"Of course." Mayon calls back to Asano, moving to face the other door. Knowing he lacks the strength to keep it shut, he instead focuses on holding a spell should it open.

Movement: Moving to AB14
Ready action: Eldritch Blast first person to come through the door should it open. Will edit post with a roll if needed.

Jak looked, a bit wide-eyed, at his handiwork for a moment before blinking several times. He wasn't used to doing damage like that to a group of people. Usually he was more of a supporting helper in the combats the group had been in thus far - at least in his mind. He shook it off, however, and shot a raised eyebrow at Asano taking the lead with 'suggestions'. He then gave a shrug and a smile, whirling the club around a bit as he moved to stand just a bit from the non-frozen doors, ready and waiting should anyone enter from that way.

Like a well-practiced team of acrobats, the brown robed monks overcome their surprise at finding unwelcome guests in their shrine and advance swiftly.

Hopping nimbly forward, one monk springs through the left side of the partially closed double-door and carefully avoids the trap laid just inside the room. Ducking and spinning, the other pair engage with Asano and Morg, limbs flying in carefully orchestrated feints and parries.

Despite their prowess, two of the monks fall to Morg and Rona's attacks. Morg is caught unawares however, as a second monk lands a combination of blows with its hands and feet.

The ice around the frozen door cracks at another blow from outside the room, and the door cracks open slightly.

Morg's eyes goes wide, surprised by the power of the unarmed monk's hits, and says "Asano, please send ma shield to ma maw and paw via Laviguer."

Instead of jabbing with Reszur, he then attempts his own unarmed attack by trying to push the masked cultist into the orc's trap.

Zora paused for a moment to focus a spell on one of the monks. She then moved to the ice covered door and set her shield and weapon, ready to act as a rear guard.

"finish those and we can run! Come on morg! Hang in there!" she cried and waited for the door to break.

---

down to the crap cantrips. sacred flame on m6 for 4, dc 13 dex check for no damage.

Rona skirts around Asano, his dual blades at hand. He strikes at the closest monk, intent on keeping the unconscious one from being awoken. "Don't die on me dwarf! Can't let an orc upstage you, now can ye?"

OOC: Would I be able to move Hunter's Mark from M5 since it's unconscious?

Asano stands his ground, the wand in his left hand suddenly spitting a multitude of missiles at the pair of monks moving into the room. "Zora, Morg could use a blessing, if your god be willing," he calls over his shoulder. "We must secure this door before we can retreat."

Mayon keeps his eye on the frozen door, tensed to run should the opportunity arise at the other end and ready to attack if it does not.

When the door opens, he immediately looses the magic and shouts a warning to the others. "They're breaking through!"


Continuing to hold action to attack if the frozen door is opened.

"I've used all of Valkur's grace I can, until I get a chance to pray again! If anyone has anything else to lend him, now is the time."

Zora and Asano each cut down one of the monks with respective magics. The shrine falls briefly quiet as the frozen door continues to creak open slowly.

---

Mid round update! Map updated.

Zora and Asano's turns have resulted in M6 & M7 dying, so I suspect Jak, Morg, and Rona will want to take that into account for their turns. If you've already posted in Round 12 you can either update your post or delete it and post a new one.

@Mayon, go ahead and roll an attack for your readied Agonizing Blast - it will probably be used ;).

@Asano, I only debited 4 charges from the wand of magic missiles, since M6 died before your turn.

@Rona, yes, you can transfer Hunter's Mark using a bonus action as usual next round.

Jak backpedaled from the frozen door since too many people were worrying about it and not enough worrying about the monks and the open door that were a threat right then and there! He moved to a spot he could still see both the frozen doors and the open doors for the moment. He saw Morg looking shaky and head him cry out, so he used the club to beat on his drum and called out, "VIGOR!", sending healing magic the dwarf's way.

---

Spoiler text: (Highlight or hover over the text to view)
Vicious Mockery if triggered
His eyes narrowed at the next enemy to show itself and he spat out mocking words at them as well, focusing on the one closest to his friend. "I'd say t'pick on someone yer own size, but you're a bully so I'm not sure you CAN!"

---

OOC: Move to AD-17.
Cast Healing Word on Morg for 6hp.
Cast Vicious Mockery, 4 dmg, readied action on first person to come through one of the doors he can see.

"Down the stairs or out the other door?" Asano asks of the group, speaking quietly to keep his voice from carrying through the doors or halls.

Morg prepares to push the monk who clobbered him into the orc's trap, but sees the two nearby cultists killed in a flurry of magic before he can do so.

Feeling his bruised body healing from an unknown direction, he looks around and says "The iron banded eastern door looks similar to the exterior ones."

Morg grabs one of Qarbo's arms and starts dragging him. "Any long legs who can help with this body?"

---

Free interaction with one object: grab Qarbo's arm.

Move and Action: Dash 25' (halved for dragging) from AD23 to AD18.

The frozen door finally swings open and a pair of monks burst through. They dart forward, leveling vicious kicks and punches at Zora and Mayon, who both evade all of their initial attacks.

OOC: Sorry bout not changing my post last round, must've missed the update post.

Morg drops Qarbo when he sees two new monks trying to attack his friends, and despite not wanting to lose Dweeble's dagger throws it at one of the monks. He then runs back to go pick up the morningstar he dropped before, and charges at the monks with the spiked weapon.

Jak frowned as more monks rushed in. This was getting to be a serious situation. If more and more monks and guards kept coming in with no chance to rest or escape, they were going to eventually be beaten down or killed. He glanced at Morg. "If this keeps up too much longer we ain't gonna be able t'get outta here alive. We need t'get outta here or get somewhere more defensible."

He then looked at the monk attacking Mayon and called out, "Are you usin' drunken style, or are you just new t'fightin'?"


OOC: Just realized that Jak does potentially much less damage with a club than he does with Vicious Mockery since it's not a Finesse weapon. Sad. =)

12:16, Today: Secret Roll: Jakrynn Redgate rolled 2 using 1d4 with rolls of 2.  Vicious Mockery damage on M8.

"Well, they're going to run out eventually!" she laughed at Jakrynn's call to move. "But agreed, we need to catch our breaths and find a safe place to rest. Let's finish up with these and get out of here."

She swung the morning star at the closest monk, hoping to wear him down.

---

Hits AC 10 (riiiight) for 8 piercing damage

Trapped in close combat, a place that he surely doesn't want to stay, Mayon grits his teeth and raises his quarterstaff defensively, backing away quickly without taking his eyes off the monk.

Action: Disengage
Movement: Moving to AE17
I hate to waste a potential attack but Mayon's useless in close combat without his spell slots :P

Morg throws the glowing dagger. Flashing through the air as it spins, dim shadows whirl around the stone pillars of the room. The dagger lodges itself in the side of one of the monks, and its cold light continues to illuminate the darkness.

The monks continue to spin and whirl, attacking Zora and the half-orc with well-placed punches and kicks. One kick lands in Rona's chest, briefly doubling him over in pain.

---

Map updated!

Mayon disengages and moves back.

Mayon took advantage of his reclaimed distance, taking aim and unleashing another spell towards the monk harassing the half-orc. The beam is shaky, but stronger than usual.


07:24, Today: Mayon Graycross rolled 11,13 using d20+5,d10+3 with rolls of 6,10.  Agonizing Blast M8.
11 to hit for 13 damage on M8.

Zora stepped around one of the monks carefully, moving around him while swinging her weapon at him, and ending up within reach of both of them. "Finish these quickly, and we can catch our breath."

---

Moves around M9 to Z14, staying in combat range with M9 the whole time and hopefully not provoking AoO. She swings her morningstar at M9 and hits AC 13 for 7.

Asano shakes his head, stepping back into the audience chamber. Raising his wand, he blasts at the nearest enemy monk with a ray of frost.

---

Jak thought about running in to the melee to help, but the club in his hands felt unfamiliar and foreign. He wasn't sure how effective he would, and not for the first time he wished for his shortsword. For the moment, he settled on trying to help how he could, by trying to rattle the 'cages' of the attacking monks.

"Does it make y'angry t'see your friends lyin' on the ground an' see that yer punches an' kicks're hittin' only air? Boy it would make me mad!"


21:53, Today: Jakrynn Redgate rolled 4 using 1d4 with rolls of 4.  Vicious Mockery on M8 (or M9 if M8 goes down).
