Jennix readies an attack, firing his bow if they look like their going to attack.
The corbies indeed look angry to see intruders. Miso fires his crossbow into the mix! Jennix fires his bow but misses. The first two corbies move around the table, heading for Jennix and his tasty eyes!
The third one jumps in the air before coming down on Jennix!
He is less than graceful, however, and only gets off one swipe with his claw.
2. Dire Corbies
Perhaps we should back up to a more amiable area to trade blows. Jennix suggests.
Zack backs up and attempts to hit the corbies with a single shot through the crowded hallway.
Terflynn tries to put one of them to sleep before backing up a couple of steps and unslinging his bow.
Indeed.
Miso will back up and ready to shoot at the bird men when Jennix backs up and they are no longer in melee.
Stepping back after everyone else has, Jennix draws his blade and stabs at a corby.
Zachary and Miso fire but miss. Terflynn tries to put one of them to sleep but it shakes it off. Jennix stabs but is unsuccessful. The first corbie steps forward to claw at Jennix.
Zack sends another arrow through the packed hallway.
Terflynn draws a paper candle while trying to daze the resilient corbie.
Zachary puts down the lead corbie while another one resists Terflynn's magic.
Jennix stabs at the nearest corby before stepping back if Miso makes room.
Miso will ready an action to five-foot step up to flurry against dire corby #1.
Jennix steps forward and stabs at one of the corbies while Miso kicks twice at the other one around the corner.
Another arrow flies through the traffic.
Terflynn whispers his arcane words and hexes the next one up in line.

Jennix stabs at another corby.
Zachary misses with his arrow and Terflynn's hex doesn't seem to have caught. Jennix puts his blade through the corby, however, and opens up some more room for Miso to step in.
Miso does, in fact, five foot and flurry.

Miso's flurry takes down the last corby!
The corbies have nothing of note on them.
Jennix looks down the hallway to the south, where he is standing.
Jennix sees that the hallway winds around back into the main Feasting Hall. The small rooms appear to be bedrooms with nothing of note in them.
The party moves on and opens up a set of double doors to the south. Dozens of paintings of a towering humanoid figure with four wings, a bird's head, and a scorpion's tail decorate the walls of this room, seemingly painted in blood. Old pews sit in a line facing the eastern wall, where a hideously defaced statue of a winged woman stands.
Standing in the room is a dire corby dressed in filthy robes caked with blood.
Terflynn uses dark magic to try to lull the corbie into its final rest.
Terflynn tries to lull the corby to sleep but it is not swayed.
Waiting to see if Terflynn's hex takes effect, Jennix fires his bow if the corby remains awake.
Zach takes aim and fires to arrows at the robed corby.
Jennix fires his bow but is unsuccessful. Zachary sinks an arrow deep in the corby's gut. The corby begins to cast a spell.
The room instantly goes dark.
Terflynn draws and lights a small object from his bandolier.
"Stand back!"

Zack hangs back to see what his companion is up to.
Everyone waits to see what Terflynn is up to. Nevakali casts another spell in the darkness.
Terflynn chucks the object into the room and moves to shut the door.
"Wait for it..."

After a few seconds, a loud explosion is heard from the other room, followed by lots of cursing in Common, Abyssal, and Aklo.
The room still appears dark and no one is visible within.

It appears our only option is to wait for the creature's spell to dissipate like the morning mist in the sun.. Miso will load his crossbow and ready to fire if something threatening emerges into view.
