@C1NDER, DEX DC 18. Kris gets advantage on her DEX checks while she is in Bladesong, so she saved. Also, she has Ruby of the War Mage on the hilt of her sword, so she doesn't need material components for her spells.

The skull-faced fiend laughs darkly, as it rolls away from Kris' witch bolt. As the bolt strikes the web it flare into a conflagration of flames, burning Leh'veia's body into an unrecognizable char and Keltos' hanging body, likewise ignites and falls to the floor smoldering ash.

Near the southern end of Lucian's force wall, the swirling purple mist appears again. Dark whispers issue from the mass, before it vanishes once more. A moment later, the swirling purple mist appears in the far northwestern corner of the battlefield. A massive black tentacle reaches from the mist and grabs for Kris, even as the mist dissipates.

OOC:

@C1NDER, I put Kris at I9. I can move her to I8 if that's what you really want, but be aware that puts her in the web.

"...and I jussst healed him. Breathe again." Natrix grumbled as another green life spark flew to Keltos.

Another type of spark flew at the remaining skeletal warrior: three force blasts from her staff!

Lucian had no idea what the weird purple smoke was, and he didn't like that it was hanging out by the end of his wall. "Might be better to try and kill him - not much gets through the wall once you're in it! If we have to, sure. But maybe that guy first?" Lucian shouted his reply to Natrix as he looked to the skullface and took his own advice. A large psychic boom went off right beside the creature - hopefully it was smart enough for it to matter.

OOC:

The spell does not have to go through the wall itself, so should work. It is a 20 foot sphere blast, I put the center on the square above the skullface so that it doesn't hit Kris.

Spell: Synaptic Static, INT saving throw, if INT is 2 or under there is no effect

After a failed save, a target has muddled thoughts for 1 minute. During that time, it rolls a d6 and subtracts the number rolled from all its attack rolls and ability checks, as well as its Constitution saving throws to maintain concentration. The target can make an Intelligence saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Kris is caught a glancing blow from the large black tentacle, but evades being grabbed in its tight clutches. Radu vanishes from his position on the battlefield. The last bloody skull-faced fiend is harried by both Lucian and Natrix's spells, but remains standing in the midsts of the flaming web. Despite Natrix's aid, Keltos' blackened remains do not move.

Killian again goes into a full defensive stance within the globe of invulnerability.

Once more, a purple mist swirls into existence to the south and the loud thunderous BOOM! emits from the vague humanoid form. The fiery projectile streaks northwest headed for Natrix again. And the mist disperses.

Veering in midair with uncanny accuracy, the projectile impacts into Natrix.

"Damnéd Dalamar!" Natrix spat as she was again blasted, her body twisting to avoid the worst of it, her thoughts twisting to maintain control of the apotropaic field. "Drop the wall and get over here, Lucian! We mussst protect each other until the time runsss out!"

OOC:

If I can stave off some magic with the Globe and Lucian can stave off some physical attacks with a Force Wall/Sphere around us, we may be able to survive a bit longer. The aim was to survive 8 rounds, not necessarily slay all competition. Come into the circle, folks. :)

Natrix is able to maintain concentration and the globe of invulnerability stays in effect.

Natrix's firebolt hits the last visible foe, but does not take it down. The fiend flinches and glares with hate toward the offending Yuan-ti.

Lucian jolts to consciousness thanks to Natrix's distance healing. He glances up to see the fiend still standing over him. It leers at him for a moment, then vanishes.

Killian remains vigilant within the protective confines of the globe of invulnerability to any movement that may indicate where the next attacks are coming from.

And...again, a purple mist swirls into existence to the south and the loud thunderous BOOM! emits from the vague humanoid form. The fiery projectile streaks north toward Natrix. And the mist disperses.

The rocket strikes Natrix and explodes. Immediately following the impact of the rocket, the last skull-faced fiend reappears just outside of the globe of invulnerability and rushes in to attack Natrix.

OOC:

@Miss_Sadie, Lucian can take an action now if he'd like. @RageRed, Tajuri is up next!

"I hate this place." Lucian got to his feet and looked at the others. He hurt, but he could still move at least. And he did so, as much as he could while casting a heal on himself. "I can't put the thing up through your globe. Not without a giant hole in it."

"We have to try, Lucian!" Natrix said, a wince following her words. She wasn't sure how much more of this assault she could take, and she feared what they would face once the last skeleton was felled.

"I don't know what's coming, but I don't like the look of that thing!" Kris tosses her crossbow down and pulls her blade again, maneuvering around the last skull-face creature but to be farther away from the strange glyph on the ground nearby. She strikes at the creature.

OOC:

As I haven't made an attack with a two-handed weapon yet, she'll keep Bladesong up. She was planning on fiiring out of their protective sphere, but with that gone...

She uses Cunning Action, moves to M13 (or a spot close to that, if that puts her in the dark AoE effect and if that's bad - don't know what that represents), and attacks with her blade.
