Beck and Sheelah try to gang up on the attic whisperer but tooth, claw, and cudgel all miss. The cudgel would have hit were it not for the combined effects of attack through the doorway and the protective barrier the creature had up.
Top of Round 2 Bad Guys
Granny looks at Duardlara contemplating what to do. Quickly weighing her options the venerable witch steps up diagonally to get some breathing room as she casts a spell. Both Sheelah and Duardlara begin to feel like a creeping doom is approaching as their worst nightmares come to fruition. All they want to do is run and hide to protect themselves from the scare.
Will save (nasty I know considering the attic whisperer's ability) DC 17 or suffer from scare and be frightened for 7 rounds. Success means just shaken for 1 round.
The attic whisperer takes the chance of Sheelah possibly being scared to bite at the kitty.

Sheelah is overcome by whatever it is that scares big cats and hightails it out and around the corner in to the hallway. the positive is that her leaving frees Jetro up for a clear shot with which he uses to great advantage. The first is just a tracer lining up the second shot that hits the attic whisperer hard.
Beck moves in to plug the gap and swings but can't get past the invisible force protecting the 'child'.
In the room proper Duardlara overcomes her fear and swings with her longsword at the witch. The blade connects the slow woman but when it does something unforeseen happened. A magical conduit traced its way back along the blade into Duardlara sucking the life from her.
spite spell with vampiric touch added
Part of Duardlara's lifeforce is then drawn out of Duardlara and enters into Granny Nan. Granny Nan just looks at you and smiles evilly. Bet you didn't expect that one child did you.
As Sheelah bolts out, Helgash repositions himself, taking one step back, and again swinging at the child thing - "We must get to Duardlara" - he roars.
Duardlara gasps at the chill that reaches to her very marrow.
"Well done, mother crone. You are a formidable foe. Hell will appreciate your arrival as a new recruit, I'm sure."
Helgash swings and misses at the child leaving it the bad guys turn again. Still with many a trick up her sleeve Granny Nan lets the attic whisperer tie up the others while a deep unnerving sensation comes over Duardlara. Clearly she should not have entered the room so quickly and leave her companions behind. The question was what to do about it.
evil eye on Duardlara will save DC 18. Success means -2 to saves for 1 round. Failure means -2 to saves for 7 rounds. (don't forget the -1 for being in range of the attic whisperer.)
The attic whispere for its part continues to try and bite whomever is in front of the doorway. This time it is Beck.
bite attack for damage and will save DC 16 or fatigued for 1 hour.
Jetro keeps shooting the doll(echo! echo!)
Helgash growls, swinging his weapon again at the child - "Push through!" - worried about his roguish companion.
Seeing the futility of using the longsword, Duardlara backs away tossing toward the head of the bed and drawing her bow with its enchantment as she moves.
Assuming that Beck is wise enough to move out of the way after he attacks Jetro lands 2 arrows into the attic whisperer who shows signs of cracking but is not destroyed yet.
Helgash swings and still is having a hard time connecting. Perhaps he is waiting to deliver a decisive blow to either Granny Nan or the dragon.
Duardlara falls under the effects of the witch's gaze and tries to hit Granny but is too burdened by the longsword to swing it properly as she misses. Giving up the sword she steps back and draws her bow.
"Oh, you're Granny Nan, aren't you? I've heard about you..."
Venja can still do little against the doll or the witch, so stands ready just in case there is an opening...

Beck swings again! One handed and raises his buckler
Beck even with an open doorway misses the attic whisperer but moves to allow Jetro the free shot.
Bad guys round 4
After successfully targeting Duardlara with her hex Granny strikes out again with a slumber hex.
Duardlara will save at DC 18 or fall into a sleep for 7 rounds.
The attic whisperer with no one in front of it slams the door closed separating the group even further. To make matters worse you can hear the click as the lock activates again.
Duardlara's eyes roll up in her head as her bow falls from nerveless fingers and she collapses, sound asleep.
Helgash, Here, help me get this door! Beck says
Break the door
Beck also calls sheelah back.
Can i get her to help with the door?
Yes beck that will work to have Sheehan aid.
Don't worry, she has something more nefarious in mind...suggestion...protect this old woman from the evil people trying to break down the door...
As to the elf thing with sleep I don't know for sure. I am leaning no as it is a hex and not the spell itself but mimics the spell except for duration and hd.
"Duardlara, no!" - Helgash roars, throwing himself against the door - "We need to stop this mockery of a fight, and PRESS ON!" - he roars.
The door remains stubbornly closed despite Helgash's efforts.
Inside the room Duardlara I need a will save as mentioned previously please. DC 18 and you will be under the effects of the attic whisperer.
Good Guys up!
Jetro unloads on the door with both hands
Without hesitation, Helgash throws himself repeatedly at the door, shouldering it as hard as he can - "We're coming Duardlara! Defend yourself!" - he roars.
Jetro damages the door as Helgash throws himself bodily forward smashing the door open. Behind it you see the attic whisperer readied to bite whomever is at the door.
Bite attack for [d4-1[/dice] and a dc 16 will save please Helgash or be fatigued.
As the door opens Sheelah gets a sight of Granny Nan again and runs away around the corner once more.
Venja and Beck still to go this round. Map the same as before except Helgash is in front of the door with Jetro next to him.
Venja casts a quick resistance on Helgash, hoping to help him resist the attic whisperer's affectations.

Sheelah swings with claws and tries to bite but can't seem to get a hold of the elusive attic whisperer. The tactics were sound and helped as Beck timed the whispere's movements to send his enhanced stick through the raven's skull of a head. The path is now clear for those to come in a ?avenge? Duardlara who is curled up in a heap on the floor next to Granny Nan.
Granny Nan turns and looks at Helgash giving him an evil stare as she holds her position over the downed Duardlara.
Will save dc 18 or suffer misfortune hex. Roll twice for all d20 rolls and take the worst.
Looking at you and duradlara she then cackles madly as only a witch can.
Jetro charges in and attacks the witch with his hammer!
Jetro you easily move into the room past the destroyed attic whisperer and hit the witch squarely on the chest. No spell effect happens this time as Duardlara took the hit for you already.
"You will regret your foul ways monster!" - Helgash roars, completely ignoring the attic whisperer, and shifting to be able to attack the witch.
