Nuzej is glowing with a hazy red nimbus as he picks himself up off the floor. He glances around the room. Four holes the size of a table are smashed through the ceiling of the tavern and through the floor down the center of the room. Chunks of glowing molten rock are scattered across the room and in every surface. Flames have taken alight all over the room and a thick roiling smoke is quickly filling the room. Bodies lie everywhere amid the smoke and wreckage, though a few people seem to still be squirming. From across the smokey room he hears the front door smash open.....

Nuzej shakes off some dust and groans to his feet. Over the link he says, at first slowly and then accelerating to his usual rapid-fire polysyllabic clip: "fire, rocks fell, people dead... penetrated from roof through floor. Happened the instant Kyriani retrieved a stone behind the bar and displayed it. The Eye, I surmise. We are assuredly being watched. The front door is breached. Descend quickly, I will protect the bar."
He jumps over the bar (the goal is smooth but likely he doesn't pull it off well given injuries and damage) and moves between the remains of the bartender and what he hopes is not the corpse of Kyriani. He glances down and tries to locate the smooth white stone.
Looking up he almost invites any survivors behind the bar for a drink, but holds off (assume that mental verbiage, quick as it was, suffices for how much he can talk in a round, and also, he doesn't really know what's going on).
Even before Nuzej had finished his spiel, one of the Leonin pair at least is well on the move downstairs. Though in seeing the smoke, he had to pause long enough to take a deep breath, before rushing onward still to the main floor. If from there he too spotted no obvious signs of hostility, he adds through the link 'Headed for the front. If they have others, I'll hold the line there.' Then he's off again at a clipped pace while keeping as much an eye as he could on any concerning movement in the smoke.
Action/Movement: [action]Dash;Dashing[/action]/moving full 70ft as close to the front door as he last remembered, or at least until within 10ft of Guy#1.

Xemnez rushes down the hallway and to the top of the stairs leading down. The room that only minutes before had been a vibrant tavern was in ruin. Four ragged holes are torn through the roof, with four more smoking holes through the floor of the building. Chunks of smoking rock are embedded in everything and the whole place is scorched, with flames licking the walls. Smoke is quickly filling the building, but for the moment you can see well enough. Xemnez races down the stairs and sees Nuzej slip gingerly over the bar and up to the still body of Kyriani. He seems to be searching around on the ground, amidst the dripping, flaming liquor, shards of broken glass and other detritus covering the floor behind the bar. Xemnez glances at one of the commoners who someone survived the blast and is picking himself off the floor.
(Nuzej, it will take an action of Investigation, to try and find the stone amidst the wreckage.)
Behind him, Toc comes striding to the top of the stairs. He has a rapier in one hand and his staff in the other. He clumps the bottom of his staff onto the floor and from out of nowhere a veritable wave of water pours into existence....but rather than spray across the floor, the thing takes shape into a roughly two armed amorphous being, frothing with motion. Toc shouts at it, "Put out the flames!" The water elemental leaps at the flames against one wall, throwing it's body against it and issuing forth a loud hiss and a big plume of white steam.
The guy closest to Xemnez looks entirely unharmed by the attack, though by his bodily motions he's clearly injured. In fact, none of his clothes or equipment is damaged in the slightest. Xemnez's shred eye begins to pick apart the telling signs of an illusion wrapped around the man. Without hesitation the man mutters a word and vanishes. He appears standing on the scorched boards of the bar, and glances about in the wreckage everywhere. ( 23 vs DC 15 )
(If the guy gets DC 15 or better...)
The man leaps from the bar, landing near Nuzej, and flips up a bit of broken shelf, grabbing the white stone.
(if the guy fails to get DC 15)
The man paces the bar top, continuing to cast his gaze around, searching.
Zhuti, it is your action. (no movement is required to get up from prone, in the aftermath of the sudden attack, getting up is free.)
Nuzej sees the other man shimmer into view on top of the bar. With a new found sense of urgency, he begins batting chunks of broken glass, bits of broken baubles, and shards of liquor bottles away trying to find the stone. The other man, his clothes still perfect an undamage, but limping badly, and leaving small pools of blood behind, casts his glance around. Nuzej bangs a chunk of shelf away and a white stone skitters out from underneath and slides to a stop right at the base of the bar by the man. He grins, leaping down and grabbing it before Nuzej can make another move.
Zhuti, is up!

Zhuti growls and bleeds a lot on the floor in the rubble, then makes a sign and says a quiet word, and dances to her feet. A quick glance at the room and she’s off running towards the bar, drawing a shining translucent saber as she goes!
Action: cast Power Word: Heal on herself. Move: In as straight a line as possible towards the bar and Kyriani and the limping guy who shimmered into view

ey/em/eirs, or they/them works, too (just not he). Role-playing since that keep on those borderlands. I love it so.
Xemnez glances around as motion begins occurring all around the bar. The vanishing man appears by the bar and leaps behind it to where Nuzej is....coming up with a white rock clutched in one hand. An apparent priest of Selune who looked near dead suddenly shimmers with pale blue light, all of the womans wounds healing, despite the holes and burns in her clothing. Looking more than a little angry the woman stalks quickly across the tavern and reaches the bar, her eyes casting down as Kyriani the high priestess and bar owner, with her concern.
Then eight people come rushing into the bar through the front door. But they're not there to rescue anyone. They have blades, and shields, and hammers, and rush in glancing around, making eye contact with the man behind the bar. They are oddly quiet as they rush about.
Thyrius, Simaal, you're both up. (note, it is 30 feet of movement to Toc's position)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Simaal moves down behind and to the side of Toc down enough so he can see the whole floor. Well they could be the city guard thinks Simaal, it's not like they've done anything...but... that's awful coincidental a rapid response party is onsite within a few seconds.... Oh well, bamboozle now, apologize later.... he thinks as he walks down and looks around, the squints at the rapid response party further thinking how nice of them to wear similar clothing and weapons. 20'cube so looks like I can get A14, A10, A7, A11, A8, A13, A12... Leaving patrons and A8 just fiiiine other than being on fire, bleeding, etc. 26 damage and stunned if not save against DC 19 (success 1/2 damage).
Almost in unison, all but two of the new entrants to the room clutch their heads and yell in sudden confused pain, and begin staggering about in one spot, gurgling and drooling while blood trickles down out of their noses and from their ears. Only one seems to have not noticed, while another staggers, but then looks around the room with an angry glare.
Thyrius is up.

Seemingly the last one to leave the private room, Thyrius has some catching up to do. He facilitates that endeavor by clicking his magical footwrappings together to increase his speed (bonus action). He'll use all speed needed to catch up to Toc first and then his brother.
To Toc: "How about a magical retreat? Let us get what we came here to get and teleport away. There is no need to make a prolonged fight out of whatever happened here."
To Xem: "Brother, What happened here? Who is our enemy? I'll attack at your command, as/if needed."
Thyrius readies an [Tooltip Not Found] (Agonizing Blast) against whichever target Xem makes his move against. Depending on the enemy, Thyrius can push them 10ft away with each blast if it would be helpful. -> Attack#1: 26 Damage: 12 -> Attack#2: 22 Damage: 12 -> Attack#3: 25 Damage: 7 -> Attack#4: 21 Damage: 7

Another of the patrons who manages to stagger to his feet is relatively close the Xemnez and had been at the same table as the teleporting man. Likewise, his clothing, skin, and hair look entirely untouched by the conflagration that just occurred...though his motions clearly demonstrate pain and injury. He glances at activity, using the table to steady himself, leaving a bloody hand print. He absently notes the Leonin, water elemental, elf wizard, and priestess, but is almost entirely focussed on the man with the stone in his hand. The man begins casting a spell....though he is just beyond the range of either Toc or Nuzej to try and counterspell him, even if the noticed through the chaos.
He completes his spell with no immediate obvious affect....though a moment later the smoke billowing around room begins deflecting about oddly. It takes a moment for people to realize, but there is now clearly an invisible barrier erected part way through the room. It cuts along the room, but things get hazy and indistinct when the get behind the bar where some other faintly shimmering bubble is interacting with it.
The back door that leads to the kitchen smashes open as more people come running in. Like the others, these ones seem less interested in rescuing fallen people, taking into account the swords and maces in their hands.
Toc mentally responds back to Thyrius, "Kyriani was fetching the eye for us...we can't leave without it..." He glances down to his left, over the hand railing of the stairs he's on, where a flood of new people have started entering the room. With a smooth motion he leaps over the railing and lands amidst the crowd. "Hello there folks." As they angrily turn to face them his rapier begins crackling with green fire as he slashes into the closest man.
