Umbriel stands back a respectful distance, waiting for them to exit. "I don't know how long ago the dragon died, it was kind of hard to get too close what with all the stink, ash, and foul smells from the scene. It probably happened overnight, but I can't say for sure. I'm defenseless, and I don't feel safe out there alone - I'll wait here until you get back!"
Baeshra will turn himself into a small spider and start trying to climb into the building through the gap in the window.
6 men, all dressed in black with strange pointy masks exit the building. The leader sighs and says "You will not wait here, come with us if you must."
You make it into the building just fine and see the last of the men walking out. It is dusty with lots of cobwebs. The only furnishings are a small stove, a table, two chairs and a bunk.
As the last man leaves the building, Umbriel starts to follow along, waiting until the group is about 15-20 feet away from the building before going into full meltdown, trying to keep all of the cultists' attention focused on him, and not on anything his companions may be doing. "OOOhhh!!! I can't take it any more - Savage orcs! Bloodthirsty insects! Walking bushes! Dead dragons! OOOOoooHHHHhhh!!" Umbriel falls to his knees, burying his face in his hands, sobbing uncontrollably.
Performance check!
Performance check: 23
(Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to thank the Academy...)
The leader, Favric, sighs. Then motions to two of his men. They come back to you and pick you up from the under the arms and attempt to brush the dirt off of you.
"Let's go!"
All of their attention is, indeed, focused on you.
Lyngheid looked at Rosie, " Did he explain what the exact plan was? Because I feel if he gets to the dragon with those six he's dead."
" So I kind of think I should put a ring on the fellows carrying him....but I will wait for you..."
OOC: Held Action Spiritual Weapon summoned over the two carrying Umbriel, if someone else in the group attacks them. Or we just say our private farewells to Umbriel and continue on our way. ;)
Ireniana turns to Lyngheid and Rosie. "We could always follow them close by on the way to the tower but that could give away our position. Maybe he'll try to escape."
OOC: Tough call. Ireniana doesn't want to attack because that's risking Umbriel getting hurt.
I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.
(Ha!)
As Umbriel is scooped up, his voice drops back into his regular tone and carries a somber gravitas as he says "I told you, I want to stay here!" He then casts Sword Burst with his action. Dex save DC 13 or take 4 damage
During Umbriel’s little tantrum, Baeshra would revert forms and look around the cabin.

Everyone roll initiative, Lyngheid, your held action takes effect, roll your attack!
Baeshra, you find a small coffer in the main room. It has three diamonds (worth 100gp each) and three green emeralds worth 50 GP each.
Cultiist Initiative: 13. Take your first round turn if your initiative is higher!
Ireniana Initiative - 7
I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.

Whistler - Lost Mines of Phandelver [Lvl 8 Barbarian] | Cinta Yuliani Lestari - My Island Home [Lvl 3 Fighter] | Shalana - Allansia Wildlands [Lvl 4 Monk] | Roger Durant - Storm King's Thunder [Lvl 8 Monster Hunter] | Rotthran - The Waterdeep Heist [Lvl 5 Thief]
Lyngheid come forward, calling on her goddess to strike down the cultists.....though she did feel a little bad about it.
Initiative: 14
Spiritual Weapon: Attack: 25 Damage: 6
Baeshra initiative: 21
Not yet coming out of the cabin, Baeshra will cast barkskin on himself and then transform into a deinonychus.
One of the cultists escorting Umbriel takes the full 6 damage.
He's also hit by Lyngheid's Spiritual Weapon and he crumbles to the ground, dead!
The other 5 don't see anyone but Umbriel and 3 turn to attack him:
12
20
11
One hits for 0 damage.
The other two including the leader, look for other danger: 15. And they spot Lyngheid and Rosie, but do not know that Whistler and Baeshra are behind the house.
Favric shouts: "Form up! There's two more in the bushes!" and points them out.
The party is up! Everyone take your turns!
Baeshra will charge out of the house and pounce on the one who shouted.
Attack: 10 Damage: 7 claw
Attack: 17 Damage: 5 claw
Attack: 16 Damage: 9 bite
Pounce. If the deinonychus moves at least 20 feet straight toward a creature and then hits it with a claw attack on the same turn, that target must succeed on a DC 12 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. If the target is prone, the deinonychus can make one bite attack against it as a bonus action
Attack: 23 Damage: 8 bite
(if he saves vs the pounce, the last attack will be a hungry jaws bite instead, forgot to post that.)
