Blasted, that hurt! thinks Magoo, who quickly banishes such minor thoughts when he sees the mind flayer above him. Instead, the old practice and thought of punch, punch, and punch againto survive enters his mind and his fists. Unarmed Strike (attack 27, damage 12) and uses one Focus Point (2 remaining) for a Flurry of Blows/two more unarmed strikes (attack 26, damage 10) (attack 27, damage 10).
Once the Mind Flayer comes into view, Lyra lets loose the arrow she's been holding.
Attack with disadvantage 12 (2 low rolls), Damage 9 in the unlikely event that hits.
Trying to steady herself, Lyra designates the Mind Flayer as her target with Hunters Mark, then, with trembling hands, she tries another shot.
Attack with disadvantage 26 (2 good rolls), Damage 8 piercing + 3 force (from hunters mark).
{Due to Hunter's Lore feature, Lyra knows if the target of her Hunter's Mark has any Immunities, Resistances, or Vulnerabilities, and if the creature has any, you know what they are.}
I had forgotten the blessing
With blessing the first attack is 12+3 and second attack is 26+4 in case that is enough to change a miss into a hit.
The Cyborg lands a massive hit just before Magoo regains his senses and hits hits hits. The abomination rocks back experiencing more pain then ever in it’s very long existence…
Before you have the chance to end its life the Illithid vanishes completely!
Rather than escape with Lyra’s blessed arrow (miss turned into a hit) the mind flayer had exactly 9 hp. It falls before it can escape. Congratulations that was one awesome round!
Seeing the flayer drop to the ground Krakel looks around to his companions. “Is everyone okay, that beast was powerful. I feared we all would be overcome.” Then quickly offers a prayer to Apollo for the blessings bestowed on them all during the fight.
Tori pats the cyborg on the shoulder, crouching through the tunnel due to her enlarged form she says "It was in my head, I'm glad the cyborg could react before it made me make it attack you all" Tori gives an extra healing word to Magoo
With the illithid dead the cavern feels less intimidating. The large pools seem clear and warm. The one cranium rat stays away it’s light mostly on dimming and brightening occasionally. There is a dripping sound up the stone steps and away from the main area you all are in right now. An occasional shuffling. The illitihid’s body is dressed in a very unique outfit.
Investigation 15
there is an amulet worn under the tentacles around its neck.
Tori walks over to the illithid and stomps on its head. Then notices a gleaming object near her foot and leans down to take the amulet from the creature
Magoo sincerely thanks those who kept him alive and even pats the Cyborg on the back, but only gently. Despite their best efforts, he still feels rather beat up from the experience. Can we rest here a bit and search what is down here before moving along? (OOC-short rest) He reminds folks about the crates and carts along the side of the wall and suggests they light torches so they can see what all is around. Might be some good stuff here to bring back to our families. Although Magoo himself does not have a family here, he is adopting everyone into his new family. He feels a bit wiser - perhaps almost dying does that - and thinks he has mastered a few new tricks that could help him and his extended family stay safe (level up, so now rogue 1/monk 4)
As torches are lit and the rubble is sorted there are many odd bits found… as well as 20 cp 300 sp 10 gp 1 pp an agate worth 10g and a golden candle stick holder holds 3 candles worth 20g some of the odd bits you find are sea shells a belt buckle a broken mirror & a book in an unknown weathered script still mostly legible if reader knows deep speech.
“Quite an odd assortment of items for a creature like that to have collected down here. I wonder how long it has been here.” Krakel says to the group as they rest and explore the area. “Perhaps they will be of use to the community or maybe for trading with the mephit.”
”Would one of you like to keep the coin and be the party accountant?”
Magoo may take a turn. As you recover, you are empty handed prone with a hungry tentacled maw writhing above you….

Lyra’s hunters lore mind flayer gives her insight it is most likely the enemy has planar shifted.
Level up.

Lyra comments, "In mine as well. It made me relive all the bad moments of growing up and left me too frightened to take a step closer."

Krakel goes and smashes the other rat. “I shall cleanse this place of all these evil spawn.”

does the creatures outfit remind krakel of any of his studies.?
Krakel sees the high stiff collar The double row of buttons the lined cuffs edges and pockets. Not sure if mind flayers ever had standard clothing…

"I pack light, I can carry the money if everyone is okay with it." *Tori offers* "I can also spend time identifying the items magically"
Lyra responds, "That sounds good Tori."
