Halara will move inside and try to put one to sleep, so they don't have to be flanked when coming into the room. "Slumber!"
One of the tiefings is wounded as he runs away from Valkyrie as she brings her scimitar around in a swift blow across his back. Halara then steps forward and causes the other tiefling to fall asleep.
"Good work!" Viktor shouts out. He hurries in to cut off the last tiefling.
Viktor rushes by the tiefling and the tiefling tries to stab Viktor as he runs by, but Viktor sees the blow coming and deflects it to the side with his shield.
Rather amazed by how quickly the cultists have been dropped, Ophelia decides to take the chance to move into the building.
Micah moves inside stopping adjacent to the first living tiefling he encounters...
,
Ophelia moves forward while Mach and Telis also rush forward. Telis then takes a bite at the remaining tiefling and he falls to the floor as Telis's teeth tear a chunk of flesh from him.
Val double moves to try and catch up to the missing teifling..
Valkyrie can follow the path of the tiefling since he didn't close the first door he went through. In the room Valkyrie can see two more doors that are both closed and appear locked.
Halara finishes mercilessly the one who's asleep.
"Two locked doors over here.. Anyone pick a lock?"
"I can't, but the bottom of Viktor's boot might be able too..."
As people quickly discuss the options for opening doors, Telis sniffs around to determine which door it passed through...
"I am inclined to agree with Micah. Chopping down the door is probably the easiest route."
"Aye." Viktor steps up and kicks the door, twice.
Telis sniffs the air and determines that the man went to both doors, but went through the one to the north. Viktor armed with this knowledge gives the door two kicks. The door stands firm for the first kick, but the second one takes the door off its hinges and it crashes to the ground. Inside the room blood and filth smear floor. Six white stone statues of famous heroes line the hall—each clawed, bloodstained, partially smashed, or otherwise defaced. At the far end of the hall, a raised dais holds an upturned alabaster altar. Sitting atop the upside-down altar is a hideous mass of severed limbs that have been stitched together into a vile monstrous insectoid shape. Before the dais, seven ratty bedrolls have been laid out on the floor. The tiefling man is there holding a crossbow along with three men in armor wielding glaives who seem ready to attack, and another tall tiefling who has just finished drinking a potion. The tall tiefling snarls at all of you.
"Prepare to die wretches!"
Halara rushes inside with the others and atacks the first cultist available to her Fauchard, scoring an awesome hit at one of the cultists.
!
!
As Halara steps forward the cultist attacks her.
The cultist's blow fails to even leave a scrath of Halara's armor as she slices the cultist across the chest causing the cultist to fall down bleeding.
Micah and Telis follow Halara into the room. Seeing that the armored tieflings have weapons with reach and are ready to put them to use, Micah signals Telis to defend before firing off an arrow at the figure ahead of him.
,
Val moves in a attack one of the cultist..
As Valkyrie approaches the man takes a swing at her.
But he fails to even come closer to Valkyire as she rushes up and cuts a large gash on his arm. Opehlia then launches a few magic missiles at the man who Micah shot.
The man stumble but regains his footing and keeps standing through force of will alone it seems. He steps back and heals himself with his magics.
The other man steps back as well but he presents his holy symbol and cries out. "Burn heathens." as a dark energy goes out and strikes everyone except Viktor.
The teifling takes a shot at Micah with his crossbow.
And he manages to hit with the bolt causing a deep wound. The other tiefling pulls out a bomb and hurls it at Halara.
With the bomb hitting Halara it explodes and causes her to catch on fire.
Ophelia manages to avoid the worst of the fire, but not all.
Viktor moves into the room and raises his own holy symbol. "Evil will not prevail here!"
Viktor's healing energy flows through Micah and Telis repairing the damage wrought by the fire and foul energy.
Acting quickly, Micah conjures a small deluge of water above Halara to extinguish the flames [cast create water], and orders Telis to attack while most of the enemies' long weapons are out of position to accommodate casting and channeling...
,
"Pathetic. Thou shall suffer for having attacked our beloved city! I'm gonna crush you body to pieces, and whatever afterlife you're going to, I'll stop by to torment you!" She bursts out while moving to attack the next exposed target!
!
!
Telis rushes forward and takes down a cultist with his claws as they slice across the man's chest as Halara then turns and cuts the other cultist in half with a masterful swing of her fauchard.
Val casts a spell into her blades then moves up and attacks.. She burns an arcane point for Arcane Accuracy.
Glad to finally be fighting without spell resistance, Ophelia takes another shot with her Wand of Magic Missile. She aims it at the cultist fighting Val and pelts him with three small sphere of force energy.
The teifling dodges back trying to avoid Valkyire's scimitar. As the blade gets closer to striking him a small shield of force blocks the blade from going any further. When Ophelia fires her wand of magic missile the shield moves around and deflects all of the missiles. The tiefling fires his crossbow at Telis, and then the man then steps back and tosses another bomb this time at Valkyire.
The bolt from the crossbow slams into the wall above Telis as the tiefling curses the bomb smashes up against the wall next to Valkyrie splashing Valkyrie and the man with the bomb's fire.
The man seems unaffected by the fire as it splashes over him.
Halara strikes again with the fury of the righteous! This time she aims at the last minion.
The righteous wall of flesh and armor marches purposefully towards the tall tiefling. "You cannot kill me, foul heretic!" He brings down his long sword with fury.
Frustrated that her spell was foiled, Ophelia grits her teeth and changes targets, firing another swarm of magic missiles into the fray.
Halara swings at the tiefling bringing her blade down upon the minion's chest opening a great wound. The man almost falls, but remains standing long enough for Ophelia to blast him off his feet as three missiles travel across the room in a flash and impact upon his chest. Viktor then advances forward with a righteous arm bringing his longsword down upon the man's arm as the man is to focused on Valkyire. The man glares at Viktor as he holds the cut on his arm.
Telis charges the tall man, chomping at him with his strong jaws and trying to drag him to the ground, while Micah stows his bow and moves while drawing his morning star.
, plus
Sword still charged Val swings again..
Telis's teeth fail to find any purchase in the man as he deftly twists out of the way, but his dodging of the leopard comes at a cost. Valkyrie seeing an opening rushes forward with her spell charged scimitar once again, and slices the man right across his chest as she has the spell discharge it's electrical might against the man. Valkyrie notices that this electricity also seems to have a lesser effect on him. The man himself seems angry at his lack of followers, and he pulls out another grenade, but this time he throws it at his feet. The area around him suddenly fills with smoke blocking him from view.
..
Viktor growls as the smoke goes up. "Cover the exits!" He moves forward into the smoke, ears open for footsteps.
, ;
,
Halara moves forward inside the smoke, to get to the other side and cover any possible exits.
Telis bites the man as he pulls out the bomb, but he fails to trip the man as he twists away from Telis. Valkyrie and Viktor swing high and low at him, but he dodges backwards and avoids both of their attacks. Halara recognizes that this bomb is acting almost like a fog cloud spell.
Telis sniffs the air then begins to snarl, he steps forward and bites at the enemy trying again to drag him down...
,
Micah shouts, "Telis is on him, follow the sound!"
Not having much to do at the moment, Eden opts to just cautiously move forward slightly.
Val follows and swings..
Telis rushes forward through the smoke and finds the man biting him and dragging him down onto the ground with a snarl. Valkyrie following the sound of Telis moves forward and swings at the man bringing her scimitar down for a deep cut on the man's chest as he lies down on the ground. The man lies down on the ground as his blood begins to spill out onto the floor around him staining the floor red.
"Let's keep moving! We don't have time to lose!"
Ophelia nods her head in agreement.
