Initiative: 6

Arliden looks at Cullen, then to Rex, then to Monk-e, then back to Rex, then back at Cullen...."I mean I don't notice a guy unlocking a door right in front of me so I just figured you'd been here the whole time and I didn't notice." "But if you're here to kill cultists you picked a good group to hang out with."

[Sorry for taking so long to get things going. The past few days have been crazy busy.]

Monk-E, you're up. There are 3 humans, 2 of them (listed as Gs) are wearing cult robes but are not wearing any masks and seem to have some armor on under the robes.

{ooc - So, I'm assuming we're all still in the tunnel, I'm in the front having unlocked the metal grate, everyone is behind me, the tunnel is narrow such that we cannot all rush out at once, and the humans have not entered the tunnel and there's room for me to come out}

Monk-E takes the dodge action and rushes out of the tunnel and runs to get behind the humans in a flanking position in hopes that this allows his fellow adventurers can exit the tunnel and help address these humans.

{ooc: I am not sure what the marching order is or how much room I have to maneuver around them, but any opportunity attacks against me should be rolled with disadvantage}  

{ooc: Good question, I'm not sure the marching order either. what is our current position?}

[You are all out of the tunnel already, moving along the stream towards the chapel. There's no difficult terrain or other obstacles in the immediate vicinity to be concerned with. You can all move around freely.

Monk-E, would you like to change your actions given this arrangement?] 

Monk-E dashes forward and swings his sword at the nearest human (attack: 20 damage: 8) followed by a knee to the groin (if still standing) or a side kick to the next human in line (attack: 13 damage: 6).

Monk-E's sword slashes at one of the humans with no mask [G1] and leaves a big gash in his arm. Immediately, Monk-E brings up his knee, doubling the man over and knocking him down.

The cultist with a mask starts whispering words you can't understand and moving his hands. Something that looks almost like fire appears above Monk-E's head and descends on him. [Make a reflex save]

The other cultist thrusts a spear at Monk-E.

[Attack: 16 Damage: 3]

Monk-E barely moves out of the way in time.

Rex, it's your turn. 

((Aplogies, missed this notification.))

Rex steps out of the tunnel as the spell caster blasts fire at Monk-E. Rex cracks his knuckles and shouts, "Hey buddy! How do you fix a pair of dragon pants?" Rex builds his magic energy into a single phrase, "Wear a belt!" and will cast Tasha's Hideous Laughter with DC 14 toward the spellcaster.

[... did I kill you all with my comedic gold?]

You hear exactly four notes from Arlidens Lute behind you....dun, dun, dun duuunnnn

 [Wisdom save: 10] 

The cultist smirks a bit. "A dragon belt? That's pretty good, actually. A dragon belt! HAHAHAHA! DRAGON BELT!" and falls over in a fit of laughter. 

Cullen, you're up. 

Rex shouts over, "Keep the laughing one alive! We might need to interrogate him!"

Though it seems like 3 weeks have passed, it has only been mere moments. One human is dead, another is prone, laughing and occasionally muttering something about a belt, and the last one is a bit confused about his partner's behavior.

Arliden, it's your turn. 

Arliden looks at the last remaining (standing) cultist and cocks his head to one side...."You didn't get that joke? It's a dragon belt; because dragon pants....as in dragging pants like a play on words. Damn, I can't believe you're that stupid, I mean I'm pretty sure even a troglodyte would have found that humorous and not even a chuckle from you. I bet you flunked out of school and thats why you joined a cult huh?" (Arliden casts Vicious Mockery DC 14 Wisdom save or take 3)

Rex gives a thumbs up, "See? This guy gets it!"
