Crisaryn quickly turns to the sisters coming down the stairs. Further drawing on her inner power, she casts Sorcerous Burst, launching lightning energy at Bella. (Spell Attack: 19, Damage: 5 lightning)
(OOC - Used Subtle Spell Metamagic to cast without Verbal component.)
While the others converge their attacks against Bella, Vaelar instead focuses on defending himself from Offalia. His swords are a blur as he strikes out against the hag, his withered, monstrous form like a mirror to her own terrible visage.
Action: Shortsword: 22 to hit, 8 slashing, 1 force. Scimitar: 16 to hit, 9 slashing, 4 force. Unnerving Aura on Offalia: DC 14 wisdom save, on a fail she can only take an Action or Bonus Action.
Vaelars shortsword cuts true the hag clutches her arm, black blood gushes from the wound, following up with his scimitar which slides off of her armoured hide missing.
Frederik finds the soft spot on the hags eye and swiftly attacks it with beak and silvered blades covering his talons. Once he got past the varnish it was soft and easily ripped apart.
Bella and Offalia both scream and clutch at their eyes as the spell surrounding the hags eye rebounds back at them. Bella staggers and falls to the ground, life drains from her eyes as you watch for signs of life.
Hujj calls a loud phruck and flies at Offalia, striking her heartstone and ripping it from her neck, his talons leaving a scratch down her face. He was no longer disguised as a normal raven, arcane writing flowed on him and his long silvered blades shone in the dark. He flew high and joined Frederik on the beam, playing with two heartstones.
Illmirth watches the hag flee, no doubt moving to escape his globe of silence. With a thought and an audible snap of his fingers the silence spell ended. Quickly turning to the rafters he calls to the ravens. "Take her eyes!" he calls to them, infusing his words with subtle magical encouragement for Fredrik.
When the birds took flight the bard retrieved a scroll from his pouch. He chanted the arcane words quickly, issuing a harsh shhhhh as the second globe of silence took effect, targeted at the dead center of the floor above them.
As the words burn off the paper the drow darts up the stairs, moving to block any other stairs going up.
***OoC: B/A bardic inspiration to Frederik d6 1 hour- magic action scroll of silence targeting the floor above - 20 ft out,up, and down from that spot is silenced. Movement upstairs to block next stairs.***

“Let him not vow to walk in the dark, who has not seen the nightfall.” — Elrond
You'd expected a scream, but Offalia was silent in her death. The body falling back down the stairs. The ornately embroidered human skin dress tears as she falls. The heartstone is soon collected by Hujj.
You take soul pouches to destroy?They how Nightmare cast, pouch made of human skin. He said to Illmirth. Heartstones useful, Hujj guards.
Frederik flies off above and his voice calls out Children!
The young blonde priestess is surprised to see how quickly the hags all fell considering all the warnings and all the preparations they had made, but mostly she was concerned about the children so she presses on upstairs to find them and make sure they were all safe now.
In a rotting wooden closet are three crates, stacked one atop another, with small doors set into them. Next to the closet is a heap of discarded clothing. A ladder climbs to a wooden trapdoor in the nine-foot-high ceiling. A moldy bed with a tattered canopy stands nearby.
Each crate is 3 feet square. The top one is empty, but the middle and lower ones each contain a captive child. The outward-facing side of each crate is fitted with a small door that has an iron latch and iron hinges. It can be unlatched and opened easily from the outside. The children huddle in their cages, scared of what might happen to them.
The young priestess with the blonde braided hair feels tears of relief well as she throws herself to her knees by the cages and releases the children, offering them both protection in her embrace, whispering reassuring words of comfort to them, explaining in a soft whisper that the evil hags are no more and that they are safe now from evil.
Crisaryn sees the children revealed in the crates, and how Lorelei moved to try to reassure them. Her attention though moves to the ladder. "We should probably check above."
She climbs the ladder and tries to open the wooden trapdoor.

Alerya
Letting out a sigh of relief she is still cautious. There may still be dangers in this rotten hulk.
She checks each floor carefully for other hostages or items of interest, giving the hag corpses an extra stab "just to be sure."
