Flynt is going to shake his head, overwhelmed at the idea of the house attacking them. "This Strahd was right, this cult is pathetic." He's going to hit the altar again.
Attack: 8 Damage: 6

I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.
Flynt, you don't get as good of a swing as the first time. The sword clanks off the stone altar, perhaps maybe chipping a small little pebble or two from where it connected, but other than that just vibrating in your arm more than anything else. (0 damage to stone altar)
Now the voices are screaming over and over again "DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE"
Shae is watching on.... looking at the exits making sure nothing creeps up on the party.

(LOL Ignatia! And shiiiiit Flynt is ready to go....)
Ok here's what happens:
As soon as Ignatia's illusion graffiti is traced across the altar and Flynt draws his sword, the 13 cultist apparitions chant changes. They now say:
"Lorghoth the Decayer, we awaken thee!"
You all notice that the chant rouses the large refuse ball in the south alcove. It starts to move... and as it emerges from the disgusting murky water, you realize that it is bigger than you might've thought. You can tell now that it is some type of plant-creature, and it has a few rotting corpses in the middle of it, like it ate them. It seems very hostile, and it begins to slop its way toward you!
The apparitions chant then changes: "The end comes! Death, be praised!"
Lastly, for a split second, you also see the 2 ghost children, Rose and Thorn, appear before your eyes. They both say "It's the monster!!! RUN!!!"Then the 2 ghosts disappear.
(Flynt I will process your turn in order once Renny and Shae go, especially since you're rushing in on this thing.)
(Also, Shae looks very nervous about this Plant-Monster. Until now, she's exuded nothing but cool confidence, but this monster definitely has her spooked.)

Renny, the bolt of fire just misses and smashes into the far south wall behind the plant freak.
Shae will retreat back up out of the water, back with Renny and say "Flynt! NO!" and then fire off an arrow from her shortbow from above. Attack: 11 Damage: 9
Shae's arrow sticks into the plant-thing, although it doesn't seem to be phased by it. At all. It's a great shot, but the plant doesn't even acknowledge the arrow going in (8 damage)
Flynt, while you were running to attack this huge plant monster, the water level really messed up your idea and you basically stumbled through the water and barely managed to swing the sword let alone do any damage. You are now in melee range of this thing... and you see it extend out what seem to be two huge arm-things, and both of them come at you with deadly intent. The thing makes an odd growl as well as it attacks:
Attack: 18 Damage: 16
Attack: 11 Damage: 15
both of the huge plant-arms come CRASHING down hard onto Flynt's stumbling body. The plant monster completely engulfs the dragonborn that was Flynt; he maybe gets a moment of terror to scream but this all happens so fast the others barely see it. One moment Flynt is there, the next he's gone. The plant monster has completely smothered Flynt into itself.
(Flynt, according to my math, you had 14 HP. This thing just crushed you for 35 damage, which brings Flynt to -21, which crosses Flynt's max HP. This kills Flynt outright. Please let me know if I am wrong on the math!)
" Ignore the village idiots, Flynt. Give it another whack."

Last moment to act.... what do you do?
Ignatia raised her hands and glowing words appeared traced across the Altar, *Worst Cult Eva*.
OOC: Minor Illusion.
Flynt is going to spit in the water and draw his sword.

Please roll for initiative.
Plant - Thing Initiative: 13
Shae Initiative: 21
This is the plant-thing:
Here's the updated map with the enemy added:
Flynt Initiative - 12
Flynt is going to run up and attack it.
Attack: 16 Damage: 12
I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.
" No, Flynt! Back! Into the cells where it's dry...Me and Lil' Miss have some fire for this pile."
As she retreat through the door, " Seriously though....pick a ...god....Strahd or Trash Heap! Useless...."
Initiative: 12
Ignatia please make your initiative roll as well :)
Initiative: 22
"No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There's always a boom tomorrow"
"No power in the 'verse can stop me"
Round 1:
Renny -> Shae -> Flynt -> Plant Monster -> Ignatia
Renny is up!
(Flynt I will process your turn in order once Renny and Shae go, especially since you're rushing in on this thing.)
(Also, Shae looks very nervous about this Plant-Monster. Until now, she's exuded nothing but cool confidence, but this monster definitely has her spooked.)
Renny's eyes go super wide, wider than any other point on this horror show. She is quick to react though and throws a fire bolt at the thing.
Attack: 14 Damage: 10

*BBEEELLLCCCHHHH* the plant makes a burp sound.
Ignatia is up.
OOC: Nope, you are not wrong. Good rolls.
I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.
Swallowing her rage, Igntia turned and dashed through the secret door into the cells pushing the two others with her.
" Men......!", Ignatia spat in annoyance and grief.
" Stay back from it, it can't be too fast. if we fire and retreat we can kill this 'god' and avenge Flynt."
OOC:
Ignatia is moving back towards the doorway where we initially entered the cells.
Ignatia, you begin your retreat.
Round 2
Renny is up!
(I will post an updated map with Ignatias movement when I’m on my computer again tomorrow morning. With the Dash she will make it quite far!)
Renny is clearly shocked but silent about it.. she throws off another fire bolt at the thing as they begin to retreat.
Attack: 18 Damage: 6 (resistance nullified)
She'll move as far as she can to go with Ignatia.
"No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There's always a boom tomorrow"
"No power in the 'verse can stop me"
" We're going to need to set fire to everything in this place as we go....", Ignatia said desperately.
" Look at the size of it....I don't think we have the firepower for that. Shae, can you handle setting fires as we go...arrows aren't gonna cut it."
She started passing parchment, oil flask, torch, tinder box to Shae as they moved....
" Straw, wood...paper...theres a lot down here....lets make that thing suffer for killing Flynt."
