Constitution Saving Throw against the Poison Smoke: 12
Onyx focuses on the void in the wall, the rats swarming Talion. Pale green mist begins to pour out of his gauntlets once more.
"Push through and get clear, Talion!"
(Ready Action: Cast Poison Spray at the Swarm once it no longer shares a square with Talion. When and if it triggers, the swarm must make a DC 14 Constitution Saving throw or take 8 poison damage.)
"Yet more vermin to deal with! Kindly move aside you flea ridden cretins!" Bertolt yells out as he puts his bardic magic into the cantrip.
Viscious Mockery (Bertolt's Eldrirch Blast) Needs to make a DC 14 wis save or take 4 damage.
Rat swarm WIS save - 6. ...6... The rat swarm fails and has disadvantage on next attack! The rat swarmwill use its turn to bite at Talion's face and hands - Attack:13Damage:10.
Erven whistles For Lucky Bear to move to H3 beside him and indicates that he should bite the rats on Talion, should be something that his doggy desires should want to do anyway.

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
Sho grimaces at torched Talion. He moves closer to examine how badly scalded the warlock is, then he sighs then moves back again out to G1. "Move off, Talion." He says thickly, sparks skittering off his hand like fire off a newly beaten sword.
Talion's self-satisfied expression rapidly shifts to confusion and then to horror as the rats start crawling over his body, their sharp yellow teeth seeking his flesh. He had expected something like it, but the disgusting reality of it -- and the memories that the rats unexpectedly awaken -- threatens to overcome him. Memories from years lived in the sewers: Crystal clear images of the half-eaten faces of barely-recognizable friends, and of slow, sated rats waddling away. Their beady eyes watching him as if to say, You're next! As the memories overwhelm him, the pain from Sho's holy fire playing over his exposed flesh brings him back to the present. You are almost out, you fool, focus!
He sees his companions waiting to act, hears Sho's and Onyx's voice and, knowing how difficult it can be to attack a swarm of rats when they are on an ally, he frantically brushes them off his body, hurling them to the floor then runs to the southwest corner of the next room.
Gasping in the relatively clean air, and shuddering as the last vestiges of the memories fade, he calls out to his companions, "Come through! Get out of the smoke!"
Action: Disengage Move: To far SW corner of next room (I1/H1?) Not through blades
Erven (from CON save) You inhale some of the coloured gas....and it seems to taste like apples - just like you remember growing up in the forest. You can't help but close your eyes as the smell and taste overwhelm your senses. You begin to chew - and it feels just like real apples from when you were little.........then it actually becomes a bit chewy and oddly rubbery....you spit a piece onto one of your palms....you begin to retch and vomit as you see what's in your palm: two or three small, Elven ears - pointed at the tip, teeth marks like footsteps in the snow. You take 1 psychic damage.
Sho Dex save for swarm - 14 ....14...... The swarm manages to elude the divine energy falling from above!
Talion You make your move as outlined, disengaging just as Sho is calling fire down from above. You feel the wind as the scythes whirl before you but luckily, no gases here to speak of!
Lucky Bear She listens to Erven this time as she runs to the ranger. On her way by, she'll attack the rats: Attack:22Damage:7. She runs off to wait at H2, looking a bit anxiously at the blades in front of her...
*It's worth noting that no one else can currently enter the little antechamber that the four of you are currently in...in addition, some of the timbers overhead are splitting and raining down dust and debris from above. The house seems like it's twisting on its foundations...you all think you hear screams from above but you're not sure with all this other noise about you!
Erven turns to Lucky Bear, says "Now you are going to go on a little ride through these blades, ok? I'm going to give you to Mister Talion, he's going to hold you and then Mister Bert is going to put you in his bag and you'll go through, ok? Just hold your breath for a few seconds, ok Lucky Bear?"
Animal handling : 20
Erven picks up his rapier, then looks to Talion, locks eyes for a second, the sound of whirring blades by his ear, the taste of foul apples in his mouth. "I trust you. Watch after Lucky Bear. Put him in Bert's pouch to get through. I'll meet you on the other side." Erven ruffles the fur on Lucky's head, studies the blades for a second... and then dodges, diving through through the blades to the door.
Bertolt As you breath in the gas, you notice it tastes like apples, specifically, apple pie that you remember the scholars at Candlekeep making from time to time. It is delicious! Warm! The texture is inviting with a faint trace of cinnamon! As you take another bite and swallow, you feel some discomfort as you feel like you're swallowing your tongue! In fact, it's your own tongue that is trying to escape down your gullet, choking you! You cough and heave, pieces of squirming, maggoty, slush falling out of your mouth! Your tongue changes direction, going out of your mouth - it's grown to a length of 1, 2, even 3 feet! It curls around to look at you, turning into a flute before a dark laughter from above breaks you free from the vision....
***The attack from Lucky Bear and Onyx have nearly decimated this creature, FYI. It is looking really bad and only has a couple rats running around, hardly a swarm!
Onyx does his best to fight off the mysterious miasma. Seeing the pests suffer under his toxic onslaught, Onyx continues to pour his magic at the swarm.
Another poison spray, DC 14 Constitution Saving Throw versus 10 poison damage.
"You're next, Bertholt! Get them to move along!"
He also moves to G5, preparing to dash after the others when he has the chance.
Bertolt shakes his head and pulls the cloth tighter over his face, continuing to follow after the others, moving to keep out of range of the swarm if it is possible.
Sho looks at the dog, then looks at Talion, then looks at the spinning blades, and finally rests his gaze on Talion again. His lips slightly open like he wanted to say something, but he opts to turn away and shout at the oblivious elf on the other side, raising his gravelly voice over the unharmonious mechanical rattling of the metal scythes.
Erven shouts through the whirring blades, looking back at the front door, “Do you want me to go ahead and get out the front door? So you will have a place to land?” (He does still have movement, can he go all the way through?). “Be careful! Lucky Bear do what Mister Talion says, ok?”

Erven, you quickly kneel down beside Lucky, and you are able to keep your nervous energy from latching into the canine. She sits, she’s such a good dog. Taking a deep breathe, you tumble through the blades successfully and up in front of the last set of scythe blades where the main entrance is....yes, you can continue your movement outside if you want...roll another dex check
Onyx - Con save for rats - 13 ........the last of the rat swarm succumbs to Onyx's poison spray - the swarm is dead!
Bertolt, you're up! Erven, you can make another dex roll to get past the last set of blades!
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Erven hears the go ahead from Sho and wants to clear the space so that no one bounces back into the blades. He does a forward roll to get through the front door and exit this hell house, he hopes.

Thanks Sho. You all need to make a CON saving through on every turn you remain in the cloud of smoke.
If you haven’t made One yet please do! I think only Onyx has in round 2. So Erv, please make one.

Erven Con Save : 9
If Erven was being affected by poison, he would back up to G2, regardless of risk of AoO, drop his rapier and take out his whip.
Likewise, he would direct Lucky Bear to H2 if he is being actively poisoned.

"You're next, Bertholt! Get them to move along!"
He also moves to G5, preparing to dash after the others when he has the chance.
Another medical problem. Indefinite hiatus. Sorry, all.
Bertolt shakes his head and pulls the cloth tighter over his face, continuing to follow after the others, moving to keep out of range of the swarm if it is possible.
Talion reluctantly accepts the dog with a somewhat bemused expression, then examines the blades more closely.
(( Can he see a way that he might be able to disable them? ))
(( Edited for typo and to add the word reluctantly ))
Sho looks at the dog, then looks at Talion, then looks at the spinning blades, and finally rests his gaze on Talion again.
