The team pushes on, Camil in the lead with Runt close behind.
A man from across the room stands and calls out, "Who are you? What are you doing here?" He is dressed in a crimson robe like the one you wear but he has a strange mask on.
As your head clears the level of the floor you see a man across the room. He is dressed in a crimson robe like the one you wear but he has a strange mask on.
Camil immediately ducks down on the stairs, stopping moving at once, and signalling to the others that there's a single person in the room above where they are now. He very quietly steps to the side, and lets someone else have a crack at going into the chamber...
Runt prepares by casting divine favor and weapon of awe before ascending. Once near the door she peers through.
Is she detected?
If not she summons a velociraptor behind the fellow and bursts though the door. So much for a fair trial. as far as she is concerned the mask and the robe make him guilty of something.
Not a door this time. the stairs merely rise through the floor, so Runt casts a couple prep spells, pops her little head above the level of the floor and conjures a velociraptor.
Surprise Round
Everyone is on the stair or the landing below. Runt has moved to the front. Stairs are difficult terrain for climbing purposes. PCs get to go. I will roll for init momentarily. Runt casted two spells prior to kicking off the party. Others may have done so as well, let me know.
After summoning she rushes forward as fast as her legs will carry her, a whopping 20'. The raptor does it's best to make the guys life difficult.
Camil will take this opportunity to drink his elixir of False life...
Kizzy continues to wait, given that anything she does is usually loud and showy, she steps aside and will cast invisibility on Forest as he goes by, letting him know that she has done so with a whisper.
Zherxikas, assuming time remaining on invisibility, will move up into the room in the corner to keep out of the way but prepared to act.
Once Runt casts some spells, Isabella also adds in a bless spell.
The velociraptor with a hiss and a growl tears into the man, knocking him from the chair. The following attacks disembowel the man and he never rises. (everyone else needs to finish his/her surprise round before we move into round 1)

"Nobody else seems to be in here."
Not wanting to waste any time on her enchantments she rushes towards the double doors leaving the velociraptor to sniff out any further opposition.
Runt rushes to the double doors and hears someone behind them chanting a spell.
Invisibility
"Someone is casting invisibility in there."
Invisi-Forest can't really tell what's going on. He moves up to the next level, but still can't really tell what's going on.
Camil rushes up, opening the door and flinging a thunderstone across to the opposite wall. It crashes with a deafening BANG and he steps back from the doorway...
Forest hustles on up, obvious from his footsteps even though he is unseen. Camil rushes past him and flings open the far door only just in time to notice it is an empty storeroom and saves his thunderstone for a different target. Kizzy and Isabella finish moving up the steps so that everyone is in the room. Lavanor is covering down on both doors with his bow. On the other side of the door, the chanting continues.

Moves so he can see the doors before someone opens them.
Zherxikas, use detect magic to pinpoint the invisible caster's location so our warriors may target that area! I will do the same. Kizzy calls out and prepares to do the same as she advances.
Zherxikas moves so he can best see the door.

Runt opens the door and the raptor goes a hunting.
Further actions depends on what she sees and whether the raptor is able to pick up the scent and locate the caster.
Runt flings open the door and the velociraptor goes in. The animal goes behind the desk and bites at something but misses. (you should have control of token now)

Casts a spell in back of the room.
"Bah! Curse you wizard." You hear from inside the room. With both doors open you can now see the outline of a humanoid figure covered in glitter standing behind a desk. Empty spaces where the figure's eyes would be look out at you all.
(the desk gives partial cover for +2 AC to the figure against ranged attacks. Need a save for the velociraptor.)

With a whimper the raptor loses it's sight as Runt makes her way into the room and peers over the desk at the glittery man.
"Now would be a good time to surrender, though I would prefer you did not."
I doubt he is stupid enough to cast something without casting defensively, but just in case here is an AoO if needed.
Camil weighs his odds and assesses his inventory, finally drawing a dagger and flinging it at the spellcaster.
Kizzy will continue to focus on Detect Magic; Glitterdust was the perfect counter, but she refrains for calling out and potentially making Zherkxikas a target.
They should try and take one of them alive... if Runt will let them. "You are surrounded! Surrender and cooperate or die like your friends!" Forest shouts, taking a step forward and leveling his magical adamantine longsword at the outline of the man over the heads of Runt and the raptor, or whatever is semi-hidden there. Unexpected by Forest, a narrow silver beam fires from the end of his sword, vaguely impacting nearish to the glitter-dusted foe. Forest nearly drops the sword, an odd tingling running up his sword arm. "Eh?" He grunts, looking perpexled at the sword, then to
Isabella. "What did you do to this sword?"
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Camil's dagger clips the man on the shoulder. Then the glittering hollow man shakes its head as if warding off something after Forest speaks. With a hiss he slashes at Runt. She moves to block but it was a feint and with a flourish he brings the blade into a devastating stab (dmg 20).

Really just looking for the type so I can use bane.
Note that it is not my turn so queue this up for when Runt has an action.
"Have it your way." Forest pushes whatever had just happened with his sword aside, steps up into the remaining space in the room, and stabs at the outline of the cultist. He had his chance to surrender.
"Forest... maybe just bash him in the head? Might be able to learn some things" he suggests. "Unless someone here can speak with dead?"
Isabella moves in closer to the rest of the team, waiting for an opportunity to present itself. She gives Lavanor a touch of guidance for his arrows.

Kizzy continues to concentrate on her Detect Magic. Knowing the others should be able to handle the sparkley caster.
Kizzy can obviously see the invisibility spell and the glitterdust spell auras on the figure as well as shield of faith. Lavanor fires off a torrent of arrows but they are all deflected by some invisible field, likely said shield of faith. Meanwhile Scout stands his ground guarding Lavanor.

I had him shoot and he missed everything, the dice roller was on a roll in a bad way. New round
Runt activates her bane ability (on elves) and really lets him have it this time.
Raptor
The raptor tears a new one into the desk.
Camil downs a potion and spits at the glittering elf, a sticky, tar-like substance coats the spellcaster.
