"From my best foretelling, the boats themselves are not the inevitable trap here. I do not know where they will lead or how difficult it will be to take them with the dwarves there but for what it's worth."

Remembering already being soaked, she says over the skull's patter, "I guess we take a boat trip."

"Kill the dwarves from the entrance? I think you said they got hostile when you started to enter."

Tante Lude is ready to attack the dwarves. They are undead and have been hostile before, and they seem to be part of this whole murderous dungeon setup. Her Celestial stands ready as well.
"Any prep spells you wish to cast before engaging these creatures of the Mad Archmage?" she asks her companions.
After they have all answered, she will cast Spiritual Hammer before entering the cavern.
"When you are ready Nyx, give the command and we will engage."

Since players initiate combat I will allow you to position your PCs are you desire and all PCs will have higher initiative than enemyLet me know if you like the positioning I made and you could do your first round turn already.
Please note that dwarfs are hanging 15 feet above the water chained to the ceiling.

You create a floating, spectral weapon within range that lasts for the duration or until you cast this spell again.

You can't prepare action outside of combat initiative. You can only cast one level spell on first roundJun 28, 2025 4:36 pm
Actually, I was just putting those in as already in action. The Summon Celestial is still up from the last fight and the Spiritual Weapon was cast the previous post rather than the start action post, though it is a bonus action spell so she could still cast a cantrip if it's the same round:
"Any prep spells you wish to cast before engaging these creatures of the Mad Archmage?" she asks her companions.
After they have all answered, she will cast Spiritual Hammer before entering the cavern.
"When you are ready Nyx, give the command and we will engage."

Unseen Nyx
Nyx scans the area one more time with his blindsight ad tremorsense. If nothing else catches his attention he releases his wildshape and readies his longbow.
OOC:
@GreyWord Can you mark on the map the location of the dwarfs? or at lease indicate ranges and elevation? Would my first attack have advantage as coming from being invisible or is it canceled and I do not get advantage?

FInishing the WIP:
Tante Lude summons a spiritual hammer to attack the dwarf to the party's north, following it with the death bell of a Toll the Dead cantrip. The Celestial flew at the one furthest to the east, striking two at him with his mace made of light.
