Morgana tells the Cleric to turn around. Unsure whether or not this strange Tiefling Sorceress is to be trusted, the Cleric has little choice but to turn around and hope for the best. Carefully controlling her magic, Morgana casts Acid Splash and manages to heavily corrode the iron shackles around the stranger's wrists. She's able to control the acid well enough to prevent any harmful damage to the flesh underneath the shackles. Morgana's Mage Hand pulls back from its grooming mission and proceeds to karate-chop the shackles cleanly off. With equal careful measure, it removes the cloth gag from the Cleric's mouth so he can speak again. It hangs loosely around his neck.
The Drow Guard, under great stress after witnessing his long-time friend instantly skewered through the face, considers Morgana's suggestion to flee for just but a moment before deciding that he should, in fact, flee from battle and save his own skin! As he turns to run back from where the Drow came in, he passes by the Drow Mage, who let's out a sound that resembles a low growl...With a flick of his right hand, Gremryl and Hemeth both see the Drow Guard be incinerated in a green flame that burns him to the floor in a pile of crispy bones and mostly ruined equipment.
To Elmo: "What do you know? My plan to kill off yet ANOTHER enemy while simultaneously freeing our new friend here worked perfectly! Pretty good for a 'daft' person, wouldn't you say?!"
To the new guy: "Welcome to the war, pal. Just remember who it was that sprung you when it comes to dole out more of that healing juju!"
Irritated yet undaunted, the Drow Mage turns is attention back towards Gremryl.
Drow Mage - "Fools! Those Guards were mere pups. Barely a loss to the bigger picture. Now come, Paladin. Face a real challenge!" The Mage's eyes then flash a deep purple and a black mist begins to appear in front of him. Moments later, from that mist appears a Shadow Demon that stands tall at 8ft and winged with sharp claws and teeth gleaming white in the dark. "Go, Demon. I command thee to erase the Dwarf from this plane of existence with extreme prejudice! Hahahahahaha!" he trails off with an evil cackle."
The Shadow Demon acknowledges its master and turns to face Gremryl from a distance. The black mist reappears and this time it's much thicker and completely obscures the Demon from sight. The mist vanishes as quickly as it had appeared yet the Demon is no longer standing where it once was!
Under his breath, the Dwarven Paladin of Moradin curses the Demon for appearing now of all times. Before he can finish his thought, the black mist swirls to his left and with an unholy force, the Shadow Demon's right claws rake across the face of Gremryl Stonebreaker, leaving three streaks of blood that begin dripping heavily into his beard. The concentration that Gremryl had on his Shield of Faith is broken and Gremryl takes a demoralizing 19 points of damage!
Elmo, still badly injured, takes inventory of his current position on the battlefield and acts next!
Gremryl Stonebreaker, Paladin of Moradin and wielder of Moradin's Benevolence slowly turns his head back towards the Shadow Demon as he raises his left hand to touch the blood now pouring from his left cheek. Dipping his fingers in his own blood and fixing his glare at the fiend, Gremryl tastes the iron coursing through his veins and the rage burning inside of him begins to reach critical mass. Besting even Hemeth's inspiration-bestowed warcry, the Dwarf unleashes a combination of crushing blows with Benny and shield parries to knock the Demon off its guard. The first strike lands across the Demon's chest and burns with holy-green flames that sear its skin with an acrid-smoke dealing intense damage. The second strike crosses the Demon's face in a clear rebuttal to the claw marks that now define Gremryl's passion for eradicating evil from the world. In a righteous final act to the attack, the Paladin casts Divine Smite which deals a massive amount of damage as the Shadow Demon reels backward in blinding agony couple with a demonic howl.
Gremryl takes careful note of the damage inflicted on the creature and is sure that good will triumph over evil this day, at least as far as the Shadow Demon itself is concerned.
LHutz must make a Death Saving Throw! Next to take action will be the Drow Priestess, Sivana.
The Drow Priestess, Sivana, has had enough of the delay in finishing her task for her mistress. She's lost her prisoner yet in a strong position to capture another. Surely the Mistress of Velkynvelve won't notice the difference. How could she? This was a mission entrusted to her and her alone.
Sivana - "Balok, we've played here long enough. Let them chase us to Velkynvelve. We'll take that one back instead of our Cleric. Fall back at once." she commands her subordinates with ruthless precision. There is no questioning her authority.
Weaving small, magical symbols in the air and chanting for a brief moment, she uses her innate spell Levitate to raise the unconscious Elf Rogue into the air and begin moving him towards her. She then moves towards LHutz, surely to grab some part of him and make her escape!

The stranger turns to Morgana and winks his eye at her. "Thank you young lady. I can feel my luck changing already. Let us end these drow pieces of shhh....iiiiiitttttttt. Sorry about that young lady. Got caught up in the moment. Any shit, I will be right back. Stay safe little one."
The stranger moves next to Elmo and touches him on the shoulder and says,"Tymora's blessing upon you for the rescue my pint size friend" while casting cure wounds level 2 on him for 10 point of healing.
The stranger continues moving around the pillar to get a view of Lhutz and yells, "Tymora is pretty sure she can get me out of this, but she is pretty sure your ****ed" He then quietly mutters to himself, "Let me see if I can change that." The stranger then casts healing word at second level for 10 points of healing.
Hemeth moves next and with no further instruction from Gremryl, he chooses to rush the Shadow Demon engaged with the Paladin and strike before it can recover. His swing comes down through the Shadow Demon's right side and takes a chunk of flesh along with it. The damage should be greater and the fiend should be dead, yet somehow this unholy creature is resisting the full impact, Hemeth thinks to himself. But what does he know, he's spent his life as an arms dealer...not a warrior.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Actions on my turn:
1. Say to the new guy: "Why the **** are you stuck on the ******* word 'shit'? And I don't really do 'safe' very well. I do this instead..."
2. Move due south and come out to where I can see the priestess and say, "Yo, she *****! If anybody is gonna vivisect that sorry excuse for a theif it's gonna be me! And maybe my mushroom buddy! You cast spells like elmo sucks dick; in an awkward and sloppy fashion devoid of technical prowess and flair!! THIS is how it's done..." and I'll cast ray of frost on her to ****** her retreat. Attack= 25 Damage= 13 I'll also throw in "And your **** is as cavernous as the under dark itself!
3. I'll have my mage hand move out and get in the face of the priestess. It won't attack, but will try to hover right in front of her face, obscuring her view.
Watching Hemmeth Strike telepathically Gremryl tells him : " Dont worry Hemmy my boy! After making a Calimport Kabob out that last drow, we'll make a Warrior out you yet! Maybe ye be helping me find a shield eh!"
Morgana's Ray of Frost spell travels straight for the Drow Priestess who waves her right hand in the form of some unholy symbol and causes the Ray of Frost to deflect harmlessly off the back of her hand.
(Your Mage Hand would have to be with 30'ft. How close did you want to move to the Drow Priestess?)
1. My mage hand will move as far as possible in front of me.
2. I'll yell after the retreating priestess "Fleeing from my awesome power is the smartest thing you've done since you stopped using your pubic hair as a tampon!"
Elmo says the the priestess after drawing the attention of the Drow priestess with his sweet crossbow attack:
“So ye like to tear up the back side of Elmo and me pal Grem without consequence eh?!!? Well, I don’t speak For me more experimental dwarven friend, but if ye touch elmo’s Back side, he’ll make sure ye get a new one *****!”
To Elmo: "What do you know? My plan to kill off yet ANOTHER enemy while simultaneously freeing our new friend here worked perfectly! Pretty good for a 'daft' person, wouldn't you say?!"

Elmo would like to move as close as possible in the direction of Elhutz. He holds his action to shoot his crossbow at the first available target
