Domarc catches a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye, but as soon as he tries to focus on it it's gone.

Leth and Mordred, you're up. Need a CON check from Felor.
Dec 17, 2019 2:01 pm
Sorry for the delay! I guess this is karma for not checking in 😬

Felor is wondering if the central table is some sort of elevating platform mechanism when he's blind-sided by the doorman, and the party hear a horrible crunching sound from his torso as he hits the ground.

I am at zero HP! Not sure if I still need a CON save but here we go.

Felor lies on the ground twitching.

Leth and Mordred are still up, but I will probably advance the round later this afternoon to keep things moving!

The headless body of the doorman advances out toward Mordred and lunges while the head cackles soundlessly.

Edit: Quick on his feet, Mordred only suffers a rake of claws across his arm and shoulder.

All party members can take an action now, except for Felor, who isn't doing so well at the moment.

"Well, I'm a little busy here to climb, but I'll give you some time!" snorts Zangua, trying to head off the doorman and present himself as a better target. As if to drive home the point, he thrusts twice for the creature's legs, seeking to limit their mobility.

Felor lies on the cold stone floor, his vision fading but the continuing sounds of battle ringing in his ears.

The beast's claw slide across Mordred's arm and his eyes flash. The rage he feels at this creature boils over, and hellish flames surround the doorkeeper.
[ +- ] Hellish Rebuke
As the flames dance, he slides to the floor next to Felor, and pours a Healing Potion into his mouth.

Hellish Rebuke is a Reaction to taking damage, so the Healing Potion is Mord's Action for the turn.

Ol' Mord is down to single digit hit points as well, FYI

Mordred points an accusing finger at the monster.

Edit: Flames lick at the doorman's taut hide as Zangua slashes at its legs, connecting once and dropping it to one knee. Its head, lying on the floor, bites helplessly at the air.

Felor reflexively swallows the healing potion.

Domarc and Leth can take actions.

Leth backs up as far away as he can from the creature and unleashes two more arrows at it.

"I don't think we can go anywhere until we know this thing won't be following us."
OOC:
Heading out of town for about a week and a half tomorrow. Not sure how often I'll check in.

Domarc remains on the platform, and casts healing word on Mordred at 3rd level.

As his action, he will unfold his Wind Fan and use it to cast Gust of Wind at the creature, hopefully pushing it and its head back down the stairs (STR save DC 13).

Healing word - 3rd level - (3d4+4)

Leth backs up to the far end of the room, takes careful aim, and fires one arrow into the creature's breast. With a steady hand, he nocks and draws a second arrow, loosing this one to bury itself just below the stump of its neck.

As Domarc recites restorative words to Mordred, the doorman begins to shake and tremble, its hide peeling off in thin papery strips as its head rolls around biting at the floor and the air. With the words of healing spoken, Domarc unfolds his fan and waves it at the doorman.

Countless fragments of the doorman's hide swirl in the air as the fan conjures strong gusts of elemental wind. Its bones topple backwards, snapping like dry twigs under their own weight. The head stops rolling on the floor and begins to cave in on itself, sagging like wet plaster. You hear a soft moaning sound.

BullOctorok sent a note to rocksteady
When the winds die down only fragments of bone and wisps of hide remain scattered about the room.

Combat is over.

Zangua kicks some of the fragments down the stairs, though it not so much an attempt to scatter the creature's essence, more of a display of inner sentiment. He then turns to gauge the party's condition, offering help to anyone that needs it.

"Someone said they found a way up?" he asks.

Everybody make a Perception check.

"The runes here have something to do with levitation," Domarc says, pointing to the platform. "If we can figure out how to trigger it...maybe something with the lantern?"

CancerMan says:
"Someone said they found a way up?" he asks.
Domarc notices something. When Zangua speaks these words, a tiny candle flame flickers to life above one of the carved head-posts. It lasts for only a second or two, then winks out of existence.

Party, your late Christmas present is that you can make an Insight roll for clues at this point.
