Tupoc looks at the direction he heard the shots coming from and spots the sharpshooter:
Limited Metagaming License:
Name: Ingus Sorahn; STR: 11(+0); DEX: 20(+5); CON: 16(+3); INT: 13(+1); WIS: 22(+6); CHA: 16(+3); Skill proficiencies: Insight, Perception, Persuasion, Stealth, Survival; Languages: Common, Celestial, Dwarvish, Elvish, Goblin, Halfling; Successful insight checks against Ingus: 3/3 (completed!) Unlocked -> arcana check against Ingus: 0/1 (anyone may try as a reaction as long as you can see him).
Yessaris takes advantage of his proximity to Baern and concludes his examination of the items he carries. It takes some time, but the artificer now understands his enemy's articles:
Boomshakala temporarily arrives at a vantage point and aims a Fireball far behind Sparklegem. His point of choice ensures the edges of the explosion burn the wizard's back, but go no farther.
-> Sparklegem prepares for the impact with an Absorb Elements spell.
-> Sparklegem's DEX saving throw {DC 19}: 21
The gnome's decision pays off, and he feels only a slight burn (Sparklegem takes 13 fire damage).
Baern spits at the section of floor just beneath the angel and rushes to meet Abe instead. He savagely swings his weapon (advantage cancels disadvantage):
-> Baern's WIS saving throws vs. Sanctuary {DC 18}: 20, 13, 13.
-> Over-sized Greataxe vs. Abe: Attack: 24Damage: 37 magical slashing (the attack misses; see edit below).
Edit: Baern's attack roll should be 18.
-> End-of-turn INT saving throw vs. Synaptic Static {DC 19}: 13
Though Baern's latest assualt earns the man a glower, it is something 'else' and off in the distance that grabs the attention of burning, golden eyes that's pierced through over countless lies...
Yessari's Turn(Start):
Acting decisively, Yessaris maneuvers first to safer position and calls out for Abe to "Stay still". In the next moment, a box visibly sparking arcane energy is fired from his axe, attaches itself to Abe's armor, then expands rapidly into a protective energy bubble. Smirking, he then commands Attorney to begin its assault on Xavier. By the time the mechanical monstrosity has made its way over however, a mounted Yessaris has already moved to "cut off" escape. And if iron jaws find flesh, a symbiotic trigger in Yessaris armor causes a bolt of energy to jump to Xavier next.
Movement: To BP-9(on horseback),avoid Bearn's threat range as much as possible.
Movement(Remaining): Y. will have Y-Horse use remaining movement and dash to BS-27.
Bonus Action: Command Attorney to move to attack Xavier's Mount(if possible), or dash to get within bite range(using shortest/safest course).
Movement: To BR-26.
Action(Attorney): Attorney uses Iron Jaw on Xavier's Mare(if possible). Attack: 17 Damage: 12.
If hit, Yessaris's Arcane Jolt to damage Xavier by 9.
First, your iron defender’s bite attack is now considered magical for the purposes of bypassing resistances and immunities, thanks to enhancements you’ve made to the creature in your free time.
Second, when you or your iron defender hits a target with a magic weapon attack, you can channel magical energy through the strike to create one of the following effects:
The target takes an extra 4d4 force damage.
Choose one creature or object you can see within 30 feet of the target. Healing energy flows into the chosen recipient, restoring 4d4 hit points to it.

Remliel tries to examine Milo in order to prepare to potentially face him in battle, but her mind is still focused on Baern for now.
Yessaris does his rounds in the northern part of the battlefield. First, he goes west to protect Abe within his own version of Otiluke's Resilient Sphere. Now isolated from the battle, the cleric tries to catch up his breath. Yessaris then turns eastward to engage Xavier in combat alongside Attorney. The construct goes around the dark pit and bites the bard's mount in a pincer attack with his master's armor jolt (X-mare takes 20 piercing and force damage and is DEFEATED).
Xavier dismounts safely but is otherwise left without his temporary speed.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Worried about hearing no sounds coming from the obvious battle happening around him, Mumed extends a hand in front of him and confirms his suspicions. "I guess you've learned a thing or two from our previous confrontations. Good, very good, but I have seen you enable your invisible trick before."
He turns to face Tupoc, though he can't see him, and extends his other hand in hopes it will find purchase:
-> Inflict Wounds (7th level) vs. Tupoc: Attack: 21 Damage: 32 necrotic damage (not yet halved to account for your resistance from Empty Body).
A bit surprised that Mumed was able to brush his arm, Tupoc feels his temporary protective coating dissolve (Tupoc takes 25 necrotic damage).
-> Tupoc's concentration check {DC 12}: 12
Though he took a risk, Mumed now knows where Tupoc is.
Unseen by the Cleric, Tupoc smiles as the residual ooze from Nox’s summon absorbs 24 of the 25.5 damage (Thanks for the Temp HP, btw!), leaving him relatively untouched. You’ve seen my trick, but that doesn’t mean you see me, old man. Now, let’s put you down, once and for all. He unleashes a round of four attacks, two Constrict attacks, two regular unarmed, spending a ki point for Flurry of Blows.
Tupoc immediately retaliates, though in the process he confirms his position by speaking directly to Mumed. Knowing what is likely to come next, the cleric snaps his whip in a sweeping motion. Luck is on his side once more, as he successfully cracks the whip at Tupoc's first swinging arm and deflects all damage. The three follow-up punches, however, all find their mark (Mumed takes 25 magical bludgeoning damage).
-> Mumed's STR saving throw against the on Constrict attack that was successful {DC 19}: 25
-> Mumed's three concentration checks, each with {DC 10}: 18, 16, 16
OOC: Didn't really make this clear, so no issue, but for future reference, Tupoc has telepathy out to a range of 120 feet because (Couatl?), generally I've been using that to communicate
(OOC: Just to be clear from a few posts ago, Heroism has dropped from both Yessaris and Attorney as @Ori mentioned, but also, Sanctuary is gone from Attorney since it attacked.)
Using Nox's Images as a reference point, Xavier points and casts Dispel Magic (4th level) at the ooze-hybrid (notice lack of requirement to see target):
-> Rolling for the higher level spell {DC 16}: 16 - 1 = 15;
Through the pain Abe tries to find the resolve to learn a truth -- any truth -- into the being known as Xavier.
But whether there any left to be found, or the pain briefly overwhelms him, he speaks a word in celestial, drawing forth the connection within to mend his wounds, if only just. Taking what solace he can after, he gets to trying to move his spherical shield a ways to the right while blowing raspberries in Baern's direction.
Action: Abe Casts (6th level)Heal heal on self, healing 78.
Bonus Action: Abe blows a raspberry at Baern.
Movement: To BO-16. (Movement 1/2 due to yessari's sphere).
Taking the dwarf's spit as a challenge, Remliel starts to give chase, only to stop herself once more over something in the distance. After a quick glance between Baern and the distraction, she lets out a frustrated shriek capable of near liquefying the bones of lesser beings prior to flying off and all but wholly into a wall to the north. "Let's see if you are a lesser or better than the dwarf, Milo!" She shouts at the halfling during the final approach, as burning, holy sword is swept out twice in beheading strokes for both Milo and his mount(if not just the mount for insurance).
Then in another flurry of sudden movement, she bounds back on her wings and out of the wall, jabbing her sword in Bearn's direction once more in challenge during the accent. "Your quarry is beyond your reach now, Baern. Will you answer my challenge now, or prove even more the coward than those that hide behind a mad gnome's trickery!" She challenges him.
Movement: (DM's and Tupoc's Eyes Only)
Remliel flies the 40ft(horizontal) and 20ft(down, 15ft instead if just enough to be within 5ft while remaining airborne), making it to BM-18.
Action: Multi-Attack Longsword #1 Longsword(Two-Handed) Vs Milo's Mount Attack: 22 For: 9 magical slashing damage plus 22 radiant damage. #2 Longsword(Two-Handed) Vs Milo(or Mount, if above attack misses) Attack: 18 For: 16 magical slashing damage plus 16 radiant damage. (Flat Rolls Due to Reckless Attack & Holy Aura)
Movement:
Fly back 10 feet horizontal/closer to Bearn and remaining 20ft(if possible) higher at BM-16(?), to be/remain with 30ft of Baern. (Does not provoke opportunity attacks due to Flyby Trait)
Open to adjustment to be within the cusp of below spell range.
Bonus Action: Remliel Uses (5th level)One v One Me Bro!(DC 18 - Wisdom Save) on Baern.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Abe then rolls, blows, and heals (Abe regains 78 HP).
Remliel flies in between Abe and Baern and appears to attack the wall. Her blade seems to cut it like butter. There is no response after the first slash, but following the second, the sounds of a steam release can be heard from the other side of the wall (L-Mare takes 33 slashing and radiant damage and is DEFEATED).
(@Ori: Again, are you sure Remliel's slashing damage is magical?)
Remliel then flies up, to about 20 feet from the ground at {BM-15}. From there, she challenges Baern once more:
-> Baern's WIS saving throw {DC 18}: 19
Baern begins looking directly at the angel, huffing, puffing and compelled into a duel.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Suddenly robbed of both his mount and target, Milo rushes to {BR22} and shoots at Yessaris:
-> Hand Crossbow vs. Yessaris: Attack: 30 Damage: 44 magical piercing (includes Sneak Attack damage).
The halfling then quickly shoots a second bolt, this time at Y-horse:
-> Hand Crossbow vs. Y-Horse: Attack: 34 Damage: 15 magical piercing.
Master and beast both get perforated. The yuan-ti gets a bolt on his lower leg (Yessaris takes 44 magical piercing damage) while the horse simply bubbles up and disappears (Y-Horse takes 15 magical piercing damage and is DEFEATED).
The faintest grin touches the angel's lips, seeing her word heeded. But remembering their being more at play, she glances over to the thunder dome duel between snake-bird and man, intending to even the field, if only just.
(@Lerus: I couldn't find any mention of Mumed being successfully insighted more than once, so figured why not. If this would however interfere with the ongoing compelled duel, feel free to ignore the above reaction check.)
