(Sorry for the delay, players! I'm still here!) Positions of characters at beginning of the next round... (Chaos Beast: red; Eovin: purple; Selythin: green; Alan: blue; Zenythin: yellow.) The strange black snake with wings, claws, and fangs continued scritch-scratching up onto the next level...

Selythin attempted to cover his compatriots as best as possible, maintaining his hex on the snake-like chaos beast as it continued to skitter up the closest three-story tree. Cousin Zenythin still clutched at his torso, head down. He tried to stay near Selythin. Alan, hurt from the blast of...

Selythin blasted the skittering, slithering chaos beast as it started to close. Eovin flew up, attempting to spray the beast with magic, but missed widely. Alan held fast, ready for when the beast closed within melee range. (Since the beast never got there, Alan never got to attack.) Instead...

(Selythin's action will take place as the beast closes to within 5 feet, on its next turn. Beast is 20 feet away currently. Eovin gets within 10. Alan is in the back, also 20 feet away, but can still take a move and action.) ***

The chaos beast skittered off the tree and slithered toward the group. It wasn't fast enough to strike out at anyone with claw or tooth, but it looked much bigger now that it was closer, towering over Alan and Selythin. Cousin Zenythin hesitated in the hallway, waiting to see what the rest...

(Just for reference. You're all at the star. The new chaos beast is at the furthest tree, 60 feet away. Meaning, it will take a double move to close. The beast is scurrying and sliding down the tree trunk incredibly fast.)

Alan and Selythin inspect the vanity, noting there are three more vials of the swirling lavender liquid in one of the drawers. Otherwise, the vanity seems like an ordinary desk for putting on make-up. The scuffle didn't seem to have done anything but cosmetic damage. After a hurried inspection...

(Booming Blade couldn't be much louder than the loud bashing and clanging and breaking noises that are happening now. I'll have you check Stealth again as you move up to the next level.) Selythin's strike started to go wide yet again but the black ancestral blade's magic turned a near miss into...

The bright pink smoke rolled over the party as well as the coughing, sputtering hobgoblin. Purple and violet tendrils wound this way and that, clinging to limbs, obscuring visibility momentarily. Only cousin Zenythin managed to step back far enough into the corridor to avoid gas pouring from...

The three hobgoblins, lugging a large vanity table, began to step through the double front doorway of the castle. Selythin and Alan hung by either side of the frame and,as soon as the occupied enemies were visible, attacked in unison. Alan stabbed with his rapier, he was getting better and...

The double doors swing open after a clatter and a clink. Two of the hobgoblins had their heads facing away from the party, hefting a large vanity table, pushing the doors open my their necks and backs. Easy targets. The third, also carrying the big dressing and makeup table, had his head down...

Although the group has "the drop" on the hobgoblins on the other side of the main double door, everyone roll initiative. (Even if they roll higher you will all go first so include your first round actions and attacks as the doors open.) The clinking of the lock turning. Some scraping sounds...

Before the trio pried open the double door, they heard more of the hobgoblin argument. "No! No! We was told to take em out. 'Specially these perfumes and such. And then... We're told to bring em back. That's what we were told to do." Rebutted the first. "Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Why are...

"Hmm..." purred cousin Zenythin. There was lots of debris and broken furniture of various sizes and shapes strewn about the corridor around them. It was apparent to the whole lot of them the door could, in fact, be jammed. (It'll take an INT roll to precisely wedge something in the way or a STR...

Eovin knew there were no hobgoblins in the trees, which meant the party only needed to check the handful of rooms near the castle's front entrance. There were three doors in that corridor. Two of them, one north and one south, were partially exposed, former "secret doors" that had long been...

Eovin started to flit silently toward the stairs up to the next level above. Selythin clattered in his armor and got a hissing "shhhh!" from the pixie and tailor-turned-would-be-royalty. Cousin Zenythin put his hand on Selythin's armored shoulder. "Perhaps the changeling princess is right...

Eovin and Alan both paused at moments as the three heroes, and cousin Zenythin, crept up the stairs to the ground floor. The little pixie tugged at Selythin's collar, making the elven knight duck as a sinister shadow passed. Alan peeked around the corner, raising finger to lips. Eventually...

(Go ahead and take that Short Rest, roll hit dice if anyone is missing any HP at this point. After that, going up to the ground floor, go ahead and give me a Stealth check for the three main characters Eovin, Alan, and Selythin. Two out of three successes and you can move into any area of the...

Selythin finds, after a few moments of trying various keys and locks, that all four of the cells are in working order. Selythin was certain the hobgoblin jailor wasn't going anywhere. Zenythin drew his sword and pointed it, but laughed as it was obviously unneeded. As for the sniffling...

Thanks for trying! Me too.
