Round One: Players
Hunter falls to the ground after warning Melpomene of the impending attack.

Narrowly avoiding the attack, Melpomene moves forward to tend to the fallen sorceress.

Mai'ngor's first slash with Sinag misses, but his follow-up, inspired by Melpomene's words, finds its target, tearing the rocky flesh from the roper's body.

Sarith moves in behind the one attacking Hunter, hitting twice and tearing out chunks of stony flesh (23 and 23 vs AC. Damage: 6 and 10)

The dwarves move forward fearlessly, hacking and smashing at their foes. Two of them go for the roper holding Mai'ngor, while the other two join Sarith. The roper holding Mai'ngor takes a few good smacks (21 and 20 vs AC. Damage: 3 and 1) and the one the grabbed Hunter takes on as well (20 vs AC. Damage: 5)

Elayna holds back with the trog prisoner for a moment, though she does keep the presence of mind to draw her blade. When she sees Hunter go down, she screams in anguish and rushes forward, taking her blade in both hands and slashing at the roper. Her blade finds its mark right beside the creature's eye (23 vs AC. Damage: 7)

Round Two: Enemies
R1 continues trying to chew on Mai'ngor, clamping down hard on his flesh (18 vs AC. Damage: 22 piercing).

R2 attempts to grab hold of Elayna. She manages to avoid a couple of the creatures tendrils, but is eventually grabbed and pulled toward its mouth. She is pulled head-first into the creature's toothy maw and it clamps down on her midsection, teeth grinding away (21 vs AC. Damage: 22). Elayna screams in pain and terror as she begins being sawed in half.

As Hunter begins to wake up, she hears Elayna scream from within the mouth of the Roper and feels a headache like nothing she's ever known. She almost loses consciousness again, but manages to stay awake.

The piercers begin crawling away from your group, heading toward the walls.

Hunter reels from the whiplash of pain, warmth, and pain once more. All she can do is wrap arcane energy around her muttered words and hurl six magical darts at the roper gnawing upon Elayna.

Mai'ngor watches helplessly as Elayna is devoured by the roper. The tikbalang knows a similar fate could befall him unless he slays this monster right now! Drawing his other blade, he slashes desperately at the roper.

Seeing another of her companions being attacked by the horrid creature, white flames begin dancing in Melpomene's eyes. She begins singing a song of vengeance and wrath, and the flames gather about her into ghostly humanoids with feathering wings, that strike out at the roper and other creatures nearby.

Round Two: Players
Hunter's magical darts slam one after another into the roper gnawing on Elayna. The creatures looks like it's getting weaker, but still continues to chew on Elayna. As the spell goes off, her magic goes wild. She can feel it in her core, pulsating and humming beneath her skin. It finally snaps and she feels her form get lighter and her feet lift off the ground.

Mai'ngor launches a flurry of attacks on the roper that's attacking him, carving chunks of its body away.

Melpomene summons the aid of spirit guardians and they begin attacking all the enemies in the room. All of the foes are battered by the creatures and the piercers all succumb to the attacks, dying on the floor.

Sarith continues attacking the roper, but his attacks can't get past the creature's hard skin.

The dwarves continue their attacks, but none of them are able to do anything.

Round Three: Enemies
R1 continues biting at Mai'ngor, chewing on his leg while the tikbalang beats on his back (23 vs AC. Damage: 22 piercing)

R2 spits Elayna out, covered in blood and unmoving. It turns to Sarith and goes after him next. Sarith dances back away from the roper, poking at it to spur it on, "Get her out of here!" he says to Hunter, clearly referring to Elayna.

"This is like Hobren's hut all over again," Hunter says under her breath. She clumsily tries swimming in mid-air to gain any distance before actually trying to think about moving, and realizes that her mental concentration is required to control her flight. She gathers the fallen Elayna in her arms and flies her away from the roper.
OOC:
Action to grapple Elayna, then moving half-speed 30 feet away. I'll risk any Opportunity Attacks from the roper's bite, and will likely use a Reaction for either Shield or Bend Luck if that happens.

Looking at the condition of her compatriots, Xeliss moves closer to them, snapping her fingers at those who look on the verge of death. "Get yourselves together!" Once she's within range of the roper harassing Mai'ngor, she jumps off the golem, shifting into her Earth Elemental form and takes two giant swings at it. The golem turns toward the other creature, punching it twice.

Hunter swoops in and drags the unconscious Elayna away from the battle and to safety.

Mai'ngor finally manages to cut down the roper holding him. He feels its tendrils fall from his body and can finally move once again.

Everyone feels the magical healing of Xeliss wash over them. She then moves to Roper 2 and begins pounding on it alongside her shield guardian companion.

Melpomene pulls back away from her enemy and into safety.

Between Sarith and the dwarves, they manage to finally kill the final roper.

Hunter cradles Elayna in her hands. "That had to hurt," she says.

I have some potions of healing. Who looks worse for wear?

Hunter is at 29/62 after the healing spells from Melpomene and Xeliss.

At Hunter's words, Elayna opens an eye slightly and smiles, "You're ok..." she says before falling unconscious once more.
OOC:
She's fine, no danger of death, just tired and hurting
Nov 21, 2018 4:44 pm
Hunter looks around the area, refocusing on the party. "Are we safe here, or should we press on?" She absently brushes Elayna's hair with her fingers while listening to everyone's assessment.
Nov 21, 2018 5:19 pm
"I don't know if anywhere is safe anymore."
Nov 21, 2018 8:45 pm
"Be that as it may," says Hunter in agreement, "it looks like some need a moment to catch their breath." She holds out a Potion of Greater Healing to Mai'ngor.
Nov 21, 2018 11:50 pm
"Save the potion," Melpomene suggests. "Let me help instead."
