Chapter 3.5: The Temple of Merikka

Round three, continued...

Aanbo steps up next to Ember, thrusting with the staff and following up with a series of kicks. Mok is able to dodge all of these moves, but while he is thus occupied, the Earthshaker dwarf touches the human rogue and healing ki flows into her body.
Ember regains 5 HP.

Hoping the distraction from Aanbo will help him land his blow, Chase thrusts at Mok with his short sword, but the Windreaper monk seems to have eyes in the back of his head, and evades the blow. Chase sheathes his weapon and steps into the room, pulling his bow from where it is slung across his chest. As he does so, Mok jumps and kicks at him. The Windreaper style seems to favor head strikes; the monk's foot connects with Chase's head, leaving his ears ringing.
Chase takes 6 bludgeoning damage!

With one opponent incapacitated, Chon turns his attention fully on Myrtha, kicking and punching like a spinning top, the blows sounding out like a drum roll!
Myrtha takes 14 bludgeoning damage!

Round three, continued...

Ember turns on her heel and stabs with her rapier at Mok, but the Windreaper monk twists out of the way.

Mok spins, Disengaging to whirl around Ember to get Aanbo between him and Chase, then he attacks Lyrel with a kick and aims another punch at Aanbo. Lyrel steps out of the way of the kick, but the punch manages to hit Aanbo as he's turning.
Aanbo takes 6 bludgeoning damage!

Lyrel slashes and stabs at Mok with her sword wreathed in green flames, but the monk manages to dodge the blows.

Myrtha takes her beating stoically: she knows from Aanbo how dangerous monks can be. She attacks methodically, hoping to beat the monk’s weaving pattern of movement and impale him. Myrtha manages to whack Chon with the butt of her spear and then, while he's slightly off-balance, she flips the spear around and plunges the point into his thigh.
Chon takes 8 piercing damage!
Myrtha exhales and inhales slowly and steadily while she fights, filling her lungs and holding it to oxygenate her blood and slow her heart rate.
Myrtha regains 8 HP using Second Wind!

Arya lolls, insensate, in Morton's arms.

"You there! Warthead!" Ferranzo lambasts Chon, "How many children did you scare today? Or are you forced to wear a hood and mask outside so people don’t think you’re a zombie? I bet your ancestors hate what you’ve become. You’ll find out soon enough!"
Chon takes another 1 psychic damage and will have DISADV on the next attack he makes!

Eugenios stands over the sleeping acolyte, fingering a bared dagger in one hand. With the other, he summons another glove of deathly frost and flings it at Chon. Despite his wound, Chon manages to step out of the path of the spell.

Round Four
(this is preceded by round three)

Morton reluctantly sets the unconscious Arya down again, then stands up, moving away from his crush while glaring at the Merikkan monk Chon. His rage boils over into another call to the Fiend, sending another concussion at the man. "Die, you scud!" He gestures mockingly to the monk. "Take me!"
Chon takes 15 force damage.Chase pulls, nocks, draws, and looses another arrow, but Mok ducks down and the arrow whistles past everyone and shatters on the granite wall beyond them.

Chon smiles at Myrtha, gives a little bow and spins away, Disengaging and blurring toward Morton. "Thank you for the invitation!" he quips as his foot speeds at the warlock's head. But Ferranzo's words still stick in his head, and his kick is short of Morton's temple; the wind of the blow ruffles his hair. Chon follows up with a second kick which kicks into Morton's ribs.
Morton takes 7 bludgeoning damage!
As he is struck, Morton releases a gout of flame as a Hellish Rebuke, searing Chon!
Chon takes 3 fire damage!
