D&D 5E EB's ToEE and RttToEE Campaign - IC

(OOC - Not sure if I need to save, but since it's a ghoul I'll assume I do)

Con save vs Paralysis: [roll0]

Aridha wasn't sure exactly where the creature was, but she knew how to find out.

With words in Druidic, she invoked a spirit of flame...a bigger cousin of the one she'd used before. This one appeared behind the ghoul, about the size of a halfling and MUCH hotter than the handheld spirit she'd had.

The room erupted into visibility, cast in that stark orange-yellow light.

The druid scooted warily away from the tunnel entrance to let Templeton in, and directed the fire spirit to attack the ghoul!

(Flaming Sphere. Ref save DC 13 or 2d6 fire damage. Can't roll it myself without wasting a post, but please feel free to do so in the post where the ghoul saves. )

The ball of flame brings light, awareness, but no hope as it shows three more creatures deeper in the crypt.

STILL Round 1

"Uhhhh...mates! We gots more deaders in 'ere!" Templeton yelled. He made a lunge with his rapier, but unlike the shambling zombies before, this undead quickly dodged the blade. Templeton then hopped back out of range for any riposte.

Ooc: move 5 feet
roll 11 to atk ghoul. MISS
bonus to disengage and move 10 feet back into deadend

Gwylla prepares to follow the others down the hole, pausing a bit at the entrance to steel her courage.

Zanword pushes quickly along, his elven vision shows him what look like two scabby barefoot legs. He hears the guttural growls of a near mindless creature wanting nothing more than to kill and eat. Hexiros is close behind, but Emmyr is falling behind his large dwarven shoulders getting caught up on the sides of the small tunnel every now and again.

As the vines keeping the creatures attention fade away the light stings their eyes and causes them to growl in hatred. The first ghouls then screams out as the flame bites deep into its dry flesh. It flees away from the pain and Aridha almost breathes a sigh of relief. But that changes to a worried gasps as more ghouls advance quickly, giving her only enough time to wedge herself into a niche, to provide some help in her defense.

Templeton isn't surprised when one of the creatures saw him move back and comes around the corner its jaws held open as wide as they can go.

Gwylla moves down the center of the column to the base of the small tunnel, she listens down the hole hearing a lot of grunting and cursing.

Templeton went defensive, attempting to duck and parry the various blows that came at him until help could arrive.

OOC: Dodge Action

Zanword increases his struggles to get down there fearing for his "...umm...pupil! That's it! Safe word, she is pupil and a friend. Nothing more. Now haul a$$, you sea worm." he thinks as he pushes from the earthen walls.

Aridha takes to using her shield to keep the creatures at bay (Dodge), while she concentrates on her sphere of fire. It rams one ghoul in the back, but it doesn't seem to care. It and the other ghoul continue to claw at the druid as she waits for help, hoping to drive off these creatures like she did the first. And then suddenly a strike to her temple has her seeing stars before everything fades to black.

Templeton hears Zanword grumbling something as he approaches from the tunnel. He manages to keep the ghoul at bay, with his weapons since he has little room to move. And then the light of the sphere goes out and he is once more in total darkness.
