Sekkar Initiative: 8

(Sekkar did not expect to hide from that monsters anyway and waited for everyone to get down. When a fireball wooshed past him and struck the devourers, he realized he missed Kastix. Though, it seemed Kirin would help with nostalgia and certainly with the firepower.)

Rhayna Initiative: 10

Rhayna casts Shillelagh on her Zurkhwood Staff, and casts Toll the Dead on the first enemy that she spots.

Initiative 13

Kaylyn climbs down the rope and reaches the bottom.  Just at the edge of her vision is the creatures that harmed Pensive.  She wasn't sure yet what they had done to him but she didn't intend to let them do more.  The explosion of Kirin's fireball warmed her face as she then took aim and sent blasts of eldritch energy at any of the devourers that may have survived splitting the beams if needed.

Attack: 23 Damage: 15

Attack: 30 Damage: 24

Pax Initiative : 8

Expecting some sort of attack, Pax hands the rope to Derendil but doesn't use the rope. Speed is important.  She glances down the hole and with a word of power she shimmers out of existence and appears at the bottom of the hole.  Misty Step

She then strides down the hallway 25 feet, the shadows around her flickering and moving, and then shifts her still active Hex spell...moving the grasping shadows onto one of the creatures at random, and holding out her rod lets two blasts of magic fly at the thing. Eldritch Blast

Attack: 20 Damage: 9 + 3

Attack: 8 Damage: 7 + 6

ID1 WIS save v Toll: 12 fail. 3 necrotic
DEX saves v Fireball: ID1 11 ID2 21 ID3 9

Mind Flayers initiative: 20

The two intellect devourers at the end of the passage skulk in the shadows, their tiny forms periodically lit by the red flashes that emanate from the walls in sync with the blaring siren. At a word from Rhayna, two large spectral books appear beside one of them and slam together, and the creature wobbles on its short legs. Pax runs ahead to the front of the column, firing two blasts that finish the injured brain-on-legs.

Then the end of the tunnel erupts with flame as Kirin unleashes his fiery blast. The second walking brain skips aside but still cops a fair singeing. It runs at Pax but Kaylyn's blasts from the back slam into it, leaving it in a smoking heap only halfway to its target.

However the other two were not far behind, and still streaming smoke from Kirin's fireball, they too scamper along the corridor, stopping short just before they reach Pax's position. Finally, from around the same corner appear two mind flayers, still grasping surgical tools dripping with pinkish blood in one hand each. They extend their empty hands toward the group and their facial tentacles wiggle and squirm...

Pax: Please roll a DC12 INT save. If you pass, there is no effect and you can continue with your next turn. If the roll fails, take 11 psychic damage, then roll 3d6 and if the result is less than equal to or greater than your INT you are stunned and your INT is reduced to zero. ALSO, please make a DC 15 WIS save or be charmed

Sekkar: Please roll a DC12 INT save. If you pass, there is no effect and you can continue with your next turn. If the roll fails, take 9 psychic damage, then roll 3d6 and if the result is less than equal to or greater than your INT you are stunned and your INT is reduced to zero. ALSO, please make a DC 15 WIS save or be charmed

Anyone that still has a brain can continue with their turns.

Sekkar 8, Rhayna 23, Pax 20, Kirin 17, Kaylyn 15, IDs 14, MFs 13

No need for a map I think. The MFs are at the south of the tunnel, the IDs are about halfway along, then Pax, then everyone else near the north end.

That was what Sekkar expected and was cautious of - you do not kill those things fast, you might not get the second chance.

Sekkrs saves: DC12 INT: 11  (3d6 roll: 10  DC 15 WIS save: 10 )

He felt the attempt on his mind but managed to shake it off. Now it was his turn:

(Dawnbringer was already activated)

BA: Hunter's Mark

Attack: 31 Damage: 20 + 6 (HM)
Attack: 13 Damage: 11 + 3 (HM)
Attack: 26 Damage: 17 + 4  (HM) + 2 (Ambusher) + 5 (sneak)

Pax DC 12 Int save : 8 

The psychic energy flows at Pax, buffeting against the shadows around her. She stumbles, shaking her head. 

Int roll: 9  (pretty much can't succeed).  Pax's intelligence is assaulted and she stops moving...wavering slightly back and forth, stunned and stupified by the mental assault. 

DC 15 Wisdom Save : 15.  She isn't charmed by these things, but her eyes are vacant and she is unmoving amidst her cloud of swirling black shadows. (Concentration on Hex is broken). 

(Can Rhayna get Pax out of her “funk” with lesser or greater restoration?)

(Dang, I always forget to hand out bardic inspiration on my turns)

Kaylyn continues to blast at the ID's trying to destroy them.

Attack: 19 Damage: 8

Attack: 27 Damage: 13

She then calls out to Pax, "Have strength and resolve my friend!" (Bonus Action - Bardic Inspiration 1d6) 

((If Pax isn't stunned Kaylyn gives BI to her, If she is then she gives it to Sekkar))

 I believe Greater Restoration will.

(Can Rhayna get Pax out of her “funk” with lesser or greater restoration?)

 I believe Greater Restoration will.

(That’s what I thought. Just wanted to make sure I am taking the right action. So, Greater Restoration on whoever is stunned.)

My bad... Pax takes the psychic damage, but is NOT stunned, nor is her INT reduced to zero. I typed it wrong. Pax can take an action, and there is no need for Greater Restoration.

Will narrate later, but Sekkar's first two attacks finish off both the IDs. The third attack strikes the first MF. So Kaylyn's attacks can go against the MF if desired.

And no, I'm not abbreviating anything naughty with MF. But if I did I'd be using a Samuel L. Jackson voice   :)

Kaylyn attacks the same MF(er?) that Sekkar does.

Pax shakes off the momentary glaze in her eyes and her face hardens. She rushes forward, tapping her boots as she goes and attacks the injured MFer. The tentacle rod in her hand reaches out and slams into the creature. A fitting attack for such a creature with its tentacle face. 
Attack: 11 Damage: 3 + 6 necrotic from hex. 

Attack: 11 Damage: 1 + 1 necrotic from hex. 

Attack: 29 Damage: 7 + 2 necrotic from hex. 

+4 more necrotic from the crit  

She runs so she’s standing right next to both MFers if she can .

Sekkar is like a dark blur highlighted by Dawnbringer's bright glare as he races forward, cutting down the two walking brains in a couple of swift strokes, then somehow leaping even further along the corridor enough to slash the glowing blade up into one of the mind flayer's shoulders. Not wanting to miss the chance to answer back for the mental attack, Pax lashes out with the rod, striking the mind flayer once on the leg and once around the neck, crunching one of the flayer's tenctacles against its trachea. Two more blasts from Kaylyn slam into the injured creature's chest, and it seems almost about to topple.

Rhayna and Kirin actions?   (Rhayna because Greater Restoration is now unnecessary)

Rhayna will cast Toll the Dead on the one Kaylyn just blasted. (WIS Save DC 17, 11 necrotic dmg)

(Sorry, forgot to roll dmg for the last action.)

Kirin pitches bridge of his nose for a moment as people rush down before looking for a target (any) and casting Toll the Dead.

Wis Save: 17

Damage: 6

If already hurt: 13

(Due to ability, it takes half damage on successful save)

MF WIS save v Rhayna Toll 20
MF WIS save v Kirin Toll 15

The first mind flayer seems to shake off the effects of Rhayna's spectral books, but the onslaught from Sekkar's glowing sword and Pax's grasping tentacles seem to reduce its resistance when Kirin makes a similar magical assault. It reels from the loud gong sound to fall under Kaylyn's blasts.

Seeing his companion fall, the second mind flayer takes half a step back, half-closes his eyes, and... everyone feels a stab in their minds like a bony hand reaching inside their skulls and squeezing their brains...

Everyone must succeed on a DC 15 Intelligence saving throw or take 22 psychic damage and be stunned for 1 minute. Anyone not stunned may continue their actions.

Pax intelligence save : 7

The shadows around Pax abruptly evaporate as a small amount of the mind flayers mental assault reaches through her protections. It’s enough to stun her though as she stumbles. (Pax’s shield and temporary hps are gone. She takes 3 damage.)

Sekkar Int Save: 21

Too many! And too tough to kill in one go! Stunned by the powers of the last MF, all Sekkar could do is to hope someone will be still standing to finish off that monster.
