"Laniel!" Mal calls out, seeing his friend run towards the exit. He grimaces, but tries to strike down the cultist to open the path for Titus to clear out the fanatic. His blade seems to whisper as it cleaves through the air towards the cultist. His eyes go wide as the full brunt of psychic power courses through the tip of the rapier.
Mal'srapier pierces the cultist's breast, which would have been enough, but the man goes down clutching his head in agony. He lay lifeless on the ground.
(Since Elezutook care of the fanatic, I'll turn Rethan'sattacks on the cultist, otherwise it will take an AoO on him if he moves away.)
(Woops. Reading fail on my part. And yah, cultist would have been my next target. After the 31 damage inflict wounds my health is low enough to not want to give up free attacks :P)
The fanatic, distracted by the success of his spell AND his attack on Lanielas the monk ran past, does not see Rethancoming until it is too late. The second hit does not land only because the first sends the fanatic sprawling to the floor, lifeless.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Tituseyes the fanatic (F3) and marches towards him, his shield held out in front of him while his battleaxe hangs menacingly behind his head. His movement is practiced and deliberate as he slams his shield into his foe and mechanically brings down his ax, hoping to kill the fanatic, or at least break his hold over Laniel.
Morphindicates the Fanaticbehind the Flaming Sphere with a flick of his hand, causing the Flaming Sphere to roll into him.
Turning to look over Mal's other shoulder, Morphtakes aim at the other Fanaticcrossing his hands palm over palm, and releases a blast of magic with an arcane word.
Bonus Action: Move Flaming Sphere into F3, must roll DEX save DC13, taking 2d6 fire damage on a failed save, and half as much on a success.
Action: Cast Eldritch Blast at F2: Attack: 13 - Damage: 10 force damage
A little less than a minute later, as Lanielis still apologizing for running from the fight, the cultist wakes up. She is a petite human woman with dark skin and close cropped hair. She struggles against her bonds until she sees the men and women standing over her. A look of terror fills her eyes.
Mal grins back, and rubs his hands together. "Let's get crackin. I'll need a few feet of space to work, if you don't mind." With that, Mal will kneel by her and begin to whisper to her. He asks her what her name is, what she was doing down here, and why she and her friends attacked. Behind his words, however, a few telltale signs attempt to worm their way into her psyche, inducing a nameless fear of being eaten by the dragonborn paladin. (words of terror feature: Once per short rest, you can speak to a humanoid alone for 1 minute and cause it to become frightened of you (or another creature of your choice) if it fails a WIS saving throw (DC 13) for 1 hour or until it or its allies are attacked or damaged. If the target succeeds, it is not aware you used this ability.)

Round 3
F2 says "RUN!" to Laniel, casting Command
Laniel WIS(11) check: 22
F3 casts sacred flame on Titus, and then commands his spiritual weapon to strike Zaku again.
Titus DEX(11) check or take 5 damage: 5 (Hit! for 1 measly damage; It's a miss)
Spiritual weapon Attack against Zaku: 9 Damage: 11 (disadvantage roll below)
F4 casts Command on Vajra Safahr. WIS(11) save: 24. The spell is ineffective, however.
Disadvantage roll for spiritual weapon: 15
(Everyone may go in any order.)
Laniel runs as far as he can out of the room, towards the exit.
The fanatic strikes at him with a dagger.
Dagger: Attack: 14 Damage: 5
"Laniel!" Mal calls out, seeing his friend run towards the exit. He grimaces, but tries to strike down the cultist to open the path for Titus to clear out the fanatic. His blade seems to whisper as it cleaves through the air towards the cultist. His eyes go wide as the full brunt of psychic power courses through the tip of the rapier.
Attack: 21, Damage: 9, psychic blades: 6
(Sorry, I got confused. Cultist it is!)
Mal's rapier pierces the cultist's breast, which would have been enough, but the man goes down clutching his head in agony. He lay lifeless on the ground.
(Ah well - at least he died with flourish.)
(Woops. Reading fail on my part. And yah, cultist would have been my next target. After the 31 damage inflict wounds my health is low enough to not want to give up free attacks :P)
Rethan steps forward to slash at the fanatic that commanded laniel.
Attack: 15 Damage: 11
Attack: 8 Damage: 6
The fanatic, distracted by the success of his spell AND his attack on Laniel as the monk ran past, does not see Rethan coming until it is too late. The second hit does not land only because the first sends the fanatic sprawling to the floor, lifeless.
Titus eyes the fanatic (F3) and marches towards him, his shield held out in front of him while his battleaxe hangs menacingly behind his head. His movement is practiced and deliberate as he slams his shield into his foe and mechanically brings down his ax, hoping to kill the fanatic, or at least break his hold over Laniel.
Shield Bash: (Athletics) 25

(Are you opening Titus up for an attack from C4 and getting him burned by the flaming sphere? or am I reading the map wrong?)
David Gearlock | Human | Artificer | Revenge Heist
Knox | Warforged | Cleric | Shadowthorn's Out of the Abyss
(Yeah, that'd be the result. Also, it was F2 that Commanded Laniel, who is now dead.)
(@Smullzilla, did you want to attack C4 instead and i can move my sphere into F3? or are you happy to go with your move?)
David Gearlock | Human | Artificer | Revenge Heist
Knox | Warforged | Cleric | Shadowthorn's Out of the Abyss
Not trying to charge into a flaming sphere, so yeah lets go for C4 instead. Thanks for pointing that out.

Bonus Action: Move Flaming Sphere into F3, must roll DEX save DC13, taking 2d6 fire damage on a failed save, and half as much on a success.

Knox | Warforged | Cleric | Shadowthorn's Out of the Abyss
STR(14) check for C4: 9
DEX(13) check for F3: 14 or take full damage of 11 (half damage on success.
Titus knocks the cultist down and brings his axe down for a fatal blow.
The fanatic dodges back and then to the side, avoiding the brunt of Morph's flame sphere and entirely dodging his eldritch blast.
Vajra again uses her fire bolt on the remaining fanatic.
Fire bolt Attack: 13 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.
Like his comrade, he is burned to a crisp almost instantly by Blackstaff's attack.
(Only the sleeping cultist remains. He continues to sleep. Everyone may take their turn in any order.)
"Do we want to disarm and tie this one up? Maybe we could question him?"
Morph indicates the one remaining, sleeping cultist.

'Seems like a good plan," Rethan says. "Find out who sent him."
A little less than a minute later, as Laniel is still apologizing for running from the fight, the cultist wakes up. She is a petite human woman with dark skin and close cropped hair. She struggles against her bonds until she sees the men and women standing over her. A look of terror fills her eyes.
Morph looks at Mal,
"Care to start us off, spy master?"
Morph whispers the last part with a grin, stepping up behind and next to Mal, to give him the support of his physical presence.
