Zelera realized the issue of being in the hallway since she would be seen when he comes down, and instead stayed inside the room next to the door ready to move out into the hallway and towards the Baron's room once he was inside of it. She thought at Waffles, Tell me when the Baron has entered his room and closed his door.
Colwyn lies in wait just behind the door of one of the adjoining bedchambers, ready to slip out and come up behind Drelev once he descends the stairs and walks down the hallway.
Waffles hustles Numesti into the same room that Colwyn is hiding in, and then he turns invisible. As Zelera requested, he telepathically notifies the party of the Baron's actions.
Are you ready?
Baron Drelev is quick to respond to Maray's whispered Message spell. Hustling down the stairs and into his room like a randy bull.
He brings two guards with him, who are left in the hallway and promptly crouch down to play dice when the Baron hurries into his room.
He pauses to splash on a rather awful cologne and comes into Maray's room with a big smile. "You called my dear?"
Everyone can now act!
.
Colwyn kicks open the door and leaps into the hallway to skewer the first of the dice-playing guards from behind.
Colwyn badly wounds Yellow.
What are the rest of you doing?
Marten is out directly after Colwyn, and moves to engage Drelev.
"Knave! Your rotting domain is a reflection of your incompetence as a leader!" he shouts.
Yala quaffs an ironskin concoction.
Niadroub Kliip is annoyed with himself for snickering at Waffles' comment about Drelev expecting the wrong kind of "action," so his frown is as much for himself as it is for the corrupt baron. He casts icy prison on the man as soon as he enters the room.
Out in the hallway, flittering above Colwyn's head, Waffles exhales mightily to envelop the two guards with his breath weapon. A glittery, tinkling mist wafts in a cone past the guards.
Breath Weapon (Su) 5-foot cone, euphoria for 1d6 rounds, DC 12 Fortitude negates. Creatures affected by euphoria are staggered, sickened, and immune to fear effects for the duration. A faerie dragon can use this breath weapon once every 1d4 rounds.
Silent and deadly, Vibenia pops up from the side of the bed, sinking a shot deep into the Baron's side.
Yellow scrambles to draw his weapon, Green stares into space with a dazed look.
The Baron avoids Niadroubs spell. .
His face flushes with anger at Marten's words. He advances, drawing a different weapon than the one he hoped to be using.
Maray zips out of the room, not wanting her silky skin marred. :)
Vibenia puts a bolt into the Baron.
You can all act again. Ambushes are fun when they work.
