Brunella steps on the right to have a clear shot with her javelin.

Kurma seems a bit scared at the moment. Despite his knowledge, he would have never thought that goblin could master such spells.

Musharib takes his handaxe from the ground and throws it again, this time against the goblin boss.

Inete, seeing what the goblin boss is capable of, casts a Protection from Energy on Irommek.

Round 3 (Map)

Seeing Gertrude take such a blow from magic, Irommek hesitated for a moment.  He had never encountered a goblin like this in all of his years on this plane.  He tightened the grip on his hammer and strengthened his resolve to focus all his efforts on this dangerous witch!

He wasn’t sure how to attack something without hitting it, so had made up his mind to commit to an assault despite Gertrude’s warnings.  Suddenly he felt Inete touch his arm and a strange sensation filled him with confidence.  Growling, he ran towards the goblin boss and saw the spectral armor fade and he swung his hammer at the hideous mask.

OOC: Going all out for this one. 

Action: Attack (16), damage (11) against goblin boss. 

Additional Action: Action surge – Attack(11), damage (7)

Bonus Action: If either hit, using one superiority die, Menacing Attack – WIS save (13) or become frightened and add superiority die to one of the hit damage (6).

Goblin Boss WIS saves 21, 18

The menacing attacks of Irommek seem to be pretty effective.

The Goblin Boss is angry. Whispering to entities from the Far Realm, dark tendrils of otherworldly energy come out of the goblin's mask to strike Irommek, Inete, Brunnella, Dragonbait, Gertrude and Kurma.
Necrotic damage: 25 and the target can't take reactions - STR save to halve the damage

However, a magical aura comes out of Dragonbait. Or better from his sword. The aura helps to combat the nasty effects of the goblin's spell.

Round 3 (Map)
Felix (7/18)      Artus (+2)    Dragonbait (24, no reaction)     Irommek (5/31, no reaction, Protection from Energy)     Gobin Boss (47, 5(3-2))     G7 ()    G9 ()     G10 ()     Oniss (20/20+2)     Gertrude (0/34, unconscious, prone)     Brunella (25/35)     Kurma (21/21+2, spiritual weapon 10)     Musharib (+2, Pass without Trace)    Inete (10, 1(4-1) 3(2-1), c)

Gritting his teeth from the pain of being touched by the otherworldly tendril, Irommek decided to take a different tactic.  He and Oniss had tried and failed to intimidate the goblin boss.  Maybe he’ll distract it better with some old fashioned taunting.

“Ah, that tickles little smelly goblin.  In fact, it’s pushing a wee bit on my bladder.  Can I borrow that mask and use it as a chamber pot?”

OOC: Strength save (12) , with advantage ()7

Suddenly the tendril squeezed and Irommek thought he heard bones break under his armor.  His vision narrowed into a tunnel.

Turning to Gertrude he managed to whisper, "I think I may have overdone the taunting..."

Oniss back up some from the fight and casts Chromatic orb at the boss goblin.

Atk9 on success 16 fire dmg.

Oniss looks to the party again and shrugs sheepishly.

//OOC- those rolls ouch//

That magical orb almost hit a parrot on the tree. Almost.

OOC Kurma you can do your turn and roll the STR save.

Gertrude sees the tendrils coming from the goblin mask. She has never seen anything like it. She is terrified. Then they hit. It feels as though they are enclosing her heart - and it breaks into a thousand tiny pieces. 

Gertrude falls unconscious to the ground. Her body is fighting to stay alive. (death save) 20 . And for now it is working...

Brunella seeing Gertrude on the ground, almost dead, grits her teeth and summons the rage inside. She charges the goblin boss, seeing nothing but red, and brings her greatsword down on its face with the force of a hammer striking an anvil. "You will DIE!", she screams.

Bonus: Rage
Attack: 23 Damage: 14

While Gertrude is unconscious on the ground but still breathing, Brunella shows all her strength with a single mighty blow.

STR save with advantage: 14

The black energy reach Kurma. Everything slows down, he sees Gertrude falling too, a last glance at Inete and the vision become blurry.... Black.... "Is it finishing this way? It cannot be, not against goblin..."

Kurma's transparent longsword's  still floating over his body, motionless...

The situation is dire. Gertrude and Kurma are down. But no. Not if Inete can help it. She goes all the way toward Gertrude and casts a healing spell.
Cure Wounds: 12

Musharib, now with no weapons, begins to dance an albino dwarf macarena to help Irommek exploiting the distraction.

OOC Kurma, you need to do a death save.
