D&D 5E (IC) Vault of the Dracolich (Ensemble)

“It’s feeling a little cramped in here,” Drako said mostly to himself before he clutched the crystal he wore around his neck and then touched his arm before he jumped up in the air and flew 20 feet over the rest of the fighter and let loose two blast of energy at the skeleton in the back.

Drako & Lorenn

Drako flies over the fight and sends his bolts down on the skeleton. It shudders with the impact but stays together.

Lorenn summons his ball of fire. While the archer manages to roll out of the way of it, she does not want to be burned and she orders her men to run north. As she begins to flee that way herself, she calls out to Zander (who she saw as he disappeared into the darkness of the lower lake), "I'm beginning to think you're right, Zander! Is whatever deal they offered you still on the table?"

GM: They've already gone, though, so they'll run next round. [sblock=Rolls]Save: 1D20+4 = [9]+4 = 13 [/sblock] Gone: (PCs) Drako, Lorenn; (BGs) Already gone Damage Taken: (BGs) Archer 4, Skeleton1 8

"I can't speak for Imani," Zander yells from the darkness. "I could arrange an introduction and you and he can come to terms. Or we continue fighting each other and only The Beast gets the last laugh."

Genasi Siblings

Valindra the archer had a keen eye, had seen what the Genasis had done, and could tell that all their eyes were on her, even from their positions of dim light. She said, "Okay, I'm done. These guys will follow my lead, but I can't speak for the skeletons. Not my doing. It looks like the last of the Cultists are heading back to their magic door."

Sure enough, around the corner, out of sight of everyone, the last two cultists were rushing back to the Bhaalite Obelisk as fast as they could carry their barrel of alchemical death.

Guldred thrust his Warfork at Bob's skeleton and it jammed into the undead's ribs, while his Lizardfolk companions thrust and threw spears at it. One of them, the male named Rhussuk, jammed his spear through the skeleton's face so hard, that it lost most of it's teeth. It's jaw hung open loose, which was a welcome change from the mockery of Bob's infectious (if often inappropriate) laughter.

But like Bob before it, the skeleton refused to fall, and it bashed the female lizardfolk Shosha's javelin aside when she threw it at him.

The battle ebbed and flowed around him and Kurzon still couldn't believe that the skeletons were standing. His sword sang again as he sought a way past the skele-Bob's defences.

OOC: cunning action to move to Q16, fire, move back

Udit stepped up and fired in the gap in the ranks

"I uh, didn't like you much but you didn't deserve this Bob..."

shot at bob the skelleton: 1D20+6 = [11]+6 = 17


shot at bob the skelleton: 1D6+3+3D6 = [2]+3+[5, 6, 2] = 18

Ensemble

OOC: Yeah, that's what I thought woud happen...

With little else to do, everyone turned on the remaining skeletons. Bob's skeleton remained far past the point that everyone expected it to, but burned, battered, shot and stabbed, eventually there was little enough left of it, that the bones fell, splashing into the water. By then, the other skeleton was long since crushed to marrow.

Sesto and Zander leaped over the end of the lower lake and secured the new prisoners, returning them to the Pit of Teeth to add to the growing herd.

The cultists escaped into the Bhaalite Obelisk with their barrel.

GM: Two damaged skeletons don't last long against a 13 PC, 5 NPC party. It's going to take the cult a bit to come up with an alternate plan. You should quickly decide what to do with all those prisoners, split the group up and decide on two approaches to go get that last Idol.
