ooc: Ok, there's a lot going on so forgive me if anything falls through the cracks...
IC: It all starts with Bryon. She sneaks down the main hall via spiderwalk, invisibly casting her spells and creating instant chaos. The hall appears to be made of pits of acid, people hanging from the ceiling being flayed alive, spinning around and falling as their screams pierce the still hall. Bryon can see several figures respond, bursting around the corner, weapons drawn as they come across the confusing scene. Suddenly a field of black rubbery tentacles spring from the floor, entwining the first responders who squirm and hack away at their captors in frustration. Then the sea of freed prisoners surge through the corridor and you head back towards your friends, hoping your spells serve them well for you can already see dozens of soldiers coming upon the scene. It's going to be a blood bath, or would be if it weren't for your help.
Feeling a bit guilty, Bryon returns to her companions. Ezran has decided to go the back route too, muttering to herself as she readies her spells. It doesn't take long for the attack to happen. You can hear screams and shouts from the main hall even from here and the noise has clearly roused the attention of others. A room door slams open and five guards start towards the main hall but, seeing Prizzard's werebear stops them in their tracks. They don't appear to see Raknesh or Bryon yet, but Tanzy and Ezran are also targets as they raise their black spears to hurl at you. Prizzard is able to reach them quickly and easily though, and though the spears are loosed, the throwers are quickly met with violence, both from Prizzard and Raknesh's arrows, which aim true. From there on it's a real mess, though compared to the main hall you have it easy. The spears of the guards feel cold as they hit, and you know their harm is otherworldly but you are able to shake off the worst of it. Prizzard takes on the most risk, being in front as he is, and at least Tanzy is able to take cover behind him, poking out with her sword here and there to stab a guard only to slip back behind him again. You almost feel guilty using him as a shield like this, but you somehow manage not to. He's a massive electric beast thing after all. He does take a few noteworthy hits unfortunately, but he gives it back even greater, electric arcs bursting from his body and into his attacker's.
You all are able to move down the hallway with great speed. Even though you have those in your way, it's nothing like the main hall's fray, which you can still hear going strong from where you are. By now you are near the throne room and the hallway intersects to the left. (see below, you are x). You can see now, one of the causes of the main hall's troubles. It appears to be a mummy of all things, and a massive one at that. His rotting body is covered in bloody bandages and he turns to look at you with a piercing scream more animalistic than human. The sight of him fills you with such intense dread and despair that you feel rooted to the spot...Meanwhile dozens of guards surge past him, heedless of you and making their way further down the main corridor.
ooc: Ok here's the various damages from these 3 rounds. Raknesh takes 13 damage, Prizzard takes 32 from a couple attacks, Tanzy takes 12, and Ezran also has been hit. As for the mummy, everyone make a will save DC 21 or be paralyzed with fear for 2 rounds. I imagine if that happens to Bryon it won't be as big of a deal, hahaha! If you make the save you may attack, his AC is 20 so you'll know if you hit. The M btw is for the mummy, so you know where he is.
Here's a reminder about being paralyzed:
