Nicely done everyone! After a couple close calls for Eliora, that is not how I saw things going.

Eliora reluctantly lets go of her quarry when it became evident that she couldn't weigh him down and he was heading back over the lava. She punctuates her displeasure with a roar of frustration. She then takes a few cleansing breaths and forces herself to focus on her goddess and channels her divine power through her body to disperse a piece of it into the others.
If she can’t drag him down with her, she would let go before going over the railing. Even if it means she can’t reach him…again
I think technically Anorak goes before Eliora so if you were attacking this round then you’d get the advantage, not her.
Eliora growled as Acererak tried to get away. Like a coiled snake ready to strike, her muscles tensed before launching herself into the air to grab his ankle. Her hand clasped his bony ankle with an iron grip and then she swung her sword upwards in an arc empowering it with divine energy.
Can Eliora reach Acererak? Or did he move out of her reach? And is grappling considered an attack? And if so, would the advantage cancel out her disadvantage from being exhausted?
Eliora grunts and waivers slightly as Acererak pummels her with more vile magic. She sets her jaw as the reality of her mortality sets her resolve to end this evil. If she was going to die then she would do everything possible to rid the world of Acererak. The Soulmonger may have been destroyed but if he persisted then he could make another. She tried to make her last attacks count.
If Erith’s echo is within 10ft of Eliora, even if Erith isn’t, does she get the benefit of the +2 to saving throws and other aura effects?
Thanks for the Fly! What I need to know now is do I re-roll her attacks or just ignore the last attack because she doesn't get 3 attacks? She'd still have advantage and I assume that fly would get her over there quicker so she'd have 2 attacks?
Oh! I thought it was just the one…excellent
As Eliora moved, she felt a different kind of magic flood through her body giving her unnatural speed. She let out a triumphant howl that almost sounded gleeful as she realized that she would soon be within reach of her prey. Eliora let Iomedae's righteous fury infuse her weapon as she swung at Acererak.
As soon as Mike gives the go-ahead, Eliora is off like an arrow. Her focus is completely on Acererak and this is her best chance to reach him. She has Kubazan's voice in her head, urging her to near recklessness. However, she chooses to heal some of her burns as she dashes and jumps across Caul and the Boxy four.
She started moving towards the make-shift bridge that was almost complete when she was met by fire and then lightning.
How many spells per round can he cast anyways? Sheesh. I was waiting for damage to heal Anorak with her turn since the bridge wasn’t ready
@Mike: Does your bridge get fully built this turn or does Eliora have to wait until next round to use it?
Eliora, those two athletics rolls are on the tentacles turn, to see if it grapples you. It does not, so you are fully free to act on your turn. Sweet! Thanks for letting me know. I’ll see if I can post another action tonight.
Eliora caught movement out of the corner of her eye, seeing Thip pivot towards Anorak with his bow. Horrified, the paladin wanted to throw herself in between the two but was harried by a tentacle snaking around her torso. Focusing on one of the prayer beads hanging around her neck, she released the divine power imbued within to free the archer from whatever evil caused him to turn on an ally.
She then turns her physical attention to the tentacle threatening to pull her into the lava.
I figured he’d be closer if the tentacles can reach us all. Admittedly I can’t always access Roll20 to move Eliora around…
Eliora desired above all else to be able to smite the newcomer with all her righteous wrath but alas she was unable to fly or teleport herself to another location. She searched for another way to the other balconies but it was also clear that Acererak didn't want his cylinder-thing destroyed. So she would try to help the others in destroying it and protecting the others. The voice in her head was telling her to get out on one of the struts but she could hear Anorak casting another spell behind her and remembered his warning. Eliora pulls out a special javelin and with the help of Kubazan, hurls it at the Soulmonger.
The most horrific sound emanates from the floating abomination and the paladin feels her insides clench in response.
Anorak's warning cuts through the noise of melee and Eliora momentarily moves away from the edge of the balcony because she has no desire to end up in the lava below. She was willing to put herself in danger but she wasn't suicidal. She was also grateful for the breather because her body suddenly feels like someone filled her bones with lead.
The paladin's sword cut in an arc above her head as she moved trying to catch one of the flailing tentacles with her blade.
Eliora didn't need her divine sense to recognize the touch of evil as the floating abomination came near but not close enough. She snarled as she felt energy being sucked out of her by its very presence. Growling in frustration at not being able to reach her preferred target, she lashed out at the flailing tentacles threatening the others. If the tentacles were cut off then maybe they could destroy the cylinder and free the souls. Divine power flows through Eliora and out of her sword carrying the weight of her deity in addition to her own strength. She cuts deeply into one tentacle and then uses her momentum to cut into another.
Eliora had no idea what to make of the scene before her as the door opened. She had seen horrors in her life, many of which were in the days leading up to this moment, but nothing had prepared her for this. She reached deep inside herself to touch the source of her goddess in order to gain resolve. She would most likely not survive this fight so that the others may and she was ok with that. The important thing was that she remove as much of this evil from the world as possible with her. She banged her sword against her shield and looked for her first target.
Hello everyone! I'm the paladin friend that Ang mentioned. I need to make changes to her crunch in her profile since I've scaled her up but the background would be accurate (apart from following a Pathfinder deity)
As always, you know where to find us. When you're up for gaming again, when it doesn't feel like a chore, let me know :)
Eliora started to follow the guard but informed the others first. "The coward is retreating and I hear movement in the next room. I will pursue."
The guard before her dropped as one of Kyarra's arrows sprouted from his neck. Eliora spun to face the remaining guard but spun too quickly and had a momentary episode of vertigo causing her attack to miss the guard by a lot.
Recognizing the look of the Iomedae imposters, Eliora was filled with fury and she didn't stop until her sword was buried in one of them.
Action1: Eliora's face scrunched up in deep thought, "Sounds like the dead men we saw that were shamefully dressed up like followers of Iomedae when they clearly were not. They had a bull amulet and deserved the death they received." Action 2: . Seeing that the guards still were unaware of her, Eliora decided to charge their barricade while giving her most fiercesome growl.
Action 1: Eliora was eager to keep going. "Cultists who are demon-lovers cannot be allowed a weapon. We must make sure they pay for their harmful actions. You are familiar with these cultists. How do they arm themselves?" Action 2: The half-orc looked torn with this new information. Demons needed to be killed more so than humans who worshiped them. But leaving the cultists behind them to engage the demon seemed somewhat reckless. "If the demon is on the way out, then we should destroy it then. We start with the cultists."
Eliora was still trying to piece everything together, who was in league with demons and who wasn't. "Why wait for an opportunity to leave? Why not just leave?" But time was ticking away and there wasn't any sign of the other guard who had fled. "Then tell us what to expect here so we can get on with it. The guard who fled this way, is he raising the alarm with the demon-lovers?"
Eliora kept her sword readied but asked more questions rather than attacking. "Where are these demon-lovers? Will you lead us to them so that they can be punished? If you do not fight with them, you have nothing to fear from us."
"Are with them, with the demon-lovers?" Eliora looked quite offended, "A follower of Iomedae would never associate with demons! There is only one thing you do to demons and that is to kill them."
The half-orc growled her answer in response to the mongrel's question and pointed her sword at her. "I am Eliora, true servant of Iomedae. Your clan will pay for your desecration of her name. Surrender now and you may still live."
Eliora kicked the body of the lizard away from her and wiped off her sword. Any chance there's a stash of healing in here? We could use it before moving on. The half-orc prodded her wound to see if it was still bleeding or if it had stopped. "We still have a couple of healing potions on hand but I guess it couldn't hurt to look around."
Eliora growled as pain shot up her leg from the lizard's bite. She brought she sword down on its shoulder in retaliation, blood for blood.
Eliora finished off the mongrel before her by plunging her blade deep into its gut so that she could focus on the new threat that was snapping at her leg.
Eliora used her momentum from breaking down the door to propel her towards the mongrelmen. She raised her longsword and brought it down on their arm that now grasped a weapon.
Eliora moved up between the two elves and placed her hands on each of their shoulders, "No time. Iomedae will mend your wounds." The half-orc closed her eyes and channeled healing into the siblings. Her hands vibrated slightly as the healing power transferred between them.
"Better? Good. Now let's deal with whatever is making noise behind that door." Taking a run at the door, Eliora shoulder-checked the flimsy wooden door.
The half-orc bared her tusks, relishing the fight involving hand-to-hand combat rather than ranged weapons. As soon as the guards started yelling, Eliora struck with her sword with the intent on cutting them down.
Eliora dropped her pack as Kyarra collapsed beside her, "Give her a healing potion, now." Then she roared, "This true servant of Iomedae will make you pay for your actions!"
The half-orc exploded out of the wall illusion and quickly closed the distance to the mongrel guards.
Using her shield to protect herself, she swung her longsword with deadly accuracy at the first guard she came to.
Still too far to charge with her sword, Eliora opts to draw a javelin from off her back and hurl it at one of the evil mongrels working with evil cultists.
Then she continued to close the distance knowing that she was better with her sword.
