHit (21 +2 =23), Dam (8) Javelin: ToHit (26+1=27), Dam (7)
Hastos will make his way out of the room, but if Merkas and Ororana are still in the doorway, and assuming Hastos survives the cultists AoO, he will turn, and try to use his shield to block any attacks to his friends trying to leave.
