Before you three, down the hall, Donavich is getting ripped to sheds by a young boy. The party bears witness to a gruesome scene as flicks of blood fly erratically as the priest is accosted. Being stealthy, and them in a fight for life and death, the group has a surprise round.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Felix rushing in behind Rumble will stick close to the wall. He will cast Ray of Frost then as a bonus action he will cast Spare the Dying as his bonus action on Father Donavich if he is still alive.
Rumble rushes in, delivering two blows in quick succession with a honed speed and power. From a quick jab to a strong right swing, perfectly executed. The boy recoils and releases an inhuman grown from the pain. As he grabs his side and stands up tall, you get the feeling he took the punches with more ease than a child his size should have. Now that he's up close, the human looks feral and crazed. His canines sharp, and his hands paired with five dagger-like nails that give him an inhuman brutality as they drip in fresh crimson.
Calling upon her holy powers, Allen channels and releases a brilliant blue-white light that hits the child's leg. A thick frost coalesces from his left shin and branches out to the floor with the sound of ice cracking and a beastly howl of pain as the boy clutches his leg. Once again calling upon the divine and uttering words of grace, a dark light pools from underneath the father and phases out after a few moments. Donavich coughs up a bit of blood before weakly turning his head slowly towards the group. Reaching out your direction, he begins to speak something until taken over by unconsciousness.
The boy cries out once more, "More! More food! More flesh," until he's interrupted by slash to the back. The Highlander skirts to Rumble's side and slices upward with his mighty greataxe, drawing a fine red line from hip to neck. Graeme, a young boy wouldn't be walking away from a heavy two handed blow like that. While your strike was true, the connection didn't quite feel like you'd expect. The boy hisses ferociously and growls like an animal as he glares with murderous intent.
That's the surprise round, and Graeme is up once again.

Rumble follows up, from the kid's blind spot. He'd found a shadowy corner, and he didn't see him coming. He lashes out with his claws this time, followed by a spitting hisss;
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Graeme rides the momentum with an overhead slash that goes wide, a powerful whoosh of air is heard as the feral child drops down to avoid. Taking a squatted position, low to a haunch to avoid, Rumble's first swipe narrowly avoids the boy's scalp. Hissing at the dodgy prey, a gleaming left-pawed claw slashes across the boy's neck. Slowly, he turns his face back around in a slightly inhuman fashion and just stares before lifting his lips to a deep growl.
Allen retreats backwards towards the door as he offers a prayer to his Queen. A brilliant and glittering light springs forth from the tiefling's outstretched hand that races towards the boy. As it makes its way, the holy beam fades in and out, flickering and peetering out immensely. The light impales the child, piercing from front to back like a spear of light. From it emits a baleful, glittering dim.
The next attack roll has advantage, courtesy of the gawky tiefling.
The young boy smiles widely with fluttering eyelids as his wounds start to close. Suddenly, he wrenches up his frost covered leg and cries out. Face once again engraved with bloodlust, the boy rotates his body towards Rumble and lunges with wildly swinging arms.
Rumble, please make a Str Athletics or Dex Acrobatics check.
Warm blood flicks your clothes and face as his arms flail around. A quick misdirection is all it takes as the boy slides in close, wrapping his arms around you in a grapple. (It's a special ability, so it's different than normal). Being so close, his breath reeks terribly.
Back to top of initiative: Graeme, Rumble, Allen, enemy

[insert my turn after Graeme's]
Held by the vile teenager, Rumble squirms and turns his body to face his front on. Bringing his elbows on to his side's, he assumes the close-quarters Wing-Chun style. He reveals his claws and begins to deliver fast, concentrated chain punches to the kid's sternum;
Graeme shouts and angrily slashes down with his greataxe, overhead the large blade sinks down into the boy's shoulder. The blade lays to rest, just a hair's breath from Rumble's face. Moving between the blade and the boy, the tabaxi flexes hands, dagger-like talons extending out and shining in the light before unleashing multiple blows. The first strikes seem to be ineffective, but he hones in and finds an opening in the boy's stomach. The feral human takes the blade and punches unperturbed when a glorious, white flame manifests from above the two in grapple.
Dex save: 6
The divine flame plummets towards the entangled duo, slamming into the ground mere inches from them. The boy let's out a howl in response to the flames, yet there doesn't seem to be any heat to be felt by the monk. Pulling away sightly, nearly releasing his grasp, he bares his fangs and bites towards Rumble's neck. Teeth sinking deep, the monk recoils and attempts to push the boy away as vitality is drained from him. Sucking the life force from you Rumble, a coldness tingles and branches out from the bite as deathly necrotic energy spreads into your bloodstream. Taking in your blood, his shoulder gash starts to knit back together in nauseating fashion. Slowly, the life fades from you as you crumple in his arms.
Bite: 13
Damage: 8 + 5
Rumble, your maximum HP has been decreased by 8.
The Highlander is up. Graeme, the vile creature with ahold on your companion seems to have rejuvenated from the attack you just dealt when feeding on blood. Crimson red drips from the boy's agape maw down over Rumble's body.
'oops.' Rumble thinks to himself.
