(OOC:  Just for clarity sake, in the vegetation room, there is a square opening in the ceiling that leads up a tunnel to the bottom of the main staircase.  It's about 80 feet up. Either way, let me know if you're opening another wardrobe or going somewhere else. Yes, Grenk you have the dragon sword, and Silas has the flame sword now I believe.)

Just to put it to vote, who want to open a wardrobe and who want to take the tunnel?

Silas want to fight the wardrobes. 

Grenk would opt to fight on.  Is the dragon sword labeled something so I can add it to my inventory or ill just grab a long sword and make some custom notes.

Mal would vote for the next wardrobe and position herself next to it to hide form anything coming out, preparing to strike.

(Doesn't seem to have a name or anything, just custom job I suppose). 

Badger, finding himself out voted, regardless of Sickle's vote.  The third wardrobe to be opened has images of gears across it.  Ahhh...this must be the easy one...thinks Silas to himself, as he nods, ready for something easy finally to emerge.  

Mal, as usual, pulls the door open.  Through the door, enormous interlocking gears and cogs stretch as far as you can see.  Suddenly, a spherical construct with spindly legs and small wings tumbles through the open doorway.  It lands on its side and its legs and arms kick wildly as the thing tries to right itself.  

Initiative : gear creature : 9

If you go before the creature, you may take your turn. It's currently considered prone.

Grumbling under his breath, Badger prepares for the opening of the next wardrobe, ready to rescue his companions from their doom if possible, or escape from his own if necessary.

Initiative: 4

Seeing the bizarre creature collapse into the room, Badger considers it hardly threatening, and instead tries to mentally examine it. 

Detect Thoughts with the helm.

Also, new Portent rolls: 4, 8

And swap Fear for Counterspell after rest

Mal Initiative: 29

I am not taking any chances Mal thinks as she slinks over and then starts to slash at it with her scimitars.

Scimitar #1: Attack: 14 Damage: 8 Sneak Attack: 8

Auto Crit Damage: 6 Sneak Attack: 7

Scimitar #2: Attack: 28 Damage: 17

Auto Crit Damage: 3

BA Scimitar Attack: Attack: 25 Damage: 10

Auto Crit Damage: 6

(Tried to add additional damage in slightly earlier post and its just ended up a mess)

(This is just bullying I think)

Silas Initiative: 20

 Attack: 25 Damage: 11 slashing + 4 fire

Bless: 1

Grenk initiative 10

Having pulled his bow this time, he waits for the the creature to appear.  Seeing it knocked down.  He holds until its upright again then shoots twice.

Ready action fire bow, trigger, it stands up.

Attack: 15 Damage: 6

Attack: 14 Damage: 11

Mal's very first strike slams into the creature, shattering through it's metal outer shell and grinding through a thick collection of buzzing gears and parts inside.  The thing abruptly stop moving...and then it begins to glow blue, and crackle and zap and everyone steps back suddenly expecting it to explode.  Then it just sort of disintegrates in a crackling bit of blue energy and is gone.  The door to the wardrobe slams shut and locks, the third red crystal lights up, and the 4th wardrobe issues a gentle "click" as it unlocks.

Everyone stands around staring at the small burn mark in the floor for a moment.

Silas nods to himself, he knew it...that was definitely the easy one.

The next closet with images of twisted, screaming humanoid faces wrapped in chains....will probably not be so easy.  WIth a heavy sigh Mal goes and pulls it open. Waves of heat assail you as the door opens, revealing an iron road leading to a basalt citadel surrounded by the charred remains of defeated armies. Prisoners scream from iron gibbets that festoon the citadel walls. A single glowing ember flies out of the wardrobe and transforms into a winged, bony fiend with a smiling, skull-like visage.

Initiative : 19

(Roll initiative, if you go before the demon, take your turn.)

Grenk initiative 5

Silas: 11

(Silas blessed everyone before monodrone wardrobe. Is it still up?)

(It's 'technically' been 12 seconds since you cast the spell, so yes. The....momentarily staring at the scorch mark on the ground and feeling bad about yourselves took only 1 second....)

(Yeah...feel like maybe we could have just thrown that one back in? :) jk...)

Sickle Init: 11

Mal Initiative: 21

Oh yea this fight is not going to be as easy as the last one, Mal thinks as she once again wades into the fray.

Scimitar #1: Attack: 20 Damage: 10 Sneak Attack: 6

Auto Crit Damage: 2 Sneak Attack: 7

Scimitar #2: Attack: 25 Damage: 10

Auto Crit Damage: 4

BA Scimitar Attack: Attack: 20 Damage: 11

Auto Crit Damage: 2

Mal leaps forward from near the Wardrobe before the creature can react and her blades lash out grating along the bones of the demonic creature, sending bits of bone flying.  The creature growls and shudders as her sword grates over it's bones, though doesn't have it's usually gore splattering effect.  (He seems partially immune to your sword strikes.)

Initiative 15

The creature spins on Mal, its massive skull grinning an evil lear, and then it attacks her.  It's long claws rake out towards her twice, Attack: 20 Damage: 6 Attack: 10 Damage: 9. Then its wicked stinger comes slashing down at her. Attack: 19 Damage: 19 + 12 poison damage.  DC 14 Con save or be poisoned for 1 minute.  (no save for the damage). 

Everyone's turn!

(Should keep bonus effects separate it seems)

Silas closes the distance to strikes with his newly acquired flaming sword, using his bonus action to strike again as a bonus action.

Attack: 9 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll. + 1 to hit.

Attack: 16 Damage: 15 + 3 to hit.

Hands shaking with anticipation, Badger again holds out his crystal ball, again focusing on the image of the terrible lizard from the jungle, but this time viewing the retracted image of himself in the globe. Channeling the arcane energy, he feels it changing and warping his very body... but he doesn't resist, and soon finds himself unable to anyway as his mind goes suddenly dull.

The dinosaur standing in Badgers place looks at the devil creature, whimpers slightly, and backs off into a corner.

Cast Polymorph on self, as T-Rex, but apparently one that is averse to risk and a slave to routine.
