Aglaeca focuses himself and begins casting a spell, the dark servant standing on the pews closest to him tries to use his distraction to his advantage but falls short of striking the Tiefling. Moments later a blast shoots from out of the pews and hits another robed servant square in the chest.
The OA on aglaeca did not hit, D3 takes 14 damage from the blast.
Suddenly throughout the room the rest of the robed humans separate from each other and do their best to surround the adventurers.
D1: F1 to H2
D2: D3 to C3, pushed to E3 from Bairwins attack
D3: D4 to F6, avoiding OA
D4: N/A
Bairwin: N/A
The first dark servant pulls out a shadowy blade and manages to jab Karn who doesn't feel anything at first but can feel something brewing from within.
The next human moves behind Sturdy and tries his best to stab him with his own shadow blade but is unable to find the Goliath in the darkness.
This is why he wasn't a marksman in his career.
Across the room, two dark servants are cornering the tiefling. While one of them is still reeling from his previous wounds and is unable to hit anything, the other manages to stick Aglaeca with his short sword.
"I will make my last gestures of devotion to Shar worthy!"
Bairwin calls out and releases a darkness from his quarterstaff which utterly passes over Sturdy and finds its home with the dark servant standing immediately behind. He instantly reaches for his eyes as he is thrown backwards and blinded.
-Karn takes 3 damage which is sucked up by his 5 temp hp, but he does take an ongoing 5 Necrotic (SE)
-Aglaeca takes 7 Damage
-D2 takes 4 and is blinded to end bairwins next turn.
Quinn fires another arrow at the cultist as he continues to hum a tune.
The arrow sticks right into the hood of the robe, dropping the reaper to his knees before he falls dead on the floor.
As spikes tear from the ground "Sturdy" manages to climb up onto one as it lifts him a little bit off the ground, unharmed. The cult leader in front of him however did not have them same luck, it is in fact a rather gruesome scene as his body lay impaled.
Verjack's eyes flare as the wall continues to shine. With a wave of his staff, a burst of light covers the tiefling and his enemies.
Light sears into the cultist humans, it is clear that one of them is not handling his wounds well.
Karn dexterously moves around the dark blade wielding priest, even as the young rogue feels dark energies grip his soul, to place the dark priest between himself and Aldric. Then, in a dazzling display of handwork, Karn lashes out at the priest with his shortsword.
Flank Attack:1d20+10=21 Sly Flourish damage:1d6+5=6 sneak damage:2d6=7
Even as the rogue slips around the robed human, he is able to knick him with his short sword.
OA
Moments later the cultist receives a painful retaliation from Karn's blade.
Aldric swings his mace at the nearest cultist while taking a defensive position, but swings wide of his target.
The swing of the cleric's holy weapon falls short of hitting the cultist and his gaze still shifts back and forth between the adventurer's on each side of him.
In the aisle a dark servant hops down off the pew in front of Aldric and swings at him with his short sword, but the sword slips off of Aldric and does him no harm.
The second dark servant fumbles around the Aisle without his sight.
Further in the room arguments can be heard, "You go after 'im" "No you go after him!" "I've got a bad feeling in my stomach, something's just not right about that tieflin'" After their bickering they notice that the Tiefling is moving away and with relief they stand their ground and swing their swords to try to harm him.
Vs. Aldric AC (1d20+7=16, 1d6+1=4)
Vs Aglaeca AC (1d20+7=25, 1d6+1=7, 1d20+7=22, 1d6+1=2)
D1 shifts closer to Aldric, H3
Aglaeca takes 9 Damage
"You have more to do yet, tiefling.", says Quinn as he fires an arrow at the injured cultist.
The arrow flies towards the cultist and sticks into the back of the pew.
Verjack brandishes his staff and two bolts of lightning strike the cultists.
This once peaceful, albeit evil cult shrine is now covered in vines that are tearing from the ground, light that is searing through the cultists and the tide of this battle stands heavily in favor of the adventurers as these attacks successfully hit one after another.
Moving to once more flank the dark cultist, Karn lashes out with his blade while unsuccessfully trying to fight off the necromatic energy which was eating at him.
The room is hit with a flurry of activity as Karn runs along the pew launching himself into an attack on one of the cultists. As he does so another robed figure reaches over and cuts a small wound into the rogue. Sturdy is quick to retaliate.
OA vs. Karn AC (1d20+7=19, 1d6+1=5)
1d20+9=23, 1d10+5=10 Sturdy's OA on D2
Aldric swings his mace at the bloodied cultist in front of him.
Aldric's mace catches the cultist' jaw and he spits blood into the air, it is nearly enough to bring him down but his devotion is strong.
The blast hits the cultist square in his chest and his body falls limp over the pew as it has finally taken as much as it can handle.
The cultist nearby moves to extract revenge on Aglaeca but misses him with his sword.
The other two left in the room however are able to cut their targets nicely.
Quinn fires another arrow at the cultists.
The arrow from Quinn flies through the air and just barely misses the cultist he was aiming for.
Sturdy however, makes his attack with ease and the cultist before him looks very close to falling.
Verjack taps his staff and the wall continues to shine. Turning his attention to the darkfriends, a blast of light shoots from his staff.
Light sears into the cultist and drops him to floor, "Shar will avenge their deaths!" The other cultists cry out.
Karn hurls a dagger at his enemy and it comes no where close, it's the possible outcome of his finally overcoming the necrotic evil from within.
Aldric raises his holy symbol and sends a bolt of radiant energy at one of the cultists.
Aglaeca shifts to D3. Decidedly avoiding the light.
Shoots eldritch pain at D4
12 +2 from aldric = 14 vs reflex
8 damage if it hits.
I also curse d2, +1 to ac until the begining of my next turn.
The bolt of radiant light sears the cultist and he begins to look very wounded. However, The efforts of the tiefling don't seem to have any effect on the cultist.
Wounded as they look the cultists seem bent on fighting on for their cause as they swarm Sturdy, Only one of them successfully hurts the goliath
Quinn fires another arrow at the cultist. "He's going to leave his right arm exposed! Take that opportunity!"
Quinn's prophecy is in fact true, as the cultist falls dead to the ground his arm is left exposed out of his robes.
Sturdy's attack hits hard and has the cultist reeling on his feet.
Verjack steps into the light. Embracing the glow, Verjack fires a beam of light at the last cultist; HOWEVER, it misses terribly.
The searing light does indeed come no where near the cultist and he sneers "You can kill all of us, but you'll never destroy our cause."
Karn hops over the pew, behind the last cultist and sticks his dagger into his back. The man immediately slumps to the floor, dead.
The adventurers stand in a now empty temple of Shar, the only activity is the eerie purple light that continues to flicker.
