Krafnik spots the sneaky fey as it comes down the tower and calls out warning to the group using his performance to do so in stirring Oratory!
"Beware from the tower, a second enemy!"
"A grimwalker attempts to ambush us. Its fey."
Zilybar jumps around avoiding the entanglement as he tries to stab at the creature.
He takes a quick look around to see what Krafnik is talking about but is not able to see what the paladin is speaking about.
so Hrungir is Entangled but he can still attack just gets a -2.
I think we are just missing aurora.
Aurora continues going after the plants
In any case the vines will continue trying to squeeze Hrungir and Aurora to death.
The grim stalker angry he was spotted takes a shot at Krafnik with his longbow using a poisoned arrow.
but misses.
Your go again.
Alexander looks over to the new combatant, knocks another arrow, and fires.
Krafnik switches to cold iron arrows and fires at the Grimwalker
Smite the grimwalker
Two hits but the crit doesn't confirm missing quite a few actions.
Waiting on those who haven't acted yet this round. So far only krafnik and Alexand did.
With the vines trying to squeeze th life out of him, Hrungnir stepped back and called out to Adabar to bless his hammer. It began shining with a golden light.
Ionnia growls again trying to break free.
Turning to see that Krafnik is firing at the creature that he called out. Zilybar calls forth a spell in hopes that it will do some good.
Suddenly out of nowhere erupting out of the ground to surround the creature in an aura of yellow, orange, red, white, and blue flames. Zilybar smiles in hopes that this creature will be of a weak enough mind to succumb to his spell.
Ionnia tries to free herself again
The vines have 35 hp I don't think either one was killed.
Grimstalker is still alive, save vs illusion.
The Grimstalker launches two arrows at Zilybar
fort vs poison if hit. dc 19 , damage 1d4 dex
The plans continues to grapple Ionnia and Hrungir
ok you can all go again.
Hrungnir swung again, figuring that if he flattened the vines it should destroy them. ” ever underestimate a dwarf with a hammer!” he growled.
Shield (21/24 rounds)
Barkskin (?/40 minutes)
Divine Favor (5/6 rounds)
Rage (15/18 rounds)AC31
Alexand knocks and fires another arrow at the Grimstalker.
Krafnik fires on the Grimwalker continuing to do bardic performance.
The grimwalker badly injured flees into the central tower leaping over to it and climbing into a second story window.
You finish off the assassin vines and the entanglement stops.
I wonder if that creature has been using the vines as a natural ally against foes for some time? Shall we inspect the tower and follow our foe? Krafnik says to his companions stopping his bardic performance, it echoes for a few more moments as if lingering in the air.
the creature is evil to be sure so I would not be in favor of simply leaving it here to ambush other travellers Krafnik completes his thought looking from one to the next
”Let’s go then, and conquer this fortress! Zilybar, if our foe can enter through that window then it can leave by it as well. Can ye stay down here? When ye hear fighting make it appear that the windows are boarded up. If it’s fighting it might not see through your illusions. Also, if more evil fey are around, Ye can scare them off by making the images of good fey, Aye?”
Lady Ionnia shakes out of the vines and whirls her club as she looks at the others. Looking at them she speaks."Flushing it out seems a sound coarse. Leaving Zilybar out here by his lonesome is not advised unless you can remain hidden. If you can do that then Master Hrungnir seems to have a good tactic. Alex or Krafnik do you either of you know more about this creature and if so is there anything we should expect from it"She says looking at them ready to take in there advice and devise the best plan.
Alex bows deeply, "I do not."
the grimstalker is an evil fey reknkwned for using natural vines like this to attack uneary souls and uses poison and prefers range yet has deadly claws. I used cold iron arrows on it. Krafnik says as they walk toward the tower.
You go into the lower level of the tower and see a bare room with a spiral staircase going up to the next floor. You move towards the stairs when someone from above drops a vase down the stairs, the lid is knocked off as it hits the ground and purple smoke comes spewing out of the vase.
Insanity Mist (20 foot radius spread) (dc 22 will save or be confused until you leave the mist and for 3 rounds after)
”Watch out! Hold your breath!” The dwarf called out as the projectile fell.
"Great" She says as she pulls up her hood and focuses on getting her scarf about her face.
Cursing and grumbling, Hrungnir went over to Aurora and grabbed her by the arm. "Time to go, lass. Ionnia, grab Alexand. We'll pull them out of the mist."
He knew that Aurora was inhumanly strong. He hoped that she wouldn't resist, or this was going to get messy. Most likely his face if she punched him...
using the spell saving finale Krafnik will cancel his lingering performance ending the effects in order to interrupt and give Aurora a second chance at the saving throw.
CASTING
Casting Time 1 immediate action
Components V, S
EFFECT
Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Targets one living creature
Duration instantaneous
Saving Throw Will negates (harmless); Spell Resistance yes (harmless)
DESCRIPTION
You must have a bardic performance in effect to cast this spell. With a flourish, you can immediately end your bardic performance when a creature within range affected by your bardic performance fails a Saving Throw, allowing the subject to immediately reroll the failed Saving Throw.
So Aurora can re-roll. Alexand is still affected as well.
So you guys will need to resolve the situation each round those that failed Alexand and maybe aurora will need to roll for confusion.

Krafnik tries to help get the group outside the mist stepping out and helping any stragglers outside as well.
Closest to Aurora would be Hrungir
Aurora Smacks Hrungir
Then tries Smacks herself
Then tries Smacks herself again
Ionnia Rushed over towards Alex and tried to grab him only to see him pull a bow and then flee after a couple of shots.
"Great, Need to get Alex!"
Ignoring the attacks, and trusting in his armor, Hrungnir attempted to grapple the woman:
You managed to get away from the gas and hold out until the effects were off. But the vase seems to be spewing more and more of the stuff. Seems like it has an endless supply of it or at least a very large amount.
Ionnia rushes after to Alex trying to get him to stop and basically grab hold of him when he does
well this thing has certainly got the stairwell covered. Any ideas on how to get to it without falling into the many traps and prepared problems it has in wait for us?
Krafnik will vanish and dash in and attempt to pull the lid off the vase stealthfully in the smoke filled room
You close the vase and the the smoke stops. After a few moments the smoke is dissipated.
