So for those of us trapped below, what are our surroundings like? I don't have a very clear picture in my head of what this place consists of. Probably that's just because as a PBP it's been so long in real time since the last time it was described.

Tarsin is lost in thought trying to remember the layout of the upper levels the vizier is leading us to, trying to choose the most opportune moment to strike, when suddenly the stairs vanish from beneath him. He tries to reach out for a handhold on the wall, but begins to plummet just before he...

Two questions. 1. What happened to the templar I was engaged with? 2. Who did we leave outside, up above? I seem to recall more Templars of the shadow king, right?

Tarsin fights off the grapple of the templar who had escaped the net. STR check: 1D20+4 = [16]+4 = 20 He then moves his Hex from the vizier to that templar (bonus action) and brings his metal mace down upon him. Is he prone? I'll make two attacks in sequence in case he is and I have...

Obviously my compatriots aren't as dazed and slack-jawed as feared; Tarsin will stick with the actions I declared earlier.

Can I tell that everybody else is charmed? If so I would change my action if initiative allows for it?

Wisdom save: 1D20+2 = [19]+2 = 21 Seeing the templar nearby free from the net, Tarsin pulls out his new metal mace with one hand and with the other casts Armor of Agathys. (5 temporary hit points, and if I get hit with a melee attack the attacker takes 5 cold damage).

Seeing the others charge in after the Templars, Tarsin waits until Kimet has moved past him and can't see him. then he casts Hex on the vizier (disadvantage on STR), then fires an Eldritch Blast at him. Eldritch Blast : 1D20+6 = [11]+6 = 17 Eldritch Blast damage: 1D10 + 1D6 = [3]+[1] = 4

Initiative: 1D20+3 = [5]+3 = 8

Tarsin is largely ignoring the others once Kimet begins raising the door, looking to see as soon as possible what is going on beyond.

Quietly Tarsin alerts the others: "He's just through here. Secure them, then let's get through this door!"

[Assuming Chick successfully tied up the one templar and Aramalian still has the other grappled] Tarsin pushes past the Templars and listens at the door at the far end of the room. Perception: 1D20 = [20] = 20 A good roll for once! The luck o' the Irish on St Patty's Day! (Not really. I'm...

Tarsin to the rest of the party: "So there is more. I knew it! And whatever it is it has the Shadow King's attention. I bet even Vorden doesn't know what's down here!" Then more quietly, indicating the Templars, "Tie them up and let's follow."

Tarsin sees his allies closing on the two docile Templars. "Speak! What did you come here for? The weapons in the armory, or something more?"

How do the Templars respond to Tarsin's words? Do they give any clear indication that they don't want to fight or is Kimet going to murder them anyway?
