Robin sidles back behind the rest of the group, casting a spell as she does so...

Haste on Resfaen.

Robin backs away from the ape like creaturrle but along the way cast and spell upon Resfean, who suddenly seems like aderaline rushing through her veins now. 

The apr beats the ground before reckless lunging at Onyx biting and punching at hum. (Any melee attacks against the ape will be with advantage. See reckless attack from barbarian for reference)

Round 2 

Robin

Using her Bonus Action to activate her Axe she cautiously approaches the ape, "I know not where you came, but you will be going back there soon, and then we will find your master and deal with it as well."

Sun Axe #1: Attack: 19 Damage: 9

Sun Axe #2: Attack: 25 Damage: 12

Hasted Sun Axe Attack: Attack: 27 Damage: 13

 And seeing that her attacks are doing some devastating damage she will be dumping smites into each attack.

Smite #1: 14 (If it is a fiend an extra 4 damage)

Smite #2: 27 (If it is a fiend an extra 11 damage)

Smite #3: 23 (If it is a fiend an extra 7 damage)

All the damage is radiant damage.

(I knew it would short fight but damn) 

Before anyone could react beside robin, Resfean charges forward and unlessh three heavy blows followed by blasts of radiant energy they never felt or seern before. When she is done the red Ape fiend corpse turns into ashes like a brunt leaf flying into the air.

"Come now! Run toward the sigil," a voice in everyone's head says. Looking around everyone can see a burning symbol that resemble those stick shambles the seer used hovering not too far away. 

Is it a sigil that we run inside or touch and does Resfaen recognize the voice inside her head. She would be very leery about running towards any glowing sigil.

[OOC: Not sure what you would want me to roll for this. Also finally Resfaen does something good besides fail saves. :) ]

It sounds like the seer from before. It just a floating sigil about size of a hand in the distance, you can run toward it or not. It's up to everyone to decide. 

Out of initiative now btw. 

Robin starts to move towards the sigil in the air. "Better to move towards it, and learn something, than to continue to move around without anything new being learned." Robin says with a glance to the others. "If you have a reason we should not do so, then I'll follow your lead though." She pauses as she waits for the others to decide what they wish to do. Resfaen still has haste for a bit longer, if that comes in handy...

Resfaen moves toward the sigil, stating to the others, "Does that voice in your head sound like the seer to you? What have we got to lose, well besides our life mind you but enh."

Salys will move toward the sigil, sending Bearskr in first, just to be safe, and then follows quickly.

Resfaen is first to set off, running with haste (literally) towards the sigil while burns the air which seem to flak away to reveal a alternative cityscape she disappears into. Salys is quick to follow with Bearskr in the lead and Robin not far behind him. 

Onyx takes a quick look around if they are followed or observed before he runs after the others, using his feline speed to catch up with most of them.

perception 23

Onyx looks around bleeding from bite and fist but doesn't see much expect a fleeting shadow a bit aglow like it carrying a light in the distance. Onyx then moves like a bolt of lightning in Resfaen wake. Del and Rogi are quick to follow. The portal snapping shut as they pass through. the Seer in her ragged attire, "Come on now. I have some information you may be interested in but time is short now,"

she leads the party to ransack house and sits down the large round table as chairs dance toward the table for each of the party .

"That was the benefactor of the Warden. I believe you had a connection to this otherworldly patron," she explains, "This may be a shock for some of you but the Valley is full of gods, from demi to even greater in many forms. they lost their power and rank if you will. If the valley was created as their graveyard, their last salvation or random chance is unknown but they're here," she waves her hand and created an image on the table of the lantern, scythe and a chain, "these are the wardens connection to this world. They are just one of many tools of many gods but at this moment, it's a danger due to killing spree of the scythe. The lantern wielder was less bloodthirsty and chain is unaccounted for,"

"The platinum artist is partly to blame as capturing souls with these items would normally be harder but the artists found the items and improve as it's their nature. Nonetheless, the problem is the killer, a clever warlock capable of leaving a trail of blood but no one catching them. We may have an hour or so to prepare now. I can not scry on him or his items as the Warden forcefully breaks the connection. Any questions?"

Onyx puts the Lantern in front of him on the table: “Would this help to locate the scyth or the chain? “. After listening to her reply: “And if not, would you may be able to tell where people are dying in the city? Maybe instead of locating him, could it be possible to locate his victims?” Onyx gives her a chance to answer again, before he comes up with another question: “You seem very knowledgeable, do you know by any chance what properties the other two items got? And what about the warden?

When Onyx reach for the lantern he swipes air. Paint himself all over he found nothing.

"My sworn sister of the Gathering, Crow Whisperer, deals in information. While it takes times and great patience she can divine much information. If you lucky or unlucky you may come across her like the sworn sister, the Fate Weaver," The Seer explains, "Why we have an hour at the least to prepare is because the clever killer knows the value of misdirection. A large demon ape biting and punching is a very good distraction for a specter to steal. One item didn't required a strong link but several parts of the set? They must stubs to bring it the power. As for scrying, like the killer, the Warden blocks my eye from seeing his vessels known as the items. As for scry the dying, that as a target for scrying is well beyond mortals and I am mortal. I am bound by the rules of magic while I can be clever and I can work around some normal limits, this is beyond me,"

“The Lantern is gone! What can we prepare in an hour? I would rather search for the tief then wait here. He got what he wanted, so there is no reason to come to us anymore.”

Onyx looks at everyone and unless we are an hour away from sunset or anyone else speaks up for the need to rest, then Onyx will start to move to the exit.

 "The Warden will come for you, It apparently not happy about your lack of tributes. If the killer want to do it now or later is unknown. As for the thief, it was a specter created by the killer. I have an Arcane Eye follow as far as it could but it can move fast than my eye can.  The ape, which you were able to strike it down with ease, congratulations on that feat, was the distraction, others conjurations were prepared to protect the thief," The Seer explains before waving her hand for notes to flying into them, "With the Lantern and the Scythe, the lantern's shield one of fire and scythe gets more nerotic power. The killer will want blood but must attune. I've already messaged the Legion about this turn of events. If you wish to search during this time, be my guest. I've given what information I can. It's up to you to use it as you wish. ,"
