Ivar sees his opening and will take a shot at the mistress draws, inhale, aim, exhale, release

OOC:

That stinks

OOC:

Shoot, a 1!? Sorry, Ivar.

Ivar pulls back on his bowstring, clears his mind, and exhales. Upon release, his hand holding the grip slips, and the bow comes barreling back at him, striking Ivar in the head.

OOC:

Next round, Ivar cannot attack as he clears his head. You can move, but no attack.

"Father...?" At the sight of the grisly scene, Nikk can barely hold onto his composure. He grabs his spear, and with a shriek of rage he charges forward, straight at the drow.

OOC:

Edit: Missed adding my bonus, but it's only +1, so it wouldn't change anything.

OOC:

Oof, sorry about that roll, Nikk.

Nikkghak runs into the room, barrelling towards the Mistress of Pain and jabs with his spear. She turns towards the goblin, "Father?" Then strikes with her whip. The fangs of one of the snake heads connect with Nikkghak's shoulder, but then are immediately pulled off as the mistress winds up for another attack.

OOC:

Nikkghak takes 3 points of damage, and I need you to roll a CON check (DC 12). If you fail, you are paralyzed for 1 round.

Father Marcus's head lolls to the side; he squints as Nikkghak runs into the room, not fully recognizing him.

Lillit steps into the room and off to one side, staying against the far wall. She points at the Mistress of Pain and says, "You wish to taste pain? Then taste it!"

OOC:

@Synaptic I know, I'm so sorry. I was hoping that she would roll poorly. Nikk keeps getting the raw deal.

The mistress of pain shudders and blinks quickly. Blood wells at the corners of her eyes and begins to run down her cheeks. Hobb runs beneath the table, ducking carefully, and smashes his mace into her kneecaps. She falls and writhes on the floor.

@KCC She has one more HP. I am going to let you have the killing blow. Describe what Hobb does.

Seeing the Mistress fall, Orm rushes over to his goblin companion. Rigid body but eyes moving freely, he recognizes the effects of a paralyze spell. His worry releases with a chuckle, "You must be the most unlucky being I've ever met. All is well though, this will end soon and then a swig of the red to make you feel better.", uncorking the healing potion. Glancing up at the old man lying on the table, the dwarf's brow furrows, don't die on me now "Let's make sure to save some for Father Marcus though."

Hobb quickly stamps a foot down on the elven whip, so she couldn’t dexterously raise it against him before he brought down his mace again.

He stands over here, panting with the exertion of the charge.

"Charity begins at home!" he says, bringing his mace up. "If it’s a blood offering you wanted, you should have started with your own!" he goes on, before bringing the mace down and striking the dark elf across the head!

There was still another red robe by my count, I step over the corpse of the one I felled, and round the Father, and proceed upon the threat slashing my sword at the red robe attempting to strike them down before they can be a threat to anyone I know.

OOC:

It's all good! It fits well with my idea of Nikk as the inexperienced local who's in waaay over his head. So in that regard, the dice roller trying to murder him is actually helping me tell his story ;)

I'm going to hold off on responding until the paralysis has worn off, but I'll roll for the healing potion in the meantime.

Also, nicely done, KCC!

OOC:

I agree, luck token for Hobb. I also think that Lillit should have gotten a luck token for the spell back in the previous room.

A sickening crunch echoes across the room as Hobb's mace cracks the mistress of pain's skull. Llewellyn slashes at the final red-robed acolyte and connects on his arm. Blood stains his robe. He scowls and sucks at his teeth. The acolyte raises his shortsword and attempts to cut deep into Llewellyn's shoulder, but Llewellyn deftly moves out of the way.

The final acolyte turns away from Llewellyn, searching blindly around the room. "No, no, no!" He waves one hand in front of his face and drops his shortsword on the ground. "I can't see!" He screams. "Damn them, Ramlaat! Curse them with your wrath!" He pulls a dagger out from his robes and slices his own throat. Blood oozes slowly from the wound; he falls upon his knees and then onto his face.

The Wayfinders take a collective breath as they survey the blood-strewn scene before them

OOC:

Great work, everyone! What an exciting battle! I assume that we will search the bodies...

What y'all find
- Snake Whip (near) (attack with Dex) (1d4+venom--2 charges left) Venom: DC 12 CON or paralyzed for 1 round
- Mistress was wearing a black robe
- Two red robes
- 6 gold
- Skull Key

In the equipment storage
- Mace (Nikkghak will recognize that this mace belongs to Father Marcus)
- 5 daggers

Light Source = Orm's Lantern

Everyone can take a turn describing what they do now before we move on to another room.
- Nikkghak, you recover from your paralysis.
- Ivar, you recover from your concussion.
- I am going to assume that the villagers and Kara ran out while the battle was happening.

What does your character do now?

Ivar shaking his head to clear the cobwebs can't believe what he saw. Taking his own life like that"Wow, we are dealing with some fanatics here. Can you believe that?" Looking around "Father are you alright? Let's treat him as well as we can. Can you walk?"Seeing the mistress down"Lillit maybe you should take that black robe."

Lillit looks at Ivar and asks first, "Are you OK?" Then, when offered the black robe, she smiles and says, "Very well. It's true that I have experience with blood magic and cults, even if I myself am not a practitioner of dark magics like that, so I suppose I can fake it fairly well. Thank you." She accepts the black robe and quickly changes into it, handing her red robe to anyone who would like it.

She also picks up the whip and the skull key and says, "These seem useful as well. Who would like to use these? I can, certainly, but I'm happy to offer it to others. Same with the skull key, which we should keep until we can find its purpose. Now..." She reaches down and places both of her hands in the pool of blood draining from the acolyte who cut his own throat. She walks out and places her bloody palms on both skulls outside. She shrugs and says, "Just in case."
