a23 surprises Sephek by charging into him and grappling. The robot holds onto him tightly!
Errona is easily able to land her mark on the immobilized target for 15 damage.
Lumen revives Roc, leaving him at 7 hp. He then commands his spiritual weapon to strike at Sephek for 10 damage!
Sephek looks panicked for a moment, before smirking. The blue aura glows around him once more (+5 hp), just before he misty steps to Lumen and strikes with his sword!
Attack: 16 Damage: 9
However, he misses.
Sephek has escaped a23's grasp, but has taken 20 damage this round for a total of 42 damage!
With Roc alive again, Errona sighs as she realizes her peaceful future just got postponed.... Again... Before she steadies herself and with steady aim fires another arrow.
a23 seems slightly puzzled as sephek dissipates and reappears out of reach. steam spews from his exhaust ports to keep internal mechanisms from overheating!(rage)
*bzzzt*wizzzt*shink* metallic claws extend from his mechanical fist before charging the target.

Lumen looks shamefully at the man that appears next to him and strikes, blocking the blow with his shield.
" I care not what your mistress says, this was a matter of law to deal with. You shall pay for your crimes."
His spiritual morningstar comes up behind the man, striking at him again.
Attack: 25 Damage: 7 Force Damage
As the Morningstar swings, Lumen clutches his amulet and his entire form begins to glow brightly before rushing away from him in a wall of brilliant light as he channels divinity.
As an action, you can use Channel Divinity and present your holy symbol to dispel any magical darkness within 30 ft. Each hostile creature (that doesn't have total cover) within 30 ft. must make a CON saving throw (DC 13) or take 2d10 +3 radiant damage (half damage on success).
DC 13 Con.
9 radiant damage
if attacked again he will use his reaction to make a warding flare to give disadvantage.
a23 lashes at Sephek from behind like a beast machine, dealing 20 damage. Errona steadily aims her bow, landing a shot into him for 12 damage. Roc catches his breath after coming back to life. Lumen's spiritual mace slams into Sephek for 7 damage, and his Radiance of the Dawn shines for 6 damage.
Sephek takes 45 damage this round, for a total of 87 damage. He falls to his knees.
"You...dare defy the Frostmaiden!?" he says with a gasp. "This vessel...can no longer move...USELESS!" the man shouts, his voice becoming ghastly. "Be warned. Auril will punish you for your deeds..."
A winter spirit is seen evaporating from Sephek's body, just before it falls to the ground face first.
Combat has ended. Please award yourselves with 500 xp.
Errona watches the scene unfold in front of her and lets out a sigh. She exclaims "Well that was exciting. I thought you were down for the count there Roc. Anyone want to volunteer to go poke it to make sure there isn't anything else in there?"

a23 turns Sephek's body over, revealing a ghastly expression. Disturbingly, the body looks as if it has been lifeless for much longer than only a few moments. Parts of its skin have decayed, revealing cartilage and bone. a23 continues to shuffle through the man's outfit, which is void of weaponry. He eventually finds in his pocket a map of the Ten-Towns area with what looks like a work schedule.

Lumen looks about for any other disturbances then sighs.
" It seems he was simply a shell of a man possessed by one of Auril's winter spirits after all. This is troubling. It is her way to scare people into obedience. It is really the only way within her power to retain worshipers. but her hold in these lands is strong. I will have to think on what to do with this knowledge."
He looks around at his companions before going over to Roc to look him over and use healing hands to restore another 2 hit points to him. He then helps to hold the man up.
" My apologies. It was not my intention for us to go dancing with death tonight, but I think we might feel better after a good rest. Come, I will cover our tab on any meals or drinks."
He looks once more at the corpse.
" Perhaps we should take some sort of proof to present to Hiln?"
Lumen will approach the body and make sure it is a corpse.
Medicine: 11
If it is, he will examine it for something to take as proof.
"I'll remember that when it comes your time..." Errona giggles. She then says "Let us head back to the inn and get some sleep. Tomorrow we can see if this town offers anything more interesting before we head back to Hlin."
Lumen examines Sephek's body and his knowledge of medicine confirms that it is months old.
a23 reenters the cabin to gather his loot of clothing and tool before rejoining his new friends.
Roc picks up his trophy, before following the party back to the inn. No one is there to greet them upon their return.
In their quarters, there are three beds with standard sheets lining them and one sofa large enough for an average-sized humanoid to rest on. A candle-lit lamp rests on a nightstand, providing just enough light to see without excessive strain.
“my kind will never experience the refreshing bliss of a long nights sleep. allow me to keep watch while you rest”
a23 walks to the center of the room and crouches as his legs fold into his chest. the low hum of pistons and gears come to a halt as the illuminating blue crystal set eyes dim into darkness.
Lumen quickly utters a Healing Word to Roc to bring him back from the brink.
7 healing
He then takes another swing with the spiritual weapon from where he is standing.
Attack: 21 Damage: 10 Force Damage
a23 bursts out the door ready for combat!
*Scanning*Scanning*Scanning...*HOSTILE LOCATED*

Roc groans.
"Those ice weapons really cut deep. Ouch."
Roc walks up to the body and removes his scimitar.
"Proof. Let us take it."
Roc will chop off the zombies head.
Errona smiles and says "Can we put it over the mantle at the house, Roc?"
Roc picks up the head and look into its eyes.
"As long as we boil it down to just a skull first. I don't want skin slowly dripping onto the floor. That would be savage."
"I'll remember that when it comes your time..." Errona giggles. She then says "Let us head back to the inn and get some sleep. Tomorrow we can see if this town offers anything more interesting before we head back to Hlin."

Roc stretches out on the couch and places the Sephek chest next to him.
"Sephek and I will take the couch this time... Actually..."
Roc scratches his head.
"A23 do you sleep?"
“my kind will never experience the refreshing bliss of a long nights sleep. allow me to keep watch while you rest”
a23 walks to the center of the room and crouches as his legs fold into his chest. the low hum of pistons and gears come to a halt as the illuminating blue crystal set eyes dim into darkness.
*energy mode activated*
Roc smiles and looks around.
"Well I feel safer already. And there is just something about that hum that is soothing."
