Edrakk, in one swift motion, grabs a vial of poison and throws it at the elf in front of him before trying to make his way through the crowd, patching himself up as he does.
Chance heals Edrakk and begins singing, and he finds that his voice carries further in this area!
As Edrakk grabs the blight bomb, Orange lashes out at him!
plus 1d6 2d6 persistent bleed
Orange slashes at Edrakk before he manages to take out the blight bomb. Edrakk, then disengages, trying to heal himself, but not quite closing his bleeding wounds!
All of the Smileys pull out halberds brace for impact, desperately trying to hold their ground against the panicking crowd!
The two Smileys near Vitalis (#9 and #10) instead act in “self-defense” by attacking Vitalis!
Chaos ensues. Perhaps it is from an unfortunate missed swing against Vitalis, perhaps it is from being trampled by the panicking crowd, but whatever the case, people die in the chaos.

Event
==============
Wincing in anticipation of the coming pain, Jisara nonetheless retreats backwards through the crowd toward Vitalis. Standing next to him, she sends out a wave of magical terror to run through their elven-seeming attackers.
Jisara moves away from the elf, who slashes out at her in retaliation!
As Jisara’s blood trickles down, she glares at her attacker with anger!
She then unleashes an enchantment against all the white-haired elves!
When Jisara unleashes her magic, though, she notices something interesting. The elves’ features seem to fade away, revealing what they truly are: masked bearded devils, using illusions to appear as these elves.
Orange, completely terrified of Jisara, tries to get away from her as expediently as possible. And what better way to do that than to teleport a mile away? Orange casts a 5th-level dimension door to get as far away from Jisara as humanly possible!
The remaining “elves,” however, are still in the fight. Now that Chance has made his position known, Yellow Strides through the crowd to threaten both Chance and Edrakk, then unleashes a spin of attacks!
plus 1d6 persistent bleed
Green likewise Strides forward and attacks the flanked Edrakk.
Blue Strides toward Jisara and attacks!
Blue then lashes out at Jisara with their beard (though from the others’ perspectives, the “elf” is attacking with its hair).
Vitalis interposes, completely negating the damage to Jisara and striking out against the elf!
Purple Strides forward and attacks Vitalis and Jisara!
plus 1d6 persistent bleed
Barzillai growls. ”You will not get away so easily!” He moves across the stage until he comes next to one of the Smileys, when he Shoves that Smiley with his mace!
Screams of terror come from above as the winged elf woman slaughters those on the balcony!
The flying, white-haired elf draws back her bow and unleashes an unearthly volley of arrows into the crowd below!

Event
==============
Chance’s voice booms out to Edrakk from the other side of the yellow white-haired “elf.”
The invisible gnome squeezes through the panicked crowd to get a few feet away before he turns visible again, then voice still booming, the gnome sings out,
Chance reappears, grinning and twirling his staff.
Vitalis turns and shouts at the "elven" attacker behind him to ward him off. Then he attacks the guards blocking the door again.
Vitalis takes a moment in the chaos to glance at some of the other attackers and puzzle what is going on.
Vitalis scares Purple and attacks #10, knocking out the Smiley in one strike! He then switches to #9 and damages the Smiley.
However, there are some discrepancies. For one, their attacks certainly carry an unholy essence to it, which is more than a little suspicious for a celestial! Jisara’s claim that these are devils in disguise is becoming more and more plausible.
Chance moves out of the way, and this causes Yellow to lash out at him!
plus 1d6 persistent bleed
Chance then ends his invisibility by summoning forth the facsimile of a poltergeist to affect Green!
Hearing Jisara’s claim that these are devils, Edrakk knows that his poisons are going to be of minimal help. He Strides away, triggering an attack from Green.
Now feeling less than ideal, Edrakk pulls out a moderate elixir of life and drinks it.
The Smileys all continue to hold the line. #9 attacks Vitalis in self-defense.
The chaos of the situation continues to take the lives of the guests.

==============
Jisara, surrounded on all sides, takes a bit of a gamble. She casts shield , casts electric arc.
Yellow, seeing Chance casting spells, Strides over to him and attacks!
plus 1d6 2d6 persistent bleed
But Chance suddenly disappears and reappears, being much less affected by the barbazu’s attack!
Yellow then uses Wriggling Beard!
Perhaps strangely, the barbazu’s beard carries bacteria that originated from the first circle of Hell!
Green glares at Jisara and worms its way into her mind.
Green then Strides over to Jisara and attacks her!
Purple just slices out against Vitalis and Jisara!
Vitalis then intercepts to protect Jisara and condemn the devil with holy energy!
plus 4 8 persistent good
With the critical specialization, Vitalis forcefully moves Purple to the northeast and out of the way from Jisara and himself. Purple then Strides back to its previous position and slices at Vitalis!
Barzillai pushes his way through the crowd.
Screams continue to echo from the balcony above.
The flying bralani continues to shoot an absurd number of arrows at the crowd below!

Event
==============
Chance shakes his head to clear it after his sudden teleportation.
The fight has barely started, I can’t be sweating that much yet. So why does my shirt feel so wet?
That’s when the pain from his wounds registers and the gnome realizes that the elf’s scimitar - Did Jisara say these are devils? - had scored a deep, ragged cut across his chest, and the front of his clothes are already soaked in blood.
Turning, he glares at Barzillai. Oh, bother, he’s a lot closer than I thought he was.
The invisible gnome squeezes through the panicked crowd, stopping just a few feet away at the edge of the orchestra pit.
The bard glances down and sees the bodies that have fallen from the balcony, riddled with arrows.
Chances twirls his hand in the air and snaps his fingers at the “azata.”
Vitalis shouts another taunt at the other elf. Then attacks the remaining guard blocking the doorway.
Vitalis scares Yellow and attacks #9!
Vitalis swings and downs Purple!
Chance moves over…
Chance then points his finger skyward and a wave of magical energy surrounds the lillend azata!
The Lillend’s eyes go wide as suddenly a portal of pure hellfire opens up and consumes the lillend before dissipating!
Edrakk pulls out a dread ampoule and throws it at Yellow!
plus 2 mental splash
Edrakk then pulls out an elixir of life and drinks it.
”Release switch isn’t working! Cockatrices are a no-go!”
The Smileys continue to brace themselves against the panicking crowd.
The crowd continues to panic, and the ensuing chaos continues to take lives.

Event
==============
Chance waves The Dischordance in the air (probably being careful not to hit any of the panicked civilians at the edge of the orchestra pit), his triumphant, magically augmented shouts echoing throughout the Opera House.
Jisara throws a jolt of electricity leaping between two of the closest enemies, then follows it up with a bit of healing magic for Vitalis. She grits her teeth in anticipation of the almost certain retaliatory strike.
Jisara casts a spell.
But Vitalis intercepts to protect her!
plus 4 persistent good
Jisara then begins healing Vitalis.

Event
==============
Vitalis raises his steel boot and kicks with his full weight, intent on shattering the foyer door off its hinges.
Vitalis sees Thrune strike Chance down and he gasps with panic. "Chance!" I need to get over there!
Vitalis pushes his way back towards the orchestra pit and takes a swing at the enemy along the way.
Edrakk quickly throws a bomb at the "elf" attacking Chance, hoping to muddle its mind. Then he turns to the Bralani in the air and starts trying to figure out what to do, and instinctively waves his fan in its direction. To his shock, it causes a massive gust of wind to blast forth at the bralani.
Vitalis rushes forward and kicks the door clean open, causing a rush of people to flow outside. Unfortunately, the doors themselves are only so big, so it’s only so much help with a singular exit.
Vitalis then moves over and attacks Green, cutting down the “elf.”
Chance, not wanting to be trampled by the chaotic mob, Stands up.
plus 1d6 persistent bleed
Chance, now on his last legs, deems it unwise to stay next to the elf and the Lord-Mayor, thus he casts dimension door to teleport to be right next to the door (and Vitalis).
Edrakk throws a bomb at the elf, but misses.
The flying bralani glares at Edrakk as she realizes that this bird is a nuisance.
The Smileys continue to hold the line. Notably, however, two Smileys exit from the already-open door to the assembly room and into the Foyer, shocked to see the crowd flowing out from the low seating!
With the southern door open, the crowd violently scrambles to leave, some of the more selfish guests pushing their way through.
And while the open door provides a means of escape, the door itself is only so wide, and the panicking crowd can’t exactly leave in an orderly fashion when their lives are at risk.

Event
==============
Jisara gives Vitalis another weary but grateful smile, then turns her healing magics to the suddenly appearing Chance. With her other hand, she hurls another jolt of electricity at the closest devil.
Jisara begins healing Chance and sends a jolt at the devil.
And Yellow is knocked unconscious and falls down into the orchestra pit!
Suddenly, something comes out from the orchestra pit! A well-dressed, long-haired woman quite literally Climbs up from out of the orchestra pit! The woman glares over at Edrakk and opens her mouth, and inside Edrakk sees a pair of needle-like canine teeth. She’s a vampire!
The vampire woman swipes her claw at Edrakk!
The woman then gracefully spins and swipes at Edrakk again!
Barzillai grits his teeth as Chance teleports away. ”Did you think it would be that simple?!” Barzillai begins an incantation as he ALSO casts a 4th-level dimension door to appear right next to Vitalis and Chance! The Lord-Mayor’s devil mask glares down at Chance as he swings his mace at the gnome!
From out of nowhere, one of the partygoers—a man wearing a mask resembling a vanth psychopomp—runs and leaps out to intercept Barzillai’s attack on Chance! Instead of hitting the gnome, Barzillai’s mace hits this guest! The force of the blow knocks the man’s mask off, revealing it to be Rexus! The PCs hear the sound of Rexus’s shattering ribs as he falls to the ground, his formal clothes igniting from Barzillai’s flaming mace!
Rexus uses what remains of his strength to crawl against the wall so that he’s not completely trampled by the fleeing crowd!
plus 4 persistent good
Barzillai’s skin burns as the holy energy of Shelyn surrounds him!

"I'd normally make some quip here, but you've gone too far Barzillai. The blood of all these innocents is on your hands. This ends here now!"
Vitalis smashes Thrune with his halberd over and over and sweeps him away from the doorway. Then he gives Jisara a bit of a boost with lay on hands.
Vitalis slices deep into Barzillai before healing Jisara.
"I'd normally make some quip here, but you've gone too far Barzillai. The blood of all these innocents is on your hands. This ends here now!"
Barzillai spits out blood. ”You lie about that which the citizens can see with their own eyes?! The forces of Elysium have assaulted us! The blood of the innocents fall upon the anarchy of the Silver Ravens!”
The Big Bralani Flies over and down to get out of the area of the gust of wind, then fires arrows at Edrakk!

==============
Rexus! I hope he’s not dead!
Chance slaps a bandage on one of the worst of his wounds and groans in pain, then straightens up to glare at their host. Voice still enhanced, the bard clutches at his broken ribs and roars defiance at Thrune.
I sure hope Jisara’s right about this! That did look like Hellfire, though - or at least some kind of scary fire!
The gnome notices the burns Barzillai suffered from Vitalis’s halberd and breaks into a bloody grin.
Chance reaches up his sleeve and pulls out a glass vial. For a moment, he admires the way the liquid inside catches the light, then glares back at the High Inquisitor and lobs the vial at his face.
Chance slaps a bandage on one of the worst of his wounds and groans in pain, then straightens up to glare at their host. Voice still enhanced, the bard clutches at his broken ribs and roars defiance at Thrune.
"I was wondering if something like that was the case. G-good to know!"
Turning his attention back to the vampire in front of him, he takes a step back and draws a pair of orange vials. "N-not sure how effective these'll be against devils or demons or whatever, but I don't see why they wouldn't hurt you." Without another moment's hesitation, he lobs them directly at her.
Chance patches himself up and throws a bottle of holy water at Barzillai, which causes smoke to rise from his flesh as it seems to burn his skin!
Edrakk throws two alchemist’s fires at the vampire!
The Smileys continue to brace against the crowd. Of note, #15 and #16 both make their way to help Barzillai.

==============
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Jisara's eyes widen in realization, and she shouts to Chance. "Hit him again, Chance! That shouldn't have hurt him at all, but he must've turned himself into some kind of half-devil!"
She taps into her patron's well of power for just a little bit more energy before throwing another jolt of electricity arcing between Barzillai and one of his approaching goons. Almost there, she thinks, gritting her teeth.
Jisara taps into her focus with her familiar and arcs electricity between Barzillai and one of the Smileys.
The vampire shrieks in pain as she is hit by Edrakk’s bombs, but some of the pain is quickly healed. She Strides forward and attacks Edrakk!
The vampire’s claws then Grab Edrakk while hungrily staring at his neck! As the vampire pulls Edrakk close, she breaks her gaze from Edrakk’s neck to look the tengu in the eye and desperately whispers ”Help…me…”
Barzillai shakes off the holy water on him. ”So be it…”
Barzillai glares at Chance and swings his mace!
Vitalis interposes to protect Chance!
Barzillai then swings again!
”Tch!” Barzillai finally Casts a Spell, and Chance realizes that he somehow cast a 2nd-level invisibility far more quickly than even the bard can.

Event
==============
Chance reaches up his sleeve, draws out one of the wands Jisara made for him, and casts a spell.
If Chance can see Barzillai (for example, if he's right where he was a moment ago and appears on the map), Chance points at the spot and shouts,
If Barzillai moves away, Chance calls out his location step by step.
Edrakk cocks his head at the vampires plea as he processes it before attempting to break free.
Edrakk takes a step back, trying to patch up the newer wounds that have appeared, before quickly drawing another vial and throwing it at the vampire, causing an explosion of what looks to be tree sap. "S-sorry, I'll try and help in a minute, I just need to keep you from attacking me..." He trails off, trying to figure out how to make an adequate apology in this scenario.
◆
He attempts to patch himself up from his newly opened wounds.
Chance gives himself the ability to see invisible things.
Edrakk tries and fails to escape from the vampire’s grasp, so he patches up his wounds.
The Smileys continue bracing for impact. #15 and #16, however, both attack Vitalis!
More people are trampled in an attempt to get through the single point of escape from the room.

Event
==============
Jisara casts shield, then casts glitterdust.
The vampire grabbing on to Edrakk continues to desperately look at him.
”…please…Jilia…”
But something overtakes her and she lunges to Drink Edrakk’s Blood!
The woman sinks her fangs into Edrakk’s neck and drinks his blood!
The vampire’s pupils dilate! She lunges once more to Drink Blood from the other side of Edrakk’s neck!
The vampire hesitates. The strategically sound plan would be to maintain the grab on Edrakk, but she overcomes this by giving in to the only thing more powerful: her hunger.
Barzillai barks ”I will not have you slander my good name!”
Barzillai then attacks Chance!
Thrune then Strides over to threaten Jisara and Vitalis.

Event
==============
Vitalis swings twice at Barzillai Thrune and then twice more at the guards in the doorway.
Vitalis attacks Barzillai, and on his second swing, he embeds his halberd straight into the Lord-Mayor’s chest! Barzillai’s vision blurs as he drops his mace and falls unconscious!
Vitalis then redirects his next attacks at the two Smileys near him, dropping #16 in the process.
The flying bralani draws back her bow in preparation to shoot another volley of arrows down at the crowd, but she then sees Barzillai fall to Vitalis. She quickly shifts her angle and fires directly at Vitalis!
She then Flies move over Barzillai’s body!

Event
==============
The vampire grabbing on to Edrakk continues to desperately look at him.”…please…Jilia…”
"J-Jilia... Bainilus?"
Edrakk stumbles away from the vampire, light-headed from the blood loss, and makes his way through the croud to Jisara, trying to at least patch up her wounds, as he's done about as much as he can for himself. Then, hoping to keep it from reaching him again, he throws a tanglefoot bag at the vampire, trying to slow her down. "I'm sorry, I-I'm sorry, I'll... I'll try and help in a second, I just..." He turns back to Jisara. "Vampire... being controlled somehow. Not sure."
Edrakk runs away from the vampire, heals Jisara, and throws a tanglefoot bag.
The Smileys on the ground floor all watch as Barzillai falls to the ground, and when they do they IMMEDIATELY abandon the plan and try to save their own skins.

Big Bralani [flying; 15’ above ground]
Edrakk (-33) {resist fire 10; +2 vs mental; drained 3} [walking
Event
==============
Vitalis leaps into the air and swings at the flying outsider. He lands a step closer and uses his remaining attacks against the vampire.
He shouts out in case his ally "Smiley" or anyone else is listening. "Thrune is down and the guards are fleeing. If anyone could get some more doors upon, it'd be appreciated!"
For a few moments, the gnome's body lies unmoving on the floor, flames licking over his clothes, next to the equally still Lord Mayor. Suddenly his eyes snap open wide and his latest wounds begin to close.
Chance inhales, a ragged, pain-filled gasp, and groans. Thanks, Jisara! He turns his head slightly and lets out a quiet whine before realizing that Barzillai Thrune is, if anything, in worse shape than he is. Thanks, Vitalis!
Although the battle has moved at least a little past him, the terrified crowd still presses all around him trying to escape. Worried about being trampled, he starts to sit up, then sinks back to the floor with pained grunt. Shaking his head, he looks up, hoping to spot one of his friends to let them know he’s alive (albeit barely). Instead, he sees the Big Phony Bralani, flying almost directly overhead, another deadly arrow nocked in her bow.
Putting pressure on what he is reasonably sure is a fractured tibia with one hand, he uses the other to give the Big “Bralani” a dismissive wave. His voice is still amplified, but rasps like sandpaper dragged across stone.
Chance tries to banish the Big Bralani.
He then Takes Cover.
Vitalis attacks the vampire.
The flying bralani glares down at Chance as she pulls back her bowstring and fires!

Big Bralani [flying; 15’ above ground]
Event
==============
Edrakk starts running over to Chance and starts fixing his wounds once he gets there. Once he's satisfied with the treatment, he wipes his brow with his glove, causing his glove to start glowing and fix his own wounds as well.
Jisara slams her staff against the floor of the hall, channeling her focus through it and into a club dropped by one of Thrune's goons. It hurtles through the air at the fake bralani with bone-breaking force.
Edrakk heals both Chance and himself.
Jisara attacks the flying bralani, though the attack does not feel as effective as it could have been.
The vampire slashes out at Jisara!
The vampire then Grabs Jisara and desperately whispers ”Please…Help…” But her animalistic hunger takes over and she tries to Drink Jisara’s Blood!

Event
==============
Vitalis ducks into the foyer and makes a sharp turn through the assembly room to try to get another pair of doors open.
"How!?" Jisara asks, panic rising into her voice.
Chance hops to his feet. He sucks in a breath and winces as his leg twinges, but the medic's quick work wrapping a tight bandage around the break stabilizes it enough to hold some of his weight.
He glares up at the phony (he hopes) bralani again and starts to shake a fist, but stops and gets his pain and outrage under control. He glances at the vampire - who seems to be acting a little weird, but he can't hear her whispers and whatever she's saying, she keeps attacking his friends - and instead booms out,
[/ooc]
Vitalis makes a beeline for the assembly room.
Chance sends a sound burst at the flying bralani.
The flying bralani growls and does another Furious Fusillade pointed straight down!
plus 1d10 persistent fire
She appears to be a moroi vampire (the “classic” vampire), but is specifically a spawn. That is to say, she was turned by another, more powerful vampire, and is forcibly under that vampire’s control.
Interestingly, though, vampires are not easily destroyed, requiring them to be staked through the heart, decapitated, AND anointed with holy water to truly kill them (or being out in sunlight). As such, ironically, the best way TO help her would be to “kill” her, as she’ll just stay as a “corpse” until she’s placed back in her coffin for an hour.

Event
==============
Edrakk steps back into the foyer, drawing an unused set of reagents to create a mistform elixir and drink it, hoping that the concealment will make him more difficult to hit.
