Encounter: Three Beast Boy Mercenaries and 2 Dragon Cult Adepts
Round Two
Kurzon grabs the glowing pliers and lobs them back through the bars of the portcullis, plunging the storeroom back into darkness.
Aquaria concentrates, and is again repulsed by the mind of the mercenary.
Auraia again fires her crossbow, and grazes the mercenary as he hides behind the turned-up table.
Udit fights off the fear caused by the strange dragon scales and shoots the visible adept in the throat. The man gurgles, eyes wide, and collapses to the floor.
Darko blasts a mercinary, taking a chunk out of the table to get at him. The mercenary falls back and stares at the sky.
"Noooo!" yells the other adept, rushing out from behind the wall. "Move forward or die!" he yells at the remaining mercenary, who grabs the pliers and shoves the table forward, keeping low behind it.
The adept runs along with the table, keeping it for cover. When he gets close enough to the portcullis, he utters incantations which manifest a transparent red dragon around him, which breathes fire on the men behind the iron bars.
GM:
Adept casts a "refluffed" 2nd Level Burning Hands on Kurzon and Drako, who take [roll0] fire damage (dc13 Dex Save for half damage)
Udit's mouth dropped open with the fiery charge - that cultist was bold - what was quite the move! He flinched but smirked when the flames didn't reach him. He openly smiled at Kurzon's attempt to magically command the mercenary. Well, better not interfere with that he told himself as he retreated slowly backward into the darkness. He drew an arrow. He needed just the right angle... there!
MOVE: to F11 - goal is to be in the darkness and still have eyes on the cultist
He let it fly, aiming for the fire throwing cultist. He should have run and gotten help. Too late for that now.
Drako moves quickly avoiding much of the fires damage but still his flesh is singed. Taking quick aim at the man who unleashed the wave of flame, Drako returns fire with a blast of energy.

Round Three
Kurzon speaks words of command to the mercenary, who nods and stands.
Aquaria struggles to fry the mind of the Adept, and again is locked out.
Auraia puts a crossbow bolt into the table. Thump!
Udit shoots the Adept in the chest, who stumbles forward and is knocked down by Darko's eldtritch blast.
The lone remaining mercenary, shoves aside the table, grabs the rope, and hauls the portcullis up and ties it off.
He then shakes his head in disbelief at what he has done, and holds his hands out in surrender as Kurzon marches toward him.
GM:
Congratulations, Kurzon! I'm not sure I've ever seen a character do so well in a fight while doing zero damage!
