These two ghoulish creatures (maurezhi) that are engaged with Yian, Ydri, Silenus and Rinn are made of sturdier stuff than the undead this crew has encountered recently, if at all. They aren't bursting in flames or running scared. 

They are taking damage.

As Ydri gets a good grip on the on focused on Yian by digging its teeth into the fiends shoulder and clawing its back, it howls its frustration. 

((Hostiles))

maurezhi 

The bloodied maurezhi attacks Silenus.

Against Silenus w/ disadvantage (Rinn's Rakdos)

Bite. 16 to hit with 14 piercing damage.

If hit Charisma score is reduced by 4. This reduction lasts until the target finishes a short or long rest. Give me Silenus Charisma score, if hit.

Claws. 7 to hit with 17 slashing damage.

If hit make a Constitution saving throw DC 12 or be paralyzed for 1 minute.

You may repeat the saving throw at the end of each of your turns, ending the effect on yourself on a success.

The bloodied maurezhi attacks Yian.

Against Yian w/ disadvantage (Ydri)

You may repeat the saving throw at the end of each of your turns, ending the effect on yourself on a success.

The three ghast, barley standing, attack Robwin.

Make a DEX save DC 12 to take half damage.

Make a DEX save DC 12 to take half damage.

Make a DEX save DC 12 to take half damage.

If hit make a Constitution saving throw, DC 10 or be paralyzed for 1 minute. You can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of your turns, ending the effect on a success.

The two grotesque gravid, now within the light of the torch, holding fast on the ceiling spew forth a noxious gas at Yian and Robwin. 

Make a CON save DC 12 or take 7 poison damage. 

Make a DEX save DC 10 take 10 acid dog or half on success. 

Robwin reacts with shield ((AC goes up to 21 and they all miss)).

A couple of the creatures’ claws make screeching sparks off of his shield and mage armour, like nails down a blackboard, and tiny magical sparks fly off. 

(( New round Rinn, Yian, Robwin, Silenus, hostiles. ))

Con save: 18

Dex save: 21 

Robwin’s Abjuration spell (shield) refreshed his Arcane Ward by 2 points… which brought it up just enough to absorb all the acid damage. Robwin remains completely unscathed, just, (but his ward hp are all temporarily gone).

He flinches against the acid but is relieved when his magical ward takes the damage.

Yian Is down!

Death Save on her Turn in case shes not gotten up

Death Save 2

Silenus grimaces at taking yet another bite from the maurezhi.

(Charisma down to 1).

He snarls with anger and sweeps his great axe out in a raising arc, letting the momentum of the blow carry the blade up and then down again in a strong slash to the maurezhi's shoulder.

Great Axe 1: Attack: 11 Damage: 8  

Great Axe 2: Attack: 24 Damage: 13   

((If someone is down, it might be an opportunity to get a summary of what we see now? All ghouls burned away? Three tougher ones on Robwin. Two things on the ceiling?))

@DM…

Concentration check: 21

Robwin breathes out more fire across the monsters attacking him…

((DC15 DEX save or take 10 (fire damage), half on save)).

If he has no more melee attackers now, he’ll move as far out of the way of the thing on the ceiling as possible, whilst moving as near to his friends as he can (without getting in anything’s threatened area). If any of the ones on him are still up, he’ll stay where he is.

@DM…

((sorry for the question… does Robwin have to make a concentration check when his Arcsne Ward takes damage? I can’t find the answer anywhere! Is just a silly technical query but would have saved me re-casting dragons breath earlier and saved a spell slot. I was about to take another concentration check now but I’ve still not taken any actual harm… I’ll do the concentration check anyway, but let me know: does damage off the Arcane Ward trigger a concentration check? Thanks)).

Concentration check: 17

 Your ward absorbs damage then you do. If you don't take damage, you don't make a concentration check. 

Of course, when the ward is breached, it's done, shattered. 

Robwin does need to make a save for each Ghast attack (three). Sorry, if it was too much in one post.

 Just a reiteration, your arcane ward isn't temp hp, it's more a shield with its own hp, like a door or boat. 

Rinn once again stabs the maurezhi attacking Silenus.

Rakdos Attack: 11 Damage: 11

Dagger Attack: 27 Damage: 4

Sneak Attack: 16

Yian and the maurezhi attacking her are about forty-five feet northwest of the southern wall and stairway up out of this subfloor to the main area.

Their is a gravid clinging to the ceiling just five feet northwest of Yian.

About fifteen feet northeast of her are Rinn, Silenus, and the second maurezhi between them. 

About fifteen feet northwest of them is Robwin with three Ghast attacking him. 

A gravid clinging to the ceiling just five feet northwest of Robwin.

Another ten feet north of Robwin is a mass of twisted thorns and burning corpses of undead. 

You currently make a sort of zigzag pattern.

((So I used the shield spell as a reaction, so all the ghasts’ attacks missed I think. Post #4299. So I don’t think I have to save from any of that. Is that correct?))
