Ionna's Dexterity Save: 10
Consumed by the sight of the frozen heart in her grasp, the girl barely reacts to Red's fire. Caught in the midst of the bonfire and badly burned, Ionna cries in pain and drops the heart, which clinks against the frozen floor. The fake Warduke at her side takes advantage of that and swiftly crouches to claim the heart, rising back triumphantly with a wicked grin over his face as he presses the heart against himself and the object cracks and begins to be absorbed. Emial starts levitating a few inches from the ground as the heart shines brighter and the room's temperature drops further. A thick rime forms over the man's chest as twirled horns grow out of the sides of his skull, mirroing the despicable visage of the owl carving behind him. A powerful sorcelled malevolence now emanates from him, making him look even more cruel than his wicked old self.
Gaoch follows his partner's example and climbs atop the top bunk bed to the south to get a better view of the tall woman, throwing his dagger at her.

The blow could be reckless but it hit badly, Mihris's armor immediately became red with blood. The next shot from the priestess was more of a muscle spasm:
Attack: 5 Damage: 5
(Second attack roll for advantage 6 )
Hand, covered in blood, could not handle the delicate mechanism of a crossbow.

Vanys sorely wants to get past this raging fool and address the actual issue, which seems to be the heart that the fake Emial is absorbing. However, most of his attacks would be too weak to have any effect if he tried them with the woman in his face. So he hisses in frustration before lunging towards her with both of his blades. "Get out of my way!" He growls to her as he strikes.
Move: None (If Vanys can get around to the other side of the woman and into the doorway, he will do so. He would have to shimmy around her, so I don't know if it's possible.)
The wolf pelt woman brings about her axe on an overhead swing to strike at the reaching Mialee as she carelessly opens her defense when retreating.

And taking a look to her side after overextending her reach somewhat, she cries in pain at Vanys' successful stab and answers by coming bashing at him with the handle of her weapon, "Can't pass through me, southerner!?"
Berserker's Shove: 4
Moving to the side to avoid Red's bonfire, Ionna's face contorts in rage as she witness Emial bask in the destiny she felt she deserved. As she spends her time spitting curses at the fake Warduke, Gerard approaches her and pleads, "Ionna, snap out of it! We need to do something to get out of here alive!" still unsure of what to do, looking over his shoulder to avoid any incoming fire.
Gerard Dodges. Ionna is too consumed by rage to do anything this turn.
Mathis continues to assail the barbarian woman from the top of the bunk bed by throwing daggers.
Mathis' Attack: 15 / 9
The daggers flies with precision and lobs itself right into the side of the woman's neck, maybe with more lethality than the scout had intended — attested by his shocked gasp. The tall woman first falls to one knee, leaning onto her axe as she grasps the bleeding wound, but eventually weakens and falls to the floor.

The spiked tendrils from Red's metal rod extend towards Emial, though they tie themselves only against shards of the ice sheet that cover his chest, failing to do any damage. As a freezing wind swirls around him, the fake Warduke's eyes glow in cold blue light as he grins wickedly in a visage barely humanoid. His hands rise at his sides, ushering the winds further as he floats a few inches from the floor, "We bow to She who wears the crown; Let the world shiver with dread. Clad in winter's whitest gown, Her snow enshrouds the dead." the Warduke advances towards the door and one of his hands shoots forward as one sharp sickle of ice coalesces in the air over your room.

Vanys manages to avoid being pushed to the ground by the angry berserker woman and shouts over to Gerard and Ionna. "Unless you want that fool Warduke to have control over that heart and yourselves, you would be wise to ensure that he doesn't kill us. Otherwise, you will be next." Vanys attempts to persuade them that perhaps siding with them and against the Fake Warduke would not be unwise. He then easily sidesteps the spiritual weapon that was summoned by Emial and snarls up at the hovering human. "You will have to try much harder than that to kill me." The half-elf stows one of his blades in his belt and steps out to face the fake war duke. Pulling a small twig from his component pouch, the sorcerer mutters an incantation, and a crackling beam of electricity bursts from his hands and towards the icy war duke. If the attack hits, Vanys taunts again, "Shocking, isn't it." He then steps back behind the wall next to the doorway so that he is still in sight of Emial, but only barely (looking for 3/4 cover but not full cover).
(NOTE: The skill checks may not have an effect given that they aren't part of an action, but the goal of the first is to persuade Ionna and Gerard to attack Emial, and the goal of the second is to draw aggro away from the injured party members and onto himself.)

Mia's shield was made from carefully weaved dried ivy. It's very light, yet tough enough to withstand the great axe. But the wood elf's weight and small figure can't completely absorb the heavy blow. Mia's body flies backward 10 feet and lands on her back. The impact knocks all air out from her lungs. Mia's left arm is numb and little stars are flying around her head. But apart from that, she is almost unscratched. "Ha! Is that all you got? You can't even kill a mouse!" Mia jumps to her feet. She points her scimitar and… "Oops!" Finds the transforming Emial. Dropping her scimitar, Mia grasps magic infused stone and throws it at what used to be fake warduke. "Fire! I mean, real fire! Does anyone have alchemic fire or something!"

Gerard turns to listen Vanys' shouts across the room, and though his look is concerned, he nods and turns back to his beloved, "See, 'onna? We need to get out of this alive, this isn't what you want for yourself!" which the girl barely acknowledges, but gives a single nod as she grimaces in rage staring at the fake Warduke. Seemingly she barely needed any incentives to act against Emial, and she grasps her blade until her knuckles are whitened as she advances behind him foaming at the corner of her mouth.

The floating Emial is pushed slightly back by the strength of the spell, but shrugs it off despite now showing some scorched marks along his skin.

Mialee stumbles back to her feet behind the crowd, quickly enchanting pebbles with the strength of nature she wields. Despite being barely able to see beyond her allies, the small elf jumps and takes a shot at the floating adversary. It seems hovering a few inches from the ground turned out to the advantage of the druid, the stone she threw hits the fake Warduke squarely on the chest, taking from him a few more shards of ice and a wince of pain.
