While maintaining her grapple, Cat attacks Nezzner with her claws. Even if it takes both arms to hold him, Cat also has claws on her feet.

Flanking with Cat, Yulya casts Sacred Flame amplified by goblin staff and celestial revelation on Nezzner. On the way and outside his opportunity attack range Yulya picks up his staff, all while averting her eyes from his gaze.
The staff feels remarkably light, but she can tell it would take some attunement to use it. She can't tell what it does but it looks depleted for today anyway as all the seven gems on it are dull and dark.
Still avering her eyes from Nezzer Yulya briefly looks at the staff not sure if it poses any danger. In a prayer she asks Eldath and SheShe if she should keep it or get rid of it. Even with its energy expended it radiates enough magical energy so Yulya was able to detect it.

Nezzner's muffled scream of pain indicates it hurt him significantly.
Yulya catches herself feeling conflicted bout this. On one hand she is glad her attack is connecting but she is attacking an unarmed and restrained humanoid that has shown no open hostility...
Yulya hopes to offload killing Nezzner to someone else and moves up to Cat bestowing Domain Spell Heroism on her for 0MP. Then she moves back to her previous position. She sees Alice being chased by a bugbear and glances over to the ghoul. There are still far too many enemies around - not to speak of zombie material. Yulya nervously looks at M3gan panther hoping she will be done soon so she can deal with the bugbear.

His eyes taste awful.
Bah, so much for eating you guys...
Alice tosses one of Ashley's candy-coated herbs into her mouth to get rid of the aftertaste.

Bugbear1 runs blindly west, following the sound of her footsteps and flailing his mace in front of him.
Hey, don't blame me, I did what I can for you...
As a bonus action, Alice continues dashing 80ft W stopping at a position 15ft S of Nezzner. As soon as the bugbear chasing her is in view, Alice shoots a blast-component poisoned arrow at him in an attempt to put the poor creature out of its misery. Alice considers luring the bugbear to the ghoul and hiding behind him so the bugbear would hit the ghoul.

[Round 11][Ghoul will recover in 6 seconds][M3gan Panther will be ready in 18 seconds]

[Saving Throw[D] vs DC15 1d20-1+1d4=(4,8)]


Alice is yet unable to shake this feeling.

While maintaining her grapple, Cat attacks Nezzner with her claws. Even if it takes both arms to hold him, Cat also has claws on her feet.

[HIT[A] vs AC12 1d20+2+5+1d4=(18,20),(24,28)][DMG 1d6+5+2=8,13]

Cat's toe claws rake into Nezzner, by his desperate pleas she can tell he can't take much more of this.

You note there are at least 4 rings on him as well as an amulet. The amulet is a necklace that can be removed.

[ESCAPE[D] vs DC17 1d20+1=(12,12)]

Struggle as he might, he can't break free.

In a prayer she asks Eldath and SheShe if she should keep it or get rid of it, but she receives no answer. Yulya hopes to offload killing Nezzner to someone else and moves up to Cat bestowing Domain Spell Heroism on her for 0MP.

Alice continues dashing 80ft W stopping at a position 15ft S of Nezzner. As soon as the bugbear chasing her is in view, Alice shoots a blast-component poisoned arrow at him in a [foolish and futile] attempt to put the [nearly full health] poor creature out of its misery.

[HIT vs AC18 1D20+2+3+1d4=8][If there is a range penalty, 5e (disadvantage) is way too harsh, I have taken 3.5e's range penalty of -2 per increment over normal range.]

She misses whatever target she was aiming at.

The stirges continue to feed happily on the Bugbear, though he is close to death.

Bugbear1 continues his blind flailing, coming upon the bulette, he attacks the unconscious creature mercilessly. M3gan panther glances over at him with distaste but continues her task.



[HIT[A] vs AC22 1d20+9=(12,18)(16,17)]

Even his attacks deflect off the stone-like hide of this massive beast.

Yulya feels a presence coming, she doesn't quite understand it yet.

Alice watches Cat mangling Nezzner with mixed emotions but somehow feels like the situation doesn't concern her.

Bugbear1 continues his blind flailing, coming upon the bulette, he attacks the unconscious creature mercilessly. M3gan panther glances over at him with distaste but continues her task.
Using her connection to M3gan, Alice tries to let her know never to disturb an enemy while he's making a mistake! Maybe she can rock the bulette's body a bit so the bugbear thinks it's still moving.
With both the bugbear and the ghoul far away and Nezzner off-limits for whatever strange reason, Alice decide to deal with the ghoul (read: THE GHOUL) who is just waking up first. She dashes East until in normal range of her hunting bow and shoots a blast component poisoned arrow at him and then falls back West to her current position.

Yulya nervously watches Cats barbaric carnage glancing left and right - at the ghoul and bugbear.

Seeing Nezzers magic items Yulya moves in again and clumsily attempts to remove the amulet and the rings without looking Nezzer in the eyes. More out of shame than a measure of precaution. Then she retreats to a position 5ft west of her previous position.


Yulya feels a presence coming, she doesn't quite understand it yet.
Yulya tries to determine the nature of the presence with her superior perception and wisdom and if it is coming from the staff. If so she throws the staff South as far as possible.
Is Sir Mormesk coming for us already? Or the Spectator?
Yulya isn't sure whether any of this would be good or bad. But to her both are bad news in general.

She's helpless to remove the rings from his grasping hands and the amulet would need to go over his head, Cat has that in her arms.

Yulya's residual sense from her detect magic spikes off the scales and she turns to see a familiar... face.



The jaw of this frightening skeletal being opens as it did before and your minds are filled with knowledge. He addresses you as Mormesk once again but this time with recognition, barely.

"I'm afraid I may be early, or late as I have no way of determining when the full moon will be, the mountain has been sealed..." He contemplates the situation, "So it is true, the Forge of Spells has been taken and now I understand why I was never retrieved."

[You get the sense he doesn't know why the mine was sealed or how.]

Just then the Ghoul makes a sudden jerk and awakens.

With a flick of his wrist and a sound that can only be described as 4th dimensional, pierces your ears in a near deafening whirr a beam of blinding light reaches out to the ghoul and tears a hole through it.

He turns to the Bugbear, flailing wildly at the corpse of the Bulette and again fires from his scepter, the head of the bugbear is vaporized as his body falls to the dirt.

His voice floods Cat's mind, "That's enough, let him go. I must have a word with him."

[Cat must make a decision here, she can tell he's near death. Your choice is to finish him or let him go as Mormesk asks.]

Additionally he lays his sights on M3gan Panther and aims his scepter.

[Make your moves carefully]
