Sylorin helps Ellina to the couch, easing her down as she takes a rest. He looks around and sees the cleaning supplies and goes over to begin to straighten them. Suddenly he hears cries from the other room and various calls to protect the coffee equipment. He turns to move out of the lounge, when suddenly a cloud of dark smoke flies at him with the pointed horrific visage of a mephit.
He reacts more than thinks, and his hands fly into the face of the creature, casting Inflict Wounds.
Con Save DC 13 or take 6 Necrotic, half damage on save.
Steve recoils from the smoke, clawing at its burning eyes.
The Smoke A mephit begins to sag in its flight and looks very sick.
Sylorin reaches out and touches the Summoned A mephit. The creature looks like it is about to dive out of the way but it isn’t quite fast enough. It bursts into vapor under the condemning hands of Sylorin. It bursts into a cloud of smog around Sylorin.
DM: Sylorin, please make a Constitution Save, DC 13 or suffer the Poisoned Condition.
Mocha brightens. “Ha! They are a bunch of pushovers!”
She begins to change, shifting to become more feline-like. Her claws come out and she slices through the air at the Summoned B mephit beside her. Her claws touch nothing but air.
Sasha grunts in disapproval for the appearance of these wily creatures. A sword forms in his hands, forming out of stacking cubes until a brilliant blade sparkles in the lights of the cafe. “En garde, you cur!”
He runs up to the barista station, leaps up onto the counter, shinning boots clapping smartly as he hands, he lances out with his blade, sticking the Steam A mephit through the chest. It releases a shrill cry and pulls itself off his blade, glaring daggers at him. Sasha responds with a sly grin and a taunting gesture that definitely is not shown in any customer service situation.
Steam A rakes its claws at Sasha, who uses his leather cuff to take the blow. Unfortunately the claws slice through the leather, finding flesh beneath. Sasha hisses against the pain, but will not be taken down so easily.
Smoke A also attempts to claw at Sasha, forfeiting its opportunity against the blinded Steven. However, Sasha is too quick and dodges.
Steam B dives at Steven however. (Attack 14, 2 slashing Damage, 4 Fire Damage).
Smoke B flies at Mocha, where it claws at her. She snarls as it bleeds her.
Summon B does the same, harrying her with burning talons.
Morgan hastily pulls a random card from his old and trusty tarot deck (his arcane focus, for flavor). "Four of spades" he mumbles with a grin.
"I don't like when people mess with my breakfast!"
His hair begins to float, and his eyes hollow into black voids. Yet within the emptiness, the chaos of distant stars and galaxies shimmers and churn (all this to say that he activates Innate Sorcery as a bonus action.)
Pointing the card toward Smoke B and Summon B (both attacking Mocha -> if adjacent, he aims at both; if not, just Smoke B), Morgan suggests: "Why don't you take a nap?"
The mephit explodes in a reeking cloud and Sylorin instinctively covers his face and pushes through, forward into the main room, coughing and nearly retching.
Con Save: 21
He reaches out his hand, the amulet hanging from his neck glowing, and casts Spiritual Weapon. A silver, glowing light appears next to Steam B, threads itself into a cord, weaving tightly until it forms a knot at the end. The knot then flashes and whips toward Steam B: 8 to hit, 8 damage if success. Either way, he points at Steam A and says, “Off!” Casting [spell]Toll the Dead[\spell] - Wis Save. DC 13 for 1 damage.
Summon B goes rigid in the air, ensorcelled by Morgan’s sorcery! Smoke B shakes off the effect.
Steam B whips itself around the summoned weapon, cackling as it bursts with confidence. Steam A ignores Sylorin’s command and continues to attack Sasha.
Steve struggles to recover from its blindness and claws feebly at its face.
Sasha harpoons Steam A with his sword once more, ending the creature. It also explodes, sending a wave of dangerously hot steam at both Sasha and Steve.
DM: Steve, please make a Dexterity Saving Throw, DC 13 or suffer 16 Fire Damage. On success, Steve suffers 8 Fire Damage.
Mocha sees the Summon B go stiff and having witnessed two mephits explode, seems to understand Morgan’s intent. She attacks Smoke B instead, closing her claws into fists. She batters the mephit hard, not with the intent to kill, but to knock unconcious. A stiff one-two, then a roundhouse kick brings the mephit down. Mocha gives Morgan an appreciative thumbs up.
Smoke A throws its claws as Sasha again, but the swordsman summons a shield now, which again assembles itself from magically floating cubes that appear from thin air. The mirror-like surface of the shield defeats the heated claws, a line of steam crosses the shield before it quickly fades.
The others see that the battle is very much starting to not go their way and sound the retreat. They all flee through the vents, even Smoke A, which Sasha allows to flee rather than risk another explosion.
DM: Sylorin, you can post. Missing Initiative just brought down the average, but you are in your turn for today! Go go go! :)
