<about these hp max restores I'm seeing in the thread: "Once a character is freed from the ceremony and out of combat, their hit point maximum is restored at a rate of 1 hit point per round." (Emphasis mine)> 

 

(@Wile_E_Coyote, the first round doesn't contain any combat actions, do you consider it as an out of combat round? Gravity's maximum HP will be reduced to 36, but she has temporary hitpoints.)

 Technically Phenex uses a bonus action every round to maintain a spell that takes away hp.  I'd call that a combat action.

Sam struggled to resist joining the chant as it resumes among the humanoids remaining conscious in the chapel.

The girralons seeing Sam enter the room abandon their attacks against the invisible Ana, and assail the lizardman.

Chapel. Gold half dragon struggles through the mild pain but cannot resist retaliation and lashes out at Gravity with steel.

The incubus unhooks the chandelier, causing it to crash to the floor.  It narrowly misses several chanting tieflings, but does not interrupt their recitation. The room is now dimly lit by wall sconces and lit by the wall of radiant fire (how far, if at all does that extend Tesservett?)

The incubus flues to the northwest corner of the room and once again attempts to hide.

Sam and Ana can make checks to see him from where they are, I think anyone else would have to reposition. Remember I'd relying on darvision and you're in dim light range it's with disadvantage.

Tetrevess hears a voice in her mind, it's smooth and seductive (it's canonical gender fluid, but Phebex was most recently and currently in the male incubus form, I'm not sure that this would come across in telepathy.  Regardless, Tetrevess would infer that it is Phenex).  The words it conveys are suggestive of an idea that might have been the wizard’s own. "Come now, wizard.  You know you've a mire useful spell up your sleeve."

<Persuasion x Tetrevess in an attempt to inception breaking concentration on the wall spell in favor if a different spell.>

(Tetrevess can convey that she saw him there.)

Chandelier zone (gray circle) is now difficult terrain

Gravity's Reaction: Gravity casts Shield on herself as a reaction to the first longsword attack, and the barrier protects her from the second longsword and first shortsword attack.

(Hate going so late in the initiative- the incubus had set himself up for a nice fireball in the ceiling also hitting the gorillans:  I would imagine the wall would shed bright light in 20’, less beyond that) 

tetrevess yells out- “ the incubus in the northwest corner is the leader- focus on him!”   As he can’t attack him without killing innocents he will again try to take out the gorillans with a fireball from above. Another radiant 4th level fireball… 

29    Radiant DC 19 dex for half.

Tetrevess doesn’t drop the wall spell- just because he was asked to.  

(Gravity's Turn: Round 4)

Gravity will toss her Feather Token(Bird) upwards so that it floats over the head of the half-dragon briefly, then the token disappears and an enormous, multicolored Axe Beak (roc) takes it place. The bird will occupy the space of the Paladin while trying to squish him under its weight, thus blocking the entrance to the alcove.

Ana steps away from the giant apes, more for space than anything else, then turns her attention once more to the demon. She raised her pact weapon and shot two arrows at it.

((Attacks at advantage: 

A1: Attack: 24 Damage: 9  Elven Accuracy 3rd roll: 27

A2: Attack: 19 Damage: 9  Elven Accuracy 3rd roll: 19 ))

The ball of scorching plasma burns the girallons from overhead.

Both scream as they crumble to the floor.

<InkedBee: I want to rule in favor of the roc working.  I think it should be possible, however, the spell specifies "you throw the token 5ft in the air". Fall damage would be calculated based on the height it fell, which is effectively zero if it's less than 10ft.  I'll also mention for reference that a half-dragon is between 5 and 7ft tall, this one is in the middle so 6ft.   The ceiling we said was maybe just over 20ft.  If you can elaborate to make this work, I'll resolve it I'm game.>

As the girralon are down, Do you want to target these attacks at the incubus or the half-dragon?  You can also take a different action

Hi I was shooting the incubus, sorry for not being clear.

(@Wile_E_Coyote, Thanks! She did throw the feather upwards (5 ft), but the bird will occupy approximately 20 ft space in each dimension or more, so physically its leaving no space for fall damage. But it's possible for Pentival to move away from the occupied place before the transformation process. I hope that the explanation is enough for you to resolve the issue.)

<You were fine. I was just distracted with 'work' lol.  I actually messed up a bit in my description.  When I said he attempts to hide I meant he was using the hide action.  He wouldn't just sit there.  He's super duper squishy.  I hate to do it this way,  bit would yoi mind making the DC17 perception check to spot him? Those attacks definitely hit if you csn see him.  Again, sorry for the confusion - it's 100% on me.>

The gargantuan bird fills a huge area if rhe room, its feathers catching the edge of the radiant wall, the bird begins to freak out.  The half dragon, finding itself between the legs of the enormous bird grabs on to the bird's tail and attempts to climb atop it (see, 2 size categories.  If the girallons weren't dead, they'd be way better at this).

<this action takes place on Pentival's initiative, I'm just rolling the descriptions together.  Can Retcon as needed)

You're the DM so you could decide otherwise but in general Hiding in plain sight is not allowed by the rules. From PHB: "You can't hide from a creature that can see you clearly, and you give away your position if you make noise, such as shouting a warning or knocking over a vase. An invisible creature can always try to hide. Signs of its passage might still be noticed, and it does have to stay quiet." Ana has Darkvision so she can see in dim light as if it were bright light and there's nothing there for him to hide behind.

Still, Perception check: 9 

From atop the bird, the half-dragon attempts to calm the frightened creature.  The bird manages to find its bearings as it removes itself from the area of the column of radiance, but it's still agitated and looking for a way out of the subterranean space.

If she can't attack the incubus she will take the Hide action herself. Stealth at advantage: 24
