Putting her parasol behind the "Claws" head she will attempt to flip the creature over her shoulder, slamming it to the ground.

OOC: Not sure what to roll for this...

Tanakir lifts his club, placing a Hex on the nearest monster and swinging twice at it.

Attack: 20 Damage: 6

Attack: 18 Damage: 12

1st level smite on the first one (assuming it hits): 7

Killian, having bound her wounds, spends a moment in prayer, though rather than recite words, black tendrils of darkness crawl out from under her clothes as she listens quietly to the corridor around her. Shadow and silence are her prayers now.

OOC > Just flavoring Prestidigitation as an unconscious manifestation of her faith.

Seeing the symbols, Gruun lets out a deep sigh. "Only path is forward." Gruun will swap back over to his Greataxe while they've been walking.

Hox tilts his head for a moment then throws one of his daggers down the corridor, seeing if it'll set off the possible traps. Regardless, he follows Gruun with caution, keeping an eye behind, where the roper was.

GRUUN & HOX:

Gruun DEX Save (Advantage-Danger Sense): 22
Hox DEX Save: 30

Hox's dagger clatters along the floor; the symbols do not react to this nor to the presence of either of you as Gruun leads you past them and around the corner where the corridor runs for a length of at least a hundred feet before turning again.

Just before you reach the bend, the click of a pressure plate beneath you announces the net that falls from the ceiling. Both of you leap and roll away from the net, avoiding the nasty barbs that line its entirety. It falls where you stood just a moment ago. Past the next bend, a path to the left leads to a couple of dead ends, but straight ahead of you is a closed door at the end of the corridor.

RYCIDER & TANAKIR:

Rycider Athletics: 23 vs. 5
Tanakir Hex Damage: 1.5 and 0.5

DM Screen:

Claws vs. Rycider: 8
Claws vs. Rycider: 11
Claws vs. Rycider: 19
Bite vs. Rycider: 20 Damage: 15
Claws vs. Tanakir: 17
Claws vs. Tanakir: 23 Damage: 10
Claws vs. Tanakir: 25
Bite vs. Tanakir: 18

Rycider flips the creature over her, breaking the grapple, but these beings are relentless; in a moment, they have fallen back over her. Evading the claws of one, she is grappled again by the other, and to her horror, feels its teeth sink into her neck, drawing blood like a siphon and causing her to feel lightheaded (Rycider's hit point maximum has been decreased by 10).

Tanakir's club leaves painful radiant markings upon the spawn, but the wounds left by the impact are slowly regenerating. He is grappled by the fierce grip of one of the creatures, taking another graze from a claw but for the moment his armor is holding their teeth at bay.

OOC: Rycider, Tanakir, and one of the vampire spawns engaged in melee combat with Tanakir are lightly wounded.

As the vampire spawn claws him, Tanakir sends a sheet of flame washing over it (Hellish Rebuke, 1st).

10 fire

He then swings his club twice more at the vampire spawn on top of him.

Attack: 28 Damage: 14

Attack: 16 Damage: 10

Hex: 2, 1

3rd level smite on the 1st: 17 radiant

This unending maze being a blur, Killian does not remember if she searched her rogue friend, so she does so now, while she is resting. Then she takes out the curious pipes and examines them further.

Grabbing the wound with one hand Rycider will Disguise Self to change her facial features (and fingernails) to that of the vampires. She will hiss dramatically and turn her attention to Tanakir.

Performance: 17

GRUUN & HOX:

OOC: Ready to advance once the next action is taken.

____________________________

KILLIAN:

The dead rogue does not have so much as a dagger or a copper piece in his pockets.

OOC: Your short rest will be complete soon, once Gruun and Hox have taken another significant action.

RYCIDER & TANAKIR:

DM Screen:

Vampire Spawn DEX Save vs. Hellish Rebuke: 16

Claws vs. Rycider: 7 Damage: 11
Bite vs. Rycider: 10 Damage: 14
Claws vs. Tanakir: 18 Damage: 8
Claws vs. Tanakir: 22
Claws vs. Tanakir: 22 Damage: 13
Claws vs. Tanakir: 8
Claws vs. Tanakir: 10
Bite vs. Tanakir: 9 Damage: 8

Rycider's sudden transformation does not fool the creature grappling her. Intelligent enough to realize that the disguise does not hold up to physical contact, it digs its claws in further and continues to drain her of blood, weakening her further. Her other assailant is thrown off enough to leave her and surround Tanakir. The genasi's club leaves smoking ruin on the body of the creature grappling him. Its regenerative properties seem momentarily held at bay by the searing radiant impacts, and it frantically bites down into his neck, drawing blood. Tanakir's armor still holds off most of the impacts, but he is nearly stunned by the fist of the creature that has left Rycider to surround him.

OOC: Rycider's hit point maximum has decreased by 8 and Tanakir's has decreased by 3.

Rycider is wounded, Tanakir is lightly wounded, and the vampire spawn grappling Tanakir is badly wounded.

There are now 3 enemies engaged in melee combat with Tanakir, and 1 with Rycider. Both of you are grappled.

Hox knocks on the door.

When the vampire spawn bites him, flame pours from Tanakir's wound, scorching the creature (Hellish Rebuke, 2nd)

15 fire

If that doesn't kill it, he swings at it until something does, applying a 1st level smite to each hit.

Attack: 17 Damage: 16

Attack: 21 Damage: 16

Hex: 2, 3

Smite: 12, 10

(Once it's dead, any other attacks go to the next vampire spawn in line)

He then points at Rycider, giving her a brief respite from her wounds (Healing Light, 3d6)

8

Killian puts the curious pipes away and settles herself again in a light meditation, a passing thought for her companions and how they may be faring pushed away.

If no one opens the door, Gruun will listen for any noises on the other side.

If he hears no sounds he'll open the door.

Rycider takes a Misty Step out of the vampires clutches and behind Tanakir.

You have burning oil Dear? she quickly asks Tanakir

Tanakir raises an eyebrow, fire still sputtering from his wound, "You're gonna ask me that?"

GRUUN & HOX:

When Hox knocks, the door opens inward, revealing a large open room with another closed door on its opposite end. Rotten apples lay scattered throughout the room.

As Gruun approaches, a voice calls out from within, faint and low, but feminine.

"Please do come in."

Claws vs. Tanakir (Disadvantage-Critical Fail): 7

Undead screams fill the air as Tanakir catches a spawn's face ablaze. It tries to wrench away, but Tanakir holds it still firmly, bringing his club up high. The shillelagh slams through the creature's skull, shattering it with divine energy, but as one falls, another takes its place when Rycider appears behind the genasi. Tanakir feels more claws beating against his armor even as he smacks away a set of hands and slams his club again into another.

OOC: Three enemies remain. One is lightly wounded, but both Rycider and Tanakir are now fairly wounded themselves.

Tanakir extends his healing light (3d6) towards Rycider again before swinging at the vampire spawn that he just hit.

Helf: 14

Attack: 17 Damage: 14

Attack: 26 Damage: 16

Hex: 1, 4

3rd level smite on the hit: 22

Gruun nods to Hox and motions to the right side of the door. He readies his Greataxe and steps through the door scanning from the left side towards the center.

Fire Mah DEAR MORE FIRE! Rycider shouts, her fear starting to get the better of her.

She regains her composure and while behind Tanakir whispers in his ear wooosahr
