Burgee shot upright, having heard a noise, sounding like a panicked voice, though unlike cirrus, he didn't quite hear the specific words. However, unlike Cirrus, he stayed back, making sure everyone was up, and most definitely staying to get that blessing of night vision goggles. Pulling the staff in close, and preparing to go, waiting for everyone else to move. Gwen, getitng up, her sleep had been quite deep, and pulling herself out of that funk took a minute, but seeing that something was amiss, she'd get up, grab her Viol, and say What's trying to kill us this time?
Cirrus hears the sound of running not too far ahead of him, the sound of branches crashing being a dead giveaway.
"Not us. Someone else." Paavu called back over his shoulder as he continued at least jogging after Cirrus. "Now hurry on, and try to stay in sight of each other." The goliath adds in warning without breaking his pace. "Lil Blue! What have you found?" He calls out to the air genasi.

Nothing just yet love but the night is young. Rose would comment before following Paavu, hammer and sheild on hand. Cirrus! Where are you? Shed hell while looking around for the Genasi or whatever he might have run off into the woods for. When all this was done they would have to have a conversation about running off into the dark woods without any backup, unless that's just how they did things in his reality which she doubted.
"Come this way! No more innocents shall die because of me!" Cirrus is waving his candle and also using prestidigitation to create a shower of sparks to attract the attention of the owner of the voice. Perception to try and find the kid and perhaps what is causing his fear?22
You can't drown someone with Create Water. If your lungs are containers than your bones are objects. Any Siege monster that attacks you deals double damage because it’s attacking your bones.
"Why are we all running off into the woods?" Burgee asks as he runs off into the night with the others. He gives it a caw in the night hoping Cirrus will answer.

Rose almost immediately spots where cirrus is, being at just the right height and angle, and distance to see the blue man running through the woods with a candle like Ebeneezer scrooge on Christmas eve. Everyone else being clued in when sparks start flying into the night sky. Cirrus finds the teen just as he trips over a boll in the ground, falling to his knee's when he see's Cirrus come crashing through. AUGH! bloody shit! he says as he holds his knee, before finally looking to cirrus, with wet eyes You have to help them! Me ma and me pa.. they're gonna eat them! The monsters! Please, help them! the boy says, pointing in the direction he'd came from. Please don't let them take my mother and father away! the boys face was twisted down. Unfortunately Cirrus can't quite see what may or may not be chasing him. He does however hear the odd sounding gurgle cries of some beast in the middle of doing something in the direction the boy pointed.
Will need one more perception check for the first two people to go towards the noise, should you choose to do so.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Paavu glanced back at Burgee; but, apart from a "huff" and a mental note made, the goliath swiftly focused back on the jogging to the genasi's side. Seeing eventually the man and the teen after which, he squints at the boy, considering his state, and then looking off in the direction of the noise(assuming he heard it). "Mind the child." He marches towards the noise, calling upon the strength of the frost giants held in his armor to at least enhance his strength along the way.
And so it was with icy blue eyes that he proceeded onwards, glaring daggers in the dark.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Rose hardly stops to consider the boy though she desperately wanted to comfort him. But if what he said was true he needed her to be battle Rose more than mom Rose so she pushed forward with Paavu, keeping and eye out for anything that might seem out of the ordinary. I got your back big guy, we'll make quick work of whatever it is we're looking for. Rose would split off a few feet to cover more ground and ready herself you attack any thing that might look like it would be hostile and to call out for her bear killing ally if she had to.
Corrected for larks roll and the other random roll, final initiative is 14 for the part, 17 for the enemies. Enemies go first. Paavu & Rose are in combat officially, no one else is. Paavu is not surprised, Rose is surprised as the DC to see was 20. Rose loses her first turn.
Paavu and Rose make their way down the forested area, no real path existing though the snow being gone from where the boy crashed through moments before, and it took about a minute to casually walk there for them both. The rest of the part either following or watching and protecting the boy.
As Rose and Paavu continued on through the cool night, they began to hear the sounds of crunching bone, and flesh, as a single ghoul crouched in the middle of a clearing, devouring the corpse of a man, and laying next to him with only the face remaining to identify it was the bones and head of a woman. As both R & P approach. Rose see's the couple being devoured, and inadvertently makes a noise, drawing hte creatures attention, but something about the bodies has put her in panic mode, and she freezes... not noticing the dirt behind and beneath her shifting, as fingers slip out from the ground, unknown to her. Paavu however notices it but Rose is already trapped in her own mind at the horrific scene before her, had the boy been telling the truth?!
Paavu see's the fingers slipping out from the soil, thanks to Roses blessing and attempts to warn Rose but for now, she's just not listening...
Two undead hands begin to wrap their cold, rotting fingers around Roses tiny legs, both trying to pull her under the dirt, despite her fear, or perhaps because of it, she violently jerks away from the grasping hands - however, another set of arms try to wrap around her neck, but instead of trying to pull her, it began to attempt to claw at it it's jagged fingernails digging into your flesh, dragging jagged rends across the side of Roses neck.
Rose feels the paralytic side effects attempting to seep into her flesh, but with Selunes grace, she pushes it back, just barely.
Around Paavu a similar scene occurs, but his quick wits shift him out of their immediate grasping range, as they claw their way out of the loose soil. Standing there, preparing himself as they begin to stand before him, one leaping at him jaws wide, while the other flails its arms trying to claw him. The claws being deflected easily, but Paavu notices that moment of distraction almost costs him, as teeth clack right next to where his neck had been just moments before.
All around them, more ghouls begin digging themselves our of the ground in various locations, standing there, whispering their feral howls into the night. Aside from the four around you both, you count atleast 3 more you're aware of, including the one who was feasting on the corpses, which was now also standing. Eagerly looking between the two targets, but seeing much more flesh to feast on the goliath... charges - Leaping at Paavu at the end, claws extended... but Paavu bats it out of the way mid-air.
Back with the boy, Gwen had chosen to stay with him, to comfort him, as did Burgee, who was still trying to figure out what was going on apparently. Please, don't let them hurt me! Save my mom, and my dad! Please!
Cirrus looks at Gwen, "You have dark vision, don't you? Keep watch over the boy, make sure nothing gets too close. If you can provide support from a safe distance, feel free. Burgee, with me. Once I get closer I could create a little light to help us to see and to hit whatever monster is chasing this boy better." Since I'm too far away to do anything I will run and Dash, ending up at 7C. I'll also throw a Bardic Inspiration at Rose.

Stoic Paavu takes the horror in stride, and tried to backhand the one in turn.
If he should not fall prey to his own hubris, he is soon pulling out the morning star next. "You will find no easy prey here, you wretches!" The goliath declare as the runes about his armor became faintly alight in a reddish hue. Full bolstered now by three of his runes now, the goliath goes to work, swinging morning full on for the creatures torso. If he could just remove the one to his 'right' from the fight quick, maneuvering to aid Rose would be all the easier.

Rose gasped at the sigh, not expecting what she saw. The sight of what she presumed to be the boys parents disturbed her greatly and saddened her to the point where she was almost oblivious to Paavus warning. A loud cry of pain could he heard by the other as Rose felt the claws dig into her. She wanted nothing more than to destroy these foul vermin, and the fire inside her was burning to do just that. (But later)

Cirrus makes a mad dash from the boy, leaving Gwen where she was. Though she does shout back as he runs away I was already going to blue! And you're not my boss! she says with a sigh, looking at the clearly cowering boy. In response to Burgee's questions, the boy, shakily says M-M-Monsters.... they're trying T-to eat us... and beyond all doubt, Burgee can tell he's telling the truth as he senses no lie or falsehood in the quivering child's voice before just barely passing Cirrus in pace to join the frey. For some reason, despite everything going on, Rose feels like she can take on the world the next time she tries.. maybe.
Aside from that feeling, she stands there regaining her wits about the situation.
Paavu's cry is met only with a raspy cry from the ghouls that sounded.. hungry. Feast on you! it says after its skull is smashed in by the primary attack, barely seeming phased. In that moment, as he tries to strike out again at the creature somehow it avoids his attack entirely, sinking one of it's claws into his elbow, and he can feel the paralytic enzymes seeping into his body as the ghoul laughs it's wicked laugh. (Nat1dao) (DC 10 con save or be Paralyzed for 1 minute. Rolled in spoiler with a -3 to the save)
As the ghoul sinks its claw in though your flesh provided significantly more challenging to penetrate than it thought. It laughs with ever more glee as it can see Paavu's body freeze up, arm extended in a failed attack.
Back at rose, the two ghouls continue their attack, ignorant of the others success. But she is able to block them both with her shield, much to their displeasure, their claws only thumping against cold steel.
The other ghouls, now fully escaped from their holes charge at Paavu, who they also recognize as being stuck in place, and they begin to dogpile him like piranhas, diving in, biting, and dipping out so their brethren could feast as well. Rose can see Paavu getting swarmed. Both Cirrus and Burgee even with their vision just barely begin able to see whats going on. Paavu looking like a mass of bodies.
Ghouls 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 all bite at Paavu. Ghouls 4 and 5 finding his flesh too hard to penetrate thanks to his rune, but the other three simply biting harder.
Finally Rose seems to be back in her game, and is able to move and react.

3rd Successful Attack Save - Auto-Succeeded due to previous nat20. (To Party: Speak to DM for more details if wished.)
The whole time the assault is happening, Paavu could only muster strangled growls and grunts from the pain. His will, however, was like iron. He would endure the pain as he did all others. One learns through his body overcoming it for a second just how far it extended, when it bit into his skin, only to lose a tooth or two when it seemed to hardened that much for for a second. The rest caught up in their frenzy are more fortunate , able to still dig their claws in as they bit just enough for the enzymes to spread throughout once more. But with each happenstance attempt, he grew more and more resilient.
Until finally with a might roar, he shakes one or two off as his body as he whipped out his arms. "I. Am. BEARKILLER!!!" He shouts defiantly; his declaration reinforcing not just his will, but even dulling the pain. Immediately after, he is snapping into a defensive posture, glaring daggers at Ghouls each and turn. "And you all we all learn to fear the name... Now COME! Try and take your pound of flesh again, you toothless cowards!" He demanded, patting his chest tauntingly before truly drawing a weapon properly this time.
Bonus Action: Second Wind(because holy crap!), healing 8.

DaO vs missing bastard: Attack: 18 Damage: 9
Rose hid behind her shield cursing that she didn't have time to put on her armor. When the first thunk is heard on her sheild Rose swings her hammer around to bash the monsters head in. Only Managing to get a glancing bow on the bastard, Rose left herself open to attack from the other and winches as its claws dig into her. Shaking off the affect of the monsters poison, Rose tucked back up behind her shield. Seeing Paavu being swarmed Rose could feel her heart sink into her chest. But when the Bearkiller shouted and emerged from the pile Rose's confidence grew and she in turn shouted as well as her holy symbol started to glow. BACK OFF YOU FOUL CREATURES! She screamed as her holy symbol erupted in a burst of divine energy, hopefully turning the undead.
Begone thot!:
Channel Divinity: Turn Undead
As an action, you present your holy symbol and speak a prayer censuring the undead. Each undead that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a WIS saving throw (DC 13). If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes any damage. A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can’t willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can’t take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there’s nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.
As Rose used Selûnes grave to turn the undead she quickly cast Shield of faith. A faintly glowing shield of twilight shimmers around the halfling, which she hopes will protect her from further attacks.

He demanded, patting his chest tauntingly before truly drawing a weapon properly this time.

DaO vs missing bastard: Attack: 18 Damage: 9
Rose hid behind her shield cursing that she didn't have time to put on her armor. When the first thunk is heard on her sheild Rose swings her hammer around to bash the monsters head in. Only Managing to get a glancing bow on the bastard, Rose left herself open to attack from the other and winches as its claws dig into her. Shaking off the affect of the monsters poison, Rose tucked back up behind her shield. Seeing Paavu being swarmed Rose could feel her heart sink into her chest. But when the Bearkiller shouted and emerged from the pile Rose's confidence grew and she in turn shouted as well as her holy symbol started to glow. BACK OFF YOU FOUL CREATURES! She screamed as her holy symbol erupted in a burst of divine energy, hopefully turning the undead.
Begone thot!:
As an action, you present your holy symbol and speak a prayer censuring the undead. Each undead that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a WIS saving throw (DC 13). If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes any damage. A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can’t willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can’t take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there’s nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.
As Rose used Selûnes grave to turn the undead she quickly cast Shield of faith. A faintly glowing shield of twilight shimmers around the halfling, which she hopes will protect her from further attacks.
