Caradwen moves forward, her bow ready - "Here we go again lads - hit them hard and fast!"
With increased vigor from Markus' spell. Morbar wades into the room and goes straight at the caster pointed out by his companion, ignoring everyone else in the way.
"Let's end THIS!" - he swings his hammer hard over his head.

The closest monk spins even after being slammed by Erek and unleashes a blistering flurry of punches and kicks but although some get through Erek's defences, his divine-powered form simply resists any damage they might deal.

Morbar is not so fortunate. Within an instant he finds himself surrounded by monks. Two of them slash at him with kicks that simply rebound off his stout armour, but his plate can do nothing against the focussed energy of the lazurite.
The monk before him, still reeling from the powerful blow the dwarf dealt, raises the metal and glass lens of the necromantic focus and presses it against Morbar's chest.
Black energy flows through it like grim lightning. It flashes through the dwarf, snuffing out his very life essence as one might snuff out a candle. Slowly, like a tree falling, the dwarf topples and crashes to the ground.

Hit
Buoyed by their success, the other two monks close in on Jon. One sends a punch wide as he sways aside but the other lands a punishing blow in his midrif.
Even as Morbar collapses, the dark presence of Renchurch begins to pulsate around him with long fingers of black etherial energy claw at him.
In horror, you realise that the very putrid evil of this place is binding his soul.
The soul of a living creature who dies within the halls of Renchurch Cathedral or its catacombs is soured and corrupted by the cathedral’s malign influence, manifesting near the scene of its death 1d4 hours later as a haunt with a CR equal to its original Hit Dice and its alignment shifted to evil. Similar to a soul bind effect (CL 20th), the souls are trapped within the cathedral itself, and spells such as breath of life, raise dead, reincarnation, and resurrection function only if both the soul and the body are removed from the cathedral. Such spells always fail if bodies are removed from Renchurch without the retrieval of their trapped souls as well. Dispel magic, greater dispel magic, or dispel evil cast at the resulting haunt’s site can be used to temporarily free a bound soul, but the creature must be revived within 1 hour or the soul is shunted back into the walls of Renchurch to form a haunt again.
Watching as the lens is used on Morbar it feels time itself is slowed down as the dwarf crashed into the floor becomes grief stricken and full of anger moving the chain and attempt to pull the feet from underneath it target
Raising his two hands in the air and slams into the floor the three monks begin to fall into the ceiling

Markus grits his teeth as he realises just what's happened to Morbar "Focus on the cultists! I can bring Morbar back! Look ahead not back kill them for what he did to him!"
Stepping forward he places a hand on Cara and grants her a bit of luck."Put them all down, Cara."
Erek watches in horror as Morbar is killed by the necromancers. He withstands the assault of the monk before him and with renewed fury he lays into him with the Raven's Head. He rains blow after blow down onto the monk, nattering him with sheer ferocity.

The Raven's Head smashes the cultist from her feet in a single powerful blow. Erek then steps up and continues his assault on the monk facing Jon.
Righteous fury flowing through him, the inquisitor levels the foe with two quick strikes.
Jons eyes blaze with rings of fire as Morbar crashes to the ground and a cold seething anger grips the oracle and with a cry of anger he launches himself at the cultist before him.
His great wings flare out behind him as he attacks, driving his blade into the cultist before him again and again.

Hp 128
Driven by hatred and anger, Jon cuts down the cultists mercilessly.
Caradwen is almost unable to see anything at all, her grim face streaked with the tears flowing freely from her eyes. She fires arrow, upon arrow, upon arrow at the one who killed Morbar.
The monk that killed Morbar reacts with lightning reflexes and deflects the first arrow that streaks towards him but several others slam into his chest and he is punched from his feet.
The lens clatters to the ground as the monk holding it falls.
The two remaining cultists fall suddenly upward, crashing against the hard ceiling as Davos' spell takes effect.
Markus steps into the room figuring out just who's left. "What is the area of that spell Davos?" He says passing the elf, sticking to the wall he moves to the only other door in the room and attempts to listen to it.
You hear the grating of heavy stone although it seems to be some distance away. Then it occurs again, and again and continues as you stand there listening
"I'll end it now, they'll drop to the floor soon enough just don't go near them otherwise you'll get caught and flung into the ceiling also" he says with a smirk at how effective his spell is.

Caradwen does not care, she does not even listen to the others, and continues pumping shots into their foes - Die! - is all she can focus on.

Incredibly unlucky to take a crit on that and double damage and even more so to take exactly the amount of negative levels to kill him outright. Nevertheless, Morbar is dead.
Before you ask, this is dealt with like a touch attack and specifically does not cause an AOO
With the two cultists helplessly floundering against the ceiling, it is not great task for Caradwen to feather them with a series of deadly-accurate shots.
When Davos cancels his spell and they crash to the ground, they do not move again.
Markus looks around looking high strung he desperately wants to keep moving but heads over to their fallen friend. Morbars soul is trapped in this place, it will take a while for his soul to settle and I will then need to try and dispell it and cast it out from this place, Davos could aid me in that. Then and only then can we attempt to bring him back, but we will have to leave this place for that." He says looking down at the dwarf's body. "But I think we should push on, I'll keep Morbar body he will be back but I need to know what's behind this door. I heard something opening just past it."
"Better to push on, will take some time to bring him back and we don't have time on our side" he says looking over the lens that the monks had

The man in the chair who was the focus of the nectomantic energy headed and wheezes as Davos approaches.
Though severely weakened he is alive. And angry.
What the Hell did you do that for? I paid good money for this! he demands
Jon brutally hacks the cultist apart and kicks the corpse off his blade, drawing in great gulps of air as he tries to calm himself.
Moving over to his fallen friend he kneels beside his body and places his hand on his chest , somehow not quite believing he is gone.
his soul is trapped here ! God damn this place! he snarls we will get him free from here if I have to tear this place apart brick by brick. I will not let him end up like his brother! Job says sternly as he tries to keep his emotions under control
you will get him out Markus, you must!
Then as the man in the chair stirs and begins to curse them he suddenly flies at him in a rage, his great demon wings flaring out and his eyes blazing with fire.
YOU PAID FOR THIS!! Jon screams as he grabs the man roughly by the throat and drags him up to eye level his nails digging deeply into his flesh as he resists the urge to tear out his throat.
You piece of shit! You want to f$*$ing die? Well that can be arranged easily enough, it would be my pleasure
start talking, tell us everything you know about this place or I will make your passing into the next life as painful as I possibly can Jon growls, his voice cold.
"Jon, now is not the time! I won't let Morbar stay dead like that, we have to see things about life and death differently. It's not a matter of if but when, after everything we've been through Desna has given me such power. I won't let any of you down, just like I can't let Kedra down."
He then moves over to the man, standing next to Jon as he attempts to get some answers out of the man.

Not die... live... forever.... the man chokes under Jon's grip. That's... what I came here.... for. You ruined it.... ruined ... everything.
As Jon throws him roughly back down into the chair he coughs and splutters before catching his breath.
What do you think I know about this place? I just came here with money to ask them to turn me. I heard a few of them talking about some important prisoner down in the catacombs but that's none of my business and these aren't the kinds of people you ask questions of.
Besides a crumpled pile of clothes that reek of grave dirt, a large sack contains what appears to be this man's payment for his transformation: 10 diamonds worth 500 gp each, and an ebony fly figurine of wondrous power decorated with the skull motif of Urgathoa.

With the combat over, the terrible cost dawns on Erek. He looks down Arby's morbar's body with deep sadness and regret and says "He was a fine warrior, brace and true but we have no time to mourn him. We are in the lair of the beast and it has just shown just how deadly it is. All the more reason to destroy it. Come on!"
He picks up Morbar and says to markus. "Time to use that bag of yours."
Together they place the corpse and his gear inside Markus' bag of holding then the inquisitor stands over the man menacingly. "What is your name?" he demands coldly. "I do not have time now but you will face Iimadae's judgement for this. When I have finished destroying this war of evil I will find you and then you will do penance.". He waits for the man to give his name then says "Het out of here worm." and strides to the next door. Without pause he pushes it open.
Erek shoves open the door, his holy magic still active.
Dozens of moldering relics litter this room, some haphazardly crammed into gilded display cases, others arranged with care and placed on tarnished stands.
The sound of grating stone is louder now. It occurs every few seconds and appears to be coming from the room north of here.
Jon shakes his head at the mans incredible foolishness
live forever? You god dammned fool. Jon says sadly as he looks at the pathetic man.
the prisoner must be Kendra. We must find a way down to These catacombs , let us finish this
He says as he grimly follows Erek into the next room, he must focus on the task at hand he cannot let himself think about Morbar.
that's one down Jon....and five more to go. Yo are all going to rot here forever the chill voice chuckles in his ear and he tries his best to ignore it
"Leave him here we'll let him go later, he can think on just want he wants out of life." Markus turns and follows Erek wanting to keep up.
"Be very careful. These could be cursed, haunted or worse." He slowly move into the room looking over the shelves casting detect magic.
"Nothing here is of use, let's keep moving." He says pushes through the room but keeping an eye out for anything that might be trapped. Getting to the door he checks it over before opening.
As soon as Markus opens the door the source of the grating stone is revealed.
Ancient sarcophagi lean haphazardly along the walls here. Stained teacups and cracked saucers are set on a low table, next to a matching teapot sitting atop a silver warmer. The gruesome remains of a desiccated human forearm lies on a small chopping block among powdered remnants of a bitumen-soaked shroud.
Six of the sarcophagi lie open and a seventh is in the process of slowly opening itself, revealing a dusty, dessicated corpse within. Wrapped from head to toe in ancient strips of moldering linen, the humanoids within the sarcophagi begin moving toward you with a shuffling gait.

"More undead!" He shouts out all he knows. Then begins to chant quickly and runs towards the undead. "Don't worry about me!"
Catching site of the amount of mummies in the room, summoning through the cracks in the floor a stream of brimstone and fire flies into the air and attempts to block the mummies in their path
