Quickly, the soldier slammed one of her daggers into the mechanism she’d been holding. While she wanted to keep Briar safely away from the danger, she didn’t want to close the only exit they were attempting to get through. Swiftly, she turned and swung her sword at the first enemy she came across, trying to shove her way closer to her companions.

OOC:

I’d like to attack #1 and if possible move to that open spot at I think it’s L9. Once I do, I’d like to set my reaction for their counterattack into play.

@Kilikina You can attack. If you move you would get at least 2 attacks of Oppertunity.

@Khulod Please try and do your saves and take your turn by the end of the day so we can move forward. If you don't I will make the saves and take your turn for you.

@grifter730,@Khulod,@Redamancy,@Kilikina
If everyone wishes to run, please say so! On your next turn If all of you take the Disengage action/bonus Action and use your movement to run away I will give you some breathing room.

The group quickly becomes surrounded by the undead cultists, each one trying to drain the life from them. Some manage to resist the cultists' malevolent gaze, but others feel their bones and muscles ache, their bodies growing sluggish.

Alyria shoves her dagger into the gears, stopping the gate from slamming shut. She slashes her sword at the cultist blocking the way, and it dissipates into nothing, its evil green torch clattering to the ground. Briar looses an arrow, which flies through a cultist, leaving a small hole in its head, but it remains standing. Ashtar unleashes a bolt of magic, but it misses and hits the ground instead.

Eye of the Storm and Darkcloud rush out of the room. The undead mound of gore flings its tentacles at Darkcloud. The first wraps around its hind legs, beginning to pull it back into the room, while the second strike misses, narrowly avoiding Ashtar.

Couth's lifeless form remains in the gullet of the undead, slimy monster, slowly dissolving into nothingness. The floor trembles as the dungeon continues to collapse, the chaos intensifying with every passing second. The party fights desperately to survive as the dark forces close in around them.

Ashtar struggled for air as panic clutched him, surrounded by the undead cultists. He took out his quarterstaff, for all the good it'd do, trying to clear a path for himself towards the exit.

OOC:

We need some sort of AoE or we might be toast if we try to fight this through melee.

Ashtar's making a run for it to join the others. If nothing else, we can attack it by blocking it at the chokepoint so that they can only attack one at a time, whereas we can surround them.

I’m just gonna sit here and keep going for now. If our lovely Eye of the Storm decides he wants to run, then abandon my attack. I’m just waiting to be the last one out since that matches my character’s personality and it makes sense to attack while I wait. I’ll still run if everyone else does.

Seeing her companion trying to make a break for the doorway, Alyria slashes out at the spectral in front of the door, hoping to cut it down and free up the area to get through.

Ashtar and Alyria both push their way through the undead cultists and slip through the portcullis. Briar and Eye of the Storm are ready to flee with them, but the scene behind them is dire.

Couth is engulfed in the gullet of the undead mound, his form slowly being consumed by the grotesque mass. Darkcloud is currently entangled by the beast's slimy tentacles, struggling desperately against their constricting hold. The room shakes violently, the walls and ceiling crumbling as the entire dungeon threatens to collapse upon them. The party is on the brink of escape, but the fate of their comrades hangs in a precarious balance.

OOC:

I have everyone on the otherside of the Portcullis besides Darkcloud and Couth.

Everyone but poor Couth seemed to be making it out. Ashtar felt awful about it, but all their lives were at stake now, this wasn't the time for despair. "Make a choke point! Alyria!"

OOC:

I don't know what else we can do. With no way to escape, Ashtar goes to K-13 and blasts the creature at the end of the corridor, then takes out his quarterstaff.

@Kilikina can Alyria take L-13? Could use someone else at M-13 too. That way it's 4 of us (the fairy probably from the back) attacking one skeleton at a time. That should be doable (I hope).

EDIT: Added attack.

EDIT 2: Good f’n lord……… Ashtar needs to stick to being an actor instead.

The party hurriedly sets up a choke point to block the spectral cultists and the slimy monster. Briar fires another bolt, striking one of the cultists, which vanishes with a ghostly wail. Ashtar unleashes another blast of eldritch magic, but it disappears into the chaos as the ritual room collapses. Tons of dirt and stone crash down, burying Darkcloud, the slimy monster, and the spectral cultists in a deadly avalanche. As the dust settles, the group's urgency spikes as they see the grotesque ooze of the monster reforming on their side of the portcullis. Time is running out.

OOC:

@grifter730,@Khulod,@Redamancy,@Kilikina The party has 4 rounds until the Dungeon fully collapses on top of them.

Eye of the Storm looked back as the others fled, but his heart sank as he saw the absolute terrifying fate of Couth and his feline companion.
"Nooo!" The Tabaxi wailed. He desperately wanted to retrieve Darkcloud's body, knowing he could revive her at least, but he saw that it was suicide to do so. Instead he squeezed away his tears and turned away from the horrid sight.
"Come!" He croaked. "We must flee!"

Small tears spring up in the fairy’s eyes at not only seeing the loss, but hearing the breaking heart of their tabaxi friend vocalized so ardently. With the sob choking her throat, she holsters her crossbow and turns to race away with the party.

OOC:

Double movement, bonus action movement if needed. Will race just enough ahead to determine the next pathway and lead the group out as quickly as possible, but not so far that the rest of the group falls behind.
