Urban still struggles to get his bearings but luckily has some stability from Rydler’s hold.

As he wills himself forward, Urban is again overwhelmed with the dread of the evil presence so oppressive to him in this place. This dark entity, though unseen, is lurking and striving for his destruction - Urban is sure of it.

Seeing the portal about to close, Urban gives it everything he has to push through.

Rydler's sudden reappearance gives Ybus the focus he needs. The halfling digs deep and surrounds himself in healing light (8 hp healed), then blasts the rat god with a multicolored bolt of sparkling brilliance.(20 radiant damage, and the next attack roll on Aplu has advantage).

Still to act: Baracus.

Baracus's physical form is under seige, battling the Filth Fever, face down in filth. But, his mortal soul is elated! His friends he had thought lost had returned. He rises out of the muck, anger and euphoria merging together.

At that moment, Ybus's magical bolt slams into the Rat God, illuminating his chakras, and Baracus smiles. To clever by far.

Seeing double, he probes the left rat god with the first sword and hits nothing. So, he drives furious palm strikes at the other one, aiming for weak points in its physical form.
OOC:
Action: first sword attack, crit fail
Bonus action: flurry of blows: 16 for 10 damage and 18 for 10 damage
Con save: Success!

Round 4: Baracus, Plague Rats

In Baracus weakened state, he is unable to land as many blows as he's like. But bolstered by his friends, he still proves a worthy match for the Rampaging Rat God. (10 bludgeoning damage)

Though the rats are greatly reduced in number, and many of those that remain have begun feeding on their own dead, a few still remain to nip at Ybus' heels. However, the halfling is just too quick for them.

Erden sends another wave of magical owls toward the swarming mass of plague rats. His body sags with exhaustion, but he maintains his focus, refusing to give in. Seeing Rydler emerge from the portal gives Erden hope and his grimace is replaced by a wide smile.

Round 5: Erden

Erden's magical owls rid the temple of the rats once and for all. A handful of survivors scurry away into crevices in the stonework. With the incessant squeaking gone, a new sound becomes just barely discernible. A familiar whispering, snickering, and gibbering - its coming from the well.

Baracus is down in the muck and the shit and the flies, so he feels right at home. He's out of fancy moves, but he hangs on to Rat God with all his waning strength and tries to stab him somewhere sensitive so that the Rat God fights him and nobody else.
OOC:
Action: Stab Aplu with an attack roll of 17 for 11 piercing damage (bless made that one squeak by). Also made my con save so I'm free of the Filth Fever!

Round 5: Baracus

The first sword pierces the Rat God's flesh (11 piercing damage). The stench from the wounds he has dealt it makes Baracus gag, but the fever that had him in its grip seems to be fading and the fever still races through his veins, but Baracus feels the fire of his rage overtaking the effects of the disease.
OOC:
That's Baracus' third successful CON save, so next round he will no longer be suffering from the effects of Filth Fever.

"Something's coming up like day-old eggs!" Ybus calls out as he moves away from the well. "Maybe we oughta clog it up with Big Stinky there!" He points at the Rat God and launches a sizzling beam of arcane force from the tip of his belaying pin, while sending a spray of Healing Light at Erden.

Urban is still a bit disoriented but seeing Barracus locked in conflict against the vile rat fiend, he launches into action.

Urban tries to stun the beast with a shield strike first. He then signals to Barracus, attempting to work together to cast the wretch into the well pit.

that’s probably a Miss on the Shield as Improvised Weapon. If so unfortunately Urban doesn’t get the Bonus Action for Gapple attempt. Loser .

Round 5: Urban

Pivoting on his heels, Urban lets the momentum of his first, missed swing carry him into a full rotation, bringing the Captain's Shield all the way around to slam into the rat god's breastbone with both a sickening crunch and a flash of holy light! (4 bludgeoning damage + 7 radiant) Aplu is almost knocked off his feet, but Baracus' grip on him helps him recover.

The Rat God's corporeal form can't take any more of this! From the well, the gibbering and chattering is growing louder.

"Wonderful plan, Ybus!" Rydler calls out, running to catch up with the Baracus and Urban freight. Placing a hand on each of their backs, he stares at the Rat God "You are going to pay for what you did to that little girl; courtesy of the Phules."

Erden lifts a finger to the cigar in his mouth and lights it off of his finger before taking a few puffs and pointing his index finger at Aplu, "Do you feel lucky? Well... do you, punk?" he says before pushing his thumb forward and sending a bolt of flame shooting at the Rat God.

Aplu turns his baleful gaze on Urban. The paladin feels sick to his stomach, and begins to gag.

A tendril snakes out of the well. A mouth sprouts from it, then a mouth.

Baracus feels a clarity fall over him. Gone is the Rat God's temple; now he is on a mist-shrouded mountain, in Qinglai.

Though his body is incredibly weary, he climbs. He feels Rydler's divine touch elevating him, and feels the burning fires in his mind quiet. He rises above the clouds and ascends to the top of the peak, where a titanic figure sits cross-legged, the sun to their back so that he cannot see their face.

"Father?" Baracus calls out, but his voice feels weak. No confirmation comes. He continues to climb until he is face to face with the figure.

It is ... himself.

The figure opens his eyes.

"Witness." he whispers.

The mountain becomes the Rat God. The mists become the darkness. The Baracuses becomes Baracus, but also Baracus becomes his friends. Baracus understands.

Witness.
