Initiative! 9

(And if Bry wants to roll, we’ll add him in, but I notice that he’s been silent for a bit.)

Elwarith

Davmorn

Rahadin

George

Viorela

Adanmar

Elwarith is up!

Still behind Adanmar, Elwarith will draw forth another arrow, nock it and send it towards Rahadin, as he lets the first one fly he whispers arcane words to the shaft casting Shadow arrow.

 [Gulthias Longbow: 28 Damage: 30]

While the first shot is in the air he'll unleash a second arrow to follow....

[Gulthias Longbow: 19 Damage: 5]

and as a bonus action, cunning action to hide

[Stealth: 29]

(OOC - ok I think those are correct this time - no sneak attack on the 2nd arrow)

The arrow lodged itself in Rahadin’s arm as the burst of inky shadow erupts from the wound, Wis Save: 7. It splashed directly into his eyes as the magic blinds his sight.

Davmorn will cast Bless on Vio, Adanmar, and George!

Rahadin, meanwhile, claws at his eyes. Despite the fact he can’t see you, he looks toward all of you with intensity! The chorus of souls swells with each passing moment. Everyone will need to make Wis Saves! (Which I’ll just do for expediency. If I miss something, let me know)

D: 14, E: 14, A: 24, V: 15, G: 13

As the voices scream inside your mind, you feel your vision blur, and trickle of blood from your nose. Everyone takes 8 psychic damage, while Davmorn and Adanmar save and only take half. Taking advantage of your momentary weakness, Rahadin then disengages, leaping over all of you, and descends into the foyer that you all came from.

(OOC - YES!!)

George is up next!

George remember what George doing, catch Rahadin, rage, grapple Rahadin, knock Rahadin prone.  27.  22. 

Rahadin Counterchecks: against Grab 14, against Prone 20. Ah, close but no.

As Rahadin runs past George, George’s feral instincts kick in. Within a moment, George pounces like a wild lion and pins Rahadin to the floor. He writhes and curses, but for the moment, George has him firm.

Viorela! Rahadin is pinned, your move!

(Did you already subtract the 18 from my HP? It seems that way, but let me know if not!)

Viorela mutters a cursed verse at Rahadin, "You will suffer for siding with the vampire lord, cur!" She lashes out her whip at Rahadin twice!

Movement: Get close enough to whip.
Bonus Action: Hexblade's Curse
Standard Action: Two attacks with the whip!
Attack 1: 12 + Blessed 1, Damage 1: 11 slashing + 3 slashing from Hexblade's Curse. 
Attack 2: 11 + Blessed 1, Damage 2: 12 slashing + 3 slashing from Hexblade's Curse.
If attack 1 hits, will use a Pact Spell Slot to Divine Smite! Level 2 Divine Smite: 18 radiant.
If attack 2 hits, will use a Pact Spell Slot to Divine Smite! Level 2 Divine Smite: 9 radiant.

Advantage for attack 1, cause I am a dummy: 16

Advantage for attack 2, cause I am a super dummy: 9

Both strikes carve into his side as the silvery fire of Viorela’s whip brands itself into his side. He looks intensely wounded and his breath haggard, yet still he persists. He spits on the woman’s boot in defiance. Adanmar is up!

Adanmar Windblood

The Revenant, eying the dusk elf who slaughtered his clan and family roars in satisfaction "Well done George, reeeeeally well done" he points the edge of the Sunsword towards Rahadin "I am going to root out your debt, now..."

Adanmar lightly slice the palm of his hand, crimson red blood runs through the blade and it seems that the sunblade glows even brighter. He attempts to sever the dusk elf head 

((Bonus Action: Activating Crimson Rite: +1d6 Radiant damage:

Attack 1: Attack: 22 Radiant Damage: 17 / Attack: 29 Radiant Damage: 19))

(Yes, Anakin, do it)

You bring the blade down with a flick of the wrist as the head rolls to your feet, the sneer still glaring at you from cold, lifeless eyes. The voices go silent. There is no satisfaction. No peace. You still feel hate. One remains.

((Eh eh))

Adanmar Windblood

The Revenant spits on that sneer "Ohhhh, that is a nice start" Adanmar bends to take Rahadin's head. He uses his hair to fasten the Assassin's head to his belt. "Not bad, one remains, and I have a gift, what guests we'd be if we won't bring anything"

"Well done my friends...."

Elwarith will loot the corpse of Rahadin and say "seems like the only one suffering are the ones siding with your vampire lord..."

There is not much on Rahadin’s body aside from 2 poison darts and some studded leather armor. The way to Strahd once again lies before you.

Adanmar Windblood

((What are the options?  What we see here?))

"These might be useful......" and Elwarith will pocket the 7 poison darts - and if the armor doesn't appear to be magical or better than the studded leather he's already wearing he'll leave that.

"One less dog at the vampire's side, good," Viorela nods to herself. She finds no reason to argue over the dead body and its belongings. So long as the terrible dreadlord is killed, Viorela will find satisfaction. 

The monster hunter leads the way into the next area, hand on her whip. 

(I think we were fighting near the stairs? Sorry I have a bad grasp of where we are right now.)
