Nivi barely notices as Ylis drops the strange medal at her feet (can we say she handed it to her? Nivi needs her Free Action... maybe). One day maybe she would get to know Killer Bunny. Or more likely never, all things considered.
Blood and ichor slick both her hand and the warm pie-scented medal, rendering them both slippery as all hell while she brings it to her mouth, the taste of meat mingling nauseatingly with the metallic tang of blood and filth of the ichor. Yet it fortifies her. For all the good it would do.
Do you remember where the heart is, Niva'ele? She hears her lord father's voice, deep and quiet with disappointment. Nivi breathes and chooses.
"Good hunting with you all, while it lasted," she drawls in the general direction of her new companions as she pivots and darts away, just in time to see with a pang of sadness, Morgan's bat, the one she had reviled, yet had helped her just now, be sucked into the newly Descended Desu.
Stay distracted, you bloody b!itch she thinks at Desu the Descended, willing it to be true, sprinting east toward the far side of the room as arrows and moonglow fly by, down and up stairs towards where the crucified Taskhand kneels, just reaching the spot and working to free him as best she can.
Nivi's Tal'Dorei drawl is almost conversational as she works. "Taskhand. You know the others, not me, yeah? Nivi. Funny story, being a High Elf and all, getting killed trying to free a Drow who's a dead man anyway, most likely... Ironic. Don't you think? Not the way I thought I'd go."
Action: Nivi leans out of the room (she is at the door) and uses the Medal of the Meat Pie - 2d4+2 = 10 (max) Temp HP
Bonus Action and Movement: Cunning Action dash 60' - 5' SE - 25' E - 5' SE - 20' E - 5' SE, finishing D16, 5' ENE of Taskhand Thelys. Avoiding Desu.
Free Action: Nivi does everything she can do to to liberate the Taskhand from his crucifixion, likely getting blood all over him in the process.
Nivi is concentrating on Blade Ward - 1 more round after this one. She has Uncanny Dodge available as a Reaction.

Frekor is in shock for the scene unfolding in front of him, but it doesn't last long. He looks around again to reassess the situation and makes his choice. "Nivi! Get as far as you have to to heal. Someone get Verin!" orders the ranger before disappearing in a cloud of smoke and reappearing 30 feet closer to Desu, then closing the distance and attacks Desu.
(Bonus action: Misty step: Appearing at E7. Movement: to E9.)
The elf plunges his shortsword at Desu's body. (First attack: To hit: 17, 10+7. If it hits: Damage: 7, 3+4. If it hits: Using Vex for next attack.)
Then he slashes Desu with his scimitar. (Using Nick: To hit 1: 20, 13+7. Damage: 5, 1+4. If Vex procs: To hit: 27, Nat 20+7. Damage: 12, 5+3+4. Adding Colossus Slayer: 4, 2+2.)
He finishes by stabbing Desu again. (Second attack: To hit: 25, 18+7. Damage: 5, 1+4.)
Frekor is doing his best to keep Desu's attention on him for now, he is aware that he won't be able to kill her alone. But Verin is first.

(OOC: I'll try something... let me know if it flies.)
Seeing Nivi dash toward the Taskhand, and Frekor spring into action, trembling Morgan decides to do what he does best: Improvisation. Chaos. Distraction.
Or at least, that is the theory. He grabs his waterskin full of holy water and takes a quick sip from it for courage (and flavor).
"Well… I hope this does something."
Still invisible, Morgan hurls the entire waterskin straight at Desu’s face. At the same instant, he thrusts out a hand and unleashes a Sorcerous Burst of thunder toward it, trying to make the skin explode mid-air and drench her in holy water.
Then he bolts toward the corridor before anyone can properly react.
Rolls:
* Ranged attack throwing the waterskin (<20 ft, invisible): 14 to hit
* Sorcerous Burst on the waterskin (advantage from Innate Sorcery): 12 to hit, 12 damage
* Acrobatics check (with Lucky for advantage): 13
Nothing spectacular… but maybe spectacular enough.
(If relevant, Morgan can also use Mote of Possibility to reroll one of these checks. I'm looking at you, Sorcerous Burst...)
