Dungeon of the Mad Mage (#9 PbP)

Grianne and Azrael, you are unable to find out the cause of death on this poor soul. 

10, 19, 14

(Wedge and) Raiik: roll for initiative. There is something here!!! Raiik, your nat1 perception leaves you completely oblivious to one of the attackers!

Biggs: Hmm. What is this red rust? No idea. So much webbing, and that face. Unnerving. How could spiders do this?

Any buttons on him ?

There might be. How about an insight roll.

Wedge's Initiative: 7.
(Always on point Wedge. Always on point..)

Biggs grumbles something about "Drow wenches" as he turns to start making his way back to the others. "Wait.. giant spider webs... giant spiders... lumps... eh, not my problem." He carries on back towards the catacomb.  

(Totally should asked before the roll if investigation would work. Stupid past Mehmen.)

Azrael pats Grianne on the shoulder softly saying I'm going to check further ahead, since it seems no one else wishes to. Don't worry, I'll be fine.  With that, Azrael would cast Silent Image. In the image was a perfect replica of himself, as he stealthed personally (19) Managing to embrace his inner feline, and walk silently for a 250Lb giant dragonborn. The image however, looked as if it was walking normally, making no attempt to hide as the real Az was one with the shadows.

Azrael would head towards Area (3) with his silent-image illusion leading the way by about 40 feet in front of him, the image acted naturally, as though someone were walking casually, and quite ignorant to potential dangers.. oblivious.

AREA 3

Azrael, your spellself walks into a battle of beakbrains and your friends.

Surprise round:  Three Grell descend from the top of the cavern at AREA 3. One of them, the most alert of them, attacks Ra'iik, seeing him despite being stealthy, and makes a surprise attack.

Tentacle Attack: 9 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.
IF you get hit, i'll need a DC11 CON save, or you're poisoned with paralysis, and grappled.
Beak Attack: 12 Damage: 7

Regular round:
Grell1 18
Grell2 21
Grell3 19 

Grell2, Ra’iik10, Grell3, Wedge6, Grell1, Azrael: ???

Grianne, knowing a pack is stronger together, wildshapes into a Saber-toothed Tiger and pads quietly behind. Stealth 25

Ra'iik Initiative: 10

Looking around, unsure what that sound is he can hear, Ra'iik bends over to look close to the ground, avoiding a tentacle, then stands up, obliviously narrowly avoiding a second attack.

"Hrmmm... WHOA! what is that?"

The Grell were surprising, but Wedge be lucky! He tosses Ra'iik some finger crossbows, then quickly Disengage and fly his tiny butt out of there! Nearing to the catacombs again, Wedge starts screaming "Alarm, Alarm!" through the link, alerting Mr. Biggs of the issue. But in typical Biggs fashion, he jobs his way there rather than run. 

(Doubt he arrives in time, but just gonna go ahead with Bigg's initiative: 18(for next round).)

THIS ROUND: Grell2, Ra’iik10, Grell3, Grell1, Azrael: ???

Grell2 attacks Ra'iik again:

Tentacle Attack: 5 Damage: 12
IF you get hit, i'll need a DC11 CON save, or you're poisoned with paralysis, and grappled.
Beak Attack: 23 Damage: 7

Wow, shitty rolls. Go, Ra'iik. 

NEXT ROUND: Biggs18, Grell2, Ra’iik10, Grell3, Grell1, Azrael: ???

"So guys, are we still lookin at this old type stuff?

"Guys?"

"Guys?"

Where the fleck did everybody go?

Grianne is going after Azrael by the way.

Roll for initiative if you wanna join the grellfest.

"haha! ... You're kinda cute!" Ra'iik says before jabbing at it a few times;

Hit: 21 dmg: 9

Hit: 22 dmg: 9

Reaction to assume defensive stance.

Crit dmg: 7

OU812 has been marching around, protecting Alessandra, who as usual has decided to run off all by herself again.  "Impatient woman, slow down! It's dangerous to go out on your own in a nasty dungeon like this!"

They both stumble into area 3 where the gang is currently pummeling the grells.  "What have we here?!  You guys can't have all the fun!"

Initiative: 15

“Don’t be slow,” She quipped at OU812’s remark, following it up with an eye roll as she unsheathes one of her blades. Just before joining in on the frey, she activates her flame blade.

Initiative: 13

((if that’s with advantage wtf was my original roll? Jeesh))

(It was a nat 1, lol)

Init: 7

(when it's his turn) Azrael makes the image seem surprised, before it would run to the far corner of the room, spin around, and begin looking like its casting a very very powerful spell targeting one of the grell.

Azrael himself was slower to the combat itself, due to not being used to being this quiet, but wanting to retain his advantage. He smirked then, this might be his chance to destroy one of these little shits, since he was ROBBED of the chance before*cough all nat20'sdamage cough* That selfsame smile and grown appearing on his face, anyone looking at him whom didn't know him would likely assume he was insane. When in reality, delivering Bahamut's justice to abominations.

Once he was in the room where he could see atleast two of  the Grell. There he intoned, quietly in Draconic Persvek Bahamut ui|ulph mitne, origato filkiati wiap. Oposs rygat vhira, asta sulta ui nigh. Casting (3rd level spell slot)Chaos Bolt at the grell attacking Raiik. 

Situation A.

If Az can only see one, the (4 - 3) the greyish bolt lashes out with Force Damage, slamming into the grell like a physical weapon for Attack: 24 Damage: 28

 Situation B.

----Situation A still happens----

The world warps around Azrael as his metamagic flows, through him, (spending 5 Sorcery points) to twin the spell at one of the grell still descending down (if he can see them passive Per 14).

a second bolt of (5 - 7) Lightning damage streaks out as a sickeningly chaotic blue bolt for Attack: 10 Damage: 19 at the same time, using one hand for each spell.

THIS ROUND: OU812, Grell2HURT, Ra’iik10, Azrael7, Alessandra7, Grell3, Grell1

Perception check  1

"That sounds like fighting! Somebody having a party without me?!"

Lythril dashes in the direction of the fighting sounds.
