Into the Mists-The Condemnation of Strahd

“Wizard stuff?...”, asks Gillian to Gimble. “Ungh!.... Do you want to look after all that? ...until we can sort through everything we’ve found? .. uh”. She holds her ribs and settles down to rest right there.

Ban will follow inside and look around to find the least dusty place to sit down while the group recovers. She'll brush the mustiness aside and take a seat and chat during the hour.  Ban inquires, "So, where do we call home? What about pastimes or professions?"

Should Gimble be unable to pop the chest's lock, Ban will offer her special skills. The eladrin reaches behind her head and retrieves her favourite two lockpicks she uses as bobby pins in a futile attempt to keep her hair in place. Twirling them between her fingers, she puts a hand on Gimble's shoulder. With a bright smile, she confidently states, "Why not let a girl give it a try? These 'ol tools of mine never fail me."

[Tooltip Not Found]: 24

Gimble:

Smiling at Ban, Gimble says, "The chest was unlocked and, thankfully, not trapped.  You are more than welcome to use your special skills on that small coffer inside.  I'm going to set up some magic rituals while we rest, so just pull out items after you have cleared possible locks and traps and put them in the middle of this geodesic sketch I am making."

Gimble ritually casts detect magic and scans all the items found in the chest or in the mimic--or indeed any other items found by others in the room.  Any that show magic, he will enact the identify ritual to discover their properties, pulling out a pearl on a silver chain that has remained very well-hidden before now.

Gillain shuffles over to Gimble and rummages in her pack for a few things, “I found this in a closet in the house upstairs”. She pulls out a long maroon cloak and passes it to him. “I’ve also got these...”. She pulls out everything she’s been taking care of for the party...

Party-loot, held by Gillain...

The eladrin does a lazy salute in cheery fashion and proceeds to do just so. With what she finds, she will do as instructed with care and interest in the whole process. 

DM: Ok, with the actions described I am assuming Gimble takes the items from the chest so he can cast the spell (this point is specific for the next reaction).

As Gimble removes a couple of the items from the chest, the 3 in the room start to hear what sounds like dirt falling away from both the east and west wall of the room. The 3 of you look up to see a space on both walls crumble away and a humanoid figure springs out from each. 
-One is dressed in a tattered shirt and pants.
-The other is dressed in a tattered black dress.
Coming from the holes the creatures were in comes a noxtious gas cloud that almost immediately envelopes the room. Everyone in the room make a Constitution save DC 10.

The creatures hiss and say in dark whispery voices "Don't touch the Master's things!"

Initiative Please

Ghast 7

DM: My bad on the roll warning. Was originally a 21 but, due to my error, I will keep the Ghast initiative as the above roll.

Gimble:

Just settling in to cast the detect magic ritual, Gimble is startled by the walls starting to crumble, getting to his feet quickly and looking for the source of the noise!

Initiative:  21

Constitution Save:  14

Ban recoils, jumping up and covering her mouth with her hand. "Ew, gross!"

Initiative: 19

Con save: 7

 The smell of rot and decomposition is overwhelming to Ban. Poisoned

Gillain’s initiative: 5 

CON save (DC10): 17 

Gillain is caught unprepared. She struggles to get herself into action. But as the noxious gas starts to surround her she holds her arm over her face and tries to hold her breath. Her hearty constitution holds off the worst of the fume’s effects.

She calls out to the other room, “Some help in here! There’s something here!!...”.

Bob follows along once he's had his rest, his waddling walk turning into a hobbling sprint as he hears Gillain's cries.

(Roll initiative as well?)

everyone post their actions for round 1, please.

Gimble:

Reacting quickly, Gimble is already backing out of the room as the ghasts erupt from the walls.  Once at the door, he angles his hands such that the flames flowing from his fingers washes over both undead but miraculously flows around his ally in the path!

Burning Hands with Sculpt Spells: 9 Fire

(Dc 13 Dexterity for half damage)

Gimble then continues the rest of the way out of the room to make space for his more martially inclined companions.

Bob quavers in fear at yet another ghastly sight pulled right from his nightmares. That is until bright and flaming energy zooms past him to strike the ghast. "Right! Fire!" He balls up his fist and throws a handful of flame at the creature.

Produce Flame: 15 Damage: 1

If he can he'll stay 30 feet away from the ghast and out of the miasma of decay.

Ban marvels at the control over the arcane, but she coughs, refocuses, and pulls a dagger from her belt. She moves to attack the female ghast, reaches out in a wide arced swipe of the blade, and uses a bonus action to Disengage. Following the momentum of the upward swipe, she tumbles backward and retreats towards the edge of the room. 

Attack: 7 Damage: 7
