Meanwhile Cat gives Yulya [2d6=3] temporary hit points and fires her crossbow at the zombie again.
Once again, her shot misses. She moves West with Yulya.

Cat scratches her head, wondering if it's the crossbow or her beaten-up state that is to blame.

Trying to stay out of reach of the zombie, puts them 30 ft West. Though the zombie catches up, it's used it's turn to catch up to Yulya, but still charged with electric energy it readies a touch to discharge it's remaining energy (use action).
The zombie doesn't manage to make contact but is still charged.

Yulya Nya!
Cat notices the zombie is still charged and off-limits for a melee attack. Cat waits for Yulya to attack the zombie. If it's still un-alive after that, Cat will fire one honed arrow at the zombie. If not, she'll fire a poisoned arrow at the bulette, leaving the ghoul for later. Assuming that the zombie is eliminated, Cat moves towards the bulette. Should by extreme luck the zombie and the bulette go down, Cat again turns her attention to the ghoul and approaches him for decapitation.

Cat wakes up confused, her body aching
N-nya what happened Nya?
She looks around ant at Yulya who just healed her.

Thank you Nya sorry for being so weak Nya!
Cat sees the zombie and ghoul and Yulya moving behind the throne. She decides to follow her - but not without a fight. Cat enters rage and shoots the zombie with a jagged bolt of her heavy crossbow. Then she uses Feline agility to dash - as well as she can - 35ft to a position 5ft NW of Yulya.

(In case Cat can't use Feline Agility, she won't take the shot and just dash).

Ashley's body suddenly takes a breath and her eyes open, she crawls out from under Cat and stands, dusting herself off, she drops her pack and shield and looks to Yulya in an initially perplexed way, she looks at all the dead bodies around her, then glances at the Ghoul and collects herself, then smiles. "Well, I have some things to tell you."

Ashley Nyaa!
I killed all the zombies that hurt you Nya and Yulya healed you Nya but you gotta be more careful Nya...

Yulya and Cat's minds are flooded with what Alice sees and where she is, everything Alice knows you know. You realize that M3gan has been busy guiding Alice to the secret room and that Nezzer isn't the one who is keeping the Ghoul in a daze, at least not anymore. The goddess has her secrets but the ghoul has been paralyzed and will remain so for 1 minute. She informs you there is a bulette to the West in the tunnel, and someone else...

Cat doesn't really get it but understands the situation here must be resolved quickly to help Alice over there

The blood on her face seems to absorb into her skin and her wounds are replaced by exposed metal similar to how Nixie and Olga look. She notes the strange glare Cat is giving her and touches her face. "This will fade."

Cat nods happily and doesn't concern herself with strange Ashley things any further.
Great Nya just lemme get rid of that ghoul next to ya before it gets any stupid ideas Nya!

More urgently, she turns and readies her stance toward the girl on the floor and informs you mentally that the girl is also a trap.
"Rise minion!"
Indeed the girl rises and faces you all with a wicked grin on her face. Without warning she casts boosted mirror image and laughs.

Cat looks around in confusion
Nya who's that Nya?

We need to take out the caster before we get overwhelmed! Everyone attacks one of them. Cat and me will deal with the ones far South and East!
Yulya casts Sacred Flame on image 4 leaving image3 for Cat.

Realizing this new enemy poses a higher threat than the paralyzed ghoul, Cat doesn't hesitate.

Gotcha Nyahaha! Finally I can use this Nya!
With a bright grin Cat takes her heavy crossbow and fires a jagged bolt at the mirror image 3.

M3gan looks at you with clarity, "You're friend Ashley is dead, I am... M3gan? Is that her pet name for me? Anyway my abilities are not the same as Ashley."

N-nya?


Cat looks at [Ashley] in confusion and then back to Yulya to confirm she's delirious again
Oh Nya! Whatever Nya just get rid of as many enemies as you can Nya!

Cat enters rage again. She attacks the ghoul flanking with Alice using her Greatsword with Heavy. If the ghoul goes down, Cat returns to the previous position.
Nyaa I don't like this place at all! Something's gonna happen!

Yula gives her injured comrade an apologetic look.
I am deeply sorry but I have no mana to spare Cat! Now would be a good time to use your greater healing potion Sir Harbin entrusted to each of us! Your injuries are severe so I think its use is justified. Even if I expend all my healing magic I probably could not get you back to full health.

Cat looks perplexed
Oh right Nya I forgot we had this Nya! If you say it's alright to use something that valuable Nya...

Cat searches for the Greater Healing Potion in her backpack and chugs it down in one go
Not bad Nya! I'd have liked to taste that dwarven ale though Nya!



Come on Nya time to rescue some girls Nya!
Cat storms ahead but also tries to stay out of the lynxes way.

Though Cat is severely injured by the combined force of the bugbears she refuses to back town. Unless all 3 are still up after Yulya's attacks, Cat doesn't disengage and run but continues to attack with her claws using Nick with a roaring Nyaaa.

Cat wastes no time. She enters Rage, draws her sword and sprints forward in search of the enemy. Using Feline Agility, she will continue as far as necessary to make enemy contact. But she waits for Alice to move ahead and scout, maybe with the chance to surprise them. If the enemy is out of reach, Cat casts fog with her ring and relies on her keen smell and hearing to gain an advantage over the enemy. If she can reach the enemy she will flank with Alice or Ashley's cats and try to strike multiple enemies with a sweep of her greatsword

Cat offers Ashley her share of food, or otherwise gives it to Alice. She tries to explain to her what happened with lots of Nyaas. Then she points to the passage.
Nya so whats down there Nya? Can we go there Nya or will the flame skulls come again Nya?
