InitiateLongbow, shoots at Strife:

Carrhae doesn't even scream as her armor is pierced and her body collapses. She just looks around at her friends, trying to apologize but not having enough air to make vocalizations. She takes one more look at Strife before losing consciousness. If this is it, at least I was able to give you my heart and that I'd go through all of this again for you. I hope that you know that.

As Carrhae's consciousness floats in the ether, she has one request for her goddess.  Watch over them. And send someone stronger than me to protect them if it's your will for me to be called into your embrace.

With adrenaline pumping through their veins, Zephyr was in the middle of casting another spell until their eyes locked onto Carrhae's lifeless body fumble to the ground. They screamed out a curse, their hands trembling as they pull their Staff of Healing out and prays to the Traveller once again, activating the staff with a blue glow to cast Mass Cure Wounds to heal everyone for 15 health points. 

It's not over yet... It's not over yet...

Tentacle attacko on whatever looks... deader.

Attack: 26 Damage: 5

Carrhae's eyes shoot open as Zephyr's desperate prayer brings the life back into her body. "Thank you Zephyr. I owe you so much."

Daewen, hiding behind a banner hanging on the wall, realizes that no one is left on the main floor, but can hear people running around upstairs. Noticing an unlit torch mounted in a bracket right next to her, she grabs the torch and her flint and fire steel, and ignites the torch. She then ignites all the rest of the torches she can find, pull them out of their mounts and carries the bundle of them in her arms.

She’ll then break into some of the rooms on the first floor, and throw the torch’s on everything that’s flammable. Igniting a huge blaze inside the tower. 

Zeph's crit eliminates one of the enemies. AirHippKnight1 has been removed. Passing Strife as she regains her senses from that last crit.

DAEWEN:

Lord Commander Meroskka and Captain Savra come running down the stairs of the center tower. They see you, and corner you as best they can.

"YOU!" Meroskka snarls. "I knew it. Where do you think YOU'RE going, child. You will make a fitting sacrifice." Savra looks and him and agrees hungrily, saying, "Accept your fate.."

They both attack.

Greatsword Attack: 16 Damage: 11

Knight6's nat1 attack stabs an ally: Knight5Polearm, wounding him very badly.

Carrhae feels that last polearm slip between her armor and decides that it's time for some self-care. She gives herself 30 points of Lay on Hands so that she can keep fighting for her friends.

With the tower completely ablaze around them, Daewen is surprised that Meroskka and Savra could care less, and are apparently oblivious to the pending complete destruction of their stronghold. Meroskka’s feeble attempt of an attack was easily sidestepped, but Savra’s attacks both hit. Piercing through the veil of her Disguise, they both manage to poke her in the shoulder. Lightly bleeding, she lets out a silent roar, and attacks back at Savra:

Attack: 11 Damage: 10

Attack: 21 Damage: 9

Dread Ambusher attack, with inspiration: Attack: 28 Damage: 17 + 5 bonus damage.

She’ll then use the distraction of the raging fire in the room, as well as her roguish Cunning Action and Disengage, running and jumping out of the window. Fly, BatDae, Fly!

IN THE TOWER:

Savra gets hit and reels back, the blade poking through her metal breastplate. The second follow up hit missed, hitting the stone wall. The third hit punctures her, and she roars in defiance, stunned such a child could even wield a weapon. You spin away, and leap out of the window. 

"Come!" The Lord Commander yells. "Forget her! Let's end this!" 

Savra looks at him, gripping where she got hit. "Just a flesh wound. Let's go."

OUTSIDE:

Lord Commander Merosska and Savra go to the door of the keep, and Merosska surveys the battle. He takes a large vial from his belt and gives it a long stare. He throws it at the down drawbridge and it explodes in a violent, magical gust of air, and an enormous air elemental screams and forms, advancing on you all.

Merosska: 14
Savra: 6
AirElemental: 13

BatDae will make her way around to the drawbridge side of the tower, stealthily. Stealth: 14

(OOC: just for pure curiosity, I want to see how much damage she would have taken if she did fall that 400 feet- 73....Haha!  Yeah, that would have been curtains for her!)

Zephyr had given Carrhae a shaky thumbs up and a crooked smile in response to her thanks, but the smile fell and was soon replaced with a look of sheer terror at the sight of the air elemental. "FOR ****S SAKE!" They yell, extending an arm to cast Banishment on the monster.

Cha save of 14 or get ****ed off into another plane.

(..for one minute as long as your concentration don't break. Biiii.)

Air Elemental save CHA DC14: -1

With a loud POP, the air elemental vanishes back home! For now!
