Roscoe smiled and looked at Kokam, "See you bottom." The halfling seemed driven a fire built in his eyes. He made to his feet and ran along one of the rafters a few steps before taking a leap.
Its clear that the halfling intended to some how nimbly use the chandelier to make some sort of heroic entrance. Clearly the halfling failed. Following a god who took the Test of the Star Stone on a drunken dare is clearly in the stars for this one.
Whatever nimble and dashing entrance Roscoe intended ended when his hand clearly missed the chandelier cord. The remnant of the rafters creaked and rattled but the loudest sound was the air rushing from the halfling's lungs as landed on the chandelier itself, the thick beam in the center of the light fixture caught him in the gut. "Hough."
With his legs dangling the chandelier spins like a playground wagon wheel swing. "Screw it. A little help here." He calls out half in prayer.
A white hot burst of flame flashes near the second cultist.

OOC: Loved it!
Going against the rules and giving you another inspiration roll and halfing that damage you auto-inflicted.
I intend to move things along in a bit...

Roscoe kicks his feet to keep chandelier turning when the fleeing cultist goes to flee as the absurd mobile turns he calls out. "Stick around horn lover." He pulls a small pin he sticks in the leather behind his shield and sticks back in place.
Not wanting to stay dangling the halfling reaches for the cord that is used to raise and lower the light fixture and used it to shimmy down.
Using the Attack action, you can make a Special melee Attack to shove a creature, either to knock it prone or push it away from you. If you’re able to make multiple attacks with the Attack action, this Attack replaces one of them.
The target must be no more than one size larger than you and must be within your reach. Instead of Making an Attack roll, you make a Strength (Athletics) check contested by the target’s Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check (the target chooses the ability to use). If you win the contest, you either knock the target prone or push it 5 feet away from you.
With a roar the Ulfen slams his shield into the cultist, attempting to drive him off he's off his feet and knock him to the ground, and then moves to the middle of room, spear held ready to either throw or stab.
Chew on that demon sucker!
For a moment Kokam was sure that Roscoe has said that he could see her bottom, and looked back in case her breeches had split. Then she realized that he meant to see her down below on the floor.
Grinning , she watched his advance out onto the chandelier, then winced in sympathy as his plan for derring-do fell apart.
Once she was certain he was more-or-less alright, she jumped down to track down the cultist fleeing down the stairs...
Once she's come within range of the cultist she strikes!
She skewers the cultist with her spear, a spurt of blood erupting from his back! The she spins, her leg striking out in a blur, her foot connecting with the cultists ribs, breaking bones around the spear!
Stella wasn't sure what exactly it was, maybe it was the fact that the group finally had a clear goal, or maybe it was just the fact that their journey underground had hardened them and made them work like 5 parts of a well oiled machine. Whatever it was, it seemed that the group was fighting at a higher level than they were before; Well maybe except Roscoe she thinks humorously to herself as she watched the gnome "ride" a chandelier to the ground. Conjuring a ball of flame in her hand, Stella walked forward and casually dropped it on the cultists face engulfing it in fire before stepping forward into the tower ready for whoever lurked below.
Quickly, to the stairs... let's get upon them before they know we're here, he says striding forward.
"Would it be better to have them come to us?" Stella asks the group as she follows the others towards the top of the stairs.
They'll dig in like a tick or escape via tunnels we didn't know existed. We need to seize the initiative - speed and aggression is key, he says heading down to the door.
Kokam looked up at the other assembling at the top of the stair, "I heard nothing...I think we've caught them unawares."
She stepped over the skewered cultist, pulling her bloody spear from his body and approaches the door...listening...

Damon deferred to Kokam's suggestion, but incorporated Hallvardr's as well, saying, "Good, let us move forward through the door quietly and quickly, that we may capitalize on our advantage." Looking to Stella, he added, "This will be a good choke point if we need to fall back, but it looks like we need to take the fight to the cultists for the moment."
Nodding to Kokam, he invited her to quietly open the door so they might see what is beyond, but also wordlessly offered to take point if she should desire it instead.
Kokam steps quietly up to the door, and attempts to push it open. Finding resistance, she hears the demonic language being uttered on the other side.
She took a step back, then looked back at the others ,whispering "Someone is on the other side...sounds like casting a spell!"
Then she turned back to the door and with a rush of power, kicked it, and whomever was on the other side, down!
or
Hallvardr could feel his blood warming with anticipation for combat... truly Gorum was with him!
With a practiced heave of shoulder and arm muscles, the throws his spear past Kokam into the foe...
or
As soon as Kokam kicks the door open, Stella launches a ball of fire into the opening hoping to catch an enemy unawares.
OOC: some of your actions require an enemy so may not go off just as Kokam kicks the door.
My stance is always to roll initiative before hostilities start, especially in this case since everyone is aware of something on the other side of the door.
Recapping now.

OOC: you can use your last rolls.
If I don't recap early today then it will be tomorrow evening.

Quickly entering the next space, Stella threw her fireball at the first enemy she saw . As it flew through the air and smacked woman directly in the face, Stella yelled "Take that!" as she waited for the others to stream into the room
Roscoe prays a moment "Feel blessed friends like you had bit more to drink than you should." He moves to the top of the stairs shield up inviting the warriors past him to face down their foes.
Roscoe smiled and looked at Kokam, "See you bottom."
Kokam ignored the cultists and raced to engage the sorcerer, knowing from previous experience how dangerous they can be. She's confident her friends can handle the cultists...
Leaping over the nearby table, Kokam's face was rigid with concentration as she digged deep into her newfound well of power...
Her aim was true with her spear, gouging a bloody path down the sorcerer's arm, but the two following spinning kicks were rushed , missing badly.
Her aim was true with her spear, gouging a bloody path down the sorcerer's arm, and lashing out sideways with a brutal kick to the tiefling's hip. Her second kick however, missed badly.
The Viking hurled his spear at the tiefling, striking his shoulder...
Roll from before

Off balance after trying to help open the door, Damon reacted more slowly than Kokam, but heard her scream soon after she rushed in. Stepping down to the bottom of the stairs, he finds his way blocked by a burned cultist and swipes at him with Radiance, hoping to continue moving to aid Kokam after slaying the interposing enemy.
Slashing down the pesky enemy in a spray of blood, Damon continued into the room towards his downed friend, exclaiming, "Kokam, No!"
Something to consider, GM--If Kokam's scale activated Shield on her this round, those magic missiles would have fizzled...
OOC: I have been keeping the scale as one time thing. Only one attack per round. I'll explain that in the Campaign info tab.
