Hunter says, "Not if we kill him first!" She sends a wave of electrical energy around her hand, demonstrating power.

Several of the humanoids look impressed, including the ogre and the gnoll. These ones stand up and nod, "We go with you," the gnoll says, speaking for the other monstrous creatures.

The dwarves finally stand and nod as well. Finally, the other gnome sighs, "I will go, too."

The original gnome looks shocked, "You're fools, all of you!" he says before flopping his little body back to the ground in defiance.

Hunter shrugs. "We already killed his pet wizard," she says. "Gave the eyeball a few good whacks and made it retreat. So we're taking this opportunity while it's available."

She begins to journey through the tunnels. "But hey! Good luck!" she adds as a parting farewell.

Hunter asks the gnoll, "So, which way is out?"
May 24, 2019 5:35 pm
The gnoll looks pretty old, with grey around his mouth and throughout his fur, "I don't know anymore," he says, "Been here many years."

One of the dwarves steps forward, "I know the way out to the open tunnels," he says, pointing further up the path you've taken thus far.
May 24, 2019 5:58 pm
Hunter peers at the dwarf, trying assess if the short one is telling the truth. However, regardless of whether or not she senses deception, there is no other path.

She hands her light crossbow and case of bolts over to Mai'ngor. "Let's go."

Hunter doesn't sense any sort of deception from the dwarf, who fearlessly leads the way up the path for you. You zip through several narrow corridors before emerging into a cavern, probably 80 feet deep, 60 feet wide, and with a 20 foot ceiling. There's a tunnel on the opposite end, but it's blocked by Karazikar and two ogres.

The beholder has an angry look contorting his features, "You've killed my favorite servant!" he snarls.
OOC:
You get initiative. They are about 80 feet from your front line. What do you do?

"We'll send you to a happy reunion!" snarls Hunter in return. At the entrance to the tunnel, she loosens and drops her bag of whetstones, kneeling to plant both hands on the cavern floor. Between her hands, a circle of light surrounds the whetstones, rotating with arcane glyphs. It is a gamble since the beholder is looking in her direction, but Hunter gambles that her spell only affects the source and not the outcome.

With a flare of power, one of the whetstones catapults through the air towards Karazikar.

The flash of light nearly blinds Hunter, and when her vision clears, she sees that she is alone.

Invigorated at the sight of foes he can reach and fight, Mai'ngor charges the ogres.
OOC:
Dash action for 70ft.

Is Karazikar still 20ft in the air?

I still have Bardic Inspiration from Melpomene. Is that still usable, or is it past the 10-minute expiration period?

The ceiling is only 20 ft up in here and he's not that high at this point. I will also allow you to use the bardic inspiration.

Don't forget, you are all invisible now!

Melpomene beams as she realizes she can be much more helpful here. She dashes forward and to the left, trying to get as close to that wall as she can.

Karazikar is caught off-guard by Hunter's projectile and takes it right in the side of his big head.

Mai'ngor and Melpomene rush toward their foes at the end of the cavern.

Sarith hisses to Elayna, "Get back down the tunnel," and then moves toward the beholder, staying along the edge of the cavern.

You can hear footsteps heading back down the tunnel. Clearly the beholder's slaves aren't interested in fighting him.

Hunter, crouched on the ground with her hands inside the glowing circle, barely has time to blink as a multitude of colored beams accost her.

She finds that she is unable to stand as her body locks into place. Hunter briefly considers whether the boulder feels the same way after an avalanche.

Locked in place, Hunter is unable to avoid the other beams. Her breath is sucked out of her lungs by the necrotic energy, and her body begins to turn to ash from her legs up through her hair. As the flakes of dust crack across her face, Hunter's eyes focus on the beholder, and she gives a wry grin.

Melpomene screams in rage and grief, and reaching out a hand chants a series of dark syllables. A giant, clawed hand appears just above the beholder and reaches for it with long fingers.

Frozen in fear, Xeliss backs away as far as she can and hides, sending the shield guardian forward in her stead.

As Mai'ngor charges forth, he doesn't have time to look back at what happens as four rays of energy move past him and toward his companions. As he reaches the ogre, he slams his hooves into it, but it doesn't go down. He follows up with a brutal slash from Sinag, burning away the flesh of the monstrous creature.

Hunter is struck by four eye rays, one after another. She doesn't have a chance to even react as her skin begins to harden and then she turns to a pile of ash on the floor. There is a small clang as the enchanted necklace that once held Elayna's soul falls to the ground.

From the back of the cavern, an agonized scream rings out and Elayna's footsteps can be heard racing for the site of Hunter's death.

Naatkinson sent a note to CancerMan
Melpomene summons a huge hand behind the beholder and grabs it from the back to hold it in place. It struggles against the grip, but can't seem to escape.

Xeliss sends her shield guardian forward to fight the ogre beside Mai'ngor. It smashes the side of the thing's face with its first punch and then strikes it in the ribs the second time.

Sarith appears from the darkness and stabs it in the spine twice with his blades. It wobbles before toppling to the ground dead.

Karazikar is very annoyed by the giant hand holding him in place, but can't do anything about it now. With an enraged growl, it launches forth more beams of light at its foes.

Sarith is caught off guard as the ray slams into his back and he slumps to the ground, dead immediately.
