Ramious' eyes are bloodshot and his face looks full of stress. He doesn't even talk, and avoids eye contact. He seems to wring his hands as they go. As soon as they find a safe enough looking spot in the hallway, he slumps against the wall, and slides down until he's on his butt.  Then he slides sideways until he's on the ground. Then he curls up into a ball and seems to go to sleep. Sure enough, a few moments later, he's snoring. 

As silence hung over the group after Keraptis’ taunting words, Alyssa eventually just starts a slow clap, the sound echoing through the area. Well he did it. He’s getting exactly what he wants and has succeeded in breaking her. She’d stop as abruptly as she began.

Ushering herself along like the sheep she’s been, Alyssa follows the leaders to their chosen resting area, whenever and wherever it’s decided. She’d wait for the others to settle themselves. With Ramious taking his place against a wall, A would move herself to an opposing corner. With her back pressed against a wall, she’d prepare a spell and take watch to ensure Bernard, Leon and Rami would receive at least a 4 hour uninterrupted rest. When they’d eventually fall into a slumber, the elf would make rounds, laying the closest things to blankets she could find within her supplies to cover them before she’d settle herself into a meditative state to attempt some rest of her own.

"So we are resting here then..." Leon says with a nod to Ramious's inert form. He sees the others settling down, so moves to a space between them and starts casting a ritual... tiny hut

Ramious, presumably roused so that he moves within the tiny hut range, moves over, continuing to look unhappy and not make eye contact.  Once done, he slumps back over to continue resting.

Bugs flowed behind, his bow hung low as well as his head.  He looked up at Alyssa while she clapped and he weakly brought up a hand to address her but then just let it fall back to the ground.  He got into the hut but before sleeping he touched the neck wound.  

Weakly, he raised his hand and cupped into to his mouth.  When he brought it way and opened it, a slightly green colored moth was there.  It went about crawling around a bit and as it did to grew.  Larger and larger it grew and as it did so, a soft green glow eminated from it.  Soft green dust drifted off it and it did so his neck wound healed.  With a simple nod it gently fluttered about.

Bug used healing spirit in the form of a moth.  He gains 1 hp and there are another 2d6 left for someone to use.

Ramious leaves the healing to Alyssa or Leon. Only if no one else needs it will he take some.

Leon wasn't even hurt in the fight, so Ramious or Alyssa can have the healing.

Bugs is at full now.  It was more of a narrative puce that I wanted and to see something pretty for his mental health.

Alyssa would stand watch outside the hut if required, but otherwise would settle in the comfort of Leon's magical space with the group. She felt safe in the protective veil of his magic, despite any anticipated threats from outside it. There was still darkness stirring in her heart, casting it's shadows of fear and doubt even from inside, but for now it was calmed. She could breathe.

A would reach into her pocket and pull out her pearl that gave off a soft glow of power. She'd roll it between her fingers before holding it stationary before her, casting the faintest of warm light on her face. The wizard contemplated whether to activate it to take in the reserve of magic, or hold off for now. Exhaling a breath, she'd decide to tuck it securely between two fingers that continued to grip Whelm. If they were to encounter an enemy before a proper rest, she'd use it.

With the pearl tucked, the faint light was snuffed and darker shades return. Alyssa would close her eyes for a moment and tilt her head back to inhale a fresh breath through her nose. She'd feel a tickle, causing her nose to scrunch a little with a wiggle. It lingered with slight warmth. Opening her eyes, blue hues would hone in on a soft glowing green moth that 'found itself' perched on her nose. Cross eyed blinks would watch it reach out with its itty bitty feets to 'boop' the elf. With a glittery flat of its wings it'd take to the air once again.

(If I may take the liberty for the mental health heals by Bugs.)
Healing: 1

It still brought enough warmth to pull at the corner of Alyssa's lip for even the smallest hint of a smile.

Ramious doesn't take the healing, letting Alyssa have all of it. 

Once inside, he tosses and turns uncomfortably for a while, not able to get back to sleep, and eventually sits up with a huff. 

He glances around at his companions, "Do you think I should go back and get Cassandra so she can rest here with us? I don't feel so good about leaving her back in that room. She seemed like she was a trapped toy of....you know who...and that jerk doesn't deserve to keep her trapped like that."

(Presuming he gets an either firm or soft NO for that idea...)

He looks at the group, "So....have you identified this hammer at all?  Seems like, if it's as powerful an useful as whelm there, we may want to make use of it. And no, don't worry, I know Cassandra wanted it back, but she's just following her orders from what's his nuts, and I'm not going to go hand her the very thing we're here for, just cause she wants me to. No, we need to keep it, maybe use it as we go...and then when we free her from here she'll realize she doesn't actually need or want this thing, and just be happy to be free.  Maybe she'll join our group!  Though, I think no feeding on us is a big rule. I'm ok if she does on me, I got extra blood to spare, but not on any of you. That's off side. So...you gunna identify it?"

The tiny safe heaven appeared between the acidic puddle and the entrance to the intersection with the sphinx, blocking the corridor in both directions. First few minutes after the Dom erection were quite peaceful and allowed some rest and even an exchange of few words. But it could not last for long, of course. "The voice" joined the group as usual without any warning. "Aw, getting cozy in my dungeon already. And we did not even finished yet! Liked what you saw, I take it? Can not blame you, exquisite design, overwhelmingly impressive. Takes time for lesser minds to take it all in and some rest in  between, of course. Go ahead, I don't mind. After all, you are going to spend the rest of your lives here - and quite possibly your afterlife as well." The speech was interrupted with a very satisfied laugh. "But let no one call me an inattentive host! I would never leave you alone here, of course - would be terribly impolite of me. Though, let's make it a liiitle bit more interesting - we can roll for it! Like the idea? I thought you would." An accelerated sound of something rolling (way too familiar to anyone ever visiting a tavern with an open gambling in it) filled the corridor. "Feeling lucky today? I do! Let's see how many servants should I send to greet you. I might even let dice decide who would it be!" It went quiet for a moment - Keraptis was probably counting dice. "Or may be not."

Eight hours went by uneventful. Even Keraptis did not bother you anymore allowing to sleep, talk, rest - whatever you feel like. No one came, nobody attacked the dom.

What does Leon do after 8 hours? Who will re-cast the spell and how?

(and does Leon identify the hammer?) 

(Actually, Whelm said it himself - he was made for dwarves and (in technical terms) only a worthy dwarf can attune to it)

Leon would simply recast as a ritual, timing it to start just after the previous one ended.  Yes Leon would identify the hammer, but doubt if that is going to tell us much that we don’t know already.

Let's be precise here: 10 minutes the party is exposed to the dungeon?

No, seconds only, as he starts casting it ten minutes before it goes down. Not even sure if it needs to be seconds. What happens if you cast a tiny hut inside a tiny hut? Does it just overlay the original and you continue on? I have not researched it, so not sure myself, likely a DM call.

He absolutely can! (not to cast inside but say "feel" the timing and make it second-to-second). 342

Interestingly enough, when party did not emerged after eight hours of rest - nothing happened. Keraptis did not even commented on it. And thus begun another 8 hours of cramming in a tiny space (hope you ate something there).

You get all the benefits of long rest including items recharges (check what you roll for number of charges when applicable).

Now you can squeeze around the sphinx and enter the last corridor. As usual - please tell how you do it and the order of movement (two can walk abreast  in the corridor).

Ramious asks Alyssa if he can hold the hammer and try to reason with it.  "I'm about as dwarf like as a human as you'll find. Maybe it'll let me borrow him for a while, just to help get him back into the hands of a dwarf and out of this place."

"So...are we going to go get the last weapons, THEN go rescue Cassandra?  She seemed to really get us all riled up and angry at each other, and you were all acting very weird. Also, she didn't seem that useful in a fight, so, maybe we don't want her around while we battle. Let's fetch the others weapons then we can go back and get her out of that room. I'm sorry we were all fighting back there by the way. I don't really even understand why...just...a misunderstanding maybe?  Anyway, I feel WAY better now. Back to normal!"

"We shouldn't see Cassandra...  she's a vampire.  Don't know if she is a bad vampire since we left but definitely a blood suckered," Bugs says in response.

(Reminder to Bernard - the Vampire Charm is not over yet. 8 more hours to that.)
