The girl with the long curly red hair claps her hands as the two warriors valorously turn over the stone to grant them all entrance into the barrow, then following the others down with graceful ease. "A light luring people astray is known as a Will-o'-the-wisp where I'm from, could be dangerous too." Maddie calmly points out as the receding lights are spotted.
"So you are the commander of these brave heroes then, good to know, I wouldn't want to disobey any orders from such a valourous man as you good dwarf." She says with a bow and a small amused smile. A gilded flower then appears in her slender hand and after a short melodic rhyme in sylvan a new fey appears before her, wielding a fey blade. "Oh, and this here is Tempest, another one of my friends." Maddie cheerfully and excitedly explains as the new addition to the group bows mid air while hovering courtesy of her green gossamer wings.
The small gathering of fey then follows along to explore the barrow.
Summoning tricksy fey.
Perception with assistance from Willow: 20
Tempest
With Maddie's comment, it becomes too much for Meira to hold her tongue. "To be clear," she starts in a firm but calm tone. "Kithran is not in charge. There is no commander."
There's a pause before she adds. "Now is not the time for this conversation."
Rabbit Sebrica, Sorcerer || Skarai, Monk || Lokilia Vaelphin, Druid || Britari / Halila Talgeta / Jesa Gumovi || Neital Rhessil, Wizard || Iromae Quinaea, Cleric
Meira Dheran, Rogue || Qirynna Thadri, Wizard || Crisaryn Melkial, Sorcerer
As the group moves deeper into the barrow to the north...
Meira,
You do hear some slight clicking noises coming from the south. It reminds you of the way Lord Kithran's skeletal minions sounded as they walked out of the throne room of Axeholm.
Kithran,
Your maul explodes into flame, illuminating the passageway. The ember flicker of light quickly dominates the dim eerie blue that continues to move away from you to the north.
You take in a disgusting, noxious smell that emanates from the blue light. As you round the corner of the passage, you see the light hovering only 10' away and recognize it as undead.
Zephyros,
You look for traps as you follow close behind Kithran in the cramped corridor, just as Kithran steps forward towards the floating blue light, you notice the ground beneath the Paladin about to give way. Unfortunately, your warning comes a moment too late.
Maddie,
You pull out a gilded flower and use it to summon Tempest. Afterwards, you follow along in the back of the pack...
Willow flitters and flutters between and around the other party members. She confirms to you that the light hovering just beyond the reach of Kithran is a tiny Will-o-wisp
... Suddenly, the earthen floor gives way under the Paladin's heavy boots. Kithran falls into a 10' deep pit trap filled with jagged rusty swords taking 3 bludgeoning and 9 piercing damage. As he does, the eerie blue light darts at him with lightning fast speed, but (Attack: 2) it misjudges the height of the dwarf and completely misses him with a crackling lightning attack.
[[OOC: This should resolve quickly, Everyone may act in any order. It is the group's initiative now.]]

"Kithran only joined us a short while ago," Gareth continues, backing Meira up. "Although we met him before. That's a bit of a long story."
The ranger watches as Maddie summons yet another fey creature to aid them, what looks like a tiny fairy wielding a tiny sword. "You sure have a lot of tricks up your sleeve," Gareth comments. "Not that I'm complaining or anything. More help is always welcome."
As their new paladin friend leads the way, he suddenly falls into a hidden pit, and the dancing lights converge on him, lashing out at him with lightning magic. It's a little cramped in the corridor, but the ranger nocks an arrow and releases it at the will-o-wisp.
Longbow +1 Attack 1: 21 to hit for 8 piercing damage
Longbow +1 Attack 2: 26 to hit for 11 piercing damage

DM: I am currently on a hiatus from DMing due to lack of time :(
Lord Kithran falls into the pit, the rusted swords cutting him in various places. He calls out to the wisp. "Stop what you're doing. I can ease your suffering, but I need your obedience first."
[OOC: He used the control undead channeled divinity. The wisp needs to succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or obey my commands for the next 24 hours.]
