-/-/- Tomb of Annihilation -\-\-

Gertrude wriggles in the hands of the gargoyle. This is what Brunella warned her about, and she had been reckless. She gets more angry against her self, and her rages again rises, renewed. 

She tries to brake free (athletics with rage) 26 and her rage sends out a lightning arc 3 (DEX DC 14, half damage on success)

Gargoyle DEX save: 8, STR check 24

Resting his crossbow on top of his shield, Irommek wills the shield to amplify his voice as loud as possible and yells a guttural dwarven war call.

"Arrrrrggggghhhhh-aaahhhooooooo!!!  Put her down and fly back to the hole from which you came or I'll pee on your dusty remains after I smash you with my hammer and drink that bitter wine!!"

OOC: Maybe a little thunderwave action?  If nothing else, firing heavy crossbow (5), damage if hit (10).  

Dragonbait dashes forward and gets on the balcony.

Oniss focuses on the gargoyle and cast Chill Touch

Attack: 26 Damage: 17

"Nice one Oniss !!!"

Brunella brings up the rage within her. With a grimace, she jumps up and grabs one of the gargoyle's wings, pulling it down with her full dwarven strength. Her hand grips the creature like a stonesmith's vise, pulling down with her might!

Inete casts a radiant flame against the gargoyle...
Radiant Damage: 9, Gargoyle DEX save 12

... when the Gargoyle begins to fall! Brunella's grappling move has been impeccable, but she grabbed one of the wings. Unable to fly, the massive stony creature succumbs to the gravity, bringing Gertrude and Brunella with it.

During the fall, the Gargoyle does not waste time to attack Gertrude.
Attack: 18 Damage: 15
Attack: 28 Damage: 14

Round 3

• Gertrude (65/75, bless, Rage 8, prone, grappled)
• Oniss (41/41)
• Kurma (45/45, bless 8)
• Irommek (56/65)
• Felix (44/52, bless)
• Dragonbait (120/120)
• Brunella (74/82, bless, Rage 9, prone)
• Inete (80/80, 1(3/4) 2(3/3) 3(2/3))
• Gargoyle (91, prone, grappled)
• Artus (85/85)

The gargoyle begins to fall, taking Gertrude with it. Brunella has only a moment to make a split second decision: To let go, or fall along with them.

She will not let Gertrude fall to an unknown depth with a gargoyle and golem. She heroically leaps over the banister, and climbs on the gargoyle's head. 

The fall is hard, and Brunella feels her teeth rattle in her skull. But she was prepared for it, and minimizes the damage by steeling herself as she lands (8 dmg)

She lands in a tangle of bodies, as she, Gertrude and the gargoyle all fall prone on the ground. With her free hand, Brunella uses Ras Ni's flaming sword to slash at the stone creature! She flails, writhing on the ground, but manages to strike a blow at its head.

OOC This below is where Gertrude, Brunella and the Gargoyle have fallen...

At the bottom of the grand staircase, a resonant mechanical rumbling emanates from a dark shaft opening up in the middle of this chamber’s floor. Four cylindrical stone pedestals surround the shaft, each ten feet tall, five feet wide, and featuring a tiny slot in its side. Squatting atop three of the pedestals are a large four-armed gargoyles. Another skeleton stands in the middle of the room.

Felix will take another arrow out and aim at the gargoyle!

Hit: 18

Damage: 5

Sneak Attack: 16

[W/ disadvantage it's 13 rolled on Discord]

[Forgot Bless!] 3

Looking over the edge, Irommek sighs, "Oh, that looks like it hurt."

Knowing that it would take too long to get down the stairs, Irommek points at the Gargoyle and lets lose a little magic to help the girls.

OOC: Casting Toll the Dead against the gargoyle, (11) if saved fail.

The flaming sword gives enough light to see where the creature is. Gertrude and Brunella seem fine, for now.
Kurma decides to keep concentrating on the Bless (Felix, Gertrude, Brunella and himself) and releases his Sacred Flame on the Gargoyle
DEX15 or 6 radiant damage

 As the ray of light appears, Kurma grabs his necklace and pray for Oghma's help. A large book appears in front of the Gargoyle and slams at it without wasting any time. (ooc: casting Spiritual Weapon as bonus action)
Book Attack: 17 ; 12 Force Damage

When falling, Gertrude prepares herself for the impact and manages to land on top of the Gargoyle [OOC: stone's endurance: reduce falling damage by 8 - rolled in discord, with resistance Gertrude only takes 2 damage from the fall]

Seeing the book appear, Gertrude lets her rage rise again: 4 (DEX DC 14, half damage on success)

Then she swings her greataxe at the gargoyle:

16 for damage 9 + 2 crimson rite damage
11 for damage 11 + 4 crimson rite damage

Gargoyle saves: WIS 5, DEX 16, DEX 11

Dragonbait starts rushing down the stairs...

Round 3

• Gertrude (65/75, bless, Rage 8, prone, grappled)
• Oniss (41/41)
• Kurma (45/45, bless 8)
• Irommek (56/65)
• Felix (44/52, bless)

• Inete (80/80, 1(3/4) 2(3/3) 3(2/3))
• Gargoyle (138, prone, grappled)
• Artus (85/85)

Brunella pivots, and using her arm to maintain a lock on the gargoyle's neck, she climbs on top of it. Using her knees and an elbow to keep it pinned to the floor, she brings the flaming longsword down deep into the stone creature's chest, twisting it deep inside.

movement: stand up
attack:

Oniss follow holds an action in case anything else comes for those running down the stairs. 

His eyes follow the party members dashing to the fallen and readies Chill Touch if any unknowns appear and engage comrades. 

Inete casts a minor spell, which makes Artus' scimitar shed with light.

The Gargoyle seems frustrated and does the only thing which makes some sense in its elemental mind: it tries to push both Gertrude and Brunella down the shaft!
