Agrippa hears the commotion, and determining the attacker flies, quaffs a handy concoction.
Momijii looked on in horror as she realized where she was, she knew this plac, she knew what was coming, but she was too slow to react to it as the...thing of wing and claw swooped down and snatched up Filbert. There was nothing she could do it happened so quickly and she cried out, "Filbert!" She was angry now as she adopted her stance, ready to strike if the thing came close and yelled out in anger, "Alright you winged freak I'm not so helpless this time, COME AND GET ME COWARD, fight someone your own size!" Her memory from the nightmare left her confidence shaken and it likely showed, she just hoped it was hidden well enough.
Momijii's fury is a sight to behold as she scolds the Nightgaunt! The creature shrinks under her verbal assault.
Filbert tries to defend himself but it's hard to aim when being hoisted off the floor by some eldritch horror!
Heinrich prepares a particularly sticky wad... Mmm bubblegum flavor.
The Nightgaunt tries to flee away up into the sky, but Filbert's thrashing unbalances it and rather than gaining height, it slams painfully into the ground! It's claws rake the earth and in a frenzy it lashes out at those nearest to it!

[b]"Filbert, you okay?"{/b]
Lizzie quickly turns her attention to the creature again.
Finding herself right next to the monster Momijii bellowed, "Remember me! Time for some well earned revenge!." She quickly gave the thing a pair of punches. One appeared to bee right on target but her overconfidence caused her stance to slip slightly and she knew the second would miss.
Agrippa spits the adhesive mixture at the Nightgaunt.
Filthy creature.
Luxina moves towards the Nightgaunt, dropping the torch, but drawing her club.
When she comes close, she attempts to distract it with her club.
"Not gonna happen again. Momiji! Take it down."
A first, as absurd as it seems Filbert begins to laugh, but quickly that turns to gasps for breath and a sickly pale color take the gnome.
Luxina menaces the nightgaunt with her club, trying to distract it while Momijii hits it!
Lizzie tries to attack it in earnest but it's unnaturally lithe and nimble and it dodges away. It tries to scuttles away from Momijii too, but carrying Filbert slows it down enough for one of her blows to connect!
Filbert fells very sick due to being yanked first one way then the other while being tickled mercilessly!
Agrippa spits a gobbet of something unmentionable at the nightgaunt, it splats noisily over it and sicks strongly to the ground! The thing thrashes in distress!
<--- FAIL
But wait all is not lost! Both Filbert and the Nightgaunt have the grappled condition. That imposes a -4 dex penalty which affects it's reflex save, hence Agrippa's adhesive spittle entangles it.
Even trapped like this, the nightgaunt proves to be a formidable foe. It's razor sharp claws savage Momijii. Lizzie is more fortunate, her armor deflects it in a shower of sparks!

Grabbing hold of the tail momentarily to stop the tickling, Filet tries to wriggle free
Granted breathing again is a welcome relief.
Luxina 5-foot steps north and tries to whack the Nightgaunt with her club.
Even glued to the ground, the eldritch horror shaking poor Filbert around like a rag doll, is too nimble for Luxina or Lizzie to hit. It twists in ways that are as horrifying to look at as they should be impossible!

Agrippa stabs at the creature with Red Destiny!
If lizzie is still standing, by her turn, she uses a swift action to use 1 loh.
, then she swings her mace again.
Momijii knew she couldn't take much more punishment from the creature and survive so she did the only thing she could. She quickly moved a short distance back and pulled out a potion which she quickly downed.
Momijii backs and downs a healing potion!
Filbert tries to wriggle free, but the eldritch horror's grip is like iron.
Heinrich dances in and scores a light scratch across the thing's rubbery skin!
The Nightgaunt ignores this and focuses it's fury on Lizzy, but her shield and armor turn aside all of it's attacks!
<--- MISS

At the same time the awful creature is persisting with the tickling. All thought of escape lost, it's all Filbert can do to hang on to his lunch.

Momijii and Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa are up.
In better shape than a moment before Momijii stepped up and once again attacked the creature. One fist sailing in before the other and leaving her off balance as she slipped on some blood from something or someone causing her follow up to have no chance at connecting.
Agrippa attacks with Red Destiny once more!
The creature tries to rear away from Momijii but it's not fast enough to evade her, one fist lands with brine crunching force!
Filbert is too sick from all the ticking to do anything!
Heinrich dances in again and scores another deep scratch down the things ebon flank.
Hurting badly, the creature turns it's fury on Momijii, she easily dodges one scythe like claw but has nowhere to go when the second one comes whistling past!
<---MISS
<--- HIT
All the while its tickling Filbert without mercy. Depspite this Filbert manages to pull himself together!

Luxina sets up a flank with Agripps and tries to smash it with her club, but it's simply too fast and her club hits the ground.
Lizzie calls upon the power of her god to heal and brings her mace down on the Nightgaunt with a sickening crunch!

Momijii, Filbert Springbit and Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa are up.
Having momentarily stopped the tail from tickling him, Filbert tries unsuccessfully once more to extricate himself. Finding all he has strength to do for the moment is breath.
Feeling the pain from the creature's claws once again Momijii gave it two swift kicks before backing away for a moment. She her first blow would miss but she made up for it on the following one as she used her momentum to do a back flip, her foot catching the creature under it's "chin" and landing her a short distance abck from it.
Momijii's foot strikes with the sound of a whipcrack! The things head recoils back at an unnatural angle and suddenly, like a marionette with it's strings cut, it falls to the floor in a heap!
Well done that was a nasty foe and if it hadn't been for Agrippa's adhesive spittle, there may have been fatalities. I assume you want to get patched up before exploring further.
Gasping for breath, Filbert untangles himself from the tail and claw of the Nightgaunt. Head throbbing from lack of oxygen. Once free of the creature he just sits in the middle of the path "T-Thank y-you"
Feeling around to make sure everything is as it should be , he produces a dagger, holding it up as if seeing it for the first time. "Momijii, Lizzie, can you teach me how to use this for more than peeling my apples?"
For the moment Filbert has no thoughts of the shed that they were going to check out previously.
Agrippa notices the claw marks "This creature wanted in the shed. We should see what it wanted. " Agrippa moves to the door and knocks. "Hello there. "
-Posted with Wayfinder
Luxina checks up on Filbert and is visibly relieved to see he's all right.
"Damn thing. I don't know why it was here, but I'm sure glad...Hey that shed is visible again. Someone must be inside!"
Luxina tests her strength on the door.
Relieved at the death of the bast are that drove her dream self time his death Momijii was startled when the group headed towards the shed. She stretched out a hand and said, "Wait! I already know what's in there, a dead body and at least one zombie." She looked around nervously, not wanting to be exposed out here more than necessary, "J-j-just be ready when you open it."
Luxina throws her weight against the door. It shudders, and almost shifted. Perhaps with a little help it will open?
"Nnnghh...."
"NNNNGH!!"
Realizing they were determined to get onside, and realizing it might be necessary, Momijii moved to the door and began helping to try and force it open.
Lizzie leans on the door while Momijii takes a run up and puts her hips into a powerful side kick. The door shudders and you hear pottery inside break. She batters it once more and it swings open. Just inside you see the wreckage of a very large plant pot.
Filbert offers healing to any who will take it, "I can help heal, you'll just be a bit tired after I do so."
Map updated.
Luxina enters the ominous shed with a torch in hand and looks around inquisitively.
"Wow. Looks like a pottery barn if you, judging by all the shards now."
Luxina moves a little closer towards the dark area near the stairs and tries to shine light upon the situation there.
If people agree:
Momijii was startled when they found a stairway going down, "This wasn't here before...was it?" she mumbled in confusion. It was then that Lizzie began to use some of the items they found and worked on tending the worst of the injuries. When Lizzie had finished using the wand on her Momijii punched one palm with a fist, grabbing the fist witht he open hand, and bowed over it in the small gnome's direction, "My thanks." With that she turned to face the shed once more and asked, "Do you want me to go first or last?"
Filbert simply nods as Lizzie uses the scrolls and potions to heal herself and Momijii, knowing his ability was still relatively untried so the others would likely be reticent to avail themselves of it.
Moving into the shed to stand beside Luxina, Filbert stares down into the tunnel knowing that something terrible awaited them below. This is the only way forward??"
Retrieving a torch from his gear he lights it from Luxina's torch "The more light the better" Dropping the lit torch to the bottom of the rung ladder. "I'll get it when I climb down but now Momijii's hands will be empty when she reaches bottom."
Lizzie gets busy with the healing, she and Momijii are back in fighting shape.
Luxina peers down the hole, her light swallowed up by the vast darkness. She gets a sense of something vast and otherworldly below.
Filbert lights a torch and drops it down the hole, the torch gutters as it's buffeted by the wind but it carries on falling for a long time. Perhaps twenty maybe thirty heartbeats later it's still falling before winking out. You can't tell if that's because it hit something or if the wind blew it out. The bottom of the shaft is a very very long way down.
Before you have time to consider this, there's a noise from the other end of the shed! Several zombies have pushes themselves up though the loosely packed dirt floor!
Hungering for BRAINS, the zombies attack!
Initiative rolls:
Combat order:
Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa
Lizzie “Beads” Tamar

Heinrich, Lizzie, Filbert and Momijii are up.
When Lizzie had finished using the wand on her Momijii punched one palm with a fist, grabbing the fist witht he open hand, and bowed over it in the small gnome's direction, "My thanks."
"You're welcome.", Lizzie with a smile, seeing her friend in much better shape again.
With the torch plummeting further and further, her eyes are big in anticipation.
"Sure takes a while to drop down, falling down this hole would be bad."
As he ground starts to stir with rising zombies...
"Ohmygosh! Zombies, and not the normal kind, either.
Beats me how i know, but these are called apocalypse zombies, the kind able to wipe out entire towns. Being bitten is bad, very bad.
To arms!!", and she grabs her mace.
Edit:
Lizzie takes total defense, shield up, aiming to hold ground so Luxina and Momiji can safely withdraw.
Watching the torch fall and continue to fall for quite a while, elicits an "Oh my" from Filbert, who visibly gulps at the thought of climbing down that ladder.
"Umm does anyone have a rope?" He ask as he looks up to find the others staring at something deeper in the shed, trembling one hand reaches for the dagger at his belt, remembering his recent fight with the Nightgaunt. Others watching though see the familiar spin of debris surrounding him. "Perhaps we should go back outside then, giving us more room to move about."
Filbert backs out of the shed.
