3-2 The Forgotten Abbey
Be sure to read and follow the guidelines for our forums.
In response to the manticore's Abbey-shaking roar, Morik rises up on his shaggy hind legs and matches the monster's roar with a titanic bellow of his own. Morik drops down, putting his heavy weight into his paws to stomp down on the beast, pushing the distorted human face down, and then clamps down on the monster's exposed shoulder with his massive bear jaws. With a twist of his head, Morik tears a big chunk of the monster's flesh out and blood sprays across the pews. The Lord Mayor Manticore takes 12 piercing damage.
Lord Mayor's Man Four rushes forward, kicking aside pieces of Mara, and looses arrows at Eozindra and Adran (but does so with DISADV because he didn't see the bear adjacent to him until he was in that space). His hands tremble at the terrible sight of the huge ursine beast tearing into his boss, and both arrows miss their marks.
Lord Mayor's Man Seven, however, recognizes that the second roar is not his boss, and he runs up until he sees the bear, and looses two arrows at Morik. One hits; Morik takes 8 piercing damage.
The injured Lord Mayor's Man Two is starting to look worried again, what with his wounds and Elowin's healing of two other intruders. He stabs at Elowin twice. He slips the sword in between her ribs. Elowin takes 4 piercing damage. Blood gushes, but she still does not fall! LMM2 backs away in horror as the elf turns her gaze upon him.

The Lord Mayor Manticore, furious at her stab, set out to eviscerate Eozindra with his claws. But his attack misses, interrupted by the battering and tearing by Morik, he rounds on the bear and tries to bite and claw him. His jaws sink into Morik's exposed belly. Morik takes 11 piercing damage.

"You aren’t allowed to scare me like that!" Eozindra shouts at her little sister, while dancing around the claws and lashing tail of the Lord Mayor Manticore. Seeing her opportunity, she sinks her rapier into its flank. The Lord Mayor Manticore takes 6 piercing damage. Eozindra calls "We need everyone in this!", casting Healing Word on Elowin, who is beset by enemies on all sides.
Elowin is healed for 4 HP.

Running low on options and realizing just how slim the chances of winning are starting to look, Adran raises his hand crossbow and aims at the rear of the manticore. The shaft sinks deep into the base of its tail. The Lord Mayor Manticore takes 9 piercing damage. He shrieks in pain and outrage.
(this was preceded by round thirteen, followed by round fifteen)
Ishi bounds to his feet and slashes at Lord Mayor's Man Six, cleaving with his greatsword. After his near-death experience, the youthful elf is emotionally wrung out, no longer filled with his all-consuming fury (Ishi is out of rages). Even so, he is deadly; Lord Mayor's Man Six takes 9 damage and falls to the ground, dead.
Suddenly alone, Lord Mayor's Man Eight desperately loads his crossbow and releases it with trembling hands at Elysia. The bolt goes winging past her, ricocheting off of one of the pillars.
Lord Mayor's Man Three, hearing the commotion, turns around to see two of his companions killed. He runs back around the statue pedestal and attacks Elowin with his mace. She is not going to put up with this nonsense; her shield blocks each of his heavy blows.
Lord Mayor's Man Nine is focused on the intruders attacking his boss. Apparently this is not the first time Gilles has transformed into some horrifying monster; Nine pauses only briefly at the sight of the manticore and then scoots past Lord Mayor's Man Four and the manticore to stop between Morik and Eozindra. He attacks each of them with his mace.
Morik the bear is struck for 7 damage and reverts back to his dwarf form!
Eozindra is hit, taking 7 damage, too!
Lord Mayor's Man Four was prepared to rush and attack Eozindra and Adran, but he finds himself entangled, so he tries to break free of the vines that have wrapped around his legs. With a titanic effort, he rips the plants out by the roots and stumbles through the doorway into the Chapel, the thick vegetation hampering his progress. Morik hits him with his staff as he passes; a glancing blow. Lord Mayor's Man Four takes 2 damage and is no longer Restrained. The robber arrives by the two heroes winded and with no energy left to attack them with his sword this round.
Lord Mayor's Man Seven shouts: "NO! IT'S-IT'S-IT'S JUST LIKE MY NIGHTMARES!" and tries in his horror and rage to pierce Morik with arrows. His hands are shaking too much, and he can't twist around to aim properly; both of his arrows miss their mark and shatter on the stone walls on the far side of the Chapel.
Lord Mayor's Man Two, meanwhile, hears the screams of his companion behind him and risks a glance over his shoulder. His horror mounts as he sees his path to his boss cut off by plants that are hideously growing out of nothing! The only way out is through the terrifying cleric whose face presages his death. He tries to attack her in the hopes of beating her back so that he can run past her to the hallway and freedom! His attacks draw no blood, but the distraction is enough: he makes a break for it!
But as he moves, Lunea's shimmering aura around him, visible only to Elowin, compresses with a clap of thunder. Lord Mayor's Man Two is pummeled, his body spinning in air, his bones cracking. Lord Mayor's Man Two falls to the ground, broken and dead. His premonition of doom was correct.
"Ishi, you'll help Elowin?" Elysia needn't have asked; Ishi is clearly focused on saving his 'aunty.' Elysia whirls and lunges at the robber who had the effrontery of trying to kill her moments before: Lord Mayor's Man Eight. Lord Mayor's Man Eight takes 11 damage.
Note: the area marked in green is Difficult Terrain from Morik's Entangle spell.
The Lord Mayor Manticore takes 8 piercing damage.
The words fill her with resolve (L2 Healing Word); Eozindra gains 6 HP.
Adran backs away from Lord Mayor's Man Four; the robber and the manticore take swipes at him as he leaves. Both miss, however.
The Lord Mayor Manticore takes 10 force damage!
Note: the green area is Difficult Terrain, and both the Lord Mayor and Lord Mayor's Man Seven are Restrained.

Seeing Ishi taking care of Lord Mayor's Man Six, Elowin sends Lunea's spirit sickle flying at Lord Mayor's Man Eight while she chases after Lord Mayor's Man Two - the miscreant who had just stabbed her. The sickle bites deep; Lord Mayor's Man Eight takes 8 force damage. Elowin's rapier bats the blade of his shortsword aside and then slides past his guard into the robber; Lord Mayor's Man Two takes 6 piercing damage. His eyes widen in shock and he gives a yelp of terror and pain. As Elowin finishes her attack, Lunea's favor flows into her once more; Elowin has 5 temporary HP.
Lord Mayor's Man Three, hearing the commotion, turns around to see two of his companions killed. He runs back around the statue pedestal and attacks Elowin with his mace. She is not going to put up with this nonsense; her shield blocks each of his heavy blows.
Lord Mayor's Man Nine is focused on the intruders attacking his boss.
