"Whoa!" Gorm calls out at Guardian swings and hits the brain that he was holding in his hands.  Gorm instinctively releases the grapple he had on it and chases after the nightmare that left the room.

((I had actually thought it was the brain trying to escape earlier... But yeah, Gorm will give chase to whatever fled...))

(the mindflayer left the room, the brain was in your hands and trying to attack you. So you want to chase the mindflayer (the nightmare)?) 

(Yep, dropping the brain, chasing the other thing)

Gorm sprints out of the room through the double doors (q11). There you see the tentacle'd creature holding a stone in front of a stone pillar. The creature's eyes begin to glow purple. 

Brain (19), Vi (17), Nightmare (14), Gorm (11), Guardian (10), Jeremiah (6), Half-Orc (5)

‘Dammit! Does Gorm have a death wish?!’ exclaims Jeremiah, before pointing at the brain again.

’Cessation!’ he shouts, in that dull, echoing tone... (DC13 WIS ST or take 10 necrotic damage)

((No!  Just don't want any going to get reinforcements! Gorm would call back if he heard that!))

Violet's body has crashed senseless to the floor.  The half-orc's fire bolt took her down.

(Vi make me a death save, just roll a d20, 10 or higher and you gain 1 success, below is a fail.)

(Gorm can definitely call back. 

The half-orc laughs as Vi drops to the ground, "No I can make up for my failure to find Renear" He throws another bolt of flame at Guardian Attack: 4 Damage: 5

Brain save: 18

The brain shakes off the spell. It turns towards Jeremiah again and it's mind tendrils reach out, make an intelligence saving throw. 

Brain (19), Vi (17) (unconscious), Nightmare (14), Gorm (11), Guardian (10), Jeremiah (6), Half-Orc (5)

Guardian blocks the bolt with his shield and moves into melee with the half-orc.  "Not if I have something to say about it."  He swings his axe, giving him a strong hit.

Attack: 23 Damage: 11

Guardian's axe swings down in a mighty arc that you swear should have severed the half-orc's head. The wizard looks up at you in surprise and pain as he grunts, "It'll take more than that to kill me you machine!" 

     If Gorm has caught up to the nightmare enough to enter melee, he attacks - Short sword attack followed up by a spinning kick to the things closest approximation to a head.  If he cannot get in melee range, he's still running and dashing after it to try to.

Short Sword Attack: 16 Damage: 5

Unarmed Bonus Attack: 12 Damage: 7

Jeremiah Int ST: 25

‘Get back here Gorm! Vi is down...’ shouts Jeremiah. He sees the half orc injured, and turns his attention there quickly..

’Die!’ he intones (DC13 WIS ST or take 2 necrotic damage)

Gorm misses both attacks as the mindflayer turns towards him and reaches out it's tentacles.

Half-Orc save: 9

The half-orc laughs, "Grum'shar doesn't care what you say human!" 

Brain (19), Vi (17) (unconscious, 1 fail), Nightmare (14), Gorm (11), Guardian (10), Jeremiah (6), Half-Orc (5)

Grum'shar sends another bolt towards Guardian as he tries to get away from the giant axe, Attack: 15 Damage: 10

The brain begins to rush towards Gorm (dashing with it's action) 

The mindflayer reaches out with psionic energy towards Gorm and you hear in your mind, "Leave me you insolent worm. Go fight your comrades." Make a wisdom saving throw.

Guardian blocks another bolt and swings his axe at the half-orc again.  "You'll care what my axe says."

Attack: 24 Damage: 6

Gorm Wisdom Saving throw: 11

(I shoulda killed the brain when I had it I guess.)

Ruh-roh

Vi would chuckle if she wasn't unconscious... lost track of init, I'll just make my next death save, fingers crossed...

REally???

Gorm, your vision goes dark. Everyone else, you see Gorm turn towards you and take a fighting stance. 

Guardian meanwhile cuts down Grum'shar. 

Brain (19), Vi (17) (unconscious, 2 fail), Nightmare (14), Gorm (11)(Domintated), Guardian (10), Jeremiah (6), Half-Orc (5)

Gorm dashes out of the double doors and towards Guardian. Behind him, Guardian and Jeremiah, you see the mindflayer open a portal in the far side of the room and disappear.
