"Yeah, but we probably shouldn't just leave him here, he's Floon's friend. If you were bringing people to rescue me, I wouldn't like it if they just left you behind."

Lyss doesn't trust the threatening guy more than she could throw him, but gives Renaer a look as she tries to figure out if he's telling the truth about not knowing anything about the stone. Insight: 16

"Nope, that'd be not fun! Okay, so we give them a stone and then we get Floon and then we go!"

Lyss, you get the feeling that Renaer has been pretty open and honest with you since you met him.

"We don't have the stone, and he doesn't know anything about it, but there's some other folks after it? Maybe we can help find it, and you let us take both of the fancy lads?"

Kerri frowns, "She is not joining anything," she counters, "and Renear and Floon are both leaving with us. One way or another." Her eyes start to glow as she says that. "Whatever parlor tricks you think you can use are nothing compared to the gifts bestowed onto me by the goddess of magic herself."

Ooc - Kerri, could you make an intimidation check pls? p.s. that was badass

Intimidation: 10

Lyss nods enthusiastically as Kerri tells them how it's gonna be.

Aimee squeals a little in joy at Kerri's awesomeness.

Grum’Shar turns to the tentacled figure as it rises from its stone throne. “No..... I’m not scared of these weaklings. Watch as I destroy them!” 

The figure ignores the half-orcs pleas as it steps down from the platform, disinterested. The brainlike creature scuttles by its feet.

Grum’Shar fixes his eyes on Kerri, charging towards her, his fist ablaze. “You’ll burn for this, nobody speaks like that to the great Grum’Shar!’

(Initiative and first round actions please)

Initiative: 8

Aimee blasts the girls goblin!

Blasting:13

Damage:2

Initiative: 19

Lyss drops back if she is able, and looses an arrow into the half-orc as it gets up on Kerri.

Attack: 20 Damage: 12

((A bit fiddly with timing, but if she goes before the half-orc arrives, hold action to attack as soon as she'd get sneak attack damage on it. If it closes within melee with Lyss before she gets a chance to go, she'll pull a dagger and attack with that instead, in which case I'd need to reroll her weapon damage.))

Goblin 13

Grum’Shar 9

Tentacled Man 7

Brain bug 6

Renaer 24

How far back did you want to step from the rest of the group? It’s still dark but I will assume Kerri has her dancing lights still.

((Just looking to be able to use the bow at range. Likely switching to daggers after this. ))

Initative: 19

Casting Bless on Lyss, Aimee, and Sparks if he's still here? If not Renaer

Initiative: 14

(I’m still here!  Just been a bit inactive, sorry about that.)

Round 1

Order

• Kerri
• Lyss (Bless)
• Renaer
• Tentacled man
• Spark (Bless)
• Grum’Shar (Severely Injured)
• Brain bug
• Goblin (Severely Injured)
• Aimee (Bless)

Renaer leaps forward into action, drawing his Rapier. He dances around Grum’shar with his blade, putting himself on the opposite side of him, between the half-orc and Floon. “You’ve lost your advantage.” he boasts. As Grum’shar turns his head towards Renaer, Lyss’s arrow bursts through his neck - blood spraying over the lord. Taking the opportunity, Renaer picks up Floon and carries him to the left hand side, propping him up against a wall, checking on his wounds.

Meanwhile, as Kerri’s prayers bolster the group, her dancing lights fade away. At the back of the dim torchlit room, you see the tentacled figure slowly and calmly walk towards a set of double doors on the right hand wall.

As Spark readies himself for action, he can see that the goblin is suffering from a knife wound, Grum’shar looks very badly injured by the arrow through his neck but is somehow still standing. Renaer and Floon are a little further into the room on the left and the mysterious tentacled being is on the right. He can hear a scuttling get louder as it approaches.

(Things to post before round 2 - Sparks action, Aimees guidance roll)

Aimee bless to attack: 4

((Total to attack of 17))

Spark sputters somehow confusedly, then shrugs and jabs his shock glove at the big orc.

Attack: 10 Damage: 5 (adv if metal armor: 22)

Forgot bless: 4

As spark reaches forward with his glove, the half-orc raises his left hand, and an invisible barrier stops Spark in his tracks. With his right hand still ablaze, Grum’Shar feints a punch at Spark but at the last second his hand opens out and a thin cone of flames envelopes you. (Spark, Aimee and Kerri please make a DEX save for 13 fire damage, half on succesful save)

At the same time, the brainlike creature scuttles over to Renaer, clawing at him Attack: 20 Damage: 7 slashing damage. 
Renaer clutches at his head and screams, Int save - 11 or 10 psychic damage (13)

The Goblin, looking slightly shocked that battle has broken out, is in a panic. They fire an arrow at spark as he approaches Grum’Shar before scurrying towards the back of the room....
